You’ll find all sorts of information here regarding the Ranger Veteran Career (for Bardin Goreksson) in Vermintide 2. The Ranger Veteran is a surprisingly GREAT starter class, who helps carry teams past the awkward early and mid-game. This career is one of the few which helps with your teams’ ammunition management and even “makes” potions!

- Survivalist: Specials drop ammo pickups on death.
- Loaded for Battle: Double ammo capacity.
- Fast Hands: Increased reload speed.
Ranger Veteran Career Skill
- Disengage: Bardin deploys a smoke bomb that conceals him from enemies whilst he stays inside.

Well that’s about it (FOR NOW) regarding Bardin Goreksson’ Ranger Veteran Career path in Vermintide 2. While the Ranger Veteran ain’t so flashy, it serves as a great supporting party member in the early game. Late game, free potions can be extremely useful still!
