Weekly Events
''A Challenge Awaits. Embrace it swiftly for it will not linger long.''

Weekly events are Quick Play missions that feature random modifiers every week.

Special Events
From time to time the game has special events which change the look of Taal's Horn Keep.

Each event also has special Quests which can often reward a special Portrait Frame.

Skulls for the Skull Throne
This was the first ever event in Vermintide 2 in patch 1.1.0.1

The event had a quest to get the "Champion of Khorne" frame by completing 10 quick play games.

Sonnstill Celebration
The event was presented on patch 1.1.1

The event had a quest to get the "Rhya's Blessed" frame by completing 10 quick play games.

Mondstill Celebration
This event was presented on patch 1.4.1

It hasn't introduced any changes to the keep's visual appearance, but included two seasonal quests rewarded with seasonal portrait frames:
 * "A Season for Slaughter", where players have to complete 5 quick play games on Legend Difficulty to acquire a "Wolf of Winter" frame.
 * NOTE: Patch notes have stated custom games are valid for this quest as well


 * "Let Fire Guide Thee", where player needs to find and light 4 bonfires on four different maps (one bonfire on each map) to acquire the "Festively Frozen" animated frame.

A Quiet Drink
This event was presented for the Vermintide 2 One and Two Year anniversary. It takes place on a Helmgart map that mixes some elements of previous levels. Bottles of ale are disseminated in the second half of the level, and players have to drink them so as to not fall in an Hungover state, where they cannot use their special ability. Drinking three bottles in a row grants a greatly accelerated cooldown on your special ability, but drinking more will immediately put you out of combat.

The quests it brought were :
 * Finish the level to get a frame.
 * Find 9 pieces of Art in the level to get a painting.
 * Drink all of the bottles in the level to get another frame.

Geheimnisnacht
This event reigns during Halloween and adds pumpkins and more candles to the Keep to add to the season's atmosphere. Not only this, but during the event most of the outdoors missions are set in night mode, where the only lights are cast by Mannslieb and Morrslieb in the sky. The event has a themed Weekly Event, two event quests and the frame "Fangtastic Fortitude" has been brought back.

The portrait frame "Fangtastic Fortitude" can be obtained by playing a game with a person who also has the portrait. The other one, "Deathwalker", is obtainable from an event mission.

The halloween quests are:


 * Complete the Weekly Event to earn a painting
 * Complete 10 Quick Play Missions to earn a frame

Happy Holidays!
