Stamina

Stamina is a rechargeable resource in Vermintide 2 that allows you to perform defensive actions in melee combat - mainly, blocking and parrying. Stamina is used every time one of these actions takes place, and regenerates over time.

Your current stamina can be determined by press and holding RMB while holding a melee weapon. The number of small shields on your screen indicates your current stamina (2 stamina points = 1 shield).

Weapons provide different amounts of Stamina, which is used for Blocking and Pushing. Stamina grants 1/2 shield per 1.0 Stamina. Blocking an attack or Pushing within your 'block angle' costs 1/2 shield. Blocking or Pushing outside of this angle costs double. Blocking a heavy attack costs all of your shields.


 * Due to a bug in the pre-release beta, Weapons display half their actual Stamina beside the block-angle guide. For example, a spear says 3 when it really means 6, or more precisely- 3 shields.
