'''Enemies''' are all hostile creatures encountered by the [[Heroes & Careers|Heroes]] in ''[[Vermintide 2]]''. Enemies can vary greatly in size, strength, durability, but also in their attack patterns and behaviour. On top of this, some enemies have unique abilities, which increases their threat level greatly. For the players to survive, it is vital to know what enemy you face and which tactics to use accordingly. ==General Information== === Factions === Factions are race divisions of enemies and consists of '''Skaven''', '''Chaos''', and '''Beastmen'''. All base game enemies belong to either [[The Rotblood Tribe]] (often simply called "Chaos") or the [[Skaven]]. [[Beastmen]] were added into the game with the [[Winds of Magic]] DLC. There are equipment [[Properties]] that affect factions. 'Power vs. Skaven' and 'Damage Reduction vs. Skaven' are effective against all Skaven. 'Power vs. Chaos' and 'Damage Reduction vs. Chaos' are effective against both Beastmen and Rotbloods. ===Hit Points=== Enemies have set hit points based on the game [[Difficulty]]. Every enemy has their own hit point value, which can be found on their individual page. ===Headshots / Weak Spots=== All enemies take increased damage from headshots as a headshot multiplier ===Stagger resistance=== Enemies have a stagger resistance stat based on the game difficulty. This value determines whether an enemy is [[Stagger|Staggered]] when hit by a certain attack. Stronger enemies generally have a higher stagger resistance. ===Mass=== Enemies have a mass stat based on the game difficulty. Mass determines the amount of bodies a weapon is able to [[Cleave]] before stopping in its swing. === Ambience === === Patrols === <blockquote>''Facing a lone Stormvermin is challenging enough, but all too often these vermin group together in patrolling warbands. Such encounters are challenging to the point that even veteran warriors are known to choose discretion over valour, allowing the patrol to pass rather than confronting it head-on.''</blockquote>Patrols are large groups of [[Elites]] and [[Horde]] enemies which march around set paths on [[Missions]]. If a [[Hero]] gets too close to a patrol or [[Attack|Attacks]] them, they will [[Glossary#Aggro|Aggro]] onto the offending hero; additionally, if their only target(s) die or are invisible they will go back to patrolling. Patrols can easily be avoided by staying away from their pathing.This strategy becomes more viable on higher difficulties as the number of elites per patrol increases. ==Enemy Groups== An enemy grouping is a collection of enemy units which share similar traits/roles as one another. ===Horde Mobs=== The weakest type of enemy, horde units can spawn as ambiance, in patrols, and in [[Horde|hordes]]. There are two infantry units per faction, with some having multiple variants. * [[Skavenslave]] * [[Clanrat]] (''[[Clanrat#Shielded|Shielded]]'') *[[Fanatic]] *[[Raider|Marauder]] (''[[Raider#Bulwark|Bulwark]]'') *[[Ungor]] ([[Ungor#Ungor Archers|Archers]]) *[[Gor]] ===Elites=== The term 'Elite' refers to enemies who can be pinged but are not technically Specials. They are harder to kill and hit harder than regular Infantry units. Elites might be [[Armoured|armoured]], such as [[Stormvermin]] and [[Chaos Warriors]], while others like the [[Plague Monk]] and [[Savage]] mainly deal high damage. Elites can also form [[Patrols]] that roam the mission and can be extremely dangerous. * [[Stormvermin]] ([[Stormvermin#Shielded|Shieldvermin]]) * [[Plague Monk]] * [[Mauler]] * [[Chaos Warrior]] * [[Savage]] * [[Bestigor]] ===Specials=== Special enemies have a variety of unique abilities, such as the Packmaster's ability to snatch a hero and drag them away, or the Globadier's ability to throw gas bombs at the party. The details of each Special's abilities are too many to list here and are detailed on their individual pages. * [[Gutter Runner]] * [[Packmaster]] * [[Poison Wind Globadier]] * [[Ratling Gunner]] *[[Sack Rat]] * [[Warpfire Thrower]] * [[Blightstormer]] * [[Lifeleech]] * [[Standard Bearer]] === Miscellaneous Enemies === Miscellaneous is a loose-type for enemies which don't fit into other categories. * [[Bomb Carrier]] == Bosses == Bosses are the largest, most powerful foes found in the game. They are among the most formidable of foes as their intimidating size coupled with their raw strength and enormous health pools make them dangerous to fight even for the most coordinated of teams. Even with their large health pools, all bosses have [[Enemies#Boss Damage Reduction|Natural Damage Reduction]]. Monsters are seldom alone, often bringing with them a mix of hordes, elites, and specials. Lords will summon underlings to assist them. ===Monsters=== Monsters are an enemy type that have a chance to spawn at predefined triggers in the map. Upon hitting a trigger, a monster will rush towards the heroes and a wall of flame or acid will block the hero's path forward. Players can identify a monster before seeing them through unique boss stingers and music that plays when they spawn. In the base game, all monsters have Monster armour; however, Minotaur which were added in Winds of Magic actually have berserker armour. Monsters consist of: * [[Rat Ogre]] * [[Stormfiend]] * [[Bile Troll]] * [[Chaos Spawn]] * [[Minotaur]] ===Lords=== Lords are unique, named bosses which are tied to the overarching story of the game. There is one Lord per act, each appearing within the final sequence of their respective map. [[The Skittergate]] also contains two unique bosses that are not technically considered Lords in respect to challenges yet they possess traits shared with the four lords. * [[Burblespue Halescourge]] during Act I, [[Halescourge]] * [[Skarrik Spinemanglr]] during Act II, [[Into the Nest]] * [[BΓΆdvarr Ribspreader]] during Act III, [[The War Camp]] * [[Gatekeeper Naglfahr]], [[Deathrattler]], and [[Rasknitt]] during Act IV, [[The Skittergate]] *[[Nurgloth the Eternal]] in the final mission of [[The Curse of Drachenfels]], [[The Enchanter's Lair]] == Bosses and Damage Reduction == All boss enemies have one of these three types of damage reduction: '''Lord''' damage reduction, '''Armoured Boss''' damage reduction, and '''Boss''' damage reduction. Base damage, headshot/crit damage, backstab damage, and power boost damage are all individually weighted based on reduction type. * Damage reduction is the mitigation of general damage output (excluding other damage modifiers like headshots and potions). * Headshot boost reduction is the mitigation of headshot and crit damage. * Power boost reduction is the mitigation of power-enhancing effects. This includes [[Potions|strength potions]] and abilities from [[Shade]], [[Huntsman]], and [[Ranger Veteran]]. * Backstab damage reduction is a unique modifier for shade. === Lord Damage Reduction === '''Lord''' damage reduction belongs to [[Burblespue Halescourge]], [[Rasknitt]], and [[Deathrattler]]. Armoured Lords do not have this type of reduction, as they are instead given '''Armour''' damage reduction. '''Lords''' have: * Damage reduction of 80% * Headshot boost reduction of 75% * Power boost reduction of 50% * Backstab damage reduction of 50% === Armoured Boss Damage Reduction === '''Armoured Boss''' damage reduction is given to bosses with [[Enemies#Super armour|super armour]]. This includes [[BΓΆdvarr Ribspreader]], [[Skarrik Spinemanglr]], and [[Gatekeeper Naglfahr]]. '''Armoured Lords''' have: * Damage reduction of 20% * No headshot reduction * Power boost reduction of 50% * Backstab damage reduction of 25% === Boss Damage Reduction === '''Boss''' damage reduction is given to enemies which are considered [[Monsters]]. This would be your typical [[Rat Ogre]], [[Minotaur]], etc. '''Bosses''' have: * Damage reduction of 45% * Headshot boost reduction of 50% * Power boost reduction of 50% * Backstab damage reduction of 25% ==Armour Classes== The armour class of an enemy determines its resilience to certain damage, as well as which 'Power vs'-weapon [[Properties|Property]] works against this enemy. There are four armour types in the game. ===Infantry=== Unarmoured enemies wear no or little armour, making all parts of their bodies susceptible to all attacks. The head can still be hit for bonus damage. Among others, all [[Infantry]] enemies have this class. Power vs Infantry does bonus damage to Unarmoured enemies. ===Armoured=== Armour deflects blows and negates damage, so it is best to avoid striking it. When an attack is completely deflected by armor, a small red skaven-shield shortly shows up below the cursor of the player, indicating no damage is done. All Armoured units are still vulnerable for head-shots, so you should always aim to hit the head with both ranged and melee. Though there are ways to penetrate armour, keep in mind that it '''always''' negates a part of the damage done. The following methods allow heroes to bypass armour to different extents, depending on the attack used: * Critical hits * Heavy Attacks (except bashes) *[[Potions#Potion of Strength|Strength Potions]] * Weapon attacks with the [[Armour Piercing]] characteristic * Weapons with the [[Shield Breaking]] or [[Ignore Shields]] characteristic ===Super Armour=== Super Armour is an extension of the Armoured class. The [[Chaos Warrior]], [[Standard Bearer]], and three bosses ([[Skarrik Spinemanglr|Skarrik]], [[Gatekeeper Naglfahr]], and [[BΓΆdvarr Ribspreader]]) has super armour. The main difference is that their armour negates more damage from attacks that should bypass it (listed above). This means that aiming for weak points becomes even more critical for dealing damage. Power vs Armoured does bonus damage to Armoured enemies. ===Berserker=== Berserkers are a sub-group of [[Elites]] consisting of [[Plague Monk|Plague Monks]] and [[Savage|Savages]]. Power vs Berserkers does bonus damage to Berserker enemies. ===Monster=== Enemies with this armour class have a natural defense against damage and have high stagger resistance: only certain Hero [[Active ability|abilities]] and [[bombs]] can [[Stagger|stagger]] them. All [[Monsters]] have this armour class. Power vs Monsters does bonus damage to Resistant enemies. ==Enemy Table== {| class="article-table sortable" border="1" cellpadding="5" style="border-collapse:collapse; ! Name ! Faction ! Type !

These include a Chaos Zombie with a lying, bloated corpse-like body, a Plague Sorcerer, Tentacle Sorcerer (which looks exactly like the Lifeleech) and Chaos Tentacle with a simple blob as body. Additionally, there is a Stormvermin Champion model, looking exactly like Chieftain Krench, one of the bosses of ''Vermintide 1''. It is unknown whether or not these enemies will be added at a later date. {{EnemiesNavigation}} [[Category:Enemies]] [[Category:Content]]
