Basic TLDR tips
Clear Overwhelming Horde:
You can always:
  • Use skills, certain heroes have good AoE spells to clear horde and mobs
  • Hold your block button then tap your attack button to push the enemies back
  • Remember this combo: block, push back, swing, block, and repeat the cycle

Weapon Choice:
  • Against single target enemy - Weapon that swings from top down is the best
  • Against horde - Weapon with wide arc that sweeps side to side will be effective

When to range attack:
  • Conserve your ammo because is easy to run out but hard to replenish
  • Save them because you will need them to kill specials

Craft:
Re-roll properties and traits on weapons til it fits your style

Thanks zarthor, I'm glad this intro guide has helped you! :8bitheart: Apparently, there is several discussion on either to hoard chests or open them immediately . But I will just make a short summary

To sum up, the chest rewards in vermintide 2 are tiered based on game difficulty ranging from recruit to cataclysm. Therefore, the rewards are capped to the power level of the game difficulty.

Do I open or hoard chest? it depends
(i) Open chests - Firm that you're using the same class, then you should go ahead to open them
(ii) Hoard chests - Decide to switch to a different class and not suffer huge drop of power gap, try hoarding them

Hope this helps! :bbtgem:

Some weapons have an alternative-attack, which is MB3 by default (for example Saltzpire's billhook,or Rapier+Pistol)
