[Update #2]: Deep Rock Galactic's Season 1 patch has added a hefty amount of free new content!
[Update]: Deep Rock Galactic's massive mod support update has now been unleashed!
After being teased for quite a while, Deep Rock Galactic's massive balance update has now finally arrived. It brings with it a couple of nerfs to some of the most ubiquitous weapons and traits, while also buffing just about every underpowered strategy, weapon and overclock. And yes, this does include fun stuff like Engineer's electric turrets or the rocket-jump grenade launcher overclock!
Besides all of the balance changes, the update has also greatly improved gunplay by making it far more responsive and resistant to lag. As a consequence of this projectiles should fire instantaneously, use less bandwidth, and in general just do exactly what you want them to regardless if you're the hosting or simply joining a random match.

[Update]: Vermintide 2's June 14th, 2022 update will add Be'lakor's presence to the rogue-like Chaos Wastes.
After learning from their mistakes with Winds of Magic's Weaves, Vermintide 2 devs have now returned to give the whole rogue-lite game mode thing another try. And as luck would have it, the brand new Chaos Wastes expansion is not only some of the best content Vermintide 2 has received so far, but the whole thing is also entirely free to boot!
The brand new Expedition game mode features thirteen fancy new maps to explore, a whole assortment of randomized traits and weapon upgrades to kit yourself out with, a bunch of new events and modifiers to contend with, and as is tradition, an innumerable tide of rats and Chaos worshipers to cleave your way through. And unlike the Weaves that fragmented the community into a hundred different queues, Expeditions use good ol' fashioned Quick Play to get you into matches pretty much instantly.
