The fine folks at Fatshark have just released the next chapter in the multi-million selling Warhammer: Vermintide 2 saga, Chaos Wastes. Even better, the expansion is available for free, so as long as you own the base game, you can grab Chaos Wastes at no additional cost.

So, in Chaos Wastes, the players are charged with reaching the Citadel of Eternity, but, apparently, only the pure at heart will be able to complete the journey. To survive the journey to the Citadel the heroes will have to leave their fancy and hard-earned armor behind and go back to the basics.

According to developers, the journey can only be completed by a true pilgrim to navigate through to the unpredictable region without a map and where no journey is the same. The Citadel of Eternity is a place most have only heard of through rumors. It's located in a region under the influence of the Chaos Gods.

We are excited to invite everyone that owns Warhammer: Vermintide 2 to join us in the Chaos Wastes adventure. The Chaos Wastes expansion is available for free for all players regardless of system,” says Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark.

Chaos Wastes introduces unique coins that can be traded for godly favor or weapons. Also, players seeking additional challenges while on their Pilgrimage can find so-called Chests of Trials. Opening a Chest of Trials draws the attention of a monstrous foe, but if defeated, players will be able to claim an important reward.

The new expansion adds uncorrupted shrines, where heroes can seek the favor of wholesome gods in the form of Miracles & Boons. Naturally, such favors are not earned without sacrifice. Waystone Altars is another new gameplay mechanic, which is accessible through sacrificing Pilgrim's Coins. These altars contain weapons employed by previous pilgrims, and the more Pilgrim’s Coins the Reliquary demands, the more powerful the weaponry to be found within.

Finally, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 players can look forward to new potions that offer powerful benefits, which might be enough to even the odds on a long and difficult journey. The Chaos Wastes expansion will be released on consoles at a later date.
