It's tough to give a single, definitive answer for how long it takes to "beat" Warhammer Vermintide 2. The game is clearly inspired by the Left 4 Dead and Payday franchises. This style of game is meant to create unpredictability that gives every map a certain element of replayability.
Still, there is a reasonable timeframe for those looking to "finish" Warhammer Vermintide 2. Although every player will have a different definition of what that means, there are a few approximated answers that should satisfy these various gamers. A special thanks to HowLongToBeat for compiling this data.
How Long It Takes To Beat Warhammer Vermintide 2
- Main Story: 11 Hours
- Main Story + DLC: 30 Hours
- Completionist: 131.5 Hours
Each map has the heroes accomplishing an overall goal with hiccups that usually get resolved in combat in between. When pieced together and played as a campaign, there are four acts in Helmgart. The first three acts each have four missions while the last act only has one for a total of thirteen missions in the base game. Getting through each map only once should take around 11 hours. Of course, this process will be much faster when using one of the best classes available.
DLC has been a huge part of the game's marketing strategy. There is now more content from the extras than the base game itself; almost three times as much, in fact. There are several campaigns to play through and some of the maps are long enough to satisfy an entire gaming session. Players who have all of the content the game has to offer can expect 30 hours unless they're using a pro mod to make the game quicker.
Of course, because the maps are intended to be replayed, there are collectibles, achievements, and challenges for each one. Even the careers and characters themselves have checklists to knock out. For players that want an illustrious 100% completion, the process will take over 131 hours. That's not even including the weekly challenges and seasonal content which would be impossible to calculate. Suffice it to say that this can easily be a player's only game for a year and they'll have plenty to do before saying they've done it all.
Warhammer Vermintide 2 is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
