Editing Vermintide 2 (section)

== Gameplay Tips (aka How To Avoid Dying Like An Asshole) ==

1. Don't be That Guy who wanders off alone and dies due to getting incapacitated due to the half-dozen or so methods an enemy can do such a thing.  I don't care how badass you think you are, nothing actually makes you immune to being pounced by a Gutter Runner, hooked by a Packmaster, yote by a Blightstormer, et cetera.  Seriously, wandering off alone is one of the certain ways you can get kicked from a match, along with going AFK during horde or boss attacks.

2. If someone starts grabbing Tomes and Grimoires, fucking follow them and hope they know where to show you where the others are.  Because if you are not grabbing them, you're not optimizing your loot and XP gain, thus you are shit and should uninstall this game (and/or kill  yourself). Or don't, whatever, I'm not [[Asmodai]]. 

3. If you play Sienna and overheat more than twice in a match, don't be butthurt when you get kicked.  Learn to manage your overheat, or learn to play anything else.  (Same goes for playing an Ironbreaker with drakefire guns.)

4. The game is actually really great about audio clues for your enemies; if you hear something suspicious, start looking around for the source of the sound.  Nine times out of ten, you can spot a Gutter Runner or other special enemy fast enough to kill it.  The other tenth time?  Hope your buddies didn't rush forward and leave you for dead.

5. Consider taking weapons with Shield Breaking and/or Armor Piercing if you're consistently getting fucked up by the heavier enemies.  Instead of having to charge up a heavy attack, you just make regular attacks as fast as you can and watch enemies like Stormvermin and Chaos Warriors get fucked up.

6. Mix in side-dodges and pushes with your melee swings in order to defend yourself. The different weapons each have optimal attack/push/dodge patterns unique to them. Learn yours. Blind offense is a good way to get yourself killed by stray hits from trash mobs. Side-dodging repeatedly also has the benefit of helping you not get surrounded as the hordes have to relocate to you.

8. Trying to outrace other players for DPS is only going to get everyone killed, which means nobody gets loot and very little XP.  Don't be that asshole who tries to "prove" something to the others by trying to outperform them. The only stat that matters is how much damage you took. Kills will happen eventually. Focus on keeping yourself alive and healthy first and foremost.

9. This is a fucking co-op game.  Heal other people, leave stuff they need behind, try to watch their backs.  If you can't handle this concept, then you really need to try a different game; "lone wolf" types are wasting both their time and everyone else's.

10. When the coast isn't clear, don't make forward progress in the map. You don't want to trigger a boss fight while knee deep in a horde. While dealing with shit and you have to move around, go backwards, not forwards.

11. Don't be afraid to use those bombs and potions the moment things are beginning to look dicey. One thing (horde, patrol, special) can be handled without too much trouble, but the multiples are what kills teams. Also, Strength potions oddly enough do affect ranged weapons and bombs.

12. Dash abilities (such as Foot Knight's or Zealot's abilities) can be canceled part of the way by blocking, allowing you to gain value from them while not charging away from your group if you're already with them.

13. You can block-cancel other things too, depending on your weapon. Attacks, pushes and other actions can be stopped with a block either for defense or speeding up your combos.
