Left 4 Dead meets Chivalry: Medieval Warfare in Friday's upcoming release Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide. The volume of reviewers partaking in the Beta (which started last Friday) are saying good things overall, and if you want to join the chorus, pre-ordering currently grants you instant beta access.
The cheapest pre-order destination for the PC is at GMG, where a 10% instant savings discount meets a 25% off coupon making an impressive double discount to 32% off in total. The same discount strategy applies to the higher priced Digital Collector's Edition as well.
- Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide + Beta Access — $20.25
- Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide Collector's Edition + Beta Access — $30.37
- Use Coupon: GMGMID-SEASON-25PERC
Caveat Note on this Vermintide deal is that GMG's coupon will run through next week Tuesday, October 27th, at 8am Pacific but the 10% instant savings is only valid while Vermintide is in pre-order status and will end once the game is launched this Friday, October 23rd. So to get it at 32% off in the near future, the next few days is probably your last chance.
After pre-ordering from GMG, you should receive a beta key to plug into Steam instantly. As you near the release, GMG will also send out subsequent key for the full game.
What's in the Collector's Edition?
Is the Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide Collector's Edition worth it? This is essentially for the die-hard Warhammer fan and little else. Ontop of the regular game you'll get these digital bonuses:
- High resolution Ubersreik Map
- Vermintide Wallpapers
- A "Behind the Scenes Pack" (concepts and footage of development)
- Soundtrack
- Unique Headpiece "Candlelight Guard"
- Unique Headpiece "Hat of Purifying Light"
- Unique Headpiece "Tal Amere Crown"
- Unique Headpiece "Ironside Helmet"
- Two more unique trinkets
If you're not in the mood for these in-game items (which doesn't really sound all that impressive), or into the concept/lore/footage of development, saving $10 seems like a good idea.
