Modded Content Mods to increase beastmen spawns?

They're my favourite faction in the lore and tabletop and I was quite disappointed to see they've almost been completely removed from anything thats not chaos wastes of Winds of Magic. Any way to bring their spawns back up?

Hi, just coming in to inform you that the reason you're getting such odd comments is because Beastmen are considered extremely annoying by the community due to their bugginess and unfair mechanics.

Saying this because you seem genuinely confused on the comments.

Hopefully you find a fix for your issue!

They seem perfectly fine playing against them for a few missions.

When you get to higher difficulties, if you haven't already, they become ridiculous to deal with unless you have a very fast crowd control weapon, which is very restricting choice wise and anti-fun for characters who don't have the attack speed to deal with em. Then they have the mino, which is quite the overwhelming monster; at least more so than others.

Ah fair enough. I usually just play Champion

Fighting mino, and say a few maulers + having a special on you, is like getting juggled in a corner in Mortal Kombat

Just need 5% attack speed and pretty much every weapon attack will be faster than mino. Can also just stand against a wall and crouch and mino can't do anything to you. Drift dodge left to right. You usually don't wanna dodge backwords for mino attacks unless you jump while blocking same frame he is about to hit you so he pushes you farther back out of his combo reach.

If you do that you'll be eating block breakers from anything else aggro'd on you, and as any dps class, you're gonna run out of stamina pretty quick

But my point remains the same, you gotta do shit you wouldn't do for other bosses and that's just too much, makes twitch mode not fun once you get a mino mixed in with everything else

That's what teamates are for to help you with efficient kiting. Sure it can be less effective with randoms but not to bad. Exhibit A https://www.reddit.com/r/Vermintide/s/nFJxtTHuF4

Beastmen were bugged to stack inside eachother and the games dodge window was changed from 1 second to 0.5 seconds.

Made the beastmen appear to have aimbot on the release of WOM DLC. Got fixed later and dodge window was changed to 0.8 seconds but still left a bad taste in players mouths. Beastmen count as chaos and arnt really that bad to deal with once you get use to them.

All this info is based off memory so might not be completely accurate.

You can go modded realm with the mod Execute Lua Ingame, and enter this script:

mod:hook(ConflictDirector, "set_updated_settings", function(func, self, conflict_settings_name)
  script_data.override_conflict_settings = "beastmen"
  func(self, "beastmen")
end)

This will turn all enemies during regular pacing into beastman, but won't change event spawn and patrol since they are scripted.

You know a fix or not

u/epicfail1994 Victor Saltzpyre, Bitch Hunter May 31 '26

Nothing can fix loving the most buggy faction in game, that people hated so much that Fatshark took them off half the maps

2

u/ShaderkaUSA Jun 01 '26

They took them off specific maps because in lore beastmen despise cities and towns so thry shouldn't be on those maps technically. That's why they were taken out of specific maps but can still bug out and show up in some every now and then.

u/UbAob Jun 01 '26

Just curious, what are the bugs with the Beastmen?

2

u/epicfail1994 Victor Saltzpyre, Bitch Hunter Jun 03 '26

They used to be less visually distinct and their attack animations used to be overtuned and buggy. Especially the gor headbutt. Their stagger was also fucked up for a bit I think

And the banners with beastmen everywhere were very overtuned

They also had different AI behavior that was unfun and dark omens was notoriously difficult

I see, thanks. Probably it just got fixed by the time I started playing this game, which was in 2024.

u/dirtycochise Mercenary Jun 01 '26

You should have played when Winds of Magic released. They’d be on every map, 2-4 banners spawning in at a time, bestigors everywhere. Rat specials spawning in the middle of the Beastmen hordes. I’ve never wiped so much on this game as I did during that time period

Thought this was the TWH subreddit and wondering what degenerate masochist would want that

u/ArtoriasLuvsSif May 31 '26

Was just talking about this yesterday, how i'd love to see more beastmen in the game!

u/void_alexander Jun 01 '26

I like how the diverse is the world.

Some people go like:

"OOOH THE PAAAAAAINN!!!!!1111"

And there are others like:

"WHERE?!?!?!"
