They do if they are tracer rounds.
Technically they are visible, they are just too fast for the eye to track.

Vermintide is like a love letter to Fantasy. The weapons are all from old Fantasy units. The dialogue is full of little lore tidbits. The dwarf, for example, often speaks in Khazalid. So if you know the lore, you can appreciate what he says. Same for the wood elf.
Even the maps are well made. It slips my mind atm, but the one DLC in the vampire castle (Drachenfel?) has the feast table with the poisoned feasters.

Too bad no one plays it. I tried playing Vermintide and the lobby is dead. I had to uninstall it because some missions expect you to have 4 players to do stuff, and having to defend and carry those barrels around when dealing with a bunch of rats is an exercise in frustration.

Yep, can always find a game on PC. It’s far from dead so not sure what happened you.

From what I've seen, lots of people still play it. My friend who strictly plays 40k even picked it up a few weeks back. Vermintide 1 and 2 are also usually pretty cheap off Humblebundle, which can't hurt sales.

Yeah, for Vermintide 2, which I don't have. I do have Vermintide 1, which is pretty much dead.

176 players in 24 hours is terrible for a 4 player co-op game.

When a game gets to that point in its lifecycle, I have found success in searching out discord groups dedicated to setting up games. Tindalos (BFG:A devs) had a previous space game called Stellar Impact, which is amazing. However, it basically has no playerbase now. I still manage to get some games through discord though.

Oh is it? Balls

**Danny76**

Yeah I know right..

Well from the trailer.
Things had been showing both One and Series symbols when they were both. So can only assume.

First Microsoft Flight Sim, now this too..
They’re trying to force my hand here..

It might be easier if we knew what you had in your collection and same goes for your opponent, because of an insane amounts against enemies like Poxwalkers, Imperial Guardsmen and Ogryns. Furthermore, as Darktide is a visceral 4-player co-op action game it would be much more comfortable to play on a console. A really polished console experience that will use the Xbox Series S/X in the best possible way whenever it launches.
