Post-Game Statistics & Performance Analysis

Analyze your Post-Game Statistics in Warhammer: Vermintide 2. Understand performance data and refine builds for better hero progression and team play.

After each harrowing mission in Warhammer: Vermintide 2, the game presents a detailed Post-Game Summary screen. This invaluable tool is more than just a scoreboard; it's a critical resource for understanding your personal performance, identifying areas for improvement, and refining your build strategies. Mastering its interpretation is key to ascending the difficulty tiers and becoming a true hero of the End Times.

Accessing and Navigating the Summary

Upon completing a mission (or failing it, for that matter), you will automatically be taken to the Post-Game Summary. You can navigate between different tabs using the on-screen prompts (typically 'Q' and 'E' on PC, or shoulder buttons on a controller). The primary tabs are:

• Overview: A quick snapshot of key metrics.
• Damage Dealt: Detailed breakdown of damage sources.
• Damage Taken: Analysis of incoming damage.
• Special Kills: Tracking of elite and special enemy eliminations.
• Healing & Revives: Support statistics.
• Resources: Collection of items like Grimoires, Tomes, and pickups.

Understanding Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Each metric offers insights into your playstyle and effectiveness. Here's how to interpret them:

Damage Dealt

This tab is crucial for evaluating your offensive output. It breaks down damage by weapon, ability, and even specific enemy types. Look for:

• Total Damage: Your overall contribution to enemy health reduction. A low number might indicate a need for more aggressive play or a less effective build against the current enemy composition.
• Damage by Weapon: Compare your melee and ranged weapon performance. Are you relying too heavily on one? For example, if your Executioner Sword damage is high but your Handgun damage is low, consider practicing ranged accuracy or adjusting your ranged weapon choice.
• Damage by Ability: How much damage did your career skill contribute? For careers like Slayer Bardin or Pyromancer Sienna, this should be a significant portion.
• Elite/Special Damage: Essential for higher difficulties. If you're struggling with Chaos Warriors or Packmasters, this stat will highlight if your build is effectively dealing with them. A Waystalker Kerillian should aim for high special damage with her Longbow.

Actionable Strategy: If your damage numbers are consistently low, consider experimenting with different weapon combinations (e.g., swapping a Crowbill for a Greataxe on Bardin) or optimizing your talent choices for increased damage output, such as taking Smiter or Enhanced Power.

Damage Taken

This tab reveals how effectively you're avoiding or mitigating damage. It's often overlooked but vital for survival.

• Total Damage Taken: A high number here indicates poor positioning, ineffective blocking/dodging, or a lack of cleave to manage hordes.
• Damage by Source: Pay close attention to what's hitting you. Are you being overwhelmed by Skavenslaves, or are Stormvermin overheads consistently connecting? Damage from Globadiers or Warpfire Throwers suggests poor environmental awareness.
• Friendly Fire: While often unavoidable in chaotic fights, consistently high friendly fire indicates a need for better aim or awareness of teammates' positions, especially with area-of-effect weapons like Flame Staff or Gatling Gun.

Actionable Strategy: If you're taking too much damage, focus on improving your footwork and situational awareness. Practice dodging into and out of enemy attacks. Consider defensive talents like Barkskin or properties on your trinket such as Curse Resistance if you're frequently carrying Grimoires.

Special Kills

This metric highlights your team's and your individual effectiveness at eliminating dangerous elite and special enemies. These enemies often pose the greatest threat to a run.

• Total Special Kills: A good indicator of how well your team is managing threats. If specials are running rampant, this number will be low.
• Individual Special Kills: Are you pulling your weight in special clear? Certain careers excel here, like Bounty Hunter Kruber with his Volley Crossbow or Hunter Saltzpyre with a well-placed Repeater Handgun burst.

Actionable Strategy: If your special kill count is low, consider equipping weapons with good single-target damage or talents that boost ranged power. Communication with your team is also key to prioritizing targets.

Healing & Revives

For support-oriented careers or those who prioritize team cohesion, these stats are paramount.

• Healing Done: For careers like Warrior Priest Victor Saltzpyre or Unchained Sienna with healing talents, this should be high. It reflects your ability to keep the team alive.
• Revives: A high revive count can indicate a struggling team, but also a dedicated support player. However, consistently needing to revive suggests deeper issues with team survival.
• Temporary Health Gained: Important for understanding how well you're generating and utilizing temporary health, often through talents like Smiter or Swift Slaying.

Actionable Strategy: If playing a support role, ensure your healing talents are optimized (e.g., Natural Bond or Hand of Shallya). If you're frequently reviving, analyze why teammates are going down and adjust your positioning or threat management accordingly.

Resources

This tab simply shows what items were collected during the mission.

• Grimoires & Tomes: Essential for maximizing loot quality. Always aim to collect all of them.
• Healing & Ammo Pickups: Indicates resource management. If you're constantly running out of ammo or healing, you might need to adjust your playstyle or build.

Actionable Strategy: For higher difficulties, memorizing Grimoire and Tome locations on maps like Horn of Magnus or Against the Grain is crucial. Utilize our Maps section for detailed layouts.

Team Performance vs. Individual Performance

Remember that Vermintide 2 is a cooperative game. While individual stats are important, they should always be viewed in the context of team performance. A player with lower damage but excellent special clear and minimal damage taken might be more valuable than a high-damage player who constantly goes down.

Pro Tip: Don't just glance at the numbers. Take a moment after each run, especially failed ones, to critically analyze your performance and discuss with your team. This iterative process of play, analyze, and adjust is how you truly improve in the treacherous lands of Vermintide 2.
