Rasknitt & Bodvarr Ribspreader (Skittergate)

This guide provides information on Rasknitt & Bodvarr Ribspreader in Warhammer: Vermintide 2, detailing their weaknesses, phases, and strategies for defeating them in the Skittergate mission.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Rasknitt is a Skaven Blightlord. Bodvarr Ribspreader is a Chaos Warrior.
• Both bosses have distinct attack patterns and weaknesses that can be exploited.
• Specific weaknesses will be detailed in the phases below.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Rasknitt Alone
   Rasknitt will initially engage the players alone. He is agile and uses a variety of melee attacks and ranged warpstone projectiles. Focus fire on Rasknitt, utilizing any crowd control abilities to interrupt his attacks.
2. Phase 2: Bodvarr Joins
   Bodvarr Ribspreader will join the fight. He is a heavily armored brute with powerful melee attacks. Players must now manage two distinct threats. It is often advisable to split focus or prioritize eliminating one boss before the other, depending on team composition and positioning.
3. Phase 3: Combined Assault
   Both bosses will be active, potentially coordinating attacks. Rasknitt may use his abilities to support Bodvarr, such as blinding players or creating distance. Players need to maintain high awareness and coordinate damage output to overcome this final phase.

Strategy:

• Positioning is Key: Utilize the environment to your advantage. Try to separate the bosses if possible, or use choke points to control their approach.
• Target Prioritization: Depending on your team's strengths, you may want to focus down Rasknitt first due to his mobility and ranged attacks, or Bodvarr for his raw damage output.
• Ranged vs. Melee: Rasknitt is more vulnerable to ranged attacks, while Bodvarr can be kited and managed by skilled melee players.
• Utilize Special Abilities: Coordinate the use of ultimate abilities and powerful career skills to maximize damage during opportune moments.
• Stay Together (Mostly): While splitting focus can be effective, do not stray too far from your team, as this can make you vulnerable to being overwhelmed by either boss or their accompanying horde.
• Watch for Environmental Hazards: The Skittergate map has various environmental hazards that can be used against the bosses or can harm the players if not avoided.
