Warhammer: Vermintide's Dwarf Ranger lives up to all the stereotypes

Bardin *re-checks spelling* Goreksson is Warhammer: Vermintide's dwarf character, which means he has a big beard, loves a drink, and almost exclusively wields Dwarven weapons like axes, hammers and I guess crossbows. Here's Fatshark relaying *re-rechecks spelling* Bardin Goreksson's rich backstory, and also which armaments he prefers to use. I like the sound of the Grudge-Raker gun, which "erupts a hail of shot, capable of blasting numerous enemies at close range".

Tom loves exploring in games, whether it’s going the wrong way in a platformer or burgling an apartment in Deus Ex. His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet. Tom has been writing about free games for PC Gamer since 2012. If he were packing for a desert island, he’d take his giant Columbo boxset and a laptop stuffed with PuzzleScript games.
