Necromunda: Underhive Wars

Fighters from this sixth playable career have entered the underhive - ready to bolster the ganger forces of Houses Goliath, Orlock, Escher, Van Saar and Cawdor! Armed with devastating Shock Whips and Manglers, as well as the dreaded Voltaic Pistol and Needle guns (in both Pistol and Rifle variants), Servo-Techs are formidable foes capable of occupying both offensive and support roles on the battlefield. The signature Servo-skull that constantly hovers around these fighters plays a big part in their fighting capabilities, acting as a flying servitor that provides Servo-Techs with the ability to reach both friends and foes across different elevation levels, through impassable chasms, and even around walls - with some of its abilities using a special type of targeting (and aerial maneuverability) that can even bypass the need for direct line-of-sight! As well as shaking up existing crew synergies, battlefield tactics and strategies with their 21 brand new skills and 5 new weapons, these tech-savvy fighters also bring their host of new cosmetic options, further extending your ability to create a truly unique underhive fighting force! The addition of the Servo-Tech fighter career should come automatically with the new 1.4.4.2 patch, without the need for any manual operation on your part. Existing saves should be 100% compatible with today’s update, meaning you’ll be able to recruit Servo-Techs to any and all of your current Gangs, provided these still have free slots in their active or reserve crews. SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE EVENT SALE BEGINS TODAY Today’s fifth update and Servo-Tech release also coincide with the annual Skulls for the Skull Throne celebration. This week-long event has always heralded big discounts and new content drops for many titles of the Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 universes, and this year’s edition is no different. Starting today until June 10th, Necromunda: Underhive Wars’ base game will receive a 60% discount on Steam, with the Cawdor Gang and Van Saar Gang DLCs both also receiving their own price reductions. THANK YOU! This concludes today’s fifth major update, and we sincerely hope you’ll enjoy playing around with new Servo-Tech builds and Gang compositions! While this patch should install automatically as soon as you update your game, don’t hesitate to reach out to us via the game’s Steam or Focus Home Interactive Technical Forums should you experience any issue. As always, we would like to take a moment in order to express our heartfelt thanks to all community members for your time, continued support and interest in Necromunda: Underhive Wars. We wish you all a wonderful day, and we leave you with the complete 1.4.4.2 patch notes below. See you in the underhive!
