For Necromunda: Underhive Wars players, the goal is to make this a one stop shop for information on Necromunda Underhive Wars! This will be a work in progress over the next several weeks so please comment and provide feedback.

Note: This guide will contain substantial video elements as I am trying to grow my YouTube channel. I will provide some written commentary but please expect a heavy does of videos! Appreciate your support by subscribing if you find the content helpful.

Houses and Gangs of Necromunda

There are technically seven criminal houses of Necromunda:

Traits

When you create a new fighter you can select traits from each major group.

There are three major groups: Physical, Mental, and Martial each has multiple options within them that will impact your fighter and ultimately your play style with that fighter.

Physical

A) Resilient provides +3 toughness/max toughness
B) Athletic provides +3 strength/max strength
C) Healthy provides +1 agility/max agility, +1 strength/max strength, and +1 toughness/max toughness
D) Agile provides +3 agility/max agility

Necromunda: Underhive Wars A Ganger's Guide to the Underhive
As you can see each trait helps focus the fighter in different directions. For example, if you choose the Brawler class you’ll want to focus on melee combat and select athletic or resilient and observant and disciplined. Alternatively, if you select Deadeye you’ll want to focus on ranged combat and pick agile or resilient and clever and focused.

Story Line Campaign [SPOILER ALERT]

I highly recommend you start your Necromunda experience by playing through the story line campaign which will teach you the basics. The story is written by a gaming and Warhammer author, Andy Chambers and follows three gang leaders from each respective house available to play at launch.

WARNING: The following includes SPOILERS to the main story line!

Chapter 1 Hive Quake

In the first mission, we take control of two Escher fighters, Kyra (Saboteur) and Vex (Heavy) who are on their way to meet their gang leader Tessera (Deadeye). This mission shows us the introductory controls and movement and allows us to get our hands dirty by taking on two enemies.

Chapter 2 The Secret

In the second mission, Tessera and her gang are ambushed by Orlocks for some unknown reason. This mission allows us to take on the maximum of 5 gangers with different classes and a few new abilities. Be sure to use your Grapnel skill on Tessera to hook up to the enemies!

Chapter 3 A Dependable Agent

In the third mission we need to fortify our position against incoming Goliath gangers and lay traps and fortifications. Once we clear out the Goliath, we’re able to meet with DeVos who can guide us into the Underhive towards ArcheoTech, very valuable technology.

Chapter 4 Rowdy Bois

The fourth mission allows us to take control of a Goliath gang where we attack the Escher taking our revenge. In the attack we find DeVos who tells of of Tess’s plan and provides us info on a way to catch up to her.

Chapter 5 All AboardThe only way to catch up to Tess and her Escher is to take a train straight into the depths of the Underhive. To do so, we have to prove our worth in the Arena!

Chapter 6 Into the Fire

The sixth mission we’re back to playing as the Tess and her Escher and take on two rival gangs in order to establish a new Hideout in the Underhive.
