Whether you're a new or returning player to Warhammer, brand new or a veteran, this guide can help you navigate the world of Scenarios in Return of Reckoning.

Joining a Scenario

Click the Scenario button on your Minimap to queue. This will glow once successful.

You can join a scenario at any level, including as a brand new character!

To queue for scenarios, look at your Mini Map, then click the Scenario queuer button at the top left.

From here, you can either queue for a specific scenario, or join in for all available scenarios. Once successfully in queue, you'll see a glowing aura behind the scenario button.

Scenario Rules

In every scenario, the first team to reach 500 points wins. Each Scenario can last up to 15 minutes.

Points are awarded for various objectives, and vary by scenario. Killing enemy players, capturing control points, running flags, and holding special items are all examples of mechanics you'll encounter in Scenarios.

Once the scenario is over, you'll receive bonus Experience, Renown, and War Crests based on your team's score. The higher your score, the bigger the bonus!

Scenario Tiers

Scenarios are divided by Tiers in order to balance the playing field of your opponents. Those tiers are:

You can join scenarios solo, or with friends in premade groups.
  • T1: Level 1-15
  • T2/3: Level 16-39
  • T4: Level 40+

Due to level variance, it's very natural to feel overwhelmed if facing an enemy team of much higher levels. This will improve as you rise the ranks, and is likewise balanced in part by an automatic bolster the server provides, which raises your level temporarily within the scenario.*

*Note: There is currently a bug that removes your bolster if you level up during a Scenario. This is being investigated by the team.

Performance Bonuses

The top players from each faction in a Scenario are also given Performance Bonuses.

By earning Top Damage, Healing, Protection, Death Blows, or Objective score, you can earn a bonus War Crest and bonus Renown. You can stack multiple performance bonuses by taking the top score for multiple categories.

War Crest Payout

The amount of War Crests you'll earn per scenario is tied directly to your team's Score, and the Tier you're playing in.

  • Each player will always receive at least 1 War Crest, and an additional War Crest for every 100 points earned.
  • Winning a Scenario will grant at least six War Crests to the victorious side, alongside any performance bonuses.
  • Winning in T2-3 will grant 8 War Crests to the winning side, and T4 will grant 10 War Crests for victory.


Scenario Populations

The maximum population for each scenario is different. A few cap at 6 players per team, most allow 12, and some go all the way to 18+.

Additionally, if players from one faction decline to enter a scenario and the population is stacked too heavily to one side, the scenario will automatically shut down due to imbalance after 60 seconds.

Joining or forming a Premade

While the system will attempt to balance parties, it's very likely you'll eventually be placed in scenarios with less-than-optimal team compositions, e.g.: no healer for your team.

One of the best ways to counter this is to form or join a premade party via the in-game LFG Channel. (By default, /5)

The most common party composition for premade teams is 2-2-2: 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 2 dps. However, you can adjust or change this however you'd like, and queue with a maximum of 6 people as a party.

As with any competitive game, coordination and teamwork go a long way towards securing victory!

Weekend Warfronts

Almost every weekend, players can take part in a special Weekend Warfront. These scenarios feature 50% bonus XP and Renown, and additional tasks listed in your Tome of Knowledge that will grant bonus rewards.

The bonus rewards granted for Weekend Warfronts include Renown Pots(Potion of Acclaim), War Crests, crafting items, and special limited-time Event Slot items that will grant your character additional stats.

Ranked Scenarios

Earn special Triumphant currencies by participating in Ranked Scenarios.

Players looking for more than just a casual dip into the arena can participate in Ranked Scenarios, which feature a unique ruleset and an exclusive currency and rewards. These are the only way to earn Triumphant Emblem and Triumphant Insiginias.

You can queue for Ranked Scenarios, see the top players, and view your progress towards rewards by clicking the small Ranked Leaderboard emblem on your screen.

  • Ranked Scenarios are always 6v6 matches.
  • To queue for a Ranked Scenario, you must be level 40, equipped with an average item level of 52, and have Talismans slotted into all available pieces of gear.
  • Player Kills are worth considerably more points in Ranked Scenarios, awarding 50 per kill.
  • If a team interacts, uninterrupted, on the flag in the middle for 60 seconds, they will automatically win the match. This can only be done if nobody is in combat.
  • Ranked Scenarios are not always available. When new Ranked Seasons begin, they will be listed in an update's Patch Notes.

General Scenario Tips

  • Communicate strategies or plans by using Scenario chat! You can type /sc to speak to your allied faction within a Scenario.
  • If a scenario is going very poorly, you can type .surrender in chat to prompt a Surrender Vote. If enough allies vote Yes, the scenario will automatically end and grant the other team 500 points.
  • When respawning in a scenario, it can take anywhere from 1 to 30 seconds to respawn at your warcamp. This will synchronize your respawn with other players, so be sure to push back into the fight as a group!
  • If holding a Flag, Bauble, or special object, you won't be able to mount while in scenarios. This is intentional.
  • You can see the current pick-up group scenario by typing .pug into the /say channel.
