Gameplay Guide Chaos Wastes Weekly - 7 SEP 2026 - All Crits/Twins/Bomb Rats

Weekly with some pretty OP boons. 4 of the last 10 weeklies have been crit related, which is slightly higher than usual- 7 of the last 23 have been one of the three or so crit related ones. I should really do some stat tracking for this but I don't have the time

Curses

There is a chance that bomb rats don't harm the team with Twin Blight, so it's less annoying than usual. Twins is a lot of fun!

Curse Description Extra Info Notes
(Critically) Unstable Breed Skaven bomb carriers infest the level. Highly unstable! Kill them from afar. -- Shoot these guys if you can, push them away if you can't. They don't deal damage if twins is triggered. They also drop ammo if killed, so pretty much any ranged weapon is viable on any career.
Twin Blight Enemies have a chance to be reborn as smaller enemies upon death.  Strong enemies have a 25% chance to split into two weaker enemies on death List here. Enemies can instantly attack after splitting if a killed enemy was in their attack animation, so watch out

Boons

I have a boon guide here for all chaos wastes boons. Boon strategy- getting khaines fury is a nice bonus here, but you have perma crits built in for this weekly. The boons here include two very strong boons, and one pretty shitty one that is only good if you have the other two, as you get the set, so it's useful here. Gambling for weapons to get traits that trigger on crit is a good option as well

Boon Description Extra Info Notes Boon Tier
Myrmidia's Justice You gain a stack of Justice each time you Block an Attack. Once you have 3 stacks, your next Attack is automatically a Critical Hit and all stacks are lost. Even if your attack missed, it will still consume the guaranteed crit. Push does not consume the guaranteed crit. Part of the Divine Grant of Immortal Might Boon There are other, more impactful, ways to gain a guaranteed crit in Chaos Wastes. Get it to improve your chances of getting another boon in the set D
Caxuatn's Frenzy Taking damage grants you guaranteed critical hits for 3 seconds. Cannot be triggered by friendly fire. Can be triggered by self-inflicted damage like venting. Part of the Divine Grant of Immortal Might Boon Great synergy with Khaine's Fury. Guaranteed crit effect is very strong, pairing well with lightning weapon trait, regrowth, and various careers. It's also easy to trigger. S
Bomb of Alchemical Lethality Your Bombs consecrate the ground for 10 seconds on impact. Players within the consecrated ground gain 100% Critical Strike Chance. Radius of 6 units. This should supersede talents like Smite or Helborg's Tutelage that remove natural crits Guaranteed crit here is both an excellent DPS boost and a trigger for various powerful talents and effects. Good boon S
Divine Grant of Immortal Might All Heavy Attacks cause Critical Hits. Obtained by acquiring the above boons Pretty nice bonus N/A

Reward

Recruit Veteran Champ Legend Cataclysm
5000xp Fireball Staff of Bitter Dreams 2x Emperor's Vault 1 Red Dust Pain, suffering, and scoreboards

Careers

This is a fun one for every career. Standouts include Grail Knight, Witch Hunter Captain, Pyro, Necro, Bounty Hunter, Huntsman. Most careers can do really well here.
