Finding who to play as may be difficult and might leave some players with second thoughts, so how can they switch characters?

Once a match has started, players cannot select another character to play until they return to the main menu and start another game. There is one exception to this rule, however:

Back 4 Blood is available now for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
