Back 4 Blood has a total of 8 characters that you can choose, swap and change in-game. There are a few conditons, restrictions and perks attached to playing each character in B4B. In this guide, we’ll walk through how you can select and change characters in Back 4 Blood.
You can change your character by selecting one from the main menu when you’re starting a new game in Back 4 Blood. You can do this for all game modes. At Fort Hope you can just instantly hit the menu, click on the “character select” option then choose among the 8 characters available. Each character has their own unique advantage as well as a team effect. Additionally, the characteristic weapon is unique to each character as well.
You can’t switch characters once you lock in on one at the start of the match. There is however a loophole that you can look to use. If you happen to join a match that’s currently in progress, you can wait until the zones have cleared and the round has ended. Once this happens, you can switch your character from the menu. We reiterate that this isn’t possible until after the round ends and if you’ve locked in a character right at the start of the match.
This is an answer that’s totally dependent on your playing style, your team, your card deck as well as other factors. As of now, there is no “single best character” in-game as the characters are fairly and evenly matched.
