In Left 4 Dead 2, you can choose to “take a break” if you need to go AFK for a little bit and let a bot take over for you. Considering how the bots in Vermintide are leagues better than the bots in Darktide, I think this’d be nice to have in the pause menu.
That would be much better than just left the chat window open to hold the block. Yes. Great idea!
@CobaltNinja I want to pee sometimes in middle of a mission.
