You escaped the horde in the elevator and went to another floor? You ran into the gateway and closed the door right under the enemy’s nose? Who cares? The heretics will “magically” find their way to you in no time!
That’s incredibly stupid.
Darktide is a hybrid horde game, the entire point is to fight the enemies.
Just play a different game at this point.
Who cares?
I mean, the team getting an uninterrupted moment to reload, reset cooldowns, recharge toughness, and/or deploy a medikit counts for a lot even if the enemies quickly catch up with you afterwards.
