The Xbox Game Pass news came along with a bunch of other titles announced for Game Pass at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/06\/14\/xbox-bethesda-games-showcase-reaction-gamers-win-game-pass-starts-show-off\/\">E3 2021 Xbox and Bethesda Showcase<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Back 4 Blood crossplay<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Crossplay and cross-gen support are enabled<\/strong>, so players can experiment with others across platforms and generations.

For example, the trigger-happy Hoffman adds one Offensive Item slot and ups the team&rsquo;s ammo capacity. His special ability also allows him to replenish ammo with every kill. So his kit might benefit players with an aggressive playstyle.<\/p>\n<p>An Offensive Item slot is just one of the slots in your deck. Back 4 Blood uses &lsquo;decks&rsquo; in gameplay, which are the equivalent of loadouts and create-a-class features in other shooters. Deck Manager gives players the freedom to create custom decks or equip pre-made ones. Decks include weapons, equipment, and abilities that aid your character and allies throughout the game.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-qehpkTy-SU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>This isn&rsquo;t just about Cleaners, either. Players also take on the roles of the Ridden like the Retcher, a vomit-spitting mutant that blasts opponents from afar. Expect to switch between both kinds of roles as either Cleaner or Ridden. It <em>is<\/em> a humans versus zombies kind of multiplayer, so it makes sense to play both sides of the war.<\/p>\n<h2>Back 4 Blood multiplayer<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=smh5kZmvwIM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/06\/13\/new-back-4-blood-trailers-reveal-pvp-swarm-mode-playable-ridden\/\">Swarm mode<\/a> stands out as Back 4 Blood&rsquo;s main competitive mode and selling point. Turtle Rock Studios treated fans to a sneak peek at this gory, blood-pumping PvP mode at E3 2021. The 4v4 mode pits two teams against each other in best-of-three matches where <strong>squads swap between playing as Cleaners and the Ridden<\/strong>. Whoever stays alive playing the Cleaners the longest wins. Points tally up based on how long Cleaner teams stayed alive during Ridden attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Back 4 Blood features co-op multiplayer in addition to the PvP Swarm mode. It&rsquo;s unclear what the other competitive modes are if any.&nbsp;Unfortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/06\/18\/back-4-blood-always-online-solo-co-op\/\">Back 4 Blood doesn&rsquo;t have an offline mode<\/a>. That means no playing solo with AI teammates.
