The idea is that a chat command lets you change your loadout to the one you have selected in the menu at any time in a round rather than having to be in spawn/resupply area. This would be limited to only ~2 uses per round so it isn't abused. I would imagine this chat command as "!zload" or "!zloadout", and would appear in the /zmenu command.

Being able to switch loadout mid-round would:
  • Spice up gameplay for regulars so they can play with more options rather than waiting for a new round to start
  • Discover new strategies to make things more interesting
  • Give more room for new players to learn weapons and strategies
  • Fix any issue players have with being the wrong loadout after starting a round (which happens often)
I've been seeing the human side struggle to beat maps for a while, and I think a buff like this would help without being a direct handicap that makes things less challenging. While this would make things easier for humans, it wouldn't disrupt zombie gameplay as they still are fighting the same weapons.

PS: Make the /zmenu command also appear in chat with the usual Skial ads like the fake Skial servers message so these features aren't entirely unnoticed. Could also include /ze_map_debug_hp and /ze_map_pickups in there.

+1 would also be a nice quality of life change if it was added to other custom gamemodes as well, dr could greatly benefit from the ability to change loadouts if you say accidentally used a normal casual loadout/mvm loadout instead of the dr meta loadout.
 
-1 Honestly don't understand the desire to buff humans further. They already win on normal when (less than) 1/3rd actually try to defend.

If casual mode didn't exist or if this was to completely replace it, then I'd be in favor.
