With the help of a bot, there is a growing number of players in Mordhau who are ignoring the battle to play music to their allies and enemies. It's a dangerous pastime though, with players often just killing the musicians rather than listen to them rock out on the lute.

Mordhau is the latest indie game to race up the Steam charts. It's a medieval team deathmatch game that has two teams carving each other up with swords, axes, and crossbows. Part of the game's charm is its janky physics, that see dead bodies ragdoll through the air, and talented (or lucky) players able to knock projectiles out of the air.
