The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

A great update! :D

As a killer I have to say I am enjoying this update very much. I still both win and lose but when I lose now I feel like it is not because I got outplayed. I am able to now play some of my other favorite killers like Slinger and Nemisis while still having fun. A great update! :D

    I would argue that Dead Hard actually requires skill to use now as in you have to actually dodge a hit rather than just burst to a pallet. Base BT is far from useless especially if working with a team. It gives you time to reposition. DS is ment to stop direct tunneling. If you have time to work on a gen or heal.. well then you aren't being tunneled, therefore you don't need it. I'm not saying there are not issues that could also improve survivors experience, but I am saying that a lot of negativity seems to be coming from the fact that survivors have not gotten use to the fact that the killers have a chance now. There is actual gameplay and back and forth.

    Sure, working with a team base BT works great, but most player base is solo players. DH was destroyed and only helps for half a second, the precision you need is ridiculous and just a little bit of latency screws you up, so no, it does not require skill, it requires luck. And DS with 3 second stun and useless after gates are powered, might as well just remove the perk.


    And killers have always had the most powerful perks so they have always had a chance, but now is just easy mode for them

    I will agree that solo q is a pain and not nearly as fun. Also I hear you on the dead hard reaction time and such. Especially with the animations it can be rough. But I still stand by my opinion that I like this update a a lot.

    Out of curiosity, would you rather have them roll back the update or improve upon it further?

    It's my opinion that we should balance games off the strongest and not the weakest. Solo q being the weakest and swf being the strongest as well as skilled killers vs weak killers. Unfortunately it can't go both ways unless there would be two separate game modes.
