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

I don't like the Shadowborn rework, here's my idea

You have a keen vision in the darkness of the night.

Survivors 12/16/20 metres within your radius are marked in a white outline within your line of sight.

Trumps the ability to read auras.


The white aura is basically the same as Myers/Ghostface's white outline for survivors when stalking. Or a simpler example: the outline that appears on survivors during Dredge's Nightfall.

The idea of this buff is to make it an alternative choice of a perk to run rather than an aura perk. Stealth is still an option for survivors, just not as easy.

The new Shadowborn is just a basic Haste perk that's exclusively activated by flashlights, firecrackers, flashbangs, and perks that blind you. It's just not well-thought out compared to the old Shadowborn which actually lived up to its perk title and description rather than being Lightborn 2. The goal of this version is to try and not only be a unique and useful perk, but to actually introduce a new alternative for aura perks.

    I prefer the rework devs came up with tbh but i liked this idea before that.

    Killers need more options against blinding right now so making shadowborn an alternate version of lightborn actually makes a lot of sense, i could see it having a decent amount of use.
