Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

So where is our official response regarding turning bots off for 2v8? I'd like to play the mode.

Please and thanks, turn off the bots, ASAP.

    I really do hope they address it or at least mention it. There are too many problems with the bots at the moment that it's making the game unfun for both sides.

    The bots are more useful than some of the actual braindead survivors i've been getting in my matches. So i'd rather they stay to relieve queue times.

    As they mentioned already - the small repeating player feedback here is saying "No more bots" but on the various social media platforms people are actually okay with the bots.

    I personally do not mind them. Just my opinion. Most lobbies I have been in, there was only 1 and he sat on gens, so in my experience I have no distain.

    The bots are only added in the 2v8 mode, not the main game. You will get bots in the main game ONLY if your teammates give up for some reason. You can choose not to play the 2v8.

    Idk if you've ever tried to play 1v4 while 2v8 is going on, but it's more miserable than usual. There are longer queues all around because many people (especially a lot of casual players) play 2v8, and so the only people left in 1v4 queues at my mmr are legit sweat lords. The occasional sweaty game is fine, but it's not very fun if it's nearly every game (as it is when 2v8 is going on).

    Oof. Yeah, I am terrible at this game so I am always in casual matches. Lot of giveups/dcs/trolling. Never a dull match though! I still enjoy playing. I saw a video about the skill caps in DBD and you are either really good at DBD or really terrible it basically said. I am on the terrible end. I have played this game for years and none of my friends play it anymore, so I am in solo que all the time. I would think the competitive players wouldn't even bother with 2v8 as it is a total meme game mode.

    Following the hotfix, no official statement, bugs are rampant and bots are still forced, nothing on the forums stating about any of this, as far as I can see?? Why the raido silence.

    It was such a non issue, they rushed a hotfix out to stop people dodging to get 2v7's and 2v8's.

    Are you serious??? So now we cant even get 8 man lobbies period? So you do want to mess around your solo/duo/trio queuers in this mode, you literally do not care about the survivor experience

    Behaviour sort it out, this is actually upsetting because I was really looking forward to this

    What a joke.

    The queues are just as bad as before. The bots made 0 difference. They should just turn them off as no one likes them.
