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.

Why is chaos shuffle returning so soon?

In the road map on april 26th - may 5th it says there will be chaos shuffle again shouldn't it be lights out considering the rotation previously? Or at the very least it should be 2v8…

    They arent even trying at this point because they are focused on the QoL updates - you know, those things they announced then didnt even release this patch - and FNAF because they really cannot mess that chapter up.

    lights out was really poorly received. Chaos shuffle seems to be the most well received and actually seems to offer some balance to the game right now with minimal effort on BHvRs part so it wouldn’t surprise me if it came back sooner rather than later.

    Maybe it's because the majority find this mode better than 2v8. I don't know 🤷‍♂️

    I want Lights Out 2.0 back. I loved the candelabras.

    I think generally speaking Lights Out just isn't that popular, and they probably want to tweak 2v8 again before the next iteration. Chaos Shuffle is just easier to implement, I think.

    Echoing others.

    Lights Out hasn't been too well received from what has been said. I suspect it will come back at some point, but probably not going to be a normal rotation element. They might be cutting their losses on the idea of spending anymore time developing this mode.

    2v8 needs work between each version.

    Chaos Mode can be thrown in with ease. It doesn't take anymore work, it doesn't seem to destabilize the normal queues, and the people who like it don't seem like they are getting bored with it.

    Because it's fun, popular amongst the playerbase, and easy to put in the game since unlike 2v8 there isn't individual balancing changes for it and it doesn't make the queue times a nightmare either.

    Lights Out was mostly unpopular and I wouldn't be surprised if it never comes back, they tried it twice already.

    Guess you didn't bother to read the patch notes, then.

    Also, those QoL updates were never meant to be added in a single patch. They are going to be added in phses throughout the entire year.

    I'm really tired of Chaos Shuffle as a filler mode. Fix the issues with it instead of slapping us with it again, and bring back Lights Out with some light improvements more, the 2.0 version of that was actually pretty damn good both sides the second time around.

    FFS I don't even want to play Chaos Shuffle anymore and I used to love the mode, it just feels like everyone figured out how to sweat in it so it's not random, and now nobody has any fun in it.

    Chaos shuffle truly is the most loved and hated all at once…

    I actually really liked the Candelabras they added in Lights Out 2.0 and want to see it expanded on more. It was fun doing Wolf-only Drac and Dredge was pretty fun and true master of darkness in that mode too. I also guess getting another My Little Oni event or something similar may be off the table?

    I just really liked using Stealth Killers to spook the ######### out of Survivors in it. I also liked being Nemesis and coming barrelling out of the dark. I like how it made every Killer genuinely frightening to face, I want to see it more.

    I enjoyed the first Lights Out iteration, but not the second. The candelabras ruined it. I hated that you couldn't find anything useful in the chests because you'd just find a candelabra instead. And holding them only made you a shining beacon for the Killer to chase. The only real use I found for them was to set them down by the exit gates.

    One change I would suggest is, instead of putting the candelabras in chests, have them respawn on the map, like the Bone Chill snowmen or something…

    Chaos Shuffle should just be a option you can pick in the main game at this point
