Chaos shuffle January 2026

Hello everyone! I wanted to express my excitement about this iteration of Chaos Shuffle. What makes it even more enjoyable is the addition of a killer add-ons that is now shuffled in. The RNG has created a truly random and unpredictable experience, which I thoroughly enjoy. However, I must admit that with all four survivors spawning with pre-selected items, I would prefer if they removed this and replaced it with random items and add-ons for survivors as well. This change would further shake up the madness of the mode. These are my initial thoughts, and honestly, I wish this mode could be permanently implemented. How else are we feeling with this mode so far?

    Well there is random add-ons on the items but yeah they should make it random with possibility to not have an item too. In my opinion there should not be any add-ons that are excluded from the mode like they current one excluded a punch. Of course you can get a really bad combo but chaos is chaos sometimes you get bad combos.

    I think survivors can pick items because killers can choose the killer. And i really don't want random killers.

    Before we had killers just tunneling and slugging.

    Now they pick s-tiers just because they cant use addons anymore..

    I also want these Chaos Shuffle features into the base-game.

    I am crying at the feet of BHVR here, but they have yet to acknowledge this need from us.

    I still feel that’s super different either way it would be hilarious to queue up and all 4 survivors get broken keys and the killer gets all brown add-ons I just think they’re being too lenient with chaos shuffle they need to just let it go

    Another way I would combat this is everytime a generator/survivor is hooked everyone’s (yes including the killer) gets shuffled perks hehehe

    As much as I was excited for killer random add ons, I feel like there was no true algorithm to make the add ons..work. For instance, with Myers, getting scratch mirror and then like an add on that associated with Evil Incarnate that you would never reach just made it an useless add on. Like if the game is going to give you Scratch Mirror, at least make it default to where you get the add on to make your stalker mode speed at 4.4 m/s (as it's really the only add on that works with Scratch Mirror). Playing Hillbilly with Counter-weight was PAINFUL. Played Huntress and got Iri Head and I wanted to cry. I was afraid to try anymore killers at that point. Or made it to where you could pre-select ONE add on so if you did want to play Scratch Mirror Myers that was your choosing, not the game choosing for you. Especially if you end up getting perks that don't work with it (like Starstruck for instance.. you have no terror radius). There are WAY to many add ons in the game that hinder killers and the fact that they were still available blew my mind.

    And I do agree, survivor items should have been completely random.
