Would a PVE gamemode be possible?

Over the last few years BHVR has been experimenting with limited time game modes, some have been a success in terms of popularity like 2v8 or spices up the gameplay like Chaos Shuffle. PVE in DBD is tricky to say the least, would this be killer vs killer? Survivor vs Survivor vs Killer? It would be a interesting experiment, but i'm not sure if it would be a succesful in terms of gameplay and figuring out how survivor facing other survivors would play out. If BHVR were to experiment with a PVE type gamemode would you be up to try it or should BHVR just stick to PVP gamemodes?

    Pve means players vs environment, so like players vs bots.

    An example of a pve mode would be like 4 killers queing up to kill a whole horde of bots or 4 survivors quing up to try and sneak through gauntlet style maps trying to evade bot killers to escape. Its usualy against a computer of some kind.

    Left 4 dead's main gameplay was pve as a combination of these 2 things^ while it also had a pvp mode where the players could also be the opposing special infected in place of the bots.

    The community made killer has some kinda obstacle course where the survivors get sent to another area and have to collect things while avoiding beams of light. Since they arent against a player in there its kinda pve.

    I always thought that 2v8 should be a PvE-mode. Obviously with better Bots so that it is not too easy and boring for the Killer players, but it would solve the queue time issue, because players could actually play together without having to wait minutes to get into a game.

    Right you described wanting PvPvP when PvE is just players against bots

    I'd like to see a 4v16 mode with the whole Legion gang.

    Obviously it would have to be against 16 Survivor bots, because there's not enough BP or Iri shards in the Entity's realm to bribe Survivor players to play against 4 Legions. Not sure exactly how it might work, but I think it could be fun.

    I wouldn't mind going against Killer bots. There's a lot of Killers I struggle against, but have no reliable way to practice against them. I'd just have to rely on random encounters and then fail hard again and not really learn anything…
