Identity V, the "mobile dbd", has released a 8vs2 game mode recently, and as dbd devs are helping make the game, may we see one some day in dbd? It would be awesome, a huge map, 10 gens and 2 killers that could work together to get the 8 survivors running around. If a mobile game can make it work surely dbd can.

    I hope that's soon really changes dynamics of tswf I mean ho can ya spam light a killer when another smacks you all and guards there teammate or have 2 separate teams that cannot help each other until 6 are dead or using offerings for it same for killers unless a offering to help a killer is used

    This would be brilliant it would make the game interesting. Two killers two exit gates one killer at each gate with noed tier 3 as well as bith having blood warden tier 3.

    I think you guys are underestimating the potential of two killers.

    You could have 1 killer run all hunting perks and have another person running basement perks. This would mean that while the Nurse or Huntress is on the prowl the basement killer would guard the basement. Then, after a chase is won they temporarily switch so that the basement build killer can collect the latest catch.

    You could have the killers do direct co-op so when you hear the heartbeat two killers start chasing you at once. If you try and loop you'll run into the second killer. Imagine the madness of having to dodge a blinking Nurse and hunting hatchest at the same time.

    On maps like Azarov's resting place, the killers could split up with the middle of the map being the survivors' only sanctuary. Or both killers could stay on one side and destroy everyone who stayed.

    Some of the meta combos would be:
    Nurse + (Literally any other killer [Doctor Especially])

    • The other killer scouts and upon finding a survivor would signal the Nurse to begin the attack.
      Leatherface + Hag (or Trapper + Hag)

    • Each hook would become a prison and the basement would become Alcatraz.
      Trapper + Huntress

    • If you get trapped the Huntress will down you via hatchet, this gives you less time to escape. If all of the traps get destroyed he can help the Huntress by herding you towards her.

    I'll be honest, I want this game mode implemented as soon as the developers have some time to spare the resources.

    They could maybe tie it into the lore somehow maybe.. like take a full map of coldwind or whatever map and then add half of a autohavens map. Imagine being on The Meat Plant and one of the exit gates is open and goes into a macmillan's estate how dope would that be?.. 2 realms then intertwine... this will breathe fresh air and open the ideas of new perks etc... I do not understand why they wouldnt wanna do this... come on I wanna see Zubat and Scott play and I wanna team up with my friends as well and take on 8 people.. maybe make it a vs mode as well idk

    Or have 2 maps and 2 killers  plus 8 survivors (or 4 to make it harder lol) andthe survivors can choose one of the gates except one leads straight into another map with a second killer after they have just beat one killer. They don't know which gate leads to safety or which leads to hell. No turning back either.

    Lol my thoughts exactly, shouldn’t we be more worried about fixing what’s already there?

    why the hell do any of you want this on a game thats P2P, and already has major balancing issues? Then you will get 2 killers, each one with a specific set of meta perks which will cause even more unbalancing. The amount of lag alone will be staggering. I would never touch that mode unless it was hosted on VAC secured servers.

    Then, to top it off Maps would need to be completely remade. Can we please worry about what we have first..

    Probably not, since they never really showed interest on implementing it, but hey we can hope.

    FFS "maps need to be remade... need dedicated servers blah blah blah" no they already the maps... the idea is KISS ----> Keep It Simple Stupid.... to simply expand the map by placing say rotten fields and rancid arbitour next to each open an exit gate allowing players to play on both... maybe decrease the size of 1 of them... and either way this has been a request for a long time.. since SWF started and the devs should know what sort of player base increase KWF (kill with friends) would do for their game..how long has this game been buggy for? And it doesnt matter what they do the game will always be buggy.. dark souls games are always buggy as well...

    And if you dont think long time requests are eventually answered and given please see "The Clown" and Kate

    They will have dedicated servers soon then they will add more complex game modes. I absolutely guarantee that.

    I feel like 8 is a little too much for the killers. Maybe 6 vs 2 or even 8 vs 3

    There would have to be balancing. Have 3 exits, 10 gens ect. Obviously these kind of problems wouldn't exist.

    I feel the strongest combo would be like 2 hillbillies or Billy nurse. With perks only the killer using it has the affect. Example would be ruin. 4 out of the 8 would be affected by 1 ruin. Both killers would need to take ruin then. Also aura perks would only show auras to the killer using it. I think this should come with voice coms in game. Survivors should only be able to be heard by survivors in a range while killers (telepathically with the help of the entity) can communicate no matter where they are.

    Wraith face. Leatherface hunts and brings survivors to the basement, invisible, wraith guards the stairs. Survivor goes for the save, wraith body blocks steps, keeps them trapped until leatherface comes and mows them down.

    Due to a survivor being able to easily get owned by both killers in one chase has me thinking, in this mode only, should survivors have 3 hp? 4 is ridiculous. But 3? Chainsaws and the exposed status would still cause insta downs.

    Imaging getting a reverse bear trap put on you 8 times with 8 boxes.... lmao

    Idk if they can actually balance 8v2 with the current map sizes plus some killer combos would be ridiculous O.O

    I know they are working on other game modes, but I think most of them should require Dedicated servers before they release anything.
