There's vivid discussions about new game modes that, imho, could all work well in dbd. So, which of these ideas (I'll link back to the threads if there's one on here later) would you really love to see:

  1. Murder Mystery (link)
  2. 2 vs 8
  3. games where the gens are not the main objective (like having to get all totems first before you can do gens e.g.)

    This sounds awesome! I'd like that and would also like 2v8 mode.

    Having different objectives randomly chosen at the start of each match would be very interesting, and add a whole new layer of randomness, but the game is centered entirely around generators. Almost every single perk, map and killer would have to be changed to make it fair, so it probably won’t happen...

    2v8 sounds like fun.

    I would like the Murder Mystery one, but how would BVR make that happen?

    More of a combo. 2 killers, 10 survivors split into 2 teams, 7 gens specific to each team (untouchable by the others), no hooks. Survivor goal, beat the other team out of the gate. Killer goal, slaughter and extend the match as long as possible for max points.

    • Killers slug everyone. Teammates heal them up to keep max gen progress. Can’t heal survivors on opposing team
    • If everyone on a team is slugged (huge points for killers if this happens btw), they all simultaneously pop up injured after 15 seconds.
    • Huge maps, like 2 current ones stitched together.
    • All members of one team must leave before all members of the other to get max escape points. Oh, and team-specific gates.
    • Unique perks and tools for dirty fighting / sabotage between teams.

    I read that while having the 'bored' scene from Cabin Pressure running... and now I kinda image one killer nagging the survivors for just how long things take <3

    Mhnn.... how about a 'rematch' mode with this? Especially for occasions where someone complains that the other side ran OoO/Noed etc.

    Like, okay, you think you would have won without them running this or that perk? Meet you outside and we'll settle this.

    2v8 sounds exciting but should be more than 5 generators needed repaired. Survivor teams sound exciting. Could even make the team's random too

    2v8 on paper sounds great but in practice would be broken. for example: camping would be so much stronger, since one can camp while the other goes out and hunts. or a deathslinger with anyone. you get hit with the spear, hit by the other killer and then hit by deathslinger before getting off the spear. especially if it's a ghostface. exposed, speared, downed.

    and murder mystery just doesn't feel right for dbd

    so using process of elimination, that makes the alternate objective the winner. also we really need some other objective to slow down games while not being boring for survivors regardless.

    I'd like a completely random mode, where all players start with unknown characters and perks. And it would not allow survive with friends.

    Game has been out for 4 years and we haven't gotten a new mode yet. At this point, if they only add a casual mode with the same objectives I'd be happy.

    We barely get half decent games now as it is without at least one person in game being an ass, suiciding or DCing lol.. the community is too toxic for any of this in my experience.

    Something simple... How about a mode with more than 4 perks? 5, 6, 8, 10, whatever. I'm curious how interesting and full sweaty a game could be if the survivors and killer could have more than 4 perks. Might not play out well in real life, but I'm curious none the less.

    Speaking of it (sorta) there's an interesting psychological effect (forgot what it's called) that (as per dbd) would likely introduce a bit more variety in the perks used if the player could 'save' perk builds to switch through quickly.

    Another idea: One or two players vs killer. No perks, survivors in first person. Darker map that needs flashlight sometimes.

    I love the idea of a mystery. Although i'd love a 2 v 8 the devs said that would split the community even more, making wait times go even longer

    There is actually a game... Deceit. You know. Its all about murder mystery. Its actually well-done, so i see no point at doing that rn

    New Objective Mode

    I vote having new objective modes. Imagine having a type of game mode where maps are made to be incredibly long (imagine a rectangular plan instead of the square-like ones we have). In these long maps, survivors are placed exactly on one end (outside of a gate) and the Killer on the other to guard a key. The Killer must place the key on their far end of the map shortly before the survivors are released, and keep the team from obtaining it. Once one of the survivors have found and stolen the key, that survivor must bring it back to the gates to unlock the exit for their team.

    In other words, basically DBD themed Capture The Flag except the Killer is on permanent defense.

    Other.

    X10 Mode. All perks, addons, offerings and items are multiplied by 10.

    To make this not last 2 minutes at maximum, make there be a timer of 10 minutes where nobody can die, but they can be hooked and then the generators start to activate the exit gates after the 10 minutes are up. If the timer wasn't added, then Brand New Parts would make the game-mode completely unfair.

    Dunno why people have latched on to this 2 v 8 idea for so long, ever since DBD has been a thing in 2016 2 v 8 was suggested, I guess because it would be something new and therefore interesting but I doubt it would really work very well in practice...

    Honestly, some kind of "capture the flag" mode I think would work better, similar to the premise of events in the past like the Moonrise event for the Lunar New Year where you had to grab lanterns and hold on to them and escape. I think something that keeps people moving and bouncing all over the map looking for some kind of objective that randomly generates and maybe you deliver them all to one location or several or something not sure. I think I have a more "cops and robbers" kind of fundamental basis for this idea

    Of course whatever it would be would be dark, sinister, and Dead By Daylight themed. Maybe the survivors have to construct some kind of altar with ritual objects, or deconstruct an evil representation of the entity or something. Not sure, it is just an idea after all.

    I would really like a Prop Hunt (like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=950ODEY4t7Q)

    I would also like a No perk / no addons / no item mode. This will bring back the everybody is naked feeling and should help with balancing killer's base kit.

    I think adding different objectives would make the game more fun. Instead of just sitting on a gen you'd have to ensure you're doing other things too

    A new Objective Mode, the 2vs8 is cool in paper but never gonna work (Hard to balance, conflicts between perks, powers and addons)

    imagine how many varieties of combo, builds and stuff you can do if a "kill with your friends" mode would exist. yeah, that would split up the community, but we have crossplay coming and i'm sure a 2 killer mode would drag more players in the dbd community, ofc, this would take time, since they have to balance and rework some perks to let them be balanced in this mode.

    Interested, but my concern with different game modes is that it will make queue times even longer than they already are.

    Because there will be a smaller player pool of people wanting to play the same game mode as you.
