Killer vs. Killer?

Random though and probably a bad idea.. Dunno, thought it would be a fun concept to have a Killer vs. Killer. Literally just trying to kill each other, short match skirmish.


As much fun as it is to hunt survivors it would be fun to be a killer who has to watch out for other killers.

    To be appealing I think it'd have to involve a little more than just 2 Killers slashing at each other but I'm with you in that I feel the game could use a new kind of mode to spice things up a bit. Only problem is the dwindling player base would not support even 1 other mode at this point as it splits the pool of available players and drives up already semi-slow queue times.

    it would take a lot of reworks. Trapper would be horrible in this game mode, if its a small area and they spawn together

    It's been brought up before, and it will never ever happen of course for a plethora of reasons- but it's fun to discuss the 'what ifs' of it.

    I am just boldening that part above; to hopefully mitigate the dozens of future comments.


    Anyways, I think it would be hilarious to see two baby nurses trying to hit each other haha. Also, just imagine wraith vs wraith, each waiting in silence and invisibility expecting to get the jump on the other one; as entire seasons go by.

    I have a game mode concept similar to this. Its not killers trying to kill each other but rather 2 killers competing with each other to get more survivor kills. At the same time, there are 2 teams of survivors, 3 survs per team, trying to get their exit gates powered first. Check it out here:

    Some killers would be completely useless.

    It would require so much rebalancing and coding it would be a nightmare and not worth the hassle.

    Also we don't know how killer powers interact on other killers. Like, would LF and Hillbilly's chainsaw hits instantly defeat the other killer like they do with survivors? If so they would be overpowered. Can other killers just remove the Trapper's trap from their feet if they get caught like trapper himself does? If so trapper would be completely useless. Would deathslinger be able reel in someone so much stronger and bigger than himself like oni or Demogorgon? Would Plague and Clown really be able to infect/intoxicate other already undead or otherworldly killers like Spirit, Nurse and Demogorgon? Also Wraith would be borderline useless as his whole power is used for hiding and not to inflict damage or hinder the opponent. Would doctor's shock be able to prevent other killers from using their powers for some seconds like it does to survivors? That would be very overpowered too. How would pig be able to put her tiny head traps that wouldn't even fit in the heads of the other giant killers?

    There would just be too many problems and it would be a real mess.

    If anything, having two Killers competing over 5-8 Survivors for top sacrifices would easier. On top of that, in the event of a draw, highest score would get the victory. If scores are even, it's a draw.

    If I were a trapper in that game mode, I would be a troll, I would die laughing if some other murderer fell into the traps in the middle of a chase xd

    How about one Killer protecting THEIR team? I know that is insane but fun to talk about. I appreciate all the replies! I love the DBD community. Still, I believe Spirit and Pyramid Head would dominate. I get the idea it would not work though. I seirously doubt Freddy could Nightmare Meyers or PH. Screw it! Lets MMA this! 6v6 Killers, no hooks, all Morti! Lets DO THIS!

    I want Kill WITH Friends. 2v6, killers see each others auras, constant regression on generators (can still be kicked) at 25% the normal regression rate (when kicked, it regresses at the normal rate), 9 gens on the map, 7 gens to complete, 10 totems.

    How much fun would THAT be?

    That...is actually a pretty interesting idea - a Killer Protector? Very interesting... Would it be 2 Killers vs Protector + 4 Survivors?

    Oh I like THAT idea. I was thinking each team has a protecting killer but 2 vs. 1 protector and a team is a very strong idea! That puts pressure on the two killers AND protector as well as survivors. What about healing? Could Survivors heal the killer? Could Killers be hooked or just get mortied?
