The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

If there was a 2v8 mode.......

Which Killer pairings would have the best or most unique synchronicity?


I like to think Trapper and Legion would be interesting. Legion to scatter them and Trapper to snatch them as they flee.

    Maybe, but how many generators would there be? 10?

    As someone who's stopped running Spine Chill for a while now Myer's/Ghostface/Pig would be awesomely effective.

    I think Legion would be a must for 2v8 mode, since they would just find and injure everybody easily and the second Killer would finish the job.

    I would say Legion + Blight / Huntress would be really good together.

    Sure, watch 6 gens pop after the first down. An amazing view!

    Ghostface and Jumpscare Myers are the perfect duo.

    Legion & Trapper got me thinking - I think I like Legion & Hag better. Legion to injure everyone, and Hag to rapidly deal damage to people trying to move around the map while injured.

    Imagine two Bubbas playing a basement build lol. You play as normal until you get a basement hook, but once someone's down there you always keep one or the other relatively close. Even if you down a survivor too far away to get all the way down to the basement, that's fine; provided you get them reasonably close to the basement you can have your buddy down the survivor once they wiggle and bring them right downstairs anyway. Once a survivor gets on the basement hook, they're basically dead. Eight downs = win, and those downs might even be easier if people ever go for saves. BT can't even always save you against one Bubba. Good luck against two.

    Forever Freddy & Plague would be disgusting. Stacking slowdown perks would be disgusting in general but these two would be so good at it.

    Legion & Twins would be insane too. Everyone's injured all game and Victor gets to do nothing but rampage. Usually the only reliable counter to Victor is staying healthy so you can kidnap him for a bit when he hits you.

    Plague + Spirit is why this game mode would never happen.

    Plague + Oni = Oni will be getting his power all the time and can down Survivors very quickly. If they cleanse, then the Plague will have her power all the time.

    Hag and Legion. Hag sets the traps, Legion makes the survivors run into them.

    Most tryhard combo? Nurse + LF or nurse + Trapper

    She brings survs to other, and that other is camping them to death

    Funniest? Tbag duo Piggy and GF

    Legion+ Spirit (UwaUhaUwauha)

    Trapper + anyone (you now have to pay attention to 3 things at the same time)

    Oni + Spirit (good luck trying to hear spirit when ONI is screaming all the time

    Gunslinger + Clown (sniper and spotter)

    Doctor+ anyone (i am the only survivor i know that runs calm spirit unironically)

    Freddy + Anyone (especially: + Spirit and + Legion)

    Pyramid head + Anyone (except Ghost Face and maybe Myers)

    Hag+ Huntress

    Plague + clown, twins, Blight or Pig

    Nurse + Hag ( WAAAAAH!)

    Trapper and Hag playing the basement game

    Oni and Blight for M1 madness

    Nurse and Spirit for GG survivors

    Ghostface and Myers are a bit of stealth comedy pairing

    Probably Doc/Plague/Legion + one of the top tier killers I guess.

    Plague and nurse. Injure them all with plague. Give her the ability? Or let nurse down everyone? It's a win win. Obviously nurse has to be good, as well as plague.

    Legion and Oni would probably be the meta choice, since Oni's Blood Fury is the best power in the game, but his overall power, yamaokas wrath, has the downside of needing to get an injure with a basic attack. Having Legion pretty much negates the one significant downside of Oni's power, and you'd also get extra blood with the mending time and healing time, which is quickly undone by Legion, and, on top of this, even if you DO heal, Oni negates your health state with instadowns. It'd be disgusting.

    Well i'd only play Wraith anyway, so i'll think of combinations with him...

    I guess Plague or Legion would be the way to go, especially Legion.

    Get a quick hit in with Legion, then get a surprise attack in with Wraith.

    They both have the "a bit more speed than usual" thing going on as well, so that's a neat lil theme.

    Doctor + a strong killer

    Legion + a strong killer

    Both doctor and Legion can pretty much debilitate survivors from doing anything while the stronger killers focus on killing.

    Guys this mode will never happen. Too many variables. I would expect a DBD dating sim mode before this

    Okay, but there better be an Oni route. I just want one smooch from him, that's all I want

    In terms of most unfair Nurse + Spirit. Just put the two best killers together lol

    Hag + Trapper I feel would be evil as well. Both setting up their respective webs of traps far away from each other would create two large zones for survivors that they have to worry about and even if they overlap some, that just makes it even worse for survivors.

    Aside from these unfair combos one I feel would be more fair but still powerful and a good example of two killers who would synergize well together would be Plague and Oni. Injured survivors from Plagues vile purge give Oni his blood for his power and if players cleanse they give Plague her corrupt purge power so it's a lose lose situation vs these two snowball killers.

    When you guys are thinking about "which pair of Killers do the best job" and list in the best Nurse with 2nd best Spirit.

    Guys, 2 killer players can pick double Nurse thats the true best of pair killers.

    Def doc and nurse static blast and she starts a chase

    But if that's not allowed probably freddy w fake pallets and idk bubba

    Ohh def oni and legion 10 people for legion just to hack and slash and oni just has plenty of blood considering they would probably bring double pallets to make up for the amount of survivors there are so legion will ingore them

    If not pluage and oni with thanata

    Plague + Twins

    Everyone is injured, everyone will get slugged constantly, and anyone who tries to heal will make Plague slug even harder

    IdV's duo hunters mode is quite an experience. The ruleset is interesting, although i dont remember how strong the decoding penalty is. That upgrade shop wouldnt make it into dbd tho, thats for sure.

    It's funny, the dbd community gets so hung about 2 killers tunnelcamping the same survivor they forget the remaining 7 pushing those gens.

    -- back to Op's question, I'd say doctor is a good "support.

    Else chainsaw bros' before metahoes 😂

    Two Bubbas.

    Okay c'mon hear me out on this one. One Bubba facecamps, the other gets downs and actually plays normally. Then they switch roles once the other Bubba gets their facecamp kill.

    Also please BHVR make this happen exclusively to ONLY custom games, I don't think it'll affect the playerbase as much and maybe it'd benefit the queue times. C'mon lads you added the new UI for new features, right..............................?

    trapper + any killer

    The doctor would go well with any killer. I would pair him with nurse for aesthetic reasons.
