It's been sought after by many as a new mode for as long as I've played this game and would really breathe some life into this game. Look how much fun they're all having!

    I mean im all for it in stuff like kyf since it really needs more options and they said theyd work on kyf eventually. But not in the real game.

    I for one think that a 2v8 and even a 4v16 mode would be awesome for the game! It would breath so much more life into it. I'd especially be awesome in custom games!

    8v2 would be more of a party gamemode the most balance that might be done is just disabling a perk or two because they don't function properly in the gamemode

    Mad grit value or star struck we have the perks to deal with that

    Honestly if they were to add more players I think they should remove gens and hooks, have it be a sudden death type of thing, or you have to survive for a length of time against 2/3/more killers until gates are powered.

    ...damn that would actually be so fun and I desperately want that gamemode now :(

    I think it'd be neat for a KYF option, but not for normal queue.

    So, make every survivor a Blendette with Iron Will/No Mither/Urban Evasion?

    @MadLordJack Your bias is showing, I said nothing about a specific role with that statement.

    It's not bias, it's basic gameplay issues. 8 people is insane. There's nothing any pair of killers can do agaisnt 8 people in DbD. They can literally become both unhookable and unsluggable.

    To those who say that bhvr is just working on making kyf better or whatever... Well I guess I don't keep enough up to date on stuff to have ever heard of them caring about kyf BUT it shouldn't be just a kyf thing if this ever was added. I don't have 9 other friends to always play with. They should add it to the real game because, joking around in a match or not, it'd be highly possible to take out those 10 survivors or for a majority/all of those survivors to escape. Plus, if you care so much about winning as killer and hate relying on someone else to help, it's obviously a completely optional thing to play. No one would force you.

    If people were to feel like it'd be too chaotic on survivor side, make survivors only have 3 perks for that gamemode. As for killer side... the fact that I see some killers actually get a 4k at 5 gens on a normal mode, I think they could potentially handle 8v2. Just make the lobby a little bit longer for survivors and rando killers to get their perks sorted out. Cuz for example if there was noed, it could work for both killers if only one killer had it.

    I mean Deathgarden had a gamemode like that and I thought the game was just fine with that mode (granted it wasn't optional unless you wanted to back out of that match and keep going into other queues).


    However, the point was already made that bhvr can't even balance their normal 4v1 matches. And regardless of knowing bhvr, they don't care too much about those who want to have fun and see more added.

    @MadLordJack Obviously some core mechanics would need to be adjusted. Picture how awesome it would be to pick Oni and your friend picks Blight or Spirit and that Survivor Dead Hards your Demon Slam only to be blindsided by a Lethal Rush outta nowhere! I could write a book of awesome Killer scenarios but I don't wanna type that much on my phone, think outside the box dude. Imagine getting 21 stacks of Dying Light ...that would be insane!

    I prefer to have the new game mode instead of RE chapter tbh.

    Game needs something new (not only chapters with characters)!

    God im tired of posting it.

    Identity V has a reasonably working 2v8 Duo hunter mode. It's balanced by certain rules like no double killers ,7required/11total gens on a map, a 30 second period on hooked survivors they dont get sacrificed or can get unhooked, 3 healthstates ( everything except healthy is injured) and a ~30% repair speed ( might also be action speed) penalty. The map pool is also restricted to 2 giant maps. There was some sort of in-trial shop for killer upgrades and survivor items, oh yeah 2 items per survivor.

    Google it, because i think i forgot some rules. I think some of their killers were disabled in that mode because their UI couldnt handle 8 survivors. But i guess no dbd killer is too strong for this kinda gamemode.

    The only thing in the way of a 2v8 mode would be maps sized to spawn a bigger number of gens.

    And to the obligatory "2 killers tunnel the same survivor" concerns.... There'd be 7 unsupervised survivors...... SEVEN survivors free to do they want.

    Nobody would play 2v8-modes after a while. Why should you play it, aside from KYF-Matches?

    Killers might want to play it, because they can play together with their friends. But Survivors will most likely only play it as SWFs. Like, Solo is already a mess, I cannot imagine to play with 7 randoms who urban evade around the Map while I am on the Hook.

    And we all know how much Killers would like to go against 2 4 man SWFs or one 8 man SWF.

    Let alone that it would be a pain in the ass to balance this Gamemode... They should rather focus on their one 4v1-Mode they currently have and dont open any more gamemodes which would need work.

    That many people want this just clearly shows that the devs are doing a good job not obeying feedback.

    How people can't see how this just can't work with how the game functions now just shows that most of the community doesn't have a clue how this game works
