Experimental mayhem mode in Dead by Daylight

Imagine, if you will...

BHVR would introduce just a few new maps built with using already existing assets and a new mode to Dead by Daylight in which there are multiple Killers and a bunch of survivors running around a giant map, trying to do their objectives as in the normal mode, only it's chaotic due to dozens of survivors and many Killers running around. This would be nothing of the sort of something like Call of Duty Warzone size of the map, but a big one fitting for multiple Killers and survivors from what we have got used to.

What is the purpose of this game mode? Nothing really, just pure chaos for the sake of laughter and giggles. It doesn't even need to be that balanced. It would be something that would be introduced as an event, not as something permanent.

Or, if this is not sounding great to your ear, how about a mode where we are given 2 killers and 8 survivors or something of this nature. Or perhaps a mode where we are given 5 or 6 perk slots instead of 4. Again, these modes would be just temporary.

Let's hear your idea of a temporary event mode for Dead by Daylight that would make it more chaotic and interesting than usual :)

    2v8 would be awesome, if you get tired of normal game mode you would just jump into chaotic match with 2 killers and 8 survivors.

    I think a prop hunt-like game mode would be pretty legit.

    Yeah, I think that would be the most realistic from BHVR to pull off without having to dedicate too much time and resources to make it happen. Plus it would actually be a pretty interesting change from the normal mode. OMG, imagine if the two Killers would chase one survivor at the same time instead of going their own way, there would be zero chance of looping pallets and windows. Or how about protecting the basement.... Omg, I think we have created a monster Q_Q

    They said adding one additional zombie frrom the 2 that Nemesis has would be too intensive for the game. How in the world would they be able to add 4 more survivors and 1 more killer without basically overhauling the game's programming? 2v8 is simply not doable with what they have right now, sadly.

    Otz had an amazing idea though of a team vs team type match where two teams battle in two simultaneous games; one team's killer vs other team's survivors, and points are earned based on both gameplay. A winner is determined after both matches. Seems way more plausible.

    I think that it would definitely be survivor sided due to the fact they could all swarm a killer trying to hook someone but at the same time that would be pretty hilarious.

    Now this idea is a custom match
