I think everyone here thought once if a mode with 2 killers and 8 survivors would work, and if it worked, how it would be balanced. Well, I have an idea of how a mode like this could work.

Hide and Seek

In this mode there will be 2 killers and 8 survivors. The catch is, there will be no generators for the survivors, instead they will just need to hide from the killer for a certain amount of time in bigger maps. When the time runs out, the gates will be open for the survivors to escape.

For the things to be more balanced:

  • The maps could be less open and have more hiding spots for the survivors
  • The survivors die when hooked once or twice.
  • Perks and Add-ons specific for this mode
  • This mode could be for fun, not ranked

Tell me what you guys think of this idea, do you like it? Hate it? Have suggestions to make this mode more balanced? Give me your feedback.

Edit:

  • This mode could not have scratches.

    Maybe make it event specific first, and if its enjoyed enough then put it into the main game as a kind of unranked mode. like a month or so long event though.

    You'd have to have some restrictions on both killers/survivors and perks like no Whispers/Spies, no aura reading perks like All Seeing Eye/ Scratched Mirror etc.

    For survivors you'd have to say take out perhaps DH/DS/NM etc to make it a challenge and realistically both sides would have to give up some stuff.

    You'd also have to restrict certain killers from being there like Doctor/P3 Claudette's type of thing as examples.

    Like I said, it could have perks and add-ons specifics just for this mode, and maybe use some of the already existing ones, but restricting some, but not all, like you said.

    And I think restrictions to some killers like the doctor and Claudette, as you said, wouldn't be a nerf that bad, when in the match you would have another killer/others 7 survivors to help you

    i mean its a good idea look at identity V they did 8vs2 and DBD have a potential to do it but some killers should need to lock for especific like legion, doctor and claudette needs some change of her shirt so ppl just dont do all the time EZ game since shes just for noob ppl
