'Lights Out' makes me want to punch my own lights out

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 W

I'd give it a try, friend. It is pretty fun.

Especially as killer.

WAIT... you can do the tome in regular matches?? I've been torturing myself all day for nothing 😭

Yes. I also thought it would have to be in the Nights Out-Mode, but someone wrote in the Forums that it also works in regular games and thank god for that.

I probably would not have tortured myself with that mode anyway. The rewards are only Charms and Player Card-Items, I would have simply missed out on those if they would only be obtainable in the Nights Out-Mode. (Well, and Rift Fragments, but those dont really matter to me personally)

First few matches with Alan as Survivor was fun, I the only one left... well crawling and managed to reach a hatch. :D But just like normal game mode teammates are a roulette, you get good players or bad, who die even with good perks and guidance system.

Same for the Killer side. Though "Woo-hoo, I'm gonna slaughter tonight" yeah, in my dreams. XD Good team managed fix all the gens and get zero kills or even hooks as a Xeno, a little more luck I have with the Singularity hence the cameras. Interesting play as the Trapper. Though endgame chat I got I was tunneled. Honestly, I didn't on purposely, just saw someone in the fog and started to chase. But even this circumstances the survivors managed to free a one of them form the basement! And I put traps literal every doors and corners in the basement. XD And, they not triggered and managed to avoid them.

Actually, recently I mostly do challenges for BP and lore, and maybe for challenge. Sometimes I feel after a dozen matches I can get win or a decently fun match at either sides.

At least nurse is 1000x harder to play ...

I will not try playing survivor ...

Best part of this mod is the "no perk" side, that's why i'm loving it

Watching survivors running clueless around because they can't use WoO is priceless

This mod should be used by the Dev to realize how much perks impact on the game, more than anything else

From what I have seen, the Killer just not goes far away. No Terror Radius = better option to camp.

Well look at it this way, what do you expect from a game of DBD or at least what makes a great game of DBD for you?

I'm in it for the horror movie experience, which with each year is lacking more and more as I become better at the game and more desensitized as a result.

Injecting a real sense of just complete "Oh crap I'm screwed" right from game start has really jumpstarted that new player feeling I had when I first played DBD making lights out a great thing... for me and I hope many others.

If what you want from a game of DBD isn't captured by what I just described then sure I understand why you aren't enjoying lights out.

But remember this isn't about a balanced competitive PvP experience, its about being stuck in the dark in an "oh crap!" experience and its absolutely achieved that at least for those of us who want it.

I will play lot more survivor in this mode compared to the base game and I hope its eventually available on an ongoing basis.

I don't use WoO (or any meta perks) and I still ran around clueless. It's actually very disorientating as a survivor in Lights Out. Killers have a point of reference (gen auras) but if I can't recognize the tile I've just run into because all I see is a wall, then it's easy to get lost.

I played a few matches on both sides before realizing you could get the challenges without doing that. My first Survivor game was against the Lights-Out version of Insidious Camping Bubba, so that pretty much set the tone.

It's no so much that it felt scary or hard or that I lost more than usual -- I usually lose a lot. It's more that it felt tedious. Like, I had to make a bunch of extra effort to do even basic things -- like staring at the floor to follow blood trails as Killer. At one point, I thought, "Maybe it's good to go back to fundamentals -- maybe my tracking will improve," but it wore me down fast.

I get why this mode would appeal to purists, and I even agree that it's a cleaner version of the game, in some ways, but i just had a lot more fun in regular matches.

I may be the only person in here but I honestly enjoyed the Mode.

It's been a real "return to core DBD" experience and it's been satisfying to not have enemies who lean on(or heavily abuse combos of) perks.

Survivors; just make sure you're listening too and have that gameplan already. Stealth is key(as it usually is, but even moreso), and careful attention is paramount. Having map knowledge will save you too, so maybe scour the area quietly and stealthily before for a couple chained loops/pallets or windows.

Killers: just don't be dicks.

This mode has been a MUCH needed break from Perks, OP/Meta BS and in most cases SWF as well, and has been a great departure from the usual. Some cosmetics and a couple challenges + 2XP and I was honestly having a great time. Honestly was sitting here wondering if it was a test for a "comp" mode, and was kinda stoked but if they're just rotating random modifiers that'd be chill too! :)

I'd say spare yourself the headache and don't play, it's really not worth the stress. Killers are still hard-tunneling and camping as if it's just another Tuesday. My SoloQ games were so bad I hopped on as Ghostface and just meme-ed around and it was insane how many survivors were being very kind and thankful for not being hard-tunneled for once during the event like that oughts to say something.

I found killer to be really boring in this mode. People would just flounder around at loops or run into me. I did a couple of games as survivor with my friends and it was just like most of you said, tedious and annoying. Just a lot of extra steps to do the same stuff. Quit after getting legion 3 times in a row, feel like they defeat the whole purpose of limited vision. From what I can see a lot of people enjoy the power fantasy of either being helpless at somebodies mercy or just tearing up survivors with ease. Not my cup of tea personally.
