Cycle killers for free, or Training mode to give better experience for new players

It would be really good for new players to have some form of cycle for killers/whole DLC to try.

Like have one killer per week free to play, so new players can figure out how the killer works and maybe decide, if they want to buy the killer to continue play him.

Not sure, if they could do it for licenced killers, but shouldn't be an issue for original killers.

I would be really good, if they make it so new killers are free to play following week after release.

or just let introduce Training mode, where you can play any killer against bots as kinda demo version.

    I think I have suggested something in the past and I think it would overall be a good idea.

    Unfortunately the only way we can try DLC characters currently it by being forced to buy them (Splinters were removed), meaning we are not able to make more educated decisions on rather we enjoy the characters. Giving us access to all perks in Custom Games is nice, but I dont think it is enough.

    I think the Training mode, where you can only play against bots would be really good solution too.

    It's not against players, so that might be fine even for licenced characters. It would be more than enough for testing and kinda first impression, so you have something based on you can decide what killer to buy.

    I think every multiplayer game with DLC characters should allow players to try unpurchased characters for free in a closed no-stakes environment, such as versus bots.

    There is many killers where everyone is different and outside of watching someone else play it, you don't have much information to decide who to buy.

    So for new players, it is simply gamble every time they buy a killer. If they don't like, they just wasted money.

    For some people, it's not so little to pay.

    That just seems as terrible system to me. Just one of reasons to never want start playing DBD from scratch.
