2v8 Mode - My Conspiracies, Speculations... My desires...
![D34D_B34TB0X](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/avatarstock/n3WJNOFQVM6K3.png)
Don't take everything I say to heart, this is all merely a conspiracy/speculation discussion, ugh, thing. Or at the very least, how I think it'll play out and what I'd like to see, while also going over what we already know...
The Game: Two Killers, 8 Survivors… So there could be like 7 to 10 gens, 4 Exit Gates, 2 Hatches... No Hooks, just put them in Cages...
Killer Duos will also have "Team Powers"; The Wraith's ability being to grant their teammate Undetectable while cloaked. I heard this idea from one YouTuber, perhaps, when the Nurse blinks, the teammate ALSO gets one blink! And they could also reset your bear traps.
And assuming we see more of this in the future... Speaking of cages...
What about Pyramid Head, though…? The cages are usually his given shtick. What could they do to make his power in 2v8 stand out...? Perhaps, they could get enemies from Silent Hill 2 to aid him? There's the Bubblehead Nurse, though, she could also be a Nurse set, then there's the Mannequin, she could be a Slender/SCP Statue type enemy, and the Lying Figure could scrawl quickly towards you, spraying you with his toxic gas, intoxicating you similar to Clown's gas. Or maybe teammates could lace themselves with Rites of Judgement for up to maybe 30 seconds to inflict Survivors when performing a basic attack.
Maybe not all Killers need team powers, maybe I'm wrong. But let's say... Sadako. I guess it could make sense if you got the teammate to manually turn on the TV. Maybe it could go BEYOND team powers? They could give Killers new abilities exclusive to 2v8, where the maps will be bigger and there'll be more Survivors. For example, NEMESIS' ROCKET LAUNCHER… And the Facehuggers!
Also, as said, the maps will be bigger to accommodate the gameplay. So, I must ask (and please don't hate me) could we bring back old Haddonfield? Bring back the old terrain and everything, with some balancing here and there to accommodate, and with the modern graphics. Current Haddonfield doesn't feel like a Halloween map anymore… Paulie Esther said so himself, he hates it. Plus the old map was bigger, so there's that. I'd also like for them to bring back the old lighting and aesthetics of maps like it, along with Coldwind, Yamaoka and even Ormond. Maybe if they add a Day/Night cycle, maybe even a weather cycle...? No...? Okay... 😔
And if they DO make 2v8 permanent, could we see exclusive Killers come to the game? Maybe we'll finally get that giant spider, or maybe even The Tank from Left 4 Dead. Who knows?!
Survivors will also have "Classes" instead of Perks, so will Survivors have their own abilities representing their Class? If they add more objectives and in-game items, I bet this could work. For example, if Dwight were in the "Stealth Class" or something, he could be the only Survivor who can see Auras while in a locker. (On second thought, that could be a disaster with SWFs. Nevermind…)
But yeah, over all, I can hardly wait for what they'll bring in. We've been waiting 8 years for this, and we'll finally get to try it out by the end of this month! Hopefully, this'll help bring back the glory days of Dead by Daylight when it was a fun horror game you casually play with your friends.
But yeah, that's all I have. Thanks for reading.

Pyramid Head I think will still have a unique niche of his cages, because I imagine we've still got basekit BT on the remote hooks.
On Pyramid Head cages, you don't, and now you have 2 killers who can potentially catch an uncaged... 1 of whom wasn't across the other side of the map from where you spawned... could be quite nasty 😅
Its hard to imagine what form the powers are gonna take.... if they're very strong, we're gonna get power duos meta, something that already is gonna be a thing with certain character combos at base (Plague and Legion will be incredible with almost anyone, but especially Spirit/Oni/Twins).
If you make them weak, it's like why have them in the game?... *shrug*.
Thisnleads me to think the powers will be strong, but due to the power of these potential synergies, I wonder if there will be a KWF... or if it'll be random queue only.
If the intent of the queue is for it to be fun, random queue is the way it'll stay mostly fun... but if we have KWF, it's hard to not see it become a sweat fest 🤔
But we will also get memes with KWF as well... (Billy/Bubba, Pig/Ghostface, Trapper/Hag)... so worth it?

I say it'd probably worth it, for now at least. 🤔

I wish we had hooks like normal plays.
When survivors get sent to cages, there has to be a borrowed time basekit to that.
And I know they talked about classes, I would rather use perks that I have in this game mode.
But we might get suprized. I hope this will be so much fun. Finally be able to kill with friends

I'm now just picturing Pyramid Head with the cross map cage:
