The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Why every time I’m in a 2v8 match why does one person go for the uncage multiple people come too?

I’m like go do a gen or something there shouldn’t be more than one person going for the uncage it’s a waste of time. For example in one of my matches I was playing survivor and I went for the un cage save and I noticed 2 other people are following me I’m just like go do a gen.

    And thats why eventually nobody is doing the last gen. I've seen that scenario multiple times
    Only medics should be focusing on saving and healing, but no, people want to do everything lol

    Being unhook happy is consistently the biggest survivor mistake I see in this game, and one of the main reasons I tend to scoff at survivor complaints of camping and tunneling.

    95% of the time when I see camping and tunneling its the result of survivors allowing it/making it easy for the killer to do. Running to hook while being chased by the killer, looping near the hook, or unhooking early with the killer within 20m and 55s still on the timer.

    I've had to ban myself from things like Deliverence, Borrowed Time, We'll Make It, Desperate Measures, old WGLF (thank god that got buffed) because I rarely get the chance to unhook anyone since no one stays on gens.

    Just my guess but since unhooking gives 1,000 bp and then another 500 if it turns out to be a safe unhook (I think the extra 500 is a thing in 2v8), and today being the 1st day of the bloodfeast where it's now 3x's more BP for the next 5 days on top of the 50-250% survivor queue bonus, I think people just want to farm the BP.

    This has been a thing already in 2v8 for sure, but I'm noticing today, being the first day of the 3x's BP, it's been TERRIBLE. I'll be going for an unhook and I can hear 2-3 survivors behind me almost every time. I spawn in a cage and almost always see a swarm coming my way. Or you'll unhook someone who's near another caged survivor and they want to run from you the second you unhook them to use their haste to try to go unhook that other suvivor. Savages I tell you! LOL

    Either everyone comes for the unhook or no one comes, there's no in between. Next iteration they should add basekit Kindred (minus killer aura) so you can see who is/isn't going for a rescue.

    I've seen a lot of the opposite behavior. Too often, all teammates will assume someone else is going for the save, especially when it's all the way across the map. If someone is hooked in the early game, I now run across the map and find myself the only survivor going for it even when there are seven survivors not on hook.

    I've also gone second state a number of times without anyone even coming close.

    But if I look behind me and see a survivor also going for the unhook, I usually veer off to the side and see if I should keep going for it. If they head for the hook, I might go for a gen or something.

    As a side note, I've seen some people complain about doing chests. But chests are some of the best plays in the late game. Pick up a Commodius as a guide and you can spend a lot less time getting your last gen done, which means a much higher chance of powering the gates since it becomes harder to push you off your gen when the killer has less time to find you on it :)

    I guess that would be fine, but I still believe you're never gonna be able to carry the uncarryable, no matter how many buffs you give them. There's a breed of survivor who just run the edges of the map, hide, heal, and never do a gen after the first one. You can't help them.

    Unhook is worth the same points as completing a gen in 2v8. 1k for running and spending .5 seconds vs spending 45+ seconds.
