Guesses for who the next added killers in 2v8 will be
It seems that BHVR has settled in adding 3 new killers per iteration of 2v8. Also, it seems that they have been adding mainly killers that are very popular or that are simple in design and don't require much adjustments. If they want to be fair, they could add 2 simple chase killers and one more complex macro killer.
Based on that, if I were to guess the next killers, it would be:
Oni: Very popular and doesn't need many changes.
Clown: Simple straight forward chase killer.
Doctor: A bit more complex macro killer that would work as both a support or an all-rounder.
Who do you guys think are gonna be the next ones to enter the roster?

all depends on if they want to do another licensed iteration of 2v8. But killers that I think are very likely to be added due to their power being simple for 2v8 and would only need minor buffs would be oni, trickster, clown, pyramid head, chucky, Dracula ,bubba, artist, singu and unknown. Killers like onryo, plague, xeno and pig would be difficult to implement since their killer objects that spawn on the map would have to compete with the guaranteed 20 chests that spawn on every map. But for the next iteration id guess they will add unknown, oni and either singu or clown.

ngl i would love to see artist and piggy in 2v8 (pig would need some help with her rbts tho bc those would go insane)

Clown, Hag, and Doctor is my guess. However, I am open to whatever they decide to do.

I'd love for BHVR to experiment with doubles so we can have Chucky / Tiffany or multiple Legion members or just other double shenanigans.
Personally I'd want to see more stealth killers added so Myers and Ghostface are first picks for me. Clown, Trickster and Singularity though would be cool. I don't know how they would add Pig due to the amount of RBT's and RBT boxes to search. I would like to see Pig added though.
Killers I never want to see added to the gamemode is basically Plague, Skull Merchant and Hag. Specifically Plague. How can they balance a killer that can permanently keep you broken in combination with other killers who can quickly keep up and one tap you?
Realistically though it would be awesome having all the killers available I just can't imagine how some would work.

Based on how popular legion was this time, id say the next 3 are skull merchant, trickster and doctor

Singularity does spawn stuff around the map, just like Nemesis and Wesker and BHVR managed to make both vaccines and sprays work together, so I think they would be able to do the same with EMPs, Flamethrowers, TVs, Jigsaw Boxes, Cleaning Fountains, and other killer structures.
But I agree that the killers that you mentioned would be kinda simple, although Unknown and Singularity would need more hallucinations and bipods, just like Hag and Skull Merchant would need more traps and drones respectively.
Knight, Twins, and Dredge would also be kinda of simple but effective additions, since they don't usually spawn stuff around the map and they could have some really nice synergies with other killer's.

I don't see Skull Merchant being added until she received her next rework. She is in a very poor state where she is so weak that no one wants to play her. She was never very popular, and now that she is almost a M1 killer with no power I don't see her being the poster girl for the next 2v8 iteration

Was more of a joke as the 3 most annoying killers in the game besides legion lol. But i do still play her occasionally, and win often.The thing is they change how the killers work for 2v8 like wesker getting 3 dashes etc so i still think it would be possible if they buffed her up for the mode specificly.

doctor and clown should fit fine. i don't wanna see a permanent ability oni all match because of legion. I'm not against adding him but he would definitely need changes.
hoping for dredge, doc, artist myself

I feel like Oni having a permanent ability all game because of Legion and Plague wouldn't be worse than Nurse with those two. Since they keep survivors injured all game anyways, having an instadown could be kinda redundant. And as for his antiloop aspect, Nurse is far more threatening, not the mention the havoc the Twins could cause in a full permanent injured team.
Dredge could be very interesting and scary. Just imagine bumping into a Bubba in the middle of nightfall.

I could just say, "All the rest of them!" But considering licensed characters getting in is unique, I'd say the DBD OGs have a good chance of getting in.
Hag, Doctor, Clown, Plague, Oni (not looking forward to that), Twins, Trickster, Artist, Dredge, Knight, Skull Merchant, Singularity, Unknown, and Houndmaster would all make great additions to the mode. You'd have to tweak some of their powers, but they can work.
Dredge would have to lose the bad visibility during Nightfall. You just can't have him and another killer going around in the dark like that. Even I understand that.
Knight, you'd have to take away the 3x faster guard despawn when another killer is chasing near them, or at least make the multiplier less.
Singularity, you would obviously just add more EMP boxes, or maybe even increase the time to spread infection to others, although either way that would make him feel worse to play as.
But I don't foresee most others things being problematic.

A clown-doctor duo would absolutely be mischievous and I love it. Getting chased by Clown, throws a pink bottle, bang, slowed down, almost at a window, doctors shocks you, that would be cooking up a storm, I love the possible mayhem. Here is hoping for Doctor and Clown.

That's my fear as well. There's a few killers I really don't care for, because I don't play them and they're annoying to go against as survivor. Oni is one of them, so he's not a priority addition to this mode for me at all. They'd have to not give him any blood orb add-ons base, and extend the blood orb stall to getting uncaged (like when you get off hook and it doesn't spawn them for a while).
And idk, maybe that's one instance where 2 killers should be banned from playing with each other, Legion and Oni. If you design a killer around being really strong, like S+ tier, when he's in his power, and his power is fueled by survivors being injured, I think a killer whose ability is to mass injure shouldn't be able to be used in conjunction. That's a totally fair limit on killer power, in this instance.

Yeah, she would need both beams on her drones back, and you know what, probably just revert her completely for this mode. She'll get speed and stealth quite often, but there's killer classes who do the same thing.
I'm exchange for that, maybe limit her drones to 3 or something, because I've just thought about "3-gen" or in this case "6-gen" potential. 7-8 survivors barely understand how to push 2-3 of those 6 gens when there's only 2 killers. I've seen that firsthand. If they had drones to additionally "patrol" the gens, I don't think they'd ever make it out.
They're right. Probably just wait for her rework before putting her in the mode.

I don't think Oni would be problematic. I can think of only two possible problematic combos: Plague/Legion and Twins massive slug mayhem, and Pinhead with Artist constantly harassing whoever goes for the box.
Other than that I don't see any other killer's being extremely oppressive.
1 -
yeah it just a problematic combo. He would be fine with just about any other killer pairing. Oni the strongest killer in game when in his ability so it definitely need to be handle carefully.
A nightfall bubba would scare the 💩 out of me.

The Oni, The Unknown, The Clown

Actually, Nurse and Twins with instadowns (survivors being injured the whole match) is way more scary.
1 -
i just don't see how a oni moving at the speed of light with a better turning rate than blight/Billy is comparable to nurse. I understand that nurses have the best anti loop but we talking about a oni who permanently in his ability. Besides it's not like they guarantee to stay injure! some will heal. Either way oni more lethal in both scenarios in my opinion.
Twins literally wouldn't even work in this mode. Much like hag they whole kit is design off of one tactic and deviating from it will drop them significantly. Every survivors have Unbreakable which means you going to have to actually pick up. If you have to run across the map to pick up every body you definitely gonna lose. gens go way too quick in the 2v8 for that. No deer stalker so you better hope they don't start crawling.

I already saw a hacker play as Dracula in the last 2v8 so he would likely work

Probably Plague, Doctor in Clown.
Hag should be coming but tbh I genuinely think she doesn't fit the faster pace of 2v8 so implementing her is probably harder than it seems.

Imagine Plague with her power against eight survivors and Hunty or Blight just running around one-shotting people.

Give me Funknown or i riot
Oh, and 2 Legions because why not.

As long as they do Doctor or Clown I'm good.

forgot about the unknown. they should definitely add him the players love him. Scout will really mess him up in this mode though. constantly knowing his position could make it easy to remove weakness outta chase.
0 -
I imagine that after adding the worlds most annoying character (legion) they'll continue down that path, so probably twins or doctor.
That being said I hope its a more dynamic character like the unknown or something that people enjoy playing as and against

wait that actually happened?

Me and a few friends loaded into a match and there was a rift skin dracula. Whoever was playing as him got dc'd but the bot still chased us around. It was wild
