There is DEFINITELY A GEN SPEED PENALTY

So little 2v8 rant

Me and my teammate got 3 hooks together and by that time four gens were done. As far as I can tell the gen speed penalty series does not exist since in 2v8 most gens are just 3 or 4 person gens meaning the penalty is extremely small or non-existent even as survivor I've had a match where maybe three or four hooks where done and we were down to two gens. The penalty doesn't exist because if you have three or four people on one gen the repair speed is increased for that gen even two people on one gen can go by quickly at times.

I get there's no matchmaking in 2v8 so your gonna be screwed depending on how new your teammate is but holy hell. I can see three gens be complete in a row before the next hook because the gen penalty barely exists.

    That's because those gens were probably already being worked on while the other one was as well before speeds applied, that happens a lot in 2v8.

    It's just how things line up early game sometimes.

    From time to time i played 2v8 with seven friends which take this game very serious.

    They told me to repair gens, but not finish them only if the Killer gets close to it so that the others get the speed bonus for the hooked survivors.

    The interesting fact - yes, there are speed penalty. I don’t have specific numbers, but relatively huge one. If killers killing fast in middle and doing their job great survivors get speed boost controversially.

    So basically — as soon as someone do their objective good, other side receive bonuses literally for losing. Last 2 vs 8 Otz made a video about this, with more proper explanation.


    Thats why I hate this event. They giving other side chance a win by sacrificing other side progress and punishing them for this. Nor killer, nor survivor should suddenly get more chances after literally having bad play lol

    Honestly that's not even the biggest issue of this system. If you get around 12-14 hooks and you're still at 6 gens you can lose super easily. Now you have two options, ether you say me and the other killer is bad OR the boost is just stupid making you lose even though you should win obviously. It's also the other way, I've seen rounds where we shouldn't have won, but we managed to hold them at a loop at 3 gens remaining and won.

    I honestly hate this system. That being said it's also hugely depended on what killers you play, good luck getting anything out of this as trapper and deathsling lol.

    also don't forget - gens in 2v8 take 70 seconds at base to be completed. Not to mention "anti-snowball" mechanic (+2.5% gen speed per hook, -5% gen speed per gen completed)
