Kill Switch update: Amanda's Letter add-on for The Pig has been Kill Switched due to an issue with incorrect RBT count.

Wesker & Legion

Now that Wesker and Legion have both been disabled, lets try adding Onryo and another character like the Plague or Doctor would be nice, it'd be cool to see the Knight have a shot at 2v8, I feel like Xenomorph and the Lich would also be suitable replacements or additions, The First would also be fun to play in 2v8, I feel like there's a lot of unused potential in character variety in this game, in my games survivors almost always escape with like 6 people when I'm killer anyways so why not just flood the gates with killers people want to use instead of the same ones we already have, plus we keep getting characters disabled it'd be nice to have some fall back plan or am I just stupid? In 2v8 with these other killers mentioned we could actually get a lot of value out of our killers we otherwise wouldn't be able to get, imagine running the first in 2v8, it would glorious yet here we are with the same character list as every other 2v8 basically minus two kill switched characters, idk, the mode is already boring to me, the cheaters don't help the situation.

    Legion is no longer killswitched. Out of like 13 games in the past two days, 8 of them have been Legion. I feel like a pretty solid switch out for Wesker would be The First. If Wesker lines up just right he can injure a survivor and infect another with his dash. The First could do something similar.

    I would argue the Oni should be removed like there should be no plausible scenario where Oni is allowed in 2v8 and none of these other characters would be allowed it just doesn't make sense. I'd much rather play as The First than the Oni simply because you'd get better case use out of The First and 2v8 would actually make him fun to play whereas with Oni I'm just getting stupid cheaters with an instant down character, hell even the Onryo would be better, sure she can teleport to TV but she still can't one hit down, Ghost Face is fine because he can't run faster than survivors even with sprint burst in 2v8 like the Oni can.

    as much as I would love the play vecna and vecna^2 in 2v8 it’s probably not gonna happen unfortunately.

    Vecna^2 fails on 2 accounts of Bhvrs established killer criteria. First survivors don’t like playing against him but that’s a low blow. And second the actual reason, worldbreaker.

    Similar to Freddys dream world and dredges nightfall, worldbreaker would keep him from being added.

    Plus there’s the always the issue of licensing getting in the way.

    Oni is fine now, he can barely down 3 people without losing power. And if survivors are good with their sprint bursts and aren’t greedy with pallets, he barely has enough juice for 2 competent survivors.

    You won’t be seeing team wipes with one power use anymore unless your team makes a seriously bad blunder.

    Clown would be the easiest to implement. Henry would definitely need either a speed buff or an Undergate cooldown buff, or both. I cannot fathom dragging my slow self around those giant maps, especially with on-demand SB in play.

    Please do not being Onyro into 2v8. That ######### is so ass with random teammates even in 1v4, I cannot even begin to imagine trying to get people to run tapes in 2v8.

    I don't see how licensing would matter, he's already in the game, you're telling me you need a license to add him to another game mode? No, I'd argue that's completely absurd. Worldbreaker wouldn't even be that much of an issue in 2v8, more players would be able to slowdown his power making it completely balanced, cooldown on undergate by 50% would make him more viable in terms of speed and gain actual benefit out of the character.

    I'd rather have a legitimate Onryo player in my 2v8 than the mass amount of cheating Billy's and Oni's not gonna lie.

    i meant worldbreaker would be a problem because of the lighting/map changes, they said already they don’t how it would affect the other killer. I wasn’t talking about how it strong or weak it’d be.

    And yes licensing does matter, as they need entirely new contracts in order to implement killers to 2v8 because they could up be partnered up with other licensed killers and some license holders don’t like that.

    Prime example being oni and spirit with the AoT skins, they were ‘already in the game’ but weren’t available in 2v8 for the couple iterations until finally they got a new contract, enable the skins, and now we got a whole AoT ‘themed’ 2v8 with the eren mobile skins.
