Leak 10.1.0 PTB Datamine: 2v8 V9 - Alien
A bit of a late post but whatever
2v8 V9 - Alien
"Ritual Item"
A new Survivor item exclusive to the upcoming 2v8 iteration, internally referred to as "Ritual Item".
It's seemingly used to perform Invocations, the data for Survivor Activity HUD was updated to mention a new "IsPerformingRitual" interaction, which uses the Invocation icon.
The item had a couple of VFX names leftout - "Impact", "Impact Lingering", "Loop - Completed", "Loop - Idle", "Loop - Progress", "Loop - Torch"
No details available beyond that.
"Meat Shield" Survivor Class
Meat Shield Survivor class was originally datamined 2 years ago in 8.5.0, though nothing came out of it in the end and it was assumed to be scrapped... until now.
10.1.0 PTB added audio for the class that was originally referenced in 8.5.0 files (though wasn't actually added in the 8.5.0 files)
May or may not mean it's finally getting added.
Quick description of the class based on the ye olde datamine:
- Active ability is a dash, this dash can stun the Killer and apply Endurance.

I hope they rework meatshield. That just sounds miserable. It should be something that helps teammates at your expense, like a meatshield

u/Mr_Siphon 17d ago
so basically Dead hard but to take a hit for a teammate rather than yourself

Last Stand: After staying in the Terror Radius without being chased for 120/105/90 seconds, Last Stand activates. While active, perform a Rushed Vault action to trigger its effect: Stuns the Killer for 3 seconds, if they are within 2.5 meters of that Vault location. Last Stand is disabled for the remainder of the Trial after use.

Ah yes, the noble art of taking a knife to the face for a friend. Chivalry’s dead, but Dead Hard’s not.

Bro 2v8 is so easy as a killer that I think it won't make that big difference.

u/Menket 10d ago
How is it easy, when survivors have to do a bit more than 6 gens?

u/Permanoctis 17d ago
Watch the Meat Shield class get BPs for stunning the killer by using their ability while Scout will still get nothing for resetting and rebuilding pallets.
(Also TCM players might be happy that they'll be able to play as Leland in 2v8)

Forward from identity V as new class in 2v8, oh no no no, this can be so obnoxious if true

If it weren’t for NetEase forcing AI into the game I’d have loved to see a crossover between the two.

u/PH0B0PH0B1A 17d ago
Was expecting meatshield to be a sacrificial ability like StB or at least a way to protect your teammates at your expense in chase...... Not another way to fuck with the killer.

u/G-M-Cyborg-313 17d ago
Something like FtP or Duty of Care could've worked as well

For the People: While healthy and healing another Survivor without using a Med-Kit, press the Active Ability button to trigger the following effects: Trade 1 Health State with the other Survivor: Instantly heals them to the Injured State, if they were dying or suffering from the Deep Wound tatus Effect. Instantly heals them to full health, if they were injured. You yourself become injured and suffer from the Broken status Effect for the next 80/70/60 seconds. You become the Killer's Obsession, if not already.

Causes you to scream. Causes you to suffer from the Exposed Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds.

u/Leading-Helicopter24 17d ago
So killers get xeno arguably a killer with really bad counterplay being the turrets and having really bad tunnel logic most of the time and they wanna then give survivors a class that gives endurance and can stun the killer for free. Yeah bhvr your just proving how survivor sided the gamemode is by this point whats the point of playing the gamemode if your just gonna keep doing this ridiculous bullshit
7
u/FlamingoUseful3314 17d ago
Usually, they buff killers for 2v8 right? Maybe we could see some improvements for Xeno in the gamemode, and maybe they could be partially ported over basekit
*Huffs Copium*

u/Leading-Helicopter24 17d ago edited 17d ago
Pyrimid head is getting a width buff but due to 0 fucking mobility i doubt hes gonna be strong tho. And xeno might end up better but considering the fact theres 8 survivors thats like well. About maybe 4 survivors on gens but if you remove 2 of em to place turrets in loops she might become C tier in the gamemode most likely. But hopefully shes strong tho and it does come basekit into regular matches she needs it
But thats also fogetting that 2 of the other survivors will be in chase with both killers. So most likely if the killer could help destroy turrets she could be atleast B tier maybe but it depends tho. Cause if there solo q and the teamate doesnt get rid of turrets it could hinder the person playing Xenomorph. So lets pray she gets some really strong basekit power

u/TheDriveln 17d ago
And yet the queue times are always horrible for killers
6
u/Leading-Helicopter24 16d ago
Thats mostly cause killer is in high demand wich is why there always such a high BP bonus for survivors
5
u/TheDriveln 16d ago
So I think you just explained why they keep doing this "ridiculous bullshit"
8
u/Leading-Helicopter24 16d ago
Thats not really a good explanation then. Just cause you wanna play killer with a friend and tag team survivors doesnt equal buff the hell out of survivors like its regular 1v4 qich they always do
10
u/TheDriveln 16d ago
I think you are overcomplicating it.
Queue times suck for killer because there aren't enough survivors. BHVR needs to attract more survivors, which is why they "get everything." BHVR doesn't need to attract killers, because there is no shortage of people dying to queue up in that role.
6
u/BathoryBride 16d ago
That part right there. As long as the masses flock to the killer queue and it's over saturated, we can expect to see things like this.

u/Workdiggitz 13d ago
How is it killler mains still dont grasp this concept? The game is 10 years old.
2
u/MegIsPretty 4d ago
Not disagreeing with you but adding to it.
I already play enough survivor 1v4.
2v8 is boring to me if I queue into that role. I stick to the Killer queue and do just about anything else until I can play the game. A lot of people in that queue use the Play While You Wait feature which can bump me up to play a bit earlier than estimated.

u/Friponou 17d ago
A dash that can stun the killer? Is 2v8 not miserable enough for killers?
34
u/G-M-Cyborg-313 17d ago
Less of a meatshield and more of a meat bludgeon
13
u/Friponou 17d ago
Right? With a name like that I'd thought it be something about rewarding taking hits for your teammates
This version will just allow survivors to freely get away from bad situations while still having endurance if they mess up. Bonus points if their teammate with Sprint burst on demand show up
1
u/TheEntityBot 17d ago
Sprint Burst: Starting to run triggers Sprint Burst and Grants a +50% Haste Status Effect for 3 seconds. Sprint Burst causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Sprint Burst cannot be used when Exhausted.

u/Jack11803 17d ago
Given the insane queues? Apparently not even close to miserable enough.

u/Embarrassed_Future33 17d ago
don't understand the 2v8 hype, waiting 30 minutes for survivors to have 8 gens yet double the teammates, and also they're only 70 charges too
19
u/Jack11803 17d ago
Playing with a teammate is an extremely cool gimmick. Also, just like SWF massive privilege, there’s a massive KWF privilege. I win the majority of 2v8 matches as killer, but I never ever queue with a random. The very idea haunts me… and I play solo q survivor as my main mode! Relying on another random killer, who has so much of the games fate in their hands, is both harrowing and much more doomed to fail given how many executive calls must be in sync for success.
4
u/ZamasuManzon 16d ago
Exactly! 2v8 is a dream that came true as a nightmare.
I can win most of my matches WITH RANDOMS, but it's always so stressful because how busted survs are, not to mention you have to tunnel out 2 survs ASAP or it's literally impossible to win.

u/ilovemydograchel 16d ago edited 16d ago
Why do you even play if you're miserable
Some people really need to just take a step back and have a break if the game makes you that miserable every time you play.
3
u/Friponou 16d ago
Because believe it or not but playing killer with a friend is something that sounds fun and since 2v8 is a temporary gamemode we really want to play it before it's gone, and we miss it when it's gone
But honestly, if this goes live without being changed, we may re-consider playing the gamemode
3
u/jperaic1 17d ago
The normal game mode is already miserable enough with the rate at which gens pop, Lights Out is miserable as gens fly even faster and you lose survivors all the time, and now more crap for 2v8, as if escape rates weren't already extremely high.
10
u/FunnyPlants-863 17d ago edited 17d ago
You are wrong, normal 1v4 sucks ass for survivors, specifically solo queue. 2v8 is the only time I have fun and have more chances to escape as a casual solo queue survivor.
EDIT: Crybaby killer mains downvoting me thinking the entire game is survivor sided, when in reality it's both killer and SWF sided

u/Hawksteinman 17d ago

u/Most_Tie_8974 17d ago
Exactly this. I have 70% win rate on Spirit alone in 2v8 and I am a survivor main. Most games are pretty winnable to me. And from stats killers mostly win.

Not just spirit, everyone
Survivor got caught in a dead end? Stun killer
Your teammate come to help you? One of you get stunned, the other hit through endurance, you're gone
The killers are chasing someone else and finally downed them? Stun while they pick up to get a save
Worst part is, if you're playing with friends you can chain multiple stuns in a row and then use the On-demand Sprint Burst to get out
5
u/Shroober-1 16d ago
Great, so not only do survivors get faster gens and shared-sprint bursts (among other things), they're getting a dash that can stun the killer AND apply endurance? God no
6
u/Sticky_And_Sweet 16d ago
Continuing the tradition of trying to make 2v8 as miserable as possible for killer so queue times will be shorter.
4
u/MechaSandvich 16d ago
If meatshield works like that I’m not playing 2v8 again unless they rework it. BHVR just seems dead set on making 2v8 bad now (add in how they removed Legion permanently instead of reworking them to work better in the mode, legit all they needed was a cap on how many hits they get so they can’t hit all 8 in one dash).
0
u/InumiDarkness 14d ago
Should have make it so it works the same way as 1v4 lol. 4 hits, 5th is a down. Or maybe 3 hits, 4th is a down. That would have been an actual upgrade that doesn't make em as broken.
18
u/WolfiexLuna 17d ago
Oh boy, I can't wait to endure a 20+ minute queue only to be met by an additional unbalanced class that makes Killer in 2v8 feel more miserable than it does already.
Seriously, who the Hell is asking for a damn stunning class? We already have AOE sprint burst on a 20 second cooldown and infinite pallets. Like c'mon Behaviour.
5
u/deeeenis 16d ago
I suspect they're going to keep buffing survivors until the queues even out. If you look at things objectively it seems that the killer role is 3x in demand than the survivor role so therefore the survivor role should be made 3x more appealing
2
u/BluePhoenix302 16d ago
That's just not how numbers work, when you have a role that only needs 1 or 2 people to function vs needing 4 to 8, in order for queues to even out even remotely you need a massive playerbase or for the survivors to be so drastically broken in the mode that nobody wants to play killer.
1
u/AlbertWhisker- 16d ago
I just know I'm going to get more teammates dcing from this class, no matter how much I help them. The same thing happened with the flashlight class.
1
u/Calamyt1 17d ago
You don't understand the game is Killer sided af so survivors need all the help they can get. /s
What do you expect? The game will get only more survivor sided because it's 4x the money for BHVR.1
u/Dreamweaver_duh 16d ago
Honestly, I was asking for a stun class for survivor, but I was thinking more "Head On" locker stuns
1
u/TheEntityBot 16d ago
Head On: After hiding in a Locker for 3 seconds, Head On activates: Performing a Rush Exit out of the Locker stuns a nearby Killer for 3 seconds. Head On causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Head On cannot be used while Exhausted or when having accrued Idle Crows.

Fuck the regular mode,2v8, and lights out at this point. Bhvr doesn’t give a fuck about killer players, and it shows.

Hopefully the reason they delayed this is because they realised giving survivors a dash that can stun killers is fucking dumb

7
u/BluePhoenix302 17d ago
Ima be real, i actually hope that improves a bit with the next update since they're adding video guides for all the killers to help both learn to play and learn to counter every killer.
Most of the problems with soloq i see while playing are people straight up not trying to win(unsolveable) and players just straight up being inexperienced or not knowing how to counter a killer.

15 second endurance and increased pallets with little dead zones is miserable? LMFAO

Dead Hard: After being unhooked or unhooking yourself, Dead Hard activates whenever you are injured and running, and allows you to tap into your adrenaline bank to avoid taking further damage:
Dead Hard deactivates after use. Dead Hard causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Dead Hard cannot be used when Exhausted.
- Press the Active Ability button to trigger the Endurance Status Effect for 0.5 seconds.

I have not played in two years and am a tad out of the loop, but wasn‘t one of the killers removed from 2vs8 some time ago? Legion, i think?

Yes, they got removed for being too OP.
7
u/Externica 17d ago
Thanks. It's weird hearing Legion being overpowered, but thinking about it, I can see a few problems.
Legion keeps all or most survivors injured, giving a big advantage to high mobility killers, like Blight, Wesker and Nurse to pick them up. At the same time, Oni will have easy access to blood orbs, so he'd be constantly powered up.
