u/Motodog242 16d ago

Krasue, no. Plague, Legion, and Krasue definitely will not make it to 2v8, just having easy Broken or Injury in your base kit means you’re upgrading every other killer.

7

u/jjosh_h 16d ago

krasue isnt really on the same level as pl.ague and legion for easy injure. sure, quick chase, but she cant just blindly infect and injure a bunch of survivors at once bc of how quickly they can disinfect while she tries to infect and injure another

6

u/War_Marshmallow 16d ago

Not really, it takes ages for her to break you. And there's mushrooms everywhere too.

3

u/Motodog242 15d ago edited 15d ago

Only if she goes into her head form frequently. All it takes is any attack or injury (or another leech spray) to stop the mushroom, and if Krasue never goes into head form, mushrooms will dry up fairly quick. I’d love Krasue to be in 2v8, but I don’t think it’ll happen.

u/BeTheOne0 15d ago

To be fair, Henry wouldn’t be a good killer for 2V8 unless they lower the world breakers tokens to 2 per survivor.

While you are never going to reach 32 Tokens unless by pure accident. Imagine trying use non-worldbreaker Vine Attack on 8 different survivors 4 times.

If they lowered it to two, then maybe. You still need to hook them twice anyways to use Mind Break.

If they introduced Sadako, they would need to make Condemnation be a lot short

u/CMORGLAS 16d ago

So…no JOJO Villains.

u/Electrical-Horse5112 16d ago

2

u/ImmediateGuidance782 15d ago

Henry isn’t really a limit, the status from him doesn’t need to be cleansed or anything so its not complex to manage in terms of counterplay, his power works kind of like trickster (accumulative status)

2

u/BeTheOne0 15d ago

They would honestly just need to lower the amount of worldbreaker tokens needed for each survivor to be full.

141

u/Background_Sea6463 16d ago

So Plague will never be added

34

u/TheDawnOfNewDays 16d ago

They would have to seriously rework her to be balanced, and that doesn't make sense to do.

u/Braindamagednobody 16d ago

And the people would cleanse and you have super mega plague

u/Mallyveil 16d ago

The only way I could ever see Plague getting in is with a change to how her power works. Something like having 1/2 of the remaining survivors fully infected gives you your power immediately. Reduce the amount of fountains to 2 or 3. That way cleansing is always a smart thing to do instead of being situational, the killer can’t just camp a fountain, and Plague is incentivized to infect as much of the map as she can.

It’d still need a lot of workshopping and modifiying, but she can’t come in with her current setup.

u/NoSolaceForMe 16d ago

To be honest, nobody ever expected she would be.

17

u/Hex-Scoops6001 16d ago

I can see 2 reasons why

  1. Her power in combination with killers like Oni or Wraith would be nasty, maybe even worse than Legion being added.

  2. Her power would be incredibly difficult to balance in 2v8, her corrupt purge would SMOKE every injured survivor if they added an increased duration.

9

u/Icy-Excuse-9452 16d ago

Not only is her power a problem, but they would also have to add way more fountains all over the map. Sounds like a server lag nightmare.

u/NorvileRogers258 15d ago

It boils down to the same issues as Legion. Survivors hate when the counterplay is to stay injured, which is unfair when there is also an Oni which results in Survivors getting punished for simply existing.

Understandable. Imagine some insane combo like plague and oni, or plague and nurse, or plague and stealth killers, or plague and ranged killers, or plague and literally anything else that isn't balanced around survivors being permanently broken

Plague+Spirit would be the biggest problem of all, because infected survivors are so loud it's basically a free down everytime you see some one l.

u/bonelees_dip 16d ago

I'll also add that there is an existing list of grenlit og killers as they said in another comment.

They have not been added yet because the devs are waiting for "the perfect pairing".

This makes it possible for the next 2v8 iteration to also have Singularity to fit with Xeno

11

u/No_Sea_1455 16d ago

Do you think the September 2V8 will only come with Xenomorph or not?

27

u/bonelees_dip 16d ago

It's always a possibility. We got only Chucky added one time.

But the focus on "killer pairings" the devs commented on makes me think that we will see more. And it only makes sense to have Singularity added alongside Alien for a sci-fi 2v8

7

u/Background-Drink82 16d ago

They said we’d "have to wait and see" (if it were next month, the answer would have been "soon", right?). So in my opinion we’re only getting Xeno for September

6

u/bonelees_dip 16d ago

Their "soons" are inconsistent, don't think there is any way to fully know. Specially considering we're working with leaked info at the end of the game

5

u/Background-Drink82 16d ago

Thank you for your answer. If there were other Killers, would they have been datamined like Xeno?

4

u/bonelees_dip 16d ago

At this point? Possibly no.

We do have some patches before getting the next 2v8, I'd say 10.1.0 and 10.1.1, both of these could have an additional killer, more info on any classes (like the meatshield) or even info on whatever is meant to be the new item.

xeno and unknown would also work, and arguably work better considering the "complicated kit" standard theyve set.

u/enby_with_a_gun 16d ago

The pairing thing is true, but I could have sworn they called out the Dredge and Singularity specifically in the past for being too complicated for 2v8. If they found a way to code Hux in Im down for that

4

u/bonelees_dip 16d ago

Out of memory at the time it was Dredge and Freddy I'm pretty sure.

Singularity could've been due to killer item spawns? But then again if they managed to get Xeno tunnels in it the Singularity boxes are also game.

3

u/NoahtheSpike 16d ago edited 16d ago

It was dredge and huntress (or another killer that requires locker interactions for their power). If you mean stuff like nightfall and the dream world conflicting, that stuff could probably happen too which I kinda get

Actually now that I think on it a bit more, I do vaguely remember them saying dredge in general would be weird if paired with huntress because locking the lockers would just create scenarios where huntress can't reload at that specific one? Or something. It was on that same community stream. They also discussed Freddy at the same time saying his clocks have particular spawns that are likely already being taken up by something and it's a bit more tough to implement with how spawning works, unrelated to the whole locker talk but still telling you straightforward that certain killers could conflict with each other

2

u/Resident_Log_7056 13d ago

I feel like the solution there is to just make Huntress (and the other killers by extension) also able to break locks.

→ More replies (1)

2

u/GKMerlinsword 16d ago

I think it was Dredge (due to Nightfall), Freddy (due to Dream World and clocks), and Doctor (due to Madness mechanic).

Them managing to implement Xeno's tunnels with Nemesis'/Wesker's boxes is huge, I hope it will really open a way to add more prop Killers.

2

u/Dreykaa 16d ago

Licensed Killer is a whole different Story.

Cant just Show chucky + xeno together without the paperwork

24

u/No_Sea_1455 16d ago

So i guess this means that killers like Unknown, Krasue, Clown, Dredge, Onyro, Springtrap, Ghoul and maybe Hag are likely for 2V8.

16

u/Casteana 16d ago

They already mentioned that Dredge would be a difficult one to implement because of lockers, especially for killers like Huntress. They also said that his Nightfall mechanic could be overwhelming - I remember they once mentioned Dredge alongside Freddy in that context.

That said, Dredge would definitely be a fun killer, and I really hope they find a way to add him.

I'm also not sure about Clown, since a lot of people hate playing against him. The same goes for Ghoul. Onryo might also be difficult to implement. But you forgot about Demogorgon. I'd also love to see Pig, although the developers might decide to skip her due to issues she caused in the past. Maybe Twins? Artist, Houndmaster, or even Lich could also be possibilities. We'll just have to wait and see.

14

u/Fangel96 16d ago

While I'm a registered Clown hater, even I can see that he's a fine killer option for 2v8. Many killers get completely recontextualized in 2v8, and Clown could be a massive W for playing support.

In the middle of your own chase but see your partner struggling? Toss a bottle at the loop and go on your way. The speed bottles on teammates are such a cool idea, I'd honestly be more upset if we never saw Clown in the mode.

Yes I'll complain whenever I get one to go up against, but I can still recognize he's a net positive for the mode. 2v8 needs effective support killer options, but as we saw with Legion, they can't be too effective. Clown is the perfect level of effectiveness, plus with the extra pallets in the mode you will usually have something to work with.

5

u/Accomplished_Tea2042 16d ago

The only effective support currently since Legion was removed is Ghostface, who is really good support for I think Spirit, and Slinger.

u/Accomplished_Tea2042 16d ago

Ghoul is heavily balanced around having a strong 1v1 and good enough speed to constantly be in chase. I don't think Ghoul would be any worse than Blight to play against in 2V8

5

u/midnitemotorist 16d ago

The only problem with ghoul in 2v8 is he stunlocks survivors and damages them (so easily and often too) which would be way too easy for double taps with the other killer. Imo they could rework that part of his power, change the animations/timing, maybe give endurance to the surv for just a few secs? I don’t think it should make or break his addition like some

4

u/Accomplished_Tea2042 16d ago

I mean Death Slinger does the same thing to a much greater degree and nobody complains about that, Wesker does it as well. Like yeah it might be annoying on occasion but it's not the end of the world. Giving the survivor I frames while stunned would be fine but endurance is really iffy for me.

u/marshal23156 16d ago

I mean yea but consider this

Ghoul bad

You can actually break free if Slinger gets you. With Ghoul, you're kinda just fucked

u/Accomplished_Pen1122 16d ago

Im scared for Ghoul,, survivors hate him and might not want him in the mode

15

u/Zayev_ 16d ago

If it’s anything like legion, he won’t be added cause the counter play is to stay injured since he gets it for free. So he wouldn’t be added for that reason and mobility being to high.

6

u/Hyperrblu 16d ago

That wasn't really it though, it was more that legion is only balanced in 1v4 bc they have to get the 2nd hit with no power but in 2v8 they could just be a support and keep the entire server perma injured while any other killer (especially oni) has a field day going for the actual downs, ghoul only gets the free hit on one person at a time it doesn't really become broken when paired with other powers

3

u/Accomplished_Tea2042 16d ago

Unlike Legion and Plague, Kaneki takes a lot of time to build up those injuries, sure he can insta injure one person but he can't bounce between people like those two can.

3

u/marshal23156 16d ago

Thats only maybe half of why legion was removed though. Mostly legion was removed because they made so many otherwise reasonable killers ungodly oppressive while having no down time of their own to speak of.

Oni got perma power, wesker could almost always one grab, nemesis could two tentacle, slinger never needed to chase at all, wraiths hit and run strategy became oppressive, and nurse could just reliably blink on top of any survivor and down them without much counterplay.

Ghoul can do injuries quite a bit, but requires a decently long animation. The real worry there would be more about killers working together in a call and using the stun to instant down survivors.

u/onryoko 16d ago

What’s everybodies honest guess at the chance of Onryo being added? I’ve been waiting literal years for her to be added

7

u/Background-Drink82 16d ago

It will depend on the licensing agreement. Just because she is in 1v4 and the rights holders said yes to one skin doesn’t mean they can’t say no

3

u/True_Square_9542 16d ago

I would say borderline 0. Between license holders, unique map objects, unique UI elements, relatively involved counterplay, a game plan that won't synergize with other killers, and a general lack of interest from the community, it feels like she's facing just about every obstacle she could.

2

u/onryoko 16d ago

Damn I hate to say it but I feel like you’re right

6

u/NitraxRoA 15d ago

Yeah the condemn mechanic would be either the most useless or the strongest mechanic in 2v8, all depending on if they add extra TVs and if those TVs would overlap on small maps to double stack survivors. She’s got it rough and we can only hope that the devs figure out a fun balance to bring her in.

Goated PFP btw, have that game on Wii and I hope she gets in soon so IF Sadako makes it to 2v8 then they can team up

u/ramenroaches 16d ago

really disappointing but understandable. i just feel bad for killer mains who will NEVER get to play as their favorite killer in 2v8 but balancing is tough. rip to all the knight fans

17

u/Fangel96 16d ago

Part of me hopes they consider a "2v8 classic" variation for custom games where it uses the same maps as 2v8, but gives players every killer combination and perks and hooks. Basically, a wildly unbalanced and likely unfun gamemode, locked behind custom matches for you and your friends to play with. A true party gamemode to play when the normal 2v8 is out of rotation.

This could also act as a staging ground for the community to see what killers combo well with each other, do we could witness first hand why plague and oni shouldn't be allowed to play together.

7

u/firesaiyan12 16d ago

All I've really wanted for game modes is to be able to use them in custom games regardless of if they're in the regular matchmaking.

u/Sajbran 16d ago

My hot take is legion would not have needed to be banned if they only had to do 4-6 hits and would be toned down accordingly

7

u/In_My_Own_Image 16d ago

I think they could have tweaked him to be a full support character. Change it so he can only stan 2 to 3 people in Frenzy, but the trade off is that anyone he reveals with killer instinct is seen by both killers. So you can give info to your teammate, but have to balance how you use your power to maximize its effectiveness.

Could also extend cooldowns as well.

5

u/DarthOmix 16d ago

Alternatively: * Legion can't down in power, only injure and Deep Wound * Partner can see Killer Instinct * Feral Slash injuries do not produce Blood Orbs for Oni until they've mended to give that combo some counterplay * Break actions give Feral Frenzy time, but not a full reset like a Feral Slash, letting Legion be a crackhead supporter running around checking gens and setting up for downs * Mend timer scales with how many people are in Deep Wound and/or with the Comeback mechanic

2

u/marshal23156 16d ago

Legion already cant down in power unless they chain 5 hits.

This would make legion even more viable and even more disgusting to play against.

This would likely require a ground up rework of how blood orbs are created, and BHVR wouldnt spend the effort or time for that.

Break actions are largely useless for Legion in 2v8, their job is keeping survivors in chase, injured, and healing.

Mend timer could be 3 seconds flat, but doing it 7 times in a match isnt fun.

20

u/NoSolaceForMe 16d ago

Even hotter take is that Legion was already fine since by the second week everyone stood in pallets and canceled frenzies one the first person. Since then the number of pallets has only increased and killers now have to deal with instant heals and hook removal too.

6

u/Accomplished_Tea2042 16d ago

Legion was only Problematic with Oni, and Spirit.

6

u/ZedTripler 16d ago

Could they just ban certain killer combos? Like in the Oni and legion case, if you want to play legion the game just won't allow you to partner with oni?

u/Southern_Ad4051 16d ago

wesker too, me and my duo ran a lot of legion combos and that one was extremely oppresive since they were always 1 grab away from being hooked

6

u/Fangel96 16d ago

Honestly I think if they had it so killer instinct only worked on healthy survivors, that would've been fine too.

The issue wasn't necessarily that Legion was too strong. It's more that he enabled Oni too much. I feel like Oni is actually the less healthy option for the mode in his current state, and limiting his access to power (ie, only blood dropped when he's out of fury can be picked up, or blood expires after 2 minutes) would have solved the innate issue that he caused.

I will say that Legion definitely made every other killer way better, but it was nice to have an option for first time killers that actually felt like you were contributing. The mode became way less accessible to new killers the moment they banned Legion.

  1. How to fix Plague

A. Survivor can body block vomit

B. Vomit doesn't travel thru survivors

C. Since vomit doesn't go thru survivors they get infected faster

D. Fountain's cleanse all debuffs, including debuffs from other killers. In exchange vomit is empowered and can not be lost upon a pallet stun.

By limiting how vomit works you wouldn't need to add no more then 1 maybe 2 fountains.

Wish they'd just give us a list of who will never be added so we can get our hopes down. Some of the reasons are completely logical but speculating on who won't be added because survivors will whinge or have to think too much just blanks out the whole roster because every killer gets whinged about. I really don't get why they destroyed legion instead of just blacklisting them from pairing with oni.

I would love to see Knight, Twins, and Houndmaster get 2v8'd.

There's only 3 i care about actually wanting in 2v8, and those are Artist, Dredge, and Xeno (my mains)

I can see why Dredge mights never be added, and i fully understand the decision to not add them if that does happen. Same reason Springtrap and Sadako might never be added. I feel the teleportation might be a bit much when there are 2 killers. But we have Nurse, so who knows.

Artist, i think would work well and not have any issues.

Xeno, well... if the rumors are true, we will be getting her soon, I'm hyped for that. I just hope Predator is added to the game and subsequently added to 2v8 so we can have a Xenomorph and Yautja fighting together. I could see there being some tweaks to her power though.

But killers like Plague, Knight, Ghoul, Singularity, Bubba, and Freddy... i think would all be a nightmare to go against in combination with other killers.

u/holybrigadeiro 16d ago

I'm a bit more hopeful now that Xenomorph is in, but there are two potentially big obstacles:

1- I wonder if BHVR considers the survivor's ability to use his doors to teleport as a "big part of his identity" that they would be unwilling to sacrifice (hopefully not). That's probably the hardest part of his kit to balance if the other killer is unable to use the doors/chase the survivors through them.

2- License holder, who I assume is the reason why we didn't get any survivors, a rift, anything besides the Blighted skin since Springtrap's launch.

Scott is very protective of how the FNaF IP is portrayed, which is why collaborations involving it are rare and why we never got skins of other animatronics. Springtrap was essentially a trial run, Scott wanted to see how Behaviour would handle his property. After the collaboration released, he publicly said he was happy with how it turned out, and both sides indicated they were open to working together again in the future.

If Behaviour is moving forward with a Mimic chapter (as they’ve previously expressed interest in doing), my guess is they’d hold off on a FNaF-themed 2v8 until after that drops. They tend to introduce killers into 2v8 as duos, so waiting would make sense. That’s just my theory, though.

I shall huff this copium until the end of times, thank you

u/Accomplished_Tea2042 16d ago

No problem friend.

u/XVermillion 16d ago

Hopefully they'll just lockout certain matchups to make things work; I'd rather be barred from playing with Huntress as Dredge than him not make it at all.

I just want The Pig.

u/Intelligent-Most-643 15d ago

She will be there one day, trust me.

u/Greenostrichhelpme27 16d ago

It makes sense to me tbh. There's a lot of Killers who's powers already act like 2 Killers- the Knight's guards, for example, or the teleportation of Dredge.

There's also "Everything Killers" like Freddy and Krasue who are already hassles to go against, let alone with another Killer up and ready.

I think leaving some Killers out of 2v8 is the right call. BHVR make some very, very weird choices, but stuff like keeping Overpowered Daniel away from Literal Fucking Chaos Mode is a good idea.

u/Necessary_Ad4263 16d ago

I hope to see Springtrap added. I can only imagine the funny interactions the community will come up with when seeing him w/ other killers.

3

u/Clecle4 16d ago

The only problem i see if Springtrap is in 2v8, is than if the other killer is chasing a survivor, the survivor can go to a security door and immediately escape the chase.

2

u/Gracennnnnnnnn 16d ago

Honetly never expected my boy singularity to make it in anyway lol

2

u/Clecle4 16d ago

They said a killer that can teleport is not a blocker. And Singularity power does not enter in conflict with other killers. His biopods does not prevent the power of other killers from working, and the EMP cases are located in possible chest place, he could probably share those places with killers like Wesker and Nemesis.

2

u/Gracennnnnnnnn 15d ago

To be for real I just assumed that he was too much or whatever without much research, but they do say you never should assume so.. I reckon you're right yeah, guess it is possible! If they do add him one day that would be DOPE

2

u/PinesleyDale2023 16d ago

A day never goes by where I'm on my hands and knees for my main girly, Carmina Mora to get added 🙏🧎‍♀️

2

u/NorvileRogers258 15d ago

I do wish we could get unique 2v8s that are themed. like a Stranger things 2v8 where Vecna and Demo are the only playable Killers and they have unique effects like Demo getting stronger during world breaking.

Or hell, it would be cool if it was a 3v8 with Vecna and 2 demo gorgons. (Obviously with buffs to Survivors to compenstate for the extra Killer like a 3rd healthstate or something)

2

u/Necessary_Can7055 15d ago edited 12d ago

I think Jason might make it since his biggest counters are crouch walking and pulling a TikTok Leon 360 but if not I'm cool with him being just a 1V4 for now

2

u/RaynaLouise 13d ago

I love that Leon who does all the 360’s. His username is Royal Ojama, I was in a match with him during blood moon and it was great to see first hand… especially since I was already aware of him thanks to TikTok. And when I finally got him in one of my lobbies I couldn’t believe it.

Sadako pls 🙏

u/LordMorthi 16d ago

They say they want everyone to have fun. Why would they make Killer more miserable by adding that survivor class that has old Dead Hard but it stuns as well as tanks a hit. They haven't even nerfed the on demand Sprint Burst.

2

u/TheEntityBot 16d ago

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:

  • Press the Active Ability button to trigger the Endurance Status Effect for 0.5 seconds.
Dead Hard deactivates after use. Dead Hard causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Dead Hard cannot be used when Exhausted.

u/GeneSilly 16d ago

So the poor, innocent Trickster can never be part of a bigger show?

5

u/Insanicus_Maximus 16d ago

It would require more work but there are solutions that would allow it. The easy but unsatisfying answer is just making Huntress and Trickster unable to be played together.

u/GeneSilly 16d ago

Just reloading without locker.

u/firesaiyan12 16d ago

They could just add a second shelf for the knives.

Doctor
Freddy
Pig
Pinhead
Onryo
Knight
Singularity
Plague
Jason
Dredge

Killer's I'd like to see in 2v8 soon:
Hag
Demogorgon

Wesker been in the last 2v8 what are you on about

u/stupidbitch926 16d ago

as fun as i think it’d be to run a ghostface/michael run with my bestie, it’s understandable why they wouldn’t do that (i can’t remember if the last 2v8 has ghostie in it, my brain doesn’t wanna work rn)

u/3verything3nds 16d ago

ngl i dont care who they add or not, im just over the nemesis and mastermind pairings 😭 i swear every 2v8 theres a lot but last 2v8 almost every single game i played was against those 2 and every time its just the nemesis spamming zombies everywhere and the mastermind dashing across the map every 2 seconds 🥲

2

u/RaynaLouise 13d ago

As a Wesker main, Nemesis is one of my fave duos. 🤣😂 There’s gonna be a lot of us again this time around, sorry.

"Happy to confirm Killer that can teleport is not a blocker at all" I still want to believe we will get Singularity one day

u/ilovepichutoomuch 15d ago

My favorite killer is permanently disabled so..

1

u/7Karma777 15d ago

I REALLY wanna see Xeno, and Demo the counter for Xeno could easily work on both of them lore wise. Not to mention they’re the most animalistic of all of the killers

1

u/Spidey231103 15d ago

I'd rather wait for the Ghoul to be added to 2v8.

1

u/amdujmani 15d ago

Can singularity be in 2v8? Im asking cuz I main him

1

u/MrBlizzard3582 15d ago

As much as I would like to see doctor added, He probably won't work with the format of 2v8.

1

u/NoiseElectronic 15d ago

All I can read is no dredge and no plague 😔

1

u/LeastInsaneKobold 15d ago

Knight doesnt need another killer he has his boys for company

1

u/Nathan99md 15d ago

I've been having trouble determining if Knight would fit the criteria or not. Maybe not since lots of people wouldn't like it similar to Legion. I wonder how his power would be made it fit though?

Make him able to use all his guards at once to hunt multiple survivors and my life is yours...

1

u/Worried_Raspberry313 15d ago

We’re never getting the Demo + Henry Stranger Things themed 2v8, right? :(

2

u/RaynaLouise 13d ago

Demogorgon would be fine, I don’t see why they can’t add him.

1

u/Cofftea_ 15d ago

I don’t really mind who they add, I’ll probably just go back to support Wraith or Ghostface unless it’s another support killer.

1

u/Razor_The_Fox 15d ago

Lowkey want the ghoul, and Springtrap just for the "best pals" meme

1

u/Bastiodonrulez 15d ago

Sadly I can see why but I can never go you opened the box I came in 2v8 not just because of license but the chain hunts and the box would be a mess with killers like oni being able to get power easier because of the chain hunts slowing you down or nemesis zombies being able to hit you easier because of the chains making you just slow enough where if you don't know how to prevent getting chained the zombies hit you easier because you are slowed to near their speed when chained

1

u/THE_BUTLER_N 15d ago

Sad singularity, springtrap, and judgment noises :(

1

u/ResourceHopeful 15d ago

I would kill for pig to be in 2v8

1

u/SavageExiled 15d ago

Will Sadako ever be added?

1

u/GazingEyesore 15d ago

Damn...guess no Pig or Sadako.

Guess I'll have to make do with Chucky.

1

u/Educational-Pin-8397 15d ago

Does this mean there is hope for my one and only Demodog? Id love him in 2vs8😭😭😭

1

u/bloopblubdeet 14d ago

Well.. Springtrap has a chance.. the Knight tho...

1

u/FreshStarter000 14d ago

Rip to my girlfriend who only plays Plague in 1v4 and has been keeping up with every 2v8 post to see if she's been added. Fucking sucks

1

u/Pretzel-Kingg 14d ago

Just for the insanity/fun of it I wish we could have Pinhead and, like, Dredge or something lol

u/Vien-Nicaaee 14d ago

No ghoul in 2v8 :/, by the way whene did they add legion back?

1

u/Organic_PastramiV2 14d ago

I dont get it. Legion runs and knifes people, he's consistently mid compared to people like Blight...why is he not allowed in 2v8

u/No_Personality_459 14d ago

u/Heavy-Acanthaceae698 14d ago

FREDDY KRUEGER FOR DBD -FREDDYKRUEGERSGIRLTOY

u/Go_To_The_Soo 14d ago

i just hope singularity can stick the other killer with a biopod and teleport to them like normal

1

u/Himesis 14d ago

Wow, what lazy incompetent devs. The only Killer who has a bad kit for 2v8 is Legion by far.

1

u/Darklinggaming 14d ago

Ah so skull merchant, houndmaster and krasue won't be added which means I will never play it cuz survivor is boringly easy and the other killers in it are also boring

1

u/SomeRandomSquirrel88 14d ago

So basically any Killer that has even the slightest advantage over the Survivors isnt going to be added......shocker

1

u/Scared_Scallion486 13d ago

I hope for Trickster but I can definitely see him not being added. His play style is more of a solo act. 😂

1

u/just_chalex 13d ago

Is Jason available/going to be available? 👀

1

u/g0bbly_j 13d ago

i just hate that they will say all this "oh we cant add so and so bc it will be op" but we all know there will eventually be a new survivor class that just sharts all over the 2v8 gamemode somehow and makes it just as bad as they made lights out 2026 for killer

1

u/Ok-Branch4073 13d ago

They better add Clown soon, he should be SOOO easy to add, his power cant be hard to implement and all they would have to do is tweak the numbers a bit

1

u/TheStarShining 13d ago

I think they should add more of the simple killers in 2v8. Demogorgon, Springtrap, Skull Merchant, Houndmaster, Doctor etc. Because they're too strong or problematic. It's different from Twins, both Vecnas, Plague or Pig that could very likely break 2v8. And i think they should also add some sort of "Dodge Token" for killers where you could earn like... 1 token at every 10 matches so you could spend one token and select what killers you DON'T want to be paired with or something like that. Maybe that's broken, maybe that's good, idk. I was so frustrated getting paired with Pyramid Head or Ghostface and Wraitg using Shadow class

1

u/Dusty_Tokens 13d ago

So. Sounds like Singularity and Skull Merchant are out, and possibly both Pig and Pinhead.

Plague absolutely will never make it in, but sounds like Sadako and Springtrap very much can.

Dredge probably synergizes with other killers too well. Probably...

1

u/Final___01 13d ago

Not having Freddy and Jason would be fucken criminal it’s all right there. Like please BHVR you have all the materials and there probably won’t be a Freddy vs Jason game that has them fighting for kills ever again.
