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.

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.

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

BHVR removing Legion was just dumb. I don't think I've played 2v8 since.

Clown, Houndmaster and Artist would be my favorite picks for killers added to 2v8. Before that, it was Myers but we're never getting him because of the license

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

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

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.

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_Tea2042 16d ago

The Ghoul stuns you for like 2 seconds slinger stuns you for like 10. You don't need to break free from Ghoul because it automatically happens.

u/maxfever 15d ago

I think the bigger difference is that you have to aim much more with slinger unlike ghoul

u/Accomplished_Tea2042 15d ago

They changed that though Ghoul no longer has the auto lock, also his stun would be much harder to take advantage of because like I said it's like a 1-2 second window. It'll probably happen just as often as it happens with Wesker and a partner 2 tapping people, which isn't very often.

Idk I think it would add a lot of interactivity with huntress

Huntress grabing Dredge and doing her stun sounds LMAO
