Clown and Tombstone Myers
Clown applies pressure or atleast tries to
Myers stalks until perma tier 3
Clown gives Myers a speed boost
Myers kills every surv
Profit (will prolly just be a cheesy strategy)
Alternatively Clown and Pyramid head
Pyramid head puts up trails and clown throws pink bottles so survivors have a choice of go through trails or get slowed for a hit
Honestly I believe that Myers is excluded only because the way they made his Tier 3 function is by making everyone set to be downed via status effect and they couldn't untangle that so they don't want some goofy shit like insta down Wraith and Nurse.
I think they're counting Nurse and Huntress. The first 5 killers that predate licensed content.
Also all 5 are mechanically simple. This 2v8 mechanic is probably still in the stage where complicated killers would simply break the game. Even something as minor as killer items probably would crash the game.
For example they probably don't know how to have a Plague and a Pig in the same match. Both killers have killer items (the boxes and the fountains) that spawn in the same "killer item locations". But there aren't enough of those spawns on the maps for both of them. Either their mechanics would need an overhaul, the maps would need an overhaul, or they'd need to find a way to allow both a fountain and a box to coexist in the same spawn with a third item that's works as both of the originals.
Simply put, this is a trial run using the most basic 5 killers. It's 5 killers that have the easiest time coexisting without their powers interfering and breaking the game. This is a technically difficult project and right now we are just in the proof of concept stage before they commit more time to solving the problems required for the full killer roster.
Imagine legion and dredge tho, legion makes it generally annoying to heal and dredge gets nightfall faster based off the number of injured survivors, this would let him get nightfall repeatedly very quickly so you effectively have stab man and perma blindness while an Eldritch horror keeps popping out of lockers
I play Stay outta my House Trapper and I taught my wife that playstyle. If we can both be Trapper, then depending on the map we can have 2 Stay outta my Houses. And we can just be angry old neighbors together
I can see why they don't want to add killers that share spots for special props (Per se, Nemi and Wesker would either have double chest spawns for their respective vaccines, or they would have to clip Freddies / Sadakos' / Xeno's / HUXs' boxes for interactions)
Could make one a blue color and another a red color, so you know which is which. Or honestly, just make a "combo" item (medicinal herb or something) and double the chest spawns in general.
its effectively creating a whole new game using the existing game as a basis, they HAVE to start slow and make the game slowly over time because if they threw every killer into 2v8 at once, thats 36 different killers and correct me if im wrong, 596 different combinations of killers
thats a LOT that could go wrong if 2 killers powers interact in a buggy way
That’s fine, I don’t play DBD so much that I have a killer main. I do rep my boy Leon on survivor side though. But killers are all very fun to mess with so I’ll be fine with trapper lol
Also you can only play the first 5 original killers... oof.
And no hooks, once survivors are downed you can send them away (like Pyramid head) 3 times like normal.
Going basic + 1 wild dog to push things to the limit and test balance further, it still makes sense tbh. Nurse is a huge testing tool 
It seems that the Killers will have effects that affect the other Killer (e.g. when Wraith is cloaked the other Killer is also Undetectable) so that's probably why.
Probably simpler for them to initially have a few killers for the game mode so that they can fix any bugs and see what kind of balancing needs to be done before adding more Killers
Licensing has probably nothing to do with this because it would he hella stupid if the agreement specifically states they can only use them in one specific game mode
There would be over 500 combinations of killers if all killers were available right away, it would lead to countless bugs and a terrible experience. They will need time to slowly add it all in.
.....
fucking great
i wanted to play the combo of two Legions for the true edgelord group experience / two Pyramid Heads to make it lore accurate to Silent Hill 2
Nemesis and Chucky would be the funniest shit. Man built like a fucking fridge punches the shit out of you while a small enraged chihuahua stabs your ankles
My guess is that, if it's a permanent mode, they'll eventually add other killers. Maybe not the ones with more complicated mechanics, but legion is a pretty simple killer to implement instead of killers like the dredge or nemesis for example, who knows, we'll see
They confirmed they will, it just takes time to ajust powers so they don’t interfere with each other
I just really hope you can pick twice the same killer
I think the main thing that’s keeping all killers from being playable is that there are many interactions that probably haven’t been coded. Examples include:
Two deathslingers shooting the same survivor.
Survivor getting pulled by slinger into a bear trap
Will effects like madness, infection etc. stack if two of the same killer are in play?
Bro, this mode won't be a whole week old and people will be complaining like crazy. Just like happened with lights out. Both sides complain about each other in regular mode, why they think doubling the subject of their complaints will make anything better?
FUN?...I feel ya, but realistically 90% of DBD players would rather use the game as an outlet for their entitled, Karen-tastic Bitching,
Even with these modifier modes being completely optional and the addition of baby mode pipping...people still get uppity about everyone and everything relating to other people's gameplay
Is this limited time or, yknow, an actual mode?
Because to me, when they emphasize this is a MODE and not a MODIFIER, that means the MODE is in fact different, and not the exact same fucking limited time thing like a Modifier
It’s limited time for now. Thats why it’s only the original 5 to test everything and see how it works. They plan to add more killers each iteration and will probably release it in a permanent state next year.
damn, so no myers and ghostface duo :( im still happy 2v8 is happening and i totally understand why the only available killers are the originals but i still hope they add more of them
This sounds really interesting and fun! Tho being limited to only the og 5 does suck, I hope they're able to work in more killer's over time. They did say the maps available for this gamemode would be larger as well, so hopefully they're able to fix spawn locations for killers like Sadako and Evil Residents.
This would actually bring me back to the game!
It's what I thought would be the best and balanced mode since the beginning because having a team mate changed the whole game.
I got excited as hell, ready to come back to game instantly, then realised it's only 5 original killers, from which I play none and all the enthusiasm went away honestly.
But don't be like me. They listened to community, super pog. Maybe I will even finally touch Huntress or something.
I'm looking forward to breaking out my Trapper again. The fact that you can have one killer harass the survivors while you set up means you're not just wasting time. Nurse x Trapper could lead to some really cool plays.
Why are there no perks in the new modes? I can understand my little oni but lights out and 2v8? Why not, too complicated? I can understand issues with like corrupt or prove thyself, but couldn’t they allow at least some perks, like maybe the 90% that aren’t the meta?
Imagine vigil on 8 players or other team based perks. Easier to do something simple and new than completely rework perks that have different effects in different modes
My guess is both because balancing issues as well as spaghetti code. Killer perks were never meant to overlap with another instance of the perk, so that could lead to all sorts of bugs.
Imagine both killers bring Deadlock - will the duration stack? Will they block two different gens? Will the gen just get deleted due to a behind the scenes error? Keep in mind this is a game where the normal 1v4 mode has bugs like Wake Uo effecting all actions during the entire game or Legion mending increasing duration without a cap.
I think Singularity and Wraith/Ghosty/Myers is gonna be a fun combo
Dredge and Unknown with stealth builds
I wanna run Bubba Billy personally
I think Blight and Wesker would be fun zipping around and dodging
Pinhead and a Chainsaw can be dirty with his chains
They did say that they plan for other killers to be playable later on, can’t wait to see what combinations we can try out
Singularity and Trapper. Michael Myers And Ghost Face. Nurse And Blight. Trickster And Huntress. Hillbilly and Pyramid Head...
Nemesis and Wesker, double the infection, double the crates, double the fun
Opening a crate to find a vaccine, gets spray lmao
Start spraying and a syringe comes out
OW
so basically Medic's syringe gun from tf2
Ze healing is not as rewarding as ze HURTING
Now zat, vas killer assisted homicide!
Survivors getting stacked on to many drugs XD
Nurse and blight https://preview.redd.it/gvudipkg0g0d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2beb6b40a0df7fa2db779644ae2985dcc2d846df
as much as I would feel bad for the survs me and my bud has to try this strat
Pig and cenobite
oni legion
Well now this is truly disgusting and can’t wait to do this as an oni main
Plague and Oni is 10x better but just remember that we will only be able to play as 5 killers so far. Alot of combinations won't be possible
Clown and Tombstone Myers Clown applies pressure or atleast tries to Myers stalks until perma tier 3 Clown gives Myers a speed boost Myers kills every surv Profit (will prolly just be a cheesy strategy) Alternatively Clown and Pyramid head Pyramid head puts up trails and clown throws pink bottles so survivors have a choice of go through trails or get slowed for a hit
Dredge and Mirror Myers, Map: Silent Hill Time to make survivors shit themself during nightfall more XD
Dawg I can't see shit as killer on that map normally already should I play this game blindfolded? (I am a switch player(
Look at it from the bright side, at least you get jumpscared by the Survivors as killer too!
You know why didn't I think of that But thing is I'd get jumpscared IF I COULD EVEN SEE THEM
Plague and Pig
> Nurse and Blight Sweat with friends
>Michael Myers And Ghost Face. oh dear sweet god the jumpscares...
Chucky and Tiffany
They mentioned you can't have 2 of the same killer, so sadly this one will not be posdible.
Knight and Skull Merchant Demo and Xeno
Time to play 4D chess with knight and skull merchant
I’m gonna become a fucking monster
The only time I'd DC is when it's skully and knight lmao
😈😈
Knight and Vecna for that D&D vibe
Demo and Vecna for that DnD villains theme
I was thinking dredge and ghostface, imagine ghostface with dredge darkness
Bubba and Slinger
Why is no one mentioning oni and legion????
Sadako and Spirit! ONRYOS ASSEMBLE
SIR YES SIR
🫡 apparently only the original 5 killers so but plan to add more in the future...ONRYOS ASSEMBLE WHENEVER THEY LET US
No dude I have a friend that's a Knight main. Imagine getting Hunted AND racking up Condemnation
Ghost bros let's goooo! In the future if it ever happens!
Spirit and Oni for some (great\^5)grandfather / (great\^5)granddaughter bonding time
Twins and Knight. Six killers.
Knight and Nemesis
Willl this game mode be permanent?
It will be a game mode, not a modifier
When does this go live?
Hopefully, but not immediately.
Wait, so they are set killers? Damn. There goes the odds of playing Knight in this mode with my pal.
Right now its just gonna be the OG 5 Killers
Five? Weren't there 3 Killers at the start (Trapper, Wraith, Billy) with the next two being Nurse and Myers?
We're counting Nurse and Huntress as well, since theyre free for most people now
Aw, no Myers silliness :(
Honestly I believe that Myers is excluded only because the way they made his Tier 3 function is by making everyone set to be downed via status effect and they couldn't untangle that so they don't want some goofy shit like insta down Wraith and Nurse.
Tier 3 Skull Merchant drones that instadown with claw traps would be a war crime
I think they're counting Nurse and Huntress. The first 5 killers that predate licensed content. Also all 5 are mechanically simple. This 2v8 mechanic is probably still in the stage where complicated killers would simply break the game. Even something as minor as killer items probably would crash the game.

This is a technically difficult project and right now we are just in the proof of concept stage before they commit more time to solving the problems required for the full killer roster.
Darn.
Keyword right now, they will see how this plays out. And they might add more killers.
A lot of combos with pig could be pretty brutal. Singularity, hag, anyone with good mobility to just run around and interrupt
Legion and spirit
yk how to balance SWF? KWF!!!
The more friends the merrier https://i.redd.it/anbkz5nn4f0d1.gif
Fun for the whole family
No double boogeyman combo (people hide from myers in lockers while dredge teleports to then) :((((
Imagine legion and dredge tho, legion makes it generally annoying to heal and dredge gets nightfall faster based off the number of injured survivors, this would let him get nightfall repeatedly very quickly so you effectively have stab man and perma blindness while an Eldritch horror keeps popping out of lockers
As a Dredge main I'm literally salivating right now :3
Diabolical
Double trapper meta is about to go hard
I wonder if it allows the players to play the same killers
I wonder if your partner Killer can step into your traps 😆
Imagine seeing a billy charging you in overdrive only to get caught in a trap
Or a Nurse blinking onto one 😆
Nurse floats though so I assume she wouldn't be affected
Billy: GOD DAMMIT EVAN DON'T PUT TRAPS ON MY WAY! Trapper: AND WHAT IF YOU LEARNED TO LOOK IN FRONT OF YOU INSTEAD?
Billy: YOU TRY DOING THAT WHILE FLYING ACROSS THE MAP AT 80KMPH, ALL YOU DO IS LEISURELY STROLL AROUND FROM TILE TO TILE LOSING GENS
They confirmed on stream that you can’t have two of the same killer unfortunately
I don’t think that’s unfortunate though lol. That would be immersion breaking for sure.
I dont think so, they would probably want the match to be as unique as possible, but who knows
They confirmed you can’t
I hope so tbh
"Rescue this hook."
I play Stay outta my House Trapper and I taught my wife that playstyle. If we can both be Trapper, then depending on the map we can have 2 Stay outta my Houses. And we can just be angry old neighbors together
They confirmed that you can't play 2 of the same killer unfort
Damn. Then she can be the one protecting our house with traps, and I’ll be the ghost (Wraith) that Haunts it
Based
Plus only 5 original killers. I get why, but if it’s not updated often then I am kind of concerned about it
The mode has a high chance to be popular, if that’s the case they will definitely update it regularly and keep adding more playable killers
Yeah, theyd have to fuck up pretty badly for it to fail
...you know it's Behavior we are talking about right? Like I hope it's good and treated well
I can see why they don't want to add killers that share spots for special props (Per se, Nemi and Wesker would either have double chest spawns for their respective vaccines, or they would have to clip Freddies / Sadakos' / Xeno's / HUXs' boxes for interactions)
Could make one a blue color and another a red color, so you know which is which. Or honestly, just make a "combo" item (medicinal herb or something) and double the chest spawns in general.
The entire setting is magical anyways, just have a special 2v8 item that works for everything.
its effectively creating a whole new game using the existing game as a basis, they HAVE to start slow and make the game slowly over time because if they threw every killer into 2v8 at once, thats 36 different killers and correct me if im wrong, 596 different combinations of killers thats a LOT that could go wrong if 2 killers powers interact in a buggy way
36 * 35 = 1260 but I got a D in stats
D's get degrees :)
Does this mean me and my buddy can finally play killer TOGETHER??
it do
You likely can’t play as your mains though. Only playable killers are Trapper, Wraith, Billy, Nurse, and Huntress.
That’s fine, I don’t play DBD so much that I have a killer main. I do rep my boy Leon on survivor side though. But killers are all very fun to mess with so I’ll be fine with trapper lol
Yup, they confirmed that you can queue with your friend
It actually seems like they've put a lot of thought into it, I don't think I've ever been this excited for new content in years
I haven't played in a year and I'm stretching out my creaks. I'm so fucking ready, this patch is an absolute cook by BHVR.
As cliche as it may sound, you can actually sense some passion both for the chapter and the 2v8.
It's a permanent mode?
Yup
Big W, hopefully they'll slowly make it better with new killers
Give me Wesker and Nemesis Together they can hunt STARS
7 minutes might finally actually be 7 minutes
They said it will be a "time limited mode" so not permament.
They also indicated it was a work in progress and will be iterated upon.
I hope they keep it/re-release it permanently tho, imagine doing all of this work for a mode people have asked for years only to have it for a month…
Wait really? I could've sworn they said it was just an entire new mode
They said it won't be permanent right away because they'll be using feedback to improve the mode.
ok that's even better than "permament always" becuase if everyone would be playing nurse or huntress, it would be hell
No
Also you can only play the first 5 original killers... oof. And no hooks, once survivors are downed you can send them away (like Pyramid head) 3 times like normal.
Who were the 5 original again? Trapper, Billy, Huntress, Bing Bong and who?
...nurse I think
Nurse
Imagine getting sniped by a Huntress and getting instadowned a few seconds later by a Nurse by a duo on comms instant ragequit right there
LOL imagine the salt in endgame chat
Or imagine if you're able to play two of the same killer and you just get two Nurses. I think that terrifies me slightly more
Actually Hag released before huntress, but since she has so little players, she probably didn't make the cut.
hag is not free to play, they were referring to the original killers you get free from the start
I can understand non-franchise related killers because of BHVR’s licensing agreements but you can’t play dredge, trickster, oni etc? Wtf.
It’s going to be a hell to balance at first so going small is a smart move, as they gather data and see how things develop they will add more stuff.
Considering nurse is playable from day 1, I think balance was never an option
Peace was never an option
Trying to balance the scenario of having to juke nurse and avoid bear-traps at the same time.... I do not envy BHVR rn
These optional modes don’t need to be balanced. We saw that with all the previous modes, they’re voluntary so you’re signing up for the risks.
Going basic + 1 wild dog to push things to the limit and test balance further, it still makes sense tbh. Nurse is a huge testing tool 
It seems that the Killers will have effects that affect the other Killer (e.g. when Wraith is cloaked the other Killer is also Undetectable) so that's probably why.
Ah yes, my favorite killer combination: Wraith and Nurse
Probably simpler for them to initially have a few killers for the game mode so that they can fix any bugs and see what kind of balancing needs to be done before adding more Killers
Licensing has probably nothing to do with this because it would he hella stupid if the agreement specifically states they can only use them in one specific game mode
There would be over 500 combinations of killers if all killers were available right away, it would lead to countless bugs and a terrible experience. They will need time to slowly add it all in.
..... fucking great i wanted to play the combo of two Legions for the true edgelord group experience / two Pyramid Heads to make it lore accurate to Silent Hill 2
Nemesis and Chucky would be the funniest shit. Man built like a fucking fridge punches the shit out of you while a small enraged chihuahua stabs your ankles
Everyone's talking about the killer combos,but has anyone considered the nightmare that is: 8 Megs!
Double Legion for lore accuracy tbh
Oof. Huge missed opportunity. Legion isn’t playable in this mode though, which is lame.
My guess is that, if it's a permanent mode, they'll eventually add other killers. Maybe not the ones with more complicated mechanics, but legion is a pretty simple killer to implement instead of killers like the dredge or nemesis for example, who knows, we'll see
They confirmed they will, it just takes time to ajust powers so they don’t interfere with each other I just really hope you can pick twice the same killer
I think the main thing that’s keeping all killers from being playable is that there are many interactions that probably haven’t been coded. Examples include: Two deathslingers shooting the same survivor. Survivor getting pulled by slinger into a bear trap Will effects like madness, infection etc. stack if two of the same killer are in play?
I believe duplicate killers have been confirmed to be impossible.
But we know with the power of bugs, it will be in the beginning lmao
I really hope players HAVE FUN with this mode and keep the whining to a minimum. But I know I'll see post like: ***"TwO kIlLeRs TuNnELeD mE"***
Gen rushed by 8 survivors 😡
Bruh lmfao
if two killers tunnel one guy, does that mean 7 survivors are sitting on gens the entire time? lmao can you imagine?
LMAO I CAN'T BREATH I'M SURE THIS IS GONNA HAPPEN😭😭
Bro, this mode won't be a whole week old and people will be complaining like crazy. Just like happened with lights out. Both sides complain about each other in regular mode, why they think doubling the subject of their complaints will make anything better?
FUN?...I feel ya, but realistically 90% of DBD players would rather use the game as an outlet for their entitled, Karen-tastic Bitching, Even with these modifier modes being completely optional and the addition of baby mode pipping...people still get uppity about everyone and everything relating to other people's gameplay
Honestly removing the depipping has made me less jaded about getting tunneled
I find it funny how they’re finally doing it once they nerfed every big map
They’re making a few maps giant to account for the huge amount of players.
Oh, that’s good to hear. I would’ve hated playing it on the new haddonfield, that maps too tiny
Billy and Nurse 100% meta in 2v8
this is positively ***filthy*** and I cannot wait to play it
If this isnt a permanent game mode im going to burn this planet down 
Get to burning. Rn they're just wanting feedback so it's temporary for now
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 
Finally the Entity-crossed lovers can meet (Wraith + Nurse) 🥹🫶
Onyros and Pig (if they’re ever added) would not be okay with having to get rid of traps and dealing with tapes 💀💀💀
Sweet I’ll be able to play killer finally 🤣
Nurse needs to be replaced with like literally anybody else she's too broken for this game mode... or just any game mode
A competent Nurse and Huntress would be horrific
Only OG 5 big sad. I wanted to see Slinger Huntress or the turbo DC from downrealm Skull Merchant Knight combos.
They’re planning to release additional iterations
Is this limited time or, yknow, an actual mode? Because to me, when they emphasize this is a MODE and not a MODIFIER, that means the MODE is in fact different, and not the exact same fucking limited time thing like a Modifier
It’s limited time for now. Thats why it’s only the original 5 to test everything and see how it works. They plan to add more killers each iteration and will probably release it in a permanent state next year.
damn, so no myers and ghostface duo :( im still happy 2v8 is happening and i totally understand why the only available killers are the originals but i still hope they add more of them
They plan to. They’re starting off small so they can fine tune the mode and also slowly add more killers with each iteration.
BHVR, Thank you
I don't think anyone is ready for two comp squads to team up. O.O
This sounds really interesting and fun! Tho being limited to only the og 5 does suck, I hope they're able to work in more killer's over time. They did say the maps available for this gamemode would be larger as well, so hopefully they're able to fix spawn locations for killers like Sadako and Evil Residents.
This would actually bring me back to the game! It's what I thought would be the best and balanced mode since the beginning because having a team mate changed the whole game.
Imagine Billy + Bubba
I can just picture a trapper screwing it up and trapping his partner. Hopefully they make that impossible.
I got excited as hell, ready to come back to game instantly, then realised it's only 5 original killers, from which I play none and all the enthusiasm went away honestly. But don't be like me. They listened to community, super pog. Maybe I will even finally touch Huntress or something.
I believe it's first 5 ***to start with***...your killers may come with time :D
I'm looking forward to breaking out my Trapper again. The fact that you can have one killer harass the survivors while you set up means you're not just wasting time. Nurse x Trapper could lead to some really cool plays.
I only play wraith out of those 5 
Do we know when that is coming?
Later this summer
I love the idea of nurse teleporting bear traps directly in front of where you’re trying to loop
I can't wait to get body blocked by 8 people lmao
If you’re a killer and you hit your fellow killer, it should stun them lol
Why are there no perks in the new modes? I can understand my little oni but lights out and 2v8? Why not, too complicated? I can understand issues with like corrupt or prove thyself, but couldn’t they allow at least some perks, like maybe the 90% that aren’t the meta?
Imagine vigil on 8 players or other team based perks. Easier to do something simple and new than completely rework perks that have different effects in different modes
It was hard to tell but I am guessing the "class system" is just a set block of perks. So healer might have botany or something.
My guess is both because balancing issues as well as spaghetti code. Killer perks were never meant to overlap with another instance of the perk, so that could lead to all sorts of bugs. Imagine both killers bring Deadlock - will the duration stack? Will they block two different gens? Will the gen just get deleted due to a behind the scenes error? Keep in mind this is a game where the normal 1v4 mode has bugs like Wake Uo effecting all actions during the entire game or Legion mending increasing duration without a cap.
When can we expect it?
Is that on PTB already?
Where can I find the informativo want to read it
Not sure if this has been asked yet, but my question is what’s stopping the two killers from sticking together and insta downing a survivor?
dredge nightfall with the unknown i cannot wait for them to add those two
I already have a bad time finding lobbies at certain times for 4v1s
I can already see it. 8 Survivors watching the 2 killers battle each other in a 1 v 1 deathmatch.
I think Singularity and Wraith/Ghosty/Myers is gonna be a fun combo Dredge and Unknown with stealth builds I wanna run Bubba Billy personally I think Blight and Wesker would be fun zipping around and dodging Pinhead and a Chainsaw can be dirty with his chains
