This should be a permanent mode, no question.

[@TLtheDude]

It will be, this 1st couple of weeks is technically the beta for it

[@brainyboy5899]

It is going to be they are testing it. With 5 killers first then gonna be added more

[@SmihoTvor_lite]

😮

[@eltigre4569]

It’ll be a reoccurring mode, while it’s gone they’ll work on adding more killers & whatnot then it’ll return.

[@gabrielwinter1112]

I want this to be permanent. Hopefully, I can play Doctor in this game mode soon!!!!

Was thinking the same thing, why did they double everything except for the amount of gens 🤦‍♂️

[@kratosthe1st]

8 Gens though, they need to make that at least 10, we are going to end up with everyone not wanting to play killer again.

[@estrelaplatinada6506]

nuh uh, i agree BUTT when more killers come back it will be the reverse, and for now all you need its strategy.

[@thedutywarlord264]

@@estrelaplatinada6506 there is literally no strategy with gens speed . One killer already struggle against 4 survivors with 5 gens so imagine 2 killers with 8 gens . It must be 10 gens .

Literally when I saw they only had to do 8 I was like that makes no sense

[@notpolarzz]

Survivors have always been able to play with friends, this is the first time for killers So loads of people will want to try playing killer with their friends So in order to get enough survivor players to fill lobbies, survivor will have to be stronger than normal

[@bubbadeaux9625]

I think 8 is fair. Unless the maps are Acually twice as big which I don’t think they sized it to that scale

It's limited time so they can gather feedback to improve the permanent version of this game mode.

they said this ages ago that the first time was gonna be temporary so they could tweak the balance so a permanent mode can be fun. If it's really unbalanced and permanent, it's gonna stop being fun in a matter of a few days.

looks super survivor sided, and without gen regression this is a killer nightmare

[@speedie_7]

There should be 10 generators, if 4v1 there were 5, and the killers didn't sacrifice anyone (maybe 1 or 2)

[@STARLEYMAYHEM]

Right

[@iHemerald_]

Exactly this OR gens should get 120 seconds to complete instead of 90 like normal but with still 8 gens (120 or 110)

[@linussyren9221]

I wish they just made it default with two killers and all killers available. Even perk less with addons only be rad. And 10 generators ofc

[@siredquinn]

No.

[@EchoYoutube]

Slugging is going to be a big problem in this. 1. Self care for survivors should get swapped for a single perk of their choice. 2. One innate perk for each killer should also get replaced with a perk choice like survivors should get. 3. More gens. It's much too easy for survivors(unless killers decide to slug) 4. Cages should force spawn away from survivors instead of being able to spawn near them. Way too many free incidents where killers get punished for stomping a survivor into a cage near a gate and also a teammate(especially in end game). 5. Survivors should have leeway to interrupt killers during stomp with flashlights/flashbangs. Right now, flashlights are borderline useless except for the small moment of pallet breaks, and even then it's just redundant with sound-whoring and a second killer cutting you off on the other side. Point of all of this? Customizability for killers and survivors for more unique games, better balancing for both sides, less unpredictability in stomping that can outright punish killers instead of reward their kills, and balancing items. Whether my ideas are loose or not, the problems are there. I really want this mode to be permanent, and solid changes are going to need to happen.

[@siredquinn]

I don’t agree with 5.

[@EchoYoutube]

@@siredquinn I mean, it's SOME counterplay considering they can double team you.. almost zero escape capabilities or reshifting the tempo if you can't even save a downed teammate from two killers who just W key after. I understand the idea of an 8 man flashlight squad being horrible or something, but you could even bodyblock with a teammate as a killer to protect the stomp or outright just keep hitting people if they try to come in for a save. Either way, flashlights are just trash in this completely.

[@siredquinn]

@@EchoKZbin no ty 😭

[@MauChaza]

​@EchoKZbin Yeah, there's a reason why all the clips were from the huntress, that nurse was doing nothing pretty much, when u actually have 2 useful killers, the "send to cage" is boring af. No interaction, there's no way to lose there as a killer, and that's empty. Stay normal and classic, hook survivors manually, even as a killer in the end game you may want to hook them and secure the kill, hook them far away from the exit gates, but the game just randomly sends them anywhere, that can easily be right next to the other survivors next to another gate, giving them free save.. Pretty boring both sides

[@d.m.darkmatter8286]

To the people asking why Hillbilly was nerfed bur Nurse was buffed in this mode. I'll try to come up with an explanation. I'm guessing Hillbilly, since he can Instadown, he can harass multiple Survivors at once, due to his high mobility, it being able to be a chase power and since Overheat is no longer I thing he can chain downs if multiple Survivors are nearby eachother. Nurse on the otherhand, although yes she is very powerful, due to her fatigue and because of the increased blink there's probably an increased fatigue, she can't harass Survivors as well as a Hillbilly would be able to. She still has her slow walk speed, and because of the double the amount of Survivors it's probably easy to overwhelm her, taking hits or gathering to create too many scratch marks for her to properly follow. TLDR; Billy would have really good snowball potential, and even though Nurse might also have it, it wouldn't be as good as a regular Chainsaw Billy

[@thedutywarlord264]

@@d.m.darkmatter8286 there's 8 survivors even if billy can instadown survivors can only heal themselves when they are in death hook and nurse can also put a huge pressure because shes the strongest killer in the game . They shouldn't nerf billt in the 2vs8 mode

[@d.m.darkmatter8286]

@@thedutywarlord264 I mean fair. Yeah I'm not denying she's strong, but with double the survivors her fatigue will put her out of a job for a little while. More so if you know the little tricks with countering her, say all 8 Survivors do, which isn't probably true but its fair that at least half or more do, she's gonna be in her fatigue more often than not, Billy doesn't have that stun time

[@FoxyFurryFallenfire]

Nurse need scratch marks to see survivor ???? Like wtf you just have 3 tp no need to see scratch marks to put them down

[@heyolorenns]

Who gives a fuck. Give Billy his instadown. Billy isn’t even that good against a good swf in 4v4

That's true, the outcome will prob be the same each match. Killer will lose cause survivor efficiency would be too high.

[@HEXdankmemes]

@@NeoThorne i havent seen much, but the two games they showcased on reveal livestream, and in this video, more than half survivors EASILY escapes XD its gonna be such a sweat fest for the killers while survivors chill. but its supposed to be a casual gamemode so whatever i guess, its gonna bother ppl who like to play to win though

[@ShamerGamerJM]

@@HEXdankmemes yeah this seems like if killers are gonna be losing this bad constantly it's probably just not gonna be fun for a lot of killers pretty quickly unless you're pretty much only playing with a friend or something where you can properly co-ordinate

[@levisays7676]

I feel you are all being too harsh, I feel it's fairly well balanced, the extra 2 gens would make it way to hard to finish an would guarantee 8k everytime, as things stand killer's will be able to have a fairly good match while still having a few survivors escape it shouldn't need to be a full team wipe to be considered a W

[@NeoThorne]

@@levisays7676 No you don't get it. In a ordinary match, there 4 survivors in a match and only 5 have to be done. 8 survivors don't have to do 10 gens, just 8. This is awful, will be very bad for killer just wait and see.

imagine being teabagged by 8 survivors at the exit gate though lol, seems survivor sided

[@unworldlygoblin]

as a survivor main i really hope ks dont start taking this game mode super seriously. hopefully this game mode can just be fun and people dont turn it into competitive matches during causal games . Survivors as well lets just have fun with this 😊

[@mint5438]

Looks like the best case scenario is two survivors being pressured at once with nobody assisting. So even if another two go off to save/heal, thats 4 survivors working on gens completely free. I have a feeling finding killers in this gamemode is gonna be half of the battle.

While I agree that they do favor survivors, especially in this mode, I don't think what you're talking about specifically is an example of that. All survivors play the same way and are essentially just skins. Killers all play differently. I'm sure their decision to limit the amount of killers was more to test out the balance of different killer combinations and less about giving a middle finger to killers.
