What should players expect from 2v8?

Each iteration of 2v8 continues to refine the Mode’s balance and gameplay based on player feedback and in-game data. This round kicks off with two Killers receiving some 2v8-specific buffs and nerfs to hone their experience.

Game Updates

• The Deathslinger Buff: This buff aims at improving his overall effectiveness, including reduced penalties when reloading and missing shots, allowing for smoother, more consistent gameplay.
• The Oni Nerf: Done to rein in his dominance, with an increased uptime reduction after successfully downing a Survivor in Demon Mode.
• New Cage system updates: Introduced to improve the 2v8 Survivor experience, the bleed-out timer now pauses for a short time when a Cage relocates, giving Survivors more space to coordinate rescues. Cage relocation time has also been reduced to maintain match pacing and encourage more active teamwork from survivors.
• Map Rotation: The 2v8 Map rotation also continues to grow with the addition of Temple of Purgation and Ironworks of Misery. Both Maps have been specifically adjusted to accommodate 2v8 gameplay.
