So, imagine this: there’s this wild idea floating around about letting Legion and Ghostface totally ignore a big rule in Dead by Daylight’s 2v8 mode. Yeah, sounds nuts, right? Changing rules for just a couple of characters? I mean, who does that unless there’s like a huge reason. And hey, this 2v8 thing isn’t broken or anything, but there’s one tiny reason why breaking this one rule might be a good idea. But, as always, there’d be a whole mess of side effects, some not so pretty. Yet, considering it? Maybe worth it.
Alright, so the 2v8 Mode, which popped up last year (I think?), twists the game around a bit. You get two Killers and eight Survivors. Makes for a chaotic party, right? More folks to chase, more things to fix—it’s a whole thing. They swap out perks for classes. And, get this, only specific killers get in, and you can’t double up on them. Yeah, seems tricky, but trust me, folks have come up with some wild combos!
Now, hold on a sec—let’s talk about Legion and Ghostface. The Legion’s like this gang of four, but usually, it’s a one-at-a-time deal in the trial. So, 2v8 could let them gang up together for real, but the current rules slam the door on that idea. Ghostface? Yeah, he’s the lone ranger here, but you can’t forget that many versions of him are a team effort. Imagine multiple Ghostfaces sneaking around, right? But… still a no-go under current rules.
Oh, fun fact—Mortal Kombat 1’s Ghostface got multiple peeps under the mask, too. Kind of a neat parallel, yeah?
Anyway—no, wait, where was I? Oh, right. If they lifted that rule? Chaos would rain. Like, two Legions with their Frenzy thing would probably send Survivors into a frenzy of their own—mending left and right. Two Ghostfaces might try to hide and jump out at you, but eight pairs of eyes would probably spot them eventually. So, not as crazy as, say, two Nurses teleporting everywhere, but still a wild ride.
Here’s a curveball: not everyone’s gonna cheer if this happens. Some folks already get riled up playing Legion—mending all the time drives them bonkers. It could mess up the flow of a match, drag it on, and make everyone grumble. Two Legions? Could dilute their weaknesses, you know, like map control and stuff. Makes sense for their story but, in reality, might ruffle feathers.
All in all, it’s a kind of “could-be-fun” thing. For a special event, maybe? Legion fans would probably be hyped, but oh boy, the game’s balance would be wobbly at best. Could it work now? Hard to say. But maybe, just maybe, next time they fire up a 2v8, they’ll throw in some Killer doubles. Just a thought.
