For anyone eager to jump into the Dead by Daylight 2v8 game mode, this is your chance to take on two Killers with a large group of friends as you race to complete generators. The gameplay works very differently, however, and there are now classes for Survivors.
Play Every 2v8 SURVIVOR Class in Dead by Daylight's Limited Time Mode
These classes offer a unique variety of skills and talents that you can bring to your team. What you choose to play will vary from game to game, but there are a handful of choices to consider, each with different abilities that you can utilize while playing Dead by Daylight's 2v8 game mode. You'll want to discuss what they need with your seven other teammates so that you can overcome the onslaught of the two Killers.
There are four different classes you can choose from when choosing to play as a Survivor: Escapist, Guide, Medic, or Scout. Each has a different playstyle, which makes for a different gameplay experience during a Dead by Daylight match. Much like a standard Dead by Daylight game, all classes have four abilities they can use, with one available to unlock. With a team of eight Survivors, it helps to ensure at least one player is one of these four classes, ensuring both Killers are defeated before they get everyone else.
All classes have four skills: a Team Skill, an Aura Skill, an Innate Skill, and an Unlockable Skill. The Unlockable Skill is not available at the start of a match, but you can use it later as the match progresses.
