Quick Links
There are many famous horror series in games, from Amnesia to Bioshock to Silent Hill. And withDead By Daylightpositioning itself as a horror hall of fame, it only makes sense that they would team up with them to deliver their signature styles of horror.
What is 2v8?
Dead By Daylight’s 2v8 Modifieris very simple:double the Killers, double the Survivors, double the fun. Neither side has access to Perks, Items, or Add-ons; the Maps are bigger than normal; and there are more Generators to complete (or defend).
What’s New In Resident Evil 2v8?
This version of 2v8 has a few new quirks.During your Trials in 2v8: Resident Evil, you’ll find Green and Yellow Herbs hidden around the map.Finding these Herbs will allow Survivors to restore health and undo Hook States, while Killers can consume them to gain a Haste effect.
In addition,three new Killers have been added to the roster:The Nemesis, The Mastermind (aka Wesker), and The Legion.
