Dead by Daylight 2v8: All Killer Classes

Dead by Daylight's 2v8 mode will soon be returning, and this time, developers have added some enhancements to improve upon the first iteration. One of the upcoming changes is that, much like survivors, killers will be able to choose their own class that affects their gameplay. Here are all the killer classes in Dead by Daylight's 2v8 mode, as well as what each one does.

Dead by Daylight 2v8: All Killer Classes

There are four killer classes in Dead by Daylight's 2v8 mode:

• Shadow: This class focuses on the element of surprise, encouraging stealthy plays from killers.
• Brute: A chase-focused class, Brute allows killers to easily injure survivors during tense moments.
  
• Enforcer: This class focuses on finishing off survivors that their partner has already injured. In other words, the Enforcer is designed to go in for the kill.
• Fearmonger: Killers with this class tend to stay hidden throughout the match, similar to Shadow, but their strength comes most in their map mobility.

How Do Killer Classes Work?

Each killer can choose one class before each 2v8 match, and two killers cannot choose the same class. Killer classes work much like survivor classes, in that they impact the killer's gameplay and give them some unique buffs depending on which one is chosen.

All killers are able to use any of the classes available, regardless of their unique ability. You could easily combine a stealth killer with a stealth class like Shadow or Fearmonger to enhance their ability, or you could switch things up by pairing them with the Brute or Enforcer classes to patch up their weak spots.

In addition to these upcoming changes, there will also be more available maps for survivors and killers to explore, as well as new playable killers. Players will be able to try out Dead by Daylight's updated 2v8 mode from 12 November 2024 until 26 November 2024.
