Dead by Daylight’s 2v8 mode is all well and good until you’re in the Killer queue. With or without a premade, the Killer queue can be quite long, but you might be wondering just how long. We have the answer.

Dead by Daylight’s 2v8 mode’s Killer queue can vary, but not significantly, and is largely inflated by the fact that most players simply don’t want to play as Survivors. Developer Behaviour Interactive even attempted to incentivize players by offering a 400 percent increase in match Bloodpoints to Survivors, which helped somewhat, though the issue persists.

Depending on the Killer you select and the time of day, your queue times should look something like this:

These are anecdotal estimates based on my queue times on July 31st, and your experience may vary. But it shouldn’t be too far off, especially if you choose a Killer like The Huntress, who is arguably the most popular option in 2v8 mode. My queue times with The Huntress have been around 10 minutes or more recently. Survivor queues are typically under 30 seconds, so while it’s an unpopular choice, you can get into matches faster.
