Oh, we will. Not that BHVR is going to listen to us now if they didn't during the PTB, but we will.

Thank you! I promise you, we're here to listen and bring feedback back to the team. While perspectives on a given chance can differ widely across the community, our role on the Community Team is to bring those different perspectives together for the team so they can see the big picture.

Terrible change. I don't know why you went through with this, from what I have seen on the PTB feedback section negative feedback to positive feedback was like 10 to 1.
This is just a net negative change. It makes the game less immersive, it makes the game harder to understand especially for newer players, the wording is more clunky. The only advantage I can think off is that searching for perks by their text is more consistent, but that does not remotely remove all the harm it does.
I am genuinely so upset over this, this is just a bad change.

Are there any specific examples where you feel the updated perk descriptions are harder to understand?

Was wondering how itd turn out because they said they were debating on it. I think this is the actual answer not very sure but from testing it does work again and the description actually matches. So heres hoping.

You're correct! The interaction between this add-on and perk is now more clearly framed as an intended effect.

Hi @Mandy, about the pallets - did devs delete indoor maps pallets that would always spawn on purpose or is it just a bug?

Lemme hop in here for Mandy :) This is a known bug that's been resolved across most indoor maps. The team's still investigating and keeping an eye on it, though, as Midwich still seems to be encountering some spawn issues.

Thanks folks! There's a lot of great feedback for me to work through! The intention behind these tonics is to add another layer to the 2v8 gameplay for both roles, so it helps to get both perspectives.

I'd love to dig into something I've seen mentioned a little. How do folks feel about the ratio of available Diluted vs. Purified Tonics in a given match?

in Let us know what you think about 2v8's tonics! Comment by ThatRyanB February 12, 2026

Hey folks! We looked into this today and there were no changes made to pallet density with this update.

If any of you are personally seeing more pallets in your matches, then we definitely want to look into that as a bug. Most importantly, we'd need your game logs and - if possible - video footage to investigate. SO! If you're seeing more pallets than normal, please submit a report to BetaHub, here:

Thanks a ton for your help!

First of all, I want to say that the Torchbearer update made the game more intense and pretty entertaining, but there are still a few things I’d like to point out. As a survivor player, I like that we got more safe zones and that survivors can be saved from the killer. At the same time, as a killer player, I feel like we’ve become much weaker, since killer classes don’t help that much.
Since there are five classes for survivors, it might be a good idea to reduce the maximum number of players who can pick the same class from 4 to 3, or maybe even 2. That way, survivors would have to adapt to different playstyles and team compositions. There would be less gen-rushing, and chases would still stay interesting.
Secondly, I saw someone mention that the current number of flashlights isn’t enough, but I actually think it’s fine or it could even be fewer. That class already has flashbangs available throughout the match anyway, and you can still find flashlights in chests. This would help balance the class compared to the others. For killers, it would also make matches flow better, since survivors would have to spend more time checking chests and be slightly less focused on generators. In a lot of my games, survivors manage to finish three or even more generators at the same time at the beginning of the match, and as a killer you can’t really do much about it right now.
One more thing: while tonics for the survivor side are pretty cool, I still wish killers had more boons and not just haste.

There's a lot of interesting feedback to unpack here. Thanks for sharing (and I appreciate you coming at it from both role POVs)! I wanted to come back to that last point, actually. Is there a different tonic boon for Killers that you would prefer over Haste?
