My best match on "Lights Out" modifier | Dead by Daylight 

I feel bad for Freddy not being invited to the event

2:50 that scream is *terrifying* good work from the VA.

There is nothing more terrifying than someone shooting meatballs at you in the dark.

5:06 Singularity really said "Didn't ask" 😂

4:19 I just noticed the binary in the singularity camera UI and I translated it. Turns out it translates to "entity". Super cool detail!

I hope they add this to Customs.

As a killer, I found myself playing over 70% my matches in lights out. I usually will play 5-10 matches with a different killer each game, then get off. I also found myself much more immersed, and not focused on the gens, survivor health states, etc, but just playing for the chase. It was much less stressful, and actually felt like I was playing a horror game, not a party game.

I love how otz says "ggs!" and immediately leaves the lobby so he doesn't risk his positive perception of the match be sullied by possibly bad losers lol

I enjoyed how useful sound was in this event. Often I could hear survivors before I saw them. This gave a new utility to Plague, Legion and Huntress as they excel at quickly injuring and pressuring injured survivors

I think it'd be sick, when a variant of this mode comes back in the future, if they allowed survivors to bless totems to create illuminated areas inside the boon radius. Just to add some kinda unique light vs darkness gameplay.

As a killer main i really enjoyed this mode, especially as pyramid head since it felt like we were trapped in Silent hill.

Xenomorph was the most fun to play as and against in this mode, just with the turrets giving some agency back to the survivors.

Every single one of my killer games went the exact same: one person died early on, I catch two of them together and hook them both, and then I catch the final person before they got hatch. I played like six or seven lights out games as killer and only one of them went differently, and it was that the final survivor found hatch.

I liked not having to think about perks or addons, it was sooo nice. At the same time, I won almost game I played as killer and lost hard every game as survivor. It didn’t help that people mostly picked killers that are really strong in this mode.

I feel honored i got to play against oz ! It was so fun

If this is what bhvr considers to be their "gold standard" for LTMs, i think we're in trouble. If thid is just them findng out whst they can and cant do, then im cautiously optimistic

I played this mode entirely solo and I loved it, in fact I had pretty much given up DBD until this mode (I played maybe 1-2 matches a month if that) and I am now back to playing DBD daily due to this mode. I get why people hated it but for me it was refreshing and gave me a reason to actually play DBD again even if I died pretty much every time as surv

*It was a fun match from both sides!* ♥

I love that this one match so well remembered by it’s contains a Cheryl, they’re the best! I 🧡 CherylMains!

I played lights out only, I had a lot of fun, I think it would even better if you couldn't see your power on hud, most killers have visual indicatros if they are charged up etc. I really liked that the mode was putting way more of your focus on environment and the details

I had a really fun time playing as and against Meyers! Legion was rough to go against :(

This event had me feeling like a lore accurate xeno the whole time

Wow, the biopods have a large sight area, that's op.

Coffee and Otz! What a comfy morning :)

I played pig for most of it. Its insane how fun it was to switch up targets and do reads on people, especially with the drill melee that has a loud attack noise

I was the Haddie from the intro, all my teammates DCed, Otz gave me door, that is the best memory I have made in this entire game

I played a Singularity match on Lery's with Lights Out and it was surprisingly fun. It's the only time I've had fun on that map while playing Singu.

0:30 Had a similar thing happen to me,coincidentaly on Lery's too Playing Alien and one of them gave up and offed themselves in a hook,and the other three would gradually disconnect after a painfully long match

I'm not one to jump on the "killer sided/survivor sided" argument, but this game mode? I don't think I had a single match where all five gens were done. It was a 4k or hatch escape. Every match. I gave up on this game mode so fast.

I didnt get the chance, but really wanted to try trapper on this map. Feels like you could actually hide his traps pretty well E: map->game mode

No FTP + Buckle up, and other free endurance perks was one of if not the BEST part of this Modifier.

the new killer is gonna be like "hello friends my name is Otz and I'm creeping around on all fours in the shadows"

Dredge in this mode is fun lol it’s like having your power 24/7 minus the fast recharge and silhouettes

8:08 Wasnt there a bp bonus of 50% for killer and 150% for survivor? Is this added right in the match or after the match when all the bp are getting counted?

Maaaaaan I'm still so sad I missed the chance to be in your lobby because of a crash :( Thanks for making this whole thing absolutely incredible and funny to us Mr Otz ♥

I wish more people tried out chunky because of his footsteps with his power active.

14:55 This voice line was the icing on the cake.

I remember my best game on survivor was the very first one i played - Duo Queue with ignorant teammates vs. Myers. I beleieve i flashlight and grab saved one of them 3 or 4 times 😂. It was all in good fun though; i ended up getting facecamped in the end because the killer wasnt too happy about me playong super altruistically, but i was his only kill. Best match on killer was one that came after a long string of demo matches on yamaoka (i got the same map 6 times in a row and just stopped playing nicely- primarily by just playing in a comp playstyle because i was bored). It was a group of comp players that i recognized some of the people on their friends lists. Ended up playing it seriously and having a great back and forth with them, and in the end i got everyone. It was a pretty nice boost in confidence that we all took each other seriously and played well, and obviously because i had fun and so did they, i ended up letting the last two survivors out after downing them.

Lights out was a breath of fresh air honestly, I found myself actually getting scared as survivor and not being incredibly stressed as killer for the first time is quite a while, I don’t doubt they’ll bring it back but I do wish it stuck around longer

I had much fun at the Event on both Sides

i think its not a bad dev direction to try out new stuff, i like if we have modes from time to time that don't have to be seen as competitive as usually. i got spooked a lot in this mode and people were a lot more chill. also i liked that it just went a week and that they put it in a new queue slot and did not replace the normal queue

This mode feels good as a Survivor and a Killer. Long as the Killer is playing for fun and not Tunneling/Camping it brings the Horror aspect to life once more. No more teabagging. No more Locker Stun into Flashbang locks. No more bodyblocking with Endurance. No more 23rd 2nd chance perks. The stress and fear is back baby. Is it Killer-sided? Yes. But it is meant to be. You are called a Survivor for a reason and this mode reminds you what terror is.

At the end she was doing gen, bc it's faster that finding hatch on this mode. Hatch there i so quiet and of course can't see it in distance

with the new mode, wonder if they going to add back the moon offerings

Otz makes playing this killer look so easy and effortless, even in this mode, that's really incredible!

I played wesker and ranked up to Iridescent in 3 afternoons playing lights out i really liked it.

Whilst far from the strongest killer in this mode, I was a HUGE fan of playing Myers!! Getting to check where survivors are by stalking (since you could stalk beyond your view distance), and being able to be in T3 with no terror radius really gave it a jumpscare feeling! I really enjoyed this event overall, I'm excited to see what else comes next! (Also I hope they add the lights out modifier to custom games!!!)

I thoroughly enjoyed Lights Out. I’ve played DBD for 3 years now and I felt it was a refreshing and simplistic way to play the game. And I actually had some jump scares which felt good. I hope it stays!

Took a huge break from dbd and coming back to this was actually enjoyable I had a lot of fun especially when my last match I had a teabagiing clicky flashlight Kate who I surprised and downed then she gave up on hook

I played Knight for the most part during this event and it was just funny seeing survivors run into me while being chased by my followers

Lights Out was fantastic. I solo q mostly.

I love the idea and the precedent it sets, but there's room for improvement when it comes to modifiers. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

Honestly, by far the best part of lights out for me was the simple lack of flashlights, being able to pick up a survivor in the open without looking for people saving was so freeing.

Otz you should try the anti pallet breaking build: chemical trap, champion of light, alert, any means

I had A LOT of fun as sadako lol, not even going to elaborate beyond creepy tv girl in the dark popping up all over the place made many a survivor shit themself

Those guys were cracked for real! As Survivor I found it was the most painful thing ever. As killer it felt way too easy if you played nice (like Otz did here, 12 hook). I usually ended up meming with the survivors One game I did meme too hard as Sadako tho and got destroyed massively though.

the only one-sided survivor match I had was because it was doctor with a skin that you could see from a mile away lol

0:38 Otz accidentally sums up everyone's subconscious thoughts on DbD as a whole.

Skull merchant was really op in lights out. I could see survivors on my tracker easily😂❤

I know that there's some problems and Otz and this team worked together to make this a fun game, but this video honestly looked more fun then normal DBD. Like, besides removing all the annoying meta shit of waiting out dead hard and decisive and all that shit that makes DBD more tedious than intense, I just noticed that the game is so much more quiet. Without a loud noise notification every 5 seconds, the game's audioscape becomes a million times more intense. Just music, screams, pallet drops, and killer noises. It sounds so much more scary. If the base game/killers were more balanced, they spruced up the darkness to be a little more visually appealing/spooky, and they gave survivors a unique tool that only exists in this gamemode (maybe a mode exclusive item or something) I would legitimately think this is the better version of the game (and might actually make me tempted to reinstall).

Seems like everyone is loving the new "gamemode".

That final survivor might've been going for the achievment "Left For Dead" which is very difficult to get under normal circumstances, requiring you to complete the final generator and escape after everyone else is dead. Very unlikely outcome unless the Killer takes pity on you and lets you leave.

I had a great time as Xenomorph sneaking around and suddenly turning a corner and pulling people off of gens

This mode really needs to make a return, if not even become a regular mode. It was just too fun.

i genuinely loved Lights out, it was so much more fun than the regular game. there weren't 1,000 game mechanics to think about, it was just good old fashioned hide and seek. i think they could make it a permanent game mode if they just give survivors a few more extra tools to work with. the killer needs to be slightly less undetectable (they kept running directly into me all the time) and the survivors need to be able to hide a little better (it was extremely easy to find everyone due to injured sounds)

Wish they kept the mode. It was the only time I had fun in solo queue. It gave the game the horror theme feel.

Is this gamemode perfect? No but i do hope it returns with some slight tweaks. Like say every minute or so you get a flash of aura reading for both sides. Killer sees the survivors while survivors see the killer & teammates. Its just TOO much stripped info and the no perks just is asking for killers to tunnel. Also BHVR, please you should not be able to pip or lose pips in alt gamemodes.

I liked it on both roles even solo Q. I think tryhards don't like it, but as a casual player, it was tremendous fun. 😊

I really enjoyed playing both killer and soloQ survivor, even if I didn't escape often as survivor. I think the community just seems to be burnt out and jaded in general, I think I was the only person I knew who enjoyed it

Honestly if they did what they had removed, the offering that changed the lighting, instead of just a fog I think it would’ve been way better. Darkness vs just a black wall with the lighting practically unchanged.

I had fun with solo q lights out. I also didn't care if I escaped or not.

bare naked survivors is the name of my new band

I feel sad that people didn’t enjoy this event as much as I did. I enjoyed it so much more than the base game :)

RIP lights out

Dredge was actually rough, since emerging from lockers gives Survivors time to run, and without scratch marks...

Most fun I've ever had in dbd honestly.

when i played sing in lights out the last two survs decided they wanted to see what the hour-long match end looked like. sigh

No joke, my first game on this gamemode was me downing everyone within seconds as a bubba and then being called slurs in the endgame chat lol

My favorite moment was managing to flashlight save a teammate from Ghostface on Lery’s and getting tunneled and facecamped as a result. Good times.

Sadly this time I can't agree with you Otz. This game mode was great for me as solo survivor. First time for a long time I experienced DBD as horror game. I think the biggest issue that people have done (and that's why they disliked this mode) was to experiencing it as regular DBD but darker with no loadout. WRONG. If you treated this mode as new game at all and feel the fear of unknown as survivor you could be really spooked and excited about every match. From k1ller side, my girlfriend for the first time tried new k1llers on this mode and really enjoyed it, because she could try them without counter perks or bots that know everything, only pure power, knowledge and experience that she gained without worry about anything

GGs

This is how DBD should be. No perks that are overpowered and make the game unplayable for both sides, no overpowered ad ones, just skill and having enough skill to properly use your powers without the help of perks.

My first 5 games i cherish most, after that the killers or survivors are so toxic for no reason

His first word in this video is there and last word is played

i think the mode should have made it so finishing gens lights up parts of the map and slowly unlocks your perks so as the game goes on it ramps up, or even the opposite the survivors are trying to turn off gens and slowly remove perks making it harder and scarier the farther in you are

this game mode actually brought me back to how launch dbd felt, everyone was stumbling around in the dark, game was actually kind of scary, and the game wasnt full of 5 meta loadouts trying to out sweat eachother

Lol I was so confused as to who Saga Anderson was

this game mode was fun when the killer understood how much of an advantage they had and that they could chill and go for silly plays that would otherwise lose you the game. in my survivor games i mostly hated it and played chill killer games instead that, i think, were fun for everybody

Playing lights out as chucky has been an absolute delight! They literally never see me coming!

bloodpoints was what made it worth it to play

I enjoyed playing killer alot survivor was rough in soloq with a team it was fun but still insanely killer sided not having anything to counter the killer in anyway made the powers of each killer 5x stronger which is fine if they made some of the items a bit more frequent like for instance the flashlights were a great way to fight back and even the playing field but i think in the entire time of the event and atleast 35 games i found a flashlight maybe 4/5 times the majority of the time you would get a toolbox which is cool for gen repair but the sabo boxes were worthless unless your were wasting time following killer because you had no idea were hooks were before the did medkits were good to for the free heal but i think a good change for the future would be instead of locking loadouts out give the survivors a set of loadouts like a healer a gen build a sabo etc and we can pick what we want from those set loadouts idk just a idea

Lacking!? I loved lights out I ranked up a bunch of killers during it. It's so nice not to have to deal with all that survivor bullshit and just play the game. It's the best time I've ever had in dbd as a new player, very very sad it is over. It was funny to see how incompetent they all are at the actual core gameplay without all the crutches that perks are for survivors, I don't need anything to win games on M1 killers if I just play smart and listen, they don't seem to be able to do anything right without their toys. I did get utterly wiped out by a few teams tho, so, there are definitely survivors out there who can play the hell out of DBD, even in the mid-ranks where I am.

Easily the best game mode they could’ve added. Much prefer this over the base game ✌️

do you mind doing more tcm content?

As someone whos stopped playing the game cause I've not been enjoying the direction of the game, I thought this gamemode looked neat and reminded me of old dbd. Many videos I've seen seem to stress how hard survivor is or that the gamemodes gimmick got old quickly (though to me I think survivor should be hard and not completely team base IMO but that's another discussion). Honestly lights out looks like its the most fair games of dbd since there's no perks and everyone has less information to go off on except for SWFs of course. Maybe the devs should actually rethink how much information they give players in base game cause it feels so saturated like hand holding players often causing players to not concentrate on matches. For example survivors seem to have to be more aware of their surroundings cause there's no terror radius to warn them. Lights out also gave me an idea about how item maybe should be in base game. what if survivors get to bring in items to the trial as normal but instead the item spawns in a chest somewhere on the map? Anyway I hope the devs don't scrap this mode as a throw away experiment and actually build upon it with different iterations.

I have yet to see survivors win this mode

I always play solo survivor, and after some matches I learned how to enjoy Light Out modifier. Hope they make it permanent (with some adjustments, for sure). Thanks for vid, Otz! Cheers from Portugal! :)

I kinda wish that, after a bit they let you add 1 perk or something like that. It would have been pretty neat! I also feel like the boosted spawn rates for some maps were a bit much. I would have loved to see a couple different ones but I kept landing on Lery's and Borgo

im sad that this game mode is limited

Already miss the game mode. Brought me back after a nice break, nemmy was fun and trapper was viable
