A crazy bug in Dead by Daylight leads to outrageous scenes. Suddenly, a survivor must face 4 killers!
Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical horror game. Normally, four survivors face one killer. The majority is balanced out by the killer being unstoppable, giving the survivors a chance. However, a current bug causes the killers to be in the majority.
What happens with the bug? Due to an error, a group of players led by user ImCows manages to bring multiple killers into one game. Instead of one killer, survivors then face two, three, or even four killers. It is impossible to win, but it provides great fun for those affected, as this video shows:

How exactly does the bug work? ImCows does not reveal that. He also advises not to try to reproduce the bug as this could lead to penalties such as a ban. However, he has pushed the fun to the limit and admits that “the joy of the moment was greater than the concern for his account.” Meanwhile, he has sent a report to the developers and informed them of the conditions under which the bug occurs.
Multiple killers in a game also seem to lead to other interesting glitches. When “The Pig” (the SAW killer) sets a trap on a survivor’s head, it does not wait for a time limit to go off, but immediately eliminates the survivor. This also provided several laughs in the clip.
Similar bug has been around for a while: That players come together with multiple killers is a known bug that has only appeared in the “Kill Your Friends” mode so far. That it can now be reliably reproduced in the normal, ranked game mode is likely to cause the developers to work on a fix rapidly.
What do you think of this bug? A funny experience that causes a lot of confusion and amusing moments? Or should it be immediately penalized with an account penalty?
