Explanation

Killer Tome challenges when playing 2v8
(this was a bug during February and April-May 2v8 modes, I'm not sure if it was a bug before or not, I assume it was)/

In 2v8 the tome challenges don't work as intended. There're a bunch of Tome Killer challenges that are like "Kill/Sacrifice X survivors /by any means" and all the different wordings for it.

If you have Tome Challenge Progression notifications turned on, you'll get notifications for each kill (including your buddy killing), and in game you can see the notification on the challenge saying how "`1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8" kills were completed.

However, when you complete the game and go back to the challenge, it never goes above 4 per game. It's physically impossible for a killer to get more than 4 kills in 2v8 for those tome challenges. Even if you as a killer get all 8 final hooks on 8 survivors, you will not get more than 4 kills counted towards the tomes. Moreover, multiple times when you DO NOT get 4 kills together with the buddy, the challenge adds +4 anyway

It's also impossible to (in 2v8 while doing Tomes)

• close more than 1 hatch per match
• hook more than 12 survivors per match (although 8 survivors and the green vials make the max possible number 26)
• hook more than 4 different survivors (even if you hooked all 8 personally)
• hit more than 4 different survivors with your weapon
• start a chase with more than 4 different survivors

you get the memo. All those kinds of challenges have some coded limiter that makes sense for 1v4 but ignores the possibility of 2v8 (+ the bug where you get +4 counted even tho the game was terrible and you only get 1-2 kills).
I assume there's some sort of coding that makes the max possible amount set to the 1v4 amount, and if you do get 12+ hooks in 2v8, it also automatically counts as 4 sacrifices for the challenge sake even if you didn't manage to actually kill anyone.
