I'd be curious of Kill Rates before and during Free Weekend.
I don't know who is enjoying this mess. Let's just artifically inflate 2vs8 Kill Rates with potatoes.
Anyone else not like level design?
Like idk everything just is super unimmersive and unrealistic like ik this is a game about an entity taking people into different realms but the a lot of the locations are based on real places/movies set in the real world. Like why is everything in haddonfield so GIGANTIC and massive? Why is badham still using old house…
Double Post, please delete
.
Let’s talk about haddonfield
Haddonfield has been notoriously known for being incredibly survivor sided. og haddonfield was one of the worst designed maps we’ve ever seen and the first rework wasn’t that much better either. Going from god buildings with balanced landing to god buildings with double windows it was almost inevitable that bhvr would nerf…
"New" blight sucks. Kinda.
I am propably a little late, but since blight got nerfed and his hug tech was removed, he feels ######### to play. He is not weak. Not at all. Still one of the strongest killers in the game, but he just feels awful. His hitbox is #########, the collision in the game in general is also ######### and the fact that i cant even use lethal…

THE SIREN GENDER: Woman ORIGIN: Greece REALM: Coastal Resort / Cruise Ship POWER: Siren'sShriekk POWER ATTACK TYPE: Basic Attack MOVEMENT SPEED: 115% / 4.6 m/s ALTERNATE MOVEMENT SPEED: 77% / 3.08 m/s TERROR RADIUS: 26 meters LULLABY RADIUS: 36 meters (Beautiful Singing) HEIGHT: Average DESCRIPTION: The Siren, with the…

Why did the devs add gen speed with cages?
there’s already 15 gens on the map you can’t even get a win without sweating or just slugging lol. You add in a gen rush survivor build but no gen regression build for killer bravo
2V8 AFKillers
is there any way to get these players banned. Ran into this guy 3 times earlier who would just load into a game and go afk
Fun builds for Spirit
What kind of builds people run with her? What are your "go-to" fun builds for her? They do not need to be metabuilds.
What is your favorite layer of each chase theme?
i´m not sure if i´ve already asked this before, but my list would be something like this: Notes: Trapper represents the default themes If skull merchant had her old chase theme back she would 100% be on the chase category PTB xenomorph would still be on chase (i really liked it) None of the ghost face chase themes are cool…
Can someone explain to me what Leon's perks are and what Ada's perks ?
Like Rocky Spirit and bite the Bullet , how does it relate to Leon's character? Perks descriptions describe Leon focusing on targets that slip away, well I don't remember Leon focusing on a target that slipped away. and Bite the bullet says that pain hurts you just as much as anyone else, but you prefer that others don't…
What is up with the hit boxes?
The hits are so wonky. It can't be my connection cause I don't lag while i'm playing DbD or any other game. I am also not lagging when it happens but I still get hit and you can clearly see the hit has not connected. Same with vaults, sometimes I fall so far from the window it's actually funny. Someone please explain what…
banned by using cheats
I just logged in today and I've been banned for "Exploits: Abusing or errors " when I didn't even do anything please help I want to play this game, my account has been steal and thiev play dbd whith cheats i think
Demogorgon - bug, cheater or normal?
Hey guys, I just had a round against the Demogorgon. Now I'm not sure if it was a bug or if he was buffed. When he put a survivor in the death status, he simply created his portal under the survivor and was able to pull him through his hole to the other portal and hang him in the basement, for example. When he did that 5…
Builds with new improved Myers.
What builds do you all plan on running with him now? I know Lethal is gonna be really good on him now since he gets fast stalk from far away. Not with Tombstone just base Myers. If anyone on here has played with him on the PTB what will you be running based off how he feels now.
Uncomfortable truths of DBD
Camping and Tunneling Are Necessary for Killers to Win High-level survivors complete generators so efficiently that killers often resort to camping or tunneling to regain control of the game. While criticized as "unfun" tactics, these strategies are sometimes the only way killers can compete against well-coordinated teams.…
"Mini Quest Knight" Meme/Challenge Build
Hello all within the DBD forum! If you know (most likely not) I am a Knight main that loves to experiment with niche challenges and builds in an attempt to entertain survivors who play against me (rather than playing as a typical cookie-cutter Knight) so I come to the forum to show a challenge build I have dubbed "Mini…
State of cheaters and BHVR action
I've been seeing more and more cheaters lately, like people running at the speed of light, survivors that make your killer slide across the map at crazy speeds (like to the other side of the map in a second) uncontrollably the moment you pick them up, etc. Today I actually got one of these cheaters engaging in the post…
Why Wraith is so insanely overpowered?
Seriously he one of the strongest and most insufferable killer to go againt. Seriously why he have so much broken stuff that make playing agains him almost impossible. For example: Why he has speed increase while cloaked? Why he has speed boost after uncloaked it makes mostly loops useless against him ( there is many times…
MMRmmrMMRmmrMMR!!!!!!
Good grief this soooooo has be fixed. The game claims that it matches to a players skill level, yet there's no way that's true. I'm not very good, haven't been playing long, yet every single match I play as a killer I get tournament level bullie squads that are close to or are 100. When I play as a survivor, I get tied to…
BLOOD FEAST STARTING NOW!
A blood feast has started, earn 3x bp until November 28th!(when new chapter releases).
Why is "AFK" a reportable offense if no action is taken?
I had a killer teammate in 2v8 who was AFK the entire match, from start to finish. Their aura never moved. I made an in-game report and followed up with video evidence. The report was declined: Whilst we appreciate your support for the game and your desire to make the game a more enjoyable experience, it is with regret to…
Will We Ever Get A "Deception"-Based Killer?
When Legion's trailers and teasers came out, a lot of people thought that they would be a Killer that could disguise themselves like Survivors to get a drop on them, and there is a lot of evidence to suggest that this was the original design intention behind Legion before they were changed for PTB/Live Servers. Til this…
Killer is too easy
I haven’t played killer since chucky came out, I knew after xeno things were going in a bad direction. You guys keep buffing every aspect of killer and nerfing survivor I hate playing survivor but killer is comically easy now with all the perks and killers with training wheels like ######### were you thinking with Dracula? You…
Matchmaking preference option?
I wonder what people think about the possibility of a slider in the settings menu that could make small changes to the importance of MMR in your matchmaking? I just wrote a response to a different thread that made me think about this, so rather than writing my thinking about it again, I'm copy/pasting it here: ******Start…
November 28th is the New Chapter
Are you excited for this? How was the PTB? I think the new Killer looks awesome!
Different views on Billy
Disclaimer: This is not asking for nerfs. This is us asking about if our own views on Billy are fair or not to try and change our minds. We are aware we are biased against him and he takes some skill {even if we don't often if ever see it} which is why we're asking for other viewpoints. [{(Let's see if we're being…
What Freddy's biggest issue truly is.
REMOVE. THE. SLEEP. MECHANIC. This single mechanic is what holds Freddy back, making him weak and boring. Think about it: when survivors are awake, you're essentially playing against a powerless killer, which is not only unengaging but also reduces him to a basic M1 killer. This creates one of his biggest weaknesses—being…
1v8 game mode
1v8 but a random survivor is a traitor, so like add in some Among Us and Town of Salem. Survivors would be able to temporarily remove a suspected traitor from play with an item found in a chest. The traitor could maybe reveal auras to the killer or mark them with a delayed curse. More thoughts and ideas.
These are the only survivors I keep seeing in 2v8
Mini Bond
So I had this idea that all Survivors could have a mini Bond as Basekit. It would only be 8 meters though. Maybe to help bring SWF and Solo a little closer together.
DBD Confessionals
Father Vile's Confessionals are now open. Come talk about some misdeeds in the fog that have been weighing on you and your DBD sins will be forgiven. I accidentally body-blocked a window my teammate was trying to loop at and caused them to go down. This was because I was going one way trying to position myself for the…
I think Killers are literally falling asleep waiting in 2v8 queues.
I've had 3 matches as Survivor where one Killer was afk and another one where my Killer partner was afk. I really think they're nodding off while waiting. Can we increase the incentives on Survivor? It's so frustrating for a Killer that waits 20 minutes to play a 1 v 8.
Why is nurse allowed to be broken?
Why is every killer subject to balance changes, nerfs, buffs, etc. and then they allow Nurse to live completely outside of this reality? It's like she is in her own game or something, separate from everyone else. She is absolutely ridiculously overpowered, there is NOTHING you can do to counter her, and nobody seems to…
Can we make Chest have 0 Collision...
I swear these chests weren't that bad before…. Now they're even more worse with the iffy hitboxes on those Chests… And how in the hell do they block a shot when they're still close but it's right above it.. pls do something bout it… i just wanna slide off of it instead of somehow hitting the Extended hitbox that sticks out…
Pinhead chain hitboxes
Like cmon, this should be a hit but the chain's hitbox is like an atom, sometimes I wonder if I'm actually tripping or of the hitboxes change at times. But this small is just ridiculous :/
Spies From The Shadows Becoming META?
I've been seeing alot more killers lately, use this perk. Is there a reason why it's becoming so popular now? Just curious.
What do you think about voice lines?
I see in interviews with the devs that people want them not only to continue but to also go back and do older characters like Dwight for example. Does anyone else, while appreciating the talent, wish you could turn them off? I get so distracted playing as Lara Croft or The Unknown. I know there's a lot of people who hate…
When 1 Generator remains in 2v8, nobody will work on one.
Most 2v8 Survivor games I lose is because of this. The Killers could have 1 hook on each Survivor and nobody will even attempt to repair the final generator. It's so annoying but funny too. Nobody has a problem saving others when 1 generator remains, but they will not repair it.
As Killer, is there any reason not to use a lunge attack?
Title. If I'm playing Freddy, Myers, Ghostface, or Trapper, why wouldn't I always hold R2 (on Playstation) for more distance as opposed to just tap the button for a shorter swing ? Is there any downside to attempting a lunge attack versus a basic one? I personally always use the lunge because the regular feels weird and I…
Let's talk about Nurse
Hey yal!😁 Would like to discuss this: why years pass and almost every killer receive nerfs and Nurse is basically untouched in all DbD history? We have such nice perks for killers that could be balanced with all of them except Nurse. If she uses these perk they becomes broken, so for the sake of balance they are not good…
0% BP survivor bonus in 2v8 queue
If the killer queue times are so long why are you reducing the survivor bp bonus to 0%? Is that intentional?
My theory on the unknown
That's right tin foil hat time. So the unknown is what the name suggests unknown no one knows where they came from or what they are. But I have my own theory on the idea of Unknown. So what is Unknown? A Egregore a being that is the manifestation of a bunch of thoughts that created it. Here's what I think. So imagine if…
Hey BHVR! Hit up Robert Englund! He literally just said he wants to voice the character again!
Please get his man's voice into DBD with a Legendary skin before Robert is gone for good… Even if all we can get is the voice of Robert, so be it. Just make it happen. This man is 77 years old.
Dead by Daylight Trivia! (#1?)
Hey everyone! Today I thought of doing something a little different... and do a little trivia game! There's gonna be 8 questions that will be increasingly difficult, and theyll be just about anything! From perks, to killers, to maps, you name it! Once completed, theres going to be a Spoiler at the end thatll reveal the…
can anyone explain to me what just happened in front of my eyes
why was the slap so loud
So many people are DCing
Every match in 2v8 someone DCs max I've seen is two because they went down or I guess someone went down before the first gen went off and no its not their connection because I'm not seeing that red bar. Seriously if your going to DC during a game mode then don't play it and go back to normal matches.
Dbd hacking in 2v8?
Hello! has anyone encounter 2v8s hackers in 2v8? i encounter a sable wall hacker while playing huntress she seem to knew every move i was going to make and looking though me the rocks and walls the hole time without the kit is that a possibility?
What’s with the colour blue?
nothing wrong with it but why is every deep rift skin just a more blue version of the other one?
