i don't know what happend today in this match with a bot....
in the endgame chat many said that a cheater was playing on Ada and he left the game and the bot continued to cheat, which sounds kinda strange in itself I did not understand what was happening in the game and what they wanted from me, but after reviewing the recording, I realized that the killers could not hit the bot,…
Houndmaster
So I noticed in the PTB that the Chase command charts a path that the Dog follows like an indicator. Now The Nurse, Blight, and Twins all have a Brown/Common addon that does this for their power so being Plaid Flannel, Chipped Monocle, and Cat Figurine. Now my question is should these three Add-ons be Basekit but be…
Guide class should be in normal mode
See the Aura of any unfinished Generator in your vicinity. Anytime you’re repairing a Generator, your teammates will see the Aura of both you and the Generator you’re repairing. The Guide also has a small Tech Radius, which gives teammates a Great Skill Check Bonus and reduced repair noise. Active Ability: Guides can…
When are we going to stop pretending that Crouch Tech is fine?
Now that the hug tech is gone, it seems like the same people who called for its nerf are awfully quiet. It goes without saying that crouching on a different elevation shouldn't counter a killer's power. But BHVR sure is taking their sweet time to acknowledge it.
Builds/perks to recreate 2v8 classes in 1v4 (survivor)

8 Gens in 4 minutes 14 Seconds
How is this even remotely possible? 8 Gens to complete with supposed "catch up mechanic" where If the Killers are getting cage stages the Survivors gain 1% gen progression but once completing a gen the Survivors lose 1% gen progression. The Killers were Blight and Wraith who got 10 Cage stages which isn't even half their…
Are your servers underwater?
Lag, lag, lag and more lag. Rubberbanding out of nowhere. Ping going up like the current inflation. Fix this mess.
When are you going to permaban VPN killers?
They're repeat offenders. Hitting me that shouldn't be a hit. Checking their Steam account, they're playing from China and use a VPN to play in America. Oh, here is the kicker! A Russian spamming in chat with a 999m/s+ ping. You need region lock on your game. Anyone above 90 ping should be automatically booted and receive…
2v8 griefing (blocking unhook prompt)
So I just had a survivor stand in front of me for 2 minutes until I died, while I was in the cage. Both killers ignored them, because she was basically helping them. No other survivor could unhook me, because the Meg was blocking the prompt. I know it probably won't happen a lot, since hopefully most killers will be decent…
Did they nerf the BP incentive bonuses?
I haven't seen 100% on either side for a while now. Even when my queues are 5 seconds on survivors and a minute or two for killer, the BP bonus stays at 50% max. BHVR did say they were monitoring the BP bonuses a while back with 2v8. Maybe it's even stricter to get a 100% bonus?
If you're an AFK killer during 2v8
This is as serious as it gets IN this game. I don't think there is a single thing you can do on this game other than hacking that completely ruins the experience the way that this does. Not only does it ruin the match it wastes a half an hour or more of your time.. BHVR should look closely at reports during this event and…
Shared mories
I just got an idea about moris in 2v8! I think it's really funny that we get to do them in the mode at all! But wouldn't it be cool if both Killers could be in the mori? A new special mori animation depending on which Killers are in the Trial! I think it would be really cool, but probably time consuming to do due to all…
2v8 huntress
Plz stop. there are too many. As killer and survivor I cant escape the hum. please try the other options. What do you think the huntress pick rate is for 2v8? i feel like shes 80% of my matches
Is it possible for another player to cause me to disconnect?
I've had this experience several times, and it's starting to feel like more than a coincidence. I can play for hours without issue, then at a key moment in a game, often when the other players were winning, and suddenly the tide turns, I'll get disconnected from the game. I end up with a disconnect penalty. Obviously I…
Wesker and urobending
Is it still possible to urobend with Wesker since his change or has that been removed?
Survivor escape rates vs killer win rates, a bit of math to understand why the devs are right.
edit: To make this a bit more fun. I've written an app in javascript so anyone can play with the escape rate in a graphical environment. The app is at: — Original post — It shouldn't be so difficult to grasp, but apparently it is. Here are the measured escape rates offered by BHVR: These are averages. In essence, the mean…
What killers would you sat can't work for 2v8
Overall I guess it's just power wise. Like for legion I would say it would be extremely easy to get chain frenzy hits and downs but over all I also wanna say Doctor but I don't think that would make much sense. Overall I guess what killers couldn't work because their powers might bit a little problematic or might be…
Sure,great, exciting
Wow, 9 straight games with a Huntress in 2v8. So thrilling
is the report still working?
Is the report in game still working? i havent had any update on my report for the past months compared to before? is there dedicated to reporting?
Moved: 2v8 is still not really that interesting for Survivors
This discussion has been moved.
Why are servers are so weak for killers during events?
And no, I don't say about high ping, lags and etc. Every event in DBD (Halloween, 2 vs. 8 and more), I see one thing that on event time survivor matchmaking is faster than killer matchmaking. The lowest time in queue as a survivor was 30 seconds, and for killer more than 4 minutes (it can be longer, lol). And when a match…
Does DBD support PS5 Pro?
Hi! This month I got myself a LG G4 and a PS5 Pro but I'm curious if Dead by Daylight supports the PS5 Pro. Does anybody know? Thank you.
I did not miss that skill check on purpose …
And if you shame me, I’m probably going to miss the next one out of spite or because I’m too mad to focus. I’ve already screamed at myself, I don’t need you be toxic over it. Team game.
⚠️ New Update Fixes for 2v8 ⚠️
My take why game is killer survivor .
Somehow, people still claim that the game is “SURVIVOR sided”which I find absolutely insane. Do we play the same game? First, we need to understand that kill rate does not directly correlate with win rate, but there is still a correlation between the two. We all know this. For example, lets say you're a sweaty Iri-4…
2v8 Killer Queue Is Awfully Long. :(
It's so bad that Im having to play Webfishing on the side to pass the time and my friend caught a Golden Bass (0.15% chance) before we got into a game. Damn the queue is taking forever. :( Update: Literally 2-seconds, after 30-minutes of waiting, we got into a game, and I got hit with an EAC error that closed my game.…

The new scourge hook jagged compass is genius
this perk is going to be a game changer for current scourge hooks and ongoing scourge hook designs. This perk buffs weak SHs while keeping pain res the same. Floods of rage and gift of pain is going to be more consistent since they proc when survivors get unhooked regular hooks. SHs like hangman trick and monstrous are…
Fellow Nurse mains
Sup? There aren't very much of us left these days so I'd like to have the oppurtunity to get to know my fellow Nurse mains of the forum a bit more. We are the most superior after all and the most skillful players of Dbd😏. So what's your guys' main outfit combo? What build do you mainly use? How long have you been playing…
It is a good thing 2vs8 is survivor sided
And I say that as a killer main btw. My reasons : PERKS 1vs4 : survivors can chose the strongest perks and combine them. 2vs8 : survivors have to make a choice between different sets of perks. They cannot cover all of their weaknesses. COMPOSITION AS SURVIVOR 1vs4 : you just need to find 3 people to make a full SWF stack.…
17 games in and my 2v8 stats are concerning
I took notes on all my 2v8 matches today, and I'm not liking the results. Playing survivor only (queue times are too brutal for me to try killer), either medic or guide. Game 1: Blight + Billy. Yamaoka. 8K, 5 gens left. Miserable game. Killers raced around the map and racked constant downs, were always zooming over to…
I called it: adding more killers to 2v8 would worsen killer queues
Everyone was like add more killers to 2v8 so survivor is more interesting. This would actually worsen queues. People said that they got bored from facing the same killers, but during the first week of 2v8 when it was still fresh and people weren't bored yet, killer queues were the worst. This means that even in the best…
Missing the Alien PTB music ...
Soo a year ago alien released with an amazing chase music related to the movies and then everyone cried about it right? Well I MISS IT and im not the only one so when is that petition coming besties Dead By Daylight The Xenomorph Chase Music [PTB]
How to git gud at demogorgon
i'm playing demogorgon after a long while and im really struggling to do good with him. Are there any tips with him that would make him play better? How often do you use your portals? and Is he even viable to play? Anything would be appreciated
Killer theme teams...
Krampus Trapper looking for Were-Elk Huntress for casual horned monster fun. Clean thoughts plz 😏 What killer theme teams would you like to see most? 😁😁😁
Imagine great licenses with 2v8
Freddy and Jason Xenomorph and Predator Sadako and Kayako
Does 2v8 Wraith feel odd to anyone else?
Played afew games as Wraith since that was what I used most LAST time and couldn't help but notice what felt like a delay after uncloak before you can swing. Is anyone else noticing this? It kinda removes Wraith's super lunge.
15 Min Queue For a Useless Teammate (Killer)
My god it's bad enough already that 2v8 Killer queues are on average 15 mins (Fixed btw says BHVR) but seriously what is with the amount of useless Killer players who are about as useful as a concrete parachute? It is becoming stupidly consistent where I am getting between 10-15 hook stages per game while Killer teammates…
STOP UNHOOKING SURVIVORS WHO WANT TO LEAVE THE GAME!
In-depth detail explanation below. So sick of this, I'm sick of having to deal with a penalty all because either my teammates don't do anything all game so the killer just always targets me for actually trying to do gens because no one else is working on one or the killer just somehow acts like I'm obsession(when I'm…
2v8 - Cool..
Wait thirty minutes for a 5 minute game. Why do people gave a ######### about this game mode?
Are Medics the new Escapists?
In the previous version of 2v8, Escapists were the favorite class of SWF loopers, as they could give each other Sprint Bursts on command, and I often saw them swooping in to clutch their friends out of bad positions and extend chases unreasonably. I just witnessed something very broken in my latest match, where a Medic ran…
Campfire Stories

Possibly the greatest teamwork you'll ever see in 2v8
Who needs huntress when you have billy and slinger
So uh... Dcing in the loading screen as a killer un 2v8 has sideffects
I wonder what kind of poor devil had to DC after 20 minutes just to discover this https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/1gq9tnw/wait_why_is_oni_here/
How long have 2v8 Killer Queues been taking?
Are the wait times better than last time? I noticed only 150% to 250% BP incentive for Survivors opposed to the 400% last time. How long do you wait in a 2v8 Killer Queue this time?
Can the 2v8 survivor incentive go back to 350% please 🙏
The incentives yesterday were 50% on killer and 350% on survivor. They soon dropped the incentive for killer, which is fine and makes sense, but they also dropped the bonus on survivor to 250%. I just want the bonus on survivor to go back up, i was getting like 100k a game as survivor which totally feels worth it but now…
Haddonfield Deadzone
This room on the 1st floor to left when you enter the front door spawns nothing in it and honestly seems pointless. They could add a pallet or make that window next to the chair a vault. Of course it now goes nowhere since they removed the house. And I get that they removed the house back here to make the map smaller but…
Who wants to see nemesis and the knight in 2 v 8?
This image is fan made.
2v8 should have pips
It's really dumb for pips to not be included in the 2nd version. Why? because the extra BP we get from this mode is basically void because we don't get rank reset rewards later on if we stay on this mode. Even if it had to be simplified to like….escape get a pip. Get a few kills get a pip.
Tales from the Fog subforum
I've seen a few posts recently where people started telling fun stories about things that happened in their games. A couple threads about happy events where killers and survivors bonded, a more recent one called Campfire Stories or something similar. I think it could be fun to have a subforum specifically for sharing…
