Dedicated Server is Not Responding = DC Penalty
Has anyone else been experiencing this? Over the past week, I've gotten a number of Dedicated Server disconnects, and each one of them has given me a disconnect penalty. I have confirmed that the issue is NOT my internet—I have a Twitch clip of the Dedicated Server failing and me receiving a DC penalty. I was up to a 30…

Why Kaneki is poorly designed
Before anyone gets me wrong, I do not believe Kaneki to be THAT strong. He's good, but there's counterplay and the 50/50s at pallets are very enjoyable, just as they are against Huntress. The issue is on his LOCK-IN-PLACE attack, which is just very, very, very bad design. Let me explain. On the killer's end, you get stuck…

Dbd fanbase is very fickle with competition
A big statement I always see is that BHVR and dbd would get better and lock in more if there was competition in the genre Yet when we actually get the competition you guys instantly say the game will die within a year. Yet you guys asked for this and you won’t go fund and support the competition to get BHVR to care again?…

Matchmaking frustration
I play solo queue as survivor, and I enjoy it when I have competent, experience teammates. But man, I don’t know what is going on with matchmaking. Just using my matches today as an example. I’ve been doing pretty well lately, escaping about half the time. But even after multiple escapes, my “reward” for doing well is…

Overzealous is NOT an overpowered perk, if anything it's the opposite
Regardless of what some streamers think, overzealous is not some super powerful gen perk that's gonna help you zip through gens. If anything, it's a massive time waster that can easily be canceled out by bad team mates or "totem goblin" teammates. Because it's one of those perks that highly depends on what your teammates…

Why does DS only work once?
Hello everyone it´s me again, I have a question to the perk DS. Why is DS only usable once? How did this question form in my head? Well it is pretty simple. Perks like OTR or DH (which can be used as Anti Tunnel) are multible use so let us compare them in theory with DS. OTR/DS: Both perks do protect you from a down by the…

Stale Mate
This game has become as stale as week old bread. I play killer and sometimes I just can't be bothered chasing survivors with sprint burst and windows so I now play huntress purely for longer hatchet hits. But I've noticed survivors seem more interested in bullying killers than doing all 5 gens. Flashlights, flashbangs,…

7 out of my last 10 games were against Blight or Ghoul
I would genuinely like to understand whether the devs expect this to be an enjoyable experience? I would also like to understand why there isn't some sort of measure to prevent playing the same killer 3/4/5 times in such a short span of games. Honestly, this is my biggest issue with the MMR system. Just because I can play…

EU servers are ruined by high ping killers
EU servers are ruined by high ping killers from outside of EU… Majority of killers I get each game are 60, 80, 100+ ping and it just feels unfair? Anything over 60 always gets a free hit through a pallet or window. Why do killers with high ping always get priority on hits when I have 20-30 ping? Should pallet stuns not…

I'm Married to DBD...
…every match is a mistake I willingly repeat. …I don’t boot it up for fun. I boot it up out of obligation. …I complain during the queue, during the match, and during the post-game chat. …I don't enjoy it. I tolerate it aggressively. …I don’t even want to win. I just want it to be over.

So... what happened to Survivors all spawn together?

More options...not less (Keymapping Issue)
The 9.3.0 Mid-Chapter update that released last month brought a change to the way players on mouse and keyboard access the match details screen. The issue I have with this change is it takes away the TAB key from being a programmable key. For the past 9 years I have used TAB to do my crouching in game. This change would…

Please devs... 50% of Trapper traps are spawning under objects...
In the Swamp map (the variation with the big ship) I had so many traps spawned under objetcs that I just gave up playing. One other thing: Why not making traps being able to be caught in lockers + making them insta reseting base kit after 45 seconds? That would allow Trapper to use another add-ons and being viable.

How is it so hard for BHVR to give some sort of instructions?
Literally any instructions on how to do the event quests… After months, I'm making an effort for them to log on and play a bit. Multiple matches and I cant figure it out.

High ping/VPN killers
since no one else is going to state this- I will. we need to get rid of all these high ping / vpn abusers. EVERY single game I played today killer had ping of 100+ I have a proactive suggestion or 3 1- let us see the ping of ALL players in the pregame lobby 2- give us an option to turn on a setting where ping above 100…

Nemesis
He shouldn't be able to use his whip to knock you on the ground it should only be able to make you have to mend as hes able to hit you over the pallet which it still will be affective for him but allow the survivors to run alittle more smh almost impossible on top of the faster zombies smh come on killers have crazy good…

Just played Pig on The Shattered Square
MI played a lot of Killer today. All the maps seemed okay, but this one, guys... full of good-quality pallets, long tiles, and very close to eachother. It was incredibly difficult to land a hit, and the survs weren't even that good. Especially with Pig, they could even spot me from a distance since the map is very open. A…

I need help with the Fight Back challenge
Hey everyone, I'm trying to complete the first tome and I'm currently stuck on this specific challenge. In most matches, I can't get more than one stun, and you know Murphy's Law; players with Spirit Fury and Enduring are not in my queues. Maybe you completed this challenge? I'd appreciate any advice!

Why you should Empathize with "x perk as basekit" ideas
Many of you must've heard it; "Can we have x perk as basekit?". These suggestions have been around for a very long time, and in some cases have even made it into the game; Basekit Borrowed Time. For some of you this must've gotten tiring and feeling like such posts lack creativity, and making you wonder whether they at…

Is there any way to tell if...
…this was an actual Developer, or just a hacker? The Ghoul's badge and banner are supposedly Dev-only. But I don't know if they were legit. No suspicious gameplay during the match; I didn't report cause I wasn't sure one way or another. Does anyone recognize this potential Dev? (I wanna say GG if so, most of us were kind…

The new Autohaven Map Color needs reverting
I kid you not, but the only dbd maps that feel off to me rn are the odd green autohaven maps. The blue was perfect. For some reason the new pukegreen autohaven maps even feel more zoomed in than normal maps, as if everything is bigger than it's supposed to be. It just feels distored I really wish they'd revert it back to…

How to make boons good again

One kind of challenge I don't enjoy
Anything that requires another player to do something. The winter event has throwing a snowball at a snowman someone is in. If your in SoloQ you can't do it unless you get a friendly killer which I was lucky enough to get but I've never been a fan of those challenges because it requires something out of your control. I…

Does Myers have any reason at all to bring a Momento Mori offering?
I have been practicing the new Myers in customs against bots for practice and it occurred to me that unless I'm mistaken, he has momento Moris basekit, doesn't he? In fact, the offering requires survivors be in the dying state and Myers kit does not. So am I missing something, or aren't all Mori offerings absolutely…

A Christmas time story

Did the pallet density changes drop the kill rates by 5%? (Official stats included)
Here are the official DBD stats for September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025. I threw the image in Google Translate, because the original image was not in English. Here are the official stats for January 1, 2025 to November 30, 2025 So the stats ending in August 2025 have an average 63% kill rate And the stats ending in…

What's happening with deathslinger is he being fixed?
There has been a bug in the game for a few months now where deathslinger half the time will not pull up his gun and just shoot a chain out of his torso.

Why does Pickup Speed have a Harsh cap?
For people using add-ons and perks to increase pickups speed for those who don't know has a max cap of 42% and my question is why?

whats your way to cobe with survivors that do nothing all game long?
for me, i found out if i turn crossplay off so i only play with steam people and i type into every lobby if im the only one knowing what a gen is, i will afk just saying people tend to dodge more often but when i do get a match (which doesnt take much longer) people generally do gens. i found my own fix to the trashy mmr…

Nerf the Shape already! Where are your stats? There are definitely huge numbers for him!
He's simply impossible to loop, and the only option is pre-drops with your nerfed, crappy pallets (can't be even chained) — THAT'S NOT INTERESTING AT ALL AND BORING. Nerf his m2 speed, give him a longer cooldown after breaking pallets with it, and reduce the duration of tier 3. How can you still not change such a broken…

Why doesn't this exist?

A Community Suggestion for Improving Matchmaking, Reducing Burnout, and Supporting Both Casual and C
I wanted to share an idea I’ve been thinking about for a while. This isn’t a pitch or anything I expect compensation for — just a suggestion from a long‑time player who loves the game and wants to see it become healthier for everyone. Right now, DBD tries to serve two very different groups with one system: players who want…

DbD is not a casual game
It’s not true. If this is a casual game then why are there so many complaints? Compare this to an actual casual game such as fall guys or mario kart. These games are not even comparable. Some people may play this game in a casual manner but that doesn’t mean that the game is inherently not competitive. The win condition…

This game is going to die not by balance or bugs but because of cheaters
I don't know why exactly cheaters are now suddenly coming out like weeds sprouting between cravices but the matchmaking has been incredibly abysmal as of late. This is happening across almost all of my games from fly hacking to speedhacking to heal hacking. I had this cheating Dwight once forcing me to crouch, unable to…

Losing or already lost prominent licenses such as Halloween and Hellraiser. A year of complete failure bringing no promised health updates and delayed content.

Nearly 10000+ hr survivor can't play more as a Solo Queue
I don’t know what the current ratio of Solo Queue vs SWFs is anymore. But whether you play solo survivor or killer, this game is basically ruined. Solo survivor feels like absolute trash. Killers do nothing but slug, proxy camp, and tunnel. So you can’t stand solo anymore, and you switch to killer. Then you realize you…
