Some SoloQ advice about hook states that has absolutely nothing to do with personal experience
One of the best pieces of advice I have been making use of in SoloQ is the idea of treating hook states as a resource, each hook state is 70 seconds long, only 20 seconds less then a generator, so, as a SoloQ player, learn to treat both your own as well as your teammates' hook states as a way to stay in the match for…
When is the new PTB?
?
Why I'm still see the skull merchant trying to holding 3 generators?
I mean after all this reworks, after nerfing most of the slow down perks and adding the anti 3 gen. The funny thing is that despite her choosing the closest 3 generators at the beginning of the match, my team (SoloQ) was able to break this strategy within only 4 minutes and the entire team escaped. In chat ..... it can be…
No developer update today :(
I really cannot wait for the Killer and Perk changes, please give us a sign!
Games are so fast these days
For real, had a match with Clown earlier tonight and my main plan was to equip Surge and get that 8 damaged gens tome challenge done in a jiffy. Well, RNG brought us to Eiry and the game lasted 8:30min with 3 hooks. Those survivors were cracked and out for blood! But 8:30min … oof, should a Clown match be that short? Well,…
was that already possible?
i had no idea i could just stand in there
Please set up a sub-forum for complaints
The general forum is terrible. I feel like 90% of all posts are complaints about this and that. I've already caught myself doing it! It's become unbearable. It doesn't change anything anyway. The mods read it and put a check mark on it. That's it. But it doesn't change the game, no matter how many times you complain.
Killer mains: one niche tip for your main
You know how when you start accumulating hours in a certain killer, you start realizing of niche strats that you can take advantage of when playing that killer? Well, it's time to share! What's one niche tip (or not so niche, but you know) that you would give to someone who wants to pick up and start playing your main?
Bardic Inspiration just doesn't work
It has been several patches and the Perk is still broken, I cannot even activate it, it just instantly stops itself from working instantly when I press the button… The effect isn't even that good afterwards, I'm not even sure if the Perk did anything for me or other Survivors when it works, do I need to complete the whole…
Jake Park's Fancy Family Dinner Outfit is the only outfit missing from the Lunar New Year Collection
All of the other cosmetics from the Lurking Stripes/Lunar New Year Collection are in the store except for Jake's, since the Lunar New Year event will never be coming back and it's outfits are no longer FOMO, Jake's outfit should be added to the store as well.
Does Steam have an edition that includes all of the DLC?
Console player looking at switching to PC. I saw Gold edition on the Steam store, but it doesn’t stipulate what’s included. Will the blood points I’ve accumulated over the years on Console be available the PC version? Many thanks
Map balance tier list
Just for fun I made a map tier list, and am curious what other people think of the current map situation in DBD. Personally, I think BHVR has improved a lot when it comes to map balance and design, with far more maps being very well balanced and fair. Of course there still have been some misssteps, like the new reworked…
Ghostface changes YOU want to see in November
Since BHVR announced Ghostface will be getting tweaks in November, what kind of buffs/nerfs/changes would you personally like to see the made to the masked slasher? I curious to hear from both sides, Killer and Survivor
What do I do
I've gone to FAQ it hasn't helped at all. My steam account isn't connected to any other BHVR account I made a throw away account to test and it did fine the only since linked to my BHVR account is my playstation account. So I want to know how do I fix this that's all i'm asking I checked the FAQ several times and nothing…
Auric cells - are you kidding me?
For real - I don't really know how I ended up in this situation exactly, but lets say, that I am a little bit miffed! Pfff…
Haddonfield is a horrible map!
My games as a survivor are a nightmare on this map, the same as in forgotten ruins and hawkins laboratory…
Cross progression question.
My Playstation account has all the DLC's, I synced Cross Progression through Behaviour so I can play on Steam. Do I need to buy the base game on Steam? or am I missing something?
Holding game hostage
the killer just slugged me and the other 3 survivors and didn’t hook us once. He bled out all us. Please do something to fix this.
ps5 account to steam account?
is there any way that i can transfer my ps5 progresses to my steam account? please answer
If you could bring a killer on the survivors side.
Ive seen those killer and survivors swap art fans have been making. I've got a good one. New Survivors: Frank, Julie, Joey and Suzie. New Killer: The Legion. Jeff Johansen
Other than Knock Out, what could possibly hide my teammates dying aura for the entire match?
This has happened 3 times in the past 24 hours. A Killer will slug someone and they are not using Knock Out and the slugged survivors are not in the void and you can't see the aura of the slugged Survivor! This is the match I just played below. Does anyone see anything that would hide Ace's aura for literally the entire…
help
im having a problem on the behaviour site cuz it doesnt show that i own a ps5 dbd, it shows only the steam acc. ( i connected everything perfectly ) can someone help me
Tell me about The Plague, please
I just decided to play her. How does she earn Deviousness points?! It seems impossible! I don't quite understand her power. Do I want to just use vile purge? After I go to the fountain, her vomiting is red and I can't infect anyone? Is it good to vomit on a hooked survivor? Or do players just do that to be toxic? I don't…
Pyramid Head's torment needs a change
Honestly getting sick Pyramid Head players being allowed a free mori after hooking a survivor affected by torment and not bothering to send them to the cage. Either make torment wear off or remove his ability to mori survivor's without sending them to the cage at all
When are we going to address slugging?
This issue has gotten 10x worse this past patch, because for some reason the devs think that killers need moris basekit. Now every match is just killers slugging people out instead of hooking so they can get the mori. There needs to be a base mechanic to address this. Funnily enough, they were going to do this alongside…
How is it possible to earn a Platinum Trophy 🏆 when new content is added?
On PlayStation 5, it says you can earn the platinum trophy by collecting all the trophies. But how is this possible as every new character/chapter gets new challenges and adepts?
Problem with a rift (Epic games)
I'm not sure if i should post it in bug reports or not. I had lvl 98 or 97 rift when i finally decided to bought premium. I got all skins except Dracula's final form and its deep rift variant and Soma's deep rift variant. So, the question is, how do i get them?
Cant upgrade fixated-inner strength-camaraderie on Dwight !!!
cant find these perks on bloodweb ! ! ! i dont have the dlc but i recently bought sable and i got all the perks there at tier 3 i cant get them on Dwight ); please fix
I feel like I’m physically incapable of doing these challenges
it’s either I get tunneled and never have the opportunity to get a smoke bomb or the kill never chases me sigh
Onryo is annoying
Onryo is incredibly annoying to play against, that's it. Give me a fast blight match any day than the chess matches I get against this killer 😍
No response to tickets
Hi all, I sent a ticket to support 1 week ago a little more a little less and I still haven't received a reply.What can I do? I read that maybe writing here in the forum could help, is that true?
Why are the Plague changes pushed back?
I low key was hoping her changes were going to address her puke hit detection cause lately I feel like they have gotten worse then they already were
More Cosmetic Options?
Besides Emotes, Item/Power skins, and more Mori options for existing killers, and maybe a "Remove Mask" feature for certain killers, A lot of people would like to have the option to remove certain accessories from specific cosmetics. Whether it'd be hats, earrings, makeup, glasses, backpacks etc. It would also be cool if…
If You Could Bring 1 Killer Over to the Survivor side, who do you pick?
Disclaimer: The idea of this thread is not from me as it was originally posted in the official DBD reddit (don't have link sorry). For anyone that does not visit reddit or has missed out on the topic who is your Killer of choice?
Mounting Flashlight Resistance
I feel like, of any one mechanic in the game, no one has the capability to ruin a players day in the way flashlights do. Counterplay exists for them, and one or two survivors bringing in a flashlight to use it definitely are not a problem. However, if the survivor brings in a flashlight with intention to fish for blinds,…
Have not been impressed by this so called event.
It's once more re tagging stuff, stuff i don't find very halloween, killers dont get a very good job with stuff, this whole voice stuff doing yet again I have not played it due to the bring stuff, the boring cosmetics, maybe try something actual Halloween like.
Conspicuous Actions
Why is unbreakable not a comspicous action that disables decisive strike? As a killer who knows that a player has decisive strike, i have to wait 60 seconds. This enables them to use unbreakable before the timer runs out AND take a hit again....
killer power connected to terror radius
hello, i had the idea of a possible future killer in dbd having a power that was connected to their terror radius, i think it would be a unique thing to be added, because from what i've seen a very large handful of killers just have the same power with a different coat of paint on it, along side the idea i also came up…
Is Easy Anti Cheat broken again?
Hello everyone, I know that we have a Bug Report section, but its nearly a week already, so I just want to test the waters here. Since Monday I can't play DBD due to EAC glitching and crashing my PCs explorer. When I start DBD, after the splashwindow showcasing Soma and Dracula from the new rift finishs loading, nothing…
Freddy Rework type
Freddy is getting a rework early next year. Rework can be a blurry word in what it means. After looking at prior reworks behavior has done I can only predict 2 different options that they will do. Killers like Trickster, clown, and billy, legion, and bubba all had massive number changes plus new things to there base kit in…
The only way body blocking is justifiable
I played survivor and we all got pretty much steam rolled. Me and 1 other survivor left. Then I noticed my team mate was cheating flying around the map whenever the killer got close to him. This went on for about 20min. Killer let me go and I kept leading him to the cheating survivor but he would just fly off like flash on…
Finisher Mori has indirectly made the survivor experience worse
I truly didn't expect this to happen without a bloodpoint incentive, but here we are. I tracked 22 matches, watching the game play out if I died early. There were 4 where players escaped out the gates, so technically 18 matches with relevant data. 10 of them had the killer slug the second last survivor. In 6 of those…
Cheaters and Publicity: What Can We Do?
This comes after not receiving a response from a mod after asking for their advice on this matter, so I thought I should throw this out into the community. On various social medias, there are people who clearly advertise they are cheating (using wall hacks, speed hacks, etc.). I don't believe the platforms they use have…
New sadoka playstyle
Watched a few videos thats the most effective at getting condemn and its spamming tvs before anyone has the chance to retrieve one, mori someone and rinse and repeat Honestly its really strong with sadokas already present hit and run playstyle, it has some scale ceiling as theres usually a order to follow but really…
Huntress Has The Worst Ultra Rares!
Why do we have Ultra Rares that encourage a killer to not use their power or use it as little as possible? IRI Head is almost exclusively used for insane zoning because you only get one. It’s boring to go against as survivor because there is no chase. And feels awful to use because you have to reload every 5 seconds if you…
Why won't killer players Mori last survivor?
It's always hooks or free escapes. Survivor mains demanded killer mains give last survivor hatch for so long. Take the Mori. It won't hurt my feelings. I don't play to escape. I'm doing time challenges. I just want to see a cool Mori. Trapper and Wraith, not you.
I really enjoy Wolf-from only Dracula
You're basically playing a different Killer! This playstyle is obviously way weaker then to just switch to whatever abillity suits the current situations, but I really enjoy just running around as the Wolf just puncing on people playing pac-man as I chase! I sometimes wish the wolf was it's own Killer haha.
High % of bot / scripting doctor killers on Asia servers?
For the past couple of months, I've been noticing an increased number of bot / scripting doctor killers on Asia servers. Has anyone else experienced this? It's seriously frustrating because… The games aren't fun since the killer moves around like one of those "my first robot" projects which you do in primary school,…
Pain, Why Do people do this in an event
Bnp perks and add on needs removed/rework
Yes i know sable and lara bnp perks are bad and yes i know they arent even meta or op before we start. Bnp in general is unhealthy and needs reworked or remove cause theres nothing killer can do. They cant remove bnp nor they cant know if a bnp is active. Bnps give 10% permanent gen progression which isnt much but it…
