Worst Management
DEEPL translation is used Management removed the simultaneous attack on the killer as a “problem” within the first week of the event. However, the survivor footprint disappearance bug, which had been reported numerous times since then and had a significant impact on the game, was not fixed after a week. Some may argue that…
In my 6ish years playing DBD Solo Que has never been this miserable.
As someone with over 127 days played in this game, never have I been this annoyed with Solo Que. I play solo que Survivor by far the most and honestly its gotten pretty annoying bad. So bad so the first time in 6 years I dont care to have all survivors and killers. Mind you I was red rank Survivor in my first two years.…
When are you going to do something more real about hacking?
I keep getting targeted by the same weak-hearted individual over and over and nothing ever stops it. And the worst part is that I get penalized for it with an ever increasing matchmaking lock. Why can't you guys buy these hacks as new packages are released, dissect them and alter the system so they DO NOT work? Why is this…
What perks or mechanics would you make basekit?
You know how some folks say survivors should have basekit Unbreakable or killers should have basekit old BBQ? Well, what perks do YOU think should be basekit? They can also be mechanics that do not currently exist as perks. Personally, I vouch for basekit Corrupt Intervention and Unbreakable. I think that survivors having…
What is the most evil build you can think of for killer
I need to know the builds you think are vile, toxic and straight up the worst to go against as a survivor.
Distortion Is Fine
I've been seeing a lot of posts about how the nerf to Distortion is problematic, or how Distortion has been "killed" or what have you, so I decided to test it out. I equipped Distortion for a good chunk of games, and tried to get a feel for how accessible tokens were and how much impact Distortion had on the trial. My…
SWF balancing - When are communications coming to DBD?
As expected DBD has attempted to balance SWF communications by buffing all survivors, when are we getting what is what usually is expected of a multiplayer game with friends? Communications ! People are already using communications and the game can't be expected to be balanced for solo or communications as someone will…
Would anyone like to hazard a guess as to what is wrong with this picture?
Just in case anyone needed a reminder that Garden of Joy is a disgrace of map design and should be reworked in its entirety, here you go
Anybody been able to play normal mode?
Been sitting in queue for about 10 minutes in the non event mode, yesterday I was able to find some games but today absolutely nothing Edit: Just remembered today is halloween lol, so I bet everybody is in the event
dumb anti afk mechanic
So I was bored and wanted to troll and have so fun and decided to play blight but my only source of mobility would be his rush, basically mouse only game. Fun game survivors noticed I was trolling and we had fun. But u have to be kidding me cuz I got leaver penalty after the game cuz I didn't touch my keyboard you ppl…
Why bother doing this?
Isn’t Putting something new on instant discount illegal in most places? yea it’s not real currency but it’s very clear that the intended price is 1080 why bother saying it was 1200 other then to make people think they’re getting a deal when they’re not at all. My not just post the price at 1080?
Just got my second P100
Ya boi is now the newest member of the P100 Zarina club! It is now a dream come true, as I started maining this character back in May of 2023 and have enjoyed every second of her since. Very surreal that I have now achieved this. Now I have a P100 survivor and killer. Here’s back when I got my first P100:
Are "Selfish Perks" Contributing To Higher Killrates Than "Team Perks"?
Team Perks or perks that benefit the team over one's self, such as Kindred, For The People, or Leader (just to name a few), have been around for a really long time and normally (but not always) provide insane value where they are used IF they can be used. At the same time, Team Perks are only as strong as your team. Their…
Returning to DBD again. How good is Knight now?
Been on a break from DBD for many months and back now seeing Knight was reworked. And also seen people having diffrent opinions about if he was buffed or nerfed, what is it? This guy Wolfe on youtube are on a 227 games win streak and said Knight is S-tier just that people don't understand how to play him. Now I guess any…
Freddy enjoyers what are your favorite builds with him
I got two that I love so much. 1-Oppression, surge, surveillance, and STBFL Super fun guarding the gens and teleporting to them using Cat block or z block to find where they are. I also enjoy the unicorn block since it 90 seconds of no WoO 2-Friends til the end, Make your choice, Agitation, and mad grit This build revolves…
Flesh Water Courts: a random killer idea
For those who don't know, the Flesh Eater Courts are a playable faction in the tabletop wargame Warhammer: Age of Sigmar. Their whole lore has a lot of depth but to summarise them they are cannibalistic Ghouls who are under a grand delusion that believe themselves to be Noble Knights with their way on viewing reality.…
Pharmacy....
As you know , this perk will receive changes soon. However, I wanted to delve deeper into why Pharmacy receive changes. 1-Usage rate In update 6.1.0, Pharmacy has been changed, so that it will always guarantee you a green med-kit when you are injured when opening the chest. While the developers considered it a "Buff" it…
Killer Attributes(concept)
I feel like The Killers are a bit to much the same stat wise, so in order to help some weaker characters, I came up with the idea of attributes. These will help killers that struggle and some might stop op killer (nurse and sometimes blight) from being to oppressive with no kit nerfs. THESE ARE NOT ALL OF THEM Good…
Slugging Is Often (not always) The Survivors Fault
Grouping up on gens Hovering for saves Sabotaging Taking hits/ body blocking Forcing DS or OTR Boil Over abuse Running to corner of the map Unhooking in front of killer (albeit rare) leading the killer to other survivors (even accidentally) BM’ing It would be foolish not to try and injure multiple survivors if they are all…
Tips for new Dead By Daylight survivors
I wanted to start out by saying that, in the end, there are really three different versions of Dead By Daylight, there's swf DBD, there solo DBD, and there's potato DBD. And each version has its own things going on and what you can and can't get away with. And you have to learn how to identify which version you're in and…
Early morning DBD always this miserable?
I had some free time this morning and thought I’d play a few rounds of survivor… I played 6 games and EVERY single match was 4 slowdowns, tunnels, camps, and slugs at 5 gens… and then the last 2 survivors bled out and “humped” the entire time. 6 of 6, without fail (4 of 6 were Dracula). No wonder survivor bonus is at 200%!…
What animals would you like to see in DBD?
Now we have wolf and bat dracula, what animal do you want to see next? Image is created by fans.
Need advice on the game
So I just did something recently that I regret deeply aka I just broke my tv and have to buy a new one because no idea how to fix it. I kinda realized I need to have a way to basically remain calm or at least not pull that move again. I know there's the usually oh just turn the game off or oh it's just a game but dbd just…
Fun Killers to go against Tier List
I've seen a video recently and found it quite interesting. Wanted to share my personal Tier List. Would like to know your personal opinions. Edit: Just seen that Dracula and Vecna aren't even on it. I'd put them both in fun.
Not looking forward for 2v8 return.
Because I'm sure it will screw up normal game queue times like before. Since the first split up queues for normal and evt we realized that this game cannot handle this and 2v8 makes it way worse. One of these days the waiting was SO DAMN long in normal that I ended up matching with a professional surv squad just to show…
Moved: Please fix OCE servers!

Dead by Daylight Board Game
Hello Party People of The Fog The DBD Board Game got more copies in through Level 99s website. Has anyone played the board game itself? If so, what are your thoughts? Good game for fans only? Good game for everyone? Bad game with cool little statue fellas? I'm considering picking it up but as the only one who plays DBD in…
Why is moment of glory so weak?
Title. Inner strength heals you significantly faster and requires less to activate than moment (or less perks if you use appraisal). It doesn't work with second wind. In fact it breaks you before second wind can heal you so you spend +20 seconds to get the healing AND both perks deactivate. It should at least be 45 seconds…
when a player dc's what determines what type of bot you get?
you know, you can get the wallhack type of bot that literally sees you through walls, or the classic claudette bot that does nothing but crouch around in corners and seems go down in 1 second when in a chase. what determines what bot you get? is it just a diceroll?
DCing Bad sports lobbies
For those that DC or insta give up on hook, when are we getting lobbies similar to SBMM where I don't have to play with them unless I am in a 4 man swf?
Second Wind got power creeped :(
Second Wind was never a good Perk, due to all the requirements it has to become active, but at least it had it's own niche, but ever since Resurgence got buffed, the Perk just doesn't have a place anymore to be honest. Please buff the Perk finally :(
Moris
So I know a lot of people have asked for more moris for killers, such as a type of cosmetic you can equip, and since this is very likely to happen at some point I had an idea. What about an option to see the mori in first person the way the old moris worked, something about the up close and personal aspect I think would be…
What can potentially end the "soloq" problem? A serious inquiry.....
Why do most survivors find it so hard to win in SOLOQ? Is it they're own lack of skill, perk choices, or because they are paired with "bad" teammates? What have I encountered? Well…I'll give you a number list but there is more to it. The game starts…… Survivors cleansing totems that are not lit for BP only. Survivors…
Can you catch unknowns bubble anymore?
ever since the rework etc Iv yet to catch the bubble… is it even possible or was it removed?
Leon Kennedy will be back or not?
Leon Kennedy will be back ??
Are we still pretending Mastermind isn't a Pay to Win DLC Killer?
Nothing else says pay to win like having a power to catch up to a survivor 2 seconds later after hitting them. With slow down / time wasters that constantly make them run around unlocking chests. With extremely large grab hit boxes that makes missing survivors actually hard to do with the attack. I played him about 3 times…
I had a nightmare that bamboozle was reworked to be token based
that’s the title, I woke in a sweat cause today is the day BHVR announces patch notes and changes, any ways I was checking the patch notes, and they were all questionable, kinda a blur and honestly not bad, till I read my nightmare bamboozle , I remember it cause it was so bad it woke me up Bamboozle Rework: Everytime you…
When is the best time to use your Toolbox to repair?
Is it really the best move to use your toolbox charges at the beginning of the match? If you get caught first, the Killer can undo all your progress. There's the potential the Killer has FD though. I'm just curious, do you all use it as soon as the match starts? Do you wait until someone is in a chase? What is the best way…
Is there a way to see which perk I have unlocked or not?
Title. But I honesty wish it would say on the perks or somewhere if I have them unlocked or not
Remember when snowmen completely broke DBD?
I remember, that was a horrible time to play lol.
My tierlist of survivors based on their perks
Feel free to express your opinions
Random Sable outfit
So I don't like Sable for the sole reason of her lore and cosmetic lore just makes her super unlikable. So I came up with an outfit not to long ago to at least give her a decent thing or a small redeeming quality. This outfit as nothing to do with her parents since clearly she hates them or anyone lore wise. Enjoy. New…
Bots stuck in void?
Just played a match that I won because a survivor disconnected and turned into a bot. The bot then went into the void and stayed inside of it for the entire game, and when I followed it in, it had AFK crows. Anyone else notice similar? I didn't think the bots could even enter the void.
why Hex: Crowd Control is it considered bad perk?
It seems to me that no matter they buff Hex: Crowd Control, players still find it weak. FYI, this perk has been buffed 4 times without any nerfs so far.
Am I being a spoiled brat?
I'm a survivor-main, only raison I'm not a survivor-only is the rewards and tomes. Am I being a spoiled brat to think it's "sad" being forced into a role I just really don't like? Or do some survs/killers feel the same way?
Switch cross-progression bugged?
I recently purchased DBD on my Switch, (2 days ago as of posting) and after linking my Nintendo account, it says I don't own the game. I have launched the game multiple times, refreshed my library, and unlinked and relinked. I don't know if I should delete and redownload or something? I really don't want to start over…
Post no longer relevant.
I reposted this post in suggestions instead of general discussions, as I felt it was more appropriate.
Scourage Hook: Hangman's Trick Rework
Hangman's Trick needs a rework. BHVR tried to rework it twice with a very RNG dependent idea that relies on survivors standing near hooks which isnt really a great design. Hangman's trick should act as a good support perk for other scourage hooks imo to reduce the RNG dependency of pain res, gift of pain, etc. Here's my…
Does anyone remember the old sadako like when she first came out and how powerful she was
I remember old sadako’s ring drawing use to be really broken because i remember sadako mains even myself use to slug using knockout and ring drawing addon to force survivors to get condemned. Also the other addon which is irridecent videotape where each time she hits a survivor every 3 powered tv that is turned off will…
Code not working?
Is there an issue with the 2 million bloodpoints code that came with the dbd dice?
