Let’s see how BHVR handles things in 2026.
2025 was honestly a rough year for Dead by Daylight, and a lot of players felt pretty frustrated. So the big question is: what’s going to change this year? Right now, it feels like there’s been a heavy focus on monetization — skins, the Rift, collaborations, and DLC — while core issues are still being left behind. Things…

The ghoul...
I've played as a ghoul yesterday and 2 people instantly DCed and other 2 just stood still. Just because it was a ghoul. Will he be ever changed? People do refure to play against him.
-
Why are flashlight save challenges still being used?
Because I refuse to believe that they occur in any more than 1% of solo queue matches. Not only are they extremely easy to avoid as killer the vast majority of the time, but there are multiple perks (that don't even have that low of a pick rate) that make them even easier to avoid. As well as this, survivor perks that…

The hard truth: why killer mains think Dbd is survivor sided even though it isn't
the game is heavily killer sided according to science and objectivity. why then the killers crying so much about it being survivor sided? let me tell you... their MMR is inflated first thing which happens is a new killer curb stomps their opponent when playing at their true MMR because the game balance holds killers hands.…

2025, The Darkest Year of DbD
Prologue: A Buggy Prelude On the 28th of November 2024, we recieved the Doomed Course chapter. The name is quite fitting, as this chapter was seemingly doomed from the start. The new killer, The Houndmaster, quickly joined The Twins and The Knight as the candidate for the buggiest killer ever. Her power is clunky, always…

Can 2025 PLEASE be the last year to release high mobility killers?
I play both sides with about a 60/40 ratio (survivor/killer) and if I were to play 10 surv games, at least 7 of them will be either a ghoul, blight, spirit, or nurse with a decent chance of maybe encountering a dracula, krasue, vecna, or billy. The first four that were mentioned are often regarded as the top killers,…
-
When are we going to see changes on the survivor side?
survivor lately has been no fun at all. You get tunnelers right off the rip at 5 gens - you get slugged for the 4k (still in 2025) killers complained about the anti tunnel update and now the tunneling is even worse now. Myers can tier up in no time- leading to instant downs and giving us nothing to work with. Survivors…
-
Status for Killers?
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I’ve started to think that many killers are heavily carried by aura perks. Often they run multiple aura perks in a row, which means they don’t really need much skill or game sense and can instead rely almost entirely on wallhacks through auras. What if killers had status effects,…

Will we get Gaton and Millie voice acting for Dustin and El in-game?
I really wonder if we will get the og actors for dbd!! Maya for Robin and Joseph for Eddie etc etc, is there a way to know or do we have to wait for the PTB?

No mither is a major doom perk
Now I'm not trying to dog on anyone who uses it because I get it, it's a perk and you wanna use it for fun. I mean heck I use self care this was mostly because no one bothered healing me so I just screw it and brought it with botany. But I just can't get the appeal of it. Your permanently injured, you give a killer like…

The Hillbilly's Winter Chill skin from Tome 6 Pass
Will there be an opportunity to purchase The Hillbilly's "The Williwaw Touch" skin? It's a skin from The Winter Chill collection, The Trapper and Dwight skins are gone now, they are from Winter Chill collection too, also there is a Clodette's skin in it. The Trapper's and Dwight s skin were available as a part of "From the…

Nerf killers
Simple as the title. This game has a lot more average solo q survivors as per the stats than it does 4 man comps. Therefore I think killer needs a nerf. Specifically the higher tier killers such as twins, dracula, krasue, blight, NOT nurse, and ghoul. Does it mean that comp swfs will 3-4 escape almost every game? Yes,…

Do survivors even want to play this game?
I just fill like the survivors press play button just to abandon the game. No mater if i play survivor or the killer. The game starts something happens and i hear the sound. I had the game where there two generators left na killer had only one hook stage. He cathed somone else the other tryed to flashlight safe them and…

January prestige rewards / stranger things rift?
Are the prestige rewards that were pushed back, coming out in january? And since the next rift starts around the stranger things chapter release, could it be stranger things themed with more legendaries since it took exxxxxxtra loooooooong to prepare?
-
Balancing idea: Scaling perks
As the title suggests, how would the game balance have turned out if perks scaled based on team size for survivor, or relative strength as a killer? So let's say that you take a perk like Sprint Burst, and subtract 5% Haste for each survivor in your party (if the party size is 3 or more) and a 10% increase if you play…
-
Camping/Tunneling or Gen Rushing/Toxic SWF
Either way you swing a bat 1x time you strike out three times at home plate. Your done. You are finished. You can not appease the survivor or the killer. Not until you can find an equal punishment scale for the killer sitting on top of a hook for xxxx number of seconds or a swf group that bully the killer into a rage a…

Playing survivor lately really sucks.
As per my stats.deadbydaylight.com stats, I have a 43% escape rate and a 78% killrate, survivor in solo queue just seems impossible to play right now. Peopl;e are disconnecting and giving up more than 60% of my games probably and the players are just not good enough to survive tunneling. I know people did not like the…

One thing I just want changed with Spirit
Her power seems to require headphones...which I don't have yet her power ⁹requires...no killer power should require something that isn't just a control, console, mouse, or keyboard. Yes I get people where headphones but not everyone. Her power is directional...if you have headphones without them her power is all around you…

The forums sure are full of vitriol these past few days...
Lots of 'mask-off' moments, too. 🤔 I wonder why 🤔

should spirit have a numbers-like rework?
ive started playing spirit again and its been a long time since i've generally played killer, so im getting the hang of her again. from the recent videos ive watched to get better at her, and playing live matches aswell, i've (unsurprisingly) noticed flute is a must on spirit, and i've seen spirit mains say that the…

Some Killer Changes
I was on reddit and someone asked about reworks/updates to Demogorgon, Xenomorph, Knight and Legion. I decided it would be cool to post my ideas here as well, as I've thought about these for sometime as well. Changes I'd like to see: Demogorgon: Killer Instinct Detection of Survivors close to portals is active while…

The Most Evil Build in Dead By Daylight
If you use the perks, Hex: Devour Hope, Hex: Thrill of the Hunt, Hex: Undying and Hex: Pentimento on the killer The Doctor with his Purple and Green Calm addons. You will unlock one of the most evil and unforgiving builds I've ever come across. Just look at my killrate if you want evidence of how unstoppable this build can…

The seasonal event is really boring.
Why do you keep running events that haven’t changed at all for four years? And on top of that, they last for about a month. If you’re just going to repeat the same event every year, I’d rather you implement something like a ranked match mode, even if it’s only available for two weeks. BHVR really needs to start challenging…

Don’t force anti-tunnel and anti-slug into the stranger things PTB
this is one of the most hype chapters since fnaf which considering what the last two chapters were, isn’t really a high bar I know, but the last thing that we need with a chapter this hype is another attempt at a system that failed and was scrapped twice.

Nerf myers
he is too op right now and a built in mori?? What happened to using offering which should be just as rare as our brand new toolbox, I swear every day I play this game and it’s more and more BS, when are we (survivors) going to stand up to this and just find other games to play to show that we aren’t playing around anymore.…

100% of the time, if you can't type in chat someone is cheating
The script specifically targets letters like c t and backspace. They do this to prevent reporting. If I can't type I can't report. I will continue to complain about this until the devs do something about the obvious cheating. If the devs are going to allow cheating then lower DC penalties by half. Or, just do something…
-
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 can we still not turn off the chat censor?
######### ######### ######### ######### ######### ######### caca poopie ass crack ass ######### oooo scary in a game where you brutally murder people there is literally zero reason for this, give us the option to disable it, it doesnt even work properly half the time

Changes I'd like to see made to the Demogorgon with the release of the stranger things chapter 2
As a community, we can agree the Demogorgon has been power creeped with each additional killer added to the game. This is due to many things however, the main reason for this is Demogorgon mobility. Similar to trapper, Demogorgon has to set up his portals before being able to use them which is a massive amount of time…

Seriously just having a hard time enjoying the game
No matter how many breaks I take the game always knows what button to push to bother me. Matchmaking being the main one every time and I mean every single time I get 1 match against survivors who don't seem to be at my skill level so I destory them because matchmaking but congrats you did so well that here's twenty other…

REMOVE THE GODDAMN MAP OFFERINGS!!!!!
THEY ARE LITERALLY USELESS, CAN'T EVEN GO TO MY MAP, OR INCREASE TO 40% WHAT THE HELL?! DEVS YOU ARE HATING FUNNNNN

Can we get a new game mode option?
Like a neked mode (0 perks). Or a dark mode (no aura reading perks). Or slow mode (no booster perks). ANYTHING other than the hard tunneling and complaints from both sides. Mix it up. Let's go.

Map Rotation
After moaning about getting the same 4 maps every time I put dbd on I have to acknowledge a very pleasant surprise. I played 6 games last night and not a single repeat map. 6 games 6 different maps. If it's a fix thumbs up. Pity you can't stop cheaters as another constant flashlight blind even with lightborn equipped.

Change of map rng
Dear BHVR Team, I am writing to bring your attention to the current state of Map RNG and the significant impact it has on player experience. For about a week now, while playing as The Singularity, I have been consistently placed on indoor maps. This significantly restricts the gameplay experience. I have noticed a pattern…

Curious about how some killers act
So, as someone is still new and still struggling on both sides (Slowly getting better with Nemesis I think), I have noticed when I'm a survivor, some killers do… unusual things, I'm not sure how to describe it. I'll explain the situations I've seen. A. On the Toba Landing map (I think that's it's name, it's the one with…

Dustin and Eleven as Survivors is wrong.
I think it's a bad choice to add characters that are represented as children in 4 out of the 5 seasons. For the most part they are recognised as children characters and even in season 5 they are both 16. Yes they aged up characters before but that does not mean it's something they should do - it's a compromise that has…

Is there a 'Diversion' throw distance tech/trick I'm not aware of?
Played 3 matches so far today and alrdy 2 of those had at least one blatant cheater in it (teleporting/invisible/gens finishing with nobody on them). But the other match had me baffled about something that kept happening with the perk 'Diversion'. Is there a tech/trick to make it go crazy far or no? We are talking about…

Pallet delays
I don'I don't know if it's my internet or did something change? I'll be ready to stun the killer with a pallet. Then when I push the button nothing happens. The killer gets me. It seems like the only time it works is when the killer is to far away to stun. I play on a switch. I'm not for sure what i'm doing wrong? Or is…

Why do the devs tolerate such high ping?
This is the only game I play where lag is rewarded, where your ping can skyrocket into the hundreds, and you don't get kicked or punished. Why, in nearly 2026, is this still the status quo for the game?

Licensed Character Ideas
Who are some licensed characters y’all would like to see in game in the future? For me personally, I think Vincent Sinclair from House of Wax (2005) would fit in pretty well, and maybe there could be a legendary cosmetic of his twin brother, Bo Sinclair. I’d also like to see characters like Hannibal Lecter, The Terminator,…

License suggestions
I would personally like to see more from the FNAF dlc such as the original characters from the games Like Freddy Bonnie Chica Foxy and Golden Freddy as killers and maybe even William Afton, and for the survivors I would like to see Michael and Henry. I would also love the hellraiser license back which would bring Pinhead…
