They litterally buffed sluging
Ever since they removed the ability to recover while crawling with Tenacity, the game has been pretty rough on me. It’s insane how much killers love to slug, and the only perk that could help us with that got nerfed They tested changes in the PTB, didn’t even implement them, but still went ahead with the nerf! Slugging…

Step into the Void with our guide to Haunted By Daylight
Hey there forum folks! It's autumn, which means chilly fall air, carved pumpkins, and the return of our Haunted By Daylight event! In addition to bringing back Smoke Bombs and Captured Haunts, we've added some new tricks (patrolling Void Haunts) and treats (new additions to the Void Well) to keep you on your toes. Whether…

Skull merchant skin looks cool
Wish i could use it, but she's still unplayable. What was that about us not having to wait a year for her to get "Fixed" after you nerfed her intentionally to be useless?

Ice Nine Kills in DBD
A great band who have made plenty of songs about horror movies and games like The American Nightmare and Rainy Day, if we could get shirts like the Iron Maiden shirts that would be great. Also their new song The Laugh Track is fantastic.

The Freddy Bug is Killing Me
Anyone else main or play as Freddy? He randomly loses the ability to launch his snares and it's incredibly annoying. You have a snare charged, press the button to launch it and it literally cancels the power forcing you to recharge it. I reported it as a bug a while ago but I don't think it's gaining any attention.

DBD Jack O Latern Charm
Hello! Could behaviour add the code for ETERNALBLIGHT so we can redeem the Jack O Latern Charm. Would love to add this to my hook for Myers! Also how long does it take after signing up for the newsletter to get emails? I'm hoping to redeem the new bat and Jack O Latern charm!

Would leaving the 8th gen consoles behind improve performance and game play for 9th gen consoles/PC?
Are 8th gen consoles holding DBD back from better performance on more powerful hardware? GTA Online comes to mind- is DBD in the same boat where potentially focusing on the latest hardware will make better use of resources and improve QoL for the game overall? What are your thoughts?

why do I have so much lag

Lost grades 3x today...
TLDR: I lost grades 3x in my current play session, for reasons completely out of my control. I'm a 8k hour player, know this game inside out, but I do play exclusively solo. So why is this happening to me? No, not because I suck… because ppl were AFK, Cheating, or just complete tryhard nurse/blight/ghoul/krasue… wth BHVR?…

Wow! This year’s Halloween main event is the Skull Merchant and Felix!
So… how long is the Skull Merchant going to stay locked in the Punishment Cell? I’ve always loved her, and I’ve been waiting eagerly. Even though she was featured as the main visual for the event, she’s been stuck in the Punishment Cell the whole time. What kind of Halloween is this! This event should be renamed to…

I think it's the end for killer
Hey BHVR, as someone who's loved playing dead by daylight for the past 5 years, I'm struggling to play killer. Gens seem out of control, Gens pop so quickly these days the game just feels like it's constantly played at a fast pace for killer. I have no idea where my wins are going to come from playing killer without…

120 fps on Dead By Daylight Console
It would be a nice time to give console players on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S the fps option for more than 60 frames per second as you can increase your frames on PC. I think this would be an amazing feature to have in a future update.

Will houndmaster ever get anything?
Her only purple rarity outfit is locked behind the blood moon event and she has not gotten a single outfit since, not a single bug fix, not a single balance change since her release, and they still have not updated knotted rope which they said they were going to do, but I guess they just kind of forgot about that like how…

survivors need a coms wheel like dbd mobile had
I feel like alot of soloq survivors will find the game much more enjoyable and unlike the anti tunneling and slugging updates i dont see any reason why this cant be added as a QoL since we where unable to get the anti tunneling and slugging. it does not address the issue directly but will encourage teammates to coordinate…

can we add a longer cooldown to the regurgitation on krasue
killer spits on you. if they miss (somehow), they have essentially no cooldown. as soon as they hit you with their spit, they INSTANTLY go into head form and turn into a concoction of wraith and demogorgon (and legion to some extent, since she can vault pallets). maybe make it so that when the survivor gets regurgitated, a…

The Unknown Rework Concept – “Unravel” Crawl Ability
I've been brainstorming a rework concept for the Unknown. This rework makes his chase potential his defining trait while keeping his psychological horror theme intact. Tell me what you think! Primary Power – Unravel (Crawl Ability similar to mori) The Unknown drops to all fours, moving with unnatural, predatory fluidity.…

Every Event, the Same Toxic Behavior
Event games are miserable when killers start tunneling someone right from the beginning and BM everyone. If I remember correctly, every time an event is active, some people start playing like this. I can understand if someone isn’t very skilled and feels the need to tunnel to secure a kill, but when they add BM on top of…

How is Michael worse off then before?
Seriously how…. how did you make him EVEN WORSE. He doesnt even gain faster pallet break speed in Evil Incarnate Mode but he does in Pursuer Mode? How does that make sense why is his ultimate mode worse than one of his normal modes. This is gonna go down as the worst rework yall have ever done that does not rhyme with Bull…

Can we fix the Artist pallet bug please...
There are probably a couple other bugs she still has; I know bhvr has been fixing her a little lately but this has been a bug for months. The Artist's crows have collision with dropped pallets. This means that crows that should have been a direct hit end up swarming instead, significantly weakening Artist's anti-loop and…

Preset names
I actually kinda liked being able to name my builds, it made it easy to navigate back to some of my staple favourites that I don't change. This update though you can still name the presets but it reset them all that I had named already. I think it also removed some builds, I only know this because I have a build…

Slugging for the 4k
When the killer slugs for the 4k, I roll my eyes. I then proceed to crawl into a corner or as far away from the slug point so they waste more time trying to find me. You need it so bad? Work harder for it. Plus it gives me a little side quest so I'm not bored out of my mind. We both would have been on to next match if you…

Sable: From Entombment to Reverence
Yeah, I know - I’m probably gonna get called AI slop. Duh. We’ve all been using AI for years whether you admit it or not - your maps, filters, autocorrect, captions, Spotify, all of it. So keep your shame to yourself. I’m just being upfront about it. This is art, this is expression, and if that’s ‘AI slop’ - then bon…
-
Sexual in game motions should be bannable.
being slugged and humped by the killer needs to be a bannable offence, it can be triggering to someone who has been sexually abused and felt helpless.

Latest update deleted all my presets
Edit: it's only in the event queue as folks pointed out so I can deal. But woof, that's not a great first impression of the event
-
It's not that big of a deal but still.
It’s nearly 2026, bloodpoints are plentiful and Bloodweb items are overflowing, yet time and again, random queue survivors still enter lobbies empty-handed. At the very least bring along a simple brown toolbox. We sometimes complain that playing solo is miserable, and it can be, but it’s hard to make that case when more…

Who's really suffering from pallets?
I've seen a lot of discussion these days about the recent increase in pallets on maps. I thought, "Who's really suffering from pallets?" I made my own tier list. Each killer deserves an in-depth discussion; for example, Wraith, with the right add-ons, could easily be moved to the "eats pallets" category. Or Skull Merchant,…

Community Talk: Entombment & Reverence — Potential vs. Execution
After going through the Entombment and Reverence Rifts, the community has strong, mixed opinions. Both Rifts had amazing concepts - ancient, entombed vibes and cathedral-like stained-glass aesthetics - but the execution fell short. We’re not just venting. DBD players care deeply, and BHVR needs to hear this: we see the…

It's just me, or Survivors queue are getting longer?
Before the update it was like instant Survivor queue, and around 1 minute for Killer. But now I have to queue for 1-2 mins for Survivor, but almost instant for Killer. The BP Bonus becomes killer much more often than before. It's just me or anyone feels the same?

Overture of doom probably the worst hex perk currently
Not gonna say worst perk in general currently. But after running it for numerous games (I didnt know how bad it was) and facing it twice (thats when I figured this stuff out). Its pretty bad. It curses you the moment you touch any gen revealing itself making the idea of it being a stealth perk questionable. Its a hex so…

What is the logic with this matchmaking?
Hi! Very new player here and i'm just wondering is there any kind of "balanced" matchmaking system in this game? Cuz I really dont see how this is balanced in any way as a new player, playin as both killer and survivor i am facing some ultra sweatlords that I have totally 0 chance against, I've won some games as killer yes…

New abandon feature ruining the game.
new abandon feature where you can abandon after being picked up twice from the dying state is game ruining. Making it too easy to give up.

Pallets.
Whoever decided the maps needed 1,000,000 pallets must be out of their mind this game killer side was already an anxiety riddled humiliation ritual now you add a pallet every two steps? Adding insult to injury at this point.

New perk idea for survivor
Breakaway Burst (Survivor Perk) Description: The moment you’re freed, pure panic fuels your escape. Effect: When you are unhooked (by yourself or another Survivor), you gain an additional 80% Haste for 4 seconds. This effect cannot activate while Exhausted. Causes the Exhausted status effect for 30/25/20 seconds. “You…

Current map balance (post 9.2.0) - with tier-list
So, here we are again, talking about the map balance. Now that I have had more time to fully test out the maps, and fairly extensively too, I can make a better judgement on how (at least) I feel about the current state of the maps. The TL:DR is in the image A more in-depth breakdown below Pretty balanced for both sides…

Why was monitor and abuse nerfed?
In the course of 8 years this perk has existed How come only now did this perk received a nerf all of a sudden?

Lethal Pursuer
Since Distortion was ruined there is no counter to this perk. Feels like every match all the Survivors start together and then the Killer is there in like 3 seconds.

Hook RNG
Had this wonderful hook spawn layout today. Not a single hook in this whole huge area. I've never noticed a hook dead zone this bad. Everytime I tried to pick someone up the hooks were too far and I had to drop them again. I'm not the slugging type, but this forced me to leave people on the ground and re-pursue them once…

why the ghoul is not getting nerfed
two hit and run killers: if the legion misses just once during his power, he gets stunned and receives a full cooldown before he can reuse the power. if the ghoul misses during his power, he gets free retries with generous time to do so. he also has shorter overall cooldown (no addons). i think i may know why. one of them…

Idea for an Anti-Tunnel Mechanic
Tonight I was thinking about anti-tunnel mechanics and what could help dissuade killers from tunneling, without punishing them the way the 9.2.0 PTB did. I think survivors are generally stronger than the killer, and the anti-tunnel changes certainly nerfed killers. I’m glad they didn’t implement the changes, but I still…

Slugging for the 4k and why it is holding the game hostage.
A survivor can't do anything but hide when the killer is slugging for the 4k. the last surv doesn't have any options other than going for the downed person or doing the 1-5 gens which either way results in a likely down. so the game is at a stale mate until ( A ) the downed person bleeds out or ( B ) the killer finds the…
