So what exactly is tunneling (according to BHVR)?
In the recent livestream BHVR said they have 3 definitions of tunneling. Only going for one Survivor. 2. Hooking the same Survivor twice in a row. ????? (They blanked out in it.) This has lead me to have a series of questions and concerns regarding the term. What is the third definition? Some people told me 1 kill before 6…

What are the chances we'll see Jake Muller as a survivor?
I'm wondering if Albert Wesker's son could ever make it into the game as a survivor. His relationship with Sherry Birkin could make for a really interesting duo, maybe as a two survivor chapter or even a skin collection. Do you think Behaviour would ever prioritize them, or would they focus on more popular characters like…

Everything is the Killer’s fault apparently.
this is the survey that you get after uninstalling DBD and also where the devs got the information about slugging being the main reason for people uninstalling. The problem here is that the only role specific options here are against Killers only. So no wonder they never mentioned why Killers uninstall because it…

New chapter
I also would like a strangers movie chapter ! That would be very cool ! The movie just came out

Devs, PLEASE consider "Quality of Life" as your priority for PTB
Houndmaster is a PRIME example of WHAT NOT TO DO in making a new killer, and updating them. The state they are in make me actively and violently angry. Not just because of how buggy they are, but how PREVALENT AND COMMON these bugs seem to be. Kaneki's overpowered state came from the PTB being so buggy you couldn't use his…
-
Abandon and stats
I decided to run a test to verify whether abandons actually affect escape rates and yes, they do. Matches where you abandon or disconnect are excluded from your stats. Since my last session, I've played a total of 27 matches with one survivor, but only 19 were counted. Why? Because 7 were abandons and 1 was a disconnect,…

Maybe there's some potential for this "QoL" pallet update
Don't know if this was already discussed before, but BHVR could balance killers a little bit by increasing or decreasing the number of pallets depending of the killer's tier. Let's say that X map comes with 10 pallets by default and then if the killer is Trapper or Ghostface the game adds 3 or 5 more pallets, but if it's…

Scott Jund says the new patch is one sided...Devs confused...
Do YOU agree or disagree?

Please don't bring back this event ever again
One of the worst events that we had. The only incentive to play was the rift rewards (if you care about them), but other than that, it's just been awful. Poor BPs, no rewarding powers, extremely one sided void. The main game mode was more fun than this.
-
Wow they actually did it. They made the game more survivor sided
The tunneling, camping and slugging aren"t the only reason why people are quiting the game. Its also because gens are flying way to fast, the meta is stale and repetetive and the reason why killers are tunneling, camping and slugging is because those are strategies to win And IT DOESN"T ALWAYS MEAN THAT KILLERS ARE…
-
How exactly killers being able to see where every gen and hook are is not handholding?
I think it's honestly pretty obvious majority of killer players wouldn't last a day as killer if they weren't able to see where every generator is and had to go find them and the survivors working on it manually. Same for finding a hook while carrying a survivor and it's pretty funny how strong Boil Over it's at that.…

The Walking Dead: Perk Feedback
It's been just over 3 months since the release of The Walking Dead chapter, and while it came with some really fun perks, some of them are really not powerful enough. This is how I'd personally like to see them changed. Apocalyptic Ingenuity Reduced the Chest Search requirement from 2 to 1. This perk is genuinely useless…

A Modest Proposal to Fix the Exit Survey
There's been a lot of discussion over the past day about the all important exit survey. There seems to be substantial concern that killers aren't getting the same opportunity that survivors are. I'm going to change my tune. I think it is very important that we treat killers and survivors the same on this. BHVR, please…

Cheat/glitch?
I just saw someone (a couple games ago, didn't realize until now cos I was thinking about the skin n saw it wasn't in the shop) playing with this skin. I didn't get to report them, and I could not see their name/profile due to me being on steam.

How does giving survivors their hitbox back after unhook stop them from weaponizing the anti tunnel
So in the proposed changes for the ptb one of the changes they made from the previous ptb is making it so that survivors have their hitbox again after unhook. They say the reason they did this because before survivors were using the anti tunnel changes offensive which wasnt meant to be used this way but I dont understand…

Dbd NEEDS to make new/casual players happy to survive long term
This is because dead by daylight is not the kind of game where the average player is going to be some 5k hour pro who plays the game like they're a comp player. The average (read MOST) newer and casual players are what many people in the fandom would call "bad players." People who don't play the game in the smartest way…
-
Can you please rework Spine Chill already?
The perk went from great to unusably bad in a matter of one patch, can you please just rework it already? If you want to improve the new player experience giving them general perks that are not complete trash would be a good start.
-
Why do they never address why killers actually tunnel ?
The devs keep bringing up that tunneling, camping and slugging are unhealthy parts of the game, but never why they accure. A big component as to why these situations happen is because the killer role just doesn´t have enough tools to combat things like fast gen speeds, rapid healing speeds or just purely unbalanced maps.…

You should be able to attempt self unhook if you can abandon.
The changes that where made a while back to not allow self unhook has took away player choices when everyone is down, if everyone left in match is slugged you can abandon, but you cant attempt to unhook yourself if it was your first hook. in my opinion if the game is giving the abandon option it should also give the self…

Why are these bad faith arguments about tunneling so common?
When I say "bad faith arguments" I mean the people who like making them know these arguments don't make sense to the most basic levels of scrutiny but yet seem to dominate discussions about DBD across social media. Particularly whenever topics of "tunneling" became the center point for everyone to give their opinions.…

A Small but Impactful Detail Regarding Certain Killers.
Sounds effects. Recently there was (maybe still is, though I think I saw it was fixed in the patch notes) a bug with Pyramid Head that made it so you didnt get a sound effect when successfully hitting somebody with your power. Despite this having absolutely nothing to do with gameplay, this did actually change the way I…

Dc matches not counting in stats.

10 Rarest Achievements (October 2025)
I went through Steam stats and found the 10 rarest achievements in dbd right now. With 288 total in the game, these are the ones barely anyone has unlocked. Not surprised to see Jump Scared (0.2%) at the top — grabbing survivors in the Security Office is insanely rare unless you farm it. Adepts also take up most of the…

Something to add to the next Halloween event
So if a survivor is downed in the void...the killer can just slug with no problem. So why not have it be survivors can exit the void even when downed just so it prevents that.

DBD Experiments: An Exercise in Futility
I am trying to remember the ideas, projects, and powers that BHVR put into DBD, that sounded good on paper but in reality they were rubbish. If anyone else remembers other cases please let me know. 1.) (More) Complex Killer Counterplay Prime examples include The Singularity and The Xenomorph. The idea of Survivor…

The primary reason most are miserable playing dbd
There are many things in this game that can attribute to the game not being fun on either side, weather it be tunneling, camping, t bagging, taunting, griefing, slugging, bullying etc. But what do all of those have in common? There is a player on the other end, choosing to make another person miserable either as their…

How do we feel about perk removal?
When a perk is very situational, useless and non viable, people often ask for reworks. Of course I support the idea that all perks should be viable and have some use. But I feel like we're in a weird situation right now. Many perks have very similar function as other perks, but are more situational, have stricter…

Why don't people enjoy playing him?
Why don't people enjoy playing him? I've been playing him since the day he came out, and I think he's the only fun killer in DBD. No other killer has appealed to me as much as him, but why don't people like playing him? He has style and a good power (if you're skilled and know how to use it, and don't spam it randomly).

Here is an example of a player feedback survey that's not rigged to be survivor sided
Here is an example of a player feedback survey that's not rigged to be survivor sided. The reason why I'm posting this, is because the official exit surveys were rigged to be survivor sided, and therefore the survey results are invalid. In this survey… Survivor issues AND killer issues are both clearly in the survey…

People just love ruining events
It's an event and people still tunnel and slug...YOUR NOT IN A CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH WHY SWEAT. Also a 3k still counts as a win no reason to slug when people are left.

Wesker..
I have to say I really love the job done on this killer. Lol The voice actor sounds so similar to re5 you can barely tell the difference. I especially love when he finds a survivor in a locker and says: "There's no point in hiding."

Random question about general movement
I've played dbd for so long that i just spam the A and D keys while I'm moving. I don't do this in other games. Idk when the habit came but it's been there a long time. Anyone else do the same and have any "answer" as I'm pretty curious on why we do it.

Is BHVR going to reduce the "Esoteric Hooks" on Part 4 like they did on Part 1 of the Event?
They reduced the "Hook 20 survivors on esoteric hooks" to "4". Now Part 4 wants us to "Hook 40 survivors on esoteric hooks". Is BHVR going to reduce this to "8"? 40 is a lot of just hanging out in the void and trying to farm to make that happen.
-
Why don't you mention why killer players uninstall the game?
I understand that survivor players want to avoid uninstalling the game. However, killer players must have their own reasons for uninstalling the game. Does this mean that killer players aren't recognized as users? If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to just make all killers bots?

Devs are trying to make the killer as unfun and unrewarded as possible
I don't like "us vs them" mentality, but recent and upcoming changes are just ridiculous. I honestly don't see myself playing killer anytime soon. Devs managed to make playing killer a chore, stressful and full of "ifs" with punishments. I've always believed that a carrot is more effective than a stick, but in the end, the…

Maggie Rhee Skin Looks...

Can someone or has someone made a bug report about Springtrap's audio?
Since 9.2.0, Springtrap received a bug that altered the SFX of his footsteps that sounds more like a survivor's shoes, and it affects every cosmetic from the default to every variant of it. Yellow Rabbit and Glitchtrap might have the opposite effect where their walking SFX is louder than normal. This has led to The…

Should Abandoning leave bots?
I'm personally of the opinion that DC bots should've never been a thing, as I feel they cause more problems than they solve, but I suppose there's no going back on those now. But what about for abandon? In most cases, the match is more or less over, so what's the point of having bots at that point? If people could abandon…
