Idea For Killer To Stall Tunneling And Slugging
As a killer, the times I slug are: -I down / hook a survivor, and am actively aware there are 1 to 3 other survivors nearby. (This happens 9:10 matches, where most of the survivors will just gang around a hook or body to recover the downed person instead of repairing gens to pressure me to leave) -I am facing a survivor I…

How I would implement an Anti-tunnel feature that WONT make every Killer crash out, with only 1 perk
My idea would be simple. Giga buff pain res. Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance 6 hooks turn to scourge hooks, you have 4 tokens. When you hook a survivor on a Scourge Hook, lose one token - if the survivor was a unique hook, the generator with the highest repair explodes, loses 50% of its repair progress, reveals survivors who…

The "Learn To Play Killer" Reasoning
Could someone please explain the mindset behind the response? Learn to play the killer instead of slugging and tunneling. I was under the assumption those two were strategies. Very often I'm forced to slug; survivor crawls under pallet and I am actively aware 2, sometimes all 3 other survivors are right around the corner…

Intentionally bad patch theory
BHVR knows the anti-hooking (not tunneling by definition) changes suck, they wouldn’t allow them to be toggled off in private games if they didn’t. They’re know it’s a slap in the face to add extra pallets to increase looping while also decreasing most forms of regression that don’t require constant catching and downing of…

Stop making SURVIVORS HOT!
Forget all the "Anti tunnel/slugging changes will ruin/save the game," stop making survivors hot! That's the most overpowered ######### in the game! Imagine trying to stab someone, but this is in your face the whole time: And don't even get me started on Sable. Every time I mori her as the Shape, we lock eyes and I envision the…

Are people really that upset about the anti-tunnel?
So I might have a small brain or something but I don't know why people are upset about it. The idea is just saying "hey don't be sweaty and try to spread hooks around" I have played both killer and survivor and I will say I have tunneled once or twice when I was having a bad day. But I don't understand why people are upset…

How is everyone feeling about map offerings being gutted now? 👀
Survivors how are you feelings with map offerings being gutted now that you can’t choose Macmillan and Erie Of crows much anymore lol. Scratch mirror myers mains how are you feeling?? No more Hawkins Lerys or Midwich?? This message is for everyone.

They're turning 1v4 into 2v8
I suspect 2v8 is so popular that the goal is to make 1v4 replicate that experience. They've just increased the pallet density on pretty much every map. They nerfed strategic play styles. They gave both sides enough base kit to constitute a "class" in 2v8. The more frustrating, higher skill curve stuff is just not going to…

As a community, can we stop being mains on one side or the other?
Seriously, this past week as shown the worst of all of us on either side. Personally, I thought some of the changes were too much, but wanted the patch to go through with the right adjustments to make killer less tedious to dance around the rules, while keeping the abusable aspects down that survivors would inevitably use…

Anyone Else Remember Almo's warning and insight?
"Disclaimer: after 6 fun years of working on DBD with an amazing team, I've moved on to another studio to work on something new. These opinions are mine, and not those of Behaviour Interactive. First, it's extremely hard to set up an asymmetric game of any kind that works. From a game design perspective, you're not able to…

What Character(s) Would You Love To See Added To DBD?
Since DBD is focusing on adding many horror icons, there are an infinite number of possibilities for having characters added into DBD, rather it be unique Killers or Survivors, or cosmetic replaces similar to that of Chris Redfield's inclusion into the game. I think it goes without saying that James A. Janisse should 100%…

Ideas to make phase 2 better for killers
We all know that phase 2 was not well received by killer mains so I have some ideas to make it more tolerable experince for killers overall. First I think it's fair to say survivors got more than enough changes and some of them might be even considered overtuned. Overall balance: in my opinion there is no question that the…

An attempt at better anti-tunnel
So kinda follow up on my post about why people weren't happy with the anti-tunnel. So I decided I'll try making a version that seems fair...in some way you can't be perfect not no perks will be changed that would take to long so if it says perks effected kinda just think whatever perks are closest to it. Also feel free to…

Go Big or Go Home - BHVR Chooses Go Home
Like a lot of people I'm not surprised things are getting delayed, but, like a lot of what has happened this summer, this feels like such an unforced error on BHVR's part that leaves everyone angry. Of course the patch was going to be met with massive backlash, so will withdrawing it. Any large scale change will get that…

Did Anti-Slugging also needed to be postponed?
I think Anti-Slugging was much less problematic or exploitable compared to Anti-tunneling update. And even if it needed extra polishing, I think it would be possible to change it before PTB goes live, as it was mostly fine imo.

Killers Crying about changes once AGAIN!
it honestly never fails, its always a killers word over survivors - we have been begging for changes like Tunneling and Slugging to come to the game for YEARS and i already know they are going to change it again just to make it useless. The only thing they need to change as far as the Tunneling feature goes is this…

BHVR needs to lock in.
Stop making Survivors feel bad to play. Stop making Killers lose all their strategies. Revert Clown, revert Fog Vials, don't push the anti-tunnel changes to live, and play your ######### game, BHVR! We don't want Walking Dead era BHVR anymore, give us something to be happy about. Thanks!

Surprise surprise.....not
So i can't tell if everyone has decided to try and force behaviors hand by rage tunneling and slugging but this has been the single worst night for it so far.

Ex-Dev says 9.2.0 will destroy Killers

This game is becoming so survivor sided
So what happens if you hook survivor A You then cannot find survivors B, C and D but survivor A makes a mistake and you hook them again, this is only two hooks and you may have the intention of not tunnelling them out of the game. they get mad and let themselves die on hook, you now can’t kick gens and the remaining…

Thanks devs, but…
Delaying/reworking the “anti-tunnel” and anti-slug changes is the right choice. However, I’ve said it here a couple times and I’ll say it again: with how quickly so many people saw the flaws in these ideas, even before the announcement of the numbers, it’s disheartening that the devs were even considering these changes.…

New Anti-Pig tech found
My friends and I were playing the PTB, just checking things out y'know, and I decided that since one of my favorite pig builds had been changed due to the alterations to many perks, I'd play pig against them.

So what should you do as trapper if a survivor gets unhooked from 2nd and runs right into your trap?
Saw this happen a few times and come up in conversation. Same for pinhead if they immedately grab the box and start to solve it after being unhooked. Or springtrap if they go into a door. Stuff they know that would get them killed, but If the killer acts on it. They are the ones being the bad for acting on...the thing the…

Theory about slugging/tunneling changes
The updated QOL road map has the updates to slugging/tunneling (as well as camping) coming up in October-January. However, they're being tested in the upcoming PTB, which also has the folklore killer that the roadmap promises for September. I think this likely means that the current iteration of anti-Tunnel and anti-Slug…

Why do you think there is a Public Test Build?
So, I wanted to take the time to remind everyone that this latest patch was on the Public Test Build. While it was always possible it would go through to live unchanged, that wasn't a given. It has not been completely canceled, they are going to look at it again, make some changes, and likely do another PTB in the future.…

I think Dead by Daylight being boring is the problem
Holding M1 on generators is boring. Crouch-walking to the next generator is boring. All of this stuff is boring, except interacting with the killer. But when the killer is too good or their powers are too OP, you get to sit on a hook or on the floor where you get to do nothing. I really, honestly believe that the biggest…

pallet density is getting ridicuous and is being buffed further
against killers without anti pallet or mobility, it is reaching the point on many maps where if survivors simply w key pallet>pallet and predrop them all they will not run out before 5 gens are done this is not interesting for either side and just pushes people to play high tier killers, i dont get how this is okay

Shoulder the burden on PTB
I dont have access to PTB, so was really hoping someone who DOES could test this.

August 2025 Update
It’s honestly incredible—finally a buff for the poor survivors. In the next patch, I’m sure the killers will be the ones repairing generators, and the survivors will have to kill them .-. I wonder what goes through the developers’ heads when they decide to add a buff like this, considering that a killer already has to…

why is bhvr obsessed with only the first chase mattering?
i don't get all these constant changes to make the game snowball immensely hard in eiher direction from the outcome of the first chase with these new changes, having a really bad first chase will just be truly unrecoverable for the killer, whilst a strong earlygame gives them extra momentum from chaining unique hooks i…

Behaviour need to STOP killers slugging when only 2 players left.

In my games killers win 90%-90% of the time, because they have EVERY advantage - there's about 40 killers in the game, EVERY one has totally different mechanics to…

Hello everyone, It is kinda impossible to see all the posts about the anti Slug and Anti Tunnel coming to DbD soon.

Yes the Survivors can repair the…

So I want to get straight to the point that Sadako would need an update after this chapter drops in the near future.
