So...when will a bot replace an AFK person
Why is it your searching for a match and just don't stay near your controller and yes I get sometimes you might need to use the washroom or maybe the batteries in you controller died but I'm sorry I have a feeling if the survivor is not to move from the time the match starts to the first or how about this second Crow their…

Sadako is just not fun to play, will they ever revisit this killer?
I'm not even going to talk about whether she's strong or not (I'll just say I don't think she is) because some killers can be weak and fun at the same time. But as someone with over 2k hours on this killer, mained since release, I actually think she is in a worse state than her original version with the 100 second TV…

How do you feel about the Nurse rework?
Here are the changes. Buff, after using 1 blink charge, the second blink will lock onto a survivor for a guaranteed hit. Buff, hits with a blink apply deep wounds. Buff, movement speed increased to 115%. Buff, after injuring a survivor the nurse unlocks a 3rd blink for a duration. Buff, if a survivor vaults a window or…

Does DBD have Engagement-Based Matchmaking or am I crazy?
I was watching a few Marvel Rivals videos a while back because I’m planning on getting back into it (inb4 50 people tell me that’s a mistake) and something that kept coming up was EBMM, or Engagement-Based Matchmaking. For those of you who don’t know, EBMM is a matchmaking system like SBMM that prioritises quick queues and…

When are coldwind maps going to be revisited?
Not as problematic as Forgotten Ruins, but these maps have a common trend of lacking resources. Their sizes for the most part are very fair, but there needs to be more structure loops in the corn fields, atm they are all just deadzones that sometimes have a really weak filler. Put some window loops in there, maybe a new…

Both sides rely on their meta/popular genre perks too much. How is this fun and why?
Whenever I play both sides, at least 80% of the builds are the same genre perks. Killer: braindeadly running 3~4 slowdowns Survivors: Exaustion perks, second chance perks and Windows of opportunity. Doing these doesn't guarante a escape/kills but they still run the same thing like a door swinging back and forth. I have…

Is this bannable?
I saw this on one of kyto's videos and I loved how it looked. I would like to try it myself however I dont know if I can be banned for this or not? Will I be banned if I attempt to make the game look like this? If I wont be banned how do I even do this?

Werewolf killer this, arachnid killer that...
...I think BHVR should put a wolf spider (a type of spider) on one of the maps as an easter egg, similar to the tanuki on Yamaoka I would post a picture of a wolf spider but I don't want to set off anyone's arachnophobia, feel free to Google it if you're curious though

Is everyone looking forword to all the Cosplays that might be in the next rift?
Since the rift might be walking dead themed, and theres allot of characters in the walking dead, there might be like 70% cosplays in the next rift like they did for castlevania :) is everyone hoping for those? Maybe glen cosplay for dwight or maggie cosplay for meg? Neegan cosplay for trickster?

Get the Horror Attraction Banner via Code
A month ago, there was a collaboration between Dead By Daylight and Discord, where players could earn the Horror Attraction Banner by complete the Discord quest of playing 15 minutes DbD. However, many players had either no access to the quest or it was not aviable in their region. Now, the banner is free for everyone by…

Ghoul is Skull Merchant 2
Honestly, no one I've seen wants to play against this killer. This is so reminiscent of when Skull Merchant came out. The DC timer was turned off and all I could see was people using it to DC against ghoul, and rightfully so, it's such a painful experience. How this killer hasn't been nerfed yet is beyond me

9.1.0 | PTB Patch Notes
Important Due to known technical issues, Michonne will not be playable in the PTB. However, her three unique Perks are available to test. Players will still be able to see her in the Lobby and in the Store, but will not be able to select her to play in a Trial. These issues will be resolved and Michonne will be…

Matches feel dreadful now the event is over
Basically the above. My matches have been absolutely miserable since the event ended, and the only way to get anywhere at all is to be so tryhard and mean that I stop being able to have fun. My theory is that only the super hardcore players who weren't even in the event queue are still around and everyone else has left:…

If Houndmaster could have a 3rd dog command, what would it be?
My idea was like a protective mode. When the dog is in this mode while you are walking around the dog stays close by your side (Much like he does anyways when walking) should a survivor come within X amount of meters of The Houndmaster he will attempt a quick lunge for a grab. (Just pitching an idea)

scourge hook buffs
what if we make it so 5 scourge hooks spawn in instead of 4, and they spawn in around the corners of the map and 1 in the middle? This way u wouldnt get screwed over by rng.

Average party size 2019 (what do you think?)
3-6% of matches were against a 4 man SWF. This data, even though it's quite old, is still relevant to this day since the average party size doesn't change by a massive amount over the years. https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/61114/community-community-data-requests Please spark some debates in here

"M1 Killer" Does Not (Inherently) Mean "Weak Killer"
I've had the idea for this post in mind for ages, I'm not subtweeting anyone here lol This is a thing you'll see people reference in passing quite a bit. If something harms lower-tier killers, it'll often be phrased as hurting M1 killers, or you'll see people say "M1 killers don't have the luxury of doing [X] thing". My…

Can we address the environmental collisions for a second?
So we all know Tricksters rework is finally coming up in 2026 and I heard that a decent amount of known Trickster players were talked to in terms of what would happen with the rework. So I am hoping this would include the increasing number of spots not only Trickster but also Death Slinger (To a lesser extent Unknown,…

Do you think we'll ever get a wolfman Killer?
Now that the Grimoire has been updated it looks like we're getting an angelic Killer, which I guess I'm okay with, even if I'm surprised at its popularity. But for a moment I was really excited at the prospect of the 'chimeric' type Killer, especially if it had gone in a wolfman/werewolf direction. 'innocent person who…

fix Crouch tech
Hello everyone, as an elder of this game, having legacy prestige and having played this game for more than 9k hours, I want to raise the topic of Crouch tech. And this trick is a bug and a flaw of the developers, the developers write that they fixed it, but this is a lie. Such characters as the villager, Mor, Victor,…

This map is super duper unbalanced. Way too small, way too punishing if you pop all gens in either the upstairs floor or the dungeon, and horrendous pallet and window spawns. Pls tell me you have plans to fix it 🙏

Is Kindred a “Must Run” Perk?
I was watching a moderately well-known streamer the other day who was saying that Kindred should always be in your survivor build unless you’re a 4-man team on comms. The argument is that it’s so much better than any other perk you could bring because of the information it gives you. I’ve always considered it to be a…

Top 5 most wanted killers
Here are the top 5 killers I would love to see in the game and please let me know yours. The Wolfman (2010) Since the game is produced by universal I'm surprised they haven't had the classic monsters yet. I do think the 2010 wolfman would fit the esthetic perfectly. He could have an all fours running ability to help chase…

DBD League is not Dead by Daylight...it's Dead by Deduction.
It's basically a small discord clique's opinion of what Dead by Daylight should be. I watched the finals and read over their rules/balance list and it's a completely different game that is greatly watered down in complexity. They have so many silly rules and a massive list of banned add-ons and perks and perk combinations,…

Why people claim Killer got suddenly hard to play?

About the Grimoire and how I think this killer could turn out.
Killer is Divine + Otherworldly Divine meaning “Godly, relating to a God. Pointing something like an angel or related to a “good” entity. I am thinking this could point to a situation where there is another entity or God like being that is the opposite of what the entity represents. Because the entity itself feeds on Hope…

People just dc instead of self unhooking now
One thing that i have noticed increasing tremendously now is that people will now just dc on first hook and rage quit since they can't self unhook. Now i know that we have bots now which do help (i did just 3 man escape out of my last match with the bot) but i find it wierd that people are just increasingly disconnecting.…

Should I not play Ghoul?
So when Ghoul came out, I immediately got him to prestige 6. I love Tokyo Ghoul. It was one of the first anime I watched and have quite a few a good chunk of the manga as well.

who was ur first ever killer, and who did u decide to main and why?
For my first, it was legion. I just liked the idea of running around the map like flash and stabbing people nonstop, it was fun at first but after a while i just realized what a truly weak killer he WAS so i stopped. But then i found knight, and i just really connected w him the instant i tried him, his playstyle, his…

So can we expect Vigil to be getting fixed in The Walking Dead chapter?
For those who don't know vigil is currently bugged to be 66% faster recovery of the slew of status effects instead of 40%. I would unironically go as far as to kill switch it because if every survivor is running it… The average status effect duration would be cut more than in half.

What killers would be fine with just a addon pass and slight changes?
Since we saw this kind of with Pyramid head with them making some parts base kit (range and trail duration and rites of judgement time) and them completely overhauling his addons (amazing pass btw love it outside of 2 that might be busted). I would include Billy but they also added overdrive in place of overheat. What…

DC Penalties must be back ASAP
As far as i know, the DC penalties are not enabled - i don't know why.

Deja vu again and again and again
Ok another 2 games today 8 survivors running deja vu. What is the upcoming change to this perk? Is it going to be a nerf or buff? I don't play survivor but I'd hate to think it's a buff because I see enough of it as it is. Which / what is it? Curiosity killed the cat and all that.

I'm playing on EU servers, so not…

What counts as "extreme slugging situations", for the upcoming anti-slug?
