What counts as "extreme slugging situations", for the upcoming anti-slug?
What counts as "extreme slugging situations", for the upcoming anti-slug? If the killer is forced to slug a survivor for an extended period of time, because the only hook within range is currently broken by the Breakdown perk, would that count as an "extreme slugging situation"? If the killer has multiple survivors…

How many scream pies did you end with?
I got 6631 on survivor! although only a few hundred on killer.

The beginner's problem
I saw a very interesting and objective video about the HUGE problems of beginner players. Over the years, I've tried to introduce new friends to DBD, but I've almost never succeeded, and now I don't recommend DBD to anyone (as the boy in the video also says) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnZYfzmIj8M I'll summarize the…

Basekit changes for Survivor and Killer
First of all, having had a pause from the game and coming back, to have found that DBD has taken initiative to fix certain core gameplay elements, not with situational perks, but with core gameplay changes, like Built in Borrowed Time, the Hatch closing mechanic, and allowed slugging/all hooked DC, makes me proud! The…

Chat function for console players
I‘m playing on ps5 and I really don‘t understand why the devs make such a big drama out of the chat function for console. I just want to be able to communicate! There is nothing wrong to take a bit longer to write out stuff. If people don‘t want to wait, so be it, but it is actually manageable to write on the console TV…

anyone find killer unappealing to play these days?
im talking about the bugs not the balance so many killers are bugged its borderline unappealing to play not to mention the horrible rubberbanding that has been going on lately from the fact that sadako has been legally blind and has buggy tv icons for i think months now? to vector bouncing off to the fact pig traps…

why tf do my settings keep resetting every launch its really pisses me off
Every time I launch the game all my keybinds are reset and actions are set to toggle. Sometimes I forget to change all the settings before going into a match and it causes me to miss skillchecks or go down sometimes. Its really annoying since I change a decent amount of keybinds. Anyone know what is causing this to happen?

What is your favorite non-meta perk that comes in clutch and wins you the game ?
Wake Up! I love this perk. I just got a 4 person SoloQ escape with this against a Spirit by opening the gate and taking a protection hit. All my teammates made it 🙌 Also, a 3 SoloQ escape against an aggressive Trapper. I was able to open the gate quickly and unhook the teammate right by the gate 🙌 I didn't expect to…

"Addons are 20% of the killer power (c) Cote at some point very long time ago" tierlist
Made a tierlist of how much I think this statement is still accurate for modern day DbD. My main criteria would be how much worse these killer would feel without their addons, how much they rely on them to be viable and how much of a difference the addons really make. Tremendous difference are things like iri stone / bag…

Seeing Each Other's Perks Will Backfire
There are so many people who believe if it isnt meta or something they like - it isnt worth running. This is harmful to newer players or even others who like mixing it up or play for fun (not just for escapes). Survivors are already fairly toxic, and I imagine this will just exasperate it. I have been left on hook to die…

How would you rework “This is not happening”
I’ll go first.. “Under extreme pressure you seem to focus better allowing you to multitask!” Granting you 5 tokens at the start of the trial, any survivor nearby you within X amount of meters upon hitting a great skill check will partially also heal the injured survivor. Tokens refill on each hook the killer gets. I just…

Help or tips against Wraith Please 🙏🏼
He can do this? I made sure I was snug into that pallet but by appearing he cancelled out my ability to vault? https://youtu.be/rulIwWuWvRY?si=d3B05JeBzFUg8Gep

infectious fright
problematic with slugging? because thats my experience especially with kaneki's ,even worse on small maps like haddonfield or saloon, they can be anywhere on any map within 5 seconds , no 1 should have to bring a build to counter this ,no 1 should have to bring a build to counter anything on both sides, with the changes to…

Unhook Attempts Without Unhook Perks/Addons
I just had an odd game, I just wanted some input as to what I might be missing. Maria and Ada Wong remained alive. I found and hooked Maria, but then her hook-meter went from full to 50% very quickly, as if she was attempting unhooks. It looked exactly like the old "unhook repeatedly to die, to give last Victim a chance at…

Wake Up Is A Stronger Perk Now (Or, Common Community Commentary)
It's not uncommon these days to see people reference, in passing and as part of a wider point or comment, the notion that Wake Up was nerfed, typically with language like "killed", "gutted", or "deleted". I'm not sure why, though. I've been using this perk more since the last change it got, and it's pretty unambiguously…

The Trickster is getting more than just a power change...map, volume and more?
I'm a huge fan of the trickster and according to DBD stats I have like 800 hours with just him XD but I'm worried about his changes and him losing his identity. Although that is a concern of mine, I'd like to talk about a related topic and that is that according to BHVR his changes are probably in March and a while ago at…

What A Way To End Off The Twisted Masquerade
Dumped 10 Prestige Levels worth of Bloodpoints in to Nea and guess how many Coconut Scream Pie I ended up with? The rates for this year were horrible, I have no idea why they were decreased. Youd think for the last time the Twisted Masquerade would ever be here, that they would do some sort of massive send-off or something…

In your opinion is ghoul boring to face
Now everyone has those killers they don't like. Either it be Nurse, Wraith, Twins(if those people do exist) and so on but in my opinion ghoul can be boring not because simply...not much in the terms of counter play KEEP THOSE PITCHFORKS DOWN Listen closest I can put this to is Nurse but Nurse kinda has a better reason for…
-
so this is the vision with the ghoul
not bodyblocking playstyle, not "killer you have to loop because you cant run from them", it actually is "the killer you just die against because power autopilots every aspect of the game". yeah, i give up, nuke him

Is it possible to unreport someone?
I just had a survivor match with a Springtrap on Greenville and we had this Dwight who was using invisibility hacks (he also had an inappropriate name). At the end of the match I wanted to report the Dwight, but it has been a while since I reported someone and I was trying to remember how to report, and when I did…

Asking for clarification in terms of yesterday's revelation about Ghoul
I'm here to forward someone else's (@Lukadoosh) Twitter post on here: "Hi @/deadbydaylight, on the recent Reddit Q&A you mentioned that The Ghoul "stopping you in place" while vaulting is not a bug. I want to ask properly here in case this was a miscommunication. For each of these scenarios, is the behavior shown intended?…

Anyone have some fun Legion builds?
Usually I just toss some common or uncommon addons on Legion and try to make it work, but last night decided to change things up since the event was giving me plenty of BPs to buy tons of any addon. Changed up my perks as well and felt like an absolute power house...on Legion. Anyone else have a neat setup you'd recommend?…

A little thing that irks me
Why does Springtrap and Huntress have different ways to put away their power? If I want to put away a hatchet as the Huntress I have to press M1 but as Springtrap I just let go of the button. Shouldn't they be the same button? I like playing both killers but it is pretty frustrating that I have to remember a dumb detail…

Some things you hope never change
Despite the plethora of changes and direction the game has taken, what (even tiny things) are still here and would never like to see altered or removed? For me it would have to be the sweet perfect pitch DING with the gen aura everytime one pops. Its a trademark classic that practically defines the gameplay. Interested in…

Working with killer
when are the devs actually going to do something about this. I have honestly had a bad day as playing survivor and the last game just made never want to play. I play almost every day and now I think I am actually done. The last game was good until the killer just started to slug then allow other survivors to heal. They…

Hmm numbers aren't adding up
Twice now this has happened where a quest won't complete. 48 quests must be completed yet if you look 62/64 if we remove the reward quests...60 quests I'm missing one and it's been stuck at 47/48 fun fact...the quest system has bugged twice like this and as far as I know the archives...never did.

Gens getting done faster?
It seems that ever since this most recent patch gens just get done way faster than before. I'm not sure if it's because all the survivors spawn at one side of the map clustered together or what but it seems like if i chase a survivor for more than fifteen seconds three gens pop at once. Not sure what else to do as Killer…

Does BHVR have any news or plans to change some maps?
I genuinely want to know if there are any changes regarding this because there are maps in the game that are absurdly ridiculous. Haddonfield and Forgotten Ruins are perfect examples of terrible maps for survivors, while Badham Preschool and Disturbed Ward are for killers. I believe Nostromo is terrible for both sides and…

has the "survivors spawn together" feature already been retired?
nope, no offerings to change spawn locations. i have lethal persuer. survivors spawn on different maps, they are that far apart. i had a match yesterday on rpd where i spawned outside the main hall (by the exitgate) and 2 of them spawned in west wing, 2 in east wing. and the 2 in west wing were on different floors. and…

Can we please get new chase/menu music themes for original killers already?
It's literally been years. Why do Wraith, Plague and Huntress still miss menu/chase music after all these years? They even went though the trouble of making new menu themes for random SKINS, while whole (and very old) characters still don't have anything. I know this isn't a huge priority, but it's been years. Let the…

I think Rage Quiting is becoming a serious issue
I want to say this is from my prospective as a Killer Main so be warned on that I think the number of rage Quiting has became such a problem not only for Killers getting inaccurate results and this can lead survivors without teammates and just flat out ruining the game for other people. I understand the game has some…

So what's next for Springtrap?
Definitely one of my favorite killers so far, and the skins are 10/10, but after having 4 add-ons adjusted and no other changes so far, what exactly is next? He recieved no update in the mid-chapter and after how Ghoul was handled, we knew it was going to take awhile before he received any sort of update. If I had to…

Please Expedite Shared Inventories
Thank you for considering this. It's been highly requested ever since its introduction in DbD mobile. For years many players have ignored new releases because of being faced with a choice of faster progression (aka stacked offerings, consumables, etc.) or a shiny blank slate character. Please, this is personally my most…

Vic Viper Charm for PS5

Do survivors and killers get rewarded by the entity after matches lore wise?
Are bloodpoints(the reward for us players) just for gameplay, or is there a lore reason too for them? Like does the entity just gives like 40k liters of blood to a survivor after a match lol?

I made an automatic hook tracker for killers. Is it allowed under the EULA?
Disclaimer: Posting it here because I'm not sure where to post it otherwise. Let me know if I should change the sub-forum. Hello! I recently made an app to help DBD killers track the hook stages and possible DS timers. It works by visually monitoring survivors' statuses on the screen and then displaying them as an overlay.…

Would You Use a 'Perk Loadout Randomizer' Button in Public Matches?
Just a fun idea I had — what if there was an optional button in the loadout screen that gave you a fully randomized perk set before a public match? Could be a fun way to break out of meta tunnel vision and encourage more creative gameplay. Maybe even have it as part of a “Daily Challenge” system for bonus Bloodpoints.…

Cake vs Zombies
