Question regarding the use of maps as items
Hello, I've been wondering: when I create a beam of light it reveals the aura of generators to me and my team. But does it also reveal pallets, injured survivors, totems or the killer depending on the add ons, or is it only me who sees it and my team only sees the gens? Thank you, have a wonderful day!

BHVR should make the anniversary offerings shareable between killer and survivors and not lock them
Hi Bhvr, what would you think about changing the anniversary offerings to shareable between characters? For example, if you have 100 anniversary offerings on Onryo but you want to play Doctor or a specific survivor, that it's just available on there. Right now, you're forced to play Onryo if you want to use the 100…

Zombies behavior...
Hey, guys. Something strange just happened. I was playing against a Nemesis, and I (and a David) were the last ones alive, and I hid in a locker, in the corner of Thompson House. A zombie came out of nowhere, like, 30s later, and stood right in front of my locker, completely frozen, giving away my position. Here's the…

What do y'all do when you're playing as killer and it's an obvious troll/bully/pick me squad?
Personally one of my favorites is not attacking to tick them off and just bust pallets and constantly sabatoge gens. But sometimes they are aggressively in your face flashlighting to the point I had to shake them off and go hide out in a corner because they wouldn't leave ME alone. Like. I WANTED a fair match bro. But…

Does reporting do anything?
Genuine question. I've been playing DBD for 7 years now and I've reported dozens- if not hundreds- of punishable negative behavior through the in-game system and even a few directly to the enforcement team. I received confirmation on action taken no more than 3 times over the years and after my most recent trial, I need to…

Is my ghostface rework decent?
So i am a small time streamer who plays quite a bit of ghost face in the past, but inr3cent times ghostie has fallen way down the ranks being the 3rd worst killer in the game currently. And for a few months now ive cooked up this little rework here that i felt was pretty decent on him, it makes him get the ability to…

I thought Community Outfits Were Free Only?
The reason for the question is because I seen Singularity community outfit being sold for real money. Unless I’m out of the loop. Which I’m probably am cause I don’t keep up with Dead By Daylight much anymore. But anyway yeah it just confuses me. Cause I thought they weren’t allow to sell Community outfits?

Killers not moving
Hello, I’m playing dbd in Japan and in most of the games, killers don’t move.. it’s really annoying. Does it happen to you too or it is only in the Asian server?

Does Self-Preservation perk work properly?
Hey, I've been having multiple matches in the past few days, where I picked up Self-Preservation because I noticed its neat rework with the elusive status effect that claims to.. - Hide auras - Hide scratch marks - Hide grunts of pain (I use Iron Will anyway) - Hide pools of blood. .. And yet, the killers acted as if…

I feel like I do better against Blight and Nurse than I do Wesker. What am I doing wrong?
Wesker gets a lot of love for being balanced. I'm not here to argue community consensus. I've read tips here and there, and trust me, there's no shortage of Weskers to practise against (I swear he's like every second game.) But for some reason, I've a skill issue with him. I bait the vault and he stops just short of it and…

Bug or Intentional - Dredge White Silhouette Visible at any Range
I played some private test matches with a friend, and we noticed something odd with Dredge. Normally during nightfall the killer gets a white silhouette just outside the edge of visibility; everything beyond is darkness. However, when the Dredge enters and leaves a locker, either by teleportation or standing next to one,…

i want my skin back
I wanted to ask the few Singularity players if their skin with the TV head was also removed, because it was my favorite skin for him and now it's just gone. I'd like to have it back, but I wanted to ask the community first if the skin is gone for you too.

User Version MisMatch
I play Dead By Daylight on Switch ( I know, how filthy ) and I was trying to play with one of my mates that is on Playstation 4 and it kept giving us User Version MisMatch which was when I realized that he is on 9.5.1 yet I am not, I tried my best to do everything to update it but it wouldn't work, it won't let me; is this…

dbd stats page not accurate?
Hey, so played 2 games this morning as a killer, both matches ended with 4k. When i checked stats later when they updated - they show that i played 2 games, BUT 1st game shows that 1 escaped (which is not true) and 2nd game shows 2 escaped (not true).. so i wonder how accurate those stats are. Anyone else noticed something…

Why do my names for preset keep disappearing?
One of the sillier things I like to do is name my presents funny cute names like "entity's golden boy" for Trapper or even simple things like RE4 for Ada and Leon. But recently the names keep getting erased? I don't know if it's a big or a thing for the blood moon event (but they're gone in that AND the normal mode too)…

Has killer matchmaking gotten easier since 2024?
I've been playing since 2019. I stopped playing in late 2024. I used to have to pick all the broken A and S tier killers back then to beat the survivors, but I still had an 85% kill rate back then according to the stat tracker. I returned to DBD a few months ago and the survivors now just aren't on the same caliber and are…

Will Ash Williams ever get in-match voicelines?
Out of all survivors in the game, Ash is the most deserving to have trial voice lines because if you watched the Evil Dead franchise, you’d know he’s an ultimate talkative troller. Does BHVR have unused voice lines that can be implemented for in match or would Bruce Campbell have to come back in the recording booth to do…

What is the average chase time?
It may vary depending on the map or RNG, but how long does a chase need to last for an average survivor to be considered decent for the team? Recently I've been trying to compare my longest chase times with some of my weaker chases from a while ago, because I want to improve and be more helpful since I tend to be hard on…

Why do people leave in lobby with a Kwon Tae-young?
Kinda a dumb question and very anecdotal, but the last two days playing with my duo or solo, every lobby always has a couple leavers before we get into the game whenever I join in with a Kwon. Is there some kinda bug with him, or do people not like him? I don’t know the reception around him because he’s so new. Is he like…

Are map specific generator related achievements glitched for anyone else?
In the past few days I've done the requirements for at least 8 'repair the generator in room X on map Y and escape' and no achievements are unlocking for any of them. I just survived Toba Landing for a THIRD time after repairing the generator on the base. I know it's the right gen, on the 3rd floor of the base, I'm on the…

Is this a bug, or connection issue? (Steam/Controller player)
I was playing killer, I downed someone. After I picked them up I was no longer able to move using my controller. The survivor wiggled off. I could use KBM but not my controller. HOWEVER I never got any notification of any kind that my controller disconnected, not even a light flicker on the controller itself. Normally, if…

Autistic Anxiety + Killer Anxiety = Panic Attack

Is there a way to check your Report Ticket #?
I reported a player for using VPN to Lag-Switch survivors. Submitted video and photo evidence of me using the in-game report, and the type of non-sense that was going on as well as what's needed to show that it's an actual lag-switcher and not just some foreign player in the wrong lobby. I got an "update to ticket"…

Temporary ban for Communication Abuse on Switch, but there is no chat?

How to fix controller not working if plugged in while the game is launched?
I plugged in my controller during the match load screen and now I can't get it to work I have to let all the survivors do the gens and search around or take a DC penalty which will then creep up if I accidentally disconnect for any reason. Speaking of DC penalty, I seriously think they need to reduce the time down to like…

Lara Croft badge
Hi !! I recently saw that there are some Lara Croft badges and charms that are not available in quests or in the store, and as a big fan of Lara, I would love to have them!

Hello i came across an dbd player who brought the perks plot twist , un-breakable, flip flop and, power struggle. From the beginning of the match they used plot twist over and over again but never fully healing themself. They were waiting at pallets not letting anyone pick up (if you did they would plot twist again) I…

DbD XP gain, game time seems off?
So I have a timer of 600 seconds so if games went to fast and if it's already gone I finish ASAP or if it's not full duration I stay longer. The thing is, even though game lasts more than 600 seconds I often get something around ~520 xp + some change from emblems. I start it once I get control over character and then I try…

Flashbang and Flashlight save timings - anyone has a good video on that?
Been playing for a long time, but that is easily the thing I do least. Blinding with a flashlight takes 1 second. Time between clicking the flashbang and the explosion is 2 second. Animation of picking up is 3 seconds (let's assume no ######### perks in play). Counting after seeing survivor "spin" or dropping it when survivor…

Does anyone else get disconnected from the servers when you have an ethernet cable connected?
I've been lately having to uninstall dbd and redownload it. Basically the match would be going on if I play survivor or killer and then I would notice when I hit a survivor or try to interact or anything, nothing registers. I've tried to look up what it could be but it's saying its a me problem BUT I play other games and i…
