Community Match Data Is Raising Questions About DBD Matchmaking
Lately it feels like both sides of matchmaking in Dead by Daylight are being pushed toward “stat normalization” instead of genuinely balanced games. From the Killer side, I’m sitting around 375 played killer hours, and 115 survivor hours since the launch of stat tracking which gives me a relative ratio idea of my total…

Dealing with Oni after he gets power?
Hello! My DBD journey continues. I've gotten much better at survivor now, but it is still the side of the game I find considerably harder. In the last episode, I couldn't figure out how to handle Wesker. I can now handle Wesker. Character growth. Now, I'm stuck on Oni, however. I find the guy harder to deal with than Nurse…

Trickster tips
okay so I’m a ghoul main but I recently got bored since the games are shite and everyone gives up and nothing new has been added for the ghoul other than nerfs (thats a debate for another time) So I made the switch to Trickster mainly because the MINA skin is so cool (I have played Trickster pre “rework”) and he didn’t…

Has anyone heard of 2v8 getting a rework with how buggy it is this season?
Game force closing all the way to the PC main desktop, Lobby completely breaking when someone leaves a few seconds before the start of a match, leaving a 40+ min killer wait time (because it's not actually 29 mins), just to lose your entire spot in queue because the lobby is so broken you have to manually force close the…

Can Killers See Gen Traps?
Apart from seeing the animation of a survivor installing a wire tap or blast mine trap on a generator, are there other ways a killer knows if a gen has been trapped or not before kicking it?

Why can't killers swap characters in 2v8?
It just seems weird that Killers cannot swap their character at all, it's not MMR gaming, so it just seems like an unnecessary limit to impose on the free-for-all game mode.

To the Dead by Daylight community, I just want to share a respectful opinion,Dead by Daylight community, I want to speak respectfully about Michael Myers. Why did you remove Tombstone?

Continue not working
Is it something on my side or has anyone else had this happen? In 2v8, I hit continue after I have died but other survivors are still playing, and it kicks me from the game totally. It doesn't ask me to confirm or hit B (I am on Xbox), I just hit Y for continue amd then am in the Xbox home screen.

If not an abandon option for all gens popping how about increase the timer based in exit gates.
if you're not gonna add an abandon option for killers when the gens pop, why not make it so that when a survivor enters the exit gate, the timer increases each survivor in their, so if someone is stupid and sits in the exit gate while their friends save the timer increases, and the same for if they heal at the exit gate…

Has anyone at BHVR commented on the accuracy of NightLight stats?

In-game purchases pre-link
Context: I currently own and have been playing DBD on Epic Games since it was free in one of the weekly free game selections some time ago. I have made some in-game purchases since I've been playing it more frequently recently. However, games that I play on Epic Games seem to run really really poorly (an issue I've had…

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?

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.

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

dbd stats page not accurate?
Hey, so played 2 games this morning as a killer, both matches ended with 4k.

Anyone else noticed something…

Why do my names for preset keep disappearing?

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?

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?

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…
