New upcoming prestige rewards
Hello, I just saw the new PTB and I realized that some portraits for the new prestige rewards are not completely right. For example, the legion only has Frank as the reward instead of maybe the whole group as well as Aestri who has only her portrait but no Baemar even though they are the technically separate characters. My…

Are challenges from tomes autoselected and completed while you play?
I didn't play for a long time so there is a lot of tomes to do for me. Do I need to select an active challenge after each game like we used to have to do or do they tick when completed automatically like the things from main menu quests? Bonus question: Do any of the tome challenges actually award iri shards?

Hi, how can I change my forum username? I see in the past people said to DM a mod, but all of the profiles I could find were old mods that are no longer active. If I go to Edit Profile and try to change my username it won't let me click on the box.

What exactly is a “slug build”?
I was playing Clown for a challenge and, because of a noticeable skill gap in the match, I ended up slugging just to secure at least one kill. After the match, a survivor told me that if I was going to slug, I should at least be running a “slug build.” The thing is, I looked through the perks and couldn’t really find…

Error 8026, any solutions?
I've been playing on both PC (Linux) and my PS5 for a few months now, but today I have gotten an error code of 8026 on both and from what brief research I've done there doesn't seem to be a solution for it. I am on a wireless connection, both systems and their copies of the game are fully updated, I've tried rebooting…

About Mangled effect (ver. 9.4.x)
When I played "1 vs 4" trial I mend my deep wound and saw that progress line has red color and negative ">>" indicator. According to "6.5.2 | Bugfix Patch" the Mangled effect no longer applies to the Mend, Snap Out of It, and Recover interactions. Is it no longer relevant? Screenshot from the game is attached below.

Dear BHVR, Can we PLEASE have more Killer AABPs?
AABP stands for Active Ability Button Perk, meaning you have a Perk on your Survivor that requires you to press a button on your keyboard/controller for the Perk to activate. So far, Rebecca, Vee, Vittorio, Aestri,, Taurie, Sable, Mikaela, Renato, Jonah, Adam, Jill and a few others ALL have AABPs, but they're all…

Does the "Be Not Afraid" Chapter have a release date yet?
I call it that because it doesn't have an official name yet, AND its the "biblically accurate angel" Killer that we're getting, the one with the holy laser that the test footage showed off.

How to fix input delay issues
On PC / Steam. Since the Krasue update my game has been having one issue after another, but the biggest one of them all is that now all of a sudden I have input delay while playing the game.

2v8 Reveal the killer quest
Does anyone understand how this quest works? It seems random to me. I've played a few matches and will get a second added to the quest here and there at random times even though I'm revealing the killer a lot longer than the time awarded to me. I know it's only 15 seconds and will eventually complete it I just don't…

Does anyone else have lag issue on PS?
I had ping today fluctuating upwards of 400 to 1000. The game was borderline unplayable. This was my first time back on my PS in about a week. For that week, I was on my Steamdeck and had zero issues. Both are wireless. I've also tried playing on ethernet directly and it's the same issues, so its not an connectivity issue.…

Not exactly a Question But...
I am very surprised by how different this game can look between players! I was playing against a streamer and Decided to check out his Twitch (Cuz I like seeing from the perspective of Others) and I was shocked by how High the Gamma and Saturation was! It's kinda fascinating to see just how different this game we all play…

Is there a chance the Pig will get her own chase theme?
She's my all time favorite killer, and it makes me sad that she has the same theme as most older killers. Would DBD never update it since she's not a priority?

What do you think about the frequencies of new outfits for certain suvivors?
I know, after a certain amount, it detrimental to play a game for obtaining skins and outfits. But let's skip all this boring psychological stuff for now. I really like Taurie Cain. And even if she's a >relatively< new character, I feel bhvr had not done much for her aesthetics. Meanwhile, there are survivors that keeps…

DbD Makes Steam take more than 21gbs ram at a random time
Hey, I’m having a really weird issue and I’m wondering if anyone else has seen this. Sometimes when I play DBD (could be after 5 minutes or after 1–2 hours), the game crashes or I leave a match, and then Steam suddenly starts using like 21 GB of RAM or more. When that happens, Steam becomes super slow or freezes, other…

What should actually be considered "winning" in DBD?
For ME personally, earning a pip is a win. I don't always have to escape or get a 4k. But when you play well enough to earn pips, the game is pretty much saying you should be playing with/against higher ranked players. But that's just my take. I'd like to know what you guys think. There are a lot of players that take this…

Has BHVR made any comment on if they are going to update Rick Grimes' scream/pain sounds?
I was going to get Rick Grimes to prestige 100 because he's one of my favorite characters from any TV show/comic but I can't stand the actor they used for his screams. It sounds NOTHING like him. Has anyone heard any discussion on that in any of their dev talks or social media?

Kindred Base-kit?
I have been thinking about this for a while, Borrowed Time was able to become base-kit, why can't Kindred? It's a great information perk but I don't personally think it would be overpowered to have it implemented into the game as a basic mechanic. I was wondering if anyone has any arguments against it?

Bodyblocking and holding the game hostage - not so black and white?
The longer I think about it the more unsure I am about it, so maybe someone can quote a dev on the matter. What happened: Game where killer didn't play. We just did the gens and then went to escape and go for next. Or at least so we all thought, but in cases like this I always cleanse all 5 totems, because I did encounter…

Chaos Shuffle fixed?
I can't be the only one experiencing this, but every single game of Chaos shuffle I've played, the killer has a scream perk, hex perk, and and exposed perk. In some cases a blend, but all three affects are present. Not to mention that MMR is entirely off.
