Hex plaything with other hex perks
Hex plaything spawns a hex totem for every survivor that you hook once. There are 5 totems on the map. 4 of them are for plaything (if nobody cleanses and they are up for a very long time). But what if we use devour and ruin or whatever 2 hexes perks except from plaything . Then all the totems will be captured before the…
Boons deplete OTR?

Serious Question - Is AFKing on gens or "playing very poorly" Bannable?
Hey There, I'm asking this question because I am very very tired of only playing against two or three killers. My last 50 or so games have mostly been "hug teching" blights and god nurses. I'm not sure what else to do to have some variety in the game other then just straight up throwing games. I play okay, by no means a…
Dead Hard Tome Challenge Rework?
So in Tome 2 part 1, there's a challenge called Dead Hardy where you need to avoid a basic attack using Dead Hard. In my last match, I took a hit and gained endurance. I performed a conspicuous action during it though. Could that have been the cause for not receiving a challenge completion? I don't know how the nerf…

Where can I report players?
I recently came across a hacker and I've been told that in order to have an efficient report, one should report them here on the forums as well as in game. I naturally reported them in game and I have the footage from that game for the forum report but can't find where I should submit it.
Onryo video tape for survivors
I am having a pot of questions damn . I should get a medal When you get a tape as a survivor the game shows you a TV in the map that you should out the tape in and when you do it your condemn thing gets regressed by 3 (which I think it's a lot . It should be 2) But what about if you out the tape on another tv? Will it…

Who Do I Talk To
So this is not a question about the game, its a question about the forums themselves. I want to talk to a mod concerning one of my posts, which I would prefer not to get into detail here. Who do I talk to and how can I get in contact with them?
Inconsistent shock therapy time
So basically some matches my shock therapy gives me plenty of time to chain shock survivors to stop them from dropping pallets or vaulting and I certainly never can do any of that when getting chain shocked by a doctor but I have about 30% of the time or so come up against whole teams that this is completely ineffective on…

"Dragon's Hit" Challenge question.
For the challenge, does the exposed have to be from The Dragon's Grip Perk? I remember awhile back for some challenges like this, it didn't have to, so I'm asking before I go full Stealth killer Exposed build.

Is 40,000 bloodpoints the cap?
Just played a game where one of the survivors got 45,000 bloodpoints. I snowballed quickly, two of the survivors gave up. The last one got hatch and the end screen shows 45,000. I thought bloodpoints were capped at 10,000 at each category. Can anyone explain this. I don't see how this person could have even gotten 10,000…

Hello everyone! I am fairly new to this game and I am enjoying it a lot!

Question about White Glyphs.
So my question is about the White Glyph survivor challenges. I understand that you have to take the glyph to the basement without rushing, falling, or being injured. But once you commune with the glyph in the basement, what do you do next with the glyph item? Is there anything to do with it because you still get the…

Simple What trusted means because I see it on different discussions
AOT crossover time limit?
Do the cross-over events like AoT one with the skins have a time period on them? Like if you don't by them in X amount of weeks they are gone from the store? Just started playing so it's my first crossover, I like some of the survivor skins but don't really play survivor so on the fence about buying them.

Can't Hear Sound of Narrator?
I'm playing on the Windows edition of DBD (Xbox Game Pass), and I can't hear any of the narrations for the tomes. Idk how to fix this, as I don't have this problem on the Steam version of DBD I've tried verifying and repairing, and even straight up uninstalling and redownloading the game, but it doesn't seem to work. I…
Cross Progression
Why can't I merge progress between my EGS account and Steam account?
Which DLC to buy?
New player here, I have just a few hours in the game. Already bought Silent Hill & Leatherface DLC. I'm playing both sides almost equally, but I think killer is a bit better in terms of fun (depends on killer tho). Want to buy some new DLCs and need an advice which one. I can buy at most 10-11 DLCs. DLCs most appealing to…

How do Tombstone Piece and Fragrant Tuft interact?
Doing a mori with the Tombstone Piece ends Tier 3's duration, but Fragrant Tuft Of Hair makes Tier 3 infinite. So which trumps which?

Hatch animation progress
With the new hatch does the progress when you open the hatch with a key gets reset if you get hit or unpress the button action?
Does Streetwise negate the Botany Knowledge med-kit inefficiency mechanic?
I have spent a fair amount of time making progress towards calculating how med-kits and their add-ons work to try and prevent ''med-kit gamers" as I call them from leaving DBD. It just occurred to me though that Botany only gives you a 20% healing efficiency penalty and Streetwise gives you a 25% efficiency bonus. Would…
Possible perk synergy?
Do smash hit and Overcome stack? If I stun a killer with a pallet, but still get hit, do I get Smash Hit on top of the injured speed boost? I know that sprint burst and adrenaline work this way, so I thought maybe I could maybe get a super boost if that happened but just figured I would ask. Thanks!

Hey guys I was a killer main I quit playing 7-8 months ago, as I just lost all care for it with last meta, the update has been out for a little bit and how is life for the killer? worth coming back or is it just same stuff different update?

AoT
Is there a way to always run as surviviors when pressing foward?
can you switch the run key for walking instead of running, so a survior always runs when pressing W, but holding down the sprint key makes you walk reversing it?
New 21:9 monitor - any problems to expect?
Hi - I am sorry - I am a noob - this said here comes my question / problem: I play DbD on a 27 monitor and would like to get me a 30 monitor 21:9. Please don´t laugh at me: will this effect my gameplay (display) in any way? Will there be black bars or will the resolution change so that I see it more streched sideways? Or…
Questions about buffed Deja Vu perk.
So the perk says "Reveals three generators at the start of the match and whenever you complete a gen. Any revealed gen is 5% faster". My question is about the faster progress. Does it only last while that gen is revealed? Does it stay the whole time I am on said gen? If I got on the gen while it was revealed and get off…
Do you get the bonus bloodpoints when playing with friends?
Played some games yesterday with one of my friends but neither of us got the bloodpoint bonus for survior.
Unlock teachables missed or I misunderstood?
Patch notes state this: This (as I understood) means: all perks that were unlocked (by shrine or lvl 40) will immediately shared with all characters on tier 1 (as if I made original character P1). There isn't any mention about shrine unlocking only or smth like that, it just says "unlocked Teachable Perks". And it says…
Overcharge
Despite using overcharge for months, I'm still not sure on if it effects multiple gens at the same time. By that I mean, if I kick Gen A, then Gen B, will Gen A still be effect by Overcharge?
Pinhead Chain Hunt and Puzzle Solving.
So I have a maybe silly question, and maybe I am just remembering wrong, since I haven't gone against him in a while but I thought if you were solving the box the chains would not continuously attack am I wrong? I just had a game against a pinhead, and I was trying to solve the box while the chain hunt was occurring, and…

New Prestiges
Hi, was it BHVRs intention to make the new prestiges lower for characters that were prestiged and then higher for ones that were not prestiged? Like if I had known that I would not have prestiged some of my characters at the last minute before the update. I guess me and hundreds of others just misunderstood that.
