Which bits and pieces of The Deathslinger's designs are his main-timeline bits?
Now, it's clear that the outfits for no killer all stem from the same timeline. But especially with Caleb I wonder how much of the stuff in the outfit's lore and design happened to his main-verse self. What do we have consistently? His leg is injured in ALL outfits (there's also two bulletholes on his upper leg in the…

There is only hooks?
Why hooks? Are they really necesary? or lorewise there is more than just hooks? As we see, Pyramid Head use something else that hooks, he use cages, so that make me think that killers can put survivors on anything else For example, the Pig could use a chair trap, Freddy could use a bed or some demonic thing, Demogorgon,…

Is The Entity a female?
I've heard slight rumors that The Entity is a female. Is there clues/easter eggs that prove this? Was this declared fact by the Devs? Is this true?

New Lore Additions #IntoTheFog
Hey there! I make a deep lore series on YouTube, and I would like to get you guys’ feedback on my writing. I write the scripts for each episode, and I feel like you guys would be super excited to read what I have written. If anyone is interested let me know! Here is my "Origin" script for my next episode on The Wraith:…

Benedict Baker is a killer now?
I mean, he doens't have any notes of Legion and the new killers, maybe he lost all hope and became one of the killers?

The Entity is toying with the Observer to make him an unwitting pawn
Now, first of all, we can hopefully agree the Observer is not a neutral narrator. He interprets the memories etc he finds through the lense of his own believes and understandings. And going through the observation so far (don't have them for Tome IV yet, obviously) I'm brought to believe that the Entity is not only fully…

So, Steve and Nancy.
Firstly their characters must not get along with anyone. Cause they’re talking about some mind flayer guy controlling all of this. When the others are pretty sure it’s the entity. I mean Feng is probably laughing to herself about how they think someone from D&D is the master of everything. And then we also have the Paradox…

Hillbilly's Name Revealed!
Since his conception, Hillbilly was told to us as being the unnamed son to Max and Evelyn Thompson. Well, fast forward to the recent reworked Hillbilly, and we look at the new Common add-on 'Dad's Boots'; the description reads: "A pair of trusty boots, pulled from the corpse of Max Thompson Sr." ... you only call someone…

Why are there no survivors from before the 1950s?
This came up in another thread, and I'd like to know if there is an official explanation for this.

Broken rewards
So, I tried to get 2 of challenges for Ace's lore(Go For Broke) and I didn't get both pages for it. If it matters, I completed the one that you have to burn or blind the killer and the one that you have to search 2 chests as Ace. And if this also matters, I did chest opening challenge first and did the second one with Meg.

PH and Myers
Thought it was interesting these killers call kill without a Mori, but why does the Entity allow this? Did these killers find a way to sever their connection to the Entity briefly to achieve this?

Somthing i find wired about zarinas lore
As a zarina main i really like her backstory, but one thing i noticed when she went to the hellshire prison into the deathslingers cell she found a mans body, this body is easily confermed to be henry bayshores body, but the body was just killed meaning that zarina was at the date of time that henry died, so what does this…

Assigning unassigned perks to survivors
There are a good few perks for survivors that aren't teachables from anyone specific, so I thought why not assign them to an existing survivor? the perks are Dark Sense, Déjà Vu, Hope, Kindred, Lightweight, No One Left Behind, Plunderer's Instinct, Premonition, Resilience, Slippery Meat, Small Game, Spine Chill, This Is…

Minor spoiler alert: unwilling killers?
So, here's my idea: not all the killers may really enjoy what they do. Let's think about, for instance, the wraith. He got insane after Discovering that he obliviously killed tens, maybe hundreds of people in the autohaven demolitions. Then he killed the one responsible and created a weapon out of his remains. The nurse…

So whatever happened to Benedict Baker and his quotes?
Seems like after the Clown, no killer have gotten a quote from Benedict Baker about his encounter with said killer. And I dunno, it was a very small but tremendously powerful bit of Lore as it told us a bit about the Entity's Realm and what the survivors see and experience. @not_Queen @Peanits Do you know the reason behind…

totally pointless rant about Legion
I'm posting this in the "Lore" thread because there's nothing gameplay-related in this post; it's just something I feel the need to vent about. I really REALLY don't like Legion, thematically. It is painfully obvious that Legion was just shoehorned into DbD when Deathgarden failed, to get a quick cheap killer out of…

Ghostface: Danny is technically an OC. Tome when?
The devs have stated in the past that they are not going to do Tomes for already established characters and want to focus on their own characters. However... The Ghostface that resides in-game is technically not licensed and is an original character that only utilizes the costume. Therefore, I think is completely…

The mummy DLC
Just (re)watch 1999 classic "The Mummy" on Netflix and thought how it will be a perfect idea for a DLC . We got everything, a scary killer, an hero explorer and a crazy pyramid map with lot of traps everything.. plus just imagine the mummy mori, eating survs souls like in the movie, or letting the scarabs do the job... 😈 I…

Moving away from explicit horror?
Dbd is a horror game and as such I think it makes sense for them to keep the horror title, to acquire licenses that also hold the horror title like Halloween or A Nightmare On Elm Street, or make their own original horror creations. But with the release of the Stranger Things chapter, I think this was the first instance of…

Is Carl the cashier related to Jeff?
Carl the cashier worked in a hardware store in the Ghostface reveal trailer, where he was killed. He was a portly, bearded man with a ponytail.

Is there another eldritch beast interfering with the trials besides the Entity?
A lot of the things that at first glance should be gameplay mechanics have their lore in-universe. Just not things like disconnects and hatches and their keys. maybe even moris. Is there another eldritch being meddling into the Entity's affairs that provides this? Is it in lack of a better word benevolent to the survivors?…

Preteen Survivors / Killers?
I know people might think kids in DBD might sound extreme, and it sort of is, but would it be such a bad idea to add preteens as killers and survivors. I was thinking around the ages of the kids from Stranger Things like in Season 3. I think in Season 3 they were around the ages of 13-15. So maybe licensed or original…

Adiris is not the real killer
She is simply a vessel for the real killer, the Plague. Adiris herself is not the killer, otherwise she would be titled 'the Priestess' or 'the Devotee'. Really, she doesn't even have a weapon, it's just a censer dangling by a chain. It's the Plague that she's host to that weakens and incapacitates the survivors to the…

Who is the man in the rift?
The rift or the archives. You know, the guy sitting in the chair. Just curious to see what the lore behind him is, I couldn't find anything on it.

Why is Adiris the Plague a Killer?
She never killed a single person according to her backstory, and only did what was best for her people. One could argue that she caused more happiness and joy than harm. The Entity has always chosen killers who have murdered before in the past, so why did it choose her? I know that she prayed to a god to answer her, but…

Wraith lore and design
Is it just me or the waith design does not seem very consistent with his lore? I mean, as far as we know he probably came from Africa, much of his appearance and his add ons reflect that, and don't get me wrong, I love his looks, but I always think of how much he seens odd for his realm and everything seems very random.…

What if every killer was once a survivor ?
Trapper hates hooks and has hook marks in his back. It got me thinking that what if every killer was once a strong survivor that eventually went crazy and was offered a release by The Entity ? They saw that killing was a way to educate survivors. Entity reminds me of Jigsaw and Trials reminds me of Jigsaw's Games. What if…

I think some Killers help some survivors escape at times because...
Perhaps they don't trust or agree with the entity and want to help the survivors. I mean they are essentially the ones who do all of the entities dirty work so it would make sense.

No one likes david
The devs described david as an ######### in a stream once so it makes me wonder what other survivors think of him his perks show he wants to help but maybe he just comes off as a little too aggressive. Do you guys have any head canons about this i like to think he wants to help but he comes of as aggressive making survivors…

Will we ever get to battle the entity.

The issue around how DbD's lore is told
This is a great video to explain the differences between how DbD's story is being told now and how it could have been told (i.e. before things like the archives and before Kate's introduction into the game etc.) DbD's story is falling into the Hard World building category, and not in a good way imo. I used to be interested…

A recent skin in the shop was released going by the names of Graff-Crafter. According to the picture that was released from the skin, she's from 2021 (presuming November 3rd but it may be March 11th). Does this mean Nea was taken from the future, or am I completely wrong?

The Nurse has PTSD or Schizophrenia? (Explain your opinion in detail please)

Survivor’s and Killer’s Time Period
