About the future tomes and older killers
This most recent dev update about the midchapter patch is all fine with me, I appreciate the meta shakeup and different perks all that, but when it comes to the lore or the tomes for the future, they said that the new tomes are gonna feature the newest killer from now and older characters are gonna just be relegated to…

Dwight has been longer on the Entity's Realm than Vittorio
So, in the newest tome, Betrayal, they go through Vittorio's journey as he travels across realms until eventually he reaches the entity for the first time when he is assumed to go through a hatch that leads to a trial. The thing is, when he's inside the trial he finds Dwight on a hook, meaning Dwight had to have been on…
Possible connection between the Artist & the Observer
So I’ve noticed something... when you go to the tower on the Eyrie of Crows map (the one Artist resides), the interior is all library shelfs & old antiques surrounding a giant bird’s nest. Well, guess who else happened to have a tower filled with a similar-looking library before they disappeared... the Observer! Is it…
How does the Entity handle Survivors and Killers? How does it keep them trapped and motivates them?
The Entity, in many ways, is obviously really mysterious to us. We just know that it's some Folklorish God or something and that it traps Innocent Victims and Broken People or Psychopaths, in it's realm so that both sides play a game of Hide & Seek. If someone dies, outside of it's realm or inside, there are also no…
Is Skull Merchant is delusional?
Lore makes more sense this way. Had a psychotic break became fixated on the mangas. Created a whole persona for herself. Talented in technology but not actually rich, explains all the duct tape on her stuff.

What happened to The Observer?
So right around the time the Dredge stole Maurice, the Observer disappeared as well. Do we know what happened to him? And why? Will he be back like Maurice or.... Does anyone know where we can find out more about him? 🤔
Cool small detail
Killers who don’t really want to kill survivors have white eyes. I believe this could be the entity making them see the survivors as someone they hate (azarov for wraith, spirit dad for spirit, etc) Ex. Wraith, spirit, hillbilly, deathslinger, maybe blight?, artist (There is no mention of her eyes being taken out in…
Does the golden toolbox on Haddonfield and Ormond really exist?
I've been searching for the golden toolbox on Haddonfield and Ormond for a long time now and I still can't find it. I'm starting to be a little unsure if those 2 realms have toolboxes. I'm not asking for the direct and exact location of these toolboxes; I just want to know if they are present on those 2 realms, or if I've…
Twins lore theory. (Victor is a not the og victor?)
Chatting about twins in the dbd discord and someone brought up a great but sad point. The victor in-game isnt actually original victor, he's an entity creation made to feel like victor for charlotte and cox her into service. That would explain more why she is the main "killer" and he is the "power" I would love to hear…
Can you guys help me with a bug?
Hi! I'm a Nintendo Swicht player, and for some reason, the survival's tutorial is bugged. Whenever I get to the part when you fall into the trap and you're supposed te get out of it, it doesn't and the killer bugs and when he gets me the camera gets frozen and the other survivor throws the pallet, she scapes, but I can't…
Did Talbot invent the "Dredge Equation"?
I was finally finishing up and listening to all of The Human Quotient, and one part really stuck out to me as interesting. In Memory 1726, Talbot is thinking about the value of a human life, and starts scribbling a bunch of stuff about "Fold Energy". And the Otto/Dredge cult was literally called The Fold. Some of these…
Headcanons that were debunked by lore, but you still find interesting anyways
I was wondering if anyone else out there had headcanons or theories about certain Dead by Daylight characters that turned out to be incorrect by updated lore. I started playing Dead by Daylight when there were only three killers - the Trapper, the Hillbilly, and the Wraith. Just looking at the Wraith back then, I…
Tricksters inspiration
I was looking at conspiracy theory stuff late at night as usual and came across rap.mp3 and saw some similarities with tricksters lore, is trickster somewhat inspired by the rap.mp3 conspiracy?
Strongest killer by lore
Hey, first post so why not. I am generally curious who would be the strongest killer in the game based on lore itself. I think pyramid head.
Link between dredge and the doctor?
I've noticed that both Dredge's and Doctor's lore mention a doctor otto stamper. And I'm wondering if it's the same person? Especially since Doctor killed him in his lore because that would mean it occured after dr stamper created the dredge. Which seems odd to me. Or perhaps these killers are from parallel worlds with…
Which Killer is the most evil (original killers)
Which killer in your opinion is the most evil In my opinion it's the doctor
We know that Bubba skins and wears his victims, does he have a preference on which survivors to skin
and which ones to discard, i can see him not being much interested in someone like Ace but someone like Ash, he'll definitely skin and wear, Heroic-face
Buenas Noches :D... Además. De mi, le ha fallado a alguien ''the end game''? No aparece las grietas.
The Dredge Nightfall has a barely known fact
I only noticed this a few days ago, but has anyone noticed that the last 30 secs of nightfall is more intense? During the rest of nightfall, the background noises are just some children-like cries, but the last 30 secs of nightfall has yelling and screaming and more crying. I think this is representing the few minutes…
More Lore into the Main Killers and Survivors
So, doesn't it feel like that both Killers and Survivors have really short lore stories? After completing the requirements, all we get are short lore stories and only one cutscene for each of them. Shouldn't we have more lore to keep the characters more interesting?
Something I just noticed (new Feng skin)
So, Feng’s new skin is supposed to be a cosplay right? Doesn’t that confirm that she knew what RE was before she was taken? Does she go “HOLY CRAP ITS THE NEMESIS FROM RESIDENT EVIL 3” internally each time she faces a Nemesis?
Family Library Steam
I had DLC from my brother through steam family access . The brother removed access and the characters disappeared. If I buy these characters myself, will they come back with past progress or will I have to pump them again?
Voice Lines for any of the license survivors
Since, as of right now, Ash and the RE survivors are the only survivors with voice lines. I’m wondering what voice lines ideas do you have for the other license survivors.
пропадет ли у меня престиж или скины
у меня Dead by Daylight был с раздачей и я ее купил у меня сохранится прогресс(престижи , скины куплены за клетки и золотые клетки )
Entity and licensed characters
Isnt this odd, that Entity was able to gather to its realm a litteral deamon "cenobite"? Force a killing machine "Nemesis" do its orders? Temper power of a Nightmare etc. And despite of lot of theories of what or who entity is, i think that licensed killers in dbd are NOT characters from their movies/games. They are just a…
sadako knows us the players we can see her
thats why at the main menu she comes right up too our screens hopefully shes not trying to get through them
Are licensed characters canon?
Really thinking about it, licensed characters don't make much sense in some cases despite having in-game backstories. Here are some examples: Leon, Jill, Chris and Claire are all still alive in the Resident Evil universe, so how exactly are they in DBD? Bill was killed by zombies, so how could he have been taken if he were…
so vittorio is our first pre-modern survivor?
vittorio was born in the late 1300's, making him one of the oldest characters in the game and the first pre-modern survivor. thought this was never gonna happen lol
The ENTIRETY of Colorado (little Deathslinger Lore ramble)
I need to vent a little bit: Since Deathslinger's release there's been a bit with his lore that just drives me up the wall: From Zarina's lore we learn Hellshire's in Nebraska, while we can conclude from the look and some addons that Glenvale's in Arizona... Now, Caleb's lore ends with him and the remains of his posse…
Head Canon Blighted Pyramid Head
I couldn't find where it says Pyramid Head injected himself,so I'm guessing it's head canon.Which made me think this happened Read from bottom left to right Panel one: Blight looks over a fence Blight: There he is.He's always standing never tiring.Waiting.I don't what he is but,he isn't human Eldritch? Divine perhaps?It…
Is bill still infected with the green flu virus?
or does the entity have the ability to nullify it
Which license survivor do you think suffered the most?
It’s not surprising that the license survivors have been through horrors that no ordinary person should have to go through. But who do you think suffered the most? Note: that if a license chapter has two survivors I’ll be including both survivors in the same poll option since they went through similar horrors.
a list of killers that have likely used cannabis at least once
the clown: directly stated to have used drugs in his lore the legion: pretty easy to infer the plague: marijuana was used in ancient mesopotamia for medicinal and religious purposes the blight: cannabis was used medicinally in victorian england i don't know why i'm posting this
Mikaela and Ghostface don't have tome cutscenes?
I saw when looking at the collection page that Mikaela and Ghostface does not have unlockable cutscenes. I also looked in the game's folder where the video files are stored and they weren't there either. I really hope this is just some mistake and they forgot to add them so it will be fixed. I was looking forward to the…
How old is Vittorio
So he was in 1343 since I'm guessing you stop aging in the Entity's realm when he was taken how old was he because overall if he was taking the exact day he was born he would be and we stick with it being 2022 or something he would be possibly 679 years old but how old was he when he was taken.
I’ve noticed something about Vittorio’s lore.
I apologize to anyone reading this in case this turns into long rambling, but bear with me. Halfway through Vittorio’s backstory, I’ve noticed this little tidbit about the death of his uncle Renzo. Here’s the quote... - “As they exited the vault, Renzo stepped on a black serpent. The serpent sank its fangs into Renzo’s leg…
The Knight & his pack interacting with the other killers.
What do y’all think how the other killers would react to meeting the Knight and his guards. Personally, I think Oni and Knight would see themselves as worthy opponents, since they’re both warriors. Though I think they’re going to hate the Legion....
How old IS Deathslinger?
I'm just really curious. We know when the entity took him (1881, going by mathematics* ) but how old was he? We know he was born in what's now South Dakota so we can assume he can't be born before 1818 (acquisition of southernmost part of Rupert's Land). We can assume that his parents came to america, not his grandparents,…
Original Wraith lore
I dont know if this topic was rised here or there, but Wraith origin lore seems a bit off, unfitting... How this swamp looking monster, with magical sigils can originate from junkyard? For me, it looks like Wraith lore was replaced with some quickly done story... for whatever reason... to be honest... Hag lore fits Wraith…
What are Wesker’s thoughts on all the killers?
I wonder on how Wesker feel about of all the killers. I can imagine him being intrigued by the more anomalous killers such as sadako, pinhead, dredge, and pyramid head etc. But I feel like he wouldn’t care that much about the more human killers such as leatherface, ghostface, legion, trickster, and Amanda (though maybe her…
What Plague say in the loby?
what would be the translation of the plague lines?
Stupid headcannon for the knight and the oni
I just feel like they'd be bros. Both have a similar attitude and would respect each other's strength. Either that or try to defeat each other. Just find it funny to imagine them as friendly rivals.
