What is the best Huntress perk?
Unfair or legit ?
Should Chucky get nerfed?
Please explain your reasoning below.
Which of these off the wall/niche licenses would you want to see?
What is the best Doctor perk?
Let's reverse this 2v8 Question - What types of Killers DON'T you think would work in 2v8?
Just curious. I did not include Killers with simple mechanics or who primarily M1, as they would be very easy to implement. It's obvious not every Killer is going to play very well in 2v8 without changes. If it turns out this is the case, what type of Killer do you think will most likely not be implemented or if…
What is the best Hag perk?
What would you consider a "Win" when doing a winstreak?
Currently doing a winstreak on Myers and i'm at 39, but after my previous match a survivor had to school me on what a winstreak properly is, but i disagreed with him. Essentially i consider a win for a winstreak to be 3k + 1 escape or 4k The survivor in question said to me it doesn't count as a win because he was the sole…
Should BHVR bring back the AOT (Attack on Titan) collaboration back?
I had taken a long hiatus from DBD and was unable to purchase any of the aot outfits. I’ve seen many comments on videos as well as spoken between some that they wish it’d come back so they could purchase the skins.
What is the Best Trapper Perk?
Are map offerings healthy for the game?
Recently there has been a massive uptick in map offerings brought by survivors which I have noticed while playing killer and solo queue survival and they are commonly accompanied by strong items such as toolboxes and syringes. So many people seem to be fed up with how easy map offering are to abuse to the point that I’ve…
BRING BACK 2v8 MODE PERMANENTLY
I want the 2v8 mode to be permanent, i had so much fun playing the killer with my gf, i just love this mode so petition to make it permanent pls 🤝 maybe in the future we can include the other killers with rework and keeping it balanced..
how do you perceive this game?
By "competitive" i don't mean "e-sports/cybersport-like", just "serious, trying to win most of my matches" By "casual" - it's self explanatory
Do you prefer badges and banners over charms?
So it seems BHVR is making less and less charms in favour of badges and banners. The recent rift only had 12 charms. Compare that to a year ago Tome 17 had 31 charms. The community cosmetic contest this year also replaced the charms category with badges and banners. Are people happy about this? Sad? Indifferent? Which do…
Should the hook mechanic be reworked?
2024. Lots of things has changed over the years. What y'all think?
Chucky vs Victor 1v1
Who wins
Who is the stronger killer?
Both of these killers are usually contested for the spot of 3rd best, but who do you think is?
Survivor Only Question
When you queue up, which do you normally play.
What is the best Michael perk?
What is the best Nurse perk?
Should Rainbow Maps and Skeleton Keys be present in the bloodweb, compared to other Ultra Rares?
I don't know if you know about this, but currently, Rainbow Maps, and Skeleton keys, compared to Syringes, Brand New Parts, Odd Bulb and Gel Dressing, are much much harder to find. This across bloodweb, from level 1 to 50. This, indirectly, contributes to Medkits, Syringes, and Toolboxes being used much more, because the…
What is the best Wraith perk?
What is the best Hillbilly perk?
Which year of DBD was the best?
I started in 2023, so I don't get much of a say, but what do you think?
was the new customization ui and upgrade or a downgrade
What are your thoughts on tunneling?
Would you prefer short, explosive 5 minute games or a more back and forth rally over 15 minutes?
Basically, the title. Do you think you would enjoy a much faster paced but more explosive kind of game balance where matches are much shorter or would you prefer a longer more drawn-out match where there is a somewhat even back and forth rally between killer and survivors?
Who would win? Every Killer & Survivor (Pre realm) Or The Entity?
Should the Light burn mechanic return?
This is just my opinion, but I feel like the game felt more unique when flashlights were given the ability to burn Killers out of their power, or disable their power temporarily, such as: Nurse, Wraith, Hag and Artist. But ever since they removed the mechanic, the game hasn't felt the same anymore. Especially when you're…
Should the game add a street fighter chapter
Since there are capcom characters in the game, I thought maybe there should be a street fighter chapter. Killer being Vega and the new survivors added being Ryu, Ken, Chun Li and Guile
Which of these video game characters would you be interested in playing as?
Half of these contain horror / horror adjacent games (0.5 if you count Zombies Mode), the other half, basically regular games that could sell in terms of popularity. Dbd x Metal Gear Solid - Solid Snake Look at him in all his glory... Short and Sweet, to the point; Solid Snake, with a legendary skin that turns him into…
Do you thi kinship and reassurance activation range be increased to the same range as Ani facecamp ?
What would be your 2v8 Duo?
Say if the first 2v8 was a success and we got more killers. If you don't relate with most of these options, you are free to write your own.
Should DBD take away the ability for other players to see your prestige level?
If we got A stranger things pt 2 chapter who would you want to be the survivor
if we ever got a pt 2 for stranger things there are many many survivors they could pick from these are the most possible 4 for the role (every one else is too young or not that big of a character) and I found images of their possible outfits Jim Hopper Joyce Byers Robin Buckley Eddie Munson
Which killer would be scariest to deal with IRL? PT 1
Planning to do a little tournament to see which killer people would find scariest? If you want an example of what the situation would be like, there is an lore entry in tome 6 where a bunch of people visit crotus prenn asylum and they run into the oni. But they're not in a trial, and so oni just cuts them down extremely…
Which killer has the highest chance of beating The Entity?
Although most likely all of them would fail, which of these killers do you think has the highest chance of beating The Entity? In this example, all killers are completely unrestrained and at their maximum potential.
Remove huntress from 2v8
Personally think the huntress is a melt on the 2v8. Every game see is picked as the killer as the hatchets are a bit Overpowered especially as the maps are so open.
What Game Mode / Modifier do you think might (or should) come next?
Today is the last day to play 2v8 Mode. So far, we've had 4 modes. Lights Out, My Little Oni, Chaos Shuffle, and 2v8, with 2v8 and Chaos Shuffle are the most successful out of the 4. Here are the other modes Bhvr has planned for Dbd. (Cross out "2v8", "Giants", and "Luck of The Draw.") So far, the remaining modes /…
Team 1vs4 or 2vs8 ?
Which team are you ?
who is excited for five nights coming to dbd
just wanna know who all is excited for fnaf actually coming
Who do you like more as a teammate?
From my experience, it goes like this: Trapper: Great players Wraith: Most useful players Hillbilly: Coolest players Nurse: Generally don't play her very well but have a lot of game sense Huntress: 0 IQ players
When a bully squad leaves a 3 gen (3 closest gens to defend) is okay to troll them?
Context: Normally I'm a survivor main, I decided to try killer today and first thing came up against a bully squad with flashlights and head-on and all that crap. I would never intentionally ruin someone else's experience but they started tea baggin and openly mocking so when they were dumb enough to leave the 3 gen, I…
Which do you enjoy more? 1v4 or 2v8?
I'm curious what game mode people prefer now that the game mode we've been asking for for years is finally out.
Art the Clown as a Killer?
Art the clown from the movie Terrifier.
Who do you think will be the March Killer later in 2025?
How do YOU precieve moris?
To shade some light on why mori offerings should (or should'nt) be changed to BP offerings, im doing this poll. Its for me to see if really that many people feel "offended" by moris or not. And also for the devs. To circumvent hefty debates i make the Poll anonymous, its only about the numbers.
Biennial rift Premium Track by community artists
Just an idea to bring the community closer together. We got such amazing concepts shared here in the forum and now that we get to vote on the winning creations for the Cosmetic Contest, this would ensure not only popular characters get the skins. WDYT?
Should they add the killer “Judge Holden”
what would be his weapon tho?
Who do you think the Castlevania survivor will be?
The PTB for Castlevania will arrive in just 3 days, so we might as well speculate which protagonist will be the Survivor representing this chapter. Here are five possibilities. Alucard Simon Belmont Richter Belmont Trevor Belmont Hector
