Why do you use map offerings?
I am curious to see why most people pick map offerings. I personally use them for aesthetic reasons depending on the type of feeling I want for the next match. But I also know that many people choose map offerings for strategic reasons. Why do you use map offerings? Whatever your answer is, what is it about the…
Which Licensed LEGENDARY Killer for Previous Chapters would you like to see?
(name) - (movie/franchise) / (killer template) Jack Baker - Resident Evil 7: Biohazard / The Hillbilly. Yes, I got this image from Google. His weapon could either be the axe, the shovel or the modified paint roller. Karl Heisenberg - Resident Evil 8: Village / The Doctor I can only say this. METAL CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY. Mr.…
Which MAJOR Licensed Chapter/Paragraph that remains do you think ought to come next?
Candyman - First one is simple, The Candyman as Killer. Preferably to be voiced by Tony Todd. I can imagine Mirrors being his Teleporting power and Bees as a Ranged/Map-Manipulation Power. If they wanna have a Survivor to rival Candyman, it can Helen Lyle, don't think I know of any good locations for a map, though. I think…
Freddy - Dream Snare or Dream Pallet
Which one do you prefer? Personally, as Freddy is an M1 killer I like to end my chases as fast as possible. Dream pallets are great when survivors are injured and they make a last sec pallet use... except that is a dream pallet! Happy to hear pros and cons alike!
What Licensed LEGENDARY Survivors for previous chapters do you wish to see?
I've excluded A Nightmare On Elm Street from the list, because to me, making Nancy Thompson a Legendary Set for Quinten would make me feel sort of dirty. I also excluded the other 7 Left 4 Dead characters from this list, simply because 1. I don't know which one to pick, and 2. we got Bill for free, so they wouldn't really…
Rate how much you like playing against each killer as a survivor

The Missing Slot: Which Survivor from a past License did you wish to see come to DBD, that didn't?
These are our GOLDEN GIRLS!!! Nancy Thompson She's quite the dream boat... The reason we've got Reboot Freddy instead of the OG, is because the licensing is very rough. While Warner Bros. owns the international rights, the Wes Craven Estate only owns the US rights. Hopefully someday, somewhere along the line, BHVR will…
Next struggle to P100, who's next?
After what? Almost 2 years? I'm finally 5 levels away from P100 on my Nea. Deciding on whether or not to go for another P100 on Wesker, Myers, or Sheva. Halp please.
Do you think killers should get emotes/some way to see their skins mid-trial?
I think this would be a nice feature but I'm curious what you all think :)
What Licensed Cosmetics Bundle would you like to see? Little over HALF contains Anime...
Death Note - Simple enough; Jake as Light, Dwight as L, Feng as Misa, and The Wraith as Ryuk. Hellsing Ultimate - This one's a bit more advance. Kate as Seras Victoria, Yui as Integra Hellsing, Ace as Walter Dornez, David as Pip Vernedead, Felix as Luke Valentine, Renato as Jan Valentine, Feng Min (or Legion) as…

Are survivor screams when placed on the hook too loud compared to all other audio from the game?
I know that this falls under personal opinion, but I feel like the shrilling screams whenever a survivor gets hooked, regardless of gender, to be jarring and almost painful to hear. They seem to be much louder than the rest of the game and I have started to instinctively shift-tab for the Steam overlay whenever I hook…
If BHVR collabed with From Software, Which of the 5 Souls Game would you like to see come to Dbd?
I'm including all 5 Souls game made by From Software, including the classic 'Dark Souls' and the latest hit 'Elden Ring'. We have The Knight, what's stopping it? Demon Souls - The one that started it all. Dark Souls - Best known of any Souls game. The Classic. Bloodborne - Possibly the most favorited of any of the Souls…
What is more rare. Five litup pentimento, or facing the Twins?
Singularity drama
I’ve been playing singularity since he came out and my friend just got him a week ago, and we have really different play styles. I like to slug but only if someone nearby which I normally find with jolt, and he doesn’t slug but he’s recently started saying he’s better than me just because he doesn’t slug. I would love to…
Should DBD have separate "Casual" and "Ranked" queues?
Just wondering about people's opinion on this topic :) On one side I think it could help sorting people who are just looking to take it easy / goof off / farm in different queues from those looking for a good challenge, even if just a bit. But it's also true that in many games Casual can end up being the sweatiest and/or…
Would you like to see bloody prestige portraits return?
They were previously given out to players for any character who had reached P3 before the prestige overhaul. This was shortly after the 6th Year Anniversary, and since then more characters have been added with no way to obtain a red portrait, starting Project W. The fact that some of my characters (including some…
What is your opinion about the Trapper?
Please give your opinion.
What is your opinion about the Wraith?
Please give your opinion. Oh damn I write the thing wrong the second thing from top is "He needs minor buff."
BHVR patched a demo trick where you could tp with a surv. should this be reverted or not?
What new content would you like to see in the game?
So far, it has been announced that Mobile will be getting 2v8 and Prop Hunt, which may suck for those like me who've been asking for these things in the core game, especially the 2v8, but at the very least it could be a technically PTB for when it does, because if it turns out to be a success, there may be a chance for it…
An honest survey about the survival rate of players without a party
Poll on the topic: What is the survival rate in the game when you play solo (without a group) and run into the gate? Since the developers prefer to hide statistics for 5-7 years, ignoring requests from players, I will assume that the most accurate possible option is only possible through a poll on this forum. Please don’t…
Which do you prioritize? Playing to win or playing to have fun?
Play to win - whatever it takes to secure that escape / get that 3K or 4K. More likely to tunnel/genrush/use meta perks. Play to have fun - play the game for pure enjoyment regardless of the outcome of the match. More likely to meme/give hatch.
Whats the likely hood of the 1980s movie Pumkinhead coming to DBD
Stranger Things is BACK after TWO YEARS!!! Who do you wanna see join the "Fog-side Down" the most?
JIM HOPPER! JOYCE BYERS! EDDIE MUNSON! ROBIN BUCKLEY! MURRAY BAUMAN! ARGYLE! BILLY HARGROVE! VECNA!!!!!!!!!! JANE 'ELEVEN' HOPPER, GROWN UP!!!!!!!!! Or... OTHER!!!, meaning anyone else! Edit for Poll 10: Forgot to mention DMITRI ANTONOV as a potential candidate. My bad... There's also the pilot that loves smuggled peanut…
An offering to reveal the hatch's aura when the player is alone among the survivors.
A personal secret offering to reveal the aura of the hatch when the player is alone among the survivors.
The most fun Killer to play against: Grand Final
Who takes it all?
are indoor maps more killer or survivor sided
Which Blight is More Problematic?
Despite the rework to Skull Merchant, is she still able to three-gen?
a choice to make
What will u do when u are the last survivor and with another random guy being down but not on the hook and killer decided to patrol and camp him there when u are very near his terror radius
Secret personal offering that opens a random gate when the hatch is closed
I offer a secret personal offering that, when the hatch is closed, will open a random gate if the last player is the one who used this offering item
Poll: Suggestion for blocking hooks at the start of the game
An offering to block hooks at the start of the game that would prevent the use of hooks for some time and force survivors to be left on the ground.
What Survivor-Only Chapters/Paragraphs would you consider seeing in DBD?
THE WALKING DEAD Universe - Play as your favorite characters from the Show, or the Games, at least characters that mattered. You know the names; I can go on with how many there are. I had my ideas all over the place for a bit, but realistically, I'd imagine them doing Rick and Daryl, with either S7-S8 Negan, The Governor…
Would you like to add a non-human survivor?
I mean, less human-like in terms of structure , whether it fits the game or not It is not like the Demogorgon, which has a great resemblance to humans (it has a head - hands - legs - fingers -) and moves with only two legs. You can imagine what it would be like and it would be better to share it here
Should Dead Hard be Buffed?
Since STRANGER THINGS is back, who would you pick out of these few to be base Survivors?
Chief Hopper - Great Detective, Perfect Father Figure, The Mighty Mustache of Manly Men... For the best experience, call (555-555-5555-BEAST) to get some Jimmy-for-you-Hopper ACTION!!! (No Refunds) Robin Buckley - Best friend-zone and Co-Worker of Steve Harrington. Scoops Ahoy as Base Outfits, PLEASE. Joyce Byers - The…
After the Nerf before, are Med Kits and their add-ons balanced?
I've seen quite a lot of med kits lately. Do you consider med kits to be balanced and fair, or do you call them unfair despite the nerf some months ago?
Should Hillbilly's Old Insta-saw Add-ons Come Back but With Two Conditions?
Greetings everybody. I decided to make this poll because I'm trying to get more feedback on the forum post I posted a couple of days ago for some Hillbilly changes. If you haven't read it, it's right here: The Hillbilly: Changes to his Basekit and Add-ons — BHVR Recently, I've talked to various people about the idea of…
Wiggle bar
Wiggle bar is pointless i think it needs improvement , like its pointless to Wiggle....
Should DBD get a "DBD 2"?
What I'm talking about isn't a sequel in the proper sense but a rework of the base game. Kinda like a Overwatch 2 situation where DBD would be shut down and replaced with a (hopefully free) "DBD 2" where the graphics are updated, hitboxes are refined, bugs are ACTUALLY fixed, and systems like perk search, stats, random…
Likin' the Event?
What are your opinions on this "Haunted by Daylight" event after a week?
Would you prefer quality of matches or search speed now?
At the time when SBMM was introduced to us, I remember that matches were searched for a long time, but they were not the worst in quality. Then devs did some surveys to find a balance between the quality of matches and their search speed. Seems like most then chose speed. I think that today absolute majority of the…
Solo players, survey on the number of people escaping at the gate
How many players are saved by running through the gate in your matches when you play alone (without a group) as survivors? No matter what composition the rest of the players on the team play, I'm interested in the survivability scale when you play solo. I ask you to take an honest survey of players who play alone, I don’t…
Do you find the game to be unbalanced?
with all the recent changes over the last year, I find the game becoming very unbalanced. It leans more towards favouring killer mains and less on the side of survivors. I know it’s been said and said and said, but I’m curious how everyone feels about this last year and the most recent update.
Singularity EMP Question
You have the chance to alter the EMPs, which change would you make?
Should console players get Mouse & Keyboard support?
It can't be much of a technical hurdle since a small dev like DE has had MKB support for console players for years. If it weren't for crossplay, then MKB support would give an unfair advantage to players with additional hardware I suppose, but we have crossplay and players with controllers are already playing with and…
Is it worth informing the maniac about the ease of difficulty in the match?
When a survivor leaves a match, it clearly does not benefit the team of survivors. They don't fix it They don't treat it They often stand still Often they don't save And much more. Is it worth informing the maniac that the game has become much easier or is it worth hiding informing the maniac that the opposing player has…
