Hook toggle option
It's possible the game could benefit from a toggle option that allows a survivor to be either unhookable or not by other survivors. I believe this would be a healthy feature that wouldn't affect high end competitive play but still not take away the initiative of the hooked player if they do not wish to be unhooked yet. A…

New feature
Ik all items have their uses but hear me out i only run fog and med, so of course I have a million other things I'll never use. My suggestion is simply a recycling system for unwanted items and/or add-ons for both killer and survivor 100% fair Thoughts?

An Content Creator Tournament
I dont know who to ask this so i Just send IT Here. Would it be possible to Host a big Content Creator Tournament with old and new Creator to make a Journey on an older Version of DBD because it would be interesting how newer Player Adept to it and personally i think it would be pretty funny

Charms
I think charms have great potential for a new element to the game. Currently they look cool; but what if they had minor abilities to enhance your killer or survivor depending on what you choose to run. What are some thoughts on what cool minor abilities could be added to the list?

New DBD event (THE TRUE BALANCE EXPERIMENT)
I think 2v8 has been a really cool way for the devs to actually try out a lot of experimental features. From base-kit unbreakable, to adjusting gen speed based on hooking progress, teleporting hooks etc. A lot of things that may have gotten massive backlash if had been directly pushed into the main game. What this…

More Nea skins
WE NEED MORE NEA SKINS IN THE BUNDLES. Like the ''from the rift bundle'' or the ''weekly developer choice bundle''. I havent seen one for Nea in forever!. Not to mention, she has heaps of cute outfits that could be brought back but my girl has been forgotten. sad face.

A Sincere Proposal for Fundamental Improvements on the 10th Anniversary of DBD
Hello, I am a brand designer and a passionate fan of your game. I am an all-rounder player who initially started as a Killer and now predominantly plays Survivor. In light of the monumental 10th anniversary, I earnestly propose some fundamental improvements to the game's chronic issues. The current situation of DBD is as…

How about a defining line at the end of the gate so you know when you are about to step out of the match.

Furry/fully non-human survivors.
I know a lot of people will hate on the idea but having survivors that aren’t even human would be a breath of fresh air. It’s already proven that we can have anthropomorphic animal characters because of killer skins such as cat trickster, werewolf unknown, Krampus trapper and Oni’s bull/minotaur. Survivors could also have…

Invocation perk rework
I have two ideas: Instead of being broken and injured after performing the invocation different things should happen depending on how many perform the ritual. One person: Loose 2 health states. Two people: each person looses one health state. Three or four people: nothing is lost. This would keep a sense of risk as it is…

Skin Idea - The Lich (Pre-Lich)
Vecna deserves atleast one skin from the time when he was a human. The First already has that with Henry Creel, so Vecna should get one. plus BHVR already commented under a Reddit post asking about it.

Some notification sounds are way too loud and immersion-breaking, especially in 2v8
The notification sound from Scourge Hook: Jagged Compass is extremely loud. The explosion sounds from hook saves and failed skill checks are also pretty overwhelming. On a personal note, I feel like some of the sound choices could be more subtle and immersive overall. Right now, a lot of them feel more like harsh UI alerts…

Knight issues
Dear Dead By Daylight. I’m having a serious issue, not with gameplay, or technical issues but with a character from the game. Knight. Knight is a very poorly made character. Everyday I go on Dead By Daylight and expect fun and exciting gameplay, and usually it lives up to the expectations, but then there are the days where…

Feedback Regarding Game Stability and Mechanics
To the Dead by Daylight Development Team, As dedicated players with a deep investment in your game, my colleague and I are reaching out to share a comprehensive list of critical issues and strategic suggestions.

We need to be able to change killer after readying up.
Readying in a killer lobby and waiting to go to the next lobby. Why are we unable to change killer? Even after coming to the pre game lobby. We are unable to change killer. Before, we could change killer after readying up at any time. No problems. We need this back asap! This irretates me a lot tbh. Plus we could switch…

Rebalancing Hillbilly's Chainsaw
This has been a minor gripe I've had with this killer for a while: Every billy I've played against only uses the chainsaw and nothing but the chainsaw. What this results in is the match either being a loss because there really is no reason to heal against him when he can instadown you, or the billy player rage quits…

Being able to specify items you prefer in the bloodweb
I would love to be able to preset preferred items in the blood web so i dont have to scan it for specific things that I'm looking for. I work on trophies on playstion so a lot of the time I'm playing specific builds or using certain items. It would just make life so much easier to auto spend for 50 levels knowing it will…

Diminishing Returns indication
Would anyone else like it if your loadout told you what perks were being affected by diminishing returns? (and maybe even better, how much your percentages will be affected) No indication makes this system hard to wrap my head around and I can't imagine this is too friendly for new players who likely won't even know of the…

Stop with the 2v8 nonsense
This mode is only popular for ultra casual players and hurts the game in many ways : awful killers' queue time in 1v4 (and 2v8) awful matchmaking for 3 weeks in 1v4 It makes the game unplayable on the killer side, it is not acceptable in 2026 to have to deal with 10+ minutes queue times the whole day. Why do you keep…

Left 4 Dead X DBD Wave 2?
i know left 4 dead and dbd already had a collab years ago but why was it only bill added and nobody else…why not add all the characters as legendary outfits for bill? would love to see louis, zoey, francis, rochelle, coach, ellis & nick in the fog with bill <3 i know it’ll probably never happen but one can only hope! i…

Round Robin Mode
i think it would be cool to have a mode that's like round robin where five people can queue and one of them is chosen to be the killer either at random or it cycles through. would be good for friends who want to play together and still work towards quests/tomes/etc. which can be very hard in solo queue since not everyone…

Remove Matchmaking Penalty For Killers.
This needs to be a thing. The amount of hackers in this game is running rampant. I have a long matchmaking penalty for being forced to DC from hackers holding me hostage IN 3 STRAIGHT GAMES. This is absolute garbage. Survivor penalties make sense because you're sabotaging your team. For killer, the only one getting harmed…

Symbol and full button mapping support for the new Steam Controller.

Server disconnects
When you're disconnected from the server, the game recognizes that it isn't an intentional DC. However, any progress made toward challenges, experience, etc. is nullified as if it never happened. If this information is catalogued, we should be able to keep it. As is, server disconnects are common and it ends up wasting a…

Bringing Jack Krauser to DBD
I am doing a re-run on RE4R remaster and I would like to see a legendary skin for the Mastermind ( Albert Wesker).The skin I would like to see is Major Jack Krauser. They have pretty similar powers in the game and It would be really nice. I really like Krauser and it would be a good addition to DBD.

Glen Legendary Skin for Chucky
With the success of the chucky killer, I'd like to propose a new legendary skin for him similar to Tiffany Valentine, to complete the full family i think chuckys child Glen from the movie "Seed of Chucky". Glen is a fan-favourite horror icon and i think its only right if he was added to the game along side his parents.…

New game tutorial
So basically the main problem why new players struggle so much is the tutorial that sucks, so here's my proposal how to improve it. 1st, when you click on the tutorial for a particular side, it'll open a window with some sort of lessens that will be split in cathegories (basic, intermediate, advanced). Each should grant…

Feedback surrounding this week's ban wave
I want to preface this by saying as per the Forum Rules, this is not a post about about a specific person’s ban, nor do I need to appeal a game ban. I was not personally affected, I do not personally know anyone who was affected, nor do I know of any specific people in the community who were affected. I am not seeking any…

Tunneling
Dead by Daylight needs to do something about the tunneling. This is making me not want to play as much as i used to anymore. I do stream this game and i have some many videos of killers just not going for anyone but me in 2v8, and normal game modes. These type of killers need to be punished somehow.

Brightness of Flashlights Triggers Migraines -- Dark Mode needed
This has been something, that's been an issue for me (and others) for a while now. When I play killer I have to equip Lightborn to not get a migraine when they plan to flashlight me, or use blast mine or flashbangs on me. The same is when I am playing survivor and other survivors think its funny to throw a flashbang in my…

‼️‼️The Arab community really needs help ‼️‼️
I live in Saudi arabia and have an amazing internet connection and get consistent 10-40 ping on most of my games.. however, when I play dbd it’s a consistent 100-130 ping because i assume they’re sending me to other servers, and this has screwed me over so many times as a survivor and especially as a killer (there’s always…

Rework boon steadfast into invocation steadfast, i’m on my knees begging
after the invocation is done, all survivors are granted the ability to unhook themselves during the second stage of sacrifice with the downside of being broken through the remainder of the match. It might seem bad, but it comes in clutch if the killer proxy camps and you’re about to die anyway, might as well tank the…

Prophunt in dbd
I'd love to see a prophunt gamemode where survivors can turn into a random object (excluding grass etc) so like hay blocks, pallets, rocks etc. and some picked killers for this game mode would have a detection power that will allow them to spot survivors easier. In addition, maps for this game mode should be way smaller…

Proposed Legion Rework
Legion is a killer that has fallen to the way side over the years, being power crept by newer killers with much higher mobility. I think legion could benefit greatly from a teleport mechanic. Here's the gist, Legion's base kit power will remain unchanged. In addition to the base power, the other 3 members of the Legion…

Bloodweb Priority Mechanic
The auto level feature of the bloodweb progression could use a little streamlining.

I would like a mechanic where you can manually select offerings in a seperate menu for the…

When 2v8 Trapper buff?
Like, its pretty clear he's incredibly weak in 2v8. All it takes is 1 or 2 dedicated survivors to follow Trapper to disable him and survivors can get trapped cross map and escape in 1 attempt. Even if his stats might be "balanced", his games are by far extreme ends and heavily map dependend. I think giving honing stone and…

Hi id like to give a new killer suggestion that ive been working on and have just polished up
Dead by Daylight Chapter Concept – “The Black Phone” --- New Killer: The Grabber The Grabber is a psychological, control-based killer who thrives on fear, isolation, and forcing survivors into high-risk situations. Rather than overwhelming survivors with raw strength, he manipulates the environment—turning parts of the map…

Diminishing returns Questions:
This is not well explained in the Tutorial at all. All I have is the screenshot from the live where keeping the most value at 100% the next value at 50% then 25% , 12,5 and 5% Playing in game there is nothing that show us what gets reduced. We need a indicator that show us what get's reduced and say which value is being…

Mute/optional cencorship
Hello. I just got banned for "Communication abuse" and I can't express my opinion on this well enough without using harsh language.

Bloodweb Priority Purchases
As we all know from a previous update, the bloodweb got a quality of life update allowing players to upgrade their characters by selecting how many levels they would like to spend on said character without going through every single web.

Can you disable Pawn Collision on Wraith when he's revealing?
Please. He's too OP when he can block you while using the Bell to become visible again. Just disable the Pawn collision profile when he's using the bell and enable it again after. He's the most loathesome killer. P.S. maybe you could allow custom tags on the forum too. You've only got 4 tags we can use.

Dead by Daylight x Darkest Dungeon
As a Dead by Daylight and Darkest Dungeon player I was happy to see that Dead by Daylight's new Rift was focused on Darkest Dungeon. It was something I wanted to see (and that just made sense) ever since the "Behaviour Interactive acquires Red Hook Studios" news. Some choices were weird to see though, like Collector having…

ME servers
I have played Dead by Daylight for over 6 years now and I never experienced playing with a ping below 120. Middle East players are consistently forced onto EU servers with 100–150ms ping. Dead by Daylight is highly latency-sensitive, and many modern games already support Bahrain/UAE servers. Please consider adding Middle…
