Divinity or Design? How Technology Sustains the New Grimoire Killers
Something feels off about these androgynous angels. Could we have the first gender Non-Binary killer? Their appearance signals they exist beyond human categories - but both are missing legs, hinting they can’t fully maneuver without support. One uses artificial, entity-like appendage; the other hovers via a vortex almost…

Bring back Charity Case
I know it's been stated previously that the devs do not want to collab with creators again for cosmetics in the game, however I am all about charity and would love to see a new version of the Charity Case in the game. Especially with the new Creator Program and all the great creators that are a part of the program. Many of…

Chaos shuffle January 2026
Hello everyone! I wanted to express my excitement about this iteration of Chaos Shuffle. What makes it even more enjoyable is the addition of a killer add-ons that is now shuffled in. The RNG has created a truly random and unpredictable experience, which I thoroughly enjoy. However, I must admit that with all four…

Whos your Grimoire Survivor pick
Personally really hope we get one of these two, I really like the designs and they are different to other survivors we have in the game already Edit: someone already made thread go here instead since I cant delete posts:

Sadako changes suggestions
Substantial changes that I would like to see for sadako for 2026 Base Kit changes - • manifest invisibility last for 1.3 seconds (was 1 second) • demanifest invisibility Last for 1.5 second (was 1.2) •Increase projection duration movement speed for 3 seconds (was 2 seconds) • sadako now gains her manifest duration when…

SWF suggestion
I think all of us know that playing as part of a SWF gives players a major advantage. I think this suggested change would even the balance out for killers playing against SWFs. For every other survivor in a party, players get a 6% repair speed penalty. So a SWF with 2 people results in 6% slower repair speed for each, 3…

Why is this addon part of Chaos Shuffle???
Its not even good at all, frankly just an instant loss. The days of Myers sniping you indoors is over, the map offerings dont help enough to make it viable. At least let people Opt out of having a random power degradation.

Medkits and why they SUCK!
The medkit change that brought about the self healing reduction in medkits comes from a place of concern, however every rarity medkit is EXACTLY the same besides healing others faster! I think medkits should receive some diversity and changes to set it apart better. Common Medkit: Keep the same, but I really do think…

Oni buffs suggestions to make him feel better to play as.
Oni during blood fury is one of the most amazing killers to play as, however he has many annoying issues. The need for a basic attack on early game is at the center of this, as sometimes survivors will just keep pre dropping pallets and holding w making it so your power is impossible to get which feels incredibly…

Don’t Forget About The Hag! – Rework Ideas
I believe that The Hag is currently one of the weakest Killers in the game. When it comes to buffing The Hag, many players suggest simply increasing her movement speed to 4.6 m/s. While that would certainly make her feel better to play, I don’t think it would fundamentally solve her problems. In my opinion, bringing The…

Add option to make your stats public
Basically, add an option to make your stats profile public. This allows you to share your profile for other people to view. Additionally, if this option is enabled, you should be able to view that person's profile in your match history. For example, this is a match from the match history with the names of all the players.…

What's going on with the game anyway?
I have a lot of questions. Why introduce an anti-tunnel system, etc.? What's the point of playing as a survivor and learning how to play? I can easily tell the assassin about their limited position. Honestly, there are a lot of problems without this, starting with the fact that the developers don't seem to play DBD. There…

Blidness is just an effect that only exist to make SoloQ more miserable
After playing some chaos suffle I encounter a lot of killers with third seal. It is a totem, yes, but the times I've reached second state in my first because my teammates didn't know where I was is ridiculous. A swf team doesn't have this kind of problem because they can tell where they are, but with randoms? I just wish…

Please make Game afoot work on killer power breaks
As the title says, the perk game afoot would be SOOO much better if it did work with killer power breaks(Bubba/Billy chainsaw, Nemy whip, etc.). In fact, it used too i dont remeber when it stopped working, but it just suddenly stopped working with killer power breaks. So plz BHVR fix or rebuff this perk, it's not so strong…

Please do something about survivor items disabling the lobby animations!
Over the years theyve been making a ton of cool idle animations for survivors in the lobby. However these do not play if you are holding an item which is a massive shame imo. Theres no reason why this should be the case, at least in the matchmaking lobby. I think an elegant solution would be to be like springtrap, whenever…

Generators → Generator base time increased to 125s → Rework hyperfocus, bardic inspiration and overzelaus Healing → cap healing others at 200% (max 100 % bonus) → cap self healing at 100 % (no bonus exceed base 16 charges) Toolboxes → Remove comodious toolbox entirely Flashlights → blinding killer grants them blindness…

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Collab Would Be Cool
Dio For his ability first having to hit a survivor giving haste then if he gets stunned gains his ability charge for the world where it's 2.5 sec of stopped time and he gains another charge after hitting enough survivors plus cooldown for charges regenerating every 25 second is fair mostly plus the mori and survivors only…

Prestige System – From Locked Skins to Visual Effects
Personally, I’ve always imagined the Prestige blood not as a fixed cosmetic skin, but as a visual effect. Core Idea Players can equip any outfit they want. The Prestige blood is applied as a separate overlay effect. The blood effect would be: Toggleable on/off Independent from specific cosmetics Why This Matters Gives…

Trapper Rework – Improving Tempo While Preserving His Identity
The Trapper is one of the most iconic killers in Dead by Daylight, but in the current state of the game he feels heavily punished by the overall speed and generator pressure. His reliance on long setup time often results in losing momentum before meaningful pressure can begin. Core Problem Heavy early-game setup Low chase…

My idea for the new killer grimiore
A killer that uses divine weapons made of fog and the shards and maybe it could be that it was some type of war veteran who was blown up after a grenade was thrown breaking through the glass at a church taking shrapnel and sacrificed himself and he was ignored and never thanked so he became vengeful as the entity saves him…

Please don't forget about Fog Vials
The game desperately needed new items for survivors and when we finally got Fog Vials after 9 years, they got basically destroyed after a few weeks. They really need some kind of buff, for example: The number of charges can be increased from 2 to unlimited again, but each use would increase the cooldown by 10s (let's say…

Are gen speeds a joke?
lmao its just hilarious how fast survivors can pop generators right now its comedy. Theres no way behavior knows what these SWFs can do with these gen rushing builds its insane. Is there a bug or something going on??

Odd suggestion/chapter idea (most likely won't happen but it's the thought of what it could be)
How would yall think a helluva boss or hazbin hotel chapter would look like exactly? The thought of a divine killer that us, the community voted for, It got me thinking of what a potential chapter one of the 2 series would be like in differences and similarities with what we know so far about the Grimoire voted chapter and…

Map dependant killers and map offerings
I really dislike current map spawns on account of just how map dependant a lot of killers are. I've been playing around 60/40 killer to survivor lately and what map i end on is incredibly more important when i'm playing killer than when i'm playing survivor, especially for the less strong, more stealth dependant killers.…

Pallets not making the killer drop the carried survivor.
Has anyone else been having issues where the killer is stunned with the pallet but won't drop the survivor. It mostly seems to be a problem with ghouls.

Much-needed boon changes
Here are a few thoughts on how to allow better group strategies without omega-boon builds. 1- every boon radius on the map should display the effects of ANY active boon totem; 2- the perk Counterforce (Jill Valentine) should work for blessing as well. For each individual totem blessed or cleansed, you gain +25% stackable…

Is it possible to change the rules of the game?
Most high-ranking games are like this: The Killer tunnels one Survivor, while three others repair different generators. • Because the simplest and most effective winning tactic for the Killer is tunneling. • And for the Survivors, it's genrushing. Moreover, repairing different generators is crucial because repairing a…

SOLO QUEUE IMPROVEMENTS
Lately I've seen there's a ton which can be improved in the SoloQ experience, such as the communication with YOUR OWN TEAM. Let's be honest: It makes no sense I can't even see MY TEAMMATES' auras during the whole game. Whenever I jump into a SoloQ match, the games feels like I am playing a 1v1 against the killer instead of…

So the horrible change no one likes to Skull Merchant is here to stay?
I just don't understand… not a single person who plays Skull Merchant or plays against Skull Merchant likes the change to her undetectable trigger. Please revert it already, it was a horrible change and I have no idea how anyone thought it was a good idea in the first place. Undetectable should only trigger when PLACING a…

Please Make Dredge Nightfall Quieter to The Killer Player
the nightfall sound effects are a little too loud and causes me to lose some tracktracking on the survivors when I hear them through walls. An easy fix would be a toggle for the killer in the settings to turn these sounds off exceexcept for the starting sound of nightfall (that ones important). I think this is a quick easy…

We, Thai Players. We Request a Separate Server for Players in Thailand
Hello, my name is JohnVelma, a Creator Program member from Thailand. I don’t know how much Dead by Daylight’s server infrastructure has changed in the past or present. However, in the past, when I played the game, my ping was usually as low as 20 and at most around 70 (20–70). I’ve heard many rumors from the Thailand…

Map offerings
if map offerings are going to be as bad as they are now when it comes to the chance of getting hte map, they at least need to be refunded if they don't sucesfully pick a map so that it means if you keep using the offering you will eventually get the map you want to go to, but as it is right now it's chance a 4/5 chance you…

Chaos shuffle is nice off meta event but shows the sad truth
→ stacked slowdowns on top tier killer in normal mode is overkill while lower tier killers heavily rely on it. → many perks are completely useless on it's own - ghost notes, blood rush etc. → many perks negate each others - fe. rapid with beast of prey → how many bad perks are in game - overture doom, wondering eye,…

Cosmetic Purchase Regret: A Cross-Progression Tale
Before I say anything… YES, this is entirely my fault, but please allow me to tell my cautionary tale. I have played DBD on both PS5 and PC… before cross-progression existed… so naturally I own a crazy mix of survivors and cosmetics across platforms. Recently, I started playing again on PS5 with a friend. Life was good.…

Please consider allowing progression in Custom Games
Hi, I'd have such an easier time if I could let me friends who are new to the game level via playing custom games with me, introducing them and teaching them while they earn bps and rewards and the like. This would allow more ways to play and encourage groups of friends to play custom games more often who'd not normally…

Skull Merchant "Buffs"
As much as I praise the potential bullet dodged of that awful rework, I still have to stand my ground as a Skull Merchant player. These "Buffs" will do almost nothing to her current state. Just put her back where she was, give her two scan lines, haste on detection and hinder on trap scan, these tools made her such a…

Survivor Gameplay Is Becoming Unplayable Due to Endless Slugging
Hello developers, I’d like to report an issue that has been making survivor gameplay extremely frustrating and, at times, completely unplayable. In many matches, killers are leaving survivors slugged on the ground for the entire match, creating an infinite and repetitive cycle. This happens especially often when the killer…

Chaos Shuffle isn't Chaotic Enough
I've played a lot of chaos shuffle lately, and I've noticed one thing, besides the random perks, and potentially random items, chaos shuffle is just regular match, nothing to set it apart from a basic match. I propose a few changes to make chaos shuffle a bit more fun: 1: Increase perks to 6, with 2 of the perks being…

Love For Huntress
Huntress is pretty outdated, yet still loved by community and she must receive bit of love. What can we give her, to close gap between her and good killers… → When Huntress is out of hatchets, she's 115 % (putties basekit) → Reload at locker down to 1.5s. so she's less iron maiden requirement → 10 hatchets (no more with…

Release Idea: Dr.Who universe with Weeping angels
I think a release dedicated to and based off the Dr.Who universe would be amazing (including map, killer and new survivor). The killer could utilize weeping angels with a similar format as the zombies from the nemesis but with several more of them, and make them faster since their progression towards players is slowed or…

DBD needs a receipt list
Frankly it baffles me that it does not have one, but its very important and even if you guys forgot to record all purchases that happened, its still important for the future of the game. It should be possible to access this list ingame and go through every purchase made with auric, iridecent shards. Aswell as purchases…

Coming back after a year; has undetactable/stealth uptime and perks increased and gone up?
Hi all, returning after about a year away and trying to get my bearings again. I’m only a few hundred hours in, so I’m not pretending this is a “balance verdict” post. I’m more trying to understand if the current meta has significantly more Undetectable / stealth uptime (especially paired with speed), or if I’m just rusty…

New Killer Suggestion - Dexter
Get the licensing to Dexter and add him as a killer. I think he would fit as a good killer and would have his mori animation be his iconic table kills. Could add Sr. James Doaks or other people as survivors.
