REMOVE LEGION FROM 2V8
Please for the love of God remove this absolute boring killer from this modifier. 10 matches against 8 Legions. This killer is disgustly boring to face agaisnt and never should came to this mode.

Myers should have gotten a model update with this patch.
Out of all the Killer models in the game, Myers has legit one of- if not THE most oudated looking models in the entire game and this update would have been perfect timing to visually overhauling him. Seriously, his current model looks like it's made out of clay or play-doh.
-
Well... It's a very ambitious sledgehammer...
I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with shifting power away from slugging and tunneling. Killers getting buffs to a non tunneling playstyle as well as nerfs to tunneling I think that's a good approach... but these changes as a whole feel for killer like being given a slightly stale but mostly fine cupcake but…

New Killer Suggestion
You should make a Michael Jackson killer, in south america people are afraid of him and call him THE AYUWOKI and it's pretty messed up scary... look it up...!!! THAT'S A GOLD MINE YOU'RE SITTING ON!! CLAIM IT

Kaneki Kidnap tech
So kidnap tech is strong, which is why it's being removed. Now there is a counter to it but there is a counter to the counter which I am NOT opposed to being removed, however kidnap tech itself I am. I have a suggestion to make it so you can only do kidnap tech when you're not enraged, this could be done alongside a rework…

Undo Myers changes
You turned Myers from one of the most interesting Killers into a dash killer. He was unqiue with a cool set of playstyles and in the top 5 of best add on variety. Now he is a Dash Killer. Like why? He was fine.

deep rift skins
So im like a huge castlevania fan and unfortunally i had to go on vaction during most of the castlevnia event/tome and missed out on the deep rift skins. Its been bugging me literally so much that i missed out on them, so my idea /question is about adding a way to acquire old deep rift skins. The idea is that you guys can…

Ideas for More 2v8 Killers
A couple days ago, I made more Survivor Classes, now it's time for more Killers! I'll be breaking the Power changes for 2v8 based on what aspect of the Power it is. I will also leave a link to the Survivor Classes post! https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/454729/ideas-for-more-2v8-survivor-classes#latest…

Healthy changes, thank you.
A lot of people don't like change, but these are really healthy changes. Please don't let killer and especially streamer bias stop these changes from going through. Most people don't seem to understand that if a survivor dies early at 3, 4, or especially 5 gens, the game is over. Now, there actually will be a chance for…
-
The real problem with tunneling...
Well folks, I'll give you a hint. It isn't the UI! Why does it matter if the killer get a notification (which I believe is delayed by two seconds regardless) once a survivor is unhooked? Either they know the unhook is happening, or they aren't really paying attention. And if you know what I'm talking about, then you know.…

2v8: Combo Moris
Since the choice of killers in 2v8 is limited and changes with each update, new Moris could be added that require both killers on the same survivor, like Combo Moris.

Perk Changes
Short and Sweet we don't need new perks for awhile because a lot perks are starting to come out and just be better versions of something else that already exist. Not to mention if something new comes out thats unique its usually trash thats not going to be used. Hex: Two can play is a prime example of that. Theres also the…

Constructive feedback for anti-tunnel
The majority of these notes seem fine enough, at least worth trying but I have a few sticking points about the anti-tunnel Not being shown the survivors hook state as the killer. I assume this means you don't see the hook icon over the survivors portrait. My concern with this is if I hook someone and walk away but can't…

Developer Update Thoughts and Suggestions
Here are my initial thoughts on the developer update from hopefully a fairly unbiased perspective considering I am very experienced in both roles, and play them relatively equally. I’ll try to address the changes roughly in order of their appearance in the notes, and if I don’t mention something I am probably fine with it.…
-
Killer Perk Pitch
Humble Beginnings: At the start of each trial, a single survivor is exposed to the knowledge of their own survival, while the killer remains unaware. Each time the survivor is hooked, the curse spreads to another survivor. However, for each hook, the killer loses a significant amount of their speed or, alternatively, the…

2v8: The "new" Escapist is maybe the most broken thing since insta moris, heals and gens
Is this a bug, or did you guys really think it would be a good idea to give survivors a Sprint Burst by click??? It's like Dead Hard, but with 150 % movement speed. Survivors are literally unkillable in 2v8 right now, if they're playing Escapist or if an Escapist is nearby, unless you're a Nurse, Blight, Hillbilly etc. The…

Balancing mechanics around different killers is an AMAZING step in the right direction
The latest Developer Update (August 2025) has a whole bunch of flashy new changes, and I think those are overshadowing one of the most important things in the entire update: the fact the new "unique hook bonus" system is hard-coded to be weaker or stronger depending on which killer you're playing. This is fantastic and so,…
-
Concern about the anti-slugging
I am honestly not a big fan of the new anti-slugging changes. These changes will make slugging way weaker, which makes build countered by being slugged even better. A while ago for example I had a game where I went against a full sabo squad. They all grouped up to constantly deny hooks, but eventually I managed to snowball…

Why Deep Rift cosmetics should be brought into the store
I’ve been playing Dead By Daylight almost everyday for 6 months now, and I’ve been a life long Castlevania fan. Unfortunately, I missed out on the Deep Rift versions of Soma and Dracula’s True Form, and in my opinion, you shouldn’t gatekeep these cosmetics from new players for a few reasons One, most people on Reddit and X…

9.2 Developer Notes are emblematic of the problem with all updates
I wanted to take a moment to try to go through the entirety of the Dev Notes that were released today, but I think my main take away is that a lot of these changes will fail because the Devs are trying to do too much at once. I don't think we need a long list of special effects to combat tunneling, especially particularly…
-
Don't make the game work different for different killers
I mostly like the anti-tunneling changes (besides faster gens peed if you get a kill udner 6 hooks and permanent gen regression block if you hook someone twice in a row), punishing the killer for tunneling and rewarding the killer for spreading hooks, but one line bothered me. "These effects are slightly lessened for The…

BHVR will you be buffing deathslinger?
I feel slinger falling behind each update, his 1v1 isn’t good enough to make up for the no map pressure/mobility and he is like the killer that gets punished for hitting a survivor with his power for example, I snipe a guy 14 meters away and he’s injured then gets stuck behind a wall because he can sway left and right for…

Killer QoL
With the upcoming antislug and antitunnel it's time to debate about base game killer changes, here's my suggestions: → 3 generators most away from you will now be locked untill first survivor is downed (corrupt basekit) Corrupt will now block every gen for 30s the first time each unique survivor enters dying state →…

Onryo updates
Basekit: → Onryo can now kill survivor holding tape (previously was when survivor had 7 stacks) → Survivor with 7 stacks suffer from exposed and can no longer interact with TVs → Tvs now trigger cooldown only when survivor shuts them off (from 60s to 30s) → All stacks are now locked when hooked (was 3 stacks per hook) →…

Shattered Hope Buff
Current effect Instead of snuffing Boon Totems you destroy them. Destroying a Boon Totem this way reveals the Auras of all Survivors that were within its range at that moment for 6/7/8 seconds.

30 sec afk in 2v8 = auto bot
Console players are queuing into killer side en masse and AFK'ing resulting in wasting PC players' time in quantities of over 30 minutes There's no excuse for this. 30 seconds of zero input should give me a bot automatically and insta-2 hour penalty the offender for wasting valuable time.

The Good Guy Child's Play 1 Skins?
I wanted to ask, is there ever going to be a possibility that The Good Guy will receive a skin which is faithful to his look in the middle half of the original Child's Play movie? To me and I think to a lot of Chucky fans, this is what we think of when we picture Chucky. The almost human skin, realistic ice blue eyes, the…

2v8, or normal games in general
Ok, I played this game when it was even on the phone having fun, but up until today I have to say it, survivors are useless in the game, its great had they make killers the red carpet, but the survivors are in the same horrible loop. Im going to be being honest, I stay in the game when all my members leave the game leaving…

Dead By Daylight should move on and evolve from predictable map templates
DBD doesn’t use full RNG for loops, pallets, and tiles, they’re semi-randomized but follow fixed templates. That predictability makes the game not fun and repetitive but it also lets experienced players memorize maps. The devs confirmed on the AMA reddit of 2025 that the game has evolved past the original design into chase…

An angry but somewhat rational rant about the Ghoul
I do not own the Ghoul, I have not played the Ghoul, and if I did, I am absolutely certain I wouldn't mind him as much as I do. It's one of those things where it looks unfair from my side, but genuinely takes a lot of skill from the other side. Again, I don't really know, but I assume it is that way cause it tends to be.…

A Few Updates the game very badly needs (nothing major, but would be massive QOL changes)
1. Game Replay Viewer to re-watch matches from team and killers view. 2. Retain Lobbies w/ Friends and move between game modes like 2v8, 1v4, custom games, etc.. 3. Ability to add a Killer Bot into Custom Games and choose Bot Difficulties. Game Play Viewer - Ideally to start it could be locally stored as something you…

Deathslinger's gun should trigger endurance hits, or have Survivors with endurance escape quicker.
If Wesker hits you with a dash while you have endurance or an active Mettle of Man, it triggers an endurance/MoM hit as if you were hit by a basic attack, instead of grabbing you and slamming/throwing you. Being grabbed by Houndmaster's dog while you have endurance (unsure of Mettle of man) will cause the dog to release…

Victor QoL
Twins is the killer with the lowest pick rate in the entire game, they have had issues with victor collisions for a while now, and keep getting nerfed, because no one knows how to play against them so their kill rate gets artificially inflated, there's a lot of popular perks that straight out counter twins like wglf, mft,…

Bringing the old aesthetic of DBD back as an option
Hi, as the title suggests, I would like an option to either choose the classic look of DBD (something as old as the ST chapter) or the newer updated look of DBD.

Since Pyramid head got his add-on pass I’ve been thinking who needs one next and Sadako seems like the prime candidate for an add-on pass because Half of her add-ons are either so bad to the point where you really shouldn’t run them like mother’s comb, telephone, VCR, And all of her green add-ons, or are actively to use…

Random cosmetic preset option
I think it'd be nice to be able to set different cosmetic presets as favourites, and then have the option for the game to randomly select one of them each time you load into a lobby. I have a LOT of outfits to pick from, and I think it'd be really cool to be able to rotate through my favourites automatically. Apex Legends…

Fog Vials tweaks

A solution for the "surprise 2-tap" in 2v8
No, I'm not going to complain about being chased by 2 Killers when I play Survivor in 2v8. That's part of it, and It's really fun to play Killer with my duo and actually be able to coordinate. What I'm not a big fan of is getting 2-tapped or just flat-out running into the other Killer when I had absolutely no idea that the…

Seems Shattered Hope is a very underutilized perk, we can fix it.
We gotta keep the breaking of the totem as a feature, its unique and something one can tinker with. So hear my out, we take a page out of Haddie's Overzealous and slap speed on it too. So if when you break a totem, you gain like 7% speed for 10 sec. (or something like that) and aura reading for 10 seconds on any Survivor…

Dead by Daylight’s Biggest Problem: The Killer Is Random
I was originally going to tack this onto my "Identity Crisis" post, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized this is such a fundamental flaw in DbD that it deserves its own discussion. The biggest reason DbD feels unfair, inconsistent, and thematically messy is this: the killer is always random. Think about it:…
