Skull Merchant in need of large buffs
Skull Merchant is by far the worst killer in the game. Otz has her ranked as F tier. There's just nothing that's effective on her. The change to 1 scan line made her unplayable. BHVR is not buffing Skull Merchant due to the 3 gen play style. Just make it so drones can't be placed near gens or something so she can be…

Wesker Changes
I am glad that Wesker is going to be receiving changes to make things about him basekit, similar to Oni, but I ask to PLEASEEEE PLEASEEE Remove that weird buffer between his dashes. It just makes him feel so sluggish to play This twitter post explains it best, https://x.com/Zyrav_/status/2026395189489684854?s=20 at around…

Skull Merchant Rework
In terms of the community stream for the 9.3.0 PTB: If you want to scrap the rework for the Skull Merchant then revert the nerfs she got. You knowingly nerfed her BECAUSE she would be reworked. Its really unfair towards the Skull Merchant players and its getting more andmore obvious that she did not need the nerfs in the…

Rank
The new way of ranking in DBD (silver, gold, iris…) is starting to really piss me of. Before if u did good you were going up, bad down and if u were doing ok you stayed. Like that you could really know your level and now the MMR is a mess. Change it back or do something else because i'm really tired of pairing with players…

Original Killer Concept: The Zetsubō – Harbinger of Despair
Lore Shadouhantā Tsbuku was an assassin from the Tōhoku region of Japan during the 13th century. After years of searching the mountains, he discovered a mysterious weapon known as the Scythe of Despair, a cursed artifact said to grant immense power. Word of the weapon eventually reached the empire, and Tsbuku was captured…

My opinion from both survivor and killer POV
Hi, I have been playing since 2018 both killer and survivor, and with recent updates is really boring and really predictable. The maps are too small and very limited due to gens being too close together to the point the exit gates are beside eachother and are neighbours and the maps and too bright so it loses its horror…

Betahub bug reports suggestion
Could you guys add the path where the log files are usually located on the description of the section so people would add them more often. Currently most people who report one bug don't even know where to find those files and so they rarely get added causing many bug reports to be placed in the "Need More Info" category as…

Bhvr, please, PLEASE FIX THIS EAC ISSUES
One day the game says that "EAC client cannot be instantiated" and now I can't launch the game. I reinstalled EAC, verified my files, restarted my pc and even reinstalled the entire game but NONE worked. I already suffered 3 days from it, now entering day 4. If anyone, ANYONE from BHVR is reading this, I'm on my knees,…

Badham still needs a rework
Badham already got reworked several times, but it's still the by far the most survivor sided map. The problem with Badham is it's a huge map with very strong loops. The large map size screws over most killers without mobility, and the strong loops waste even more time. I think the buildings having strong loops is fine, but…

Request: 120 FPS / 120 Hz Performance Mode for PS5 Pro (and ideally PS5) + fix the cubic skin textur
Hello Behaviour, I wanted to make a suggestion regarding Dead by Daylight on PlayStation, mainly for PS5 Pro. I really think a 120 FPS / 120 Hz Performance Mode would be a great addition for PS5 Pro, and ideally for standard PS5 too if it’s possible. Dead by Daylight is a game where smoothness and responsiveness matter a…

Kaneki voice lines should also play during matches
Hi Behaviour team, First of all, I want to say that the Tokyo Ghoul collaboration is great. Ken Kaneki is one of the most iconic anime characters and it’s really cool to see him in Dead by Daylight. However, I noticed that Kaneki’s voice lines mostly play only in the lobby. During matches he mainly makes screams and attack…

Why is The Spirit still designed around sound-only tracking despite the accessibility support featur
I would like to raise a concern about The Spirit. This killer is able to track survivors primarily through sound, which often makes chases feel like there is very little real mindgame involved from the survivor side. In many situations, it feels completely normal to go down very quickly because her power is simply too…

About some overpowered killers
Killers like The Blight, The Nurse, Kaneki, and Rin Yamaoka (The Spirit) clearly have extremely strong abilities. Is their strength balanced with voice chat (SWF) groups in mind? I usually play solo, and when I go against these killers, it often ends up feeling like they just dominate the match. That’s why I’ve been…

The Onryo & The Pitfalls of Balancing Around Inexperience
At this point, basically all of us can agree that DbD has a problem with successfully onboarding new players. The tutorials that this game does have are very old and only explain the basics of the game. They might be enough to understand simple objectives, but the counterplay to specific Killers is something that can only…

The Oni: The Three Shards of Jigoku (New Secondary Power)
Hi everyone, I’ve been thinking about The Oni and how he currently feels a bit limited when not in Blood Fury. I wanted to propose a new secondary power inspired by Japanese folklore to give him more map pressure and unique interactions. Here is my concept for 'The Three Shards of Jigoku'—three unique Yokai spirits that…

Flashlight Rework Pitch
I'm going to be pretty bold with this one, so I ask that you bear with me and really consider what I'm saying. When it comes to flashlights, the problems I'm aiming to fix aren't that the item is too strong or too weak. In that regard, I actually think flashlights are in a pretty good spot- my issues lay elsewhere. For…

How terribly bad this game is balanced
I’ve been playing video games since I could move my fingers. There is absolutely no argument on the planet that could prove your game is well balanced. This is most one sided game I’ve ever played. Not only is the killer unbalanced ,but they are SEVERELY BROKEN. I’ve put countless hours into this game and the ONLY time we…

Please give boons some much needed love!!
Ever since circle of healing, boons we’re doomed to be bad. They simply don‘t justify the time spend blessing them and are too niche/bad at the same time. Their radius is too small, too long set up time, too easy to get rid off for killers and too bad effects. Here are some ideas on how to solve their problems. Boons…

Please add Middle East servers for Dead by Daylight
Hello, Many Dead by Daylight players from the Middle East and Gulf region (Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar) are experiencing very high ping, usually between 120–300 ms. This makes the game unfair because hits and interactions are delayed. Many online games already have Middle East servers (like in UAE or…

Lobby/endgame chat for console? Coming soon?
I would like to ask if endgame chat will ever be added to console? Being able to turn it on in settings would be so great for solo queue & cross play. Not being able to celebrate/discuss pre/post game is isolating asf. I’m sure it’s probably been asked before… but… is it ever gonna come!? 💔

Add Eleven’s Season 5 Final Battle Pants as a Cosmetic
I would love to see the pants from Eleven’s Season 5 final battle outfit added to the game. Either adding the pants on their own as a cosmetic piece or including them as part of a full outfit would be amazing. I think they would look really good and give players more customization options. They would go perfectly with the…

Request: Please shorten killer animations
In patch 6.1.0 BHVR decided to speed up many animations. These included 10% duration reductions of basic attacks, and basic-breaks for pallets and generators. I think it might be time for you to consider another round of animation duration reductions, including not just the above but also picking up survivors, dropping…

Hey BHVR. How is it going with Unreal 5? Do you like it?

Skull Merchant REWORK: Ziptie Merchant

consider making Kindred basekit for players outside of a SWF (minus the killer aura reading)
I think this has been brought up a couple of times, but I wanted to reignite the discussion because it would be a simple addition and would make the gap between SWF and Solo Queue smaller. The DBD team has done great with giving more info to players, but anything that buffs Solo Queue and makes it so you don't lose a game…

Regarding the Future of "The Skull Merchant"
The Skull Merchant has been through a very rough set of updates and so i thought i would take a crack at a rework concept that focuses on making her more active around the map in order to find her value while still maintaining her core audience: My core idea stems from her very own "style system" but themed around data…

Keys and Maps
So Keys and Maps were reworked for the Walking Dead 9.1.0 patch on July 29th 2025 and I feel like they could still use a little more tweaking.

Scary Movie mask

Rick's default pants
I have a question, why is the color of Rick's default pants not the same as in the show, they supposed to be completely black while in the game they are blue, also his buttons on the gun belt have some gold color when they are all supposed to be silver, Because of this, they do not match well with other clothes

Xenomorph prestige badge
I don't know if its just me, but as a huge fan of the Alien / Predator franchises one thing that really bothers me with this prestige badge is the xenomorph's eyesockets and nose being shown.

Feedback on The Trickster’s Character Direction After the Rework
