Competitive Mode

I always thought Dead by Daylight itself is already a competitive game, yet I think things can be made better and more rewarding by adding a different mode once there's a lot of people that play this game. Loading times are a bit of an issue especially in the high ranks. I was thinking, what would it be like if Dead by Daylight had a competitive mode? I have a few personal ideas written down below on how it might be, but you can give your own ideas and opinions down below.


  • Competitive Mode would be unlocked once you reached Rank [ 4 ] and stays unlocked.
  • Competitive Mode can only be played in Purple and Red ranks.
  • There would be [ 10 ] Placement Matches that a player has to go through.
  • The Placement Matches will be only full of players who are also currently in the Placement Phase.
  • Competitive Mode is only for Solo Players. [ No SWF ]
  • Your Survivor / Killer Rank does not increase or decrease while you play Competitive Mode, but you still gain Bloodpoints.
  • Rewards are greater after you completed your Placement Matches.
  • Your Placement is determined by how many Placement Matches you've won or lost.
  • Your Overall Placement is determined by the amount of Iridescent Emblems you have gotten in total while playing Competitive.
  • Competitive Mode grants [ 20% ] more Bloodpoints.
  • Each Iridescent Emblem grants you [ 100 ] Iridescent Shards in Competitive if you escape as Survivor or achieve Merciless as Killer.
  • Farming is strictly prohibited in Competitive.
  • Moris and Keys are not usable in Competitive.
  • The Hatch will only spawn if only [ 1 ] Survivor is alive.
  • Iridescent / Exposing / Killing Addons [ Iridescent Head, Iridescent Coin, Redhead's Pinky Finger, Judith's Tombstone, etc. ] are not usable in Competitive.
  • Barbeque & Chili does not reveal the auras of players when hooking in Competitive.
  • Devour Hope and No One Escapes Death is still usable in Competitive.


If Dead by Daylight had a Competitive Mode, what kind of rules would you add to it?

    At first just off reading the title, I was against it, but after reading through it, it sounds really good. I’d definitely be up for this, especially if it rewards me with more shards and bp!

    I like the idea but solo play hardly can be equal to top tier killers.

    P.S. bbq is op?

    Not at all, it isn't. I just think aura revealing perks and exposing addons should be nerfed in a Competitive playstyle to make it difficult for the Killer too, not just the Survivor.

    There are things you'd have to do to make it more balanced, but ultimately I think it'd just make queue times longer for everyone. Killers might JUST want to play competitive so they don't have to face SWF squads.

    DbD isnt a competitive game. It will never be, cause its an asymmetrical game and has far too much rng elements.
