Change Ps4 account to Steam account - give me your suggestion

I play since 2018 and and gave up. Im starting a new account on steam. I leave a lot of progress (4,5k hours), a lot of skins, a lot of money, all rifts. Im tired of Sony and Ps4 experience. The pc version is SO MUCH BETTER, so, i appreciate if you could give me your suggestion about grind. WHERE YOU START TODAY.? Seriously, its so many things to level up for unlock all perks, so, how would you do it? Thanks, and DEVS

I know grind reduced last year, but, honestly, you still need play like a crazy person to put every character on p3. Its ABSOLUTELY DISCOURAGE AND PAINFUL, please look for that AND CROSSPROGRESSION.

    Easy answer : You simply do not.

    The grind was so annoying it made me consider buying a PS5 again...

    The grind is absurd and unacceptable for someone starting out today. Paid MMOs don't have this level of grind. There really isn't a good answer to give here. I would never touch the game again if I lost my progress

    You should get 4 perks for your survivor, so with 4,5 million bp (even less if you like something like resilience), you have a good and fun build to play and earn bp.

    I did the same: deliverance, sprintboost, windows and resilience.

    The current Made for this-Build also works with two free perks: resilience and hope.

    Killer is different, depending on how many killer you play. Plus i didnt do it yet, so i have no experience. But honestly get corrupt first, than things like Pain res, deadlock and nwo. Thats a build which works on every killer. After that you can get slowly get all perks.

    Sure, there are perks which boost bloodpoints (but the effects get slowly removed like with prove), but maximising your bp gain will make the game suck and burn you out.

    And sure i would use the anniversary event and hoard the bp offerings on killer, but thats obvious.

    Also smartest way to go would be to go for p3 on all characters first, but bloody outfits are nice if you have nothing else.

    Well, you invested a whole hell lot of money and time, gave it up once, probably because of fatigue,burnout or some other kind of frustration and now you plan to do it all again with this monster of a grind ahead of you and all you investment gone, which probably will lead you to waste even more money on it.

    I personally don't see any good points here. But I also quit the game after roughly 300 hours accumulated over several years because I find it unbelievably repetitive and boring for my taste. Especially when playing solo all the time.

    yeah but, how you do that? put every on p1 first and in your main take the tier 3 on bloodweb or you put every on p3 directly?

    I would go for p1 for the first 4 perks, bc it should be quick. After that p3 bc you dont need more perks asap.

    But with the current event p3 is not even that far away and going straight for it is more efficient.

    PC is better, by an absolutely stupid amount.

    But I have to be honest, if it were me and I put all that time/money into the game before, there's no cross progression and at this point in the game's life there probably won't be, I'd be looking at a massive time/money sink just to get to where I was before with a game/company that couldn't be bothered to work out a cross progression contract or optimize the code for console seven years in, I really wouldn't do it again. My time/money would be better served investing into one or more games from other companies with better foresight and development/upkeep that'll probably have a longer life ahead of it than what DBD likely has left in it.

    It's your time and money, though, so play how you want.

    I changed fully to PS5 at the start of the year and it was this masquerade event that pretty much helped me catch up perk wise. It was a slog starting again. I've been unlocking survivor perks with bp (P1ing everyone) and killer perks on the daily shrine with my saved shards.

    Even though the grind will be tough it's well worth it to be on PC and enjoy more benefits and more games in general, it's not a waste because consoles come and go with time, instead of spending five hundred on a new console every few years you can simply upgrade your PC for cheaper and have better performance as to where in like a year the PS5 pro will be coming out and people will want those instead of a standard version even though PS5 really hasn't been out long, consoles also are more likely to have defects and stop working than PCs are. Just get familiar with how PCs are put together and dust it once a week is my advice.
