Truly hoping custom matches get bp and challenges in 2025

The main thing I hope for in the new year is getting to play as killer in custom matches and at least getting some BP or being able to complete challenges. Heck, I would be happy with just challenges alone for that matter. Sometimes, I just want to try out killers and perks and do some challenges without getting curb stomped and t bagged in a public match.

I love DBD and enjoy playing my killers. But sometimes I just don't have the energy to deal with some of the stuff that goes on in public matches, and some nights I just want to feel like I'm progressing the game without encountering all that. Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed gives players the option to progress the game either with bots or other players, and it doesn't take away from the game and people are definitely still playing in public matches as well. It gives newer players a chance to learn without embarrassment in a public match. And it lets more experienced players have a bit of a break from the competitive and frustrating nature of some of the public matches. It also cuts down on some of the survivors going into matches and sinking a team by just focusing on their challenges or tome.

    I don't think they will ever do that, because too many players would just stay in Customs forever then. Plus, you already have everything unlocked in Customs, so there is no risk or reason to have BP in that mode.

    customs already let you use everything without needing to unlock it. So I don't see why customs need to be a place to earn bp

    People could just bot customs to earn BP 24/7 so they will never do this

    The things I would add to customs are more in-game modifications. (how many gens, hooks, totems, movement speeds, stats, add-ons etc.)

    Like basically an experimental labor where you can do and test anything you like.

    I don't think that will happen because you can just play against friends and therefore farm bloodpoints or challenges without issue xD

    Custom Game is a sandbox mode with unlimited access to add-ons and perks. It's meant to allow people to quickly test various things, explore maps, try out killer powers.

    What this mode needs most of all is at least one killer bot (Trapper), so that you can also play Survivor without the need of a buddy.

    But making any sort of progress available completely defeats the point, because why would anyone bother with the live queue?

    We need the killer bots in custom first

    BHVR already stated 3-4 months ago that they are planning on introducing BP gains in custom matches (not as high as in pubs) because custom matches are mainly played for scrim/tournament purposes

    I think if your game is so unpleasant that people are genuinely worried about a significant portion of the playerbase going to customs instead of chancing a public match in order to earn points, you have a BIG issue.
