Suggestion: Chase Music
Dear Dead by Daylight team,
First of all, I would like to thank you for continuously improving the game’s atmosphere and the individuality of each killer through custom chase music themes.
I would like to make a suggestion regarding the chase music for a few specific killers, in order to enhance immersion and atmosphere during matches:
1. The Nurse:
I suggest a rework of her chase music to make it darker, more haunting, and less action-driven. Given her lore — being a tormented spirit of pain and suffering — a chilling, oppressive soundscape with heavy echoes, distorted strings, and ghostly whispers would match her presence much better than a fast-paced chase beat.
2. Wraith, Huntress, Plague, Leatherface (Bubba), Pig, Freddy:
These killers currently use the standard chase music, and I believe they deserve their own unique themes that reflect their backgrounds and personalities:
- Wraith: A hollow, distant bell-based theme with eerie metallic tones.
- Huntress: A folk horror-inspired melody with broken humming or distant traditional instruments.
- Plague: A ritualistic, ancient chant mixed with deep, unsettling tones.
- Leatherface: Raw, chaotic sounds of chains, screams, and heavy breathing.
- Pig: Stealthy and tense music with mechanical ticking sounds and distorted whispers.
- Freddy: A surreal, dream-like distorted lullaby that turns into nightmarish soundscapes.
Adding personalized chase music for these killers would greatly enhance the immersion and uniqueness of each match, and further demonstrate the game’s commitment to delivering a rich, terrifying experience for players.
Thank you very much for considering this suggestion!
Kind regards,
Isra

Yeah, especially Plague, Pig, Bubba and Freddy need new chase themes.

Oo I agree some killers are hard to tell apart because they share the same music. Hearing new music is interesting, I also like the Idea of legions mix tapes changing their music. I would like see that with other killers as well depending on their add on. For example what if infinity myer had its own ver or trickster getting a remix depending on if he had different records or such.
I would also like to see a sound adjuster in accessibility section. Some of the killers chase music get way to loud at time and feel like it's to much for my ADD. I would like a way to cap the sounds to a certain lvl if avalable. But then again I feel like that option would be considered a crutch to some.

tbh, I'd love to not have music at all and instead just the games sounds. I want the gsme to be scary and tense, and to rely on the sounds to locate the others

I've listened to the Ghostface chase music for over 10k hours, I'd like to have the option of playing my own stuff in the background or just not hearing the chase music for the immersion value.
There have been a couple times in the past when bugs disabled the chase music and we got to taste that experience…it was nice…and no, chases didn't become any easier. You don't need the chase music to muffle sounds either, there are survivor perks for that if it's truly desired.
As far back as I can remember, adjusting the volume of music, sfx, voices, etc. has always been a standard feature in games; so why can we not have that in DbD?
