What's one dumb thing you used to always do when you first started the game?
Mine would probably have to be using iron grasp all the time because I was afraid of a survivor wiggling out lol.

I use to throw pallets at the start of the game. My friends got really mad a lot.
I didn’t know about the stun or looping. To me they stopped the killer from an area, they had to break it, and I could go through them. So in my mind I was creating safe areas by throwing pallet.
I also didn’t know it notifies the killer when you did that haha.

I thought hex:Ruin notified the killer every time I hit a skill check xD

One of the silliest things I used to do was complain that Hillbilly was overpowered. Then again, I also complained that Wraith was OP when I first started. So I had the typical newbie mentality.

Moonwalk at pallets with no LoS blockers.
Hide in lockers to avoid BBQ all the time (and I wasn't even playing Dwight).

Facecamped as Nurse, because she was my first killer I played as.

Ran to corners, or other far off areas to hide and heal. Especially when I got Self Care on Claudette.
Didn't help in my first ever game, though, where I literally got face-camped out by a Legion. Second one wasn't much better, where I got slugged as one of two remaining survivors. No hatch, so I just crawled until I died. And I was playing Jake. I moved to Dwight pretty soon after that round.

Hit hooked people, thinking it'd make them die faster.

As a killer : running everywhere to find survivors, not understanding it was better to patrol gens...
As a survivor : fast vaulting when not in chase, cause I didn't know the killer was notified :(

I'd attempt to escape the hook as survivor because I didn't know it was optional. It's still not entirely clear to new survivors that it's optional either to be fair.

I played Friday the 13th before I played this game, so I assumed I made noise notifications of my location to the killer if I ran (as if every killer ran spies from the shadows). So I just walked everywhere.

You can often make them die faster if you just stand there hitting them. Sometimes just standing there without hitting them is sufficient.
However, you might get a rather salty message afterwards.

I remember my first game. I heard the Huntress lullaby and hid in a locker for most of the game, didn’t realize how crows worked haha

I didn't realise that lunge was a feature so I'd just run up to survivors and hit them with a normal attack

I would leave a gen and go hide in a corner whenever I'd hear the beginnings of a TR. Sit there for like 10-20 seconds looking around, then find a competely different gen to work on because "The Killer knew I was at the other one". It did not work out very well on my end usually, especially since I didn't know how scratchmarks worked so I ran around a good bit trying to figure out how the Killer found me so easily.

I used to think you needed a medkit to heal people. I'm sure I made a lot of people mad in my early days. :3
I also didn't know skill checks made noise and was basically playing with a 5 stack lullaby at all times. I was so focused on the middle of the screen the noise the skill checks made didn't register to me at all.

Oh man, I loved using Iron Grasp when I first started. I thought the wiggling was so annoying. Took me a while to get used to playing without it.
When I first started playing, one dumb thing I would do was equip NOED on Leatherface (because I wanted BBQ but couldn't chainsaw for crap) to try to make sure I was able to use all of the event hooks (Hallowed Blight 2018, that's what brought me to DbD). Yeah, I was so bad I needed that safety net. I also tried to play nice and would back off when I saw survivors on the flowers, but they rarely returned the favor and let me get the event hook... it made me sad. :*( Ah, I was so naive.
Also, for a long time I didn't understand how survivors knew to get off gens playing against Spirit. I couldn't really hear the whoosh sound through my TV speakers. Which leads into another stupid thing... for a good while I played without headphones. Holy crap, I didn't realize the difference it would make. Found out I wasn't even able to hear the Terror Radius well through the speakers. What a discovery that was.

I first saw Hillbilly attacks as survivor, with that swing that downed everyone. After that playing Billy. Sprinting around the first few times seeing the "chainsaw swing" at the end of the sprint. Then, when I had the chance to down a survivor, I let go of M2 right the moment I could hit, to start the deadly swing animation and getting mad how that could not have hit

I used to get into lockers fast when the killer was in the area (didn't know it notified him) and always got surprised that he found me all the time.

Committing to every chase.
It wasn't until my second week of regular play that I would see a survivor all in bright colors, waving and t-bagging at me, and think, "Hey, wait a minute..."
I was so proud of myself when I first realized I could just ignore the god loopers and pick off their less skilled teammates while they sat on gens.

hears litterally a heartbeat
"THE KILLER KNOWS WHERE I AM! QUICK RUN AND HIDE INSIDE A LOCKER"
"yo ######### how did he know I am inside the locker?!freaking op killers"

Teabagging lol when I started I didn't know it would annoy some people into tunneling and camping me lol I just thought it looked funny, wasnt doing it to annoy anyone, but yeah got me screwed alot when starting lol

Haha I remember going up against some noobs like that when I started on killer 😂 I just hear them fast jump into locker, and I'm like mmm are you dumb, and then end game I'm like oh your rank 20 lol

I use to be terrified of playing against Billy lol I was so unaware of my surroundings at the time, I never knew where to run to.

When i first started playing the game it was a few weeks after launch when the game was really really terrible. Bloodlust didn't exist and windows didn't close after 3 vaults. So window loops were literal infinites. I didn't really do anything dumb when i first started because I immediately quit when the devs didn't say anything about fixing the windows infinites at the time. Came back shortly after pig launch and had already watched streams and stuff so i knew the basics. My only mistakes then was just being bad and not understanding how to loop well or how to play chases as killer

Getting mad when some "t-bagged" me... It literally does nothing and was stupid of me to get annoyed by it.

Running around everywhere, not realizing it left scratch marks. I thought Scratch Marks were something that was left behind by injured survivors. I used to think what was the point of just walking?
All it took was one game with Nancy using Fixated to realize that running left scratch marks.

Ran shadowborn on literally every single killer. The default FOV literally made me sick to my stomach at first (why there's no FOV options in the first place is baffling, because honestly how much of an advantage would it give you in a casual game like DbD to increase FOV by an extra 15 degrees). Now I only use it on Nurse and Billy.

I had no idea of how the red stain or Terror radius music worked in the Game so I tried to Play Stealthy and Spooky every game. Lol I was thinking to myself how did they know 😂😂 lmao

Act like I knew what was up before learning the game and expecting it to be easy. Not wanting to look into killers to understand them.
Basically things that new players dont have to worry about now because learning the game isnt as important as paying for easy fun.

Avoiding falling from really high places because it would injure you.
Like if you fell out of the coal tower, you’d lose a health state.

I use to take the same exact pathing survivors took while chasing after them. If they vaulted a window, im going through that window even if theres a perfectly good door right next to it.
