Streamer charm codes...😢🍬
So I can watch/listen to Streamers while playing DbD to until they give a code. Instantly abandoned my team and hurry to store to enter code....only to have it be invalid cause there are only 10 uses and I am on console.
Or hold Switch open to 'redeem code' in store...carry it around as well as device to hear streamer..then hear code and rush to enter hoping all the trouble was worth it and I am one of the magic 10..
Ugh, you guys! Ugh.

Even if you open the redeem code menu and stay there, and then immediately start to enter the code, I can bet that there will be faster people than you who are doing the same. And I'm talking about PC, you can imagine the console players be like... yikes.
I don't even want to try tbh. I'm not into charms and I don't collect them, but if I recollect they said they won't do exclusives to streamers anymore. Well... 😅Their decisions lately really upset me to say the least.

10?!?! This is ridiculous
23 -
It's embarrassing.
20 -
I can just hope the whole charm-thing is a joke. I'm super upset bcs of it. "No more exclusives" they said, while giving out all past event cosmetics for free. It's just a big slap in the face.
18 -
This whole 'event' is a joke. A very bad, unfunny, stupid joke 🙄You shouldn't be surprised at this point.
23 -
I always try to stay positive. But yea, i probably shouldn't be surprised. Sadly.
5 -
Im very sad about that too. They promised us not to do this „exclusive key“ again but they did 😭 no chance on console
11 -
marketing is a wonderful thing, i see some streamer that were critic of the game, now saying nothing about the event , saying it's fine ect...
sellout all of them
15 -
So i guess they gonna put this charms on store ? 100 auric cells, seems a good price BHVR.
2 -
I kinda doubt they will put it on the shop. Ig it will stay "rare" just like King said himself
2 -
Don't bother DC'ing. There always are a few dozen people already waiting for the code with the redeem code tab in the store opened.
If you seriously want to get a code you need to open the tab and wait there preferably knowing exactly when and where it will appear. Then the instant it appears you need to copy it, Alt+Tab, paste and press Enter. All of that should take like 3-5 seconds or it might be too late. (If there is no option to copy-paste it's around 10-30 seconds depending on the length of a code)

Sure is getting a lot of traffic to the twitch streamers that spend a lot of time talking about how great this halloween event is🧐.
10 -
never understood this tactic of giving out codes or content wouldn't you want people playing your game not watching it?
5 -
Is this for the Dwight crow charm?
1 -
Unfortunately yes.
7 -
I would say "I expected them to learn from the Twitter event" but honestly this doesn't surprise me.
11 -
Naw knowing them it will be minimum 500 auric cells
2 -
But if they actually play the game they might see how greedy, lazy and lackluster the event is! Best keep them at a distance ^_-
1 -
They just don't care at all anymore.The devs or whoever is in charge of all those decisions is dead to me.It's all just going downhill from here.Shame for a game that has so much potential.
Also why should you have great content as a streamer to get views if you can just pressure people with Fear of missing out am i right?
9 -
This just shows that they are LIARS. NO MORE EXCLUSIVES! They should be embarrassed by this "event" and patch but they won't be because they continue to do this and people continue to not only white knight for them but continue to buy stuff. A Horror game with no actual Halloween Event. Fortnite a god awful game has a stronger Halloween presence.
14 -
Just give us the code for every, devs, c'mon.
9 -
They want you to visit these Fog Whisperer streamers (Cosmetic Models) because these Cosmetic Models are paid in auric cells to model the latest and newest cosmetics in the store and rift hopefully enticing you to buy it.
All for the slight CHANCE of winning a charm.
2 -
It's downright pathetic.
Man,even the Overwatch event is better than this and they just recycled the same event for the 4th time
11 -
My son plays that as well as fortnite. He was showing me all the stuff. I bought him a $100 vbuck pack for Fortnite.
5 -
Money well spent,honestly lol
Everyone hates Fortnite but at least this game works and has actual events :]
3 -
And exactly how would console do this?
1 -
No idea really. I guess devs didn't think about consoles when they came with the idea of limited codes.
Your best chance is if the codes are not copy pasteable and everyone needs to input manually. And even then a keyboard will have an advantage.
2 -
As a console player I'm not even going to attempt this...
People with keyboards could probably write books in the time I try to type a word on controller. xp

I did manage to get the dwightcrow charm on console but my god do you have to have super fast reflexes and hands. It's cool to have but the trouble wasn't truthfully worth it. Since there aren't any console exclusive codes to be given out you have to be one of the very few and very lucky ones to get the dwightcrow charm. This event is a joke not gonna lie.
2 -
They should have done each code works for 10 minutes instead of 10 uses.
If your on console this charm is pretty much impossible to get unless you have a friend thats a fog whisper.
6 -
Or you watch a streamer that is giving console players a fair chance, like Paulie or I read Streamdad too? I dunno bout that, but Paulie tried his best with giving console players the time to enter the code and a fair chance. Sadly most other streamers I watched didn't care too much.
1 -
I feel clueless but what past cosmetics did they give out for free? I am on console and cannot find anything new in my stuff. I know I am dumb but that is why I am asking is because I think I missed the list of stuff they gave us? I hope this is not coming off rude because I do not mean it that way and I genuinely am curious what we got so I can look for it. <(^.^)> TY for any help or info.
1 -
I watched a couple streamers today who also posted the first part of the code and then waited a bit to post the last two characters. They didn't have many viewers but were still trying to give console players a fair chance, and that was like right after Paulie did his thing, so it's spreading and some of the streamers are trying.
Also, it was kind of amusing to watch Paulie take ten minutes to type the code in that first time.
1 -
coming from PC and also have gotten the charm aswell, I'm disappointed they didn't consider console alot more.
they should've dedicated half the codes to console only. so 1 code for PC and 1 code for console displayed at the sametime on the stream giving the fair chance for both platforms to enter. it shouldn't have just been 1 code for all.
1 -
I watched the kings youtube both videos i tried 3 codes from within minutes of him posting them. Then went to his stream he started after uploading the videos, tried another 2 codes still nothing.
Got back on later tonight and watched oh tofu stream and he put 10 codes up at one time with the last 2 letters blocked out to give console players a fair chance, and then like 3 minutes later he released the last 2 letters to all 10 codes at the same time.
I mean i literally had the code typed in on my xbox watching the stream on my phone i couldnt have been any faster if i wanted to. I even got lucky and the last 2 letters to my code were 88 so LITERALLY couldnt have been any faster.
To much work for a charm that i cant even use on the survivor its for because its killer only plus who wants to spend hours watching other people play the game in hopes of obtaining a cosmetic.
Why cant i just play dbd and earn it? Or even the good ole dbd way of pay to play since every 3 months you gotta spend another 10 bucks on a dlc and another 10 on a rift.
Tired of BHVR showing up to the party with no lube.

I got mine from a streamer that did it pretty fair, even console players had good chances to get one and I saw a few console players confirming in chat that they got one.
The streamer gave enough time for me to open steam, launch the game and even then I still had enough time. I would not play while watching a stream if you want the charm.
However, I like watching streams from time to time while I'm doing other stuff, so I don't had an issue with the FogWhisperers giving the codes away, since I still watch them anyway. It depends how the streamers do the giveaway, but as I stated there's a way to make it fair for players of all platforms.
1 -
charms are useless decorations who cares
0 -
They should have done this as a twitch drop. Have it as a guaranteed drop for anyone who watched X hours of a fog whisperers stream.
2 -
So we have to choose between playing the game and watching others play the game, so we get a tiny chance to get the charm.
Do they not want us to play their game?
3 -
I prepared redeem page and I got my roommate read me the letters so I wouldn't lose seconds to read them myself, and guess what still nothing. I don't know who wins them, seems impossible to me. Never trying that again.
2 -
For what it's worth, I'm ok with the lack of Serums for Cosmetics and missing side objectives, but the whole "watch streamers for a chance to get your event awards" is extremely frustrating and not cool.
Big.Fat.Ooof.
1 -
This event sucks... period.
3 -
I'm a PC player, and even having the redeem code window up and watching streamers that hide last few characters of code for several minutes to give console players a chance I'm still not fast enough to be able to get it. It's insane how freaking quick those "10 uses" are gone....
1 -
That's what I keep saying! It makes no sense.
I mean, people can either watch the streamers and sit with the store open waiting to enter a code, or they can play the game. They can't do both. And since the charms are limited while playing the game in general is not, there's no incentive to play the game over trying for the charm. It's like BHVR doesn't want people playing the game. What good is a DbD event that only has survivor mains playing while everyone else is glued to Twitch streams?
(Yes, this is a bit of hyperbole, not every person who plays killer cares about the charm, but you get my meaning. This code mess encourages the opposite of what BHVR should want from its playerbase.)
2 -
I wonder WHY they thought that this is a good idea.
2 -
This is a really terrible way to do things, especially for an event.
2 -
The charm code is so pc biased, if you're on console you might as well just have ignored it.
And people wonder why I say bhvr doesn't give a ######### about console players.
1 -
I sub to 4 streamers, I play on PS4 , by the time I write it down from tv, switch to ps4 and enter code I have never gotten it redeemed....this really is not a good feeling event....
0 -
I agree that it’s not fair how they did codes but I also feel really bad for streamers who BHVR put in a really ######### spot with this. The few streams I have watched before I got the charm just seemed over it with people trolling and asking over and over again for charm codes.
