Let’s talk about PC killer advantage
I play console. PS5. I have no latency issues as I am 1G wired. However In cross plat you can tell a PC killer pretty well. Huntress never misses for example. Killers are barely if at all effected by even aggressive wiggling. Obvious UI and mods as well as possible cheats being used. I get that cross plat is designed to shorten the queue but yeaaah. Big difference in skill between a 1 killer on console and PC being the console killer especially cross plat certainly is more skilled. For the salty PC killer mains, truth, it hurts sometimes.

Only killlers affected are slinger and huntress and nurse depending on frame rate

i can nearly always call when a killer will be console by how bad or tunnel-y they play...console killers are not better lol.

Yes. Console Killers (especially on PS4 and Xbox One) are at a huge disadvantage.
Low FPS, constant freezing, stuttering ect all make the experience worse than PC.

Then turn off cross play

Sounds like the only complaint you have is that PC killers are on average better than console and you need to improve your gameplay :)
If you have a PS5 and you can't use FPS as an excuse, at least.

PC Huntresses miss all the time.
If you are getting hit all the time it means you don't know how to verse her. Learn how to dodge and make yourself a harder target, and for goodness sake look at the killer while you are running away.
I won't deny PC killers have a huge advantage -- PC Master Race yada yada -- but the stuff you are talking about aren't advantages because of PC.

This is a garbage claim.
Plenty of Red Rank Killers are on console. SpookNJukes runs this game on his PS4 without any issues and I see him nail Gunslinger shot after Gunslinger shot.
Quit blaming your equipment.

There several years behind in play and experience if you looked on your gameplay two years ago would you or would you not cringe?

Nonsense, pc killers have the advantage of mouse and keyboard, thats all. This affects how quickly and accurately you can aim, and keep flick. Whoever you're talking about might be a great slinger, but he would be much better if he put the same hours in on pc. It's just a fact. Huntress, hillbilly, slinger, blight, nurse, oni, and to a lesser extent victor and Bubba all suffer this way. You just cannot turn a joystick as quickly or accurately as you can move a mouse.

Well yes the frame rate, and latency are certainly factors but so are mods and UI which coincidentally few are commenting. What about those cross hairs? How come I can wiggle the heck of a killer that doesn’t have one of the counter wiggle perks on console but PC forget about it. Obvious. Thus why any tourney should be distinguished between consoles and PC. PC has massive advantages in cross plat. PS5 is just a bargain gaming PC. $700 you can build a PC that will blow away the PS5. The concern here more the mods, UIs/mods, and yes cheats being used on PC.

And yet all these Red Rank Console Killers exist despite this claim of yours that is a "fact".

I would guess the wiggling thing is another aspect of using Keyboard. It's easier to hold down W and flip flop between holding A or D to resist the wiggling than it is to accurately move your thumbstick to resist it. I don't know that for sure, but that wouldn't surprise me.
As for the rest... most "mods" I've seen are merely swapping perk icons and nothing more, which the Devs are actually fine with. I seriously doubt there are as many PC players cheating as you seem to be implying.
1 -
ALL killers are affected if there's bad frame rate, which is an ever-present feature of the console ports.
5 -
So our que times and matchmaking will be even worse. Great solution.

How would crosshairs help Huntress? Her hatchets arc!

PC isn't the advantage. Keyboard + mouse is. Yeah there's some exceptional players who can dominate with controller but for most players, nothing can beat precision of a mouse.
1 -
well, it depends on how long of a range we're throwing. at a close enough range, it may as well be a straight line. but even then, there's nothing stopping a console player from putting a piece of tape over their screen.

Are you serious, dude?
Of course there's red rank killers on console. But we get robbed of easy hits by BS aim dressing, 360 exploits, and fps drops all the time. I couldn't play Doctor for like a year because his fps issues were so bad. We can and will blame our equipment, because mouse and keyboard are better than controller to begin with, and we also have to deal with BHVR's ineptitude with making a decent console port. For example, me rapidly zooming in and out of Deathslinger's sights will cause bad fps. It's the smallest of things, even just playing on Midwich or Lerys, that causes the fps to drop. We're asking for 60 fps. BHVR can't even give us 30! Whatever PS4 SpookNJukes has must be godlike, either because it's a PS4 pro or he tampered with it. There is no other way you're playing an optimized version of this game on base PS4. Mine doesn't even sound like a jet engine and DBD still runs poorly. The MAIN MENU SCREEN, where it says press X, has FPS DROPS when I press X. That's when you know you're dealing with a ######### console port. GG, devs.

You can't on console.

DbD should have stayed a PC exclusive imo.
0 -
Mods are illegal except for the icon mods, and their is only one UI in the game.
If you can wiggle out of a killer's grasp on console the killers on console must be a sad lot.

Pc master race, get a pc or turn off cross play, issue solved
1 -
Here he is playing on a PS4 without issues. You tell me. He even toggles to view his PSN messages.
1 -
Yes you can
3 -
Well yeah PC has an advantage but if you think it puts you at that great of a disadvantage it makes gameplay least enjoyable then turn it off.
1 -
If you can blame your equipment, you can blame yourself for buying crap equipment. Solution: buy better equipment.
3 -
😂 Stop. You lost me at....”Aggressive wiggling.” Then you complain about “mods“ and “possible cheats.” Stop it.
It is easier to play huntress/nurse/slinger on PC. So, you will find more players that can play those killers well. It doesn’t mean that PC is better than console. It doesn’t mean that console is better than PC. It takes a little more practice on console (blinking, for example, requires being much more precise on a controller). But that doesn’t really equate to skill.
ive played against very good console and PC killers. Whoever started this console PC thing is just dumb. The ONLY time this applies is on Switch (always, try playing on 15-22 fps, wear tapping for your movement like an old arcade game is how you move effectively) and last gen base consoles, at certain moments.
None of that has to do with skill. The devs branched out to consoles, with no idea on how to optimize a game for console. The Switch release was a pure money grab. A lot of their moves are related to that btw.

Next gen runs smooth
1 -
Well to be fair, they have no idea how to optimize, period. For a game with such simple graphics, small maps and low actor count this game performs terribly. Graphics aren't as good as, say, Shadow of Mordor (which came out about a year earlier I think) in terms of effects, lighting, geometry, and size but Shadow of Mordor on Ultra pushes 120 fps on my computer, this game can only manage about 90fps on Medium.
And lol at "Aggressive Wiggling" it is not harder to wiggle on gamepad than on PC.
3 -
Dude,that's a PS5 lmao
3 -
Well duh,of course a 5 year old game runs great on a next gen console.
But not everybody has the money or opportunity to buy one
2 -
Oh yeah I know. But as for old gen it’s either bhvr want to focus on next gen or they physically can’t make old gen run well
2 -
I don't get how they are unable to AT LEAST fix the major FPS drops (e.g getting bloodlust 1,getting hit by noed/sloppy/freddy etc.) after all this time.It's just really pathetic at this point.
I just wish they would finally tell us what's going on with optimization.
Seems like we need another famous twitter guy to finally get an answer :(

Which console doesnt allow you to turn crossplay off? On PS4 you can.
1 -
I hope you realize how stupid this argument sounds. Of course people with better tools are going to have an advantage over people with trash tools. Some people with bad tools being better than some people with good tools does not disprove the advantage that they have.
3 -
They have better fps...
0 -
He's on a PS5 not a PS4...
On PS4 DBD runs at like 20-25FPS average.
3 -
MW2019 is 4x the size of DBD with heavy graphics and still can manage to run at 45+FPS on PS4.
It's DBD itself being shittily optimized, not his equipment being bad.
3 -
Damn the 360° i swear it's harder to handle with controler.
0 -
That's a great suggestion! Until you realise that you can only be matched with players who also have crossplay turned off.
2 -
Lots of games are easier to play on PC than console. This is one of them. If you don’t like it then don’t play or turn off crossplay
1 -
Just disable it jeez
0 -
PC is for normal players, console is for hardcore gamers. Bring console Blight against PC SWFs for very hard mode 😀
2 -
And make that poor unfortunate Blight play on a corn map as well....
0 -
Next time think twice before getting a ps5, they haven't optimized the game at all last years for ps4
0 -
You're not wrong. About half the killers are worse on console. The obvious Huntress and Deathslinger who need precision at range. Blight, Oni, and possibly Billy who can turn sharper and land hits that a console player can't. Nurse. And then a few others who have a small advantage.
1 -
Getting to rank 1 is absolutely nothing. How many hours you got in this game like 50? This is like a joke lol. Ive never heard someone argue that m and k is not a huge advantage for killers. Another point you're wrong on is hardware, the frame drops on ps4 and Xbox are horrendous, you can swing at a survivor and miss because of graphical delay. Ps5 does not have this issue.

Lol. Any killer is affected on console.

Just don’t play the game then? Lol

"Huntress never misses for example."
Huntress is honestly an unfair killer in DBD to verse. She was fine in 2016 when survivors were much much much muuuuuch stronger in so many ways from perks to bigger maps with many more pallets and perks were much better. Toolboxes could instantly repair a gen when she was released.
Now it is the opposite and the coin has flipped, killer perks are at so many times stronger than survivor perks, most of the killers have been massively overbuffed as well. Huntress has remained exactly the same and now a good Huntress can't be defeated. Hitboxes are gigantic and with dedicated survivors you can't dodge them. Anyone on here that says you can counterplay a huntress has never played against a good one. They've learned the hitboxes and you can't even hide behind a barrel because they know that razor thin blanket of air above they can throw over and it magically hits your head. It is so bad I don't try any more because there is nothing you can do.
If all of her advantages are not enough, she has the Bubba advantage in which you can't save with her. She has no cooldown after a hatchet throw so she can instantly M1. That is still not all, she now still has 4 more hatchets to down anyone she wants in close proximity easily 2 hits to bypass borrowed time.
If that is still not overpowered enough, she has an addon that turns her into a loaded shotgun. It blows my mind how the devs have not touched this killer.
