What's an unconventional/interesting killer power you want?

I think a killer with some kind of flight ability would be really cool.

  • i want a hacker killer with a drone, who is good at finding and tracking survivors.


    It'd basically be like crypto from apex legends and sombra and overwatch. But they are a murderer.

    I want a killer that can shapeshift into survivors like "The Thing" but that wouldnt work in dbd. Headsets would completely counter it.

  • So all i would have to do is buy feng min's gameplay expo outfit and i would be safe?

    I like that, kinda similar to an idea I have of a misinformation Killer, like a mix between Hag and Doctor, where there's no clear indication you've stepped into range of a trap aside from stuff like fading and growing heartbeats, redstains appearing are visions of the killer in the distance and glimpses of fellow survivors around you. Of course a killer like that would need more to their power to be viable, but I think that as a base for their kit would be awesome.

    A demon killer that can possess survivors to prevent skill checks and a toggle between seeing through the survivor's eyes and as themselves to make hits. Survivors could go bless themselves, which would give killer the ability to teleport to them upon completion. It could work similar to pinhead in there being a way to possess one survivor directly or a passive way like a book that needs to be found and read an incantation in a certain amount of time or all survivors become possessed. It would be good for gaining info and a good slowdown mechanic, but would not be overly strong in 1v1

    A killer that can bond survivors together, say if one survivor becomes injured, the other one does as well.

    I'd love to see a straight-up mage. With various elemental spells they can cycle through, doing different things, whilst still drawing from the same passively regenerating mana resource.

    I've made a couple of Killer Concepts with super cool powers I want to see in game- a blind Killer whose got a wide-spread Demo lunge and lots of tracking built-in, an Egyptian pharaoh who travels between lockers and a radioactive Killer that messes with Survivor's movement and makes them see all kinds of hallucinations (Auras, notifications, TR, etc.).

    Links are down below, you can scroll to the power and anything else you're interested in.

    Something that can teleport through lockers and chests. It could set wards on lockers/chests to see survivor auras when they are near.

    Possibly pull survivors into lockers for a short time into lockers to trap them until another survivor frees them or that short time is reached.

    killer could also hide in lockers and chests after teleporting or just as an action.

    A scarecrow killer.

    Specifically a killer whose power uses crows. I wouldn't know in what way. But I would love crows, which are a basic element in the game, to be used more.

    There are literally 2 perks that use/influence crows. I think that could be more!

    I actually wrote a little concept for a crow power if you're interested!

    A killer with a grapple hook that can latch onto the environment and pull themselves toward whatever they please.
