I know this game isn't a really hardcore horror experience, but which killer(s) do you find scariest to play against as a survivor? (Not just in terms of looks, but also gameplay)

Happy Halloween!

    Any stealth killer in the hands of someone good at jumpscares. Also Dredge's nightfall is pretty disorienting and makes you feel like you could be snuck up on from any direction.

    Nightfall and Dredge.

    I've never played against the Dredge, but I have a feeling he'd be my pick if I had. It must be pretty unnerving to do gens with a locker right behind you...knowing the most evil killer in the game is about to bust out of it and chase you down.

    Myers Tiers 1 / Amanda / Ghostface

    in

    Lery / Raccoon / The Game


    And, in a way: trapper and hag on any map as long as her has a dark floor.

    Hillbilly with that addon that makes his chainsaw silent if you're not in his TR, and Tinkerer. On an open map preferably.

    This got many, many surprised expletives from me the couple of times I saw it !

    Myers. The very knowledge that you could be a second away from a grab, down or mori is enough to make me very edgy around him.

    For me it is a good but laggy Huntress, as I never know what hits latency will allow to connect or not lol

    Myers 100%

    Also Hag if it's the start of the game and I don't yet know it's Hag. I'll run over a trap and s*** myself

    Dredge. Even playing as him gives me the chills sometimes.

    It's the Camper.

    I'm scared of being bored to death.

    Besides jumpscares (usually ghostface) nothing really scary happens in dbd tbh. I would say oni's power is the only thing that still gives that threatening atmosphere.

    Scratched Mirror Myers. Closest thing to an actual horror experience DBD has, imo. Any of the stealth killers can be (jump)scary, but SM Myers, especially on an indoor map, is top of the list.

    Probably Dredge. Nothing in this game has made me scream louder than running away from the killer in pitch black darkness just to have him suddenly burst out of the locker right next to me.

    When I first played this game and didn't look behind me in chase, hearing Leatherface's screeching as he chainsawed behind you getting closer and closer, not knowing if he'll hit you or not was probably the scariest thing for me. So I'd say Bubba.

    Took the words right out of my mouth, stealth & jumpscares. The only thing I would add is Hag when you trigger a trap you weren't expecting.

    Nurse, no killer in the game can finish a chase in 20 seconds with you being unable to do anything. literal domination, nothing can be done unless nurse is terrible at the game.

    Scratched mirror myers is scary almost gave me heart attack once. But in gameplay wise he is weak and easy to loop as long ss you see him. He should receive few buffs like normal lunge and bit faster speed.
