new killer ideas (submit yours in the comments

Hi guys, this is just a quick discussion on what killers you would like to see in dead by daylight :D

You can write your ideas in the comments and react to others their ideas aswell :D

I personnaly want a Xenomorph (alien) in dbd, cuz if a demogorgon can get in, he can aswell :)

I'm gonna describe his powers aswell, you can do it too if you want:

Power: Xenological bio

So what this does, xenomorph is very stealthy when he is alone (this is not the case with multiple) and can appear at any second from any direction if you are not carefull.

Now this sounds like ghostface, i know, but hear me out.

Xenomorph actually has potential of jumpscaring people: what i mean by that is that he waits somewhere and "jumps" right at them.

So, with the details for ingame, xenomorph can latch onto walls (and ceilings if possible) and has to stay there, because moving on walls seems kinda unfair to me in dbd and also hard to program.

Now i'm not saying that he has to stay there all the time, no, her finds a victim, tries to hide from him, and proceeds to pounce on him. And do not worry just yet survivors, you do not have the exposed status effect :)

So, the procedure of doing this is gonna be as such... find survivor, press the button to active your special ability and you gain the undetectable status effect, hold it and the aura of the survivor will be shown to you, and now two options: 1. the survivor wanders your way and you punce him with the attack button. or 2. he/she wanders off and you let go of your special to move on.

Now this can also be done with gens: if survivors are working on a gen and you decide to show up, they move away, correct? Now, you can sit somewhere to hide from them, they come back and you strike them with your stealthy little xeno hands >:D

So, that was the killer itself, now lets go to his perks (yes i am getting really in to this)

-----------------------------------------------------

Perk #1: Hex: Predatory stealth.

Your predator instincts are kicking in and you approach survivors with as much stealth as possible.

As long as the hex totem remains, your red stain is hidden from survivors, making you very undpredictable.

When the totem is cleansed, this effect persist for 0/4/8 seconds (differs on what prestige you are)

----------------------------------------------------

Perk #2: Unsuspecting prey

The survivors actions have terrible consequences, making you more aware of what you are doing.

When a survivor succesfully stuns you (or twice, tell me in the comments whats more fair), you gain a token.

Every token reduces your terror radius by 4 meters, and the maximum amount of tokens is 2/4/6 (differs on what prestige you are)

Everytime you hook a survivor, you lose 2 tokens.

---------------------------------------------------

Perk #3: (i dont know a perk yet for this one, please let me know in the comments and the lucky one will have it added here :D)

--------------------------------------------------

So, that should be all.

I know i did'nt cover the addons, but i am not doing that, thank you very much XD.

Anyway, i hope everyone else has good ideas, and i hope to see it soon :D

    Okay so this is an idea in progress, but I think it would be REALLY cool.

    My idea is to have a killer that is a werewolf.

    the killer would start off as half man half wolf and his power would be where he howls and completely morphs into a werewolf. He would have increased speed, longer lunge, and other abilities. Obviously the devs would complete the character, but this is the start of an idea. Would be super cool!

    I have a 1 new survivor and 1 new killer, and with a 1 exclusive survivor (Better as Bill) work in progress. I have a Killer work in progress. My art skills are abeit not good lol.


    My killer Idea is 'The Doll'

    A twisted queen Killer, who will use phantom puppets, which they be placed anywhere and they can detect survivors and pursue them when they came closer to it.

    She also have Mini Dolls, they will patrol around the map or hide in random lockers to make ambushes on survivors without getting themselves crushed.

    She Has 3 personal perks: Flesh Cage, Voodoo Curse, and Withering, these perks will prevent survivors being rescued briefly, Reduces their effectiveness, and blocks their aura readings.

    I want a starwars chapter with the Wampa as the killer and maybe a rebel as a survivor I haven't thought of any killer powers or perks or anything but I'm sure you guys can think of something

    My 'The Doomsday' Idea is right under this one im pretty sure. Check it out

  • Dontyodelsohard

    Okay, this is an older post... But I just like to shill for my own ideas whenever possible: so here.

    The synopsis (because it is long and I even add "comment errata") is a killer that can charge up a lantern whose beam reveals survivors' auras (probably should instead be a Killer Instinct or just highlights them making them appear brighter) and allows the killer to either summon a blizzard that slowly freezes objects in its area or alternatively unleash a cone of cold to freeze objects within its limited range.

    Frozen objects need to be cleared of ice and basically all props can be frozen; there are multiple stages of frozen each stage taking longer for survivors to clear the ice from while killers only ever need to take an extra second to interact with an object.

    As an additional benefit, survivors are a bit louder if caught in either the Blizzard or Cone attack.

    I've been making Killer/Chapter concepts on these forums nearly as long as I've played this game, and as I recently came back to the game after a long hiatus, I'm back here too!

    Some recent favorites of mine are:

    • Chapter Concept: Court of Chaos; the Killer of this Chapter is the Harlequin, a stalking-based Killer with the ability to see Survivors across nearly any map clearly, and teleport wherever she can see. Stalking doesn't just provide insta-downs, but a myriad of other benefits that are all sprung on a Survivor at the start of a chase. Her unique perks specialize in forcing actions out of Survivors and causing confusion amongst them. The Survivor, Viola Castro, has perks that specialize in taking protection hits and getting into prime position for a rescue.
    • Chapter Concept: Spin the Chamber; a Chapter with two Killers. The first, the Vulture, is based around rapid movement in a cloak-esque state as well as changing playstyles on the fly with the ability to swap between weapons, all with unique upsides and downsides. His perks keep the pressure on Survivors and allow for strong bursts of progress. The second, the Empress, has a mobility-based power with the ability to traverse the map easily and keep pressure on a Survivor in chase. Her perks are designed to keep Survivors guessing and hinder them through brutal effects.
    • Chapter Concept: Clash of Blades; the Killer, the King, combines a strong and flashy chase power, that demands a Survivor commit or be punished greatly, with a strong game delay ability to block generators consistently throughout the Trial. His perks protect what the King sees as his, and hinder Survivors while he makes progress. The Survivor, Astrid Virtanen, adds deceptive perks that allow for generating fake auras, loud noise notifications, and even appearances.

    Thank you for enabling my shameless plugs ^-^. (There's also a new Chapter I just posted that I'm very proud of, check it out if you wish :D.)

    The Agent

    Power: Glowing Eye

    When in rage of a survivor, press the Action Button to fire a glowing orb at the survivor. Although this orb can damage survivors, it can only go as far as deep wound.

    Powerful Eye:

    When holding down the Action Button for more than 5 seconds, your glowing orb gets powerful and can then pass through more than one survivor.

    ------------------------------------------

    Perk #1: Ghastly Instincts:

    When near a survivor hit them with your primary weapon and get a 2 second haste boost. The next survivor you hit gets the hindred status effect.

    --------------------------------------------

    Perk #2: Hex: Fortune Premises

    When your obsession is hung in the basement, once unhooked, or they unhook themselves; their aura is revealed to you everytime they are working on a generator that has reached 70%. If you kick that generator, it looses 20%. But after you kick it, you get slowed for 10 seconds.

    --------------------------------------------

    Perk #3: Phantom Menace

    If you loose a survivor in chase, the survivor you chased gets the oblivious effect until chased again, or they blow up a generator.

    Looks:

    Black Suit

    Black pants

    Leather Shoes

    Mic piece in ear

    Serious Expression

    Walks with hands behind back

    Red Tie

    (NOT COVERING ADD-ONS)

    Tell me what you think! ¹^¹

    OK so I've been thinking about this and I genuinely believe that it would fit the general theme for dbd whereas "most" of the killers are based off of tales or stories of monsters killing people, well why haven't we added slenderman yet? At first it seems like a weird idea but the possibilities of a killer fashioned after slenderman would be amazing to play. And i plan to convince you as best as possible.

    Firstly the name of the killer. I thought of a name involving pages or paper due to the killers game using a mechanic to find paper notes, the name of the killer is: the note taker. Granted this name isn't the best possible but you can always change it,

    Next the main and secondary power of "the note taker", this would involve a paper based power that would be a quickly placed like a hex from the hag, but instead of notifying the killer of where the trap/paper object was it would give the survivor who tripped up the trap the blindness effect for 30 seconds and as an added bonus, every survivor within 30 meters of the activated trap would be blinded for 15 seconds. And this power would be named blinding paper cut.The name could be changed Caswell due to my poor abilityto think of names.

    The secondary power would be based off of the "pin head's" main power but almost in the reverse form whereas instead of being able to teleport to a box that is being opened, this will instead teleport the survivor within 20 meters of the killer,

    Due to the main power being only meant as a debuff, i wanted to make the secondary able to play off of slendermans ability to "make children disappear" This will be called a "paper weight" where when the killer interacts with a hex totem (making it into a "recall hex"which is different from normal hex totem or boon totem,) this power waits until whenever another survivor interacts with a separate totem. It then teleports the survivor within 20 meters of the killer. However to make this more balanced, the totem will then be revealed to all survivors for 10 seconds. But to play off of the main power, the blindness effect can make it so the survivor cannot see the totem. So these two powers can work simultaneously together. And alike to a normal hex totem, it can be cleansed and then the power is rendered inoperable. This power can be used on exactly 3 totems. If a totem is broken it takes 30 seconds until another totem can be created into a recall totem.

    *the power cannot be used with pentimento tier 5 wherein it blocks all hex totems to make sure that the power isn't infinite under any means.

    **the totem that is made into a recall totem breaks after being cleansed and cannot be reused as it is then permanently broken for the rest of the match.

    ***if the recall totem is not cleansed before the cool down of the secondary power is finished, this power may activate multiple times off of one recall totem without it breaking from use.

    ****this power is separate from other hex abilities and cannot be used with a hex on the same totem. It is activated to form a recall totem through a separate key binding to allow for the option of either a hex totem to be created OR the recall totem.

    Now as for the main attack/slash I wanted to use an attack similar to the demogorgons attack, it is a slash with one hand that includes longfingers and an oddly shaped hand formed alike to the slendermans arms. So as to allow for an introduction to the full possibility of the slenderman being a killer in dead by daylight.

    I understand that this is a very long suggestion and it may seem far-fetched, but I genuinely believe that this could be an amazing addition to the roster of killers available to play. And I would also love to see a map involved with a dark forest that involves long and eerie trees and a middle ground of a school to follow along with the original slenderman game and its spinoffs. And to add, thank you for even reading this long suggestion :D

    I think a backrooms chapter would be awesome, i've even written a chapter for it.

    The name of it is "Chapter Concept: Noclipped".

    Another good idea is gremlins because of the potential they have because if they use the smart gremlin from the second movie they could make him similar to Chucky or just use spike from the first movie and for survivors they could have the guy and his girlfriend

    Another good idea is Candyman because he's a renowned horror movie killer

    I’ll throw my hat into the ring with this one.

    my killer idea is named The Scourged.

    Summary: The Scourged was once to survivor who the entity turned into a disgusting looking killer, and now the only thing that’s driving the former Sadie Jenkins is her desire to be normal again. Power: she is able to shape-shift into one survivor upon stabbing them with a metal stake; the stabbed survivor becomes idolized by her, gaining the deep wound effect, as well as a bunch of other debuffs that will make her harder to loop. She’s completely invisible to any survivor who is not her idol.

    The purpose of this killer is not to confuse survivors, but merely to freak them out.

    A more detailed description as well as character art is put below.
