The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Drone buff

I understand that her drones indeed needed to be changed, but too many of her add ons rely on survivors messing up and getting clawtraps on them, against the experienced you'll be lucky to get a trap on anyone.


Just a side note, if you're only going to reply to spew hatred about Skull Merchant, I don't care about your opinion of her.

    no buffs but I hope they don't nerf her.... based off kill-rates due to d/c.

    Skull merchants drones have one function slow the game down. Place the drones in high traffic zones and then patrol. They wont win the game but allow you to slow the game down.

    Skull Merchants that use her drones to slow the game down don't understand how her power works.

    Her kill rates aren't based on bot kills or dcs, it's mostly the sooks that throw on hook.


    Her add ons are too reliant on survivors getting claw traps which they usually never do.

    I find shes strong at the moment as the stealth builds she can pull off are quite deadly. I just hope someday they can rework things on this killer so that people can stop hating the killer more than anything else that exists in the game. When she came out i got all her cosmetics and during the anniversary i got over 250 cakes. Still has 200 because i feel like im not allowed to play her. And the majority that do play her clearly couldnt care less about the survivors opinions and often tunnel n camp without a care either and thats ruining her image even further

    The only things I'd change with SM is to remove "stealth mode" from drones, so they're always spinning at full rotation speed and with visible scanlines, and make it so hacking a drone removes a stack of Lock On.

    That would make her easier and more straightforward to play against for beginners, without making her that much weaker against good survivors that don't give her free scans.

    In fact she might be a little stronger when used in high skill matches because you can better rotate drones to get scans in chase if they're always deployed in active mode.

    I agree that too many addons depend on giving survivors claw traps though.

    If it makes you feel any better, while not exactly liked, many people dislike the Anti-3-gen system (or rather it's nasty side-effects on certain Killers, perks and playstyles. The system would be perfect if it only kicked-in during the last gen) just as much or even more than New Skull Merchant.
