DBD event ideas

I think it would be fun if DBD had an event called Deception where a killer had the ability to take the form of one of the survivors. Perhaps you could even change between the different ones, so you could pick the most effective time to turn into each survivor. As an added bonus, turning into that survivor also let's you see the survivor HUD, so you know as much as survivors do about what's going on. I think the level of paranoia involved going up to a generator, not knowing if the person sitting next to you is another survivor is actually the killer, would be interesting.

Yes, I realize swfs might have a leg up on solo players, but you have to admit the image of them screaming their exact locations constantly through out the entire match is rather entertaining.

I also like the idea of having an event where chests are hidden throughout maps that contain puzzle pieces one needs to assemble to open the exit gate. The killer can ALSO locate the chests and rob them, assembly their own puzzle that will lock the exit gate. If the killer acquires all the pieces, all survivors in the trial are automatically killed by the entity. No hooks. No generators. Winners take all.

    I still think we need a proper sequel to the Scorching Summer BBQ event from 2018.

    I know there was one in 2023, but I've read some generally negative feedback regarding that one. So I think summer events should be given another chance.

    I'd love to see some events testing out new ideas for game objectives. Like replacing gens and gate with locked hatches with hidden key piles around the make that killer can see, or maybe a electronically locked door that needs passcodes from several sources to open.

    I’d like to see an April Fool’s mode where the four Survivors have to hunt the tiny Killer. The Killer can get “hit” like ten times or something. Like an actual Survivor bully simulator.

    I would love to play something like this.

    Edit: Also, what about the game mode where Survivors are first person and the Killer is third person?

    I'd like the idea of a switching role mid-game. No perks, and the Killer is selected randomly. At intervals, all characters change to different characters, and the Killer character is switched.

    It's completely chaotic, but may very well be a lot of fun! It would remove the need to win, because you don't know which side you'll be on anyway, and it acts a bit like asilly mode (maybe be on for as long as "My Little Oni"), but it's just a silly game mode to have fune with.

    The Summer BBQ from 2018 and the one from 2023 were practically identical. The only real difference is how you earned the rewards, and one of them had advertised its cosmetics being exclusive to the event.

    I want a Taco event with tacos spread out on the maps giving both survivors and killers haste when running into them. Gens will have tacos on them and all killer moris will be eating tacos together with survivor but the survivor dies from eating too much and explodes. Behind the exit gates survivors can feast on tacos as a way of celebrating the escape.

    And a Trapper appreciation event would be nice to have for the poster boy. Here survivors will have one personal trap each that only the killer can get stuck in and they can pick it up and place it again just like Trapper can. But be warned the killer can use six perks during this event. Of course you can play any killer you want during this event but watch out for traps!
