Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Wow! This year’s Halloween main event is the Skull Merchant and Felix!

So… how long is the Skull Merchant going to stay locked in the Punishment Cell?
I’ve always loved her, and I’ve been waiting eagerly. Even though she was featured as the main visual for the event, she’s been stuck in the Punishment Cell the whole time. What kind of Halloween is this!
This event should be renamed to something like: “Wow! Skull Merchant! How rare! We escaped with four! GG! Event.”

At the very least, I wish it had come with an update that reverted the scan lines back to two, making the Claw Trap slightly easier to land.

    Since she’s a trap killer, it would be great if her rework at least focused on making that her strength🥰
    But yes! If I’m being picky, I also really love the current Skull Merchant, so I just want a little QOL improvement. She was chosen as the main visual for the event, after all, so I think it’s a perfect opportunity! lol

    Since Myers was also put in the punishment cell during the recent rework, it should help distract him a little from his loneliness.

    Thank you, Myers. Please take good care of her while she’s in the punishment cell💕

    Hopefully they avoid both a dash and keeping her the same.

    Both designs would suck.

    I mean SM would have been the same as she always whas if people didn't abuse here to to fullest the a killer problem they made themselvs yes she was built like it but it was on the player to abuse it so hope she stays were she at for years to come the dont deserve buffs she can stay lock in her cell forever becasue u all know how the low skill 45 minutes matches people were put up with it was not fun for anyone

    I don't really understand why they are leaving it for so long, just radio silence on their end. Though I cope that maybe if they are taking a while to polish things with her that it will turn out better than the myers rework, but I fear that is just pure copium.

    • I think she's the most reworked/nerfed/modified killer in DBD history. It was a huge mistake, and I think the devs are really unhappy with her, even just because of the amount of work she required over time. I'm also sure they had big plans for her skins (and thus sales). She's the only obviously "sexy" killer in the game (as is Trickster), and I'm sure the devs were thinking "she'll be the feng ming of killers."

    Skull Merchant is the Ryze of DBD.
