More Exclusive Cosmetics, Why?

PLEASE Lets have a civil talk about this, as many people are genuinely curious and upset over this.

Im not here to bash anyone or put anyone down. Im here to help be a voice for a very large part of the community.

So, as we have all heard the devs say, many times: besides legacy, there will be no more exclusives cosmetics. Shortly after this was first announced long ago, switch got an exclusive trapper skin. ok its just 1 skin, not a huge deal. Now even after the huge debates and devs stating why many times there will be no more exclusives, mobile gets exclusives. Why is this? What has mobile gone through (and switch even) to earn exclusives cosmetics, that PS4/XBox hasnt? This isnt a post 'crying' or complaining that other platforms have exclusives, but looking for an answer as to why.

  • PC Exclusive Cosmetic: Legacy (fairly earned with what they had to go through in the past)
  • Switch Exclusive Cosmetic: Trapper skin
  • Mobile Exclusive Cosmetic: Winter Collection: Outfit for Claudette, Billy, Dwight, and Trapper.
  • Ps4 Exclusive Cosmetic: None
  • Xbox Exclusive Cosmetic: None


PS4/Xbox players/communities APPEAR (not saying they are, but just by going by this small example) that they dont deserve to have their own exclusives cosmetic(s), even if its just a reskin, of say the trapper (blue for ps4/green for xbox) while literally every other platform you can play DBD on has one.


Again, I'd like to state that the community is only looking for an answer as to why.

@Peanits hopefully you can help provide some info before people turn this post into a 'mess' I'll put it lightly lol if not i understand since you guys are about to be on holiday for a while.

    They said they aren't giving everyone the Lunar new year event skins or the Summer BBQ skins because people had to earn them, meanwhile they said all rift items will come to the store after the rift is finished. I don't think anyone should trust what they say.

    The Switch exclusive happened because it was an agreement already made between BHVR and Nintendo before the "no more exclusives from now on" policy was announced. It had to remain exclusive for the same reason that exclusive cosmetics made in agreement with Twitch streamers had to remain so.

    The Mobile exclusive is a totally separate issue. A lot of people get confused about this because they're essentially the same game mechanically and funded by the same studio, but DBD Mobile is a totally separate game developmentally from Dead by Daylight, run by a different team. That's why, for example, there is a separate Twitter account for DBD Mobile, and there's no section for the mobile game on this forum, and Mobile have their own separate website with an independent Help Center. So nothing that the DBD devs say or do has any bearing on DBD Mobile, and vice versa, and that applies to policies around exclusive cosmetics as well.
