Did you get a D/C penalty for "dedicated servers not responding" error?
I received a penalty due to DBD's server errors, I wonder how many others are experiencing this. I don't d/c very often, maybe once every 3 months? However, the "dedicated server not responding" happens fairly frequently. No, it's nothing on my end as my husband can be in the same match on his Xbox console (I'm on PC…

Killer bugfixes need to be priortized more.
For lots of reasons, I think bugfixing killers should be a higher priority than it is right now. Firstly, because some killers just feel SO rough with the bugs that plague them. Houndmaster is a great example - but various snug bugs continue to make her feel really awkward to play, even though she's better than her release…

Gen speed + killer nerfs
I know this keeps getting brought up and it's obviously for a good reason, I just ran a game, two people had only one gen speed perk each no toolboxes, the perk that gives 6% boost to gen repair, they finished a generator per minute, within 5 minutes all gens were done, keep in mind I'm running Oni, arguably the fastest…

NEW KILLER CONCEPT (PLEASE BEHAVIOUR)
New Killer Concept: The Metamorphosis The Metamorphosis is a psychological horror Killer, capable of infiltrating Survivor groups by mimicking their physical appearance. A victim of clandestine laboratory experiments, she punishes trust and rewards careful observation, creating a constant state of paranoia within the…

An option to abandon matches earlier than the current one
One of the most frustrating aspects of this game is watching yourself losing for 10 minutes. Unlike other games, where the round or the match is just over in 2-3 minutes, losing in DBD can drag for a good amount of time. If the killer has already 6-8 hook stages or 2 kills and there is not more than 1 gen done, people…

No new cosmetics from Vee for the 5 months
Vee has gotten no fully new cosmetics since her release All she has in the past 5 months are two event shirts that are limited time, and two shirts of hellfire and iron maiden, and that was it She also didn't even get casting of frank stone murder mill shirts unlike Taurie and Orela who did end up getting the torso…

Deerstalker dead.
I came back to DBD after a long break and they needed my deerstalker. Why? This hurts my Oni load out and just makes slugging last long so I can't hook quickly. This is a really rough change does anyone know why and when they did this?

Will Featured Maps 🗺️ return?
Recently, DBD tested a "Featured Maps" server that guaranteed a specific map for 3 days on a separate server. The map would rotate to another featured map for 3 days. As someone who loved the old Map Offerings, I thought this was a great idea to satisfy both those who wanted to play on a specific map and those who hate Map…

Trickster Nerfwork
The upcoming rework for Trickster feels like 20% actual rework and 80% nerf. 36 blades and slower movement speed in THIS economy? all for looking and sounding cooler?

2 questions concerning Deerstalker
1: Does anyone have a concrete answer on how Deerstalker and Object of Obsession interact with one another? 2: On the wiki is says that Deerstalker only works on survivor aura reading with a set time limit, (No conditional aura reading. ex: Wiretap) but We See You has a set time, but EVERY survivor sees the killer's aura,…

After taking a break..
Just played my first two games. Majorly rusty and got hooked. Ended up going to second stage both games because survivors didn't unhook me in time. Surely after so long being on the hook, we should be able to try and unhook ourselves? What a stupid mechanism. Are they planning on adding a way to self-unhook after X amount…

Dredge improvement ideas
I'm a dredge main myself, and while I enjoy playing him, he can get a bit limited in large loops against efficient teams, plus he's generally considered a below-average strength killer. I've got an idea to make him a lot more fun and boost his "being in multiple places at once" playstyle in a way that doesn't add too much…

Fair play
How is it that survivors get penalized for running around doing nothing, but the killer can get u down and just either stand there or follow u around til u bleed out... It's like holding the game hostage... Because other survivors can't save u without being hit, or worse...

Badham STILL Doesn't Have a Hook in the Basement
I don't know how, after years of people asking for this, there's still no hook spawn in the basement of the main building. I'm tired of survivors just running to the middle of the basement because they know there's no way you can make it to a hook when they go down. The map's already ######### enough for killers as it is.…

Hacker not banned.

Secret project is awesome
I love the design of this perk, the way it has synergy with two distinct play styles. 30 seconds of stealth if you have totem broken AND if you block a gen by any means. I've been using this build on demogorgon. Corrupt, alien instinct, dead man's switch and secret project. You get a lethal persuer-style starting…

Why does Sadako have such a high killrate?
When we get official killrates from BHVR Sadako has always had a decently high number with her usually around the mid 60's in terms of killrate. It is strange because this killer who is often considered a d or f tier killer has a higher official killer rate than Nurse who iirc had around a 44 the last time we got…

Red Hooded Raincoat for Eleven
Hi, I think it would be nice if add Eleven's wet red hooded raincoat. And/or a face-mask for her, just because. ( and would be nice if change her hook-scream to something more tolerable, tbh ) ( and if she could have more voice-lines like reacting to seeing killer the way Alan Wake does etc.) Thanks for listening :)

Stuck on easy anti cheat screen
I tried opening DBD today just to be met with only the EAC screen stuck on initializing and I've now tried just about everything to fix it but nothing seems to be working. Does anybody here know anything I could do? I haven't changed anything on my pc since I last played it last night.

Spirit
Spirit needs at least a partial power recovery speed increase ( half the effect of Rusty Flute, so 20% ) and then adjust all of the passive recharge addons to compensate. Also, some add-ons need changing: • Senko Hanabi ( please don’t make it a status effect effect ) • Mother’s Glasses ( same as above ) • Juniper Bonsai (…

Regarding the Future of "The Skull Merchant"
The Skull Merchant has been through a very rough set of updates and so i thought i would take a crack at a rework concept that focuses on making her more active around the map in order to find her value while still maintaining her core audience: My core idea stems from her very own "style system" but themed around data…

The Legion's HUNK skin overhaul
The hunk skin for the legion is lacking feels overpriced. Much of the community has stated the lacking feel the Hunk skin has. I feel as if the skin were to receive a revamp as not to make it a cosplay but more as Hunk, Like a new Mori to match his iconic neck snap and maybe even new voice lines. Another thing I have seen…

I have a question about the mobile version.
I've been a fan of this game since its early days, but due to personal issues, I wasn't able to play on PC. I recently got back into playing when the mobile version launched. So I wanted to know if there's any chance of a mobile version being relaunched again. I think the mobile version is just as easy to play and as good…

"This Game Genuinely Makes Me Feel Miserable"

Regarding the models of liscensed characters
I personally would like to see an overhaul on some of the games liscensed Characters, particularly ones before 2024. I and probably alot of other people very much enjoy playing as our favourite characters in Dead By Daylight but some of them look quite outdated or inaccurate, some have been overhauled in the past such as:…

Bringing Jack Krauser to DBD
I am doing a re-run on RE4R remaster and I would like to see a legendary skin for the Mastermind ( Albert Wesker).The skin I would like to see is Major Jack Krauser. They have pretty similar powers in the game and It would be really nice. I really like Krauser and it would be a good addition to DBD.

Flashlight Rework Pitch
I'm going to be pretty bold with this one, so I ask that you bear with me and really consider what I'm saying. When it comes to flashlights, the problems I'm aiming to fix aren't that the item is too strong or too weak. In that regard, I actually think flashlights are in a pretty good spot- my issues lay elsewhere. For…

[21+][NA] Looking for chill friends
First time posting here, so I'm giving it a shot. I would love to meet some DBD friends who are around my age (F, 25) and have chill vibes. I've been playing the game for upcoming 3 years, and I play casually. Haven't dwelled into the comp scene so please don't expect me to be perfect. I don't mind what platform you're on,…

BHVR - Please stop changing original designs.
You come up with some AMAZING designs and I mean amazing, truly. I then fall in love with it for you to only make changes that was not even requested for a change. Sadako - Loved her OG design! Creative, unique, fun, sound design is beyond amazing, and then she is changed. Its an awful feeling. Houndmaster - such a fun…

The Onryo & The Pitfalls of Balancing Around Inexperience
At this point, basically all of us can agree that DbD has a problem with successfully onboarding new players. The tutorials that this game does have are very old and only explain the basics of the game. They might be enough to understand simple objectives, but the counterplay to specific Killers is something that can only…

A long essay meant for BHVR studios about DBD.
(This is an essay written on 3/13/2026 I haven't played since Stranger things chapter 2 dropped) Hello, I really do hope that the developers of DBD read this essay, it is meant for them. This might be the last time I'll come back to DBD (hopefully not) and I have a lot to say. I'm a veteran player, and have been here since…

Would you support adding a Dedicated Competitive 1v1 Ranked Mode?
I believe that Dead by Daylight needs a Competitive 1v1 mode with a proper Ranking system. Games like CoD and Overwatch succeed because of their competitive nature. We need an "Unranked" mode for practice and a "Ranked" mode to keep the passion for the game alive and give players a reason to grind and improve. What do you…

Nurse rework?
We all know that nurse is one of if not the best killer in the game and I think that it would be cool to play into her lore a bit and change her power slightly. Similar to the Executioner when a survivor is on death hook you could snatch the survivor’s final breath and make her ability stronger now how? Thats up to the…

A Weirdmageddon in the Fog: Gravity Falls Chapter Idea
Dear BHVR Team, I would love to see a collaboration between Dead by Daylight and Gravity Falls. While it's a cartoon, its lore is filled with cosmic horror and dark mystery that fits the Fog perfectly. Potential Map: The Mystery Shack & Deep Woods The map could be set in the Oregon forest at night. The center of the map…

Killer dynamic audio responses
Say what you will about Chucky's viability, but his dynamic audio responses are hilarious. I'd love to see more killers have responses to things going on in the match. Mind you, they don't all need to be funny (and shouldn't be depending on the killer). https://youtu.be/SaFrDAyLvKs

Dead by Daylight x Grimm – This Crossover Would Be Perfect
I would love to suggest a collaboration between Dead by Daylight and the TV series Grimm. The world of Grimm fits very well with the dark and supernatural atmosphere of the game. There are many interesting characters that could work perfectly in DBD. For example, Nick Burkhardt as a survivor would be amazing, since he is a…

Game overhaul thats needed.
Dbd is suffering heavily. Killers below the wanted threshold and Survivors in long queue times and both sides not having fun. We heavily need an overhaul and bhvr REALLY needs to stop looking at spreadsheets and look at the bigger picture. Without these changes the game is doomed to fail in the near future. So these are…

SBFL and new item description
With the release of the next update, changes to perk descriptions will be introduced, which is great!

I was not able to play the PTB to check new description myself. So,…

Keys and Maps
So Keys and Maps were reworked for the Walking Dead 9.1.0 patch on July 29th 2025 and I feel like they could still use a little more tweaking. I do like that the Keys open Chests now but there is only 3 chests per trial. I also like that there are only 3 Variations of Key, Maps, and Fog Vials each for Uncommon, Common, and…

any time i try playing him, he’s borderline unplayable with the amount of bugs i experience. it’s difficult to secure kills because these bugs make it impossible to do anything. i cant enter hidey-ho mode sometimes, and if i can enter it my hits don’t register even though they should. 💔

Bloodpoint numbers
Why are bloodpoints and auric cells and shard all in minimums of thousands? Why havent they been reduced to lesser numbers by now? For example a medkit costing 2000 bloodpoints instead of just 20 or 200. There was a point in world of warcraft where the numbers were getting so high that people were reaching level 180 and…
