You should be able to attempt self unhook if you can abandon.
The changes that where made a while back to not allow self unhook has took away player choices when everyone is down, if everyone left in match is slugged you can abandon, but you cant attempt to unhook yourself if it was your first hook. in my opinion if the game is giving the abandon option it should also give the self…

New Licensed Killer Idea
So I was thinking this game could use more anime characters, since we already have Kaneki (The Ghoul). So I figured… why not include Dio Brando? So here’s my concept for Dio. Now let me also say that I have not watched Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, so I’m not the most knowledgeable on Dio’s character, so this is my…

A Small but Impactful Detail Regarding Certain Killers.
Sounds effects. Recently there was (maybe still is, though I think I saw it was fixed in the patch notes) a bug with Pyramid Head that made it so you didnt get a sound effect when successfully hitting somebody with your power. Despite this having absolutely nothing to do with gameplay, this did actually change the way I…

SPLIT THE GAME MODES INTO CASUAL AND RANKED PLSSSS
BHVR why do you not understand that dbd turned in to comp game for a lot of people so if you just split the modes into comp and casual you'r automatically gonna nerf tunneling, camping and slugging simply bc survs will expect it more and try harder in comp. And the casual mode should be way more about learning the game…

Why are these bad faith arguments about tunneling so common?
When I say "bad faith arguments" I mean the people who like making them know these arguments don't make sense to the most basic levels of scrutiny but yet seem to dominate discussions about DBD across social media. Particularly whenever topics of "tunneling" became the center point for everyone to give their opinions.…

Dbd NEEDS to make new/casual players happy to survive long term
This is because dead by daylight is not the kind of game where the average player is going to be some 5k hour pro who plays the game like they're a comp player. The average (read MOST) newer and casual players are what many people in the fandom would call "bad players." People who don't play the game in the smartest way…

Dc matches not counting in stats.

dead hard should be reworked

10 Rarest Achievements (October 2025)
I went through Steam stats and found the 10 rarest achievements in dbd right now. With 288 total in the game, these are the ones barely anyone has unlocked. Not surprised to see Jump Scared (0.2%) at the top — grabbing survivors in the Security Office is insanely rare unless you farm it. Adepts also take up most of the…

Why is there no chat on consoles ??
At the end of each match, there's a small space in the bottom right corner where both survivors and killers can write messages. This feature is currently only available on PC. I wanted to know if there's been any explanation for why this isn't possible, or if there's a possibility it will be implemented on consoles in the…

Something to add to the next Halloween event
So if a survivor is downed in the void...the killer can just slug with no problem. So why not have it be survivors can exit the void even when downed just so it prevents that.

Springtrap Greenville Lighting/Fog Bug
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: The fog on Greenville Square, Freddy Fazbear's, and Fallen Refuge maps increases tenfold after traveling through one of Springtrap's doors, making visibility terrible, to the point of being near unplayable (at least for those with bad eyesight like me). Playing on these maps causes eye fatigue and…

The primary reason most are miserable playing dbd
There are many things in this game that can attribute to the game not being fun on either side, weather it be tunneling, camping, t bagging, taunting, griefing, slugging, bullying etc. But what do all of those have in common? There is a player on the other end, choosing to make another person miserable either as their…

How do we feel about perk removal?
When a perk is very situational, useless and non viable, people often ask for reworks. Of course I support the idea that all perks should be viable and have some use. But I feel like we're in a weird situation right now. Many perks have very similar function as other perks, but are more situational, have stricter…

Wow they actually did it. They made the game more survivor sided
The tunneling, camping and slugging aren"t the only reason why people are quiting the game. Its also because gens are flying way to fast, the meta is stale and repetetive and the reason why killers are tunneling, camping and slugging is because those are strategies to win And IT DOESN"T ALWAYS MEAN THAT KILLERS ARE…

Where is Pig's Bear Trap?
It's been a year, over that. Her model stays the same, yet the RBT is nowhere to be found. What's the big idea?

Any reason why Pig had her RBT removed in the lobby?
Was it just so game breaking that it had to be removed or something? Or is The Pig just remaining the butt of everyone's joke whenever an irrelevant nerf happens? It's a small issue with a big effect on the loyal players of Piggy. Also, I'm hoping there's plans to adjust her RBT ability rather than focus on her Ambush (as…

Why don't people enjoy playing him?
Why don't people enjoy playing him? I've been playing him since the day he came out, and I think he's the only fun killer in DBD. No other killer has appealed to me as much as him, but why don't people like playing him? He has style and a good power (if you're skilled and know how to use it, and don't spam it randomly).

New Mode: Fight Back
Having a way for survivors to fight back and takeout the killer, has been wanted for a very long time, but out of reach. However, with 2v8 play being so popular, I think that a way to remove the killer from the game would also become popular. Survivors can't actually kill the killer, but I think there should be something…

Killer Concept for a Cuckoo Chapter
Honestly I'm doing this to be able to make a concept for Gretchen the survivor in this movie, which I will release next, but this is my idea for the killer in the movie Cuckoo (Homo Cuculidae).

Carryover lobby BUG from 9.1.2--Some players never get 'player wants to join your lobby' requests
DISCLAIMER: I have seen other users report this exact issue for months, often being erroneously told that "this appears to be a technical issue," as if it is not a bug. Let's be clear: This is not a 'technical issue.' This is a bug specific to DBD and results from the 9.1.2 patch. SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: Some, but not all,…

Here is an example of a player feedback survey that's not rigged to be survivor sided
Here is an example of a player feedback survey that's not rigged to be survivor sided. The reason why I'm posting this, is because the official exit surveys were rigged to be survivor sided, and therefore the survey results are invalid. In this survey… Survivor issues AND killer issues are both clearly in the survey…

How exactly killers being able to see where every gen and hook are is not handholding?
I think it's honestly pretty obvious majority of killer players wouldn't last a day as killer if they weren't able to see where every generator is and had to go find them and the survivors working on it manually. Same for finding a hook while carrying a survivor and it's pretty funny how strong Boil Over it's at that.…

Colaboración con "Supernatural"
Creo que una buena implementacion al roster de supervivientes serian Sam y Dean Winchester de la serie del 2005 "Supernatural".

Nurse's tome objectively does not contradict/retcon her base lore
Nurse's entire base lore is not only incredibly barebone and vague to begin with (even prior to being shortened by bhvr to be even more barebone and vague than what it already was), but there is nothing within the tome story that can't be explained or that goes against anything that's already established within the base…

I have to say I really love the job done on this killer. Lol The voice actor sounds so similar to re5 you can barely tell the difference. I especially love when he finds a survivor in a locker and says: "There's no point in hiding."

Random question about general movement
I've played dbd for so long that i just spam the A and D keys while I'm moving. I don't do this in other games. Idk when the habit came but it's been there a long time. Anyone else do the same and have any "answer" as I'm pretty curious on why we do it.

Feedback on Haunted by Daylight
I'm a regular DBD player who was looking to provide feedback on the Haunted by Daylight event. I appreciate the time that was put into developing the event, but unfortunately, I found the event was structured in a frustrating way, particularly for survivors. Event mechanics felt inherently unrewarding (and honestly,…

Is BHVR going to reduce the "Esoteric Hooks" on Part 4 like they did on Part 1 of the Event?
They reduced the "Hook 20 survivors on esoteric hooks" to "4". Now Part 4 wants us to "Hook 40 survivors on esoteric hooks". Is BHVR going to reduce this to "8"? 40 is a lot of just hanging out in the void and trying to farm to make that happen.

Does anyone else get crazy shuddering near the exit gate on console.
Ever sense the Krazue released on live servers i've been getting insane lag when near or in an exit gate I notice it way more on killer compared to survivor, and I was wondering if this was an issue many are facing or just me. I'm also wondering if it's just zbox or if it happens on other consoles too.

Why don't you mention why killer players uninstall the game?
I understand that survivor players want to avoid uninstalling the game. However, killer players must have their own reasons for uninstalling the game. Does this mean that killer players aren't recognized as users? If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to just make all killers bots?
