Voice Communication (SWF) Creates an Unfair Information Advantage – We Need Game Design Solutions
Dead by Daylight was designed around limited survivor communication. In-game we only have gestures and basic interactions. This limitation is clearly part of the tension and asymmetry that defines the game. However, in practice, many survivor groups play as SWF using external voice communication (Discord and similar…

Wesker Changes
I am glad that Wesker is going to be receiving changes to make things about him basekit, similar to Oni, but I ask to PLEASEEEE PLEASEEE Remove that weird buffer between his dashes. It just makes him feel so sluggish to play This twitter post explains it best, https://x.com/Zyrav_/status/2026395189489684854?s=20 at around…

do you think the first is ridiculous because honestly i just give up
he's ridiculously op he comes out the ground which is a guarantee hit. listening to the clock literally does nothing for us. once you get hit with this red stuff around your name there is no way to even get it off of you every killer has a way to get there stuff off of you except him yet behavior doesn't think that's op is…

Badham still needs a rework
Badham already got reworked several times, but it's still the by far the most survivor sided map. The problem with Badham is it's a huge map with very strong loops. The large map size screws over most killers without mobility, and the strong loops waste even more time. I think the buildings having strong loops is fine, but…

Eruption should get a buff.
Eruption is a very overestimated perk. It takes so much time damaging multiple gens if you want to get the maximum value of the perk and still have to down a survivor to just get miserable 10% damage, which is only 9 charges. Most of the time you will damage only one gen because you don't have time to damage multiple gens.…

Request: Please shorten killer animations
In patch 6.1.0 BHVR decided to speed up many animations. These included 10% duration reductions of basic attacks, and basic-breaks for pallets and generators. I think it might be time for you to consider another round of animation duration reductions, including not just the above but also picking up survivors, dropping…

Please give boons some much needed love!!
Ever since circle of healing, boons we’re doomed to be bad. They simply don‘t justify the time spend blessing them and are too niche/bad at the same time. Their radius is too small, too long set up time, too easy to get rid off for killers and too bad effects. Here are some ideas on how to solve their problems. Boons…

The Oni: The Three Shards of Jigoku (New Secondary Power)
Hi everyone, I’ve been thinking about The Oni and how he currently feels a bit limited when not in Blood Fury. I wanted to propose a new secondary power inspired by Japanese folklore to give him more map pressure and unique interactions. Here is my concept for 'The Three Shards of Jigoku'—three unique Yokai spirits that…

How terribly bad this game is balanced
I’ve been playing video games since I could move my fingers. There is absolutely no argument on the planet that could prove your game is well balanced. This is most one sided game I’ve ever played. Not only is the killer unbalanced ,but they are SEVERELY BROKEN. I’ve put countless hours into this game and the ONLY time we…

Request: 120 FPS / 120 Hz Performance Mode for PS5 Pro (and ideally PS5) + fix the cubic skin textur
Hello Behaviour, I wanted to make a suggestion regarding Dead by Daylight on PlayStation, mainly for PS5 Pro. I really think a 120 FPS / 120 Hz Performance Mode would be a great addition for PS5 Pro, and ideally for standard PS5 too if it’s possible. Dead by Daylight is a game where smoothness and responsiveness matter a…

Skull Merchant Rework
In terms of the community stream for the 9.3.0 PTB: If you want to scrap the rework for the Skull Merchant then revert the nerfs she got. You knowingly nerfed her BECAUSE she would be reworked. Its really unfair towards the Skull Merchant players and its getting more andmore obvious that she did not need the nerfs in the…

Rank
The new way of ranking in DBD (silver, gold, iris…) is starting to really piss me of. Before if u did good you were going up, bad down and if u were doing ok you stayed. Like that you could really know your level and now the MMR is a mess. Change it back or do something else because i'm really tired of pairing with players…

Trickster Builds and Recommendations?

Killers should not be balanced according to statistics. Statistically, the Nurse is average, but she
I have 7k hours of Dead by Daylight, I've had my mono oni, mono spirit, mono surv days, I play with all the killers. To this day, I don't understand what Behavior is waiting for to nerf Blight and Kaneki. These two killers are absurdly strong when played by someone who masters them due to their mobility. Blight hitting the…

About some overpowered killers
Killers like The Blight, The Nurse, Kaneki, and Rin Yamaoka (The Spirit) clearly have extremely strong abilities. Is their strength balanced with voice chat (SWF) groups in mind? I usually play solo, and when I go against these killers, it often ends up feeling like they just dominate the match. That’s why I’ve been…

What has BHVR done???
so I took a long break from dbd. I was on a two month break before Springtrap, and then played him for a handful of games and haven’t touched dbd since….until recently. As in one day. And every game is a trash heap dumpster fire of bullshit. As a killer all the survivors I get anymore all just bring gen speed builds and…

The Bleak Killer Experience & Why I want A New Game Mode | | Entirely New Game
I've noticed a bit of a negative and repetitive gameplay loop both as survivor and killer. If the killer decides to tunnel, and does so successfully, it will force the team to sacrifice themselves to protect the tunneled survivor. If the killer has mobility powers with gen regression perks, it's basically game over. If the…

Day 17 of the Krasue arc
Prestige 12 has been achieved and Im gonna be honest I genuinely didn’t think i would enjoy playing as Krasue as much as I am but Im having fun so who really cares. Another update at prestige 13. Also I’m thinking about doing a poll for who Im playing next at prestige 19.

Head On should be reverted
With Patch 9.0.0 BHVR changed how the AFK crow system works. Which also directly or indirectly (not sure if this was an intentional change. Hopefully it wasn't) buffed Head On to work even though you have AFK crows on you. Before 9.0.0 if you get a single afk crow you no longer would be able to use head on. Which makes…

Every Killer Adapted Into Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition
A while ago I started a project of adapting every killer in DBD into D&D 5e, and I have finally completed. I took creative liberties with some things, because some abilities don't really adapt directly into 5e, due to mechanics not shared by both of them. Some values were also adjusted to different numbers, cause while 1…

Word of the weapon eventually reached the empire, and Tsbuku was captured…

Fun Interactions!
Back at it again with a discussion thread to fuel why we love this game. Stop by, take a seat, and have a break from balance discussions for a moment. I think micro-moments in this game are one of the main things that keeps people coming back. There is fun in the macro game, juggling and balancing multiple things,…

Auto Recovery Toggle
Personally, I do not like the automatic recovery feature that was just added. I feel it dumbs down the game and reduces player agency. Please consider adding a toggle in the settings to remove it.

Ghoul shouldn't lock you in place when attacking you
The actual attack cooldown can be shortened such that the the distance is the exact same. but just forcing the survivor to just sit there and do nothing for 2 seconds feels horrible. Its such a small change and has very little actual gameplay impact but would make the killer feel so much better to play against. It would…

In need of new mechanic/ status effects part 4
New Status Effect for Generators: Unstable Information ( appearing as active status effect ) about this status effect is visible to survivors when they start repairing a generator affected by it. Every 15 seconds, the generator begins to be engulfed in flames. Once it catches fire, it explodes within the next 5 seconds,…

My opinion from both survivor and killer POV
Hi, I have been playing since 2018 both killer and survivor, and with recent updates is really boring and really predictable. The maps are too small and very limited due to gens being too close together to the point the exit gates are beside eachother and are neighbours and the maps and too bright so it loses its horror…

Betahub bug reports suggestion
Could you guys add the path where the log files are usually located on the description of the section so people would add them more often. Currently most people who report one bug don't even know where to find those files and so they rarely get added causing many bug reports to be placed in the "Need More Info" category as…

Imagin if they remastered the Naughty Bear Games.
The first Naughty Bear game was my child and I played it for hours. I would love them to add a Multi-player mode where One player is Naughty Bear and the others are The Other Bears trying to survive and take down Naughty Bear. So you can experience the Other Bears POV of what Naughty Bear does. That would be so fun if they…

Idea: Event/Costums For Dead By Daylight (Naughty Bear)
I will assume most people have forgotten the fact that Behavior Interactive was the developer for the game "Naughty Bear" back in 2010. Im not saying make Naughty Bear a killer, its possible yeah. Thats not what Im getting at, the concept is basiclly the same from Naughty Bear to Dead by Daylight. A Killer is trying to…

Could this game survive without anymore IP's?
Since the beginning DBD has been known for their licenses of iconic characters from movies, games, ect and they have brought in alot of attention from those fanbases. Starting in 2023 it feels like they have gone into overdrive with licenses, in the span of a few months we got DND Tomb Raider and Castlevania and that trend…

consider making Kindred basekit for players outside of a SWF (minus the killer aura reading)
I think this has been brought up a couple of times, but I wanted to reignite the discussion because it would be a simple addition and would make the gap between SWF and Solo Queue smaller. The DBD team has done great with giving more info to players, but anything that buffs Solo Queue and makes it so you don't lose a game…

Anyone else still encountering missing pallets on midwhich?
Just curious if anyone else have encountered this, pallets that have always been guaranteed spawns are not spawning and leading to deadzones. its less common then before they said they fixed it but I'm still noticing it on occasion.

We need an event that let's the killer and survivors work TOGETHER
I am sick and tired of the bullshit "us vs them", especially from those players who refuse to play both sides. We can't force anyone to play both sides but, a game mode that would have the killer and the survivors have to work TOGETHER to win could actually help. Even if only temporarily How this would go could be so many…

Disable crossplay by default on PC for healthier non cross-platform queue times.
Edit: Check post further down that visualizes how this would be improved for everyone. I feel like this post got misunderstood because all I'm suggesting is improved options for both PC and Console players. When you turn off cross-play, queue times are insanely long. I gave up waiting after 15 minutes (survivor). One…

Gen-rushing from the survivior side
I think people became efficient and started using toolboxes and perks for gens because that's the only way they can win games. After anti-tunnel, anti-slugging changes being dumped I feel like they lost their hope for the game's health and enjoyment. Killers now just tunnel most of the time, more than they did before. Some…

Kaneki voice lines should also play during matches
Hi Behaviour team, First of all, I want to say that the Tokyo Ghoul collaboration is great. Ken Kaneki is one of the most iconic anime characters and it’s really cool to see him in Dead by Daylight. However, I noticed that Kaneki’s voice lines mostly play only in the lobby. During matches he mainly makes screams and attack…
