Map palette adjustments only widen the gap between M1 killers and top-tier killers.
Especially Ormond and Red Forest—already tough for Killer play due to their vast size, sturdy structures, and poor visibility for Scratch—now suffer from the addition of "exciting" double pallets, making playing M1 Killers downright painful. Is BhVR trying to get us to use Killers like Nurse or Bright more, or are they…

I think it's the end for killer
Hey BHVR, as someone who's loved playing dead by daylight for the past 5 years, I'm struggling to play killer. Gens seem out of control, Gens pop so quickly these days the game just feels like it's constantly played at a fast pace for killer. I have no idea where my wins are going to come from playing killer without…

Preset builds should transfer to limited-time queues
There's already been a lot of reports about this both here and on the subreddit. I'm going to be another brick in this wall. As of right now, any preset builds you have set up in the regular queue do not transfer over to the event queue. So you have to put them all back yourself, an effort that is going to waste since this…

Anyone else having Directional Audio issues since Halloween Patch?
Ever since patch, my directional audio for things like survivor sounds, generator repair, loud noises, etc have been completely off the rails buggy. Need to know if it is just me or if there is a serious issue.

Unable to Disable French Voice-Over on Xbox
Hello, I’d like to mention an issue with Sable’s French voice-over. Her pain sounds are extremely loud and distracting — it’s hard to focus during chases, and as killer you can hear her from far away. I’d really like to disable the French VO, but this option isn’t available on Xbox yet. Is there any ETA for voice toggle on…

120 fps on Dead By Daylight Console
It would be a nice time to give console players on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S the fps option for more than 60 frames per second as you can increase your frames on PC. I think this would be an amazing feature to have in a future update.

Event offerings
Please, make event offerings worth using… It's another event that we will be using survivior puddings, bloody party, escape cakes and anniversary cakes. Hopefully this gets fixed for the Christmas and Bloodmoon. We have 41 killers and 48 or 49 surviviors - we don't need to gatekeep the bloodpoints at this point.

Auric cells for the rift

Event items and offering are the wrong rarity
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: The Arcane Dowsing rod is currently Very Rare, and both the All Hallows' Eve Lunchbox and the Will o' Wisp are Rare. All other items/add-ons/offerings from this event and every other event are Common. Because of this, these nodes are more expensive and, especially in the case of the Dowsing rod, rarer…

Trapper traps stuck where they spawn
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: PLATFORM: PS5 STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: See trap, be unable to grab trap, be sad that your already mediocre power is even worse.

Will houndmaster ever get anything?
Her only purple rarity outfit is locked behind the blood moon event and she has not gotten a single outfit since, not a single bug fix, not a single balance change since her release, and they still have not updated knotted rope which they said they were going to do, but I guess they just kind of forgot about that like how…

survivors need a coms wheel like dbd mobile had
I feel like alot of soloq survivors will find the game much more enjoyable and unlike the anti tunneling and slugging updates i dont see any reason why this cant be added as a QoL since we where unable to get the anti tunneling and slugging. it does not address the issue directly but will encourage teammates to coordinate…

DBD is getting...dumber. (NOT worse, per say...)
tldr; BHVR, IF YOU REWORK SOMETHING AND IT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, STOP GIVING UP ON THE SOLUTION AND INSTEAD SHIFTING TO A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. TAKE AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO FIX THE ISSUE! Before you start reading… I want to make this as succinct as possible, so I'll start with formalities (skip if you could care less who I…

can we add a longer cooldown to the regurgitation on krasue
killer spits on you. if they miss (somehow), they have essentially no cooldown. as soon as they hit you with their spit, they INSTANTLY go into head form and turn into a concoction of wraith and demogorgon (and legion to some extent, since she can vault pallets). maybe make it so that when the survivor gets regurgitated, a…

Would you like to see more mini games integrated into the base game?
Personally, I would love it if they added mini games to some of the killer's powers. Pig's traps could require more than just boring skill checks; they could even be inspired by the variety of traps in the SAW movies. Similarly, they could add mini games to the generator repairs. For example, once the generator reaches 25%…

Full Screen Game Does Not Mute Audio When Minimized (Press Windows Key)
A few updates ago, DBD used to automatically mute its audio whenever I pressed the Windows key or minimized the game while playing in fullscreen mode. That was convenient because it prevented the game sounds from continuing in the background when I had to quickly switch to another window. However, after some recent…

Do you think Chucky's Add-ons need a rework?
In my opinion, most of his scamper add-ons need a rework. The base-kit scamper mechanic is practically useless; it only works against newer players that hold shift + w after pre-dropping a pallet. The scamper add-ons don't really add anything to make scampers more useful. I wish they would rework an add-on to increase the…

(URGENT) Vecna's Skeletons Delayed Flight, PLUS Dispelling glitch and 1 Skeleton missing!
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: Vecna sometime's only spawns 4 skeletons after the 8.7.0 update, and they also are delayed before shooting outwards. This is kit breaking for this killer. THIS NEEDS FIXING ASAP!! Dispelling sphere also has some crazy lighting glitches, as a P100 Vecna main that streams and promotes DBD, this would…

THE QUEST "Evil Omen" Book 4.
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: I've made multiple matches as Wraith, where I rang the bell right on top of them (not with a silent bell) to all four survivors in each game, and it still isn't counting it. I've tried doing it and immediately hitting them after as well to no avail. I've restarted the game. I've tried a different tome…

I had a question
What if you met a fellow Survivor or Killer who was new to DBD and was not that good at the game and years later found them and they found there build and Killer/Survivor and actually got better at the game and was doing so much better than before. How would you react to them improving

Every Event, the Same Toxic Behavior
Event games are miserable when killers start tunneling someone right from the beginning and BM everyone. If I remember correctly, every time an event is active, some people start playing like this. I can understand if someone isn’t very skilled and feels the need to tunnel to secure a kill, but when they add BM on top of…

How is Michael worse off then before?

Can we fix the Artist pallet bug please...
There are probably a couple other bugs she still has; I know bhvr has been fixing her a little lately but this has been a bug for months. The Artist's crows have collision with dropped pallets. This means that crows that should have been a direct hit end up swarming instead, significantly weakening Artist's anti-loop and…

Preset names
I actually kinda liked being able to name my builds, it made it easy to navigate back to some of my staple favourites that I don't change. This update though you can still name the presets but it reset them all that I had named already. I think it also removed some builds, I only know this because I have a build…

Daryl's normal screams (Scene Partner etc) can be heard directly on top of you
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: Even if he isn't near you, Daryl Dixon's (legendary cosmetic for Rick Grimes) scream can be heard as if he is directly on top of you. This was most notable with Daryl running Scene Partner, as his scream and all following screams would play the audio directly on top of my character. Including seeming…

Instead, they have a single perk,…

Slugging for the 4k
When the killer slugs for the 4k, I roll my eyes. I then proceed to crawl into a corner or as far away from the slug point so they waste more time trying to find me. You need it so bad? Work harder for it. Plus it gives me a little side quest so I'm not bored out of my mind. We both would have been on to next match if you…

Sable: From Entombment to Reverence
Yeah, I know - I’m probably gonna get called AI slop. Duh. We’ve all been using AI for years whether you admit it or not - your maps, filters, autocorrect, captions, Spotify, all of it. So keep your shame to yourself. I’m just being upfront about it. This is art, this is expression, and if that’s ‘AI slop’ - then bon…

Sexual in game motions should be bannable.

Patch 9.2.0 VERSION 2

It's not that big of a deal but still.
It’s nearly 2026, bloodpoints are plentiful and Bloodweb items are overflowing, yet time and again, random queue survivors still enter lobbies empty-handed. At the very least bring along a simple brown toolbox. We sometimes complain that playing solo is miserable, and it can be, but it’s hard to make that case when more…

Who's really suffering from pallets?
I've seen a lot of discussion these days about the recent increase in pallets on maps. I thought, "Who's really suffering from pallets?" I made my own tier list. Each killer deserves an in-depth discussion; for example, Wraith, with the right add-ons, could easily be moved to the "eats pallets" category. Or Skull Merchant,…

Less Pallets for weak killers
I think it would be good for dbd if the amount of pallets would be adjusted to what killers you are playing. As far as I understand DBD the Maps are generated out of fixed elements and out of tiles and pallet positions. Some pallets are there some games and some games dont. How about the developer choose some pallets as…

Community Talk: Entombment & Reverence — Potential vs. Execution
After going through the Entombment and Reverence Rifts, the community has strong, mixed opinions. Both Rifts had amazing concepts - ancient, entombed vibes and cathedral-like stained-glass aesthetics - but the execution fell short. We’re not just venting. DBD players care deeply, and BHVR needs to hear this: we see the…
