Never understood Pain: Res
I know what the perk does but to me it feels like a double edge sword. So I don't use it since I use Oppression or Dying light more recently but I never unstood pain: res because of one thing. You have to be super picky of when to use it. Use it to early and all your tokens are gone and you now have an empty perk slot. Use…

2025 In Review: Perk Changes Suggestions - Survivor Edition
With 2025 now just in the rear view mirror, I think it'd be interesting to go over the perks released with the new chapters this year and see what, if anything, I'd change about them now that they've all been in the game for at least a little bit. To cut down on this post's length so things don't get out of hand, I won't…

Chucky existence in 2026
I lately tried Chucky a lot. While I'm having serious issues with him: → His dash is somewhat ok speed, but the turning is extremely restricted for the fact that he's 4.4 and loses tons of distance every time no matter wheter you hit or miss Now compare it to Myers: → Dash can be performed every 4s → Dash instadowns → Dash…

Stranger things perks fan-concept?
Eleven → Psychic push: When the killer vaults a window in a chase, he will be pushed back into start of the vault and window becomes blocked. Causes exhausted status effect for 60s → Invocation: Monsters Exiled: After performing invocation any time generator suffers regression event it will have 40 % less damage value.…

Dead Hard and Springtrap
So why does Dead Hard prevent Springtrap from grabbing? It has clearly been stated that perks are not supposed to directly affect specific killers, and endurance does not prevent grabs, only Dead Hard. Seems very hypocritical.
-
exhaustion perks nerf / sidegrade idea
sprintburst is an unbalance boring perk. so maybe make it 50 seconds, only give 25% for 5 secons, so now you run slower an make less distance but still pretty strong boring perk or maybe make it 30/40 seconds and give the 50% for one or less seconds, like old deadhard but with less control over it lithe, just make it 2…

Kill Rate is not a good balance metric
It comes up so often that the kill rate "target" is 60% and I hate seeing this so much. Kill rate does not tell a good picture of killer performance. Killer balance should be looking at the kill distribution and comparing the % of 3/4k,2ks, and 0/1ks. When it comes to match outcomes the difference between a 3 and 4 kills…

Survivor perk idea: Deadly games
I had an idea for a survivor perk. The idea is this: activate ability, whenever activated, your aura is revealed to the killer for the next ten seconds, if you manage to last 25/20/15 seconds without entering a locker or chase during this time, gain indefinite noise reduction and no scratch marks, and if your hit while…

Skull Merchant
I’m a bit of a newer player, I joined after the added Kaneki and I have come to love one killer over all: The Skull Merchant. So I was a little shocked to learn she is the most hated killer in the game. So please tell me, why? Is it gameplay? Because she isn’t too difficult to deal with. Hell, she has half a power so she…

Sorry Bill you will never be Tim Curry Pennywise.
Sorry but hiw scooby doo voice and weird ass eyeballs cos he could do it in rt, no. Welcome to Derry was a heck no it was slow stupid and silly. Sory but watch the original IT which was a tv series, the suspense, the very thriller etc. The new It looks like me after a mum night out and talking like so!

Artist (not the killer) wanted
hi, there. this is a concept I have for a new costume for my favourite killer: The Skull Merchant (I know it’s not a popular choice but I love her.) I guess the costume is something like “The Skull Queen.” If anyone is better at drawing than I am, which isn’t hard, could you try to do a better version of this? I’m planning…

Thoughts and Predictions?
What all do you think this PTB will bring us OTHER than “Stranger Things 2” Im thinking a laundry list of more bug fixes. Fingers Crossed. 🤞🏼 I think some killers will also get some tweaks, maybe QOL? I feel like the Anti Tunnel/Slug changes will come in the next PTB since it would be too much to pile all in one. First…

Love getting matchmaking banned cause I DC'ed against a cheater. Speaking of which...
Did BHVR delete the anticheat or something? I'm consistently getting cheaters all of a sudden. Yesterday I had someone saboing hooks remotely, now someone I caught blinding me through a wall and caught him using wallhacks, on top of a massive uptick in suspicious gameplay. The ######### going on with the anticheat BHVR?!

The new dc penalty system
Only learned about this but the way the new system works is that you now have to play 20 matches to remove each DC points instead of waiting a single day for the point to be removed, and if you log in to dbd, the DC penalty timer doesn't go away if you log off the game (don't know if that's a bug or not) In my opinion I…

Did Unknown get an update something?
I was facing Unknown and got weakened easy enough just look at him and not get hit...but then I did when his UVX went through me. There wasn't any blast zone meaning it didn't touch the ground since it usually bounces off an object then will have to bounce again but I was being hit by it just going through me. There's no…

Chapter Concept: Going Postal
Because i've been replaying alot of Postal 2 lately. New Killer: The Dude (Psychopath) New Survivor: The Dude (Just an #########) New Map: Paradise Mall. A mostly indoor map featuring an empty depressing mall. Rated 9/10 by former Child Actors! Also there's plenty of fun easter eggs like Cat Silencers, Krotchy Dolls and…

DBD 2026 Wishlist (no particular order)
Update/rework on certain maps/realms I find that Nostromo and Toba are very problematic for killer as it's way too easy to hide or find a strong tile as survivor. Also, Undead Refuge (TWD map) is the complete opposite; way too small and barely any safe tiles. I'd like to see these adjusted to be a bit more fair for both…

Knight Hate is Forced
Now look, I'm not going to pretend that Knight's design is the very best in the game. It does have a lot of flaws. It does suck to get sandwiched with a guard and get hit. But, at the same time, people still pretend it's 2023. But when I say I've gotten death threats and bypassed slurs for just playing a character. Believe…

Nurse should have less speed when she blinks
Right now is really hard to react to it especially when she sees you because it's too fast and broken ping can also help her to get those unfair long ass hits especially combined with her green addon. Overall her blink speed should be looked at and somewhat reactable

Toolbox Discussion: Would You Rather...
I don't think it's controversial to say that toolboxes are at least potentially far too strong; even if a brown toolbox might not be all that good, a properly stacked Commodious Toolbox is one of the strongest things a survivor can bring into the game. The purpose of this discussion isn't really to properly commit to a…

New survivor perk idea: dangerous games
I had an idea for a survivor perk.

Something I found out about an achievement
No idea if anyone else has noticed but it's with the adapts All of them go by the first name of the character(minus killer) expect one Nicolas Cage his doesn't. It goes by Adapt Cage. Not really much else just something I found out that I found interesting.

Cosmetic for The Knight!
Now stay with me on this. Imagine a crossover between two legendary IPs that would give the Knight another epic legendary cosmetic that could reasonably change his character. One that would make sense with the knights he deploys. It would be tall and intimidating, reaching the pinnacle of killer hitbox ceilings. It would…

Is there a reason all of my posts are being removed?
I noticed recently that all but one of my posts have been taken down, and I’m not sure what caused it. I’ve never posted anything negative or used profanity, so I was surprised to sign in and find most of my discussions completely erased. I even tried to repost one of my discussions a few times after noticing this, but it…

I made a video showing small differences in some killer teleport powers using Dark Sense.
the video starts out explaining what Dark Sense does, and I use it's perk activation rules to determine what killer powers; mainly teleports, are fast and invisible physical movments across the map, and which ones are actual teleports. I know it's long, but I wanted to test everything I could think off that would fit.

Simple change to the Match Details screen
Dear BHVR, please turn the first image into the second image. We don't need to know the internal tile names or the realm name, but what we SHOULD know is where we even are in terms of server, especially if our latency is atrocious. (Mock-up region is an example)

I would love to see a The Boys chapter with Homelander as a killer

Flashlights are 2 easy
besides using lightborn which is way too stupid to have complete immunity since 1 perk completely nullifying multiple perks, items and add-ons seems OP to me its generally just too easy to dodge flashes imo i can have my entire screen filled by 4 survivors flashing me without it registering it just cause i look down or up…

¡¡New style concept for ghost face!!
Ghost Face Strangler Hello, BHVR community! I'm conducting this poll because I've designed a new style that I think would look great on the killer "Ghost Face" in DBD. If you like it, please help me implement it in DBD. To support me or give me any advice, leave a comment; I'll be watching. The following message is for the…

Remove Onryo's lullaby
This existing makes absolutely zero sense. There is no point in being Undetectable if you put out a lullaby telling them you're there. You might as well just remove the Undetectable at that point because it's the same thing as a terror radius. It being directional makes no sense either, but the lullaby has no point in…

Time to test a truth or myth
Firstly, happy and peaceful New Year to all. Survivors are complaining rightly or wrongly they constantly get put against Blight, Ghoul or Nurse. Let's see who plays who by listing your top 3 killers by character prestige. Mine are Trapper (26) Legion (16) Ghostface (15)

PLEASE allow perk charms to be equipped regardless of role.
There is no good reason why this restriction should exist. Perk charms are cosmetic; why shouldn't you be able to rep your killer main while playing survivor, or vice versa? Other charms exist, sure, but perk charms are the only way you can do this for every single character, including licensed characters who have no…

Why is the Ghoul Allowed to be so Ridiculously Obnoxious?
Seriously, has the Dev Team every said anything on the matter of that squirming Twink? The Ghoul gets the following: - A free initial injury Applied by Hit-Scan. - Deep Wounds on free first Injury. - A Super Mode that can be indefinitely extended (on multiple survivors at once) that is based on a status Ailment on…

Secretly removed gel dressings from bloodwebs?
So I am pretty certain they secretly removed gel dressings from our bloodwebs. I've manually spent over 7 million in blood points in the past few days and did not get a SINGLE gel dressing. Actually my number of Gel dressings has stayed the same for weeks now which made me go through searching for them specifically. What's…

The biggest difference between killer and survivor role...
If you suck at killer, you need only resort to tunneling, camping and slugging to maintain a very high kill rate. If you suck at survivor…you're dead almost every match and so are all your teammates, unless you get very lucky. If you're good at killer…enjoy going on lengthy win streaks unless you purposefully throw. If…

Coldwind farm map: mowing the corn
I vaguely remember the devs talking about mowing the stupid cornstalks so that you aren’t blinded as killer when you enter the cornfields on the coldwind farm maps. Have they just given up on that? Or is something in the works?

An Idea for Nemesis' Zombies
Im sure Im not the only one who has thought that Kyle and Samantha may be contributing factors when talking about changing (or maybe even reworking) Nemesis. The idea of an AI roaming around is pretty neat all things considered, its just I dont think it should be considered such a big part of a killers power due to how…

Needing some advice for going against certain killers
This is mainly those I'm seeing a lot of and I've still not seen about half of the cast so potentially there might be more. There is three I'm really struggling with and have not had a single escape with. Granted partly this is also just from the others doing literally nothing when I am being chased. Myers (Shape) is one I…

Idea - Rework of luck offerings?
What's everyone's thoughts on a rework of the luck offerings? since they have removed the self unhook basekit the only times I see it burnt it ends up sandbagging the match because someone goes "oh I can unhook myself lemme do that' and goes to second stage. Best idea I could think of with keeping spirt of how it works the…

Power name Fates Intertwined The killer ability grants the power to grab any survivor and stab them with a syringe that causes the status effects : Broken, mangled, hindered : Upon the action the killer goes on cooldown for and is slowed down for 1.2 seconds before going back to 4.1 speed. In order for survivors to remove…
