"Big Baddie" outfit not playing the unique Modern Tales collection theme
The "Modern Tales" collection's lobby music theme does not play when equipping the newly-added "Big Baddie" outfit for The Trapper. PLATFORM: PS5 STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: Purchase and equip the "Big Baddie" outfit for The Trapper. The default theme is playing instead of the Modern Tales theme.

Animations bugged for The Pig
The Pig no longer holds a Reverse Bear Trap in the lobby, and shares The Nightmare's main menu pose instead of her custom pose. Also, the "The Saw" and "Twisted Trefoil Blade" weapon cosmetics are bugged and do not spin or jitter like they are supposed to. PS5, and also all platforms. Instructions: Select The Pig, and the…

Is there a reason we haven't seen any more Cenobite skins?
Or RE skins, come to think of it. I've been waiting for a Butterball skin for Pinhead for ages, but despite the introduction of Chatterer making it seem like they're doing legendaries for the 4 original Cenobites, we haven't gotten a single skin for Pinhead, let alone legendary. And RE is one of the biggest cash cows DBD…
-
Place your bets. How will they nerf Legion?
I don't think they should, don't get me wrong - but we've all seen this song and dance before. A killer gets introduced/buffed to a point where they are pretty strong, but also very easy to play. Then they proceed to dominate low MMR gameplay while being average or weak against skilled survivors, causing their average…
-
Isn't the new Pig weapon just an older one?
The first weapon is "The Saw" from the "Test Subject" outfit. This new blade (below) is virtually identical. Kind of disappointed, honestly - a bit lazy to just remove part of the weapon and treat it as something entirely new.
-
I'm going to give BHVR props!
They've disabled Haddonfield until it gets graphically updated - meaning we AREN'T going to suffer through a deluge of Strode Realty Keys every game, as people use up their stocks of this famously well-balanced and fair map! I didn't think they would do this and I am surprised, but appreciative.
-
Why do you think Trickster's kill rate is so low?
It's not like he's very strong, or even above the midway mark of strength for killers, but I'm not sure why he's still below 50% kills even after the buff. People kill themselves on hook against him all the time, and he's a very effective camper. Surely that alone should be rocketing him to high kill rates, like it does…
-
Why are no female killers ever actually evil?
Noticed this with the Artist's release. Pretty much every male killer is a bad person, or at least someone who would kill without the Entity's provocation, barring some exceptions; Wraith, Deathslinger, possibly Trapper and Bubba. They're people with whom the Entity wouldn't need to do much to convert into a killer. But…
-
Why hasn't Furtive Chase been changed yet?
Seriously, Furtive Chase has not received a single change since release despite being one of the absolute worst killer perks in the game. It has unnecessary restrictions, a gimmick with the Obsession, the need to build tokens and it can be disabled if the Obsession dies. And all it does is reduce your terror radius while…
-
Why are Pinhead's chains so bad?
Been prestiging him recently, and wow, I hadn't realised until now just how easy to break his chains are. It's gotten to the point where I hardly even use the gateway at a tile I can play normally, because it's a waste of time and they'll break free of the chains before I can even get close to them. Not even to mention how…
-
What is the most forgettable perk?
By forgettable, I mean perks that nobody uses and are not memorable in the slightest. They don't even need to be bad, just unused. For my money, it's Deathbound. Not only is its effect not very strong and difficult to properly make use of, but it has several conditions that need to be met by survivors in order for the perk…
-
I wish they hadn't been as harsh with the Deathslinger nerfs (Edit: They weren't!)
(Edit: Turns out that, as per the attached image, his ADS is only being increased to 0.4 seconds! This is fantastic and his quickscope should stay intact, and as such, everything below is no longer a real issue. I am incredibly happy right now.) Deathslinger was and always has been my favourite killer since his release,…
-
How are Trickster's blades going to work with new Blood Favor and Third Seal?
As far as I know, each blade thrown is counted as a "special attack", hence why PWYF loses a token per knife. If so, does that mean that each knife hit will apply Third Seal, and each knife hit will block pallets? Because especially that last part could get out of hand very easily. I can't imagine BHVR overlooking…
-
Would people be happy if Spirit was nerfed, but her strength and pickrate stayed the same?
We're assuming here that the nerf is some magical fantasy change that by itself is enough to give her counterplay, but she still kills you and your team often and is played often. I ask this because many killers that are played a lot get hate and are seemingly disliked mainly because of this. For example, take Blight, or…
-
Thank you BHVR! I didn't think you'd change this
In case nobody's played him, Pyramid Head now has his old Rites of Judgment animation back. His knife enters the ground the moment Punishment can be used, instead of jankily stabbing into it and not moving before being able to fire. This was a really small complaint I had but I'm very glad it's been changed. Don't have a…
-
Do Pinhead's chain cosmetics change the look of the possessed chain?
Pinhead's OC outfit has a chain cosmetic, but obviously you can't see it in the store on Pinhead himself. Does equipping it make the possessed chain (the one you control) change in appearance, or is it just the one he uses as a basic attack? Because if it's just the basic attack one, why on earth would anyone buy it?…
-
Favorite meme builds?
One I came up with and enjoy is Fake Camp PH. All you need is Dark Devotion, Iridescent Seal of Metatron, and ideally something that inflicts Exposed like Haunted Grounds or something to make the survivors afraid to rescue. Down your Obsession with a basic attack, and send them off to a Cage - now the caged Obsession is…
-
What is the strongest killer add-on?
Assuming it's being run on it's own. I think it's Tombstone Piece, just because of how quickly you can get a survivor killed with no meaningful downside, but Kavanagh's Last Breath, Mother-Daughter Ring and Alchemist's Ring are all incredibly good if the player is very good at the killer.
-
I thought they fixed fake grabs?
I have good ping, so this isn't something on my end. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
-
You get to include any licensed killer you want, but...
...they have to be a legendary skin for an already existing killer. Who do you pick and why? For me, it's Jacket from Hotline Miami as a legendary set for the Trickster. Both are neon-themed bat-wielding combo-focused knife-throwing serial killers who specialise in fast kills, rapid movement/dexterity and executions. They…
-
Could the riddle be hinting at... Alien?
Some lunatics shared this and figured I would post this here because it's just the right amount of contrivance for a BHVR licensing teaser. Note how the "A" has several As, like "S-egg-aaaaaa". Feel like Springtrap is a red herring, hence BHVR's use of the perk on Twitter today, and judging by how they delivered Silent…
-
What happened to Mori dailies?
Just realised this today - I don't think I've actually gotten a "mori someone with X killer" daily for about a year now. Am I just ludicrously unlucky? Or did they remove them and I just didn't realise?
-
Constant crashing?
Is anyone else on PS4 experiencing this? Just from today DBD's been crashing every other game and even in the menus pretty frequently. I have a 30min DC penalty now. Am I just unlucky or is anyone else getting this?

Trickster feels terrible on console with 44 blades
Being accurate with Trickster's blades with a controller is virtually impossible, not to mention Trickster's recoil and handedness and all of that. Now, he actually requires you to be extremely accurate with each knife, which kind of sucks for us lowly console players, especially combined with the incredibly fast decay.…
-
Do you think Trickster was buffed or nerfed?
Weird question, and I'm obviously biased from not being able to play him any more, but Trickster feels so much easier to win against now. I've had 9 games against him so far, some not-so-good players and some very good players, and he honestly feels less threatening now. It's pretty easy to break line of sight enough to…
-
Would Furtive Chase really be so oppressive if it just... removed your terror radius in a chase?
I'm talking about when all 4 tokens are gained, to be clear. Something like 25% TR reduction in a chase per token. This way, it could be a niche but potentially powerful perk, especially with instadown and snowball killers - chase a guy, down them, and down the guy on the generator next to it because he had no idea that…
-
Assuming the bugged Twins add-on descriptions are hinting at A.I. for Victor - this is a bad idea.
Most people have noticed by now, but another case of the Clown's Party Bottle leak has occurred, with changed add-on descriptions for some of the Twins' addons hinting at an upcoming rework to the Twins allowing Victor being able to roam while Charlotte is controlled. I'm here to tell you that this is an incredibly bad…
-
Which licensed killer is the most and least faithful?
Title. One who acts almost the same in the game and in their original property, with homages to their source material and the like. I think the most faithful is Myers, and the least faithful is either Freddy or PH. I shouldn't need to explain Myers, but reworked Freddy's power has very little to do with his source material…
-
Which killers do you think should receive updates, and what kind?
For me, I think it's the following: -Trapper: Trap capacity increased by 1, reworked trap spawns, and maybe something like differing trap tint depending on the realm. -Wraith: Slight decrease to his cloaked movement speed OR reduction of the super-lunge back to 1 second. If the second option is taken, his movespeed when…
-
God, current Freddy is depressing
He just feels so... bland, now. So generic and artificial. Despite the reworked Freddy being a downgrade in almost every area except viability, I could at least play reworked Freddy and get some enjoyment from how stupidly easy it was to use his ten thousand powers. Now, though, he's kinda got the same feeling as nu-Billy.…
-
Why the upcoming Trickster changes may actually be a significant nerf to Main Event
In the upcoming mid-chapter patch, the Trickster is getting some much-needed changes. These include reducing the number of Blade hits to injure to 6, increasing the speed of Laceration decay, making Main Event take 30 blade hits to charge instead of 20, and increasing the active Main Event window to 30 seconds. However,…

Tips on Haemophobia?
It's the last trophy I need to get the base game platinum. Need to escape Disturbed Ward without being hit. Having trouble - is there any trick to this or do I just play like a rat? Edit: Just got it as Leon against a default Pig. Somebody DCed at 5 gens but she kept crouching around, so with incredibly brave gameplay I…

Trickster buffs are interesting
For those who haven't read the dev update, the short of it is the following: -6 knives to injure, down from 8. (Buff) -Laceration takes 10 seconds to decay, down from 20. (Nerf) -Laceration charges deplete faster in general once Laceration starts decaying. (Nerf) -Main Event activates in 0.5 seconds, down from 1.5. (Buff)…

Will console DBD be fixed before the end of the anniversary?
Killer is virtually unplayable for me right now with all the lengthy framedrops and freezing. Survivor's a little better but still awful. I'd like to get crowns on some of my killers but just the thought of loading into a killer match with this framerate turns me off the whole anniversary thing.
-
Is anybody else getting frozen in place and then forcefully disconnected from the match?
It's happened to me three times in a row now on PS4. I boot up killer, play normally and then I get frozen in place, usually while using an ability like Corrupt Purge or grabbing someone, and all players freeze for about a minute with all music still playing before being booted back to the menu. It seems like console DBD…
-
Was it intentional to make the Hatch survivor sided?
Just come off from a few games where both me and the last survivor were waiting on top of the hatch, and no matter how fast I spammed the close hatch button (while standing on the side which allows you to close the hatch) the survivor would automatically escape without a prompt even showing up for me to close it. I saw a…
-
Victor can see the unique aura of generators with Blast Mine applied
1. Release Victor when playing as the Twins. 2. Go up to a generator as Victor and have a survivor use Blast Mine on that generator. I do not have screenshots unfortunately, as it wasn't the biggest priority, but Victor sees the generator highlighted in that white-orange colour it gets. It was on the Ironworks of Misery,…
-
Flashbang is incredible against Wraith
It's literally a guaranteed lightburn. Just drop it when he's uncloaking to hit you, I don't think he can make it out of the radius even if he stops uncloaking and runs. It's amazing and gives you a massive head start. Anyone who doesn't like Wraith, I recommend you give this a go.
-
Do you consider Dead by Daylight survivor sided, killer sided, or balanced?
For clarification, we're talking about high skill levels of play. Not tournament levels, but both teams being in about the top 25% of players. And for the sake of argument, we're excluding killers in the top or bottom percents, like Nurse, Spirit, Trapper and Trickster. Curious to see what people think. I'd consider this…
-
I hate how the game crashes every other match when I play Nemesis
Playing on PS4, and if the game freezing and stuttering constantly isn't enough, crashing has become incredibly common. My DC penalty is now 20 minutes, and it's making it very unappealing to play. Glad BHVR's pillar of Game Health is still a thing.
-
My prayers were answered - Eruption and Hysteria are actually good now!
I actually, genuinely did not think they'd buff either of these perks. But wow, removing the basic attack restriction AND lowering the cooldown - by 2/3 for Eruption? It's amazing, rekindles my faith in the balance team a little. Definitely going to be experimenting with Eruption a lot. Franklin's nerf is unfortunate but…
-
I wish there was a viable third generator regression option to Ruin and Pop
Don't get me wrong, I like Surge (possibly too much) but it just really doesn't hold a candle to either of the two giants of regression. And it's probably the best of its kind. -Oppression - Lack of information on what generators got hit, hefty cooldown, gen kick requirement and pitiful base regression make this…
-
A small change to the Twins' body blocking nerf, to make it a little less punishing
If this nerf was made to stop infinitely blocking someone in places like the Badham basement, then I'd recommend increasing the time before Charlotte loses her collision to 45 seconds or so. This would allow Charlotte to body block pathways while controlling Victor as before, but would still prevent holding a survivor…
-
Charlotte's collision being removed is another unnecessary nerf that lowers the Twins' skill ceiling
Despite not being mentioned in the patch notes, Charlotte now no longer has collision when controlling Victor. This means all bodyblocking plays with Charlotte are kaput - no bodyblocking tight corridors to slow survivor movement, no bodyblocking pallets and windows to punish survivors who try to loop the same tile, no…
-
I swear, if Lucky Break makes it through the PTB...
For reference, Gearhead and Coup de Grace were deemed too strong, despite neither being particularly good. If Lucky Break's considered balanced enough to bring to live, then I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of Stridor spirits. Seriously, though, why were Gearhead and Coup nerfed? They weren't too powerful or even…
