Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance rework idea
Could be its own standalone perk, but: The first time each Survivor is Hooked on a Scourge Hook, gain a Token, up to 2/3/4. (curse you arbitrary rarities) While you have a Token, you can send a dying survivor immediately to an unoccupied Scourge Hook with the Secondary Action Button (whatever X/A or the corresponding…

If Hooking we’re incentivized, what incentives would you want to see?
Myself personally, a Mori that can be acquired that isn’t just on the last survivor, perhaps sooner. What would you want to see? (Ignore the autocorrect in the title)

Some Killer Perk Ideas
Remnant: Solitude See the Auras of Dull Totems. You can interact with them to create a Remnant: Solitude Totem (Similar to a Rekindled Totem) You gain the Undetectable Status while within 32m of this Totem and for 6/8/10s after leaving it. Remnant Totems emit an audible noise within 8m and cause a global audio cue when…

Fire Up Change
See that it’s slated for a tweak, this is my suggestion: Instead of Tokens from Generators completed, it gains Tokens from Pallets destroyed. Possibly reducing the gain per token to 1/2/3% and a maximum of 7 Tokens.
-
Slugging/Tunneling/Camping limitation system concept
Slugging Fully self-recovered survivors (95%) can now pick themselves up while directly underneath an Empty Hook. They become Broken until they’re next put into the dying state, and suffer Deep Wounds. Edit: “Seek Help” once at 95% will now display “Seek Help (Survivor Icon), or risk a bargain (image of a dying state…

Legendary Skin Revamp Concept
Figure They have their own concept already planned. But wanted to toss out my version: Under each Role Character select becomes Chapter Select Chapter Portraits function as “Movie Posters” to familiarize the player with that IP’s tone/setting Selection of a Chapter Portrait dives into the related Character Portraits…

Let Players open portals while inside The Void?
Just kinda feels awkward if you enter the Void from the initial existing portal, but then you're unable to exit at a different location as no one has opened another portal yet.
-
2v8 concerns: Self-Pickup and "Tug of War" Gen speed mechanic.
Wasn't mentioned, but will Survivors in the dying state with an available Active Ability be able to immediately use it to pick themselves up? Would they need to recover some amount? Not sure how great it would be to have a survivor be able to immediately pop up while the Killer is in their attack recovery animation.…

Fatal Frame Survivor Perk (Power) Idea - Camera Obscura
Was looking at speculating on potential licenses that might come into DBD, and learned more about the Fatal Frame series. Working with a general concept: Taking Pictures of Ghosts. We've got a Lute object in the game. So it stands to reason that they could introduce a Camera object like the Camera Obscura in the game. The…
-
Let Survivors who have fully recovered pick themselves up under Hook?
What if Survivors could pull themselves up at the base of a Hook to recover the last 5% of the dying state? I think it'd be a more dynamic system wherein both the Killer and the Survivor need to gauge if the distance to crawl to a Hook is worth it. It would require the Survivor to spend time to crawl to a Hook which is…
-
House of Arkham - Community short story writing contest?
Cosmetics, banners, charms, Emblems. Useful to populate a player profile and to be sold in the store/bought with Iri shards. But as of late, the House of Arkham sections of the Tomes have seemed like a collection of short stories. Perhaps there could be a possibility of a short story writing competition? "Tales from the…
-
Mori Change - Another Iteration
Base-Game: If a Survivor on Deathhook is dropped under a Hook, instead of being Hooked, they can be Moried. (Maybe only after you've hooked other survivors a certain number of times?) (Just the dying Deathhook Survivor underneath it? If a Survivor notes that they get popped off shoulder because they just hit the edge of…
-
Blood Hunt - The Mori Gamble
I get that Mori's can be used to skip a hook stage, you put in less work and it promotes tunneling. What if it's made to be extra work and promote interacting with all survivors to get a Mori? If you've hooked every survivor at least once/every survivor has incurred a sacrifice stage, you can invoke a Blood Hunt on dying…

Archive Pop-out auto-opens and covers Play Button on game open to Killer select (PC)
Whenever I open DBD, and navigate to Killer, for whatever reason the Archive challenge pop-out covers the play button, needing me to close it before starting a match. Not really a huge issue, but an annoyance.
-
When can survivors start to survive while in the dying state?
Slugging is a tool. It is a tactic. I don't want to stop it. What I want to stop is the massive disparity of time-efficiency possible with this mechanic that can snowball hard. (especially if all living survivors are slugged, or are soloQ and uncoordinated). Knocking a survivor out of commission with no agency on their…
-
Make killers Red Stain visible to them/provide Killer some info in Lights Out?
Just a spitball idea to give some ambiance/killers some tracking potential and area lighting (if needed): Make the red stain visible to the Killer, make it an AoE red light source that emanates from them. (This AoE more like a glow than a hard light) Maybe have it grow in size/intensity as you get near survivors? (If…
-
Can Pig use an RBT to Mori a Deathhook Survivor?
Lots of people seem to want to get a headpop. Instead of incentivizing scummy gameplay to get a passive headpop, can you introduce an active headpop in the form of a conditional Mori? If a Survivor is on Deathhook, and they still have an RBT on (inactive or active), can the Pig have access to a special Mori that lets her…
-
Please revert the Aura change for Pig, and make her RBT's less prone to Tunneling/buff application
Using the Jigsaw boxes as a "watering-hole" feature (You know where survivors likely will be based on RBT status) is a fun map strategy that makes playing her tactically rewarding. This does mean that a Survivor can easily be tunneled if they were previously Hooked and have an RBT on. However I think this stems from how…
-
How varied is the gear progression now?
Tried this game a while back, and felt that there was a lot missing in terms of gear progression and variety in order to retain interest for raiding bases. Are you able to unlock a significant amount of sidegrades/upgrades for gear/equipment? How long does that take? Do they try to make mechanically similar gear with…
-
Haunt Perks
This is suggestion for a Perk archetype that focuses on the creation of temporary objectives to navigate towards to gain time-limited buffs, being interactable by both Survivor and Killer. (leveraging the Haunt specters that spawn outside of the Void, in Haunted by Daylight as the objective marker). Basic Mechanics - "When…
-
Suggestion on adding the Void to the Base Game
I like the void, its ambiance, and its design, and the possibilities it has with hook interaction and map mobility, and the addition of the Haunt prop. It'd be cool if it was added into the base game. However, I think it could be tweaked in such a way as to add gameplay value for the base game, such as doing the following:…
-
Iron Will rework suggestion
Looking at Bite the Bullet, it's interesting how a complete lack of sound can make for tense deception plays by healing around terrain line of sight blockers during chase (with the caveat that you stop moving). I don't use Iron Will all that much, but it seems that it's not that great at suppressing audio effects that the…
-
Suggestion for stylization constraints for the "Calling Card" system
Heard about this system loosely via youtube, and it reminds me of the Call of Duty system (hopefully old MWII) That being said I do hope they stick with an overall stylization constraint, that being related to the Tomes, as though it's a torn page from a book, comic, painting, etc. Rather than the neon-gasm highly animated…
-
Would these Executioner Changes make him a more engaging zoner less played for anim-lock hits?
First - Make his zoning outside of anim-locks more appealing: Torment Trails will hinder Survivors for 1s if not crouched over. Second - While still keeping the dodge-ability of Punishment of the Damned, allow the Player to use it tactically to zone ahead in regards to chase: Holding the Attack Button will lock The…
-
Some Killer Perk Rework Suggestions
The following Perks I thought were kind of meh, (And Shadowborn will need to be changed if they introduce FoV changes) so here are some ideas on how they could be changed: Beast of Prey When Exiting Chase (and no other Survivor is in Chase), become Undetectable for 16/18/20s Overwhelming presence Survivors have their Great…
-
Trapper Buff - Traps Start Armed
Don't play Trapper much, so not sure if it's a buff or a nerf, but it seems weird to me that the "Hunter's" Traps don't start armed, as though they were placed beforehand. Seems like it could also be a buff, since Survivors wouldn't know what is and isn't trapped already, maybe even adding in a nice jumpscare if they run…
-
The Executioner - Please remove the Propagation Delay or the Danger Indicator
The danger indicator and the Propagation Delay, coupled with the delay on the Attack even firing, means it's really simple to dodge outside of animation locks, just by working off of the Danger marker. Not even by trying to predict the attack, akin to Huntress. Please remove one of these, so that Survivors have to…
-
The Executioner Addon Ideas
Punishment of the Damned applies Torment to Healthy Survivors Basic Attacks apply Torment. Punishment of the Damned creates Torment Trails. (Restricted Trails are not created) Putting a Tormented Survivor into the Dying state with Punishment of the Damned sends them to a Cage of Atonement. Trails of Torment Hinder…
-
The Executioner Torment Trail Buff
It'd honestly be nice to see Survivors Hindered when they cross over his Trail of Torment without Crouching. This can then let it be used as a corralling tool in chases, and a pre-placement hazard if there are known strong Loop exits.
-
Sadako Power Suggestions
I don't like that Survivors can disable the TV's for such long periods of time, as it hinders Sadako's mobility. However I understand why it is 'gated', given that her using the mobility is what applies condemned to Survivors. I think that her Slowdown is convoluted and too closely tied with Sadako's Manifestation…

Event Items Should not share the Same pool as Event BP Offerings
I've noticed that compared to my Killer Bloodwebs, I get fewer Event BP Offerings as a Survivor, and in its stead are event items (that don't even have event specific goals that give BP Bonuses in Trial or something). Probably as a result of them just being labeled as "Event", with a random element as to what in the pool…
-
Exhaustion Perk Ideas
Ocular Slip: When Standing still for 2s this Perk Activates. Press the Active Ability Button to disappear from View for 4s. (Still has collision) After that duration or after moving, reappear with a Loud Noise Notification. Kick Dirt: Pressing the Active Ability button while Sprinting causes you to kick dirt in front of…

Perk Suggestions
Went through the Perks in the game and stringed together how they interacted with game mechanics and how they did so. The following are suggestions Perk ideas I concluded were lacking derived from that: Survivor Perks: A Perk that allows the movement/creation of Totems. A Perk that allow Survivors to interact with their…

Masquerade Event Mechanic Question
Will Killers be able to perform a “Breakable Wall” Break Action on the blocked Vaults to remove the entity block? Or will certain Vaults just be a “screw you”, like the chute vault on The Game?
-
The Singularity - Power Addition Concept
Introduce Gestation Pods Firing a biopod at the ground creates a Gestation pod. Over 30s Gestation pods grow in size. During which, collision with Survivors will cause the Gestation pod to pop. After 30s Gestation pods gain collision, being able to block survivors. Sprinting Survivors that collide with fully grown…
-
Map Item Buff
Maps are great for solo information, but sans comms it's hard to disseminate that information to other Survivors. I propose a buff to fill in that comms gap and to give the map some team-play interactions: Place Marker Action Press the Active Ability Button while channeling the Map to place a Marker of Light, consuming 4…
-
Spitball Concept - An Axiom of Fear - Killer Environmental Objective/Hook Incentive
Basic premise is to give an environmental objectives to Hooks for all Killers to make Hooks be less "samey". Hooking a Survivor "Awakens" a Hook The Killer can "Commune" with the Basement Shrine of Sacrifice and can Teleport to any Awakened Hook (That has not had a Survivor on it for at least 8s).The Awakened Hook then…
-
Counter-Slugging Mechanic - Self-Pickup at Hook
The Dying state gives a feeling of helplessness. Appropriate, given the Killer "got you". Only being able to be picked up by another Survivor is also appropriate, given that one of the Survivor themes is that through cooperation, a stronger foe can be overcome. Slugging (Keeping a Survivor in the Dying state) itself isn't…

Game Mode Suggestion - Legion's End
Gameplay synopsis: Hide and Seek. When the Seeker finds a Hider, they join the Seeker's side. Queue Single queue. No Survivor/Killer queue. Five players. Map Autohaven Wreckers - Gas Haven Objectives No Generators. No Hooks. Few Pallets. Accelerated bleedout timer. Hide or die. Killer One of the five players is randomly…

Would Killer Basic Attacks destroying Standing/Dropped Pallets be more interesting?
(Spoiler) Nevermind, turns out I completely overlooked the details of the anniversary event. Thought Survivors were just able to poop out Pallets.
