Bill used to be arguably the best survivor?
When Bill released he had two perks that helped with two of the biggest issues in old dbd which were slugging and tunneling (and still are), if Bill didn't release it could have drastically affected the amount of survivor players and newer players because there would have been no counter to slugging and tunneling. And yes…

Freddy the 2nd rework. Joe's Hand Sharpens
Since Freddy is getting reworked yet again what should we expect this time? Now I don't expect a complete rework like the first time but what I personally would like to see are is a possible 2nd attempt of the original power (Freddy can't attack awake people has to manually put people to sleep etc to be more specific) but…

What Freddy's biggest issue truly is.
REMOVE. THE. SLEEP. MECHANIC. This single mechanic is what holds Freddy back, making him weak and boring. Think about it: when survivors are awake, you're essentially playing against a powerless killer, which is not only unengaging but also reduces him to a basic M1 killer. This creates one of his biggest weaknesses—being…

The Nightmare On Elm Street chapter is kinda getting reworked?
So, based on the latest roadmap (and the previous one), every single perk from the chapter—except for Bloodwarden—is getting changed. Freddy is finally getting another rework (hopefully they won’t repeat the mistakes from the last one), and I remember hearing that the Badham Preschool maps were on their list for…
-
Freddy could finally get cosmetics?
Apparently Warner Bros wants to license out some of it's franchises to other game companies and I see this as a chance for Freddy and Quentin to finally get cosmetics I know it's still a small chance but this gives me hope that the only killer in the game to never receive cosmetics will finally get something since it seems…

The FNAF chapter survivor, who is it?
Now this is a somewhat hard thing to choose but I see 4 possibilities Og Michael Afton. What I mean by "og" is a original design by bhvr like The Sadako survivor because he doesn't have any official adult designs in fnaf also Scott probably won't wanna reveal a official design for a character in a non fnaf game. However he…
-
My best idea for a Freddy rework
Please keep in mind I don't make ideas for big changes like this so if anything seems too weak or too powerful please let me know but don't be harsh, thanks. My main goal was to try and merge both rework Freddy and Pre-rework Freddy, hope I did ok. Dream Transition: Freddy can now seamlessly shift between the real world…
-
My tierlist of the possibility of fnaf characters coming in the collab
This is a tier list I made ranking the likelihood of certain characters appearing, based on the tier. Each tier should be pretty self-explanatory. This is just a little thing I made, and I'd love to hear what others think! (P.S. If you're not a fan of FNAF, I totally respect that, but please refrain from unnecessary…
-
The FNAF crossover, what should we expect?
I'm expecting a full chapter because the collab seems to be the anniversary chapter for next year also this collab has been requested for years and both parties know that so I don't think BHVR or Scott would waste it on a cosmetic collab. I'm guessing everything in this collab is gonna come from the games not movie as the…
-
My tier list for possible killers/cameos in the fnaf chapter
Basically Guaranteed: Self explanatory Skin/second killer: also self explanatory Could be on the map: Characters that could be on the map either broken, on stage or just as some kinda easter egg Charm or Something: Characters who I think could be either a charm or appear on some kinda cosmetic Unlikely: Characters who…

"Freddy update planned more info soon!"
Where. Where is the info, most people expected Freddy to get mentioned in the roadmap but he was nowhere to be seen, me and some other Freddy players both current players and players who stopped playing him due to his awful rework were really looking forward to seeing him mentioned somewhere in the roadmap but just,…

How I would rework/update some killer perks that seem weak, or too situational
These are changes to perks I think are either weak, situational, or both. Remember Me (Updated) You become obsessed with one Survivor. Each time your Obsession loses a health state, gain 1 token, up to 2/3/4. Each token increases the exit gate opening time by 6 seconds, up to a maximum of 12/18/24 additional seconds. The…

What happened to spotlight trailers
As far as I'm aware we haven't gotten one since Alan Wake, what happened to them? I always thought they were cool ways to show off new characters and their perks as well as maps if they had one. Also if a killer were to ever get a full power rework (Freddy) or just reworks in general you could go watch they're old…
-
My concept for the survivor for the FNAF chapter
This includes who the survivor is, his perks, and his lore (Don't attack me if the lore is weird I watch lore and don't usually make it myself) Survivor: Henry Emily Perks: Connection Terminated: When you complete a generator the killer is affected by blindness for 25 seconds and deafened for 5 seconds. (Changed to only…
-
My concept for FNAF Killer perks, Survivor perks, and cosmetics.
This does not include a power I am not clever enough for that. Killer: The Attraction (SpringTrap) Perks: Springlocked: After kicking a generator, it becomes Springlocked. If a survivor fails a skill check on a Springlocked generator, they scream, revealing their location, and become Broken for 30 seconds. This perk then…
-
We need a update for killer animations
Honestly, there are some killers whose animations look kinda stiff due to the fact that killer updates are mainly focused on the power or add-ons, so not much attention is given to animations. For example, most killers now have their own pallet break animation. Yes, most still just kick the pallet, but the kicking…
-
Killers I think have the best chance at being in 2v8
To start I'm just gonna list some that I think are most likely gonna be in. Myers, Bubba, Clown, Demo, Doctor, Legion, Spirit, Ghostface, and Oni. All these killers have pretty simple powers and therefore wouldn't be too difficult to make work in 2v8. Now for some others, Plague, Freddy, Pig, Pyramid Head, Deathslinger,…

How to tell if you are in lunging distance?
Whenever I play as killer I almost always just barley undershoot my lunges and whiff or don't think I can get a hit and miss out on what should be a guaranteed hit, is there a way I can tell if I'm actually close enough to hit a lunge?
-
Unspoken rules?
What are some unspoken rules of dbd? The only one I've heard is "If it glows it goes" what are some others?

Why I think Freddy should get The Mark Of Negation
Freddy Krueger, also known as The Nightmare in Dead by Daylight, deserves the Mark of Negation due to his considerable nerfing. In the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, Freddy’s abilities are exceptionally formidable, with nearly limitless control over the dream world, including reality manipulation, fear induction, and…
-
The Nightmare On Elm Street chapter is really flawed
The chapter is really flawed in general. The killer is weak and unfun, the maps are bad for one side and feel the same regardless of variation, and there is a lack of cosmetics for the characters that come with the chapter. Not to mention, it received a review bomb around release. A lot of people probably forgot that the…
-
A lot more Freddy's running around
I don't know if I'm the only one but I swear I'm seeing Freddy a lot more than usual which is odd considering he was the 2nd least picked killer not too long ago. Why is he suddenly getting picked?
-
Freddy had a unique vault animation?
I was watching Freddy's old spotlight trailer with his original power to see how much really changed and during it they showed Freddy vaulting but it looked different I put a clip of it below In that small clip you can see Freddy does a pointing animation before he finishes vaulting, as far as I can tell currently Freddy…
-
This has to be one of the buggiest updates
Just listing the bugs I've found should be enough to get the point. Myers using Trapper's animations for menu and pre-game lobby (Possibly other killers with the same issue) Dead Hard causing endurance not to work when unhooked or using that med-kit addon for insta-endurance Multiple gens completing when one gets completed…

Four would you rather questions
Would you rather have a killer with a power that's fun but weak or a power that is boring but strong Would you rather face Pre-rework Skull Merchant or Original Forever Freddy Would you rather go against an all p100 squad or a experienced bully squad Would you rather go against a perkless Nurse or a Trapper with his best…

Hook respawn is a blessing, why complain?
Hooks now respawning after someone dies is amazing, now I'm not forced to bleed someone out if theres no hooks. It ended up helping me against both a sabo squad and two boil over map abusers. But ofc theres people complaining about it and I really don't see why, killers have been nerfed a lot being limited to gen damage…
-
Too many Badham Preschool variations
In my option Badham has too many variations and those variations aren't even that different, the only thing that changes between them is the layout so it still feels the same every time you play on it, personally I would have preferred they kept Badham as one variation but maybe added Freddy's boiler room as another map in…

How long do PTB's stay open and are there dev updates for changes since the PTB?
-
Killers nerfed to 4 gens?
I don't know what's happening but a lot of games I've played I've had two gens left, one gen pops and suddenly the exit gates are powered, this can't be due to hacking since one of the times I was against a xbox swf so no one could even hack. This makes it very unfair for killer atm because every gen counts when your…
-
Chance of Freddy finally getting cosmetics?
I've heard rumors of a potential show about Freddy coming out around October and if these rumors are true I'm hoping theres a chance of Freddy getting some kind of cosmetic to go with the show. Some other characters have received new cosmetics because of new media like movies or shows releasing, I know the license holders…
-
What do you hope to see on the roadmap
On the Reddit ama we were told we'd get another roadmap like last years around the end of the month, what do you hope to see listed on it? If you don't know what roadmap I'm talking about it's this one (I think it's the right one at least)
-
Since Freddy has a update planned (Yay) what do you hope changes?
If you don't know on reddit it was confirmed that Freddy has a update planned and there would also be more info on it soon. What do you hope this update changes? Personally I just hope it's another rework but at this point I'd take anything.
-
Getting real sick of Freddy
It really sucks because Freddy is one of my favorite horror characters but idk if I can keep playing him currently. His kit is super limited, the gameplay is repetitive it just feels like "Why didn't my power work on them?! ..Oh, right..Darn." or "Ha they ran in the puddle! They still made it to the pallet/window, darn."…
-
Should BHVR cosmetically update older killers?
I mean updates as in textures, animations, music, sounds, just cosmetic type things. For example both Freddy and Pig are Average height killers, like Legion and Ghost Face but use the flashlight stun animations from the Tall killers even though there is now a different animation for Average height killers so Freddy and Pig…
-
Voice lines, good or bad
Honestly I like them, but feel like they should be given to characters more sparingly. Chucky is a good example, he's such a vocal killer it would be weird to have him completely silent, so giving him voice lines was a good choice. Then there's characters like Vecna who didn't really need them to feel like that character,…
-
Your killer main and favorite build for them?
Personally I main Freddy and like to run Barbeque And Chili, Save the Best For Last, Dead Mans Switch, and Jolt with the addons Red Paint Brush and Z Block
-
Changes you think were unnecessary?
Personally I only have two I can think of. Freddy's rework, instead of trying to just addon to his power and give some QoL changes they just hit him with a load of nerfs and then reworked him, completely unnecessary. Just the Realm Beyond update, the old graphics made map atmospheres feel scarier and just looked cooler I…
-
Freddy and Sadako have been greatly nerfed by the entity
Similarly to a discussion I made the other day I think both Freddy and Sadako have been greatly nerfed. Not as much as Vecna but still nerfed quite a bit Sadako could pretty much guarantee someone would die whether that be them getting killed by her or her cursing them to die after 7 days. Now she's still powerful and can…
-
How I would Rework the current Freddy
No this won't have Freddy be reverted to his original power this is meant to be a Rework to how he works currently. My goal was to make him more fun to play as and against so balancing wise idk how good this is. New: Dream Delusions These include Dream Generators, Dream Totems, Dream Breakable Walls, Dream Pallets, and…
-
Other killers should get "the Mark of Negation" that Vecna has
If you don't know according to Mathew Cote the symbol on the back of Vecna is "the Mark of Negation" apparently It's placed there by the Entity to nerf the more powerful killers in the realm. Personally the killers that come to mind for me are Sadako and Freddy, you can tell both are definitely nerfed especially Freddy I…
-
Locker exploit back?
I was playing a match recently and unfortunately ran into a survivor who had done a old glitch that makes them invincible in a locker I could open the locker and it wouldn't do anything and I couldn't hit them
-
Freddy is actually still movie accurate..kinda.
After rewatching the 2010 elm street I realized the micro sleep mechanic and survivors being able to see and be attacked by Freddy while awake is actually accurate to the movie, but seemingly only the 2010 movie. Later in the movie the main characters begin having "Micro Naps" which allowed Freddy to mess with them and…
-
If these characters were added today they'd probably be voiced
Bill, Freddy, Laurie, Steve, Nancy, maybe even Ghost face and Pig to a extent would probably be voiced if they released nowadays, but they were all released before voicelines were in the game which sucks because I would love hearing Freddy yell swears at people for me.
-
If Freddy were to get custom music
This is what I would want it to be like
-
Reworks now higher priority?
To me It seems killer reworks are a higher priority seeing how we are now getting a rework to The Knight and there was a attempted rework for The Twins not long ago. I hope this means theres a higher chance of reworks for other killers who need them like Freddy and Myers in the future.

Merged: How I would buff Freddy (Version 1.5 More basekit and addon changes)
This discussion has been merged.
-
How I would buff Freddy (basekit and some addons)
Basekit Changes Freddy still moves at 115% speed when placing a snare. Survivors who walk over snares now leave blood trails, regardless of health state, for 20 seconds. Freddy now has access to both snares and dream pallets in every trial and can switch between them like the Clown switches bottles. Freddy's lullaby range…
-
Freddy can fake a M1
This is something I found not too long ago, whenever I played Freddy and charged a snare sometimes survivors would dead hard for seemingly no reason, until I looked at Freddy's animations and saw his snare animation is similar to his M1, pretty much him bringing his claw hand back behind him.
-
Accidental camping
So I was playing against a swf and right after I hooked someone I kicked a gen then heard someone run in for the unhook so I went back and hit them when they unhooked and chased them for awhile before leaving the chase and doing something else. After the match I was hit with "Baby killer camp fail using Op Freddy". For one…

Killer dc's 2v8
This randomly entered my mind, what happens if one killer quits in 2v8? Is the other just left alone against 8 survivors? Because there aren't really killer bots apart from the tutorial trapper so it's not like you'd just have to play with a bot, you'd be alone as a killer.
