Imagine if the Legion released as a CO-OP killer.
I know Legion is probably not gonna get changed anytime soon, but now that we know the technology is in the game to allow two killers simultaneously, I am just imagining if the Legion was designed to be a proper "multiple killer" chapter. It would be a killer chapter where you would group with a friend and play as…

I can't login to my old Xbox account to Sync
Am I just out of luck? I first played DBD on Xbox in 2017. I had quite a high prestige, but I ended up losing my old Xbox while moving countries. I thought with cross progression I would be able to get all that progress back, but it's asking for me to login to the game on Xbox. I don't own an Xbox anymore, so is there just…

I will give it to BHVR, it is nice to know when your reports are successful.
I reported an Alan Wake for speedhacking a while ago, and being blatant about it. I had recorded the footage of him racing around Victor at mach 10. I haven't reported anyone else, so I know it was for this reason. Knowing that Behaviour does do their due diligence in giving consequences to cheaters makes me more willing…
-
Literally had a bunch of survivors defending a cheater just because I was playing Twins in live.
What a sad world we live in, and reporting does nothing to stop this. I hate this so much. People really think that people who cheat in video games deserve to play the game more just because they don't like one killer.

A Freddy rework that would be thematic while still having counter play for survivors.
I had this idea floating around for a while, as an old Freddy main who has stopped playing him as much, I really miss how unique he used to feel. Nowadays Freddy is quite mediocre, having basically no power for the first minute of the game until he finds and hits a survivor. This rework aims to address this, by giving him…
-
Is there any rationale for the reason on changing (i.e butchering) Hag's trigger range addons?
I know not many people play hag, but a big reason why these add-ons are so good is because of a technique called camera swing. When a survivor activates a trap, the game forces a survivor's camera to face the phantasm. This is a strong effect because if a survivor is holding W, it means that if you position your traps…
-
"You can't force people to play the game" When did this become so popular of a saying?
Seriously, ever since the bots were released, I have heard so many players parroting this. I admit, the game has unfun issues, things that need to be addressed. Things that are unfun to play against. But when did everyone decide that it suddenly okay to DC? Why is Dead by Daylight the only game I know that this has…
-
For the People Nerf...
Saw this in the patch notes today: Now don't get me wrong, I agree this is a good change, since I've run this pairing before and it was kinda BS for the killer, but why are they saying "incorrectly"? Both perks were doing exactly as described, healing a health state with FTP makes you injured, and MFT gives you endurance…
-
After months of grinding as solo survivor, I finally have the "Outbreak Breakout" achievement.
I've been going for 100% achievements in this game for a while, and this was the last one I had to achieve for a long time. I started actively trying to get this achievement early last christmas, as it was one of 3 achievements I had left to earn at the time. It was painful, so unbearably painful. The amount of survivors I…
-
Anyone try playing Twins on PTB? I imagine it is horrible.
I really thought that the Twins would be receiving an update this patch, as they have not been touched in months. Instead there is a new basekit unbreakable on the one killer that is more likely to slug, not because they want to, but because the game tries to make it as clunky as possible to go pick up and hook a survivor…
-
Hackers are becoming endemic to this game, and its getting tiresome...
Just finished a match with a teleporting, insta flashing survivor who hooked themselves to stop me hooking other players. I didn't take the match seriously after that and ended up just messing around, but this hacker bragged that they are unbannable with multiple accounts, and have been playing for 3 months: I recorded…

What is the maths behind STBFL in the newest patch?
Was debating this with somebody elsewhere than the forums. The wiki claims that at 8 stacks, the cooldown duration is 1.62 seconds. Which fits the maths if STBFL is reducing the total duration of the attack cooldown: 2.7 x (1.0 - 0.4) = 1.62 seconds But I do not 100% trust fandom wikis, as while DBD's wiki has been…
-
Can't struggle against chain while Deathslinger has Speared me.
Platform: PC I am using a mouse and keyboard with default bindings for survivor. When Deathslinger spears me, struggling against the chain doesn't register properly, as if my inputs are not being detecting that I'm pushing against the chain. This means I will not break out before he can hit me. I haven't had another match…
-
Why people think "The Thing" is impossible to be added because of SWFs.
First of all, I'll preface this by stating that if The Thing was added, yes they would need something else in addition to disguising as survivors as that would not be enough on its own. Anytime this discussion comes up, people immediately say that it would never fool SWFs. realistically though, it would just be a better…
-
Does Call of Brine affect multiple gens?
I like the idea of this perk but the description is very vague about if it only affects one gen at a time or not.
-
Just had two survivors DC for being a "mapping" Pinhead. That's a new one.
Load into a match this morning as Pinhead. I've learned how to find the box at the start of the match after watching some content creators, so I guess where the survivors spawned and yup I manage to find the box and start the chain hunt early. Immediately, one survivor DCs, and then a second one DC's while I'm chasing…
-
Some healthy QOL Changes to Twins.
Just some quick buffs (and a couple nerfs) to Twins that I want to share, that would require barely extra work or coding because the mechanics are already in place and just need tweaking: Tap the primary power button to unbind Victor in front of you. Press and hold the primary power button to simultaneously unbind and take…
-
The more I play Twins the more I want this one change.
Giving players the ability to swap between Victor and Charlotte at any time during cooldowns would make them feel so much more fluid and smooth. I hate the long down times between attacks, and it makes Twins feel so sluggish. Sure keep the 5 second cooldown for downing as Victor, whatever. If you could switch back to…
-
I love the new Resonance Perk.
Scourge Hook: Resonance is such a great perk in my eyes. I absolutely despise Pop since I hate kicking gens, and Pop forces you to kick gens to get value from it, not to mention you usually have to decide between starting a new chase vs getting value from Pop. Anyways, for just 5% less regression than Pop, you can just…
-
So what's the best way to deal with the new Boon Totems as killer?
Just had a miserable match trying out Michael's T2 wall hack addon and got creamed because the new boon totem blocks auras. I was completely thrown off by my gameplan not working and had no idea what to do. What is the best way to go about the totems? Only look for them when you know for certain where they are, or dedicate…
-
Vaults and pallet throws should give Survival BP, not Boldness.
I'm almost certain this is a bug honestly, but yeah the Boldness category as survivor is extremely bloated and easy to max out, while its really difficult to gain the 3000bp needed to max out survival, and that includes the 5000 from escaping. Pallet stuns should still reward boldness, since you are being riskier to wait…
-
Is Tentacle recovery faster than a basic attack recovery?
I've been playing a lot of Nemesis and dealing with the "hold W" meta has been interesting. Nemesis' Tentacle cooldown is 2.5 seconds long, hit or whiff. So similar to Huntress, I've been aiming for "M2 into M1" to try and down people quickly and it seems to actually be working pretty well! According to the wiki, a basic…
-
Would it be too much or not enough to make Myers 110% in T1?
Myers currently has the worst early game right now due to his slow speed, and his stealth is pretty much a hindrance instead of a boon. You can't even avoid Spinechill by looking away because you need to stare directly at people to get out of T1. I really believe Myers is the most in need of an update, the only thing he…
-
Can we please let Myers' Tombstone addons work on people who are downed?
Honestly never really cared about these addons until i started going for the achievement again on PC. I was lucky to get it when Michael was first released on Xbox in 2018, but now even if you do manage to get to T3 and the game isn't over somehow, survivors will actively make sure that you will NEVER get the achievement…
-
Anyone know the mouse sensitivity values?
I'm trying to standardise my sensitivity across all my games and when it was DBD's turn I realised I have no idea what the percentage slider means. Is it multiplying my mouse DPI by the percentage? Is it just aim acceleration? I have absolutely no idea. Also a slider for Deathslinger would be nice as well please.
-
What if Spirit straight up just disappeared and didn't leave a husk while phasing?
A lot of the pain of facing spirit comes from not being able to tell if she is using her power. Would just making her straight up invisible be a decent way to remove this problem? The way I play spirit I tend to not care about hiding my phasing and just trying to predict where the survivors will be and cut them off, so…
-
Why is the options menu arbitrarily blocked while searching for a match?
Sometimes I want to adjust my audio while matchmaking but then get rudely reminded that apparently I'm not allowed to look in the settings while matchmaking is happening. This baffles me, why is this a thing. It's not even locked properly, since you can just switch to another survivor and boom, I can browse the options…
-
How strong would the Oblivous effect be if it was buffed to hide the red stain?
I thought it would be interesting if Oblivious was buffed tp removed the ability for survivors to see the red stain, and how it would affect the killers with it in their kits: Demogorgon would have an easier time sneaking up on survivors sealing portals. Charlotte would be able to tag team with Victor and mindgame…
-
Make it so survivors can't hear Demogorgon teleporting.
for the killer that introduced the "undetectable" status to the game, Demorgon is pretty terrible of using it. Whenever he teleports, he announces to everyone from Nancy to the Mindflayer that he is now going to attempt to sneak up on you. What is even the point of having stealth if you are just gonna give everyone a…
-
I thought of a way to change Freddy to promote survivors to use the available counterplay he has.
Believe it or not, Freddy has counterplay by waking up, and a survivor who constantly stays awake is really annoying for him to deal with as an M1 killer. Skill checks are pretty common, and if you are about to fall asleep you can try to position yourself in the middle of the map so that the clock spawns a shorter distance…
-
New Clown is fun, but a few adjustments would be nice...
I actually do think new Clown is pretty strong, and his new buffs have really solidified his identity as a killer who is all about chasing and routing survivors. He is now clearly stronger than Freddy in a chase, as you can't just abandon the loops as easily like you do against Freddy's snares. The only thing I dislike is…
-
Tips on dealing with Shack in 2021?
I 'member long time ago, Shack wasn't too difficult to deal with, just do one or two red glow mindgames and they will be close enough to hit if they don't drop god pallet. But since they sped up Medium vaults as well as making it possible to fast vault the window while Standing STILL (ugh this makes me irrationally angry)…
-
DS shouldn't trigger on Self Unhooks.
Since DS triggers after being unhooked, is it fair to assume that survivors can still trigger it with Deliverance, or Slipper Meat or just plain luck? Here's a scenario that happens infrequently but enough to know exactly how it pans out every time: Hook 1 survivor. Survivor 2 bumrushes hook (usually with BT but not…
-
So complaining about scroll wheel hags is a new one...
Been playing a few hag matches today and in every single one of my games I've had people upset about hags using scroll wheel to TP, saying its "unfair", "braindead", or outright "cheating". People literally calling me scum on earth for using my mouse to teleport so they can't dodge... ...but I'm actually an 'Alt Key' gamer…
-
The Twins feel like their kit is incomplete, Charlotte needs more substance.
There is a lot of complaints about the Twins right now, and even though they are not considered by some to be strong (I disagree), it mostly boils down to the fact that all their power is front loaded into Victor, while Charlotte has very little going for her. Because Victor can't hook survivors, every time he gets a down,…
-
High or medium Sensitivity for Curve Billy?
I'm been playing a lot of Billy right now and am trying to learn the best way to curve around 90 degree walls and the like. I've watched OhTofu's guide and he recommends max sensitivity, but I find that I tend to spaz since I'm not sure how far I need to move my mouse. I feel this is mostly due to how vague the settings…
-
Why are survivors vaulting at me?
I'm almost certain this is a fad some streamer started, but recently I get a ton of survivors vaulting at me after they stun me. Since I run enduring this pretty much gives me a free down, so I'm curious to know what its trying to achieve, and whom to blame in my solo queue games for when my teammates decide to kill…
-
They finally fixed some killers' lobby animations, huzzah!
A few killers in the pre-game lobby have had bugged lobby animations for a while; Wraith, Hillbilly, Huntress, and Doctor have been sharing their idle animation with the Trapper, who slowly looks from left to right. This bug has been in the game for nearly 2 years, and I have never seen anyone talk about this bug other…
-
Two quick changes to Hex: Undying.
While I personally don't mind Hex perks since I run Detective's Hunch, A lot of people struggle with dealing with this perk. So here are a few nerfs that I propose: Auras are revealed only when the survivor is actively cleansing a hex totem. Survivors are notified when they destroy a totem that Hex:Undying is in play, and…
-
Stop trying to hold Victor "hostage". It doesn't work.
After putting alot of time into the twins and against them, I've noticed a large amount of survivors who still think it is a smart idea to try and "deny" Charlotte of her brother. This tactic is terrible and people need to stop doing it. If you decide to not remove Victor from your shoulders, all you are doing is basically…
-
Breakable walls should provide killers with meaningful choices, like Midwich.
The Macmillan rework has brought with it new breakable walls, and unfortunately the implementation of these has been poorly received by a fair amount of people, for good reason. Most of these walls seem to have been placed just for the purpose of having a wall, while others have reintroduced infinites to strong loops, Some…
-
Anyone found these "unknown" effects on killer powers yet?
The new event addon hints that it might have an additional effect on some killers, has anyone found out what these could be? So far on the killers I've played it seems to just be the same as the Blight's regular rush. it would be interesting to see what else it can do however.
-
Change to Pyramid Head does nothing but annoy both sides, great work devs.
I've been playing a few matches as Pyramid Head and I can attest that the slight delay to his power accomplished nothing more than frustrate me as I try to go around laying trails across the map. It makes him feel clunky and unrefined, while doing nothing to change the lose/lose situations that people complain about.…
-
I gave up against Spirit and I'm not proud of it, please give some advice.
So I'm going for the "No Mither" challenge in the archives, but get frustrated after getting spirit twice in a row. The first match wasn't too bad, but I got caught in chase very quickly. The next match I got matched against the same Stridor Spirit who knew I wasn't running Decisive Strike and relentlessly tunneled me into…
-
Console Survivors, please at least try the crossplay...
I'll start this off by quickly addressing console killers. The latest patch has really poor framerate for you that drops below 30fps, so I understand if you opt out of crossplay, this post isn't for you. But for you survivors, please give crossplay a chance. you are NOT at a huge disadvantage going against PC killers. With…
-
New Deathslinger sound effect added?
I faced a Deathslinger today and noticed that while he was aiming his gun at me, a stinger effect started playing as a warning. Honestly it isn't much and I'm not sure what the quirks around it are yet; if it plays only in chase, at a certain range etc. I'm suprised this wasn't mentioned in the patchnotes, which leads me…
