What is the counterplay in chases against Xeno?
So, I am requesting help here because I am afraid I do not understand what are you supposed to do against a Xeno when you are being chased. If you hold W you get hit, if you vault a window you get hit, if you go for pallets you get hit, if you try to loop him you get hit. Turrets aren't available every single time, and…

Dracula's Castle looks good on Backwater Swamp
Just a little something I wanted to share here: This was actually my first time playing against Dracula on Backwater Swamp, and I think his castle looks good here. I guess generally speaking his castle is a good contribution to the horror atmosphere, and this realm is the only one who still has the original DBD style (even…

If players aren't going to interact with the event...
...Why do they choose the event queue? So, I would like to promote a little discussion here and try to understand why this is happening during the last few days of the event. This has genuinely caused me a distressing level of frustration. I was and still am really, really happy with this event and it has been the most fun…

Nothing worse than DBD crashing at the worst moment possible
So, earlier today I got a daily ritual to kill one survivor as Freddy. I tried to go for Devour Hope because I wanted to use an event offering instead of a Mori... totem barely lasts, of course. Coldwind Farm has some really bad totem spots. I played the rest of the match and made one hell of an effort to stop those gens,…

What do you think the Freddy rework will be?
So, a thread made by fellow Forum member @ArkInk featured a recently conducted Slasher Radio interview with Mathieu Cote, and towards the end of video Cote is asked about the Freddy rework. Here it is, the moment they talk about Freddy can be found at 56:38 And well… as Cote himself said, it is indeed a generic response. I…

No Freddy changes until 2025?
Well, that is unexpectedly disappointing… I've already waited 5 years. What is one more, right? …Right?

Nightmare: An Idea For A Freddy Change (Again)
Greetings, survivors, killers, and both-siders of the Fog! I hope this thread finds you doing well. Thanks for joining me today. So, Freddy Krueger is currently trending around here. Unfortunately, it is not for a good reason. This poor killer, my favorite character in the game, is completely ruined. And this situation…

Freddy not playable in Lights Out... again
Now here is something I was really hoping would not happen again. I guess not even five years of seeing the game I loved slowly disappear was enough to teach me what to expect. So, if you weren't around for the first time Lights Out was available, let me explain the situation: Freddy wasn't playable. Literally the only…

Finally, P100 Freddy!
It was a hell of a journey, but I did it!

The Unknown's Cosmetics and an Appeal to the Devs
So, the Unknown has barely released and we are already seeing cases of it being used for transphobia, as described on a recent thread by @Iron_Cutlass : I understand this thread of mine is perhaps being written earlier than necessary, after all at the time this is being written we've received no official word from BHVR.…

Hillbilly, Sadako and the concerns for a potential Freddy change
So, the January 2024 Developer Update has dropped today, and with it came changes to Hillbilly and Sadako which were not included on the PTB. And long story short? While Hillbilly was done extremely right, Sadako was done extremely wrong. Even before the PTB was available I was already pretty happy with the direction they…

Merged: Why is Freddy literally unplayable in Lights Out?

Fellow Freddy players, do you feel powerless sometimes?
I know there aren't many of us left, but I wanted to ask this question to those who still main / play Freddy. Tonight has been a bit difficult for me as a Freddy main, I had a streak of bad games. And on some of those games I felt like I was playing a killer that completely lacks a power. Between generators being completed…

Will these players be punished? Boil Over on Ironworks of Misery
So, I just had a match where 2 survivors with Boil Over equipped would constantly run to the upper room on Ironworks of Misery where it was impossible to get them on a hook afterwards. At least not with the hooks I had available on that match. And I was unable to just slug them due to the presence of No Mither on one of…

Recover on Hook?
Yes game, this was a hell of a hook. I really don't know whether to take chance to unhook or recover.

An Extremely Specific Request (GeneralV's Glass Splinter)
I was going through some old threads earlier today, and I got reminded of a rather unfortunate situation from before the Prestige change, that I kinda wanted to fix. But since it is impossible to do so, I decided to ask the developers a little favor: Can you go to my Freddy's Bloodweb and spawn a single Glass Splinter on…

The need for access to the old maps is rising
There have been some discussions recently regarding the horror aspect (or lack of one) in Dead by Daylight. And whenever one of those discussions pops up, the maps are also mentioned. And for good reason! The maps are the very heart of the horror atmosphere. And when that heart stops beating well... we look at you,…

The answer to Freddy is Sadako and her next changes
During the recent Reddit AMA, there was a particular question that got my attention: Q: Hi, thanks to the dev team for making this Q&A possible! When the first Sadako rework hit the live servers, a lot of Onryō mains were very vocally upset about the huge changes in how her powers work, requiring players to shift to…

Do you ever use Hex: The Third Seal?
I decided to equip this perk just for giggles when a group of survivors sent me to Backwater Swamp, the only realm in the game that I still enjoy. And believe it or not, this perk came in clutch. Four kills, and people stayed on the hooks for quite some time. Blocking aura-reading can be powerful. Do you ever use this…
