Are vault hits super generous for anyone else?
I know Killers can hit over windows, but sometimes I'll be over a vault for almost a full second, and I still get hit anyway. Wesker especially seems to get ridiculous hits at windows, like I'll be over the vault and he'll still manage to grab me. Does this happen to you guys?

Not a fan of the forum changes. Please revert.
What was wrong with the old design? They removed comment count and view count next to posts? Why??? That allowed me to see which posts were most active and what people were most interested in discussing. Huge downgrade in terms of user experience. I really hope this update is not permanent.

Wiretap is incredibly fun to use!
-Gives you wallhacks in a local area, which is obviously really good. -33% of a gen is easy to get (buff Blast Mine please..) -Killers don't expect it because there's no indication you have it outside of a hunch. Also, I feel like your average sweaty Survivor won't be running Wiretap. -It's a win-win situation. Either they…

How often do you use Styptic Agent?
Despite being arguably the best Survivor add-on, I find I hardly use it at all. I liken it to old Moris, where it could easily swing a game if used properly, especially on multiple Survivors. So to me it feels way too strong to run. How about you guys? Do you unabashedly run the best stuff like Styptic? Or do you keep it…

The PUBG event is so hilariously janky
-Matches can start without a full lobby. Welcome back 3v1s. -Gens can spawn 5 feet from each other. -Pallets spawning in weird places. Multiple pallets next to each other. (Also the Killer has a gun, so pallets don't really matter). -Big dead zones. -Awkward animations. My character repaired a gen from 2 feet away. Looks…

Is STBFL optimal on Nemesis?
Some people think it's his best perk because he can easily save stacks. Also, there are some situations where you can't get a whip hit and have to M1 anyway. Others say to avoid it because it can condition you to M1 instead of whip more often, and if you're not using the whip, then you might as well play any other Killer.…

Is Windows of Opportunity optimal? (Solo Queue)
Believe it or not, I haven’t unlocked Kate up to this point because I don’t care for her perks. But recently, I’ve seen some discussion around Windows and how it lessens the unpredictability of solo queue. Knowing in advance if a pallet has been dropped or not is pretty good tbh, and since the cooldown was removed it’s no…
-
Lethal Pursuer is a bit over-tuned, no?
It was already a powerful perk before the recent buff, particularly on Nurse and Blight. Now I’d argue it’s so good that you’re handicapping yourself by not using it. I’ve been using Distortion to counter it, but it doesn’t do much when I spawn next to other Survivors who don’t have it. What do you think? Did Lethal…

Show teammates’ perks in pause screen
One of the biggest differences between solo and SWF is build info. Knowing what perks your team has dramatically increases efficiency. However, displaying perks in lobby would potentially be abused by dodging. So, my solution is to show perks in the pause screen. This way you must load into the match first, but Survivors…
-
Small Head On buff
Head On is arguably the weakest exhaustion perk because you spend 1 of the 3 seconds of stun in the locker animation. So you get less distance on the Killer compared to any other exhaustion. Additionally, you need to pair it with Quick & Quiet to actually use it reliably. Head On is unusable in chase without it. So on top…

Can we stop rushing the easy gens first?
Example: The Saloon gen on Dead Dawg. Without fail, my teammates do that gen early and basically hand the victory to the Killer because the rest of the gens are close together. This way my biggest reason for hating Hawkins Laboratory. There were 2 gens on the upper floors, and every match they'd get done first. Then the…

Why is Leatherface so popular lately?
Bubba hasn't received any changes since patch 4.1.0. Yet his pick rate has been on the rise in recent months (in my games anyway). Is it just because he's good at face-camping? I feel like he started becoming more common when Boons were introduced. So now many Killers feel they have to resort to camping instead of…

Feeling nostalgic for the Balanced Landing days
Remember when Balanced Landing eliminated fall stagger with no cooldown? Ah man, that effect was so good you almost had to run it. The 3 second burst of speed was just icing on the cake. Nowadays I don't see Balanced Landing anymore, which is kinda sad. I would almost trade away the burst of speed just for the infinite…

Why can't Killers choose their Hex spawn?
If Survivors can pick which totem to use their Boon on, Killers should be able to do the same with Hexes, no? 90% of the time when my Hex gets cleansed early it's due to a terrible spawn, like right next to a gen or in the open. It seems pretty unfair to allow such flexibility for one side and not the other. Especially…
-
Best Hellraiser perk?
Deadlock - Capable of slowing the early game gen rush, which is generally considered a powerful ability. Tired of having 2 gens pop 1 minute into the match? Use this. Hex: Plaything - This perk will be insane on indoor maps. Totems are already generally hard to find, and Oblivious is crippling when you can't see the Killer…

Speedhackers in multiple matches this morning
Deleted the clip because I didn't censor names. Anyone else run in to hacks a lot lately? I was just trying to play a few games this morning and had them both ruined to speedhackers.

Brutal Strength should be at least 30%
20% faster break speed just isn't impactful enough for a perk slot. Breaking a pallet takes like 1.5 seconds, and kicking a gen takes even less. 20% of that is extremely tiny. Look, I get that it was nerfed when the base speed for kicking was buffed. But a ton of changes have happened since then, and a ton of better perks…

Please don’t use clickbait titles!
Perhaps I’m the only one bothered by this, but a huge amount of posts on here use clickbait tactics. Stuff like: “Can we all agree on this?” or “Why hasn’t this been fixed yet!?” or “Does anyone else...” are lame and uninformative titles. Surely we all learned in English class that you should always clearly state your…

At this point, toxicity just makes me laugh
And you all should laugh too. I get it - this game can get competitive at times. But take a step back and recognize this is just a casual game meant for fun. Yeah, fun! You all remember what fun used to feel like! In a twisted sort of way, I welcome toxicity if only to point and laugh. It's one of those things about DBD…

1,000th Post: A Thank You to the Community
Hey there! I'm sure you don't know me, but I just want to thank everyone who's been a part of the discussions I've had on here. There's something that keeps me coming back to these forums that I can't quite put my finger on... From the bounds of controversy, to the wholesome meme-rs, to just your average discussion about…

Fun fact about Plague
If an item has been dropped by a Survivor, you can puke on it! I was watching a stream and the Killer puked on a key someone dropped so he could know if another Survivor picked it up or not. Somehow I didn't know this after so long, so I figured I'd share it here.

Rank Reset
Logged on this morning to see my rank reset from 4 to.... 5. Am I the only one that thinks old rank reset was better? I'm guessing they figured too many former red rank players were facing noobs at rank 10? But really it's only moved the problem to red ranks. Now it's practically impossible to get away from high ranks with…

Playing SWF really is like playing a completely different game
I'm sure you've all read this a thousand times before, but I just got done with a 10-hour sesh with my buddy (he only has about 200 hours or so in), and I just wanted to share a few thoughts. I've got a few thousand hours of solo queue under my belt, and playing with a partner is just damn FUN. I know many of us have come…

Why future DLC should not have Survivors
I'll just be blunt about it, Survivors are all the same; therefore, they bring no new game mechanics with them. The Killer is what we all really care about. Killers want to use their new mechanics, and Survivors want to play against those new mechanics. So how about we just get rid of the fluff? Instead of adding yet…

Kicking a gen should regress it instantly by some amount
I'm sure this has been suggested before, but this seems like such a simple thing to implement. Have a gen regress immediately by 2-5% when damaged. This would give incentive for Killers to actually kick gens (since many Killers don't kick at all unless they have Pop or Surveillance). It would also solve the issue of gen…

Estimated Queue Time!
About a year or so ago, DBD briefly had the feature of estimated queue time for both Killer and Survivor. Then one day it was removed without reason... Pls BHVR, bring this feature back. It's so helpful to know which queues are longer or shorter. You could even implement a small point bonus for picking the slower queue to…

Simple fix for Bloodlust
-Remove tier 2 and 3 only. or -Keep all tiers but reduce the speed boost per stack by half (from .2 to .1m/s per stack). I personally don't think it should be removed entirely. I can already hear the Benny Hill chase music in the distance...

Using a Sacrificial Ward is like playing the lottery
9/10 times there's no map offering anyway, so it's completely wasted. Why would I ever use this over a bloodpoint offering? Or a map offering of my own? Or a Mori? It just doesn't make sense. And even if you manage to get lucky and cancel a map offering, guess what? You can still get the map they wanted due to RNG. It's…

I love giving hatch
There's nothing like having the last Survivor dead to rights and letting them live to tell the tale. Really I just enjoy being a good sportsman and seeing thanks in the chat instead of hate. I don't always show mercy, but if a Survivor has a funny moment or memes around with me a bit (like head nodding or booping the…

Hag with Mint Rag + MYC
I encountered this very rare combo today! So I have to ask you guys: what is a Survivor to do against this? Even if you crouch to avoid the trap, Hag can teleport anyway. The only option seems to be a flashlight to destroy the trap at the hook. But even if you're lucky enough to have one, she can set a second trap nearby.…

Missing the DC penalty already
Your experience may vary, but I'm already seeing an uptick in DCs. There's even a bunch of people saying the penalty should be removed forever, and I just don't understand this mentality. It seems many players love the freedom to leave when they have a bad start or when it's a killer/map they don't like. But quite frankly,…

Tier List After 1K Hours of Solo Queue
Notes: It should be stated that any killer can 4k and can be played up to rank 1. Billy/Spirit: This has been endlessly debated, and it really comes down to preference. Billy has map pressure and mobility. Spirit trades map pressure for the ability to ignore loops. Whoever you choose, these two are clearly in a league of…

I Miss Old Hex: Ruin
I loved old Ruin because it made skill checks actually take skill. Doings gens is so ridiculously mundane, and as a long time player, I wish there were more opportunities for skill expression as Survivor. I fully understand why Ruin needed to be changed. Ultimately it was a good decision for the sake of balance. But…

Hook is misplaced when a Survivor is hooked
Platform: PC Been happening for awhile now. When hanging on the hook, the Survivor will be displaced and not centered on the hook.

Billy's add-ons are still abysmal
I'm glad the overheat mechanic is being tweaked, but 90% of the add-ons are still not very helpful (especially the iridescents), and some are pure meme add-ons (Mother's Helper's). Now look, I'm happy insta-saw is gone, but nothing worthwhile has really been added. The best add-ons are probably the heat reduction ones, and…

The new add-ons are underwhelming
Charge time has always been the supreme stat for Hillbilly and Leatherface, and it seems it will continue to be. None of the new add-ons made me think, "This would be worth it over Carb Tuning Guide, Thompson's Mix/The Grease, or Primer Bulb." Hillbilly's Iridescent is a glorified speed limiter! And I'll have to burn 7k BP…

MMR, SWF, and "Fairness"
In the dev post about matchmaking, the word "fairness" is thrown around a lot. And yet, SWF is not mentioned even once. If an MMR system is introduced, obviously 4-man SWF teams will be the highest MMR because they have inherent advantages that solo players do not. Is this not seen as a problem? I don't understand how you…

Survivors not using perks?
I've noticed an influx of Survivors going perkless in my solo queue games lately. At first I wrote it off as veterans giving themselves an extra challenge. But now I'm seeing it every couple of matches in red ranks. Is there some inside joke going around I'm not aware of?

What's the consensus on BBQ + Pop?
With patch 4.0.0 coming up, let's take a look back at patch 3.0.0! Pop was buffed from 30 seconds to 60 seconds, propelling it's use to the top of the meta overnight. I'd guess there's a 75% chance of seeing Pop + BBQ regardless of what Killer it is, but especially on Billy and Freddy (makes them super oppressive imo). So…

It's pretty easy to avoid Pyramid Head's Torment
Everybody is complaining he can avoid DS, BT, etc. This is only if he can get you Tormented in the first place... In most of the gameplay I've watched from the PTB, Survivors simply aren't playing around his trails whatsoever. If you see him leaving a trail at a loop, you can just run to the next loop while he's slowed. He…

Is it possible to know the Killer before the match starts?
I joined a lobby with a player who claimed to know the Killer was Spirit, and so they were gonna leave but the Killer dodged. Then, the player claimed to know the next Killer was Deathslinger (and he ended up being right). Is there some hack to know what Killer it is? I guess it's possible they were stream sniping multiple…

Chases VS. Deathslinger
Anyone else feel he's lacking counter-play? The ADS time is so short, I'll get hit if I try to dodge because he can just fake the shot and M1 (Most Killers know to do this now). It's almost like VS. Spirit where you have to take a 50/50 guess based on basically no feedback. I know, I know, just rush the gens against him…

Map Suggestion: Add Water!
Wouldn't it be cool to have a stream you could run across, or a river section you could wade through? I was just thinking some maps are the perfect aesthetic for water sections, like Yamaoka could have a Koi Pond area or something. We know there are water assets available because Plague's fountains use water. What do you…

Stuck in Killer's Grasp
Platform: PC Description: The Killer grabbed me off a generator and I was stuck on his shoulder for the remainder of the trail (could not wiggle). The Killer was not able to drop me, hook me, or anything else but attack. Steps to reproduce: Get grabbed off a generator by a Myers in Tier 3 (?) How often: This is the first…
