Will We Ever Get A "Deception"-Based Killer?
When Legion's trailers and teasers came out, a lot of people thought that they would be a Killer that could disguise themselves like Survivors to get a drop on them, and there is a lot of evidence to suggest that this was the original design intention behind Legion before they were changed for PTB/Live Servers. Til this…

2v8 Killer Queue Is Awfully Long. :(
It's so bad that Im having to play Webfishing on the side to pass the time and my friend caught a Golden Bass (0.15% chance) before we got into a game. Damn the queue is taking forever. :( Update: Literally 2-seconds, after 30-minutes of waiting, we got into a game, and I got hit with an EAC error that closed my game.…

My Issue With 2v8
I think my biggest issue with 2v8 is how Killer specific interactions got removed in favor of class specific interactions, which just kind of kills part of the fun with 2v8. Before it felt like, despite the limited Killer selection, it gave me a reason to experiment with different Killer combinations since their powers and…

Why Is The New Map Not Coming To Live Servers?
On the PTB, we got a new map, but the Developer Notes state that this map is ONLY for the PTB and will not be coming to Live Servers. I have to ask… why? Was the map scrapped and is only on the PTB since it was polished enough to be available or was scrapped much later in development for the Chapter (and we are using an…
-
Event (Rant)...
I took a break halfway through the event and Im going back to grind through all the stuff before the event ends… and it is absolutely miserable. Ive had several games where the Killer hard tunnels out a player to remove them as fast as possible, often leaving us with 1 Dead at 3 - 4 Generators remaining, and then they just…

Are "Selfish Perks" Contributing To Higher Killrates Than "Team Perks"?
Team Perks or perks that benefit the team over one's self, such as Kindred, For The People, or Leader (just to name a few), have been around for a really long time and normally (but not always) provide insane value where they are used IF they can be used. At the same time, Team Perks are only as strong as your team. Their…

"April Fools" Gamemode Idea
Last April Fools we got a new gamemode for fun and some event stuff. Specifically it was the "My Little Oni" gamemode where all Survivors were comedically small and the Killer was comedically large. Next year, I had the idea of the new gamemode just being normal DBD, but when you load into the game, it replaces the Killer…
-
What Was DBD's Best Chapter?
What I mean for "Best Chapter" is not necessary "Strongest Character/Perks" but moreso how polished the content was, the content feeling fair and balanced, and the concepting feeling well thought out. For me personally, I think All Things Wicked (Unknown and Sable Ward) was the best Chapter BHVR has ever release. The…
-
I Dont Like How New Items Are Handled...
I love the idea of introducing new items since they lead to more variety in terms of gameplay for Survivor and counter-gameplay for Killer, but the way that new items have been handled is something I dont like. First off, Firecrackers are event locked, and there is no normal equivalent to use, which just sucks since I love…
-
MMR Has Negatively Impacted The DBD Forums...
…and Im tired of pretending like it hasnt. Obviously, going forwards I must address that this is not addressing the community as a whole, moreso just a small thing Ive noticed that has overall negatively impacted the forums (at least based on personal experience). MMR, or Matchmaking Rank/Rating, is used in DBD to try and…

Fun Fact About "Haunting" In HBD
In the Haunted By Daylight event, you can obtain the ability to send out 2 Haunts as Killer. These Haunts can damage a Survivor for a health state. Haunts do not cause you to lose Save The Best For Last stacks, meaning you can use Haunts to only lose 2 (or even 0) stacks when hitting the Obsession. Welcome back "Special…

The "Mild Inconvenience" Build
You ever just look at a Generator and think "hm, how I can I make this feel worse in every single possible way"… no? Well to bad here is the build for that. Despite the name, the build is… well… not a mild inconvenience, it is dedicated to making things as awful as possible for a single player. Hex: Wretched Fate is a perk…
-
Dead Meat x DBD?
Dead Meat, or its host James A. Janisse, I feel like is a long overdue collaboration that should happen, especially after the introduction of Nicolas Cage. For those who dont know, Dead Meat is a YouTube channel that specializes in horror videos and podcasts, but they are most well known for their "Kill Count" videos,…
-
Killswitch Flashbang (+ Firecrackers)
Flashbang is bugged currently and whenever the Killer is performing a Mori, Flashbang blinds will crash the game of the Killer, force them to DC, and give them a DC Penalty for crashing. This applies to Firecrackers as well. Part of this has to do with Flashbang messing up the camera positioning since the game is unable to…

I Think BHVR Really Likes This Cosmetic
We've had this same body piece for Dwight get recolored and thrown into the Rift too many times (in my opinion). Dwight DOES have other cosmetics you can reskin, just please, anything but this one again. I beg you. :(
-
Is Slugging An Issue?
(Screenshot from Chaos Shuffle.) Slugging in DBD is the act of leaving Survivors on the ground for a prolonged period of time. Slugging, in nature, is not necessarily malicious (in most cases), there could be many reasons to slug a Survivor, rather it be to gain pressure on Survivors grouping up or to try and prevent a…

Haunted By Daylight Expectations?
Any expectations or hype this time around? Anything you want to see going forwards? Idk I feel like we kind of brushed over the whole Haunted by Daylight event and should probably talk about it now that it is around the corner.

I Finally Got It
It took me literal months to get this because my luck was that horrible. My main issue was coming across Vecna players, they have a 3% usage rate but I swear I could never find someone using Vecna. To make matters worse, even if I did, most of the time my teammates would get the Artifacts before I could, locking me out of…
-
This Should Be Standard For All Killers/Survivors
Information is important in DBD, but I think this is the perfect way of display powers in DBD. You can charge your M2 and it will show you the exact moment you are able to fully use it; while it might "clutter" the HUD a bit, I think it can be used to properly display the various actions a Killer can make with their power.…
-
Poorly Designed DBD Achievements (In My Opinion)...
Hand Eye Coordination You must play Survivor and hope that by chance your Killer just so happens to be a Vecna, this could take hours or literal days and weeks depending on your luck and is the first massive issue with this achievement. After this, you have to hope that you roll a 20. This could never happen, thus wasting…

I Dont Think This Is Right...?
Hmmm… something is wrong. I can sense it.

Pharmacy Got Gutted Over The Years...
Of all perks you see get talked about, Pharmacy is probably the perk you never heard about or cared about. Pharmacy USE to provide a constant increase to chest searching speed, and the first chest opened would give you an Emergency Medkit. In Patch 6.1.0, Pharmacy was changed to only activate while injured, but you can get…

How I Would Re-Design Skull Merchant...
Ive seen a lot of people discuss that Skull Merchant is getting reworked and how it is necessary (including myself), and Ive had a few people point out that "you say they should be re-designed, but how exactly would you re-design them?" which is a completely fair argument to make. So here is the certified "Iron" rework for…
-
How Is Vecna Now?
Back when Vecna released they were really, really good and they got some nerfs since some aspects of their power were overtuned and resulted in hits that felt unfair to most Survivors. When the nerf happened, people were saying how "this nerf will kill Vecna" and how "they will be bottom tier garbage now." Nowadays, I do…

The Perfect Opportunity For BHVR To Do A Collaboration With Warframe
In Warframe, we are REALLY, REALLY close to getting Warframe: 1999 (this is a major content update), which is Digital Extremes (the developers) attempt to modernize their original game "Dark Sector" to fit more into the Warframe lore and bridge the gap between many major story beats in the game. One of the main factions in…

Idea That Came To Me In A Dream That Seemed Really Cool
Predator is a really underwhelming perk, and recently I had a dream and it gave me a really cool idea on how to buff it. Old Effect: Scratchmarks left behind by Survivors spawn closer together. New Effect: Scratchmarks left behind by Survivors glow brighter and spawn closer together in a more continuous trail. Particles…

[PC] (Skull Merchant) Survivor Gaining "Lock On" Regardless Of The Laser Positioning Or Condition.
Description of the Issue: "Looking directly at a Survivor during an EXTREMELY slim window when they are inside a drone's radius, looking at it and moving, will give them a stack regardless of the beams' location if you time and aim it perfectly." (As explained by Pixel Bush.) Keep in mind this means the lasers from the…

Will The Casting Of Frank Stone Become A Chapter?
A serious question I asked in the past and I think it is becoming relevant again. Also Spoiler Warning for anyone playing or wanting to play The Casting of Frank Stone since I will mention some of the story here. (This is some extra text to fill in the description section to help prevent Spoilers from leaking out.) / / / /…

It Finally Happened
Running Object of Obsession, Scene Partner, Eyes of Belmont, and Alert to get the maximum value from Object, and guess what I stumble across… a Killer with Weave Attunement. Drop an item at a loop, watch as they tried to mindgame and failed, they eventually give up since all the Generators got done and they could not catch…
-
[PC] Eyes of Belmont - Infinite Aura Reading
Platform: PC Description Of The Issue: Aura reading from Eyes of Belmont does not end when used with Object of Obsession and you are not the Obsession. This seems to only happen with the first Generator, since any other Aura Reading procs fix it (including from the Eyes of Belmont itself, aka, if another Generator is…

Things Are Rough...
I really wish people were not toxic. I know not everyone is toxic, of course, and that they are a small portion of the community, but it really, really can bother me sometimes just depending on what curve balls life decide to throw towards me. Just recently (like an hour ago or so) I had a game where a group of Survivors…

What Collaboration With Musicians Would You Like To See?
We got collaborations with Slip Knot and Iron Maiden, meaning musician collaborations are not off the table going into the future. What collaborations with musicians would you love to see? I personally would love to see The Living Tombstone get a collaboration seeing how their outfits would look amazing but also they have…

Nancy, Steve, and Demogorgon Adepts Still Missing?
The Nancy, Steve, and Demogorgon Adepts were removed when the DLC License for Stranger Things was not renewed by Netflix… however we now have the Stranger Things DLC in the game, in fact, we've had it for awhile, and the Adept achievements have not returned. When will we get them back?
-
Has "Realistic" Graphics Had A Negative Effect On DBD?
I feels like once a month there is a discussion about DBD's graphics, mostly in reference to comparing how the game use to look to how it is now, and while people discuss this from a visual standpoint, I want to tackle this topic from a different perspective. As time goes on, hardware gets better, and graphically games…

Demo Main's Guide To Demogorgon
Demogorgon is a character that I really, really love, so I thought it would be a good idea to make a guide for them so new players or even experienced players can hopefully learn about aspects of Demogorgon that are not really talked about or known. Brief Explanation of Demogorgon's Power: Demogorgon has the ability to…

Dead By Daylight X Five Nights At Freddy
BHVR has confirmed that FNAF is coming in the future. Link to Twitter post: https://x.com/deadbydaylight/status/1820580582767870187?s=46 (Twitter Embeds are broken so I cannot post in embed link, only a normal link; I have provided a screenshot for those who dont want to click their link.)

How Does BHVR Handle False Reporting?
Im not talking about "The Killer tunneled me" or "The Survivor tbagged me" being reported. Im talking about players intentionally lying about what happens inside and outside of the game and using it to report players for awful things they never actually did; e.g. a streamer reporting a player for "saying (awful things) in…

My Thoughts On The 2v8 Gamemode
Before you continue reading, Id like to say that the 2v8 Gamemode definitely is designed to be more oriented towards a casual audience, and that is perfectly fine, so as a result this suggestion mostly comes from the perspective of a more "casual" place than a "competitive" place. Now that we got that out of the way, time…
-
2v8 Gamemode... What Do We Call A Killer Pre-Made?
Survivors in a pre-made are called "Survive with Friends", so is a Killer pre-made in the 2v8 Gamemode going to be called a "Kill with Friends"? Is KWF now a thing? Idk. Maybe we need to work on a term for this now! :3
-
Killer Accessibility ~ "Visualized Audio"
Awhile back we got the "Visual Terror Radius" which was a massive step forwards for DBD in terms of accessibility since it made Survivor a lot more accessible for everyone and was a massive improvement for those who have issues with hearing. DBD has a lot of audio cues that are important to playing, and while it is amazing…

[PC] Power Struggle (+ Flip Flop) Works On Already Dropped Pallets
Description I had a match where a Haddie was dead on hook and went down near a dropped pallet. I heard the pallet drop noise and them stun the Killer despite the fact that the pallet was already dropped. Throughout the match they kept doing this with already dropped pallets. I even tested the pallets to make sure that they…
-
Thoughts On The New "Im All Ears"
30 second cooldown is nice but I dont see this getting any value with Distortion being "meta". It basically acts like a free version of Dance With Me since Distortion hides Scratchmarks when Aura Reading is active on you, and I see it getting in the way of chases more than actually helping chases as a result. (Accidentally…
-
Amazing Changes To The Rift
Some things I noticed that Im surprised nobody brought up: You can now earn Iridescent Shards from the Rift. Which should provide a nice boost to new players since they can be found on the "free track" on the Rift. The Rift now continues beyond the normal amount and provides Bloodpoints on each tier, which now provides an…
-
The Game Has Become More Unfun To Play
I really want to just play a normal match of DBD but the past few weeks it has been really miserable to play DBD just because of the players I am getting matched with. Giving up is annoying and frustrating. Survivors either DC or give up on hook on their first hook, ruining my match as Survivor or just resulting in a quick…

What Is Your Worst (Old) DBD Hot Take?
As time goes on, you normally build up a lot of opinions on things, some good, some bad… though a very small portion are so horrible that they better remain forgotten… so why not dig them back up and have a laugh? What is a(n) (old) DBD hot take you have, where even in retrospect, you (yourself) even think it is bad or…

[PC] Demogorgon's Shred Doing The Pallet Break Animation On Dropped Party Pallets
DESCRIPTION Ive been playing a lot of Demogorgon (they are my main Killer) for the Anniversary to farm Bloodpoints and I noticed that if I Shred through a Party Pallet while it is being dropped, the game plays the Pallet Breaking animation instead of Shredding through the Party Pallet and hitting the Survivor. Keep in mind…

The Remote-Hook Synergy That Nobody Uses
Awakened Awareness gives you Aura Reading on Survivors within 20-meters of you while you are carrying a Survivor. With Remote-Hooking, you can carry a Survivor for 15 seconds and hook them before they wiggle off, which allows you to cover a decent portion of the map and get information regarding where Survivors are.…

Movement Speed Modifiers, Undetectable, and Aura Reading, Oh My
This might definitely be a hot take, but Im getting tired of how a lot of perks for Survivor and Killer have been over the past few months. Movement Speed is something important, the slightest modifier can make the world of difference between getting a hit or not, so which such an impact, I would expect them to be using…
