So Dracula and the Entity walk into a bar...
While discussing the terms of his participation in the trials, Dracula muses to pit his best vs. The Killers under the Entity's control. Which 6 do you put forward as the Avengers/Suicide Squad/Warriors of EntityRealm to represent all of DBD?

Fellow Killers: Don't be greedy!
Good day fellow Ladies and Gentlemen of murder! Seeing a lot of doom and gloom through the forums about the reduction in gen regression in 8.0.0... and looking at individual changes some things look harsh... but I would encourage everyone to look at the big picture. Killer have been eating well Killers have had a lot of…

Anyone noticed perk listings missing in end game screen?
I just had a game where the Steve had Head On, and yet in the end game screen he had no perks listed. Raised a bug for it here, with a video showing me getting hit by it: I've seen this a couple of times now, but this was the first time I knew for a fact the survivor had a perk in play. I suspected possibly a hacker, but…

Just a pleasant stroll hand in hand through Badham

PS5 - No perks listed in end game bug?
Summary I've seen a few people now with no perks listed, but I just assumed they were going for the Power Moves... but in this game I got hit by head on from the Steve, but no perks were listed for him the end game screen. I have no idea how you'd reproduce this... maybe its some kinda platform issue?

Genuine question for help vs. Blight (even after nerfs)
This thread I will whine a little... but its not intended to whine, I know this is a skill issue, and I genuinely want to know where I'm going wrong/what it is I'm missing, and what my goal is to improve. So I have made it to about 1200 hrs in this game and learned a lot over that time. I've watched a lot of content…

PS5 - Pyramid Head shadow lost his head
Summary When playing Pyramid Head, on all maps it seems that his shadow is missing his head. Steps Pick Pyramid Head as killer. Play any map that casts shadows, such as Coldwind, Nostromo Wreckage, etc. Look at shadow.

Discussion: What do we want if a Twins rework is still on the cards?
Obviously BHVR had to walk back on the Twins changes, and with the changes made they are still basically themselves as they were, but just better. However Peanits left us a note that a Twins rework my still be on the horizon. We may revisit The Twins in a future update, if necessary, but these smaller tweaks will make The…

Desperation: Survivor Basekit Anti Slug Mechanic
Proposal When in the dying state, once a survivor has reached maximum recovery, they can hold the sprint button to enter "desperation" while crawling. They crawl 50% faster. Grunts of pain are 50% louder. Increases the rate they bleedout by 200%. Their bleedout bar on HUD starts blinking to indicate they are desperation…

The DBD Board Game: Anyone tried it?
I wanted to put this in an appropriate forum section... but doesn't feel right in off topic, and none of the other groups makes much sense either... so hopefully this thread doesn't get moved? In any case, has anyone tried the board game for Dead By Daylight by Level 99 Games? I've been pretty damned impressed with it,…

Should Xeno be able to stand up?
I play pretty much all killers to varying degrees. Some of them resonate with me more, some less, but I will usually flick between them dependent on my mood. I like Xeno a lot, and enjoy playing them and want to play them more…. but every time I play them, I get really frustrated in crawler mode at the number of tiles I…

Boons Buff: Different ranges, smallest range takes priority
I was thinking about boons, and one major problem in both creating new boons and balancing them is they're all limited by the 24m range, making some of them pretty useless (Dark Theory is a major front runner), but simultaneously can't be increased due to boons like Circle of Healing and Exponential potentially becoming…

PS5: Nemesis Tentacle doesn't trigger Game Afoot
Description When breaking pallets in chase with Nemesis tentacle, Game Afoot does not proc. (99% sure this worked before). Steps Play killer as Nemesis. Add Game Afoot to loadout. Get your tier 2 whip. Find and chase the obsession. When the drop a pallet, break it with the tentacle whip. Game Afoot will not proc. Repeat by…

So I rewatched NoES 2010... Dream Snares could be much cooler...
With the number of threads talking about Freddy, I decided to rewatch the Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 remake. I know the original films quite well, but only watched this film once. I recalled that I didn't like it much, but couldn't really remember why. On a rewatch, it's actually much better than I remember... there are…

Designing a workable Invocations Template
The concept of Invocations is really cool, but with this current template they will always be unusable. The current template atm is: 2 minutes solo Without Invocations (2-4) 80-48 seconds With Invocations (2-4) 60-30 seconds This has the major issue of taking way too long for any benefits it could possibly give, and with…

The Prevalence of Tunnelling?
When he put out the poll, I was wondering what the results would be... Scott cooked in this video imo... Pretty much exactly my experience with the game. I rarely see genuine tunneling... and was always confused to hear its a problem all the time and/or its the only things killers can do to win in high MMR or it happens…
-
The Great Chest/Luck Rework
Why rework chests? Chests are something that I definitely believe should be in DBD... they allow clutch moments in SoloQ, such as finding a medkit to heal yourself before heading to gate, or finding a key to get out through hatch when all other options are exhausted... however the inescapable truth is that 99% of the time,…

2 Absolute Must Survivors in DBD
I'll be expecting great perks like: You've Got Red on You Dogs Can Look Up! Safe and Secure And not forgetting of course: No! Cock It! Where Can I Smoke? I Don't Mind Being Eaten… Make it happen BHVR.

An intriguing Nurse suggestion I overheard (with QoL improvements for her)
With the Blight looking at being clipped even more, it becomes evident that of all killers, the Nurse now becomes the standout front runner top tier killer by quite a sizable margin… limitless potential, only hindered by the killer players skill and precision. Nurse however does have this annoying problem, where because…

Discussing the popularity of Pain Res and Pop (and GE)
With the new stats having been posted, both Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance and Pop Goes The Weasel are far more popular than most other perks... with its buffs we all expect GE to do the same. I want to first state that I feel like both of these perks are in a good place and don't really need a nerf IMO... but there is a…

How would you rework the Shrine of Secrets?
A common thread of the Decisive Strike debate is the discussion regarding a good anti tunnel perk being stuck behind a paywall. This is a fair point, but not exactly true...because there is the shrine of secrets. The problem is, the shrine is pretty useless, and very much needs an overhaul. It very rarely has the perks you…
-
Twins Rework: Make counterplay kicks around Victor's pounce ready state!
I am embracing the new direction of Twins to reduce slugging by allowing Victor to bounce around wounding everyone before going for a down. This is a good direction with the right intent... The obvious problem is that this allows survivors to kick Victor after wounding a survivor... punishing Victor for landing a hit, so…

When an attempt to keep you hostage backfires...
So I was playing Trapper yesterday, and as the match started I saw an offering for Badham... initially I thought "Oh crud Badham... here we go, this'll be rough", only to find 2 Sables running No Mither... Initially I was confused, wondering if this was some Weaving Spiders shenanigans or something... I checked main for…
-
An idea to rework (buff?) Lightborn!
I've always been against the hard counter nature of Lightborn and just straight up removing flashlights from the game... it's especially annoying with regards to the challenges to blind the killer while carrying a survivor, but as we all know, Lightborn isn't particularly good, and once survivors realise you have it, they…

Vanity Myers is actually fun with Friends 'Til The End
So this build is something I've never seen, and is pretty much a relic from old DBD... so I tried this build out for giggles to see if I could make the most M1 of M1 bullds... and it worked far better than expected. I have no illusions, strong survivors will crush me, but it was actually not awful as a build... Vanity…

So Clown looks pretty weak...
Not gonna lie, I always hated getting hit by a Clown bottle... I'm already clumsy and his bottles always made me stumble around like even more of a goof and make a stupid mistake. Each Clown I've faced, I ended up leaving having never even seen him, and wondered what was going on. I finally got hit by a bottle after the…

How to combat disorientation on Unknown (and Freddy) teleport?
This is something that affects me on both these killers...and was wondering if anyone else gets the same? It feels like something you can get used to, but it's a little off-putting when trying to learn a killer. Whenever I teleport as either Freddy or Unknown, the direction I'm facing is almost never the direction I want…

Skull Merchant - A Final Attempt
I do not have as much hatred for Skull Merchant as others do, and I do think the excessive hatred of this character and insta-quitting against her is unreasonable for sure... but there are objectively problems with her new design that one can't in good faith ignore. I've argued many times I really like the new scan lines…
-
Unknown's effect needs a better name than 'Weakness'
Yes this is incredibly pedantic... but... Something that has irked me about the character from day 1 is stating that survivors hit by the UVX are affected by "weakness". I realise that the survivor is hindered for 3 seconds, but "weakness" I feel doesn't quite sell it to me... especially when the 'weak' partbof it lasts…

Scratched Mirror Myers in a Nutshell
Fear is not the word I would use to describe it... 😖 Perhaps a skin for Myers one day? 😅 Edit: Just remembered there is bad language in this video, so hopefully not breaching any forum rules? 😶

Commodius vs. Engineer's Toolbox - Where is my math wrong?
So I've long heard that Commodius toolboxes are better than Engineer's toolboxes from many sources, and I've just accepted it as fact. I created a build recently centered around Scavenger and my logic was, if I take the toolbox that expends charges faster, I can take a full set of charge addons, expend my Toolbox quicker…
-
Survivor Problem: The Theme vs. The Gameplay
I recently came to my epiphany about how DBD worked, and that is that survivors are NOT a team. They are 4 players who individually trying to survive, but also rely on each other. This is reflected in the bloodpoints reward system, the grading system and the store page itself. I've maintained for a while that MMR is…

More unique animations please - (Especially Older Killers!!!)
Off the back of this thread: One of the things I really enjoy are the unique animations for pick ups/pallet break on Pinhead, Alien and Sadako. In fact Pinheads generator break is one of the coolest animations in the game IMO. Off the back of the above thread, I felt inspired to dredge up an old suggestion I made back when…

PS5 - Garden Of Joy Unhook bug
I was playing on Garden of Joy, went to unhook my teammate, and the prompt refused to come up. I don't see any perks in play that could possibly be interfering with unhooking, so I believe this issue may be solely isolated to this hook specifically.

An aside about Stranger Things Adepts?
Obviously the PTB is the big talk RN, but as an aside... These I'm sure must be planned to come back, but any time frame on when we can expect them to return? I bought the DLC on PS5 the moment I saw it in the store, but I like to do adepts immediately on each new character I get, so haven't touched the ST cast while…

Killers: What's your "Oh no you didn't..." trigger?
We've heard of the survivor handbook for killers before... but for my fellow killers playing mostly chill and for fun, what are your triggers that flick your murder switch on to showing no mercy and going hard in the paint? I personally have 3 (in order from lowest level to highest): - Hanging around and following me…

PS5 - Huntress/Survivor locked in carry animation
Description Was carrying Claudette as Huntress on Haddenfield and suddenly got locked in the carry animation. Suddenly Claudette gets dropped. No idea what the trigger was, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a head on, as I didn't see the locker go. In hindsightI should have checked for Head On + Quick & Quiet at the end... though…

Killers: What is your Main's bread and butter perk?
Killer Mains! Of all choices you have, what single perk is the one that synergises perfectly for you and your Killer's play style? The one perk you can't live without? Can be meta for hard stomping SWFs, can be some mad cap BS perk for goofing about, or could be the perk you use for roleplaying... whatever your goal is for…

My Game Primary Objectives Epiphany: The real reason for the SoloQ/SWF gap, et al.
This game should be fun... I've recently had an epiphany about DBD... and it's reshaped how I think about everything in this game. I'm primarily sharing because, this series of thoughts has softened the blow on a lot of the more annoying aspects of this game, that I frequently see complained about... There is a fair amount…

Why 'Forfeit' or 'No DC penalty' would be problematic
I've seen a few places now where people keep asking for Forfeit options and/or no DLC penalties. Suicide on Hook is of course an issue, and a common solution suggestion is to allow people to give up or allow people to leave for a bot. The fundamental issue with adding/allowing these things is how common they will become.…

OG Freddy Mains what new feature would you prioritise/steal if he came back?
I've watched old footage of Freddy, and not gonna lie... his power seems pretty cool compared to now. There are some things I like about new Freddy, but overall the original idea was far more interesting. So.. If Old Freddy came back, he'd likely need some changes to fit modern DBD... what 1 change to his kit would you…
-
A kinda dumb console Hillbilly suggestion
It's no secret that Hillbilly is pretty rough in general, but he is especially on console, and the problem is pretty obvious... it's that his ability to turn quickly for 0.75s at the start of his charge with his chainsaw lasts a very short time. This means on mouse and keyboard players can flick their aim while their turn…

Suggestions for General Perks (Survivor)
With the loss of Stranger Things from the general perk pool, I thought I'd put forward a few suggestions to replace them. BHVR has said they have no plans for new perks, but maybe we can change their mind.... The goal to my mind isn't to necessarily create super strong meta perks, just some nice/decent perks that fill a…

Name a perk each side that could be more fun/interesting
Merry Christmas all! There are loads of weaker perks that need buffs, but there are a few pretty decen/good perks that are good balance wise... just kinda boring and uninteractive. Do you have any perks you think should be changed to be more interesting? Nerfing is not the intention, just altered to engage the players mind…

"Map design is the problem with 3 genning" is a poor/incomplete argument
Although I am a little concerned about the 3-gen changes coming, I have a reasonable amount of faith it's going to be like the AFC. Restrained and something that doesn't affect normal play. I watched Scott's take on 3-genning and how he would fix it, and to summarise, the idea is map design is the issue, and the solution…
