Lore Dive: The Unknown
Due to the character limit on the forums, the only way I can share this lore analysis with anyone interested is through a link to the Google Doc. Here it is: This is an extremely long post and like I say in the overview for these things, not all of this information is confirmed, much of it is just theorized. Still, hope…

Tagging Survivors with Biopod as Singularity
I just finished one match as Singularity and was having extreme trouble tagging a survivor with a biopod even though I was clearly looking at them. This happened on the Toba Landing map. Has anyone else experienced this lately? Update: Played a second match on grim pantry and the same scenario happened. I was only able to…

I've Noticed Something
So one piece of advice that a lot of people follow when they play survivor is this: "Whoever has the least amount of times they have been hooked should go for the save." If we follow this advice, then the people who have been hooked more than others would repair generators instead of saving. However, I have been noticing a…

Dramaturgy Bug
Sometimes, the item you get is a very rare item instead of just sticking to rare items. I managed to get a ranger medkit with a syringe. Is it nice? Yes, but this power creeps plunderer's instinct and ace in the hole. Therefore, it should probably be changed. Not changing it removes the sense of decision-making when it…

Specify the chance to scream again in Scene Partner
Although the perk says you have a chance to scream again and reveal the killer's aura for an extra 2 seconds, the perk does not specify the specifics. Specifically, players have a 50% chance to scream again for the bonus 2 seconds of aura reading. I think the perk can be a little more specific.

Why I'm Back After 1 Year Of Quitting
On October 9, 2021, I quit Dead By Daylight. I reached a point, a limit, whatever you want to call it that I just couldn't play the game anymore. However, after taking some time off to focus on myself and other things in my life, I overall improved my life. I don't even know why I'm posting this. I guess I just felt like…

What Kinds Of DLC Do You Prefer Each Year?
In other words, how many of each type of DLC do you like getting per year? How many of the 4 do you prefer to be licensed and how many do you prefer to be original? Personally, I have always preferred original DLCs, but still like getting a licensed character on occasion, so I would normally prefer 3 original and 1…

Should Perk Tiers Be Removed?
This is a question that has been lingering in my head for a while and wanted to get the community's thoughts. Maybe with this poll, something could change. I personally believe perk tiers should be removed. It can significantly decrease the grind and can make a lot of the player base happy. With this, you would only have…

Trapper's 'New Look' and My Thoughts
Hi, I wanted to give my thoughts on The Trapper's possible new look. Here is the possible new look in case you haven't seen it yet: As someone who has been a Trapper Main from the start, I like just about everything, but one thing; the mouth on the new mask. Something about it seems off to me and I think that it might be a…

Would You Like To Be Able To Vote For New Characters For Future Chapters At Some Point?
This thought came up in my mind not too long ago and I personally think it would be interesting. Maybe the developers could do it for a chapter released in Fall, Winter, or Spring, but I think since this would be a new and big deal, it may end up being reserved for an Anniversary Celebration for DBD. I sort of picture it…

Lore Dive: Feng Min
Overview: Dead By Daylight’s universe being as vast as it is raises many questions such as what the background for certain survivors or killers are or if there are some characters out there that we have yet to meet.

Do You Like The Proposed Change To Object Of Obsession From Today's Q&A?
Here is the concept change presented by the devs in case you missed it: A supernatural bond links you to the Killer. Whenever your aura is revealed to the Killer, the Killer's aura becomes revealed to you. If you are the obsession, your aura is revealed to the Killer for 3 seconds once every 40/35/30 seconds. Increases the…

Lore Dive: Jake Park
Overview: There are many characters throughout the story and lore of Dead by Daylight. Some characters we know a lot about while others we know hardly anything about them. One of the characters that has such little information provided is Jake Park, and rightfully so. Jake is known to be one of the more quiet people out of…

Possible Second Wind buff?
If you begin healing someone at the start of their health state and immediately use For The People, Second Wind only counts the progress of the normal heal that you did for a split second. I understand that Second Wind should not be active if you use For The People on someone who has partially been healed already, but I…

I'll include the current Decisive…

Overview: In celebration for my 100th post on the Dead by Daylight Forums, I figured I would create 3 entire chapter concepts.

How Likely Is It That Your Main/Favorite Character For Survivor or Killer Gets Replaced?
Do you think you have found your specific main/favorite character in the game or do you think your main is still waiting to be added? Trapper has been my main since the beginning. However, for my favorite survivor, Dwight was my main at first until Ace took over for my favorite survivor spot.

Help Me Understand This: Is My Lost Legacy Gone Forever Now?
As an FYI, I earned two legacy pieces back in 2016: Legacy Skin 1 and Legacy Skin 2 for Trapper (Trapper's Cleaver and Trapper's Mask as Legacy Items). Around this time of the year in 2017, I lost my legacy cosmetics to the progress loss bug. I contacted the developers once every year following the day I lost my legacy and…

Can Someone Confirm This About the Luck mechanic?
For a very long time now, I've always used a luck setup when I play survivor (Up The Ante, Ace in the Hole, Slippery Meat, and Plunderer's Instinct). I just saw on the wiki page that luck "does not affect the rarity of an item found in a chest". I just have this feeling that someone might have made a mistake on that page…

With another set of 3 survivor perks and 3 killer perks coming into the game, we will be at a grand total of 80 survivor perks and 72 killer perks. However, many of these perks go unseen and/or unused due to how limited they are, whether it be the perks are too situational or they are too ineffective. What perks do you…

What Do You Consider A Win As Killer?
A lot of people have different views when it comes to "winning" a game of DbD as killer. From simply pipping, to getting 4 stacks of BBQ, many people have their own perspective on what counts as a win. Personally, I feel like 3-4 kills is a win, 2 kills is a tie, and 1-0 kills is a loss, but I'm genuinely curious as to…

Ace and The Hag have been in DBD for 3 years!
On this day in 2016, the Chapter 3 DLC Of Flesh and Mud came out to Dead by Daylight. With Ace being my favorite survivor, I thought I would mention this just for the heck of it and to remember the hype I had along with others when the dlc first came out.

Let's Talk About Keys: Too Strong or Balanced?
Recently, there has been some talk about whether keys are too powerful or if they are fine where they stand right now. I'm very interested on other peoples thoughts since I kinda see how both sides view keys. When I play survivor, I often run Plunderer's Instinct. For people who don't know what this perk does, it basically…
