I wouldn't mind if Gift of Pain was 25% slowdown.
Seriously, though. Gift of Pain is the healthiest slowdown perk, and the one with the most counterplay. It's sad that it shipped with such low numbers that it's unusable and 16% still doesn't feel like enough. What Gift of Pain does: when you hook a survivor on a scourge hook, they get Sloppy Butchered. The next time…

Thank you devs for further enabling us in the classic DBD tradition of flexing playtime.
So in this update the devs are massively reducing the grind by making it trivial to get all perks on all killers for killer mains that already have all killers P3, and ditto for survivor mains. More importantly (okay it's less important but very fun) there's a new, way bigger grind; prestige 100. With prestige being shown…

Lethal Pursuer addon interaction highlights
Basically a list of strong duration-based aura reading addons I'm looking forward to using with Lethal Pursuer: Not an addon: you see Victor's aura for a few seconds after landing a pounce on a healthy survivor and switching to Charlotte. Extending this duration can make tracking the survivor easier. For Twins, Victor's…

Overcharge vs Call of Brine math/trivia
Note: all this assumes Overcharge's growth will be linear from 100% to 400% and stay at 400% thereafter. Overcharge's gen regression: 100% the moment you kick the generator 200% after 10 seconds 300% after 20 seconds 400% after 30 seconds and thereafter, having so far regressed 11.25 extra charges/18.75 total charges Call…

"Survivors who wish Guardian was a viable alternative to BT, we hear you"

Imagine if we got a Grim Embrace or Floods of Rage meta
With 39 perks changing, nobody outside the dev team knowing exactly what the perk changes are gonna be, a lot of people have been concerned with the two main anti-tunnel perks (DS and BT) being slated for a rework, and for a long time the concern with a BT nerf or DS nerf has been that it would lead to killers tunneling.…

T3 perks that aren't always better than their T1 or T2 versions
Leaving aside comments that "Dead man's switch/Deadlock blocks Ruin regression and kicking gens, so sometimes you want it to end sooner!" which is ultimately too niche a situation to take seriously has anyone else noticed that Make Your Choice is arguably stronger at T1 than T3? Unlike other perks, which get better in all…

What's up with the emblem XP bonus anyway
A mini-event leading up to the DBD Anniversary event, giving double xp from emblems, highlighting how useless emblem xp is I just played a 10-minute-or-so game as Dredge, killing 4 survivors and getting 4 iridescent emblems. I got a total of 614 xp for the game, of which 36 was the emblem xp bonus. In other words, the…

5 for 6 on infinite loading screens since the event :)
Only managed to get 1 match, only got 11 of 13 M1s for the first killer challenge of the tome (playing Nemesis), and every time I get an infinite loading screen and close the game with task manager, the game unequips my offering and unselects the tome challenge. Yo can I get another 666k BP? almsot done spending the first…

Pro tip against proxy camping basement Bubba that seemingly nobody knows
Just got done dying to a leatherface after twice being unhooked in the basement and not being able to get out due to not having BT/DS, and the other survivor not knowing this If there are 2 survivors in the basement, and a Leatherface at the top of the stairs, you both need to get in lockers. Get in the lockers side by…

If Hag was released today, you would not be able to trap hooks.
Search your feelings, you know it to be true. Trapper was changed a long time ago to not be able to trap hooks (though admittedly trapper traps straight under hooks was way more broken). Executioner cannot place his trails within a certain range of hooked survivors, so it's very rare to be able to force anyone going for a…

So what time does the rift close?
As of writing, I'm on tier 64. I want to get to tier 70, have enough auric cells to get to tier 70 right now if I want to, but if there's enough time, I would like to keep playing and reduce the amount of cells I need to spend. Rift also currently says it closes in 1 day. Will it keep reading "Closes in 1 day" until at one…

PC - Deathslinger; shot one survivor, chain connected to another
Was playing Deathslinger on Rancid Abbatoir with perks Monitor & Abuse 2, Nurse's Calling 1, Pop goes the Weasel 1 and BBQ & Chili 1, with no addons. I was going against a party of 4 Dwights, and at one point I shot Jester dwight with my chain, but dwight #2 was bodyblocking the chain so I made a lunge and hit dwight #2.…

Theorycrafting playstyle and builds for post-rework Legion
So I saw the form post on the Legion changes a few hours ago, and spent some time going over them and imagining what it would be like to play as new Legion (and playing a few Legion games where I only use M1 to down survivors, like new Legion will do), I feel like new Legion will be quite fun, and have some similarities to…

How are you all liking the new Fire Up?
From experience it seems to be a pretty decent perk. Since the buff, once all 5 gens are complete, your pallet break speed is on par with Brutal Strength, you vault *faster* than you would with Bamboozle, and you also get a minor convenience boost to picking survivors up. And I know that you're not likely to be doing much…

Thoughts on which other killers can benefit from the Plague's perks?
While it has been established that Michael Myers with Infectious Fright will be beast mode, does anyone have other ideas for builds that could make good use of this perk, or the other 2 perks that got added? Current thoughts include: -Corrupt Intervention seems strong on Hag. If you trap your 2-3 nearest generators at the…
