Kinship and Reassurance to counter camping
Now that we have two anti camping perks, do you think that they will see more use? Do you think they'll be effective in punishing face campers? Also does anyone know if the two can stack? Eg. Use reassurance on someone during first phase Get close to someone during struggle phase and pause it with Kinship Then use…

Came back and played a lot of matches today
I haven't played for a few months but I came back to play some and got together with my good friend. I was shocked in ALL of our matches today we didn't encounter face camping once. Is face camping becoming less prevalent lately? Either way it was really nice to be able to play without that. Even went up against a Bubba…

Imagine Inner Healing vs Pentimento
I'm not expecting the new meta to suddenly be Inner Healing (Though I do think instant burst heals will be a lot more popular moving forward after Haemorrhage change and CoH nerf) BUT I was thinking about how using it vs Pentimento would be pretty cool, think about it: You cleanse a totem to proc your inner healing and…
-
Imagine a timeline where Boons don't exist
I was thinking about it and my god, Pentimento + NOED would be absolutely unfair. Actually just Pentimento in general would be insane if Boons didn't exist but yeah. On one hand I love boons but on another it makes me sad that dull totems are more for survivors than killers now lol Share your thoughts idk
-
Why is no one talking about the Ghostface changes? 😭
Lowkey those two add-ons look amazing. Also 60 seconds of exposed is nothing to sneeze at and I like how exposed survivors can't reveal him now. It's a nice quality of life change. But yeah, specifically that new green add-on is really cool. I hope we get more add-ons like this that restore a killers power when they break…

Need ideas/help for Exposed perks in builds
Title. I mostly play Pig so ideas for M1 oriented killers would be appreciated. Usually I just throw Haunted Grounds into my usual build and call it a day because CoH users almost always bless over it / 9/10 times my haunted gets popped but I'm looking for some ideas other than that. If you're wondering what my usual build…
-
Dragon's Grip + Brine seems pretty amazing
The concept is simple: kick a gen with Brine and trap it with Dragon's Grip. Survivor either touches it and becomes exposed when you come back to get them or leaves the generator and it regresses into oblivion. Pair with Pop for more regression off of downing the exposed survivor and you have loads of regression at your…

How to counter Boon: Shadow Step
So I've gotten to play a fair amount of matches against the new Boons lately and have come to realize that the best way to deal with them is so simple: Bloodhound. I'm not joking. I've been getting so much value out of Bloodhound every match lately. People trying to use stealth builds on top of Shadow Step or even just…
-
Anyone else have a bad Bloodhunt experience?
Idk about you all but I've had almost non-stop bad experiences this weekend getting to capitalize on the double BP. When I play survivor I get tunneled out or face camped first or the match just gets ended asap which like, it's fine if a killer wants to 4k quickly I understand but it's such a waste of sacrificial cakeee…
-
Perks that help counter the Boon meta?
So I was thinking about it recently and realized that Pyramid Head has two niche perks that actually really help in countering Circle of Healing and Shadow Step (Somewhat). Forced Penance and Deathbound, both of which have no cooldown at all which is nice. Forced Penance allows you to inflict Broken on survivors who take…
-
Urban Evasion vs Fixated/Self Aware?
Is one faster than the other or are they the same? I only ask because crouching is better in some interactions vs walking Eg. Hag traps and Pyramid Head's trails of torment Also which do you prefer?
-
Anyone else playing less and less because of face camping?
Every time I get on to play a match or two lately it's just face camp. I find myself playing less and less because of it. If you don't want me to play the game just say so 😭 I play killer some too but not all the time. It gets lonely and boring after a while I just want a normal survivor match for once where I or a…
-
Do Moris affect Killer MMR gain?
Title. I got to wondering, if Hatch Escapes don't affect Survivor MMR gain then is it the same for Moris on Killer?
-
Are survivor items / addons being touched in this update?
Are they being changed at all? Namely add-ons, or are they just updating them to reflect exact number values like killer add-ons?
-
Who else is going to run Jigsaw's Sketch + Annotated Plan
Because I know I will for 6 reverse bear traps lol Maybe a bit overkill but sounds nutty to me that we can have up to 2 bonus RBTs.
-
After the Key + Hatch change will you not care as much about them?
As it currently stands, seeing a key in the lobby is enough to make killers upset and even some survivors (When I'm playing solo queue and see someone with a key I brace myself for the killer to go all out unfun to punish the key bearer). After this upcoming change, will you (Namely killers) not care as much? I've always…
-
Should Franklin's Demise Work on Lament Configuration?
I've seen a lot of videos on this combination on Pinhead and I'm honestly starting to wonder if the interaction between Franklin's and Lament Configuration is intentional? I get it, it makes sense as LC is an item you can pick up and carry around with you and solve at your leisure, yes but I know a lot of perks…
-
Disabling Plague's Whispering During Corrupt Purge, Yay or Nay?
This is so incredibly loud.. Would it be unreasonable if there was a way to turn it down or just disable it entirely? I can't hear myself think while it's going on it's so irritatinggg. Any other Plague players out there who share this sentiment? Like it was cool when I first started playing her but now it just hurts my…
-
What do you do against a camping Huntress?
Yesterday I went against so many of these and all but one of them did the same thing: proxy camp their first hook and force trade anyone who came in for a save and proceeded to tunnel the person off hook by waiting out BT (Valid tactic I know) and downing with hatchets from afar. If they couldn't tunnel then they just went…

An Anti-slug perk idea: Down But Not Out
Down But Not Out Even in the face of adversity you help others to overcome greater obstacles together. While in the Dying State, you can heal other survivors that are in the Dying State at 75/50/25% of the normal healing speed. "Everything's gonna be alright.. We'll get through this together!" The idea is simple: you crawl…
-
With Hawkins leaving would you like to see a new indoor map?
I certainly would. While I was never too fond of Hawkins I still adored it for being so spot on for Stranger Things and being a genuinely uncomfortable map to play on- something most indoor maps capture the spirit of extremely well. The Game, Lery's and Midwich are all some of my favorite maps because of how much scarier…
-
Will Steve and Nancy's perks be added to default bloodwebs even for those who don't own them?
Title. I had heard many people including Mandy say that. "Their perks will become 'base' and have their icons reworked" etc. but I didn't know if that meant they were just becoming generalized for Dead by Daylight due to the licensing issue or if it means that even if we don't own Nancy, Steve or Demogorgon as well, will…
-
Premonition Rework Idea and Should more perks have Aura Reading?
Premonition You have the undeniable capability to sense danger. Get an auditory warning when looking in the Killer's direction within a 45° cone within 36 metres. If the Killer is looking in your direction when within 36 metres of you when Premonition is triggered, their aura is revealed to you for 1 second.…

Need advice for Pyramid Head..
So I'm beginning to sink BP into PH because 1. I love him and 2. I don't actually need any other reasons so I'll just cut to the chase: I need help creating a beginner build for learning him as well as maybe a build to work into once I get better as him. The worst part currently is that I'm still leveling him up and trying…
-
Tampered Timer: Yay or nay nay I say
Do you all think Tampered Timer is fine in its current state? Do you think it's healthy? I really want to see Pig get an add-on pass where the majority of her add-ons get made to be consistently better and more useful and maybe tone Tampered Timer down a smidge because it feels bad imo when you do fall victim to it. Idk, I…
-
Lightweight Rework
Your running is light and soft, making your tracks harder to follow. Your Scratch Marks start to disappear 2/3/4 seconds sooner. The sound of your footsteps and breathing while running are reduced by 25/50/75%. "Take it slow, he knows where you've been... just like I've always said: 'live slow and die old'" — Dylan, The…
-
Is this problem just never going to be addressed?
I just had a match where I literally attempted to Vile Purge on a survivor 8 different times on this loop in Haddonfield. 8 times I counted where I puked on them over the obstacles, they make a sound where they cry out like they've been hit by it but no infection. I ended the match and closed the game because this issue…
-
Hex Defense Perk Idea
Hex: Delirium A Hex that toys with the minds of Survivors making it more difficult to discern the latent effects of curses. All Hex Totems appear as Dull Totems to Survivors and make no sound. Survivors will not be informed of active Curse effects. Hex: Delirium itself is also masked as a Dull Totem and has its Curse…
-
What if killers had Iron Will (Killer perk idea)
The idea is quite simple, a perk which reduces the Killers breathing/ambient voice sounds by a % amount (Up to 100%) similar to how Survivors have Iron Will to silence themselves when injured. How would this sound to you all? Broken or fair? I think it's a shockingly simple idea that could be pretty nasty on killers with…
-
Sole Survivor rework!
An idea I had to hopefully fix and make Sole Survivor not only better but also more healthy as a perk: As more of your friends fall to the Killer, you become shrouded in isolation and the Killer's Aura-reading abilities towards you are disrupted. Whenever another Survivor is hooked, Sole Survivor gains 1 token, up to a…
-
Spies from the Shadows rework
Crows found throughout the Trial Grounds can communicate directly with you. When a Survivor disturbs a Crow within 36 meters of your location, their aura is revealed to you for 5 seconds. Spies from the Shadows has a cooldown of 60/50/40 seconds. The idea is to give Spies a longer cooldown but a much stronger effect where…
-
If it IS a FNAF collaboration then..
Who would the survivor be? Correct me if I'm mistaken but do we ever see the security guard we play as in FNAF? I can't recall lol Could this be a scenario where we just get a killer and no survivor similar to Ghostface and how would you feel about that? We did just get two survivors with Resident Evil after all.
-
A small but impactful change to Technician?
Would Technician be broken or problematic if its regression penalty for failing a generator skill check was 1% at max level (Instead of 3%)? I personally doubt it would be and if anything it would be an even better beginner perk for new survivors who are trying to get better at hitting skill checks in general. Currently if…

Need help crafting a jump scare Spirit build
Title. I need help and I'm not too sure where to start other than Monitor and Abuse and Tinkerer. Any other good ideas? Also thinking of utilizing the Dried Cherry Blossom and Prayer Beads Bracelet add-ons though I'm a bit unsure on the Prayer Beads. My thought process is that Prayer Beads will cause a feeling of paranoia…
-
Pig add-on pass ideas
Some ideas I have for Pig if she ever received an add-on pass: Workshop Grease A modification to the Jigsaw Box: the lubricated parts make the search a more delicate exercise. Slightly reduces Jigsaw Box Skill Check zones. Razor Wires A modification to the Jigsaw Box: the addition of razor sharp wires makes it extra…

How to deal with being camped or tunneled?
Lately it happens in every single match and I just don't want to play anymore. Solo queue or with friends it's so unfun and to everyone who says "Well just play killer", I do and I can only do that so many matches before I don't have fun anymore because that gets lonely lol To those who say "Get good lol" I can't when I'm…
-
Broken Key Idea
I want desperately to utilize keys as an aura-reading item but without the headache to killers worrying about it being able to pop hatch open for multiple survivor escapes before end game. My idea is simple, the green rarity "Broken Key", what if it had a different model from the other two keys. It's literally a key with…
-
Poised rework idea
Achieving goals boosts your confidence. After working on a Generator for 3 seconds, Poised activates: • After letting go of the Generator you are working on, leave no Scratch Marks for the next 5 seconds. Poised can only be triggered once every 60/50/40 seconds. "Ok, stay calm. Don't overthink it and just keep moving…

Need tips on avoiding being tunneled
Lately I get tunneled out of almost every single match whether solo queue or with my friends and it's been really disheartening and unfun. I'm no expert looper so I always eventually go down even when holding W and pre dropping pallets in a last ditch effort. That being said I do still try to loop efficiently but sometimes…

This Plague bug needs to be addressed
Earlier today I was playing Plague and I know that this issue has always existed because of latency and server issues but it seemed to happen a lot more than usual in my matches today. I'm talking about the thing where you puke on a survivor, they flinch and scream as though they're being hit but your puke isn't…

Does Lightborn make you immune to the following:
Does Lightborn make you immune to flashbang, firecrackers and blast mine? I'm most curious about if blast mine still stuns you in the event that the blind is prevented. Just wondering if anyone here knows since I can't test it right now.

Need help making an Exposed build!
Hey all, I've been playing Killer a lot more lately and really been having a blast with it tbh but I wanted to try and create a build centered around the Exposed status so I figured I'd come here for help. This is primarily for Pig and Spirit as I've been playing them the most lately but also Hag could benefit from an…
-
Bite the Bullet vs. Iron Will
This is intended as a discussion for the upcoming and new perk: Bite the Bullet and how it fares against Iron Will. As much as I want to like BtB, I can't help but wonder why anyone would run it over IW seeing as IW just let's you be quiet always as opposed to only when health like with BtB. While we're at it here I was…
-
Need help making a Jack of all trades Survivor build
I want to make a build that covers a lot of bases but without being all meta perks. I really like to try and use off meta / niche things from time to time so I'm trying to limit it to only 1 meta perk but yeah. I'm thinking something like: We're Gonna Live Forever (Can be swapped but I like the BP bonus) An exhaustion perk…
-
Make Your Choice buff concerns
I'm genuinely concerned at this small yet deceptively big change where you can hear the survivor who unhooked scream from across the map only because of one thing and that's how already strong killers with high mobility will be able to absolutely abuse this. Think, Nurse, Blight and Spirit. And even some killers who aren't…
-
Why is Boil Over so.. BAD
Especially when compared to Agitation and even Iron Grasp, the latter of which is admittedly a meme, Boil Over is just sooo bad like why 😭 I can't even think of any way it could be made to be better it's just weird. Idk does anyone else agree? Also Agitation is mad underrated, I love that perk on Killer.

Have they released Jake's remodel yet?
I've checked a few times yesterday and today on DBD's Twitter and I just can't wait any longer I wanna see how Jake is gonna look 😭 Does anyone know when they're gonna drop em?

Need help weaning myself off Spine Chill and Windows of Opportunity
So when I play Survivor I almost ALWAYS bring Spine Chill and Windows of Opportunity. I got this game last Halloween and I don't play it religiously so these two perks make me feel a lot safer when I'm playing with my friends or even the very rare times I do solo queue which is almost never. I guess what I'm asking is for…

How to improve Lucky Break without breaking it
This idea suddenly struck me as, Lucky Break has caused a bit of concern in the community what with the PTB change where you also leave no scratch marks for 90 seconds. What if Lucky Break only erased your scratch marks for 3 seconds after being hit and it activating like Deception and Dance With Me? This is still…
-
Let's talk about Lucky Break 💔🍀
Needless to say this perk is about to become incredibly good. No scratch marks or blood + Iron Will to make no grunts of pain = literally no way to track you. Do you think this will truly become meta and be a serious problem, considering Lucky Break can't be used again for the rest of the match once it's activated and used…
