I Dunno about everyone else but as a "Simon Belmont's clothes" main, the main thing I'm looking forword to with the next update is the huge buff to Moment of Glory. Since it will only require 1 chest or 1 rummage, I wont have to bring rummage perks anymore just to get it to activate. And the reduced time to heal will also make it much more viable as a chase perk or self heal perk in an emergenc14 comments 210 views last activity

The current DC system in place is not much of a deterrent to players who frequently DC, even if the penalty is DAYS LONG, some players will still do it. Is that ridiculous? Yes. Does it happen? Also yes! It's easy to just leave the game on and go do something else while the penalty depletes. We need a better deterrent. First, remove the time-based DC penalty, it does not work. So here is what I2 comments 50 views last activity

This exact post is post number 10,000 on my account, and to celebrate this milestone I figured I'd try and push for a little bit of positivity on the forums! Plus being a bit sappy at the end, I think I've earned it. So, here's the question to spread the positivity: What are you guys enjoying the most about Dead By Daylight right now? I can start: I'm really enjoying Houndmaster. She has he13 comments 170 views last activity

Since the mmr will be based off hooks/downs/gen defence, rather than just kills, and gens/healing/looping rather than just escapes, I can see the game's mmr splitting into 5 categories: The onboarding zone (new players trying to learn the game) Survivor hell ( the survivors that barely do anything/dc often/ grief and sandbag/ watch their whole team die to get hatch VS the killers who slug the17 comments 430 views last activity

You gain a screen notification when a pillar goes directly towards you. Like why? I mean I know why, and it's a stupid reason Literally by increasing the aura range of the pillar was a good enough change5 comments 150 views last activity

Devs, if you want to bring life back into 2 vs 8 like it used to be, you have to bring in more maps, give the people what they want. Balance it out, drop the killer q time down too 10-15 minutes, put killers in there that are fan favorite. Like the OG Vecna, which is lich, Vecna, trickster, unknown, artist, Freddy, etc. legion is gone because you listen to bad and new survivors that don't know h2 comments 40 views last activity

As per the topic. I was in a match with a player who appears to be working with the killer. Is it reportable? I have linked the video through imgur and here is the url: https://imgur.com/a/um9jLfr10 comments 190 views last activity

title clickbait aside, i thought adding an extra tool for survivors that comes with heavy penalties would be a good way to prevent this specific playstyle. please suggest any ways you think this could be improved1 comments 70 views last activity

I understand this system is there to punish people that dc to go into their next match when they are mad they're losing but why does it do this also to people when they crash? I never asked my game to crash in the first place and now I'm punish because of it? It crashed twice so what now if it crashes again I'll have to wait 15 minutes?1 comments 50 views last activity

M1: Knife (What you start out with): So this kind of works as your normal M1. M2: So trash bags spawn around the map, and when he goes up to one, a menu pops up (Kind of like The Lich) and there's 3 different weapons to choose from that all do something different. So the items are: Hacksaw: If you are able to hit the survivor with the hacksaw, it will injure you, but it also gives an effect1 comments 21 views last activity

Curious if anyone else noticed this. I've been playing pretty consistently for the past few weeks, and recently I've noticed a pretty noticeable change in the survivor teams I'm getting. I've been getting into matches where 2 or 3 survivors are barely doing anything. Things like going afk mid-game, hiding for too long, practicing moonwalk all game, refusing healing, running into the killer injur30 comments 700 views last activity

The Judgment will get nerfed that the long shot pillows are now visible through walls. In the Dev Stream they said: "That made long shots super viable and strong and with having couple streamers in our chat rn, while you are looking at your chat saying very funny things, well, you would get shot by a pillar that came out nowhere" I know the game had already some really questionable balance de4 comments 230 views last activity

Why is it still a thing that the last survivor get's a free 50/50 chance to escape after the other 3 Survivors are dead? I experienced on both sides so many matches where the last 2 Survivors didn't do anything and tried to rat each other out. (I can recommend watching the "Getting chased for 20 Minutes" Video from Noob3) Instead of this stupid mechanic why not give the last two Survivors a fai8 comments 90 views last activity

Moving to a kill/escape scoring system was by far the worst idea they had for game health they have ever had. -if all that mattered was kills, it didn't matter how you got it. -if escape is all that mattered, the survival of your team really didn't matter. Returning to a system that uses the entirety of the match is good and honestly I missed it. I am also somewhat sad these last few years w17 comments 470 views last activity

I have close to 1,200 hours on this game which I know is dwarfed by some peoples playtime, but that is still a pretty substantial amount of hours IMO. and I am getting more and more frustrated with an apparent total disregard for players that play this game because its marketed as a game where people encounter and run from killers that has no real place in uniform competitive play. its the only g20 comments 560 views last activity

Its August 31st. 10% of players bought The Judgement on release, a low number. A week later a ten percent of those are still playing her. Will we revisit the recent changes? The hud notification seems particularly absurd. "Dodge now!"10 comments 290 views last activity

So before I went on my DBD break I was able to actually play the judgment on the PTB and I thought they were extremely fun and challenging to play and I honestly preferred it on controller things to the settings that were made for this killer specifically. Dare I say, I actually preferred this keyboard and mouse… SO WHY DID THEY MAKE THEM WORSE?!? you Ner2 comments 151 views last activity

I don't know if things like this will get better with the recode in 2027 but Plague becomes more unplayable with each passing year. The hitbox of her vomit is so extremely weird that I saw clips of a completely charged vomit stream doesn't even infect the Survivor (Example: https://x.com/magi_N7/status/2089607540942455295) I know she is not the most popular Killer but it's not a excuse for her7 comments 240 views last activity

I have decided I actually hate going against Jason for a number of reasons but more than any other, bad ping. The majority of Jason's I have been against have had over 100 ping and it seems no matter what action I take, I cannot avoid getting speared which feels so unjustified from around a corner. It's a problem against all ranged killers with a less than perfect connection but due to the speed2 comments 50 views last activity

Asking for a frien ofc, Chat communication between sides is disabled in the pre-game lobby, but its still possible to send short messages to your opponent by using ready/unready signals as morse code. The question is: would it be a violation of TOS to repeatedly send a funny word with hard R till start of the game via r/unr morse code?, or its treated just as random ready/unready interaction a2 comments 70 views last activity

I’m ready for this take to age milk but here goes. I can totally see DBD entering a golden age within 1-3 years. While the last 2 years have been a bit rough for us veteran players and questionable balance choices left and right; bhvr is starting to make strides towards the long term finally.

With them making Vigil only affect the Exhausted Status Effect it now makes these better. Freddy and Clowns Power along with multiple Killer add-ons. Blindness: Mindbreaker, Septic Touch, and Ultimate Weapon. Broken: Forced Penance, No Quarter, and Terminus. Exposed: Dragon's Grip, Friends 'til the End, Hex: Haunted Ground, Hubris, Iron Maiden, Make Your Choice, Ravenous, and Starstruck.11 comments 330 views last activity

I genuinely don't understand it. We have multiple killers that ignore loops and walls. We have killers that can cross the entire map in a matter of 2-3 seconds. We have killers with special in-build ways to kill survivors quicker. And then there is the Trapper. The poster boy of this game who still has to collect his own power in the big 2026. He is currently the second-worst killer in the game4 comments 110 views last activity

i mean he has a pretty good power that can cover distances, not to mention clear pallets within seconds, and help him out strongly in chase. it does not seem that needed? Could just be me being a sore bum idk12 comments 250 views last activity

Was watching recent scott jund video and we going back to emblem system? Can we get old hud options too so it feels like a blast from the past? 😂 also uncapp categories please so players can be rewarded for doing most of gens / heals / chase rather then it being capped.15 comments 410 views last activity

I do not really get why nowhere to hide is not binded to the gen instead of the killer. The reach could stay at the current range, but the aura reading needs to be static on the gen and should not be allowed to "travel with the killer" as esp. strong killers like nurse often times just relies on this.27 comments 672 views last activity

Hi Everyone, and BHVR Community Team, I am posting here to share a situation regarding a potential operational issue in the Player Support process where the wrong account may have been penalized instead.

Wraith's whole thing is being a genocide survivor who people who hurt others for money. Nurse tortured people for a living. That's what they did in turn of the century mental asylums. They tortured people. In order to get money, Nurse participated in the institutionalized torture of some of the most vulnerable people on the planet.

The hatch is an unfair game mechanic objectively. The hatch only promotes self fish behavior on the survivor side and makes the killer's win hard earned less valuable since a magical hole appeared, even when I play survivor, I have had teammates hide all game just to escape via the hatch.8 comments 150 views last activity

In the Discord Dev livestream they announced that they will be increasing the distance you can see the Judgement's laser so that people on totems (because of how strong totem builds are on the killer) can have an easier time dodging them. The little I played the PTB showed me it really wasn't that hard to dodge once you got used to it, maybe they could increase the visible range a bit more but fr14 comments 190 views last activity

We kinda tend to mix killer win rates with kill rates although those can be quite different in either direction. If I play bunch of games with 3ks each time for example, thats a 100% win rate and a 75% killrate. On the flip side if my games are a mix of 4ks and 1ks, I have a 50% win rate and a 62.5% killrate. Why isn't winrate being recorded?22 comments 410 views last activity

Not even talking about the actual effect of the additional nerf removing other statuses but can you please at least stop confusing everybody by changing the description back and forth without explaining to people what it means? Now a lot of people think its having its exhaustion effect cut in half, and it is ENTIRELY your fault BHVR.

We have Bill as an old man, but we have no old woman survivor. I prestiged my Laurie recently, and I thought (having never seen the movies) that she was in her 40-50s, but she is in fact very young like many, many, many other young survivor women in the game… May we have a granny survivor please ? It would be so unique. For inspiration, think about Carol from The Walking Dead or Ana from Overwat74 comments 2,291 views last activity

Currently, the new Lock of Hair, purple addon that allows you to manually end Evil Incarnate by holding CTRL, makes very little sense as an addon. The combination with vanity mirror for aura reveal is strong, but by itself it does not feel powerful in a way to warrant being an addon and not a base part of Myers' own kit. Being able to go back to Stalker mode from Evil Incarnate is way too interes0 comments 40 views last activity

I like to bounce around the killer roster from time to time and try new things. Does anyone here play 2026 Freddy consistently or has a strong grasp on playing his kit to the fullest potential?

I just had a round where I was at one generator left and I went for the survivor that was deathhook. In the endgame chat they cried and complained that "Tunneling them out ruined their fun" They expect me to play differently just so they have fun but how are they playing differently to make sure I have fun?

The thing that is making the game frustrating for both sides is game speed. The game is insanely fast compared to 5 years ago. For most killers especially older ones that are slow the game is too fast thus causing these killers to slug and tunnel survivors to slow down the game thus causing survivors to be frustrated. Also the games are insanely fast compared to 5 years ago. Idk any suggestions t57 comments 1,170 views last activity

I personally haven't had the chance to play the judgement but i have cheeked youtube to see what new with the killer and o boy is not looking good so is a killer with low mobility without having some sort of mobility, and a projectile killer with worse projectile than the huntress and also has a interactable power system that actually buff survivors more than just hooking them and does not work16 comments 392 views last activity
