My idea was like a protective mode. When the dog is in this mode while you are walking around the dog stays close by your side (Much like he does anyways when walking) should a survivor come within X amount of meters of The Houndmaster he will attempt a quick lunge for a grab.

what if we make it so 5 scourge hooks spawn in instead of 4, and they spawn in around the corners of the map and 1 in the middle? This way u wouldnt get screwed over by rng.1 comments 51 views last activity

3-6% of matches were against a 4 man SWF. This data, even though it's quite old, is still relevant to this day since the average party size doesn't change by a massive amount over the years. https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/61114/community-community-data-requests Please spark some debates in here7 comments 591 views last activity

I've had the idea for this post in mind for ages, I'm not subtweeting anyone here lol This is a thing you'll see people reference in passing quite a bit. If something harms lower-tier killers, it'll often be phrased as hurting M1 killers, or you'll see people say "M1 killers don't have the luxury of doing [X] thing". My issue with this is that it doesn't make any sense once you try and defin73 comments 1,553 views last activity

For those who don't know vigil is currently bugged to be 66% faster recovery of the slew of status effects instead of 40%. I would unironically go as far as to kill switch it because if every survivor is running it… The average status effect duration would be cut more than in half.22 comments 721 views last activity

So we all know Tricksters rework is finally coming up in 2026 and I heard that a decent amount of known Trickster players were talked to in terms of what would happen with the rework. So I am hoping this would include the increasing number of spots not only Trickster but also Death Slinger (To a lesser extent Unknown, Huntress and Springtrap) can't shoot/throw through due to invisible walls.

Now that the Grimoire has been updated it looks like we're getting an angelic Killer, which I guess I'm okay with, even if I'm surprised at its popularity. But for a moment I was really excited at the prospect of the 'chimeric' type Killer, especially if it had gone in a wolfman/werewolf direction. 'innocent person who turns into a hulking beast' is both a staple of horror and also a niche that's11 comments 161 views last activity

Hello everyone, as an elder of this game, having legacy prestige and having played this game for more than 9k hours, I want to raise the topic of Crouch tech. And this trick is a bug and a flaw of the developers, the developers write that they fixed it, but this is a lie. Such characters as the villager, Mor, Victor, Charlotte, they and others cannot strike when turning and for squatting the surv40 comments 1,021 views last activity

This map is super duper unbalanced. Way too small, way too punishing if you pop all gens in either the upstairs floor or the dungeon, and horrendous pallet and window spawns. Pls tell me you have plans to fix it 🙏14 comments 291 views last activity

I was watching a moderately well-known streamer the other day who was saying that Kindred should always be in your survivor build unless you’re a 4-man team on comms. The argument is that it’s so much better than any other perk you could bring because of the information it gives you. I’ve always considered it to be a “noob” perk and really haven’t used it at all since I was newer player, but37 comments 922 views last activity

Here are the top 5 killers I would love to see in the game and please let me know yours. The Wolfman (2010) Since the game is produced by universal I'm surprised they haven't had the classic monsters yet. I do think the 2010 wolfman would fit the esthetic perfectly. He could have an all fours running ability to help chase the survivors. Pennywise. I mean he is just a terrifying creature and28 comments 1,442 views last activity

It's basically a small discord clique's opinion of what Dead by Daylight should be. I watched the finals and read over their rules/balance list and it's a completely different game that is greatly watered down in complexity. They have so many silly rules and a massive list of banned add-ons and perks and perk combinations, such that it plays completely different.

I normally play on my pc, but when I travel I usually play on switch or if I want a few matches while I'm playing in bed. I upgraded to a switch 2 when it came out.

Killer is Divine + Otherworldly Divine meaning “Godly, relating to a God. Pointing something like an angel or related to a “good” entity. I am thinking this could point to a situation where there is another entity or God like being that is the opposite of what the entity represents. Because the entity itself feeds on Hope because it is malevolent. It may not be acting on malicious thoughts6 comments 582 views last activity

One thing that i have noticed increasing tremendously now is that people will now just dc on first hook and rage quit since they can't self unhook. Now i know that we have bots now which do help (i did just 3 man escape out of my last match with the bot) but i find it wierd that people are just increasingly disconnecting. i think maybe we can excuse a disconnect for bad internet now and then b206 comments 4,910 views last activity

So when Ghoul came out, I immediately got him to prestige 6. I love Tokyo Ghoul. It was one of the first anime I watched and have quite a few a good chunk of the manga as well.

For my first, it was legion. I just liked the idea of running around the map like flash and stabbing people nonstop, it was fun at first but after a while i just realized what a truly weak killer he WAS so i stopped. But then i found knight, and i just really connected w him the instant i tried him, his playstyle, his looks, and everything abt him. so yea, i stand high and proud as THE KNIGHT M46 comments 671 views last activity

Whenever I run The Pig with Lightborn people leave constantly and it throws the game because they're replaced by bots and they are broken. They know where everything is, they can avoid you like crazy and help out there team. There really needs to be some kind of punishment for people who leave mid game, it completely throws the game.15 comments 231 views last activity

[This mainly goes to players who played hundreds of hours] The same goes for survivors, they can also bring extreme stuff like 4 syringes, 4 of that perk etc. Why? Because you have to assume either side is going to try their best and do these things. I mainly play killer but that is irrelevant to the fact that same thing goes for each side.

Since we saw this kind of with Pyramid head with them making some parts base kit (range and trail duration and rites of judgement time) and them completely overhauling his addons (amazing pass btw love it outside of 2 that might be busted). I would include Billy but they also added overdrive in place of overheat. What other killers would be good with this type of approach as well? I see commonly45 comments 832 views last activity

Ok another 2 games today 8 survivors running deja vu. What is the upcoming change to this perk? Is it going to be a nerf or buff? I don't play survivor but I'd hate to think it's a buff because I see enough of it as it is. Which / what is it? Curiosity killed the cat and all that.8 comments 181 views last activity

Im a person that plays on both sides, though usually i play a bit more Survivor than Killer. During this Event however, i have only been able to play as a Survivor for the entire Event, because each time i tried to spark up a Killer match: The waiting times were over 15 Minutes for a Single Match. I thought that perhaps it was an Event related issue but even the Casual Mode itself is hindered43 comments 1,291 views last activity

I've loaded into a few matches and already disconnected once due to packet loss. In multiple games, I've noticed issues like everything freezing when the killer picks up, and random disconnects from other players, like people working on a gen and then suddenly DC'ing for no clear reason. I'm playing on EU servers, so not sure if it's a regional thing, but something definitely feels off.3 comments 61 views last activity

So okay finally a confirmation he is being worked on! I am hoping this is going in a positive way, he should not have any teleportation ability, or mimic friday the 13th game with jason going into weird warp state dark energy that travels map really fast. He should also not have any dash abilities, I have been only maining him a while now i do love his evil within ability but it should stay how27 comments 678 views last activity

What counts as "extreme slugging situations", for the upcoming anti-slug? If the killer is forced to slug a survivor for an extended period of time, because the only hook within range is currently broken by the Breakdown perk, would that count as an "extreme slugging situation"?

First of all, having had a pause from the game and coming back, to have found that DBD has taken initiative to fix certain core gameplay elements, not with situational perks, but with core gameplay changes, like Built in Borrowed Time, the Hatch closing mechanic, and allowed slugging/all hooked DC, makes me proud! The basekit initiative has helped so much with addressing common frustrations man21 comments 5,752 views last activity

3 times in a row, Kaneki with free hit an breaking pallets with event… 3 times in a row, not even a chance to do something… In the name of all gods, who thought that was a good idea to implement in a event?… I imagine devs chatting "Wow, survs gonna be nuts when killer break the pallets, its gonna be hyper fun!!"

Every time I launch the game all my keybinds are reset and actions are set to toggle. Sometimes I forget to change all the settings before going into a match and it causes me to miss skillchecks or go down sometimes. Its really annoying since I change a decent amount of keybinds. Anyone know what is causing this to happen?0 comments 91 views last activity

Wake Up! I love this perk. I just got a 4 person SoloQ escape with this against a Spirit by opening the gate and taking a protection hit.

It's not uncommon these days to see people reference, in passing and as part of a wider point or comment, the notion that Wake Up was nerfed, typically with language like "killed", "gutted", or "deleted". I'm not sure why, though. I've been using this perk more since the last change it got, and it's pretty unambiguously stronger now overall.

Made a tierlist of how much I think this statement is still accurate for modern day DbD. My main criteria would be how much worse these killer would feel without their addons, how much they rely on them to be viable and how much of a difference the addons really make. Tremendous difference are things like iri stone / bag being basically a difference bet9 comments 351 views last activity

There are so many people who believe if it isnt meta or something they like - it isnt worth running. This is harmful to newer players or even others who like mixing it up or play for fun (not just for escapes). Survivors are already fairly toxic, and I imagine this will just exasperate it. I have been left on hook to die for using weaving spiders before because "who uses that". I know others who18 comments 372 views last activity

I’ll go first.. “Under extreme pressure you seem to focus better allowing you to multitask!” Granting you 5 tokens at the start of the trial, any survivor nearby you within X amount of meters upon hitting a great skill check will partially also heal the injured survivor. Tokens refill on each hook the killer gets. I just threw this idea out there…so take it with a grain of salt.8 comments 161 views last activity

problematic with slugging? because thats my experience especially with kaneki's ,even worse on small maps like haddonfield or saloon, they can be anywhere on any map within 5 seconds , no 1 should have to bring a build to counter this ,no 1 should have to bring a build to counter anything on both sides, with the changes to slugging i hope they look at infectious and other screaming perks. i ge20 comments 561 views last activity

I just had an odd game, I just wanted some input as to what I might be missing. Maria and Ada Wong remained alive. I found and hooked Maria, but then her hook-meter went from full to 50% very quickly, as if she was attempting unhooks. It looked exactly like the old "unhook repeatedly to die, to give last Victim a chance at hatch" kind of deaths. I can't for the love of me see how that's possibl4 comments 72 views last activity

I'm a huge fan of the trickster and according to DBD stats I have like 800 hours with just him XD but I'm worried about his changes and him losing his identity.
