This killer is OP it's not even funny. It's not just because he's only just come out, trying to avoid the hatchet at times feels impossible & 9/10 once you're hit with it, within the next second of chase you'll be grabbed or smacked to the floor. He's got an instant two tap is what it has felt like every single game for 8 games so far against this killer. It's not just me either, teammates as9 comments 291 views last activity

Getting easy anticheat couldnt validate account error or some generic progress not loaded, it happens on the lobby before the trial. I just bought like 5+ dlcs and cant even play lol0 comments 21 views last activity

Would love to know if we might ever be able to get stats via an API. This would be amazing as it would allow the community to do some really neat stuff with the data. It doesn't even look like the data is loading via json or an API when running the page, its just rendering the raw data. Maybe at the very least a way for us to see a JSON blob of our owns stats to do some fun tracking?0 comments 31 views last activity

I'm 100% a self confessed stats nerd & have collected stats on various games (dbd painstakingly included) for years. Shame stats don't go back all time but from September 2020 is still almost a 5 year stretch & as a 100% solo player i'd say i've done well! Note only my Xbox is linked so doesn't include stats from PC, PS, Switch or Stadia (remember that?) Otherwise these would actually1 comments 31 views last activity

As mentioned in the title. I originally was a Killer main since I joined 2016-2017 mostly, but periodically play Survivor role. This is a long time coming kinda rant post so bare with me.

So when the killer leaves me & another survivor in a slug for 4k situation, WHY DO THEY OR I GET CROWS!? It's not my fault I can't get my teammate or they can't get me & the killer is slugging them when they could just kill them. I get crows though, it's now just a lose-lose scenario. The killer slugs & either kills us both when I tried to pick them up or either of us that are still0 comments 61 views last activity

I've seen some post and videos and apparently when a survivor interacts with the security doors, their audio is completely messed up. Audio cues from the wrong side of headphones and generators blaring despite being quite far. I believe its also affecting the terror radius as well. I have not gotten a single grab in the security office and its understandable as to why no one is even bothering t0 comments 141 views last activity

I quote : _ Disconnection Penalties are now based on your last 20 matches played. _ Each disconnect in this set of 20 matches counts as a disconnection penalty point. _ Disconnection penalty points decrease as you play matches without disconnecting (previously decayed at the rate of 1 point per day). So if one disconnects every two matches, he gets the minimum penalty each time? Do I8 comments 421 views last activity

So, with this last update all survivors start the trial together... that being said, what's the point of THIS? As far as I can tell, it does nothing...2 comments 81 views last activity

Cause this mechanic really unfair nerf to killers. People say that 8 times is a lot and thats simply not true. Before this nerfs i can regress one generator 10-12 times. My most kicking gen was in Dead Dawg Saloon in main building that i regressed 14 times (that was a week before 3 gen patch and i count how many times i regress a generator and also in this game survivors try to repair this by 3 p14 comments 1,193 views last activity

Are any other Nightmare players experiencing slightly delayed snares with this new update? Could be a new bug, they felt off and i couldn't release them as fast as before. Thank you for your time and fixing previous Nightmare bugs!0 comments 1 views last activity

Is it just me or is anyone else noticing there's no hooks inside the pizzeria? The stage area with the gen I'm seeing survivors flocking and being downed in there. I thought it was odd until I picked up a david and the closest hook was outside 3 rooms away. Is this just bad hook RNG or are others experiencing this?2 comments 41 views last activity

In solo queue, I've been mostly running perks like WOO, Kindred, Deju Vu, Lithe or Bond but I've been wondering about what other kind of survivor builds for solo queue would be good for an inexperienced player that mainly plays without friends in solo queue matches, I'm somewhat decent in looping but not exactly the best and i mainly do gens, heal or go for unhooks, what are some builds that you8 comments 2,681 views last activity

So I haven’t really played the game since Vecna came out last year, but I’m getting back into it now with all the new killers and springtrap etc. I’ve been playing for a few days here and there. As you can imagine I’m as rusty as one can be. Survivor lobbies have been okay because I don’t play survivor too often. Killer lobbies though have been awful.

When opening the update today, I was greeted by a screen that told me to adjust the brightness till the icon the left was barely visible… I did so… but now the game is far too dark. I can barely see things and it makes the game nearly unplayable for me. How do we change or revert this?6 comments 291 views last activity

The devs nerfed the perk back to 5%... It was a perk that nobody used and was only used in niche builds. This is why I was in favor of the Haste stacking changes. And they also nerfed Unbound which was a perk that actually became decent, and now it's back to being obsolete.34 comments 1,153 views last activity

Played few matches with strong/mediocre (imo) killers, using perk builds with 1/0 gen regression. For example I used Dredge, Xenomorph and Dracula with full information or antipallet (stun=hit) build. And despite I managed to find survivors and get hooks quickly - gens were popping so fast that I wasn't able to get kore than 1 kill per match. With hard tunneling 2, rarely 3.

One thing I've wondered about No Mither is why it doesn't just permanently afflict it's user with exposed rather than broken? No Mither is most egregious when playing against killers with special (mainly ranged attacks), and a change like this would leave M1 killers almost completely unaffected. A change like this would also mean that the perk doesn't suffer from a complete lack of synergy with a12 comments 1,291 views last activity

like when I actually been waiting for this since BHVR added Sorting also make it where my sorting doesnt reset back to default. there is only a handful of killers and survivors i like to play and its very annoying having to scroll down while sometimes being autistic and scrolling passed it like 5 times till i see it T_T2 comments 31 views last activity

While playing survivor over the past two/three days I've noticed (and I'm not exaggerating, this isn't hyperbole), the vast majority of people I'm being matched with and the killers I'm playing against have less than 100 hours playtime, as in, almost all of them, 9 out of 10 matches this is happening.

When I down the last survivor, before I get to mori them, they often DC. I think they should watch themselves getting killed if I didn't leave them on the ground. Should they put in a delay before survivors can abandon the match for free?9 comments 151 views last activity

Hey guys, Sorry if I ride a dead horse here but it is kinda frustrating. I am happy that toxic things like 4 minute slug of all Survivors can be avoided with the abandon mechanic but should it really be instantly?

I think instead of adding dark vadar and all these goofy killer license in the game we should focus on the more iconic classic horror. We still have a full and whole list of iconic horror to go. We still need Jason in the game and if we can’t get him find another iconic horror like The Thing, Candyman etc. We should focus a lot horror icon licenses first. We have the Walking dead, Sam and Dean fr9 comments 241 views last activity

For me it was Chucky. After they nerfed slice and dice speed he just feels lackluster. Even though they improved it slightly, it's not as fun as before. I almost feel like this killer was kinda butchered, i hope he gets some sort of a rework at some point. What about you?45 comments 811 views last activity

I'm hoping we get some fresh blood on the forums with the upcoming chapter...please be kind to them!It would be nice to see some new/differing viewpoints instead of the same people saying the same things ad nauseum, usually with negative connotations.

I want to say first what this means first it's when Survivors Touch Gens to provent the Killer from Abandoning but not actually working on the Gens I've had multiple games where the Survivors Just hid the entire match because they hated my Killer And just touched Gens to Provent me from Abandoning the match leaving me into a situation where I can't do anything for 30mins looking for them.

I've noticed that STB's unhook speed isn't affected by DM's 14%(20% in upcoming patch) unhook speed, was this intentionally done by the devs? I can't remember if it's supposed to synergize or not since STB works perfectly with Babysitter.6 comments 121 views last activity

devotion 30 player playing since 2016 honestly feel like survivor is the most boring its ever been. no strong perk combos anymore. saves often feel meaningless. gens either fly or they don't move. very one sided games; either survivors easily win or killers stomp. doesn't feel like "fun" from the survivor role anymore. you have to commit so hard to doing generators that there's often not much2 comments 161 views last activity

Title says it all, I think. The "Q3-Q4 2025" drop date for the Merchant rework looks like it's absolutely not happening now, between the focus on QOL changes for the year and the non-starter design previews that have been dragged back to the drawing board. On one hand, I respect the priorities: you guys can't do everything at once. But on the other hand, the balance team did shove a high-C ti4 comments 91 views last activity

My teammates in solo queue lately have been consistently helpful, do gens, know all the right plays, are generous with their healing and understand that the game is a team effort that requires all of us to help each other to get out of the exit gates alive, and my escape rates have gone way up as a result. It's spooky. Never would've guessed that BHVR would stealth-drop a DLC, but I can't compla2 comments 41 views last activity

Now I'm not sure if this is a bug or some sort but if it isn't and is indeed intentional why would they lock these characters in customs? I was annoyed to find that I wasn't able to play as artist the other day in a match with friends.0 comments 31 views last activity

Let me guess, you've hopped into a Locker, the Billy is rev'ing their chainsaw, but you lost the 50/50 so you either get hit or grabbed… Well, what if I told you it's not a 50/50… And that you can always win in that situation as the Survivor.

So I tried to launch the game the other day and when I got into a match it was stuttering super bad, like, the game was unplayable. So I quit out, verified the files and re launched. It crashed the moment I got into a mtach. Reported the crash and tried again. Game didn't even make it to the 'press space' screen and it stopped responding and when I tried to close it my PC froze and I had to reboo0 comments 31 views last activity

As Survivor, this most recent iteration of Chaos Shuffle has had me going against a lot of Trail of Torment, even to the point where me and my buds keep joking "Trail of Torment again?" every time the match starts. In my past 32 games, the killer has had Trail of Torment in 29 of them!! I actually really love ToT so seeing it this often makes me hope that killers learn to run it more.
