It sounds like it's not going to help these worse killers enough but better than nothing. Will you take advantage of this playing these killers and if so, how? Pig will probably benefit the most? Like before some used monitor and whispers to know when to start crouch before they hear you, and now that can be achieved with only whispers. And Billy and Blight sounds like that nerf won't do much a0 comments 51 views last activity

For those killers who, like me, enjoy testing out new killers in custom game mode, I've come up with a build for the survivor bots that makes going up against them easier to do. This is essentially playing dbd bots in "easy mode." I hover over the name of each bot, press down and then hit the edit bot option. Then I give each bot the same perks, scene partner, no mither, and invocation treachero0 comments 1,211 views last activity

I've bought a single 1,000 auric cell pack in my entitre life. I've completed ALL the rifts to date with it. I feel like this has to be rare right? Although I feel I may break my streak here.

Let me ask you a simple question. If something slows down your speed of an action by 40%, and that action normally takes 90 seconds, how long would it take? Normally you would say "90 x 1.4 is 126, so it would take 126 seconds", you would technically be right, but in terms of DBD match, you wouldnt. A lot of actions within DBD use a "charge" system to calculate the speed of an action. So for DBD15 comments 672 views last activity

I didn't fully understand the brief writeup. Is the ability to buy the cosmetics also going away? Or will you be able to buy those at a later date if you already own pinhead?

This situation has become more frequent where I load into a lobby as Killer and will see 4 default Survivors in default clothing. For example, Dwight, Meg, Claudette and Bill. I then load into the match and they play like the best players you have ever seen. They take protection hits, know ever loop, every tile, and just destroy me. I usually think the default cosmetics on free characters are20 comments 531 views last activity

Why would the devs add a challenge that requires you to escape the trial as Jane? I’ve been seeing nonstop Jane’s every other game with full rat builds to try and get the challenge done. My last teammate had distortion, calm spirit, left behind and iron will with a key that stayed hidden the whole match just to lose the hatch stand off and get caught trying to open the hatch.16 comments 351 views last activity

Like if its only available during slice & dice whats the point, since if you try to go after them after they vaulted themselves, they can just turn a sharp 90 degrees left or right and you can't even turn 45 degrees properly to run in their direction…4 comments 122 views last activity

Here is my guide to save as many bloodpoints as possible, while also completing the archives, This level seems to have a total of 440k that you can save, while earning 280k . To get to the end path, you don't need to own anything. In order to save all the challenges you need to own The Plague and Jane Romero Since these are no longer stickied, I'll update this thread with links and4 comments 781 views last activity

Chucky needs his dash mobility at least somewhat back. His dash needs to be stronger. You can buff the cooldown, you can buff his almost useless scamper, it won't help much. Chucky is not fun anymore thanks to overkilled dash speed. I am not asking for original revert of the nerf fully, but that dash is bad and needs at least some increase.

I'll start with these suggestions to better spread BP gains across categories, since the new changes moves too much over to the survival category, and leaves the Boldness category with scraps.

The new map Dead Sands is what I was afraid was going to happen, the map is small, it has chances of huge dead zones and the exit gates can be unbelievably close and defendable like forgotten ruins. Maps should be SLIGHTLY survivor sided since it’s all they have other than their perks and items, the map is definitely going to be a killer sided map and a decent killer can get through 1/4 of the pa26 comments 1,552 views last activity

For those unaware, PTB oni’s turn rate is capped at 90 degrees in demon dash. Previously he could go further if you play on mouse. Just because something isn’t intended doesn’t mean it’s bad for the game. Oni 180s existed for years and became a core part of his playstyle, giving him a high skill ceiling while not being overpowered (yes, oni was balanced with 180s) For those who bring up hardw13 comments 423 views last activity

How do I get this achievement when there exist map variation meaning you have to toss a coin to even get it even with the map offering. There's the hand offering to reject map offers. There's other players who can put other map offerings which seems a garanti lost on your own map offering. No only do YOU have to do the GEN on a specific place! YOU have to on top of it, ESCAPE.

A few months ago I made quite a few discussions pointing out the issues within the game, and the reason why slugging, tunneling and camping exist. Clearly we are getting to the point where is just obvious BH wants to improve survivor experience while letting killers suffer from an unbalanced gameplay. 1- When you have players suffering anxiety for playing killer in your game, you might want to8 comments 411 views last activity

I know I am not the first and won't be the last to bring this topic to the table, but since the quality of life initiative updates are on the way I think it is an appropriate time to ask the developers once again what constitutes something to be an exploit or a "tech". A "tech" (or technique) for me is something a player performs to either give themselves an advantage or put their opponent at a1 comments 141 views last activity

Considering the recent post made by one of the developers going over some of the reason why the new killer cannot go vertically is due to the original development teams coding. Considering this, would you be interested in seeing a second Dead by Daylight release with updated code?

You load up, wait a few minutes to start a match. Within the first 15 to 20 seconds you're found first for whatever reason. You kite the killer for a bit, get downed and then.... games done.... The killer decides to hook you, camp outside the hook timer, and just wait. You however are playing solo-Q and pray your team knows how to deal with this situation. They don't unfortunately, and you get s13 comments 411 views last activity

I'm planning to buy Dead by Daylight on Steam during the upcoming sale mainly because of the new DLC. I’ve already unlocked several killers on my Epic Games account and have linked both my Epic Games and Steam accounts to BHVR, although I haven’t purchased the game on Steam yet. Should I launch the game immediately after buying it on Steam and then purchase the DLC to avoid any issues, or wi0 comments 61 views last activity

I know that this one might be an extremely hot take but slugging responsibly, as to create pressure or when someone is purposfully trying to get themselves hooked, or even when i've all but confirmed they had decisive strike.

I'm so ready, bc yall it's wild to see a P100 dc 30 seconds into a match just because they don't like to play against that specific killer (literally happened today actually). Now I understand that Prestige Lvl on a character doesn't mean that's their Account Lvl, but cmon now if you've dumped 85,000,000 - 100,000,000 BP into a single character, you've probably dumped a decent amount of time an6 comments 341 views last activity

Why on Earth is Kaneki on the Killer roster, when there are far more horrible people in Tokyo Ghoul? Characters such as Eto, Takizawa OR Yamori are ACTUAL killers who would fit the bill. I won't deny that Kaneki has his "moments" but those are too far between. No one who actually knows Tokyo Ghoul would describe Kaneki as a "Killer" let alone put him in the game instead of the 3 earlier mentioned17 comments 1,802 views last activity

so let’s get this straight… if you “go next” because you’ve been tunneled, or your teammates are refusing to help you, you are punished. BUT if you don’t like being left on the ground for the killer to go, after somebody else, you can just surrender and essentially “go next”. And the kicker is you won’t lose any blood points for it but if you do so, on the hook, you’re gonna be punished. h5 comments 251 views last activity

Console players make up a large portion of the DBD community, yet they don’t have access to the PTB. I understand that traditional PTBs may not be possible for consoles, but for Xbox players, wouldn’t it be feasible to run it through the Xbox Insiders Program? Right now, only Steam players get to test changes and provide feedback before updates go live, which limits community discussion and bala6 comments 571 views last activity

Heard there is a new killer... heard there are new killer perks... why don't I care as an ex-killer?Possibly that BHVR are making killer as boring as possible. Taking from that the 2v8 there were numerous people interested in playing killer they couldn't get enough people to play survivor so instill that believe in 1v4 making killers almost pointless to play. Why do BHVR constantly look to keep this golden goose alive but make terrible decisions, even the fog whispers are… who, whats their na3 comments 131 views last activity

just got done watching a content creators video on countering the new killer and every time he hits you with his power you go into deep wounds. Mft gives u 3% haste when in deep wounds and Kaneki is a basic m1 killer once you become injured. I predict MFT will become meta for the first couple weeks after the new killer comes out since it’s such a good perk to counter him.3 comments 182 views last activity

https://youtu.be/A0B2CGXmZSg I know with them announcing the "go next solution" people are worried about false positives and that BHVR will use it to just keep unfun mechanics in the game since you can't just leave, And it is a game at the end of the day. But there's also the opposite end of the spectrum of people who just don't seem like they fit in this game anymore or90 comments 2,411 views last activity

It came to my attention these days the issue that some survs are kinda exploiting the Anti Gen Tap mechanic. You repair the gen for a max of 4,9% and then stop. Since regression is a quarter of a charge per second and repair goes as 1 charge/s you can keep doing this until the gen is completed. This way the killer will not know there's a surv repairing it and will be unable to kick it also. W6 comments 341 views last activity

I thought the chapter also could be cooked for more = better experience. I know it's just PTB but still… I hope it's some very old build and the live version has none of these major bugs. It feels almost like Houndmaster PTB which was then also very buggy in live game for like 2 weeks minimum and still it's perfect performance power by this date.15 comments 361 views last activity

Watching a lot of streams and focusing on the good players who have figured him out. His techs and mobility are becoming insane and from what I can tell, survivors are having a pretty tough time against him. It's not a case of skill issue and giving it time for survivors to learn, its a case of not having that many options to begin with. His mobility simply doesn't allow for that much breathing13 comments 591 views last activity
