Synopsis: After years of begging, Konami has decided to grant BHVR permission to make a (1) Silent Hill map. You are only allowed to get Douglas Cartland and Eileen as legendries for Cheryl. PH gets a shirtless skin. Which iconic location from the Silent Hill franchise would you like to see explored again?

Chapter Title: Flush of Fear Killer Name: The Pervert Survivor Name: Zara Gomez Map: The Old Rest Stop The map is a rundown rest area at the edge of a forgotten highway. It features large public bathrooms, a maintenance shed, and a sewer system that runs beneath the area.

Why does the Chucky power still describes scamper as an special ability in Hidey-Ho Mode if the on command scamper has been removed? No way y’all didn’t change the description all this long time and scamper has been removed nearly a year ago…1 comments 51 views last activity

We got the March killer PTB coming around February 12 if previous PTB Dates repeat the pattern. We’re getting the Freddy rework next week. We got the solo OG survivor that might bring something new because Mikela was the last OG half chapter and she brought boons. In may the FNAF PTB will come out which is going to be insane.

The frames are terrible, your inputs are ever so slightly delayed, ping is high for everyone, and good luck playing a ranged charecter cause aiming with switch is one of the hardest things I’ve tried doing. It’s also a kick in the balls cause the graphics are eh to be kind. Words on shirts are illegible and skins don’t look near as good as other consoles.8 comments 193 views last activity

I know alot of people will hate on me and start unneeded drama over this post but i dont care. Since the release of houndmaster she is beyond broken. How do we consider her balanced especially after PTB ... Shes literally as fast as cloaked wraith, plqy a match against her and shes soooo fast without bloodlust it makes no sense.

Maybe its just cus of the winter break that friends are coming together and all to play, but there has been a massive jump in 4 man SWFs who do nothing but run deja vu, quick gambit, prove thyself, wake up, friendly competition and adrenaline. These people do nothing but do gens for 4 minutes while one dude just pre drops and gives quick gambit to all 3 of their jockies. This has been super unfu125 comments 2,735 views last activity

Most perks on both sides are not very useful, or only work in a very specific build or context. There are several perks that are actively detrimental in most situations. This matters slightly less for Survivors than it does for Killer, because they have more perks overall in a lobby, can bring items and have more base-kit utility now than they did in the past. Many Killers (and Ki0 comments 31 views last activity

what would yall say is the best build/perks for a solo escape streak in 2025? I know the usual deli, sole survivor and wake up will always be there but ik dh used to be very helpful for solo escape streaks but ever since its gotten nerfed I'm wondering what’s been the next best build for a solo escape streak.

Killer's don't want to play the game to have fun with random perks, you know, trying to get value from them. They want to win no matter what. And because their build has no slowdowns they are playing as sweaty as possible. It also doesn't help when I am getting tunneled but I have Spine Chill, Cut Loose, Invocation and Still Sight People don't understand the point of Chaos Shuffle I guess.

After the controversal Trickster update comes, his recharge animation changed too, i thought this was a bug, but aparently, its not a bug.

The DBD yearly stats are rolling out, and I think it'd be cool to have a thread where we all share our individual stats!

I've been curious about this for a while, but I don't get too far on other platforms in terms of legitimate discussion, so I figured I'd ask here. What's the reasoning for giving up on hook, or "going next", rather than disconnecting from the match? And for the people who do this frequently, what brings you back to playing more survivor matches?16 comments 541 views last activity

There are a lot of things going under radar in dbd community, but how I see ZERO complains about him, it just blows my mind. I know the reason, but anyway. And no, I'm not gonna talk about tunneling at all, it's chase. PH is my second most hated killer to go against. Why? Well, there are two ways. 1.

I quit DBD last year, after giving 3.4k hours of my life to the game. Just this past weekend, my girlfriend and her siblings decided to pick up the game for their weekly sessions and they appeared to really enjoy it. However, because my girlfriend was using my pc/account, I could tell they were not being provided the usual new player experience.

I dont like the secrecy going around with these obscure charms, so I created this post to gather information and to not let anyone in the dark. Nobody likes to miss out on something they could have gotten. Charms are mostly a one and gone thing so we should share all the information we have to make sure that everyone had a "fair" chance to get them.

So I had an idea of a mode that would heighten the chaos of DBD by letting both sides be extremely powerful. It's a 1v4 where there's six generators to be repaired. But everyone in the trial gets to use eight perks each. So it's double the power and unpredictability, making survivors somewhat near as powerful as killers can be. Survivors get two items to bring in. Killers get four add ons as oppo1 comments 41 views last activity

It's like the dev in charge of it implemented the most basic of blacklist filter systems, threw in every known keyword they could think of, and left it at that. No effort at all put into this filter, it will block whole paragraphs if it detects a single keyword in its blacklist meaning even if you are merely explaining something or even just saying something non-offensive, your entire paragraph9 comments 301 views last activity

I was playing a match of Skull Merchant (because why not) and noticed that half the time I would place a Drone and it was just sit there… and not rotate at all. I didnt have the Low-Power Mode add-on equipped either, they would just sometimes rotate and sometimes they just wouldnt. Like is this intended? Is there something Im missing here?

Any additions y'all would like to add? Trapper: Placing traps on the exit gate switches is the biggest 🤓 thing you can do in this game. Wraith: No beef; a nice, balanced killer. Hillbilly: Players have forgotten he has a hammer. 🤯 Nurse: No beef; I just believe her terror radius should be larger. Shape: PTSD whenever I see a Léry’s offering.

I have had 3 games in a row now where RIGHT as i was about to win, the server magically shuts down. And i mean RIGHT. One was when i beat the survivor to the gate, they opened it, but i downed them, and half a second later the server shuts down. The second was right as i killed someone, and this third one right now happened during the mori animation.0 comments 71 views last activity

Love this. Simple perks, and sometimes gens fly, but nothing beats the moment when a survivor realizes the pallet dropping made no distance, or sometimes less distance than just taking the hit and booking it. Often gets called "scary" because of how ineffective pallets are, and I can just hit through windows. Also thematically works well with the "I'm too24 comments 711 views last activity

Why don't we just give survivors just 1 hook state? May as well since every killer wants to slug slug slug! I mean slugging bypasses 8 hook states anyways so why even have 3 for each survivor?40 comments 591 views last activity

I see Chaos Shuffle has started and decide to hop on after a week break from DbD. And how do my first two games of the modifier go? Get matched against the same slugging Pinhead twice in a row.

If you check out the link, the report was about killer belongings like sadako's TV spawn and xenomorph tunnel spawn doesn't spawn by next to gens during an event or the use of an offering to add extra chest thus creating issue And apparently this isn't counted as a bug but a feature instead Which like........

I go down but noticed their not picking me up just leaving me on the ground.

I know their rare to find but I've seen like this a survivor wears a legacy outfit most likely their going to be destroyed because the killer will just target them even then I've had teammates using a legacy outfit and boom we end up dead. I get their old and I started playing on ps4 in 2018 so legacy outfits were long gone. But to me legacy outfits I feel like are just there to show you played9 comments 301 views last activity

I'm sorry if this video has already been posted on the forums, but I physically had to stop what I was working on so I could make this post. This is BIG news — and its unfortunately going to cost BHVR a lot of money. A major YouTuber found out that MMR is revealed through privacy data requests. I wonder if BHVR will change their mind in reaction to this YouTube video and make the data public. A60 comments 1,872 views last activity

I just got disconnected from the server twice today. You first aren't able to use your power. Meanwhile the survivor can still do their actions. Then it says that you got disconnected from the server. And of course I'm getting a DC penalty. This is not acceptable. And I'm certain it's one of the players in the lobby who are responsible for this. I'm playing on LAN so my internet shouldn't be the0 comments 41 views last activity

My queues on either side are kinda long right now. Easily double that of the normal queue. Was watching a streamer earlier today and they commented that the queues feel bad too.

https://youtu.be/jFTIsKrHvug?si=oPV_D9rD5Ulm0R5e Summary of the video: Chest spawns are decided first AND THEN killer powers (such as alien, plage, etc) which both use the same spawns, so more chests = more bad spawns for your killer power.

I feel like getting hit through windows is way more frequent now for both sides. I don't know exactly when it started but I took a big break about a year and a half ago, came back a few weeks ago and noticed it immediately. At first I thought it was due to the recent server issues and/or bad ping. But I notice it a lot when playing killer as well, and crazy hits due to bad ping shouldn't be noti40 comments 983 views last activity

Introduction If you have played Blight or keep up with his patch notes, you'd know Adrenaline Vial used to be a really strong add-on for Blight with 4 significant benefits. It has since been dramatically nerfed and is widely considered to be an add-on that massively nerfs Blight's power in exchange for insignificant benefits that fail to outweigh the downside.
