  • I mean, it’s being nice reading threads about Billy and how they are making it more annoying to use overall and how you can almost justify being annoying because one shot+map traversal, ignoring the fact the everyone needs map traversal ASAP and getting one-shots require hard reads and survivor mistakes (it overheats too quickly when revving, thing you often do while looping to mindgame, zone an

  • My nephew started playing this game not too long ago. I was watching him play a match yesterday against a Myers. Within 10 seconds of the match starting exposed kicked in. It was basically never off after that. Every time it went off it immediately came back on. I don't recall ever seeing that before. Especially a rank 18 killer. The match lasted almost 20 minutes. It was obvious all the players

  • It's a perk whose sole purpose is to camp. Why wasn't it reworked? If you feel the perk is fine, please post your build and how you use the perk. If you use it to camp please justify why you feel camping is healthy for the game.

  • I think having a killer with a hook as a hand and walks in a black slicker and not being able to see the face. I also wouldn't mind seeing Julie James or Helen Shivers as the survivors. However with the speculation of Candyman possibly being chapter 17 he also uses a hook for a weapon. So do you think that lessens the chances for I know what you did last summer. Thoughts ?

  • Silent approach After hooking a survivor you gain the undetectable status effect for 10/15/20 seconds This should be usefull to help trappers on basement hooks or something in this style Sorry for my english

  • What do we have atm? we have loud music in chases. This game would be so much more atmospheric with nice sound effects all over the place and creepy map themes that constantly play outside of chases. There is so much room for improvement on the sound side of the game but it could have a huge impact on how playing as survivor feels. The entity has more then one playfield where it sends survivo

  • First of all, general increasing the time it takes to do a Generator is not the right idea. I think it is necessary to just ballance genspeed out between early and late game. The problem: In earlygame, generators are getting doen to fast. The reason for that is obviously, that survivors are not under any pressure at first, all the pallets are avairable and the map is large at this point.

  • Whats wrong with people? we have the Demogorgon who is a monster. We have killers from the past so we could have killers from the future. How awesome would a spaceship map be? How awesome would alien be? an alien crawling through mac millan estate... make it a stealth based killer and maybe we have some scares finally in the game. The only creepy thing atm is myers suddenly standing somewh

  • I really am tired of that map being the go to 'F U' for survivor offerings. Or even just being rolled it in general. I'd rather have Ormond. At least Ormond doesn't have three thousand mile walls. Heck, I'd take Midwich over Haddonfield. Even though that map is absolutely wretched, at least it looks good.

  • Hopefully someone at BHVR is able to answer this... Is there a limit or cap to the number of people able to be on a friends list? If we were to use this feature for Twitch streaming SWF with viewers would it be able to hold hundreds of entries? Any information would be helpful as we were using a Steam group to allow game joining, but this has stopped working as of the Silent Hill PTB.

  • im asking from a killer POV. I recently finished DBD for me personally (I wanted a good perk set on every killer) and Oni was the last one I had to do. So heres my build I came up with: BBQ (always good but actually extremely useful on Oni) Monitor and abuse (synergy between Discordance and Infectious fright) 40m screams and easyer first hits on people) Infectuous fright (fast downs are easy

  • I'm really surprised at how frequently some of you guys aren't caking up or even worse aren't using any offerings at all. Cake gains are exponential. If everyone burns a cake you get more BP to unlock even more cakes. So 1 cake burnt becomes 5 cakes gained. 5 cakes burned becomes 25 cakes gained. Anyone holding on to cakes or refusing to burn them is making a big mistake. The only exception would

  • Well, I seemed to have either forgotten to play the few days Deathslingers coat was given out, or I got glitched and missed it, but I was wondering with the event extended if any of those will be re-ran or given out through other means next year, or be re-ran during the extended time. They all looked really nice and I think the Deathslinger coat is now the only thing I'm missing. It's alright if

  • So me (Rank 2) and my friend (Rank 8) were just playing a game. 2 gens and everyone was moried but him. After the match i was looking at the rank and what ist this? How can i, a rank 2, be ranked with 2 rank 20? The rank 12 Killer isn't that suprising i often see that but rank 20 how?

  • When me and my friend play DBD we sometimes get matched with a KILLER FROM A DIFFERENT PLACE. We are from ASIA and the KILLER IS FROM UK. How is this possible? Always a free win for them when this happens because sometimes we're too busy on facebook or youtube while the lobby is in process so we cant check the ping, we find out in game that it is SUPER DELAY. Is there a way JUST TO SET IT TO ASI

  • I think every 20(or so times) the entity takes an item, the Killer should gain it for a trinket. Like how Leatherface unlocks faces to wear. So if 20 keys got wasted there is now a new charm! Killer's can showoff their deviousness to all survivours with their pretty key charm.

  • I honestly f hate those,, Sets'' cause i cant mix them in a fun way, i understand the legendary skins to be Sets and Alessia skin being a set but Legion and Nea? For what? I want to mix the hoodie with a p3 head or the pants with the bloody shirt (The head is possible for now, because of a glitch) I really hope They delete those borders cause some players are really creative with their mix-up

  • Can the devs make it so that you don't lose event items while prestiging? For example, the items from this event will not be obtainable after July 14th, and any items I collected will be permamently lost if I ever want to prestige. Unique items should not disappear like that.

  • I think it's not a big problem. It is a end-game perk, so it don't do anything in early and mid game. Also, you can remove this thing with doing totems. I can maybe understand if you just say "No one Escapes Death" but it's a hex.

  • Like DS, this will change the game even in lobbies where it isn't being run. Think about what DS does. If you are a killer, and you enter a lobby where there is an obsession, you have to start off assuming all four players have DS. That affects who you chase, who you pick up, etc. It may be that 0 people out of 4 have it, but you still need to play around it. Lightborn will be the same t

  • It fills me with joy to see that the devs are finally starting to ask some real game-changing questions with their survey, aiming for big imrpovements, like potential overall graphical update of the game. I think it could truly sell this game for new players who in the past have looked at DBD but didn't think much of it without even giving it a chance. I personally love the idea of updated graphi

  • Hello people of the Fog! I'm having an issue unlocking Claudette's 4th anniversary cosmetic (the pants). I logged in today to get them but they aren't showing up in my inventory. From the graphic on the DbD website it said I could log in any time between the 5th & 7th of July (today) to grab them. Am I doing something wrong?

  • They didn't remove curving from his base-kit, they just made it impossible in loops. Let me show you what I mean Below are multiple demonstrations/highlights of curving in loops, what do you notice? https://youtu.be/AueGkVXMlGc?t=5 https://youtu.be/VxbLxLZJS5E?t=17 Yes, all of them involve revving, tons of revving so you can get that curve timing ex

  • Hey there guys! No, this is not a crypost, in fact, is the opposite one. I enjoy playing survivor and killer both in equal terms and, in fact, i have a lot of fun playing them (yeah, we all have bad games, we just need to move on instead of throw cr*p at us like SURV. VS. KILLER isn't it?). So i was reading as guest (since i never got the opportunity to register) this post: https://forum.deadb

  • Dear Devs, Seeing as the ptb is postponed could we get a list of the new add-ons today to tide us over? It'll also give us something fresh to argue about, and so we can get that out of the way and focus on fighting over the powers themselves tomorrow. Yours sincerely, Aneurysm

  • So quite a few people are upset about this and i'm actually wondering why? In the first part of the video the bar was a quarter filled and he sprinted for 8 seconds and it only ended about halfway which means to get it completly full you would have to sprint for 24ish seconds. How often does that happen? Second part the meter was halfway and it took 6 seconds to overheat. Which means it takes 1

  • How many points do killers lose for hitting a survivor on hook?.I stopped playing as killer for a good few weeks now but I’ve never done this.I just had a game where Freddy was chasing a teammate and I away from a generator and he stands and hits me while I’m on a hook until I died.

  • Community: hey devs, we have problems with queue times, matchmaking is terrible, ranking system sucks, they are tons of bugs and 50% of the maps are either killer sided or survivor sided! Devs: ok, well you think that maps suck due to balance? Then lets add a new map that both sides hate, so that there is no balance issue possible! Oh and maybe some overpriced cosmetics would help you forget all

  • The extra FOV can help when survivors try to juke you, but it's weird how it feels like you're moving faster than you really are! 😄 Does anyone use the perk as part of their regular build? Do you find it worthwhile?

  • I play solo. Always. Havent played much this month so i am currently rank 6 survivor. Rank reset is a week away. Im not the best survivor as looping is something i struggle with at the moment. I am going to play survivor and nothing but survivor. If i make it to rank 1, then either the emblem system really is too generous to survivors or solo q is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be

  • When every killer have Barbecue & Chilli? I just lost to Oni 17lvl with this perk, another one. I didn't know he have it! How could i? And when i know, its already to late. :/ HOW this is fair? IMO that's why gameplay is a mess, basically devs cannot balance killer and survivors with shared perks, because those will pile on and they just can't balance every perk with each other. When i p

  • if a survivor is using walls, how do you know? If a killer is using them, how will uou be sure of it? If either are using a .2/ms speed hack thats very subtle, how can you tell? All of these hacks exist. So when people say I've only faced a hacker "x" amount of times, doesn't this seem like a silly statement?

This needs to be patched ASAP. Getting invincibility during an unhook and make or break games. EDIT: Links currently broken. Will update when fixed. EDIT: Link fixed.

  • I gave this some crazy thought and think I've come up with a killer and survivor that would shake up the game. Nicknamed the shapeshifter (the alien from the thing movies) it takes the shape of a grotesque creature with multiple heads and legs but this is only temporary. It's main ability would be that any survivor that you hook up you then take the appearance of that survivor until a time you

  • There was a statistic thrown around by the devs. It was like Kill rates overall and in red ranks + best survivor maps and best killer maps. I Know that the overall rates were pretty high and I would think overaltruism and Genrushing without cleansing totems (Noed) were huge factors why the killrate is so high. But I wanted to ask If DCs are counted as kills in this chart. Because the statist

  • Like, on her it makes the most sense. Her hand which is her weapon is not linked to the body, so you can have a bright body outfit and a weird hand that doesn't make any sense. That's why the most players I've seen use the full set. So making it linked would be much better. It'a fashion error.

  • So as we know, clown is at the lower side of Killer Powers. So ofc I have an idea, probably not the first time you're hearing this, but I have an idea for a buff. So instead of giving him some crazy extra ability that makes him faster, or other things. Just a minor buff that messes with the numbers a bit. Clowns ability allows him to reduce survivor speed by 15% and allows him to cause su
