Hello BHVR team and Dead by Daylight community, I would like to suggest Eric Hill and Chrissie from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning as possible Survivors for Dead by Daylight. I know that Sally Hardesty is probably the most iconic and realistic choice from the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre , but I think Eric and Chrissie would also be very interesting additions,0 comments 22 views last activity

https://x.com/DicasByDaylight/status/2069454519642001902?s=20 Had so many people as I was leveling up knight saying it was "intended counterplay" not like he didnt have enough with the banner and the window faking. Glad the guards actually do the phasing now its made him more fun in the cases survivors try to deploy it again to find it doesnt work.

I recommend this video cause he explains everything perfectly. This needs to be adressed. Survivors are just playing on a autopilot and are NOT punished for their mistakes. while killers are getting punished for playing well, thats not how it should work and Most (not all of them) survivor mains are complaning and ruining the matches for others and being toxic (killers can be toxic as well but t12 comments 371 views last activity

just had a survivor match against this sweaty ghoul, kept tunneling me off hook until at one point this Feng drops a pallet im running to, trapping me and the Ghoul downs me but just stares at the feng and me. He then decides to let me wiggle off and proceeds to fly away and slaughter the Feng and the rest of my team. He then gave me hatch and gave me a few nods.

Saying this in a completely unbiased way. On PTS I had very little experience with Jason and actually first agreed with some players thinking "Yeah he's gonna need a nerf before launch" but after being able to play both against and as him more on the regular game no he doesn't need nerfing to please the bully SWFs. For once in like 4 years those at BHVR actually made a killer almost perfect on22 comments 541 views last activity

I find trickster to be completely abusable depending on the map he's on. On map's with high rock loops like the one that got reworked with Skull Merchant(sorry I don't know the name), he feels completely countered by running him tightly around a rock you can't see over or get line of sight long enough to get a blade in. The same could be said with a chunk of indoor maps where it's corner after co11 comments 301 views last activity

I really wish that at the end of a game, if hatch is open but the survivor doesn't reach it in time, then the camera would pan to the position of hatch to show you where it was. I've played so many games where I or another survivor has been looking for hatch for ages and ended up dying first, either by the killer or the entity, and I would just love to know how close to/far from hatch they wer0 comments 31 views last activity

So I uninstalled a little while ago and based on the new survivor perks I'm glad I did, we all have known as killers for a while now that BHVR is catering to weak newbie players with no skill and in turn the side effect is that swfs became incredibly strong more so than they already were, which is mostly what you go up against 9/10 games after you have a single good game against survivors and nev5 comments 181 views last activity

So, this sounds crazy, and you're probably like, omg girl, this is so simple. But this is actually making me insane. I have tried every Email that I have ever had and the 3 that were actually tied to an account on DBD (I have played on PC and Switch before crossprogression was even a thing) and none of them were the one tied to the account I use on XBOX. And I need to merge/link the account tied0 comments 81 views last activity

hey guys! as we all know each killer has add ons that make our power stronger in diffrent ways! Over the years weve had people come up with some insane add on combos such as Vanity Mirror + Lock Of Hair, Engravings with Spiked Boots. and much much more! now i turn it to you! what is your fav add on combo to run? and why do you like running it? anything you want to change to maybe make it more7 comments 81 views last activity

Have the dev's spoken out specifically about Coldwinds intensely bright map? Every other discussion post about coldwind is turn down the brightness, can't see anything, give it back the dark aesthetic. Have the dev's actually spoken out about it? Or is it just something they have yet to comment on?16 comments 261 views last activity

How come this change wasn't listed in the patch notes? For those unaware the haste got bumped back to 13% but now it only applies if the survivor doesn't hit the environment. Overall a pretty big nerf to the addon and odd to omit from patch notes.14 comments 351 views last activity

I am dealing with a bug in game that is probably linked to my cloud data because the same issue is showing when i play on ps5, steam deck, or my gaming pc. I dont see any other players with this issue at all, ive tried everything in the book that i could do on my end, evening talking with friends who are dbd content creators and are all dumbfounded by it. any help would be amazing because when8 comments 191 views last activity

Hi, I'm new and I've been playing mostly Killer but also as Survivor, so I know that most Killers won't let any Survivor escape (and they don't have to, I know) which can be a bit stressful for SoloQ/new players. That's why I usually let all Survivors escape after I hook them all twice and give them some final chase. But I have two questions: - Does doing this affects my MMR so it keeps me being5 comments 141 views last activity

I've been enjoying The Slasher and using his perks in various builds, but the one that stands out the weakest by a mile is his hex perk. While the hindered value isn't bad at all, it's the 3 seconds that makes it near useless. Using this hex: The killer has to exclusively basic-break pallets/walls, which provides decent distance for the survivor off the bat. The duration is so miniscule, it p4 comments 152 views last activity

As has been made aware previously (in a comment to a forum post, which is rather poor on a communication front to the community), during updates that release a new killer starting with Stranger Things 2 and as seen recently with Jason, zero balancing changes are been made. Instead, they are being relegated to mid-chapter patches. Understandably, this has some concerns; the game will become very s0 comments 71 views last activity

The problem being that most Killers are not weak, but survivors have become too strong. The amount of basekit stuff survivors have been getting and nerfs killers have gotten, has made it so the later feel weak. The solution from BHVR is to release more oppressive killers that can counter all of it… and this is the point we are reaching, a killer with a ridiculous amount of tools to ease such a me7 comments 211 views last activity

One of the content creators said that they aren't animated, they are in fact static images. How can this be? The banner especially should be animated. If this is true, this is extremely disappointing for a limited edition 10th anniversary collector's edition exclusive cosmetic to be basic and static. I hope the devs will consider making both items Ascended.0 comments 61 views last activity

DBD-BLACKBANQUET-1.jpg DBD-BLACKBANQUET-2.jpg I know somebody is gonna say "they are supposed to look weird" but they are really off-putting(and I don't mean in a good way). I mean just look at their design, especially the masks. This may not be accurate, but until stated otherwise I suspect these may be AI generated, especially the masks.19 comments 793 views last activity

When unhooked - survivors should absolutely be able to take an endurance hit. The issue is though that INCREDIBLY often survivors that were just unhooked will bodyblock a survivor from chasing another survivor - either forcing the killer to either hit the unhooked survivor (inflicting deep wound) and chasing that survivor (tunnelling) OR try to wiggle around the bodyblocking survivor - though thi10 comments 211 views last activity

Look, I'm not going to get into the discussion of whether or not Jason is horrifically overpowered in this discussion. But I am looking forward to the new event and I don't want it ruined by constantly going up against Jason who is horrifically boring to play against. Can we please just not have him in the event so it can be fun for everyone? The Jason players can bully people in regular games20 comments 341 views last activity

Again. And somehow you added EVEN MORE pallets again. Devs, this cannot possibly be intended…. You seriously need to look at pallet density.

Deep wound should still regress whilst running but at lower amount (ie 25% as quickly) - this would help to decentivise survivors abusing protection hits when off-hook. Furthermore, the base deep-wound healing time should be increased by 1 - 2 seconds (but thats an afterthought)3 comments 71 views last activity

If you're going to nerf healing percentages, repair percentages, movement speed etc. then shouldn't perks that reveal also be nerfed? Same mechanic, stacking aura reading should be nerfed as well. Behaviour nerfed flashlights, gen kicks, hooks used to not respawn, like all of these "balance" changes that just feel super lopsided every single time.

Fellow survivor players I urge you to start using this extremely slept on and powerful perk if you haven't already. For those who do not know Self-Preservation does the following: Whenever another Survivor is hooked, you gain Elusive for 30s This genuinely counters so many things as it quite literally gives you the strongest effect in the game. Elusive which is an effect that hides your Aura,8 comments 151 views last activity

Just had this thought for fun but I wonder, if every killer in the game had an "ultimate" ability unique to them, what would each of theirs be? I'm not considering the balance side of this or anything like that, more just a fun thought of each killer having an extra unique and powerful ability that may or may not have a small downside for em after using it and whatnot, like in hero shooters.

Was playing a few games as killer today and was met with some, lets say, unhappy survivors post game. Now i played the games fairly casual. Didn't sweat for the 4k or hard tunnel anyone yet still they arn't happy (Even had the ole Instant DC because they got sniped thru a wall by vecna). Why can't we just play DBD for fun anymore.

A few years ago I would have understood that a thing like that would be impossible when you still could swap killers in the lobby but right now this should perfectly be possible to implement in the game as a toggle option. If you enable it you can't face the same killer back to back.

For anybody who doesn't use Jason or a totem build, this is an amazing time for you to play literally any killer. In my personal experience I've had at least 2 survivors per game running inner focus or urban evasion. Which means way less survivors are running broken perks.1 comments 81 views last activity

recently I've found myself in an argument with a mod trying to tell me that people who tell killers to kill themselves actually get banned. despite the fact this community is full of people who think its ok to tell killers this to the point its an actual stereotype of this community, and the fact there are people who have been doing this for years without being banned. not to mention streamers w3 comments 161 views last activity
