Whether a survivor is baiting a hit from the killer to avoid being grabbed, or simply griefing, the camera's point of view repeatedly changing is unpleasant. I hope this mechanic is soon retired. And this is coming from someone who is not vulnerable or prone to seizures.0 comments 41 views last activity

Does it gain your tr if its activated by a survivor walking into a inactive drone radius then it becomes active? Or is it only manual activations. Edit:nevermind feel free to close the wiki says manual its just the console one that says when its active in general. https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Iridescent_Unpublished_Manuscript0 comments 41 views last activity

I have gotten adept 2x on Skull Merchant and a couple of other killers. Is this a known bug? Happened on GF and now 2x on SM. Survivor seems fine.10 comments 231 views last activity

So, Twin's mains or more survivors, does anyone know of any tips to loop Victor or not go down so quick? I really just don't understand what i am supposed to do against Victor, there aren't many Twins players, but when they come, i never have a good time. And its not because of the slugging or camping. I just feel powerless against Victor and even if i manage to not get hit and kick him, well i7 comments 231 views last activity

So Ive been playing her a bit, and honestly this is probably one of those killers that I just cant figure out what to do. Which is interesting, since her power is pretty simple on the surface but deep down I can already tell theres lots to learn. Would love to hear what you guys have found works! Perk synergies, drone positions, anything!5 comments 171 views last activity

I am not even joking, trying to get her adept and be done with this torture but good god this killer actually almost caused me to fall asleep on my keyboard. So I have advice for anyone that is struggling to sleep at night: just log on to DBD and play Skull Merchant (Dull Merchant is more fitting), you'll fall asleep in no time. It is kind of a shame this killer turned out like this though. Wesk33 comments 1,341 views last activity

Let's kite the killer into a gen that someone's working on so that the killer is bothering two or three people at once instead of 1... Past 6 matches in a row have been ruined because of someone accidentally/purposefully bringing the killer to gens being worked on. Can I borrow the Skull Merchant's drone and deploy it above my gen to keep survviors away if they're being chased? Situational Awar11 comments 241 views last activity

As a someone who has been playing survivor a little more than killer something has to be done about these cheap tactics that killers love to defend. If you have to tunnel you’re bad and need to get better. If you hold a three gen from the start you are bad, if you camp at 5 gens ur bad. Tunneling and camping are stale strategies and killers do it for easy wins but god forbid a swf gen rushes for59 comments 1,681 views last activity

So I’ve been running full totem build on her tonight. So far I’ve done well. The idea is giving survivors more to interact with while playing against SM. As opposed to gen regression while holding down a 3 gen. Drones around Totems ensure that players will get Clawed. You can run Thrill to make cleansing take longer. As you can always drop a new Drone on top of Thrill before players can cleanse i0 comments 61 views last activity

I bought the newest Chapter on the Xbox store and since roughly mid-day today (EST) Thalita, Renato, and Skull Merchant have been removed from my account. If this is temporary and being fixed no worries, but I also put roughly between 400 and 500k into the new characters (only Thalita and Renato) and I'd really not like if when I get them back that they are just reset.

I know, it's a very "no sh*t Sherlock" statement, but like... It really is a no-brainer, isn't it? From what I could gather, the thing that would hype up players the most is that if they could experience something new and different, and not just the same boring stale gameplay that we had since 2016. I feel like now is very much the time for the devs to just change their schedule, temporarily stop11 comments 721 views last activity

I merely ask because different people have slightly different ideas about what an m1 killer is. At it's most basic, the definition would be 'A killer who can only injure/down survivors with their m1' so basically their power doesn't deal damage, but under this definition: Nurse, Blight and Spirit are all m1 killers Trapper is NOT an m1 killer.

Ive been playing DBD for a really long time now, with roughly 1K+ hours dedicated to Billy itself (900+ hours on Controller, 100+ hours on KBM). And I have a few words about the recent map releases and map reworks that have taken place just to bring light to how awful it really is.

...Here's two tournament-winning Oni performances where the Oni swung into it. Four times total. Twice with his power, and twice with M1.

Thanks for the unnecessary nerf to MYC. The changes you made to screaming perks and addons is a great addition to the game. There is no telling now who touched the gen affected by dragon's grip or who unhooked the survivor. TYVM!19 comments 1,011 views last activity

The community: we don’t want an anti-loop killer! devs: ok the community: we don’t want a gen defense killer! devs: … Seriously, what do you guys want as a killer? It seems the community is never satisfied. I'm not defending the devs, and I can also agree that her 3 gen strat is pretty strong, but you have to see the hypocrisy here.19 comments 501 views last activity

^ Title. Not months or years later, like she really needs changes soon. Most of my games against her have been 30-40+ minutes of trying to break her 3 gen which she starts holding from the start of the match, and has been nearly impossible. I had fun against her on the ptb, but felt she needed chase buffs. What was implemented did nearly nothing for chase, but massively buffed her ability to lock0 comments 61 views last activity

it is rare that i see a game where a killer doesn't tunnel/camp or a team that gen rushes before the current mmr system, i saw more killers that would relax and go for hooks more/use more of a variety of killers and survivors who would take their time on gens and work on looping/team plays with flashlights/sabo perk loadouts at the end of the game were usually different in most cases since the0 comments 31 views last activity

They tried their hardest to bring out a good chapter and they did. The balance and scream changes are good, the maps done right, the killer is really fun and good and the survivors are top notch. I'm glad they made survivors better now that eruption has been nerfed.31 comments 692 views last activity

I've heard multiple people refer to the middle of the night as "demon hours" in DBD, and I'm beginning to wonder. If I play in the early-to-mid evening, I'm almost guaranteed to get a group of friendly casuals who I can wreck so quickly and effortlessly that I almost feel bad for playing like a complete #########. But from around eleven to five, every other game has a P100 or multiple above P5016 comments 761 views last activity

Have yet to play on it unfortunately. Idk if they didn't increase the chances of it getting picked or it's because of the new system where maps don't repeat for any player. I do love this system but I think maybe it could be disabled or reduced for new/overhauled maps. I've played about 40 games and got Temple of Purgation once, no Mother's Dwelling or Shelter Woods :(15 comments 701 views last activity

This is totally subjective but for me personally I'm enjoying playing her, I've wanted another setup killer for a while but there is a glaring issue when facing her. She is just so unfun to play against, especially in anything but a 4 man. She has the same strength and weakness as hag in which she requires coordination to take down. If there is coordination, she is too weak, if there is none, s6 comments 162 views last activity

with the nerf coming tomorrow what's the future hold for Incapacitated? are we just gonna delete it then because I can't really think of any other time you'd get the debuff without using Eruption which was the new status effect to come with it. People just seeth at it so id like to know if it's gonna get used in some other way? Or are we just gonna pretend it doesn't exist because of crying survi37 comments 811 views last activity

it is easier to chew through the hIt states correct? I use legion exclusively right now because his/her frenzy hits apply deep wounds so dead hard isnt available. killers such as bubba, ghostface, and myers should in theory be the correct counter. Why use other killers if you cant successfully mind game and wait out the dead hard? it is like if you have a problem with multiple med kits being40 comments 731 views last activity

I took a break from DBD for about 4 months and have just returned and played a couple of matches in the last days and I honestly was just bored af. Every match comes down to the survivors just dropping every pallet on first contact and that literary working cause there are just soooo many pallets on the map. Every chase is such a drag where they can work with like 7-8 pallets each and when u4 comments 431 views last activity

This is what it has come to sadly, make the game a 3v1 asap or lose. Because no amount of downs or hooks are gonna matter IF the survivors are just efficient at gens. All the new information on the survivor hud is cool for solo survivors but has also massively boosted gen speeds. The gen regression perk nerfs have also encouraged killers to tunnel more, because why go for hooks and not even get r107 comments 2,961 views last activity

Her power is definitely fun to mess with, but it feels more like a half finished character than anything. Although I don't believe she will receive any more meaningful changes in the near future, here is what I had in mind. In my opinion, she is most similar to killers like Freddy, Demogorgon, Plague, and Pig. What do all 4 of those killers have in common?

Got about 700+ hours on killer and recently thought I should probably give survivor a go, here's what I have discovered. It is SO much less stressful to play. Interactions with other survivors has made me laugh heaps. Doing your job as a survivor is easy and almost relaxing. Looping killers is not difficult. Wasting 40-60 seconds of the killer's time is a little too easy. Overall I think32 comments 651 views last activity

And most of it is with Wraith and Hillbilly. So when I play survivor why tf am I getting lobbies where players have anything between 2-12k hours of the game played? With survivors having +100% bps bonus too meaning that there isn't exactly an issue with too many survivors playing the game out there. Also I suck at the game and can't run a single circle to loop a killer once without getting hit le12 comments 351 views last activity

It gives me the feeling that you should not have exhaustion since you are not "gaining" distance with the killer. Change it to 40s cd, so I could still get another exhaustion perk.9 comments 281 views last activity

I ran into this issue in the match I was playing and I'm not sure if this should be happening, it is a bug, or if it is a feature and I'm too dum to figure it out. My understanding with the Drones was that you had to be in their site to actually be tagged by them. On The Game, the Drone was upstairs and I was downstairs and I was getting tagged by the thing and there didn't seem to be anything5 comments 61 views last activity

What in-game modifiers(effects/buffs/debuffs) are specific to killer powers, which are specific to perks, and which can cover both? Where do killer addons fit? Are they more similar to perk buffs/debuffs or more similar to those from killer powers? Not sure if BHVR Devs/Community Managers can chime in however I'll include examples I have seen them state.

Was experimenting with different builds for merchant and came across a pretty fun and viable build The perks are Brutal strength, Fire up, Oppression and Pop (could be replaced with any other gen kick perk).
