At this point, pretty much everyone here has a strong understanding of the game, but that wasn't always the case. We were all new once. I remember the first time I played this game in 2022 with my partner. SWF'd together and got into a match against Myers. He found me first and was just standing there. I thought he was being cute/friendly so I walked up, gestured, ran in circles, told my partn68 comments 804 views last activity

From time to time I post some mechanic and status effects ideas in hope that somehow it will impact Behaviour new perks in the future and also because I would love more interesting perks in the pool besides repetition of we already have in diffrent forms that is quite common. So thats why I wanted to ask. Do you have something that you would love added in the game in form of status effects or mec16 comments 131 views last activity

It has been quite some time since Krasue was added to the game, and like many new killers she went through the usual phase of community hate. A lot of players initially didn’t want to understand how her power works. However, after months of gameplay, people have figured out a very simple counterplay: just grab a mushroom and bodyblock the infected survivor during a chase. This can waste a huge am14 comments 292 views last activity

In the current game, one gen is equivalent to about 2.5 hooks, lets round up to 3 for simplicity. Let's change the game to only a single generator can be worked on at a time. The moment the one chosen generator gets done, all gens are blocked until the killer secures 3 hooks. What do survivors do then you might ask? Well nothing, they get to "play the game" as the most common tunneling complai5 comments 111 views last activity

Dead by Daylight was designed around limited survivor communication . In-game we only have gestures and basic interactions. This limitation is clearly part of the tension and asymmetry that defines the game. However, in practice, many survivor groups play as SWF using external voice communication (Discord and similar tools) . This completely changes the information structure of the match.

Killers should not be balanced according to statistics. Statistically, the Nurse is average, but sheI have 7k hours of Dead by Daylight, I've had my mono oni, mono spirit, mono surv days, I play with all the killers. To this day, I don't understand what Behavior is waiting for to nerf Blight and Kaneki. These two killers are absurdly strong when played by someone who masters them due to their mobility. Blight hitting the 5th bump with Crow and Rat has no counterplay; there's no time to do anyth1 comments 181 views last activity

so I took a long break from dbd. I was on a two month break before Springtrap, and then played him for a handful of games and haven’t touched dbd since….until recently. As in one day. And every game is a trash heap dumpster fire of bullshit. As a killer all the survivors I get anymore all just bring gen speed builds and maybe one with a flashlight bully build and just pound gens like they’re goin9 comments 311 views last activity

I've noticed a bit of a negative and repetitive gameplay loop both as survivor and killer. If the killer decides to tunnel, and does so successfully, it will force the team to sacrifice themselves to protect the tunneled survivor. If the killer has mobility powers with gen regression perks, it's basically game over. If the killer can insta-down, and they decide to proxy-camp near a 3 gen, it's ba0 comments 91 views last activity

Prestige 12 has been achieved and Im gonna be honest I genuinely didn’t think i would enjoy playing as Krasue as much as I am but Im having fun so who really cares. Another update at prestige 13.

With Patch 9.0.0 BHVR changed how the AFK crow system works. Which also directly or indirectly (not sure if this was an intentional change. Hopefully it wasn't) buffed Head On to work even though you have AFK crows on you. Before 9.0.0 if you get a single afk crow you no longer would be able to use head on. Which makes sense as it stops players from going afk for the entire duration until the ki9 comments 251 views last activity

Back at it again with a discussion thread to fuel why we love this game. Stop by, take a seat, and have a break from balance discussions for a moment. I think micro-moments in this game are one of the main things that keeps people coming back. There is fun in the macro game, juggling and balancing multiple things, planning/predicting and getting great outcomes, but what keeps me playing are th18 comments 322 views last activity

The first Naughty Bear game was my child and I played it for hours. I would love them to add a Multi-player mode where One player is Naughty Bear and the others are The Other Bears trying to survive and take down Naughty Bear. So you can experience the Other Bears POV of what Naughty Bear does. That would be so fun if they do it right2 comments 41 views last activity

I will assume most people have forgotten the fact that Behavior Interactive was the developer for the game "Naughty Bear" back in 2010. Im not saying make Naughty Bear a killer, its possible yeah. Thats not what Im getting at, the concept is basiclly the same from Naughty Bear to Dead by Daylight. A Killer is trying to sacrifice Partygoers/Military/Zombie Bears/Magical Bears.

Since the beginning DBD has been known for their licenses of iconic characters from movies, games, ect and they have brought in alot of attention from those fanbases. Starting in 2023 it feels like they have gone into overdrive with licenses, in the span of a few months we got DND Tomb Raider and Castlevania and that trend has continuted to this day. I get why they do this as signing these deals21 comments 422 views last activity

Just curious if anyone else have encountered this, pallets that have always been guaranteed spawns are not spawning and leading to deadzones. its less common then before they said they fixed it but I'm still noticing it on occasion. Map seems really off in general, there is also a hook where you can get stuck behind someone on hook if you try to body block hook but fail.15 comments 424 views last activity

I am sick and tired of the bullshit "us vs them", especially from those players who refuse to play both sides. We can't force anyone to play both sides but, a game mode that would have the killer and the survivors have to work TOGETHER to win could actually help. Even if only temporarily How this would go could be so many things, like having to build or destroy something, or a race against a ti10 comments 241 views last activity

Edit: Check post further down that visualizes how this would be improved for everyone. I feel like this post got misunderstood because all I'm suggesting is improved options for both PC and Console players. When you turn off cross-play, queue times are insanely long. I gave up waiting after 15 minutes (survivor). One reason it's like this, is because the default setting for cross-play is en26 comments 986 views last activity

I think people became efficient and started using toolboxes and perks for gens because that's the only way they can win games. After anti-tunnel, anti-slugging changes being dumped I feel like they lost their hope for the game's health and enjoyment. Killers now just tunnel most of the time, more than they did before.

Generator Rework Concept (Addressing lack of Intractability, Unfair Repair Speeds, Countering 3 Gen)The Problem And Misunderstanding Survivors don't genrush because of killer desperation tactics (killers do these often because survivors genrush), they do so because there's nothing else for survivors to do Now one could argue that running all of these resources is completely unnecessary, seeing as most killers aren't strong enough to beat a team of well versed survivors, but it is really borin14 comments 291 views last activity

In the last two days i won more than half the games of killer i played, i won 20, tie 4 and lost 8 times. most of the times i lost was againts a four mans opposite to that on survivor i lost almost every game, killer being this easy and survivor being this hard reminds me of the rank system were there was no matchmaking and the game feels the same now.2 comments 61 views last activity

Some legendary skin characters deserve to become their own characters with or even without perks. I’m going to speak on the main ones are some of the Resident Evil characters.

Beyond the long drawn out thing this will cause, the devs need to stop only caring about their killer player base. I understand that they, will not name the NUMEROUS big streamers or content creators that are only killers, even though some claim both sides. Watch their content they end up showing bias. Truth last year, 2025, killer got FNAF, ghoul , krasue, the first. with some of those, there we27 comments 851 views last activity

I was just in a match and I had a salt statuette, which I used, after the match ended it told me I lost a grade and it would continue to happen if I kept "trying to leave the match early".

I understand why Springtrap was the primary choice for the chapter's killer, and ive heard "Scott doesn't want the other animatronics as killers because they are kids" arguement before.

Resident Evil speaks for itself everyone knows the series well enough to know its place in pop culture and horror in general. With RE9 now out and it selling 5 million copies it is safe to say the game is at least a success profits wise, but is it truely deserving to be added as the first IP in DBD history to have three chapters representing it?

If a bunch of people are struggling to play a game, I understand where the whole gamer advice of "get good," comes from. In a lot games, just putting in the practice and effort makes sense.

These two exhaustion perks have been a main stay in the meta and it very likely at least one survivor is using one of these perks. They might not seem to problematic for some killers unless your a m1 killer or a killer with poor mobility like (Trapper, Ghostface Merchant, ect. When one of these two perks are used against them its pretty much a instant chase win. If you sprint burst towards the sh41 comments 1,373 views last activity

The ability to pick an older terror radius and chase music. Things like Executioner and Oni's old music at least imo are way better than their current ones.

I feel like every match it's always the same maps, Saloon, RPD, Nostromo, Dvarka, or Lerys. I swear every match it's been the same and I'm getting really annoyed because certain maps are terrible to play on and I want more variety, map offerings have been gutted and It feels so boring repeating the same map over and over, anyone else experiencing this?11 comments 293 views last activity

Like the Title says…i would love Bhvr to reduce this massive load of Add Ons and Offerings. I love the map and key having so few add ons and i would love it to happen to the other items as well. The same with Offerings. There are so damn many Bloodpoint Offerings storing in the inventory of every single player, like the bonus bp in special categories. Just remove them and make it like: brown 21 comments 51 views last activity

I swear i feel like its not enough. Like having a very long game only to get 30k Bloodpoints and 100k if you bring a Offering or Addon is not enough. I think its more fair to raise the max of everything so matches feel more rewarding even if you lose or win. Would that be a good thing6 comments 132 views last activity

This is highly out of my usual topic, but I have noticed interesting thing yesterday. For last few months on survivors, I forced myself to play without any exhaustion perks and without WoO, simply to get better and not get carried by perks (nothing wrong if you want to use those), I was just happier for longer chases that way.

since i haven't posted here on the forum in a while, I wanted to see how 2v8 would work in custom games. If BHVR released access to the traditional 2v8 mode publicly every 3 months "only in public games", that would be great, but if the 2v8 mode were permanent in custom games, it wouldn't cause any problems in my opinion.

I understand that people will always camp and tunnel as long as it’s the most viable/low effort way to win, but can we please get rid of the unhook notification or at the very least get rid of it for mobility killers? I’ve watched so many people literally drop chase with an injured survivor, just to go back and tunnel when they hear the notification. Efficient? Yes. Very lame to play against tho.89 comments 2,262 views last activity
