If I buy a perk from the shrine can I upgrade it further via the bloodweb the way I can when I get a character to prestige 1? Can I buy all 3 ranks of a perk from the shrine all at once or do I have to wait til it comes back in rotation?4 comments 92 views last activity

I'm doing old tome challenges and on Tome 4 - Level 1 there is a challenge called Quick Thinking and this is where the bug starts: The description reads "Hide in a locker within {2} seconds of being chased by the Killer 1 time(s) while using the perk Quick & Quiet." There's two very obvious red flags here: The first seconds indicator is within curly brackets which seems to indicate on its o1 comments 131 views last activity

how does it exactly work? why sometimes when i vault a pallet/window Wesker refuses to hit survivor that is next to me? Do i need to be looking at him all the time, or is there a short "time window", where if he doesn't detect a survivor right after vault, he won't hit him anymore3 comments 121 views last activity

I know this is weird and sorry this is long but I am just being hopeful. I got into a game with the dredge and saw a really cool skin on him and looked up where it came from because I couldn't find it in the store. It was his cosmetic earned during the masquerade event. I really like the killer and would love to get that skin for him. I was wondering if yall think they would do the event again an4 comments 101 views last activity

I came back to the game after a long hiatus yesterday and I've been using Dwight as my main, but I haven't won a single game as him. However at one point I switched to Kate Denson for old archive challenges and all 3 games in a row I played as her seemed to have players on the killer side that were completely new to the game and I won every match. Keep in mind I pretty much never used Kate before2 comments 51 views last activity

So i'm gonna explain it here since i don't know how to summarize it in the title. I have Pinhead P1, and i'm gonna level him to P3, but what i don't know, if after getting the P3 I unlock The Artist (or any other killer that i currently don't have), will I get the perks (Pinhead's) for her right away or will I have to unlock the perks through Artist's bloodweb? Thank you in advance.3 comments 71 views last activity

I was curious if someone could explain to me the 2 bonus prestige levels dbd is adding to the game in a future update. I had every survivor level 50 (prestige 0) prior to update 6.1 where they introduced the new prestige system. Will the 2 extra levels put all my survivors at level 50 (prestige 2), or will I lose my level progress and only be level 1 (prestige 2). Also how does this work with sur1 comments 92 views last activity

Just wondering what the minimum amount of games I'd need to play is in order to be able to draw some basic conclusions from the data. Obviously, 10 games means very little but 1000 games is way too many to be done quickly. What's the happy medium?4 comments 141 views last activity

Huntress has 2 wind-up time addons, but how is the total wind-up time calculated while using one or both of these addons? For example, for manna grass braid, is the wind-up time calculated like 1.25/ (1 + 0.2)= 1.0416 seconds ? or is it more simply 1.25 - 1.25 * 0.2 = 1.0 comments 21 views last activity

Do flashlights have a small delay between clicking M2 and the beam starting to shine, or is it like on the live servers now? Also, did you feel like flashlight saves have to be done a LITTLE earlier?0 comments 21 views last activity

As the title implies, this is less of a question for the community, and more of a question for BHVR devs (and IDK when the next Q+A stream is coming, so I'm not sure I wan't to wait and see if it gets patched or not til then. So, my question is this; Is the Trajectory-Flick on Wesker going to be patched? If so, why? In my personal opinion, I'd say it shouldn't be, as it takes practice, ex0 comments 31 views last activity

Is there any way to get charms from previous rifts? I haven't been able to play DBD for about 2 years & I want to try to play again soon. I noticed that crow charms exist. I love crows beyond belief & I wanted to know if there's a way to get those charms. Charms: Stuffed Crow from rift 5, Skeletal Crow from rift 7, Blighted Crow from rift 12. Not sure if there's any more from the rifts2 comments 81 views last activity

I am on a steam account that has dbd family shared to it, and when I previously tried to buy auric cells with steam funds it wouldn't let me as I don't technically own the base game. I'd like to pick up wesker and sadako, but steam only sells the dlc as bundles with the survivors and it costs about double per killer that way. Is there any way for the account with the actual base game to buy the k1 comments 271 views last activity

So I'm wondering about the interaction between lifeguard whistle and thorny vines. Lifeguard whistle allows you to detect survivors near open portals with killer instinct without channeling from the abyss. Thorny vines increases the range at which you can detect survivors portals when using from the abyss. Does this apply to the passive detection you get from lifeguard whistle too?4 comments 52 views last activity

I was just curious about what all will get transferred? Does high inventory override or add to your account as well as cosmetics? Excluding some exclusives like charms I know do not. Do the higher prestige add to your total or override when you share cross progression?

How does it work? Sometime killers shake a lot and have an hard time even walking straight or crossing doors, sometime it seems they are totally unaffected; I don't think it's related to hitting crit on the wiggle check, so what? When I play killer it seems I've to struggle 90% of the times, and if I don't move the shake is really big3 comments 91 views last activity

In facing my first 5 minute ban, but not because I DC'd. It literally kicked me out of the match saying Disconnection From Host. One second Im trying to avoid hatchets from Huntress, next I get kicked out and banned for five minutes. I had no reason to DC, the match had just started and I hadnt been hit yet.

When calculating Kill rates, does BHVR account for all the games when a killer lets survivors go? I've had 5 games today where the killer just let the entire group of survivors escape.1 comments 31 views last activity

Do you know if missed attacks that hit an obstacle have the same cooldown as normal missed attacks. If yes, theoretically you could reduce the recover time after hitting a locker (that has a lock) with Unrelenting, making it actually useful.1 comments 31 views last activity

So... I was playing a regular Plague match the other day, nothing out of the ordinary, except that at 2 or 3 points of the match I got this symbol at the bottom right of the screen and every time I wanted to break a pallet the animation lasted like ages. At least double the normal animation time. I checked all Ada's and Rebecca's perk description and it d4 comments 232 views last activity

Hi, I used to play a lot on switch and had a lot of content including the stranger things dlc content but the game on my switch stopped working about 6 months ago, so I have transferred to playing on my ps5 and have now built up a large amount of content on my ps5 but I’m missing the stranger things content so I was wondering if I buy the nightmare edition will I be able to keep all my progress a0 comments 31 views last activity

Hello Dead by Daylight forum users! I've played DBD for a few years now with month long breaks in-between. I've played a lot of killer and have grasped many fundamentals for killer and been rank 1 multiple times (I don't know if that means anything tbh). Anyways, I started playing survivor because I figured I would be halfway decent and because my friends got the game to play with me. However, I2 comments 52 views last activity

Hi all. This is probably two questions, one on the mechanics and then one on strategy. It’s also a bit wordy so apologies! Let’s say I want to play most of my killer games as The Cenobite, using somebody else every now and then, but I want to equip a Trapper perk at tier three. Am I right in assuming that I have to prestige the Trapper once in order to give the Cenobite access to his perks (at ti1 comments 51 views last activity

Currently running DBD through Epic Game Store (got it when it was free to download). Usually I run mouse and keyboard, but occasionally I like to use a controller. Using a new PDP Xbox One controller and it seems to be acting erratically. On the main menu it randomly opens the daily rituals, and on the character select screen it flips between rituals and character info. I've also noticed that th7 comments 663 views last activity
