what happened, was it just a design change, I really liked the mixed race doctor we had... or was he always intended to just be black? where they trying to separate from his real life counterpart?1 comments 52 views last activity

I’ve read his tone so I know he was about as evil as they come before he was taken by the entity. But looking at it like that he seems like he’d be one of the killers who is willing to kill and doesn’t need to be tortured/forced like the trapper or mind controlled like the wraith. So I’m curious. I don’t remember any signs of him being a masochist in his lore so why does he have his eyes/mouth pr9 comments 601 views last activity

In the lore it states: Leatherface kills not from a desire to exert his will over others, to satisfy carnal urges, or even to quiet the voices in his head. He kills because he is scared. Scared that others will hurt him; scared that his family will be displeased with him, scared that their shared willingness to eat human flesh will be discovered. While I'm not good at digging deep into lore,27 comments 2,142 views last activity

This is my estimate of the power scaling between the current killer of the game. I probably should've put Oni higher and idk that much about some of the licensed killers so they could potentially be way off. I'm open to critique or questions about my reasoning behind placements. Alternatively you could just make your own lists: https://tiermaker.com/cre16 comments 521 views last activity

Shout out to all you D&D fans out there! If each of the killers were under the alignment chart, what moral alignment they’ll fall under?9 comments 881 views last activity

WARNING: this post contain spoilers to the Saw series yep, I'm going to talk about something so little detail about the Saw 1 room, because I wanted to see a replicated copy of what the room looked like after Saw 2, expecting to see Adam, Zep and Saw 2 guy there as well. but instead, we got Adam in the right place but not wearing his white shirt and a new body. a guy in a blue shirt that s10 comments 531 views last activity

I get they were all murder before they were taken and enjoy killing but dont they get tired of killing people everyday every second are they being forced to do this and what happens if they disobey the entity24 comments 2,312 views last activity

Lorewise, I’m just wondering what sin each killer would fall under? I honestly think the idea is interesting and I like to see what you guys think.25 comments 981 views last activity

i have this question,why are the infected walking in bill's cutscene from the tome?. i mean,IIRC,they were always infected people who walk when no survivor is on sight,and run when they see one,but in DBD cutscene,they are zombies with green skin,with exposed limbs and desfigured skin?? how is that?. or maybe it's an alternative universe where they were zombies instead of infected? or the first20 comments 817 views last activity

Just a little warning first, this thread might contain some spoilers to the Saw series. Okay, so basically my question is, why would the Entity take Amanda rather than John? Why take a henchman (not sure whether this is the right word) over a master minded psychopath that always thinks one step ahead of everyone? It certainly can't be the fact that John didn't actually wanted to kill his vi23 comments 941 views last activity

I always wondered, if legendary skins like Lisa, Cebill or Jonathan Byers are trapped people like all playable survivors, or are they just a manifestation of the entity to make survivors believe that they are not alone or give them a pinch of hope to be able to escape? When I bought Jonathan's skin, I made myself a kind of role, that Nancy was surprised and sad to see Jonathan trapped next to he5 comments 111 views last activity

Like are the killers holding back in the trials in order to feed the entity more of the survivors fear and stuff or are the killers actually giving it their all.8 comments 191 views last activity

So earlier this week I saw a post here talking about Jill being from RE3 and how that completely destroys everything we know about RE games involving Jill after that point (same with Leon and RE2) because they were in their outfits from those games. I had asked the question "How do you know they're from Resident Evil 3?" They kept using cosmetic choice as a reason. Which to me, it was very curiou14 comments 441 views last activity

Previously I asked which Survivors you guys shipped and got so many fun answers! Now I'd like to know which Killers you ship! 😍 (feel free to ship Killers x Survivors too!) I ship... Nurse x Pyramid Head - maybe this is just because of the nurses from S.H. but it just clicks in my mind. Trickster x Kate - they are both modern day, they are both celebrities, she toured in Asian circuits... I32 comments 473 views last activity

Something just occurred to me. (others might have noticed it before, too) Classic Freddy, compared to the 2010 version was able to traverse realities, not just the dreamworld. is that an in-universe reason why the entity picked 'new' freddy?7 comments 122 views last activity

This might not be the right place for this and I'll move if it isn't but why did The Doctor's lore change? His backstory on his wiki page is noticeably longer and more detailed than his in-game backstory, and I remember the wiki one more than I remember the current one. Is there a reason for the change? And does anyone know when it was changed in the first place?6 comments 792 views last activity

Since we don’t have any lore as to how and why Nemesis, Jill and Leon got taken into the Fog, I thought it should be fun to guess what the zombies are doing in the Entity’s Realm lore-wise. Were they taken as well, or are they actually just like the crows: another creation of the Entity? What do you guys think?1 comments 61 views last activity

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I searched around and couldn't find any info about this. I'm guessing survivors wear these as part of a bonding friendship and something to remember each other by? I assume it's the same reason behind the cosmetics. Meaning that entity is responsible for crafting them and it's part of its other tactics to feed off of their emotions, but I just wanted to10 comments 142 views last activity

So DBDLeaks found 3 DLCs on steam, What i personally think. DLC 1: Leon & Mr X DLC 2: Jill & Nemesis DLC 3: Legendary skins for chris & claire The thing that supports this theory Is that both mathieu and dave said: "Players can expect a chapter packed with iconic content and novel ways to sacrifice or survive inspired by the renowned franchise" So? What do you guys think?3 comments 71 views last activity

I'm generally curious who you think could have been in the Entity's Realm longer. I know there were possibly other killers we haven't seen and they were cast in the void, but tell me who you think was there the longest. In my honest opinion, I am of the belief of "What we see is what we got" , so I believe that the Trapper is the current longest serving Killer.32 comments 1,082 views last activity

Everyone knows that there's sun in cornfield maps, but what that means? Is this only a designe? You see, The Entity need to manifest light, that's why all of the maps were happening in night. Yes, that means that in entity's realms moon have his own light. Okay, you know what that means also? Entity is now more powerful, because he can now manifest a sun.29 comments 261 views last activity

Well hey would you look at that there's actually a trailer for this hypothetical right here wow crazy: The Auric Cell: Dead By Daylight Webseries by Solomon Troupe — Kickstarter I just think it would be cool to get to see the killers interact since they don't get to in-game.7 comments 121 views last activity

The newest cosmetic we find out that Julie is in fact blonde. This is not a major lore factor but I was surprised considering I always considered to have black or brunette hair. But it definitely does make me interested to see if we will ever get a maskless Legion cosmetic kind of disappointed they missed out the opportunity with the archives9 comments 2,031 views last activity

get the Colorful Headband from the Headcase or 80's Suitcase DLC and use it instead of the set's headcosmetic. It makes her look as if she took up jogging to prepare for a fieldtrip.0 comments 101 views last activity

https://youtu.be/Y1fM81RwI9k YouTuber AZHYMOVS posted a video on 11 April about which Killers can possibly defeat the Entity itself. I wanted to know what the developers at BHVR think about his reasoning and explanations and how accurate he is in his final verdict. Everyone else is welcome to discuss though!42 comments 3,233 views last activity

We know a few of the killers hate the Entity and wish to escape. Some killers just have bad history or faced persecution and hate during their time. Some kill just so they won’t be tortured by the Entity. I think the most likely ones to turn against the Entity and rebel would be Trapper, Wraith(since his backstory he wasn’t really a bad person), perhaps Deathslinger. Also Blight since he has trie27 comments 1,461 views last activity

I'm curious because want if killers share a realm? Do they still get along? Like Clown and Nurse or Plague and Huntress. Do some let others go through or fight I can see Huntress and Hillbilly being aggressive but perhaps Wraith is willing to let other killers pass through.16 comments 491 views last activity

Never ever noticed this in the almost-5 years that i've played this, but Unrelenting is Wraith's Azarov's Axe. Is this the game telling us that Wraith is more prone to miss? 😜 Also: It shows blood trails, but the Perk is all about recovering from misses and last time i checked, missing a hit doesn't draw blood. It's a nitpick, but just saying that motion lines to indicate it being swung w12 comments 231 views last activity

A lot of people wonder what Blight running into walls is supposed to mean, why it happens etc. In short if there's a lorebase for it. And I wonder if it's this (and i haven't found any confirmation or debunk from the devs so far) blight IS based on Jekyll&Hyde, that has been stated somewhere (a dev or q&a stream i think?), so, couldn't it be that the running into walls is talbot trying2 comments 151 views last activity

I was thinking about some things that could happy in a story/lore retrospective and I came to this question: What if the Entity had a child, or already has one? How would this impact dbd, and could it be the roots for a new world of DBD?12 comments 161 views last activity

This is a question I often see alot of people ask. Why they would want to know is beyond me, but I decided to do a little research. To start, we need to understand why Plague vomits & more specifically, what is causing her to vomit. Her lore states that she was eventually infected by a disease that was ravaging the ancient Babylonian era. Now some people would say that she has leprosy due t10 comments 231 views last activity

After taking a long break from dead by daylight, I come back happy to play this game again. But that was not my surprise to play against red rank killers who play like noobs, who tunnel and camp. I do not understand how we were able to switch to high level killers who play like novices when before it was the new players who played like that. I have 2 questions, do you enjoy playing this way? and0 comments 71 views last activity

It would be wonderful if in the future they published the other three "Pariahs" as survivors. Or if one of them was a killer. The background of Elodie and Felix excited me. What do you think?2 comments 141 views last activity

So I noticed with some animations they slam the locker in anger, with some they seem to close the locker. Like it’s out of respect to the entity keeping his realm tidy. If I’m walking around looking for survivors to butcher I think id just be ripping lockers open and walking off ya know? But these killers seem insistent on respectfully not leaving the lockers open.

I'm kinda sad that after the clown, they haven't quoted a single killer (lemme show you what I mean) '' As I journeyed through the foggy veils that demarcate the realms of this place, I saw that, for the first time, I was not alone.

So this game, on a lore standing, has very low stakes, if the survivor dies, they come back and do it again and again and again. I add stakes to the game so I actually care about the character I'm playing as It's my own personal head-canon that this is the Survivor's final trial before they escape back to the real world, and if they fail they're sent back to the loop.
