A Guide to the Gameplay of The Black Banquet
You’re invited to The Black Banquet, a new event where – over a two course meal – you'll gain delectable effects that’ll help you complete your objectives in the Trial.
The Main Course begins promptly at the start of the Trial. One of three meals is randomly chosen for the Menu of the Day, defining that Trial’s effects and kicking things off with a Global Effect for everyone.
During this course, Survivors can collect Morsels from Dining Carts.
Eat these for a small, personal effect, or work together to fill a Banquet Table with 4 Morsels, and you’ll trigger a stronger Banquet Payoff, affecting all Survivors. It pays to lay out a feast!
On the Killer side, use poison to make easier prey of Survivors, imposing a stamina gauge to their sprinting and making them cough.
Poison can be thrown at Survivors as a small AoE, or applied to objects like pallets, gens, and even the Banquet’s own portals.
It can even be applied to Dining Carts, secretly tainting their Morsels for a time and preventing them from filling Banquet Tables.
Once 4 gens have been completed or a single Survivor remains, it’s time for the Dessert Course.
During this course, the Global Effect deactivates, Morsels can’t be collected, and Killers can’t use poison. Instead, both roles can interact with Dining Carts or Banquet Tables for a random buff, like Elusive for Survivor or Undetectable for Killer.

After three years of killer sided masquarade we will have three year of survivor-sided banquet. Cool.
I'm more dissapointed from actual skins, half of them being pay to have and lack of overall rewards.
The amount of Survivor favoritism is ridiculous! Invincibility?! Unbreakable pallets!?
We HAVE to let BHVR know how disappointed we are and make them treat Killers the same way they treat Survivors!
exactly
they have been giving them WAY TO MUCH STUFF compared to killers so i would have thought that they will at least get some compesation but NOPE.
Thats the main reason I don't play the event tbh
Poison is frustrating as survivors and the insta heal, unbreakable pallet/portails are also very frustrating.
I'm so glad the base game is in another queue
Well all you get as survivor is killers which work well with poison and can bypass like two effects from cakes which is logical when killers have to deal with the amoth of bs that survivors have and what comes from that?
Event that isnt fun both as survivor or killer, deffinitely worst one we ever had feels like 2016 version of DBD just slap it on steam and let them cook (infinites and another dozens of bs things in that mess) only thing that 2016 busted version of DBD had better was atmosphere which this event doesnt.
Hi BHVR.
Never do this again.
Thank you.
Friendly reminder to unpin. Anniversary is over.
