Hey, this is an archive version of the official DBD forum that is set to go dark after the end of October 2026, since it was confirmed that they are not planning to make it view only, but it will be taken offline, I've created this mirror in case someone wants to go back and view something. This isn't it's final state, the data will be updated until the end of October. After the forum is fully do0 comments 0 views last activity

I think Dead by Daylight would benefit a lot from having a proper match history and more detailed post-match stats . After a match ends, most of the useful information disappears once you leave the results screen. It would be nice to have a Match History page showing your recent games so you could look back at how you performed, what builds you used, and where you could improve.

I think Dead by Daylight should add earnable player titles as another form of long-term progression. Titles could be unlocked through accomplishments such as escapes, unhooks, flashlight saves, sacrifices, Killer mastery, character milestones, events, and difficult challenges . They could appear on player profiles, in lobbies, or on the endgame screen , giving players another way to show th0 comments 9 views last activity

I used chat GPT to help design the below. I spent a few hours reworking some of the perks and stuff. Let me know your thoughts!

You've seen the news, our patch of fog disperses next month, marking the end of our little subcommunity. I've spent a bit too much time here, waiting for responses, typing out replies, or just reading what you all had to say. Now that it's ending, I honestly feel a little untethered, like a small part of my life was rubbed off a chalk board, but life goes on and on and on, doesn't it?

The smell hit me first—the choking, metallic stench of dried blood mixed with damp earth. I woke up face down in the mud, my fingernails scraping against shattered glass. The air was freezing, so cold that my breath bloomed in thick, ragged white plumes. My computer screen was gone. My room was gone. I was shivering violently, staring at a massive, rusted iron hook dangling just inches from my f1 comments 19 views last activity

I know a lot will of already been said, discussed, shared etc throughout the forums, even myself has said a few things, but just to get some things off my mind and chest. Having not too long ago watched Paulie as well and his thoughts about the forum……. To some, this is just a forum, to others it is not, we each get something from here, other wise we wouldn't keep coming back and those who deci2 comments 49 views last activity

For players who mainly use controller, which of these two do you think is easier to get more value from long-term? The Oni Very strong mobility and snowball potential, but his power seems to depend a lot on precise steering/flicks during Demon Dash and fast camera corrections. The Dark Lord More flexible kit with Hellfire, Wolf Pounce, and Bat mobility, but Hellfire needs accurate line-up5 comments 49 views last activity

I know others have mentioned this before. Since the forums are shutting down. I feel that the forums should be archived for people who want to learn how the Dead By Daylight really works. While also remembering those who passed away. And I also feel that erasing those tributes and game information would be devastating to our community.2 comments 48 views last activity

Please let us know if you have any feedback about any Survivor perk changes - the more specific, the better. Thank you!99 comments 2,980 views last activity

Back in June 2023, the Twisted Masquerade event introduced us with a bunch on new mechanics. Such as the fragile pallet. With the introduction of Rick Grimes gave us the perk Apocalyptic Ingenuity. Which implemented the fragile pallet as a base feature. Along with the June 2023 came another cool survivor mechanic, the vault blocker. I just think it would be cool if a survivor perk co5 comments 39 views last activity

Not trying to be rude or anything. And I’m glad that the artists won. But me and others are tired of Clown, Unknown, Sable, etc skins winning all the time. I mean it’s all the same repetitive stuff over again. Again don’t mean to come off rude or anything. But please can we have other characters instead of them next time.0 comments 19 views last activity

When a survivor uses a fog vial outside of chase I just want to reach through the screen and slap them. It's a giant "HERE I AM" flag.26 comments 329 views last activity

The tomes are both a time capsule of DBD's history and a hidden trove of BP, charms, badges and banners for new players to discover. Discarding years of content feels like such a waste. I understand that certain challenges have become dated in modern DBD and some might even be outright impossible as killer powers and perks have changed over the years. I would like to see these challenges revise12 comments 379 views last activity

A while ago, I stumbled across a post made by a user named Chordyceps that began in April of 2022. This user shared their vision of the Killers in a 5e format, where players face against these threats and have a chance to fight back. Recently, they have gone quiet. I would like to hold the torch of continuing the work they started. ALL CREDIT TO ORIGINAL DESCRIPTIONS TO ABILITIES AND STAT BLOCK5 comments 128 views last activity

is there any need for this nerf? It’s a useful solo q perk and also useful for new survivors learning maps. I can’t ever remember one killer complaining a survivor ran windows or FMA0 comments 13 views last activity

The title states it if you want to join send a request. You can do discussions on Steam groups like in the forums so at least that way you can still experience the same format. Thought to create one of these as same happened in another forum that closed down so at least you can stay in contact with the Steam users and have conversations of the game there. Here is a link to it. ht11 comments 226 views last activity

Greetings, friends of the Fog! For the very last time here on the Forums, I hope this discussion finds you doing well. By know I'm sure you are that the DBD Forums' days are numbered. It will remain until this year's Halloween, then it will be shut down, as per the recent announcement. And well… it would be an understatement to say that these are terrible news.

Even though the forums are closing soon, this is a post I've been meaning to make for a while. New players have no way to know about Diminishing Returns, what it is or how it's affecting their builds. Even players who do know of it may not understand if it applies in certain cases, or may accidentally put on two perks without realizing or remembering they will be affected by DR.

I have returned to the Dead by Daylight Forums after hearing the most recent news of it getting deleted forever. (By @PaulieEsther ) I joined these forums in September of 2018. Literally 8 Years ago. I have had many debates with other users. Heated or not. I have seen many bans before the alleged obsessive ban waves ridiculing these very forums. I've seen the downfall and the rise of the Gam2 comments 123 views last activity

About time to say goodbye to the forums. So I figured I'd make some posts I was putting off for the future. This is one. When I think of Ghostface, it's like this. His mark is simultaneously strong, and ridiculously weak. It's enough that once you feel stalked enough you have to respect it, and it will pop at any moment if ur not careful. But unless he's right on your back you're probably safe.1 comments 36 views last activity

Mine would have to be Dracula. Its kind of a big deal to be able to play as Dracula from Castlevania as he is only playing in 1 game out of over 25 ( not counting lords of shadow as thats an entirely different reboot Dracula) They also added the voice actor of Alucard from Hellsing, and his best version True form from circle of the moon, complete with one of the most brutal mori's in the game.

With the announcement of the closure of the forums, I'm wondering what will happen to all the posts here? Old stats articles, legacy tributes to valued members who died of cancer, etc... In my opinion this is part of our history. Will this all be cast to the wind, or is there a plan to archive everything here and just leave it all as read only?30 comments 637 views last activity

What do you guys think? I have been winning pretty much every game and playing survivor is just rought right now in 2vs8. Killers just seem to roll over not even needing really to guard gens. This wasn't case in iterations before which seemed lean more survivor sided. Just starting to feel too easy on killer. I have won even matches where one of us AFK for couple minutes or with bots.

Hello everybody, As you’re all aware, we are currently in our 10th year of operating Dead by Daylight as a live game. While the dev team is looking at numerous ways to update, improve, and modernize the game to carry us through the next 10 years, we are doing this on the community side of things as well.

Hey, all. It's been a minute since I've been on these forums. Just got back on today and saw the post about it closing. Don't really know what to say about that. Anyway, for years I've been unofficially petitioning BHVR to get an official The Mummy (1999) chapter. And now that Brendan Fraser is officially doing another The Mummy installment (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22408968/?_ssoLoop=1), it18 comments 123 views last activity

Since full Chapters with both Killers and Survivors are the absolute pinnacle of Dead by Daylight’s lore and gameplay, I wanted to share my little wishlist for future licensed Chapters. I designed these concepts to expand the Fog with highly requested characters while keeping their mechanics perfectly manageable for the game’s engine! 1.

I feel keeping this as short as I can would be best so I'll try I aim to suggest changes that hopefully can be easy to implement, like number changes, that can make it to live build in time. Although idk how game development works so forgive me.

So like, ever since the judgement came out, we gonna end up getting a backrooms killer using the exile ability that just sends us to the backrooms? Because I know that they love to reuse powers and that legit makes the most logical sence. Or maybe there's some generates that are in the backrooms that we and or the killer have to enter in to go do them? Like going in springtraps doors but BOT0 comments 14 views last activity

What I mean by this, based on the PTB, is that perks like these used toactivate regardless of how a Survivor is injured (m2 or m1), however, while I LOVE that m1s are getting attention, m2s are being pushed into the direction that m1 killers were at for a LONG time and this would just cause the same issues but for m2 killers instead, or, introduce M2 alternatives that are m1 focused, like, a new2 comments 58 views last activity

BHVR can you guy's do something with the new MMR system it's not working… I get good/sweaty players one game then the next game… I get people with level one perks and are brand new to the game…. This is so unfair for new players to be placed with a Killer with 9 P100s and over 10+k hours…….1 comments 60 views last activity

So why do I have to deal with a killer that's seeing my aura at all times, can attack from anywhere on the map, has been buffed to make aiming even easier and on top of that, denies the use of a lot of perks cause of his non hook power???

I have played DBD for a very long time (about 5 years or more) after playing the game for the last month straight I can say the game is not fun at all as a survivor. What's the point of getting more survivors if there's a killer that can counter your perks but it's not vice versa. This whole game is pay to win now; I remember when it used to be about skill not money. Like what do you mean there's12 comments 241 views last activity

My ideas for Reworking Trapper comes down to several new additions to his current power: Disabling Tools, Hunting Ground , and a New Ailment: Hobbled Bear Trap The Trapper transforms the Trial into a deadly hunting ground by placing Bear Traps for survivors to step into.

We were told to wait up to 2 weeks for MMR to adjust itself back to normal… It has been 1 month and i'm still getting matched with survivors with less than 100 hours. I can't play this game in this state. I went through the trenches, forcing myself to play, even in SwF, to get my MMR back to normal so I can start getting players who actually know what they're doing… to no avail.

Listen up, community, and hopefully, someone at BHVR is actually reading this.

Upvote this post to tell BHVR directly that the community does NOT want to lose these incredible discussion forums, for the following reasons: 1. A lack of equivalent platforms offering the same services or level of usage There simply isn't another platform that provides the same combination of accessibility, organization, community activity, and long-form discussion that these forums curre8 comments 403 views last activity
