  • At the start of the Trial, 4 random hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks: The Auras of Scourge Hooks are revealed to you in white . Each time a Survivor is hooked on a Scourge Hook, the following effects are applied: The Generator with the most progression will instantly explode, regressing it by 9%/12%/15% , unless a Survivor is on that Generator. Survivors currently repairing that Gene

  • The terrified archive challenge in tome 2 will not progress. I have to make survivors scream 10 times. I have played many matches using and not using the doctor to make survivors scream, as well as try perks like dragon's grip and make your choice, and none of them will progress the archive challenge.

  • "Bug fix" or not. Having blast mine go away after it runs out severely hurts the perk. Especially considering how much gen progress you need to even activate it. Now personally I think it should both the same 33% and 80 seconds that wiretap is. But if some deem that too strong then 50% of a gen would be an adequate buff and give it the 80 second duration. Wiretap I personally think is fine for

  • Is there any reason we cannot see other players pings in the lobby? I thought this was something that was getting added.

  • Ive had several matches in a row in which I get tunneled out, which is not that huge of a deal, but I was wondering if Off The Record and Renewal would be worth running just so I can waste as much time as possible before going down and back onto the same hook over and over. I feel as if Off The Record is fine but I might not get that much value from Renewal since it requires me to heal someone t

  • i try to just have fun with this game but ######### man I work, have abunch of ######### to deal with and can only play at “off times” of the day which means atleast 5min + lobby waits and then i get absolutely ridiculously good survivors with stacked meta perks that take a fat ######### on me . I’m kinda done til bots come in cause this isn’t fun for a noob like me tbh if i could never play agai

  • Really hope there is more to it. Tough to escape even if you are getting a lot of points if your teammates are Self-Caring in the corner.

  • A few times today, I've seen a new icon in games. It's a diamond shape with a red arrow that appears above the player icons. It can be seen in the image below, does anyone know what it is?

  • Something really needs to be done with solo queue, i rarely play survivor without my swf buddies but I'm not fussed about playing killer today. I'm certainly not the best player, but I'm by no means a bad one. Ive been playing all morning must've cleared about 10 games and i haven't survived a single one. I'm seeing constant bbq and chilli killers. My "teammates" are doing very little to help me.

  • Title. That nerf was unnecessary in the worst possible way. You want encourage less toxic behavior? How about fixing the only two perks that actively rewarded fair gameplay. You've increased the grind, destroyed solo q, and failed to offer BP incentives for killer. You can keep DH, but BBQ and WGLF were hurting nobody. Bring them back ASAP.

  • So there should have been this thing called dedicated servers and hit validation. This still gets thrown out of the window by the current server. When the killer gets the lag symbol it doesn't matter where you are since the hit will go through anyway. How is this acceptable devs? Why is the player with the WORSE connection FAVORED by the servers? This makes no sense at all. Please fix how hit

  • Continuing a series on the least used perks, next up is Dredge's perk Septic Touch (0% usage over the last two weeks, 0.19% the prior two weeks, on the aggregate site I follow.) Septic Touch - Whenever a Survivor performs the healing action within your Terror Radius, that Survivor suffers from Blindness and Exhausted. These effects linger for 6/8/10 seconds after a healing action is interrupte

  • Wesker’s infection isn’t really a problem, just take 20 extra seconds to find a can and spray yourself, and feature I would add is to make it to where if your fully infected you have to use 2 sprays to disinfect fully. Something I don’t really know if they should do, is make first aid sprays able to heal you. Edit: in no way am I saying Wesker is weak, he is quite powerful

  • They are too much! OK! I've said it! It is not acceptable that every day I play I need to take half of an hour to spend them and it is not acceptable that every match everyone is carrying the best stuff! The best stuff should be used once in a while, not every game! I KNOW I KNOW! Noone liked grinding, me neither. The grinding reduction was necessary. And i agree! The issue was the perks and

  • Okay, some changes were made that may have been needed like with Dead Hard with the previous patch. But, in a span of few weeks you have nerfed not only Dead Hard but Iron Will, Decisive Strike more, Spine Chill, and now Blast Mine with the latest patch today. This game is really turning into garbage. This Blast Mine nerf is unneeded in my opinion. The killers don’t even need to hit the gen every

  • With this new patch game became ridiculously flooded with cheaters, every 3 game i got killer with WH, 5+ perks, every 3-5 games surv who onetap gens, flying around, and broke game in many ways. Come on! Pls pay attention on this, because ingame report doesnt work. Why we should pay for your addons if we can buy cheat which opens to you all addons you have and gives much more advantage...Check yo

  • Hello everyone, we all know that Hexes are in a very bad spot right now. A lot of achievments depend on hexes being not that rare, but many killers dont see the value of Hexes these days, with survivors knowing all/most of the spots from the top of their head and the "high risk, high reward" tagline is borderline misleading advertisement. I offered quite some solutions to the problem, but this

  • It states: Use Dead Hard to avoid a basic attack by a nearby killer one time. Using the current Dead Hard correctly does not complete this challenge. So do I have to use Dead Hard incorrectly and have the killer miss anyway. Used this to absorb a hit twice and didn't get the challenge completed. Obviously perk is different now (thank god) but curious if this is an oversight. A few of the earlier

  • I don't know why they had to change Hillbilly he was good the way he was sure they gave him the overheat part so people have to also use their main weapon but still I feel like Hillbilly should at least have his old add-ons he isn't Twin levels of bad add-ons but he's at the level where most are bad. Like ones that decrease charge time but you have to be stunned or blinded or just other ones tha

  • Got +50% killer incentives for more than an hour now (EU), I got a few games in and plenty of bp. Finally got some more homogenous lobbies as well, when earlier I was getting P19 dudes among tier-1-perks beginners on a killer I just started playing this week haha. Friday nights might be the killer incentives shining time :D

  • Self care is definitely the perk I get angry about when I see it on my teammates. It's slow as a snail and is a massive waste of time. My soulution is to make it the equivalent of a personal brown medkit, this is very simple and would still be semi reliable.

  • So how did BHVR translate previous purchases on the shrine? I purchased a lot of perks to unlock availability to all survivors or killers. Are those still available? Or did those purchases get converted into something else?

  • Title. It's been changed, not sure when. Purple restraint has been removed entirely. Used to say " I CAN SEE THEIR DISGUSTING ILLNESSES" Purple order has also been changed. Yes to say "The stimulus must be kept active at a convulsive level " I dunno if people got upset at the crazy doctor man being mean in his notes or what, but I really liked this flavor text. It illustrates his cruelty and m

  • I'd like to know the BP incentive standard. I know that the incentive criteria vary from region to region and from player to player. Incentives are provided for roles with insufficient players. By the way, mmr is slightly different for each killer, so on what basis is the incentive provided? Is the average mmr of survivors and all killers the standard?

  • You see the Auras of dropped Pallets Press and hold the Active Ability button for 4 seconds while standing beside a dropped Pallet to reset it to its upright position. Any Means Necessary has a cool-down of 60 seconds. After using the ability, you unlock its second option available once per game. Once per game, press and hold the active ability button on a destroyed palette to rebuild it.

  • Just pulled off one of those one-in-a-million locker saves on pure dumb luck, and it got me thinking. It'd be nice if once you were in a locker for 3 seconds and Head On activated, the aura of the locker you're in was displayed to all other survivors so that it's easier for survivors to coordinate plays. It's not really sandbaggable either, because someone bringing the killer to you is generally

  • Follow up to this: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/345921/why-do-i-have-surge-level-2-and-demos-other-2-perks-at-level-1-on-every-killer#latest So I think at some point before buying Demo I must've bought Surge in the shrine, therefore I essentially had the teachable twice which compounded into a tier 2 of the perk on everyone which is a pretty weird sounding interaction and rea

  • dbd2022.jpg Welcome to DBD 2022, where the developers create patches and perks and game mechanics that discourage tunneling, but creating the exact opposite where you are literally forced to tunnel otherwise the game would last 4 minutes. Obviously I put an example screen, where I use Wesker without slowdown perks and yes I still did 4k because two Cloudettes played quite

  • So started gunslinger a little while ago, the gearhead perk sounded good. But it almost never benefits me because the survivors aura is the same colour as the gen, it's often masked by it. I reckon it should also give a loud noise notification too. Otherwise it's too hard to notice and doesn't benefit the killer at all.

  • 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 ti

  • Ok after the game I just played in which only one person had boil over she went down in a deadzone after I knew it was there and where the closest hook was. She was the second down on the game map. Now I downed 5 people and got 1 hook. Not flashlight saves and not boil over hiding hook auras, there was 3 deadzones in the map where all the hooks were upstairs and the stairs up were far enough

  • Iv just spent an hour spending bloodpoints... like come on... Anyone else feel they should remove the need to hold nodes or even add in an automatic feature so it will do it for you at a faster speed? (Maybe about cheaper as you dont get to pick items) I love everything is cheaper, the BP cap increases etc. But damn does it takes ages if you have BP saved up, would be a good quality of life ch

  • My nurse is Prestige 9, level 50. I haven't spent BP on her since the prestige rework, or really paid much attention to her. My lvl50 bloodweb contains perks that I am 100% certain that I had and used in the past - in particular, Spies from the Shadows was a perk I used to get to Red 1 for the first time in the old rank system. Double checking, these perks are 100% missing from the killer now.

  • I've only used the perk once but went back to my usual build, but I feel like I'm still getting forced to camp because my pressure still lacks even with my recent build changes. I went against it once as survivor and immediately realized that I would die faster, making my friends get to me asap. Think it's worth running for pressure?

  • Title. Peak hours gets watered down far too much, you'll have a good survivor match with a good killer than the other survivors are just a toss up. Its getting to the point I stop playing at a certain time so I can have enjoyable matches and this really shouldn't be needed.... On days off I'd love to play all day but I just cant, watching my team go from decent and actually playing to just wal

  • So I faced a Hillbilly who got this massive speed boost/movement boost I get he's a speed based add-on but he was able to turn corners extremely sharply and just seemed way to quick then I remember. So I looked and those mark add-ons I do not remember ever increasing movement speed I remember it made you have better turning but not movement speed.

So I thought "hey let's just delete this one and make it new" but that's not possible. Then I made another e-mail and the account got banned bc "alternate accounts aren't allowed" I just want to change my bloody name ffs, why is this so difficult? Can a mod just del

  • In case you didn’t know, altruistic mending comes with a 25% speed penalty relative to self-mending (12 seconds base for self, and 8 seconds for a survivor to mend another survivor). I was wondering why you think this is, as altruistic healing has no such penalty. I’m genuinely just curious! Also, I feel it is against the spirit of the add-ons belonging to Legion and Deathslinger that increase m

  • Before the match, there was a 100% bp bonus and I took the cake Actually, I did not understand how it works, before that I played for Wesker (i.e. for the killers), maybe this is the case, but sometimes the cake does not give blood points, although this is not the first match for the survivors today.

  • If I play a match with a non-anonymous bad/toxic/cheating player, I can currently dodge any match lobby if I remember or write down their name. If they are using anonymous mode I have to instead dodge all lobbies with the same anonymous character, and even then they can still swap characters or turn off anonymous mode and you would be none the wiser. Too many people are using Anonymous Mode to a
