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. The Ultimate "The Evil Within" Chapter - The Killer:

Since I see no point in switching to Discord or Reddit for the ideas and concepts I have in mind (where they would likely just get lost amidst nonsense spam without being seen) I’ve decided to post everything currently on my mind here before the forum closes… I always think about how we can introduce completely unique gameplay mechanics without breaking the game's famous "spaghetti code." Tod

With bhvr releasing more standalone Killer chapters lately, I wanted to share my personal wishlist for future standalone Chapters that don't need a Survivor. All of these characters have massive horror potential, frequently appear in official surveys, and would bring incredible hype to the Fog. A nd as a fan of both metal music and horror design, I noticed that since Pinhead is no longer in th

Since I see no point in switching to Discord or Reddit for the ideas and concepts I have in mind (where they would likely just get lost amidst nonsense spam without being seen) I’ve decided to post everything currently on my mind here before the forum closes. I’m in favor of consoles getting in-game chat so console players can communicate with us; keep the standard text chat for the lobby, but

I was thinking about possible collabs for dbd and one struck my mind, Until Dawn. I feel like it could work really well with dbd, for example a new killer could be the wendigo and for suvivors Sam and Mike with the other characters being legendary skins for them. Also the mines or the lodge could work well as a map, any thoughts?

I am absolutely in love with the change to whispers. For a long time now, I've wanted a base mechanic of some kind to allow killers with low mobility, such as Ghostface, to be able to get haste to move around the map faster to shorten the gap between lower tier killers and higher tier ones such as Blight. The fact we are getting a perk to allow this to happen in any capacity is a good start. Howe

I’ve played Dead by Daylight for several years on both Killer and Survivor. I’m not a top-level competitive player, but I understand the fundamentals of both sides and have enough experience to notice when a killer feels limited by their kit rather than by player mistakes. This isn’t meant as a general “buff Killer” or “gens are too fast” post. My concern is that some killers, particularly old

Please do NOT go through with this Windows of Opportunity nerf. I genuinely don’t understand why this perk needs to lose pallet auras in the first place. Windows is especially important for newer players. DBD has so many maps and tiles at this point and new players obviously aren’t going to know where every pallet and window is. Windows helps them learn maps and understand where they can actua

Hello Behaviour Interactive and the Dead by Daylight community! I would like to suggest a potential future Dead by Daylight chapter based on the 2026 movie Obsession, with Nikki as the Killer. I think Nikki could fit the Entity's Realm because her story is connected to obsession, supernatural influence, and the Wish Wand. 🔪 THE KILLER — NIKKI Killer Name: Nikki Killer Title: The Obsessed We

I think DBD really needs a proper solo sandbox/practice mode. It doesn't have to be complicated — just let us enter a custom game alone, choose the map, freeze gens and have unlimited killer powers. For example, practicing Wesker techs is annoying because you either need a friend to sit in a custom game with you or use bots while the gens get done in like 2 minutes. Custom games already have

Does anyone know when The Pale Rose map will be available to play again? There’s an achievement/trophy called “All Aboard” that requires you to repair the generator on the upper deck of the Steamboat on The Pale Rose and successfully escape the trial in a public match. Since the map is currently unavailable, it’s impossible to unlock this achievement. Do anyone know when the map is expected to

Inside of 2v8 their is a massive issue which I think could create a new class for our 2v8 killers. In 2v8 their is multiple dull totems around the map, but their really is no point in cleansing them other than a couple blood points. We'll I'd like to introduce a new class Curser which is a class that interacts with the massive amount of Dull totems throughout the trial. It would be a combination

Hello BHVR! Since Lara Croft was added to Dead by Daylight, I've been thinking about what a Tomb Raider map could look like in the Fog. One location that I think would fit DBD extremely well is the Soviet Installation from Rise of the Tomb Raider. I think this location would be an especially strong choice for a potential Tomb Raider map because its atmosphere already feels surprisingly co

Hey everyone! Since Stranger Things Chapter 2 released earlier this year, I’ve been wondering if we can expect more Stranger Things content in the future, especially cosmetics or Legendary outfits. There are still so many characters and looks from the show that haven’t made it into Dead by Daylight yet. I’d also absolutely love to see some cosmetics based on the later seasons, especially new

So, as the title says, I was banned without using cheats. I don't know what happened, but that new anti-cheat system they introduced for te,sting banned my account.I hadn't played on the account for months, so this ban makes no sense. Please BHVR, give me back my account.

after all the visuals for the trailers and lore we have from the chorus of sin chapter i feel like it would be really nice to have a map set on terra primus as the realm and the map would be set in the city that we see in the trailer or near where the council of terra primus died from the judgement

Hears my take on a The Lost Boys DLC. I personally love it and there's way more to my ideas but here is the simplified version. Enjoy! Killer and cosmetic: David as the main, then Dwayne as a legendary cosmetic, a second dlc can come out and be Marko and Paul as legendary skins. The rare or uncommon skins can be from the musical or Max. Killer name: The Lost Boy Power: NightTime Hunt Nig

Hello, I recently noticed that on BHVR's 'Games Portfolio' you are claiming that you Develop and publish games that everyone loves and you list the games 'Darkest Dungeon' and '7 Days To Die'. Darkest Dungeon was developed by Red Hook Studios.. You didnt make that game you bought the studio in 2024. 7 Days to die was developed by The Fun Pimp Studio, which you bought this year in 2026. you d

I really hope Behaviour considers making a proper Nintendo Switch 2 version or at least a dedicated graphics and performance upgrade for Dead by Daylight. The current Nintendo Switch version feels extremely outdated visually, especially now that the Nintendo Switch 2 is available. The Switch 2 is significantly more powerful, but Dead by Daylight still looks and performs like a last-generation ve

Ive been having these thoughts for awhile and ive been wanting to share them First off all I think the chapter should get a map of the backrooms combining the regular yellow walls with the pool rooms and pipe rooms. And the exit gates could be a mixture of all of the rooms together and a bunch of objects sticking outside of the gate. I feel like Clark or Mary should be a survivor if Clark is a

Bonjours est-ce que la map du marais en particulier celle du pale rose est désactivée ou retirer définitivement si oui sera t'elle réactivé et quand merci d'avance

Dead by Daylight: Evolution — Make Prestige Matter This is kind of long, but hear me out. I’ve been working on this idea for months. I love Dead by Daylight, but I keep thinking about one thing: what if Prestige actually changed what your character could do in normal matchmaking? Right now, Prestige shows how much time and Bloodpoints you’ve invested into a character. But imagine if ever

Hi, everyone! So, hear me out we have three Bill and Ted movies and a series…Why not a Dead By Daylight DLC lol. So I just started playing Dead by Daylight like 1-2 months ago (don't judge me if I phrase stuff weird since I have no game knowledge lol). Great game love it. But could you imagine characters like Bill and Ted in it? WELLL I made a concept idea, and I'd love to share it. I hope everyo

i think it will be a great idea to add a ranked mode to the game so players can actually grinde this game with passion . the community has been asking for this for so long please bhvr

Exactly what the title says, what are some licenses that you think are likely to happen?

I hold the opinion that filler pallets SUCK and aren't really fun for either side, nor do they show much skill expression. I don't like dropping pallets on some maps (ex. fallen refuge) just for the loop to become more unsafe..? So what are the problems with filler pallets? The killer does not have to mind game 70% of filler pallets as most of them are incredibly unsafe. Survivors can greed th

So in DBD winning is usually defined by as killers killing all survivors and survivors escaping but the problem is lore wise and bp wise is that survivors and killers are still stuck in the entity realm and just straight out escaping and killing gives very little blood points. When I play killer even if I get 0 kills but do a ton of other objectives I get around 75k-150k BP while death hooking

Ever since Springtrap and Jason has joined the fog in Dead by Daylight, a lot of people have been wanting to see the Slenderman join the fog in the ever growing roster of killers and with BHVR rejecting a Marble Hornets collab for the time being, it seems like Slenderman has a likely chance of getting added and if it does happen, it should be Slenderman from Slender the Arrival and it could come

Pomysł na rozdział: My Bloody Valentine ⛏️ Zabójca: The Miner — Harry Warden, uzbrojony w swoją charakterystyczną kilof. Ocalały: Tom Hanniger. Uważam, że My Bloody Valentine byłoby świetnym crossoverem horrorowym. Harry Warden mógłby mieć mapę inspirowaną kopalnią — opuszczone tunele, stare szyby kopalniane i mroczny klimat Walentynek. Jego charakterystyczną bronią byłby oczywiście kilof, a j

DEAD BY DAYLIGHT WAR OF THE WORLDS “There is nowhere to hide.” A new chapter inspired by War of the Worlds (2005), directed by Steven Spielberg. The Fog opens over an apparently abandoned city. The streets are covered with destroyed vehicles. The lights go out one after another. In the distance, an impossible sound can be heard: The horn of a Tripod. The Entity has foun

Special stealth and Ambient Jumpscare events like Lights Out are amazing concepts, but they could get being completely ruined by players exploiting third-party brightness filters (Nvidia/Reshade) or maxing out the in-game gamma settings to gain an unfair advantage. Instead of experiencing pure horror and darkness, honest players are getting sniped across the map by Killers or looped flawlessly

I want developers to see this and also the community. I would like constructive criticism from the community and the developers I think this would help the longevity of the game and make it more positive and fun for people to get into! . IDEA 1. So for quick context the host /creator of the lobby can do this I was thinking about what if we could have modifiers that have already came out and s

title for reference i dont mean the gamemode, i mean the actual supersized version of maps just being selectable in 1v4 customs (alongside the now retired 2nd variation of maps which is still in custom pool) The large map variations would be great for us people who like to 1v1 in customs, it gives us a bigger board to play around with- and besides, it would only be custom- its not like you coul

Please add Balanced Landing spots on Trickster's Delusion / Fallen Refuge those maps already heavily killer sided and playing on them without exhaustion perk feels even more frustrating. And fix fps bug where some BL spots are fps dependant

Mandatory bot matches. Have them win a certain number of matches whilst giving them small challenges they have to complete before they enter the fog proper. It would save breaking up the player base into actual beginner lobbies whilst also providing them with a more in-depth understanding of how actual matches work. It would also put some Smurfs off of jumping into the game with a new account so

As the name suggests Hatch shouldn't spawn if all the gens get done instead of just relying on 1 survivor being in the trial for it to spawn. It would make it so Survivors have to leave through the doors and give the Killer less things to patrol in endgame when gens get done.

Hatch should have the chance of either spawning in Main or Shack. If the map doesn't have a main or shack, have it spawn in a main area of a map such as the lobby or safe rooms of RPD.

Map Concept 1: The Shattered Square Filter Revert Since the Dungeons & Dragons map (Forgotten Ruins) already covers the clear, underground fantasy aesthetic, please bring back the iconic, ominous red color filter for the original Shattered Square (The Knight’s map). This simple code toggle would give the classic map its unique, burning-village identity back without requiring any layout c

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a couple of ideas I had for fixing the BP economy and making the auto-bloodweb less annoying to use. First, I think it would be cool if the Shrine of Secrets did more than just sell perks. What if every Tuesday it also randomly picked one Killer and one Survivor, and for that week, their entire bloodweb got a flat 15% discount? It would make leveling up specific ch

Here's number 12 of my Comeback shenanigans! I picked out a Chapter where the Killer hasn't been touched since Mikaela came out! Yep! It's true! Plague hasn't been looked at in nearly five years! Even Hag has gotten some love! Anyway, let's get to it! Temple of Purgation If you read and remembered my Comeback for Lullaby For The Dark, then you'd already

Hello everyone, So, in my last post, I talked about the problem with this killer: he is useless now. Now I'd like to share my suggestions for buffing Chucky. First, I think he should get 4.6 m/s speed. I don't see any reason not to. He can't control the map when he's 4.4. Second, rework the add-ons. The majority of his add-ons were made for his old ability. That ability was deleted, but the ad

Let me start off by saying I don't expect my question(s) to be answered as I was at work and assumed it was a all day thing. However , after reading a lot of the questions that were asked, a lot of them were mainly about events and Grimoire There were a very few good questions imo like about solo que and how we're getting a chat wheel for communications- W, they're looking into pallet density an

Everywhere I see it's 5 million, but I was definitely earning more than 5 million from my games.

I have played Dead by Daylight for almost 1,000 hours. I started playing around the Blood Moon event in 2025. The majority of my playtime has been spent playing Killer (around 65%), with the remaining time being Survivor. Throughout my time playing, I have taken multiple breaks from the game because I have found the Killer experience increasingly frustrating. My main concern is not that Killer

Hey everyone! I’m a huge fan of Fable 3 and always thought Nightcrawler (The Crawler) would make a good psychological horror Killer in Dead by Daylight to help bring back the horror aspect. I designed this full concept kit for a 'Fate of Albion' Chapter, featuring a dual-model Survivor (The Hero of Brightwall) and a Bowerstone Market map. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the perk balance and the

Upon rewatching this movie, I reeeeally want a survivor pack of Tucker and Dale. I threw together some perks for each of them just a moment ago as well... Maybe they're great? Maybe they're horrible? I don't know. I just want these two as survivors. Tucker perks: "We Came Here To Work!" -Repair speed increased 1% when repairing alone. After completing at least 50% of a generator while repairin

How exactly are we supposed to do the trophy when we never get the map. I used like 10 billion offerings and got the map once and got chased the entire game so I couldn't get any gens done. Can we PLEASE get a showcase or higher odds for map offerings actually sending us to that realm/map cause ######### are these map based trophys when you legit can't get to that map…

Imagine this if there was a crossover with dc where your in arkham asylum with the joker and batman and other survivors and you hear the chime on the map create a horror tension and other survivors could be robi Jim Gordon nightwing I know it more sci-fi but Imagine doctor who where the master is the villan and when he's the killer on the map there weeping angels that can freeze you for 10 s
