BHVR should put in an apply settings button to confirm any changes you make you want to make. Both to make sure your changes are going through but also to make sure you don't accidently change any settings when backing out of the settings menu.

I like Wesker but people just loop around a corner then hop a window and he becomes useless at that point, I guess what you're trying to say is that I should stick to the hip of my partner in game while playing wesker? I find this an issue in 1v4 also coupled with the massive amount of first aid sprays available to survivors rendering his ability near useless for what it's meant to be which is infect them to get a down if healthy but I think I've only had that happen once out of the months I've used him sadly.

If you're struggling in chase where even a window is killing your chase as Wesker then yeah, stick with your teammate. If you are with your teammate you can both take a side of the window, makes that window useless. Ending chases and getting survivors in cages takes other survivors get off gens.

Also if you see tonics use them. If a Killer uses a tonic it removes it from the game for the survivors while giving the killer a speed boost.

A full health grab from infection isn't supposed to be common because it is a reward from the survivor choosing poorly. The infection is meant to get survivors not in chase off gens to spend time going to and searching chests then use the spray which also let's the killer know where they are with killer instinct - it's basically a minor gen slowdown with location info, both nice bonuses for an already strong killer. The ability to down them while healthy is because it needs something to make the survivor feel it's necessary to spend the time searching chests and then giving up their location while not in chase. In chase it also helps you out because if you are having issues catching the survivor they are going to get hit with hindered once the circle is full.

They weren't just throwing the match, I could hear deathslinger shooting off his gun constantly, they'd get a hit but then we'd heal near instantly, ghost face was marking people but we just kept running loops around him using pallets and sprint burst, 6 gens done, they got 2 hooks one for two different survivors on 7 gens, it was wild. I'm starting to get different games now as killers but I'd run Wesker and people would just run loops around me despite him having great mobility.
I run Nemesis and my zombies do nothing half the time they just stand there while survivors run literally right beside them then they slowly move a step and stop again. When I'm up against Nemesis I get speed hack Nemesis who is visibly faster than when I use him plus his zombies spawn like 30 on the map and move at 150% speed it honestly makes no sense. Like seriously I'll pallet kill one and two spawn in right beside it immediately that doesn't happen when I play him.
At least now I'm getting killer games where we can actually kill people albeit I bought Dracula to achieve this. It certainly wasn't happening when I was Ghost face or Wesker cause people can easily outrun me. I had a little luck with Chucky at first but as the games went on I started getting paired up with people who just seemed to constantly run faster than me. Idk man this game is very inconsistent.

That sounds more like the issue was the killer players and not a game mode issue. They just weren't playing well at all, either as the killer they chose or as a team. If the killers were struggling to end chases that badly on their own they should've started working together. You can see your teammates aura at all times, you go to them to cut off loops and double team the survivors.

Wesker is very strong in 2v8 for ending chases, there's a reason he is one of the killers seen in most matches since he was added. There's been a couple Weskers I've looped but I don't think I've seen any struggle to get a down. Sometimes killers just don't click with a player, even if they are a strong killer. You go with the killer who has a power that you can work with. You didn't click with Ghostface or Wesker in 2v8 but you do with Dracula.

Nemesis zombies are annoying. When I play Trapper the zombies are hitting survivors out of my traps so I lose a down and the zombies get in my way constantly in chase. Wasn't an issue when there were 2 but with 4 I just find them obnoxious.

Exactly this. Bleedout-slugging is not common at all. Meanwhile, the rest of us managed to get the gens done and the doors open. Yet they ended up getting 5 of us, because we tried to help 😅

Altruism, the real killer in DBD. 😂

in I have to say... Comment by bm33 February 21, 2026

The only time I've had any issue with slugging in this iteration of 2v8 is when I was first down, the killers threw the match by standing over me and instantly downing me anytime I got picked up or used my ability for the basekit Unbreakable. By the time I bled out the team had the gens done and were working on exit gates. That was such an extreme situation and was done by 2 TTV killers, definitely not the normal slugging you come across.

Most matches the slugging is very short term because you can pick yourself up with your ability as many times as needed as long as it isn't on cool down. The only time I see multiple slugs is when Oni is running around using his power, but if the other killer isn't following behind to pick up the survivors or they didn't go down close together he loses quite a few of them thanks to the basekit antislug. Usually it's a single slug in pallet or with a flashlight teammate nearby so the killer is just trying to chase away the teammate to have a safe pick up.

in I have to say... Comment by bm33 February 21, 2026

The only 2v8 matches I've seen killers have 0 hooks with 2 gens left have been one killer is AFK so other killer doesn't even try and one match the killers stood over a slug refusing to chase anyone else so the other survivors just focused on gens to finish them before slug bleeds out.

My worst match as killer in this mode (without an AFK teammate) we had 1 kill but had alot of hooks throughout the match, the survivors just were the better team. Majority of my matches the killers have atleast a 3k and a 7/8k is way more common than a 7/8e - and even with the 7/8 escape most survivors have been hooked atleast once if not twice.

If the killers in your match were actually trying I'd like to see a video because I find it hard to believe there were 0 hooks without the killers just throwing the match.

Add more survivor classes. Boon class, chem trap class, head on class, illusion class.

Remove a zombie from Nemesis.

Let Trapper start with all his traps. Let teammates reset his traps.

Do something about survivors being able to block other survivors from performing a cage rescue forcing caged survivor into second state or death. Maybe force cages to move if a survivor is in front not uncaging for a certain amount of time.

in What would you love to see in the next 2v8 Comment by bm33 February 18, 2026

Guide is my go to. I've been a Blastmine fan since the perk came to the game and I tend to be a gen jockey so Guide is perfect for me. I don't know what it was about the other day but I guess the killers liked being ontop of eachother even when it came to gen kicks because I had a few times where the Blastmine blinded both killers, one time both killers and a zombie. 😂

If Guide is taken I go for Medic. If I can't Blastmine the killers I'll go rescue and heal my teammates.

First few iterations I mostly ran Escapist, not because I'm good in chase (I'm terrible) but because it's cooldown was the shortest and the killers seemed to like slugging more often. Shorter cooldown meant I could pick myself up more often.

in Favorite survivor class in 2v8 Comment by bm33 February 15, 2026

Playing Trapper I feel like Fearmonger is the most useful for me. When I lose that 5% haste I know someone is watching me nearby placing traps. The bonus speed when not being looked at is nice too, especially for getting to my traps if a survivor steps in then and it's a little extra boost to the haste I already have when setting traps at the start.

If the other killer has Fearmonger equipped I go with Brute or Shadow depending on my mood. Enforcer I don't mind, just compared to the other 3 it doesn't feel as useful on Trapper.

Completely not the point. The fact that you can do it in normal queue is for those that truly hate 2v8 and don't want to play it. The quests should still all be able to be completed entirely in 2v8.

This is why I pointed it out. If a side of a quest can't be completed in 2v8 it shouldn't be part of a 2v8 quest. Hopefully they change it for the killer players to something like "down # survivors," then it can be done in both 2v8 and 1v4. Hopefully they also don't have 2v8 quests in part 3 that cannot be done in 2v8.

in 2v8 Quests part 2 Comment by bm33 February 15, 2026

I have nearly a 70% team kill rate as solo queue Trapper in 2v8, I'm having a good time as killer. Most matches have 3-5k, have had only a couple 7/8e but more 7/8k that make up for it. Teammates this go around are doing well herding survivors into my traps. My only issue is when I get matched with a Nemesis because zombies are knocking survivors out of my traps early instead of downing them and they keep getting in my way during chases.

As killer I'm not feeling overwhelmed/frustrated or like I need more ways to add pressure in my matches because most of my matches the killer team is winning. Maybe it's because I've played alot of survivor so have an idea of their pathing getting around the map I can use my power more efficiently or cut them off in chase. Pallets aren't really a problem when you can put a trap on the other side, pushes survivor to a new loop and catches unsuspecting survivors later on.

I would like a MMR mode and an old emblem mode (including negative pips). Let me choose if my match ups are based on end result kills/escapes or based on the performance during the match. For me the old emblem mode felt like a casual mode compared to MMR.

@azaxydbd said:
it would barely effect matchmaking time because u cannot ban multiple killers at once, also the most banned killers could simply get reworked so people stop banning them, simple.

Matchmaking is as loose as it is because actual high MMR players, which is a very small percentage of players, were waiting too long to be able to get into a match. Odds are the popular killers (like Blight) would be on the most ban lists. This would definitely be impactful to those killer players matchmaking times just as having a SWF ban list for killers would impact SWF matchmaking time.

in Cool DBD Ban System Idea. Comment by bm33 February 3, 2026

Having a ban list of killers, while it can sound nice, I can't see it actually working. For it to work as intended it'll hurt matchmaking times for everyone, already matchmaking time takes priority over MMR matchmaking for even matches so I can't see a ban list taking priority. For ban list to take priority they'd need an opt in for people on both sides which they don't even currently have for people who'd rather wait longer for more accurate MMR matchmaking, so again I don't think they'd do it. Then there's the killer side, why would they want a longer wait or not be able to play a killer in 1v4 where there are no restrictions in character/load out choices? Killers would then want something like a SWF ban, another thing to increase matchmaking and has same issues as the killer ban. You'll have 2 sides of ban lists that won't actually work because matchmaking time will take priority - so then you'll get players frustrated that they are still facing the things on their ban list and complaining it doesn't work for them.

I'd rather they have a selection in game where you can select and adjust over time your top 3 favorite/least favorite killers to face and play as. Can also do top 3 favorite/least favorite perks for both sides and maps. Devs can see what survivors/killers like and don't like tied to the stats of how often they use or face them and stats of when changes are made to selection without impacting the matchmaking.

The only adjustments to matchmaking I'd want is give me an opt in ability for a longer wait time so I can be matched with/against people at my skill level that includes the old emblem info and include loadouts in the matchmaking. That would also probably help with what killers feel bad/good to go against.

Play 2v8 where they have a better chance at staying alive longer and there's a smaller killer roster for them to learn.

Play customs until they're comfortable.

100 hours doing anything else is a long time, but in DBD it's really not much. Have you checked in with your friends to make sure they like the gameplay loop and want to put in more time to get better? If they don't find the gameplay fun I don't think there is much you can do to make them want to stick around.

On a somewhat related note, I'm assuming you mean well, so, respectfully, please don't offer unsolicited mental health advice. Treatments like therapy and what not don't work for everyone and shouldn't be viewed as the go-to.
More on-topic is how it was brought up to explain how awful the tone of matches are that they create such a uniquely terrible experience for a game.

I appreciate your input. If someone is publicly and unprompted saying their mental health is getting triggered to the point they feel like it's life or death (which sounds pretty extreme) I am going to continue suggesting they seek out a professional that is trained in mental health. To me it's the same as someone announcing "I have this open wound that won't stop bleeding, " I'd recommend they go see a doctor. Health is health and if people are hurting physically or mentally they should seek out help to address it.

The results don't speak to the journey, meaning that, as someone with PTSD, matches can feel like life or death due to their stressfulness.

If a game is stressing you out to the point it is triggering your PTSD to make you feel like it's a life or death situation you probably shouldn't be playing that game and you should definitely reach out to a professional. There's plenty of games out there that are fun and not stressful that you can play to hopefully avoid triggering your PTSD.

The unfortunate thing is old Calm Spirit would've helped a ton against this build because it suppresses screaming. Unfortunately when the devs decided to add interactions chest/totems are silent they also added the negative effect to the perk to make those interactions take much longer. So you could run Calm Spirit to not scream BUT you will also be spending even more time trying to cleanse the totems.

For the survivor: Cosmetics I like to look at because I'll be the one looking at them. How they sound, some have a super annoying scream or are too whiney when injured. If they have voicelines, while the voice lines can be amusing most get annoying pretty quick so since I can't turn them off I just don't use the character.

For killer: I go for who has a power that is simple on console and I have fun with. Trapper is my favorite, I enjoy finding random places to put my traps down to catch survivors. Easy BP gains, Doctor is my go to for this because it's easy for me to get BP in all the categories and bonus enjoyment hearing survivors scream throughout the match. Voicelines and noises they make throughout the match. I don't like them being chatty and making comments, some just sound annoying when stunned or using their power. Ghostface being silent and letting out an annoyed sigh when stunned is perfect.

in What do you prioritize in characters Comment by bm33 January 14, 2026

Every time a new survivor perk comes out that works with totems someone claims "this is going to kill hex totems" and each time that doesn't happen. What about this perk makes it more of a threat to hex totems than any of the survivor totem perks already available in the game? What meta perk would survivors bump to run this perk instead?

Totem spawns will always be an issue because of the limits to map design. Objects on maps have been removed to make more open space for chases and less hiding spots for survivors, this leads to less hiding spots for totems. There are broken spots that totems just don't spawn in anymore because either killer couldn't snuff boons or survivor couldn't destroy the totems. There's also the gameplay decisions of totems - totems like haunted grounds a killer would want survivors to find, some killers want to be able to monitor their totems so they can interrupt survivors, and a well hidden totem can become a well hidden boon totem.

2v8 is my favorite. I enjoy the simple casual feel to it. I take long breaks from DBD so coming back for 2v8 where I only need to catch up on changes to a small killer roster and not hundreds of perks is nice. In the majority of my games tunneling, camping, and slugging happen much less than in 1v4 and overall losing in 2v8 doesn't feel as bad/frustrating as 1v4 - maybe because it takes more than 1 weak teammate on survivor to bring the team down. I will say I don't enjoy it as much now as I did the first and second iterations but out of all the modes it's the only one I come back for.

Chaos shuffle I wanted to like but only the perks being random didn't make it feel like anything special, especially when people could still bring whatever items/addons/offerings they wanted. I'd be willing to give it another shot if they removed being able to choose items/add ons/offerings. I'd like it to be real chaos by making everything random including the character selection but that's probably asking too much.

If you don't like gens though there are quite a few trials that require gens, and sometimes you have to do them more than once. The most recent trial you need to turn on a timed gen multiple times to keep from freezing if you're not quick enough.

in Try Outlast Trials Comment by bm33 January 6, 2026

Trapper is my favorite to play as (and against) but I'm worried that if the devs buff Trapper now they're going to go the Myers route of making him a dash killer and kill the whole fun of playing Trapper. While early game he gets slowed down from set up he is great at snowballing the match for a win. He definitely needs some buffs but really nothing too crazy.

The Realm Beyond map updates nerfed Trapper with removal of ground cover and maps made brighter. Right now a survivor can see his traps from a mile away and because they are easily seen Trappers get forced to putting them mainly in pallets/windows in hopes he'll catch a survivor in one mid chase, they have to be completely oblivious to their surroundings to run into a trap just wandering around the map. If they made his traps harder to see, maybe even make more ground cover spawn when it's a Trapper, it would help him out so much.

While I totally get the reason behind not letting him start with all the traps (you do get the ones that would use them all to trap up first survivor hooked) having him traverse the map for most of his traps hurts him a ton, especially since they start disarmed. Have the traps spawn in better locations and armed at the start of the match. Trapper players would feel little less stress getting traps down if the ones not in hand are already set and it would allow them to start interacting with survivors earlier in the match.

I'd be for giving scaling perks a shot, I just think to have it done well would take alot of time/resources I don't think BHVR would be willing to put in. Can't really do a blanket decrease all perks by x amount for SWF and top tier killers, increase by x for solo and low tier killers. Really they would need to go through each perk individually to figure out the number adjustments for all the individual perks and on killer side would also need to make adjustments for each individual killer. I think at this point in the game there's just too many perks and killers to get it done when BHVR seems to struggle with what seem like much smaller QOL updates.

I would like to have perks/items/addons be included in matchmaking. Alot of times the build is a good indicator if someone is going in with a casual mentality or a competitive one. If someone has a sweaty loadout put them in match with those that are running similar loadout because they are prepared to sweat. Would probably make matches feel better and less lopsided. Unfortunately I think this would run into same issues for BHVR to implement as the scaling perks.

I have said in the past that people need to give other assyms an actual chance, that they drop them way too quick and don't give the devs time to address issues. BHVR had the opportunity to work through those new game growing pains but new games don't get that because the players have DBD to fall back on.

In general I still do believe people need to give other assyms a solid chance BUT in the case of the Halloween game I can't fault people for not wanting to give it a shot. While Illfonic are the main devs and have continued support on games that have a small playerbase, they unfortunately have teamed up with Gun who have now abandoned 2 games after 1 year and 5 months - F13 they had the lawsuit as their out, TCM they claimed "it reached it's full potential" even though data miners had found an unreleased killer and other content. Gun are the financiers for Halloween, I don't have faith they won't drop the financial support after 1 year and 5 months and force Illfonics hand to drop support. I personally won't bother with it unless Illfonic can guarantee to continue support if Gun jumps ship.

Also Illfonic usually for their games opens a discord server just for that game. With Halloween it's part of Guns discord server with Guns community managers being the main faces, Illfonic community managers are nowhere to be seen. During TCMs run Gun had terrible communication with the playerbase, like community managers just getting into petty arguments with players. Having Gun doing the communication on top of financing just seems like a bad choice after TCM.

I just want everyone to know that your video evidence is 3 months old, and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Still not providing a patch note or statement from BHVR that the system was adjusted from tunneling triggering the go next penalties when the issue was discovered months ago. You're still just trying to derail the OP, BHVRs inconsistency on what is considered "too punishing."
