Rapid Response Would... not reduce Head On's exhaustion timer...
Hehehe...
4x Vigil + Head-On exhaustion would result in 11 seconds of exhaustion
What's bro trying to cook
yeah, but then I won't save 20+ seconds of game time lmao. I know it's very meme, just tryina make the best out of the situation
I'm pretty sure it does. But I could be wrong though. I did see a video yesterday of a squad running this build and it did reduce it from 40 to 20
If it does. Thats a bug and should be reported
But they didn't do the 4 stack vigil.
1 Vigil makes 40s exhaustion turn into 24s
Rapid Response makes you exhausted for 20 seconds upon fast exiting a locker
Apparently thats overriding Head On's 40 second exhaustion
what are some good stealth perks other than lightweight?
Ok we found the real core of the question then
if you fast-exit a locker with both RR and HO, do you get 40s or 20s or exhaustion?
It SHOULD be the full 40 if HO also stuns the killer
Okay, so we've seen those videos of survivors stunning the killer with head on + flash bang. Especially in those clips, where it's a squad bullying the killer like this. Two or more of them are running head on + flash bang.
You should get 40 if you stun the killer
20 if you don't
Nope. You don't get exhausted if you miss
Goes to show how often I use headon...
is finesse, dead hard, windows and fixated good for looping?
bump
My game plan is this; if the head on cool down is reduced from 40 seconds to 20 seconds ^ with rapid response after stunning the killer, and you have a full squad (within range) running vigil. What would the cool down be afterwards? If a 4 stack vigil is equalled to 160%, could it be possible to jump back in the locker and stun the killer again?
rapid response SHOULD NOT reduce head ons exhaust timer
If it does. Thats a Bug. And abusing it can get you reported
Also infinite stunning the killer is hostage holding and is also reportable
Aww rubbish. 😮💨
another bump
Distortion
sounds situational but cool
Or can it?
Okay for option one fine whatever
But option 2 would be reportable
any others @tall crow ?
Ask Deli
I dont play survivor
Infinite stunning the killer will still be bannable
is dance with me good now?
Aww rubbish 😮💨
wasn't finesse 30% vault speed? did they nerf it to 20? or was it always 20
It was always 20
what killer would you recommend to someone who wants to win matches, whilst also being entertained, and having fun.
Whoever you find fun personally
Every killer is capable of winning games and getting kills
who has better perks? ghoul or dark lord?
Ghoul
Also, how do I stop him from screaming it's quite annoying when I'm trying to level him
Buy the Rize skin or mute your game
Click your charm customization button to make a hook pop up instead
That too
I need to level him though and paywalling peace and quiet is quite greedy
Then yeah, just lowering your volume is probably the best bet
nothing to listen for on the bloodweb anyways
Hi King Crimson, where's your user?

Hey Madous. What happens on Tuesday?

guys... we finally got fnaf in the game... what now? What ip do we bully bhvr into adding?

scroll up a bit
hey, we hit 5 whole minutes this week before someone asked
I'm impressed, GQ, you're learning 🙂
Just got the unknown, what is a good build for him?
I highly recommend checking this guide out for a very fun build and quite a unique strategy to playing the Unknown
https://youtu.be/xQ-mEL95q9I?si=hc7nBQx2avAQ-dhD
Dead by Daylight has various stealth killers who are known to spook you should you let your guard down. Among them is a killer not widely recognized, an entity whose stealth capabilities are largely... Unknown.
This is a guide showcasing what makes The Unknown the best and ideal stealth killer and how a simple status effect can completely chan...
For a more general gameplay this video (and channel as a whole) will do better
https://youtu.be/mUL6g831AK4?si=1Gs_1VFB9AMV2YMJ
The Unknown, despite it's several strange controversies, has quickly become one of my favorite DBD characters to play as and is probably one of if not the best designed characters in a long time for the game. That goes for the entirety of the "all things wicked" chapter, which brought in a lot of new exciting content to DBD. I loved the PTB so m...

ITS A TUESDAY 🚨EVERYONE REMAIN CALM 🚨 STEAM MAINTENANCE HAPPENS ON TUESDAYS 🚨
This shrine of secrets rotation kinda goated no? Thalitas perk and yoichi giving haste is worth spending on?
Yoichi's perk is probably the better of the two, and both killer perks are great
Overall though, pretty awesome shrine this time around
Thalita perk yoichi oerk and made for this who gon stop me
Helloo, I was just wondering, based on your opinion which is the best build just for looping, dw if there is any perks from license survs
Shit id get yoichis perk and get a totem around a loopable area then made for this and resilience probably thalitas perk too so when u get made for this turned in after healing a survivor ur gonna be within 16 meters of them for a while thats a whole 19% haste including resilience
The only perk I always use is finesse
@primal folio if dbd was to buff rift fragments/BP numbers from challenges… would that be something that would be in a bug fix or not till a major update?
Good question, I'm not sure
At the very least, I would imagine a hypothetical patch like that would go live before the current rift ends.
I gotcha
i have a question, im new to the game, but whats the point of using addons if they are limited. i got kaneki and they gave me some for free, but after i found out they ran out some things i learned from them are just gone. youtubers always recommend to use addons but they got a ton of them to spare
You'll end up getting way more addons than you use, don't worry too much about holding onto anything.
Smoke em if you got em
some of them lowered cooldowns so it actually confused the hell out of me when they disapeared and things felt slower lol
should i buy licensed survivors for their perks, or wait for them to pop up in the shrine?
im new to the game if someone doesnt mind helping with a few questions
- does it matter what survivor i play? I know there are perks, can i just put any perk on any character? 2. I have perks that are green, i know once they turn purple theyre "upgraded" how do i do that?
My suggestion is that if you like the surv by itself then buy it, if you only want them for 1 perk I'd wait for the shrine
bro my bloodweb for spirit is bugged, there is this mystery box that got a bright green color to it and everytime I buy it I still stay at the same lvl and I get the bloodpoints that I used for it refunded, can someone pls help me?
What do you all think of the skin for Dredge from the Rift Pass?
It's cool, btw nice wonder of u pfp
When's next 2v8?
- Yes, after you complete a character's level 50 bloodweb, their perks become usable on all other characters. Survivors are all identical in terms of skill; they only differ in appearance and their voice. Play whoever you like the most aesthetically.
- Higher tiers of perks randomly appear in your bloodweb.
No date has been provided as of yet
@primal folio pls do u know how to resolve this bug?
A game reboot is my only idea there
I have tried restarting my game, tried restarting my pc and it still doesnt work
Thank you, I've seen your pfp too but idk the name lol. I think the skin is great especially the last variant that glows blue is awesome, but I think it's another case of an excellent skin on a low-medium tier killer.
Ur welcome dude, btw imo dredge is really strong he just needs really strong perks
Is bond perk worth using in some buids? I want to make aura build with Bond Kindred Open handed and maybe window of opportunity/otr
Really? fair enough if so, I tried him and he's fun but idk if I could main him, rn I main Nemesis because I really like his design and I love bulky or tanky characters in TV and Movies, but if I had to main someone else it'd be Pinhead, but I'm TERRIBLE at using his chain ability, what about you?
Is there a bug with Silent Hill map? Game disconnects me from lobby when trying to play that map and only that map
Im a sadako main, I use her with her 3 signature perks and sloppy butcher
Dayum, do games ever get tough? she's low tier iirc
thank you!
Depend's on the way I play her, but tbh it's a 50/50, and counting that i dont have any good perk on her, only sloppy butcher is great but anything else is really mid
Typically no Main Survivor, but Main Portia Maye The HoundMaster as Killer
Well, I hope you get other essential perks and enjoy her, despite Nemesis being a mid tier killer it doesn't stop me from enjoying em
Same here dude, who do you main as surv btw?
Unfortunately I don't really like playing survivor at all, I'm a killer main constantly, I've never bought a survivor in my life but have like 35/39 killers in the game lol
Dang, I respect that man, but me, sometimes I get so cooked as a killer to the point that I just play surv and that's it, i only got 9 killers btw, The only ones I bought were Myers, Clown, Sadako and The knight
I relate to that so much lol, but I could never quit or DC in a match because I'm just not like that I suppose. I also bought The Knight because he looked cool, but I don't use him at all because his power is just quite mid. I was playing for a long while but left around when Chucky was released and I never got good, I'm not great at the game and I'm still learning so I have a bit of a road ahead of me.
Me and my friend are having issues inviting eachother both are on xbox and xbox invites don't work yet also the in game invite tab doesn't say we are there. Is this something going round or has gone round? Is there a fix?
I never dc, what I usually do is just being silly with the survivors and chill with them, they're so cute when you're friendly to them
Definitely, I've done that a few times too, it's funny
Best part is when they want to slug race, they always try to sneak to be first lol
🤣 it's great, ima go but it was nice meeting you Adam, gotta sleep to wake up tomorrow
Yeah man take care, cyaaa :D
You too! :D
are servers down again
I don’t get what width of flashlight does? Like the add ons that increase width does it make you be able to aim to like the side of their head more or what
This wraith luvs to hump
Just makes the beam wider so you can be less accurate and still get a blind
Please can someone offer me some advice on my build? Should I change any perks and what 2nd addon would be good here? Its a deathslinger anti heal idea. And whats the best offerings for small maps?
Chat died damn
does taking a hit for a carried survivor count as a protection hit
like, a survivor that is in the process of being carried by a killer
thanks bro
Replace thanatophobia with Sloppy Butcher I think
Thanatophobia is really only good on two killers, the benefits are only there when all 4 survivors are injured and not many killers, even with good perks for it, can let that happen
Is pyramid head good, I really like silent hill and already have him and play him, should I keep playing him?
He's definitely on the stronger side, very solid killer. His biggest downside is honestly his addons, a lot of them are useless
I'm using the addon for mangled
Does that matter though?
Not necessarily, you can play whoever you want independent of if a killer is considered "good" or not
Pyramidhead I would definitely consider a strong and good killer though, so if you enjoy Silent Hill and playing as Pyramidhead, then keep playing him!
Yeah kinda. He feels pretty strong but I think I just kinda have to figure out chasing and the perk system. Same can be said with running away, I suck.
He's definitely not easy to play as, but he's still very powerful cuz of his special attack
It's all about practice
Pyramid Head is amazing. The only downside is the lack of good add-ons. He's definitely strong and has everything you need to win games.
Except I’m buns 
can you still do mobile dbd transfer to pc and console
fix nemesis?
No, mobile went offline several months ago if I recall correctly
Yes, they're trying. What's the question specifically?
what should i use for the 4th perk??
any idea of a rough eta? he been disabled for a few days now is the bug that bad?
Practice makes perfect. I play him a lot and find myself making dumb mistakes sometimes. After all this is just an asymmetrical party game and shouldn't be taken seriously.
probably when 2v8 comes back
isnt that in a whole ass month?
no its this month
Lots of misinformationhere
2v8 has not been announced to be returning
there is a post on dbd twitter with the estimated return date for nemesis
i was gonna say i think ur yapping
execute them
wasnt it hinted at coming back in august at the pax livestream or am i misremembering?

i dont have twitter can anyone lemme know when it is?
What does it mean when there’s an obsession on the survivor?
its the big claw things around their portrait on the left, it doesnt have any impact on normal gameplay unless u have a specific perk that interacts with it
Okay
they just make sure theres always one in the game so you cant tell if the killer has obsession perks just from it being there or not
is it banable to let one survivor live/escape and if it is is it a perma ban?
no, showing mercy is fine
its not bannable
why is my friends acc not showing when i search it in dbd
sorry if this is a stupid question but does anyone have a link to the song that plays when you're hooked with the guitar? i literally have scoured the soundtrack multiple times, i can't find it and it's not the regular hook theme apparently
sorry, was in a game and couldn't get it right away
i remember it playing back during the november 2v8 as well when you were caged
its actually crazy how i remember the soundtracks of being hooked and the background bass 😭
it's driving me fucking insane man
quick question, i have 1 million bloodpoints and only plan on playing 2 killers, should i be pumping all of that into the bloodweb to level up
get one to prestige 3 which is around 3.3 million bp and then the other
how much levels is a prestige, im got one killer to level 8 rn
50
prestiging gives teachable perks (these will automatically be in each killers loadout and p1 = tier 1 perk p3 = tier 3 perk etc)
alright ill start working towards that, thanks
the main killer u want to get perks from is artist and plague as they both have realy good slowdown but its up to you whoever u want to get
u dont need slowdown it just helps the game not ending within 5 mins and giving u a chance to play the game
I FINALLY FUCKING FOUND IT https://youtu.be/GngBYw90BkU?si=PX9qxyWRMsi6U6DL&t=41
All credits goes to Michel F. April.
OHH THE STAGE 2 ONE
Do we know when 2v8 is coming?
YES I HAVE TRIED TO FIIND THIS FOR ABSOLUTELY FOREVER
that will be too much for me honestly lol, i started playing for springtrap but kaneki caught my attention
so that May 2v8 ain't happening b'alriiiight
nothing confirmed but everything points to no so far
Is there any way to make this build better? Something that mirrors old ftp and buckle up. I wanna try force lose-loses on killers by quickly picking up others from dying, and we both have endurance
why not just swap out well make it for for the people
Does ftp work with mft and wglf? I thought for some reason it wouldnt give both me and downed surv endurance
it should unless they changed something about it that i dont know about
Wtf, why did they nerf buckle up ftp then if it can be done with just one more perk anyway 😭
because using 3 perks to do something is 50% more perks than doing it with just 2 perks
that's fair. Ty though, Ill give it.
Can someone help me make an early game build for kaneki (ghoul)
is getting iridescent 1 hard?
it takes a while and especially on solo queue surv it can be annoying to pip sometimes but you cant really lose progress that much so its more of a matter of time than difficulty
it just takes time
N o
Lethal and gearhead go so hard on kaneki
How do I get those, sorry I started yesterday
lethal is from nemeiss and gearhead is from deathslinger
How long do you think it would take to get those? Like what level on the bloodweb would they be
you would need to prestige 2 separate characters and a prestige is like around a million bloodpoints
Wait so prestige two on each of those or what I’m confused sorry
i'd suggest to prestige both of them 3 if u want to use multiple chracters as it will be a big waste over time to get the perks tier 3 i
prestiging a character unlocks their perks for everyone else
prestige 1 a character = all their perks tier 1 on everyone else
Prestige 2 and 3 gives their picks tier 2 and 3
you can upgrade the perks from prestige 1 and 2 just like you upgrade generic perks by finding them at higher levels in the bloodweb
Yeah, so id have to get prestige two on both to get those two perks to use on ken?
only prestige 1 on each, that would give you the tier 1 perks on kaneki. then u could go into kanekis bloodweb and upgrade them to tier 2 and 3
Are you looking for brutal/meta efficiency or fun? Bc if you just wanna win, you'd prestige plague, artist, and clown before everyone else.
Okay bet thanks man
but if a character has perks you want to use on multiple characters its more effecient to prestige them multiple times that way you dont have to search through each individual characters bloodweb for the perks
I dunno I js wanna get the most kills possible and the most fun with ghoul i downloaded the game for him lmao
tbh, maybe awful advice but if u rly wanna have fun, perks are kinda redundant
slowdown lets me have fun tbh
Okay okay
Slowdown lets you win and shove a gen-block sock in the mouths of survs 😂
ik but it makes games longer and i just run passive slowdown
if you want like, meta meta gen slowdown, prestige artist, clown, and plague. That'll get you plenty of kills
Yeah I saw plague and clown has a lot of useful perks
artist has the best perks hands down
artist has the most powerful
artist is prob the single best prestige in the game by far
Oh really okay
I love how 3 people in the space of 3 seconds all had the same thought 😂
grim embrace is an extra 70 seconds slowdown
pain resonance is passive slowdown which is better then most aggressive slowdown
pentimento can be an ass to deal with on hex builds
Id do artist and plague in your shoes. Corrupt is bloody amazing for new players
Like, getting corrupt from plague will make life as a newer player a lot easier with 0 activation conditions
plague is only really used for corrupt and infectious fright on niche builds
clown has bamboozle for m1 killers but pop isnt that well on low mobility killers
fr
is genetic limits really that good it doesn’t seem that useful for Ken
corrupt on niche builds? Corrupt has to be the best gen slowdown perk next to pain res
i meant for infectious
ooo mbmb. And genetic limits is mid tbh
genetic limits is bad just get slowdown or aura perks for kaneki
How would you edit this build someone made for Ken then?
lethal pursurer corrupt intervention genetic limits pain res
swap genetic limits for something like
BBQ and chili
alien instinct
I feel like alien instinct would be the best out of those two, right?
bbq and chili is for all survivors meanwhile alien instinct is for one
they both fill different niches but alien instinct is good for kaneki
bbq would be the better perk to get unless you want to play alien
can you link cross progression from xbox gamepass to pc gamepass
they should be linked to the same account if not then idk
Okay bet I’ll grind for all those then, and is there a build I can use for now purely from Ken’s bloodweb to grind? I can send what I have rn if need be
use otzdarva .com for builds and addons he has stuff like this
Is there a way to filter for what I have rn and stuff
those two basic perks on the left and middle right are going to be coming soon
they are made basic from pinhead leaving but we dont know when
the bottom right is guaranteed to have what u have other then pinhead perks ^^^
Okay thanks man
What do the mini icons above the perk photo mean
Alternative perks
So they’d be second best to what’s shown? Or can they be hand and hand
Second best. Sometimes hand in hand
Also note: "Build with basic perks" uses Cenobite's perks. They're currently not in the bloodweb but will be soon
Yeah so do you have anything to recommend I could swap pinheads perk on the far left of the basic build with
I don’t have those yet unfortunately, only bitter
who thinks kaneki should be removed and who thinks he should stay in dbd
Are servers taking a shit
Are any of pinheads perks out in the bloodweb yet?
no
what happen to guardians and shadow collection 😔
Not out yet (skin censored for ppl who dont wanna see it yet)
Kaneki should stay he’s fun to play and survive against
Honestly he’s really easy to survive so if you can’t that’s kinda on you. I’ve won many matches surviving him
@subtle solstice speaking of Ken should I use my points to continue prestiging him or save for others
if yall have lara croft at p15, but feng min at zero who would yall buy a skin for , i like a lil bit of lara crofts stuff but mostly feng min but i alrdy prestiged lara croft hella
Your money your rules. If you want a Feng cosmetic go for it
i keep getting disconnected from host its been happening since this morning anybody know a fix or possibly why?
One message removed from a suspended account.
No, it hasn't been announced for this month
so im thinking of using engineers fang on cenobite but noed but im wandering if it will insta down them or still just injure them
Was anyone else having issues like specifically the game like flickering to a black screen than back on to the game like normal?
Is haste still stacking despite that getting changed?
What day is Tuesday maintenance?
Yes, this change was walked back. Haste/hinder stacks
I haven't ran into this, no
The addon can never down a target. Additionally, special attacks do not benefit from exposed.
Oh, I thought this was a bug
alright thanks

mb for asking again but need to know. i keep getting disconnected from host its been happening since this morning anybody know a fix or possibly why?
If you see a message saying "Dedicated server not responding", this is BHVR's servers disconnecting the game, nothing you can do unfortunately. It instantly kicks everyone from the match, not just you alone.
ITS A TUESDAY 🚨EVERYONE REMAIN CALM 🚨 STEAM MAINTENANCE HAPPENS ON TUESDAYS 🚨
Steam maintenance ended roughly 3 hours ago
i keep getting dced alone it says disconnected from host
That sounds like your internet dropping, then
Oh, I never know when it happens tbh
Good to know
damn bc bru im up to 30 minute dc penalty
ds or off the record
off the record
Both of these perks are doing their job well against tunnelling.
but whitch is better
OTR can be used twice
It can also be taken under the hook after you get rescued. I’d say they are both great perks but DS gives more options to survivors. Especially coordinated teams.
Isnt this build the killer had, the best to see auras of survivors AAALL the time?
Maybe I'd swap one of them, for Nurse calling
Like, the uptime is insanely high, come to think of it
You are very often seeing auras of ppl
BBQ and Chili also I think
nurses calling and deerstalker and such does not add to the seconds count if I'm correct
My game has crashed twice today when playing the pig on ps5 Is there any reason why??
error in the bloodweb keeps showing up any reason why?
I checked forum regarding this issue but I don’t see anyone having the same problem. Most likely on your end. Did you look for the error code? What does it say?
It's a server-side error, nothing that you're doing is causing it. Just try a game reboot and go again
i have multiple times
Sorry, that's my only idea :/
ty its fine
What’s your upload speed?
its 20 is that bad or good?
Bloodweb errors would not be related to their network/bandwidth. It's a server-side error
Well my friend has the same issue all the time because he’s using data to play. I didn’t get it in months and he’s getting it often when we play and spend points.
Coincidental, nothing to do with their connection, I know that for sure
The cause is that the game is trying to either finish or generate a new bloodweb, and can't
I don't know the specifics of why, and it's likely something that needs fixed on BHVR's side

Do Offerings have Lore implications?
Some do, with their flavor text.
Or even items?
I know the Hatch someone made it, but we dont know who, and the Entity dislikes
When is 2v8 coming out
As in:
The offerings themselves, and items
Do Survivors actually use them Lore wise?
Why would the Entity leave survivors use these tools?
To make trials more spicy?
Yep, you pretty much nailed it
Gives survivors more hope, which turns to despair once they've lost
oooohh🫣 🔥
I forgot to look for an error code. Is there any way to check?
we dont know yet but probably sometime soon
its a known error and has ben happening to alot of people including myself the only way around it for it not to pop up for a little is to restart your game

Is anyone having issues grabbing off gens, I’ve tried for the last couple hours, tried multiple killers but I’m unable to grab off gens, window vaults, pallets. I can’t grab unless I’ve downed a surv and then I can pick them up
if your ping or their ping is bad, it's harder to get the grab
I’ve literally befriended survivors and tried to grab them as they’re doing a gen and there’s no prompt for it at all
there is no prompt like using space to grab i think, you just stick on their back and do m1
Oh for some reason I always thought there was a prompt 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
what point category is cleansing totems
You hold the attack button
boldness
Is there a way to know where Totems spawn, so I can give up Detective hunch, for Windows of opportunity? 😦
Or just "Play and memorize the locations, Lol 🤷♂️ " 😅
some maps have high chance totem spawn spots, others you have to find with experience
usually totems spread like a pentagon or X-shaped
I was being so dumb 😂
Should i spend more blood points to keep prestiging the ghoul or save for other characters
Did you just tap it?
All maps have 15 (or so) totem locations and always spawn 5 totems
Try get every killer you have prestige 1 then continue with the one you like the most because you can get all the perks that way
No for some reason I thought there was a prompt even though I’ve done it in the past I for some reason this time thought it gave me a prompt to grab 🤦🏼♀️😂😂
There is a prompt to bite not grab 😭
PRESS the attack button. If you lunge, no grab
I’m so dumb at times 😂😂
Go behind them and hold the button it grabs if they are doing a gen ofc
Tapping works just as well, and you won't accidentally lunge
On xbox tapping has a 20/80 chance of succeding holding hasnt failed me once
totems have spawn logics, learn the logics
As in what?
I normally check corners, and so on
But If I give up Detective hunch for another perk, to put the 2 boons, then Im gonna lose many seconds searching for the totem, which I could spend repairing in the first place
Thats the thing
Use a map item. You should have lots of bloodsense maps from bloodmoon
e.g. the 2 big rocks with a dint that you could fit in
jungle gyms, hills, killer shack
that one small deadend in the water tower of mcmillian
these are some common spawns
when I played boons, I go for generators while searching totems on my path going towards the gen, and it's fine if you don't put down the boon early
One message removed from a suspended account.
It must not have been an official post
There was a survey asking if 2v8 should return recently but it wasn't going to be this week
Was 2v8 good?
I had fun with it!
Heartbeats.... so many heartbeats......
...and some others are still recovering from it.
licensed killers with default heartbeat music will throw you off very hard
Is it my impression
Or allies with Bond, guide the killers to the survs?
I see it A LOOOT
it is reportable
giga toxic
Is it once or twice a day
I swear
So either a premade team of killer + surv, click "Join game" at the same time, and if they land in the same game they troll
Or they make the plan in-game, which is unlikely without a chat
If the killer is actually trying to kill everyone, no it cannot be reported
It's only when both the killer and a specific survivor are clearly being friendly to eachother and the survivor directly leads them to people over and over
Frenzies were plentiful but my brain hurt from the heartbeats
Once or twice in a game is almost certainly just a newer player not knowing where to run.
Ignorance over malice, y'know
dbd should put more focus in making new characters/maps/events than skins for older characters

We're a community ran questions channel here, the devs don't look for feedback in this server
So, I'm just trying to see if I remember right; Nurse used to basically have to run agitation cuz she used to not get normal carry movement speed when carrying right? She was slower than everyone else?
Reporting does anything?
Usually yea, if it's cheating you have to submit video evidence typically though
Ik she used to run it because Starstruck used to work on her
But Agitation is just a good perk too
As in, I have to go all the way and open a ticket/email to Support
Or with the in game tool its enuff?
is it okay to be a friendly killer? i see some of them as survivor and im curious if its allowed
the support ticket is bonus points. not required though
yes, this is allowed
Yes, thats for fun
Whats toxic is to collude as Killer + Surv, to find the other 3
omg yes im so being friendly as houndmaster and letting people pet snug tysm!!
Thats actually cute😳 🫣
So this is actually useful?
I havent read anyone in the Discord getting banned
Doesnt mean anything tho I guess
Anyway TY
Reporting works. If someone is doing something reportable, report them
DBD ADD THE SKINS ALREADY
This is better for #game-discussion, but what skins? Theres most likely a release date for whatever you're thinking of
The skins from this collection @fickle grove
Same guy asking why they weren't released today
Ah
What was BHVR doing with mmr? Apparently they doing something from patch notes
Do killers read the lobby chat?
If you have record play back or whatever it’s called and upload it through the website they have a better chance of getting banned
@spice nacelle no only endgame
They can if they're on Pc
Wait killers can talk in pregame chat now?
All they've said is that they're going to make it more about what you do in a match as opposed to the current escape/kill
Pregame no, postgame only.
I think they should let console users talk in lobby chat because they are bringing m&k support now to consoles
I spent 20 minutes waiting for a match and killed all 4 of them in under 5 minutes
why is this game doing this to me?
source?twitter?
The Year 9 livestream at PAX
TY
does this game have a replay system, like a way to watch your match from the other players perspective
on pc yes
There's no replay function on PC or any platform
i thought he meant like when u die u can spectate another player
You can spectate a live game that you've died in, yes, but there's no recording of it
yea i thought thats what they meant
The pool to cleanse the dirty woman's breath whatever she's called
Do they regen/refill?
It sounded funny now when I read it xD🤣
But I really dont know how to describe or call her better🤷♂️
If all pools are red at the same time, plague instantly gets her power and they all reset to normal.
- map has some pools, one red by default
- you cleanse at a white pool and it becomes red, killer consumes a red pool and it becomes white
It spreads by touch IIRC, or changed?
I think she can infect objects, but survivors dont infect each other, or smth
Mindbreaker is a general perk now?
The agreement expired or smth for Stranger things?
only fully infected survivor (in broken state) can infect other survivor or object
no mindbreaker is not a free perk anymore
It not longer is considered general/universal since the Stranger Things license has returned c:
oohh 😮 🫣
wwhy cant my console start up DBD?
Bug restart it
tried for at least an hour doesnt work
Check your console doesnt need updating
Check if dbd needs an update as well
ty so very much console update fixed it
Its all good everyone has that issue once in there lives with consoles
I'm trying to do an old tome mission, it says to hit two survivors with a single corrupt. Is going into deep wounds not considered injuring?
As long as the vomit touched 2 different survivors, it should have counted
RIP, it didn't :(
I had a question about something I ordered a ps5 and it finally came today, I’m not sure if the version of dbd I have on my ps4 is for ps5 as well and off the off chance it isn’t if I download the ps5 version of it will I have my game data or will I have to start from scratch?
Your DBD account will follow you as long as you're using the same Sony/PSN account
Ok perfect thank you!
wasnt there a deadline to be able to swap all you ps4 data to ps5 years ago? friend of mine says she doesn't have certain things on her ps5 that she got on her ps4 cause of some deadline. for dbd at least. like cosmetics and stuff
cross progression has no cutoffs, no
staying in the same console family doesn't require crossprog regardless.
Yea, I think it's bugged. Someone unhooked in my face and I corrupted both of them and got nothin
Ah, I think it's not counting the second time I do it so that's causing the issue
Does how long you puke on an object affect it's contamination duration?
Trial characters are still haddie and dredge or?
Yes they are I believe
40 seconds
Is that a yes it does or no it doesn't-
havent played in a while, is hinder stacking or nah? trying to see if its worth running knock out on freddy or not
Haste and Hinder no longer stack
Oh my goodness I completely misread your question I'm sorry
No how much you puke on it does not change the duration
That's what I figured, ty!
Is hysteria good
My game has now crashed 3 times today when playing the pig specifically her no one else on ps5 Is there any reason why?? I get error code CE-108255-1 every time
Not true, this change was reverted before it went live
@toxic mauve you can still stack hinder and haste and it's pretty decent on clown
It's ok, but there's no killer who keeps people injured who also benefits a lot from stealth. Only one who gets much benefit is plague
Maybe legion? The whole point is no heal right?
its insane bro on clown doing it rn lmao
hysteria and the oblivious effect does weird things on feral frenzy
Haste and hinder stacking is still a thing, yes. This was walked back before it went to live servers @sage current
does deli count for this?
I don't see why not
i cannot find a single answer anywhere
this achievement was added with deli
So presuming it goes off the same metric, it should work
Legion can't get killer instinct against oblivious survivors, so they hate stealth perks
idk if this is liek the rigth channgel to ask thsi in bnut like
i keep getting kicked out of lobbies cause the anticheat "cant verify my account" .. i'm kinda confused because i have NO mods or anything likke that
like im straight vanilla
idk how i'd fix that cause i restarted my game n stuff </3
so idk
anybody having shit queue times rn for surv
Did they nerf play with your food
No
is window tech gone?
Deliverance and Second wind. Does it work?
it's still in the game
am i js fucking it up?
No
Aww dang, thanks.
precise timings if you don't use key or things that makes you lose collision
Is mettle of man worth it or no?
More often than not no
yea i was js watching a vid he said if you want to ignore the timing aspect js use a key or clairvoyance
So trash?
look at it like this mettle of man fire when it gets value feels useless when u dont
There’s a this small edge between good and trash
MoM is somewhere there
In what instance is this perk viable?
When you successfully take a lot of protection hits and don’t get killed in the process
More time than not you wont even get it to activate once anyway
Would it be worth running alone in any build? Or create a build around it?
The latter is more preferable generally
That's fair
Even so its very niche
How many prestige do you need to give to get the skin?
4, 5 and 6 for each piece
ty
Which survivors perks are so bad that it's trash. Like Doo Doo garbage bad...
I can only think of both Invocations, Boon: Illumination and this is not happening in the moment
Both invocations? Reals? Dang...
No Mither
Friendly Competition
Low Profile
Red Herring
In most cases, anything that requires you to be useless to activate is pretty bad yeah
How does dredge's remnant work?
Add Premonition to the list.
He can hold the power button to leave it and can either return to it or just let go and it disappears
Survivors can get rid of it by running through
If the next survivors are from The Walking Dead, I wonder what their perks will be?
That’s more of a #game-discussion kind of question
No
Developers very rarely appear here and they have their own unique role assigned to them
I was watching a vid that was uploaded 9 hours ago and he wasn't losing stacks using his special but I lose stacks when I use special?
If it was nemesis, he's bugged and thats the main reason he's killswitched
No it was plague
Nvm i misread the question. What do you mean by nerf
You don’t lose stacks from using the green puke if that’s what you mean
A yt named puffalope made a vid and a plague build his red vomit didn't make him lose his stacks but when I do it it does?
It does make you lose stacks, it could be a bug or something
I just played Plague using PWYF yesterday and I can confirm that it works like that
Oh alright
is this build fire
Which killers teachables are the most worth it?
Of Trapper, Myers, Huntress, Pyramid Head and Dredge
As a new player why does console not have a chat but pc does?
pyramid head and huntress teachables suck ngl but trapper and myers probably have the best
Pyramidhead has quite a decent set of perks nowadays
Trapper. Agitation and Brutal Strength are extremely strong for weaker killers.
Sometimes when i redeem alot of bloodwebs, i will get disconnected and have to relog
Ty ❤️ ill likely go w Trapper after i do chucky
Its a known bug rn. Itll hopefully be patched soon
thx
As a ghostface main godbless
Brutal Strength + Olsens wallet(the one that recharges power after breaking pallet) is definently a good combo.
I mostly play ghostface and Wraith, but afaik Wraith is like- A-tier? I could be wrong tho
GF on lerys is maybe high C/ low b tier. Otherwise he’s relatively weak. Brutal lets m1 killers like GF get rid of good resources (strong pallets) and letting them get a down fasted.
Guys can anyone tell me what perk lets you open the lockers without going in the locker
Deception from Elodie
Yea i mispoke i meant to say Wraith is A not GF
Thanks
Wraith on DDS can definently be strong but some maps are just not that good for him (big maps)
Thankfully i dont care too much abt the "meta" killers i just like playing characters i like. Im a little bit tistic about Scream so ghostface was an obvious choice. Hes just FUN to play
holy based ghostface is awesome
Hes silly i love him
Corrupt, monsterous shrine, eruption, pain res
Do we no longer gain rift fragments from simply playing dbd now? Already finished the quests and don't seem to be getting any from matches..
it's either none or very few that it is neglectable rn
Quests are fun but not getting any from matches is a bit, disappointing
they said they will buff it don't know when though
Definitely hope they do
You do, it's just no longer showing your progress to single rift shards from playing
They said they will observe it in the next few weeks and make changes accordingly iirc
they will fix the issue in the next rift at best 🙏 fr
Stuck at tier 64 for a while then I guess lol
Mathematically this version is faster, it's just weekly instead of fortnightly for new challenges so it started off slower
My point exactly. Only the second week and we already have people at 64
I have everything maxed, I love this rift so was gonna do my absolute best to max it then found out we don't get much fragments from matches anymore 😭
you will see him at like lvl80 after 1 month if match xp give close to none
Again. We do, in your quest collection bar at the bottom of the lobby after you finish a match it will still sometimes give you a fragment or two even without finishing a quest, it's just the normal match xp is hidden
It'll take a long time to max this rift out yes
Sometimes but not often enough
After a match in rift 21 you would earn between 0-1 fragments, mayyybe 2 if you were really lucky
ok talking about it here too but ive noticed after using my broken to iri key build that (exultation, anymeans, and a broken key) that i can pretty much upgrade all my low tier items to highter tiers, however ive sprung across the issue that no matter what me and a group a friends do no matter what time or type of toolbox we upgrade it becomes a engineers toolbox (no chance of alex's), is this a glitch or really bad luck?
Never really payed attention during rift 21 but I did also join core during the later half so was able to max it easier
Depends on the extent of the testing, if it never gives you Alex's then you should report it as a bug
That's what I thought it might be tbh but I've just now started using the perk since I found out it's the best way to almost guarantee I'll get rid of my low quality items while getting higher quality items in return
how rare is finding one of the vecna consumables
The body parts of vecna? 1/20 so 5%
yea those
and are they worth using if u find one
I only do the shortest path in the old tomes, no master challenges, and i can reach rift lv 120
the quests are easier sure but i will have to do every one of them when I want to use my own build
I have however noticed a bit while changing my perks up and did want to ask more questions like, I'm noticing luck effects killers like trapper, pig, and vecna quite a bit but its effects of addons is a lot lower then its effects on items. Is that supposed to be because like? I use up the anti and salty jar of lips with plunderers and I can almost have a 80% chance of getting 3 iri keys that match
I just find it interesting since if all survivors went against a trapper or a pig and they all brought a jar of lips they can practically get out of their traps within the first 2 tries
ah yes another long forgotten mechanic that only counters 2 killers cough cough killer burn
Luck does not influence any interaction with killer powers, neither does it increase the odds of finding high rarity items in chests. All it does is increase your odds of unhooking yourself.
anyone want to recommend me a killer to play? I've played the game on console but on pc rn I have gunslinger, trickster, knight and dont know who else I could play
I did a quick read through to double check and I'm confused it seems like slippery meats effect with changing pig and trappers luck were changed but outside of that, that's it, unless I missed a dev note
No you won't, you don't have to do most of them and most of them are done passively and are done all together
It is possible that perks used to influence one's chances of escaping a Bear Trap or finding a key in a Jigsaw box, but in current DBD, the Luck stat has only one function: which is increasing your chances of a self-unhook. It is a conscious decision from the devs that perks should not counter specific killer powers. Adrenaline, for example, used to instantly wake you up from the Dream World upon triggering. This was removed not too long ago.
unless im misremembering pig's whole find a box with your key in it shtick was reworked to instead have each hat require 1, 2, 3 or 4 searches to unlock it, so the only luck involved was if you were the survivor that recieved the 4 attempts hat instead of the 1 attempts hat
Yeah, I think there is an RNG element to it, but that's handled seperately and does not change based on one's Luck stat.
ok note i am going into a custom game when trying this but ive noticed with vs without luck addons my average amount of struggles with luck bonus is 2.7 (most of my untraps being 1 or 5) vs without is a average amount of 3.6 (most being around 2,3,5 note i tried the trap average about 20 times for both variables i could test it later but it seems like a difference?
What stealth perks are there besides lightweight and distortion?
depends what build do you wanna run
In my case, weaving spiders and no mither lmao
Have a friend give you babysitter
hold up i got a whole list of perks for you as a person that runs it
Your chances of escaping a Bear Trap are roughly 17% per try, but you always succeed at the sixth attempt. This is an RNG factor that exists outside of Luck stat. Like I said, Luck only increases self-unhooking chance.
so just weird stats that just happened to line up with my luck builds dang i thought i found something
ok theres Off the record, (tenacity/plot twist risky combo but it can work), (dance with me/quick and quiet), [deception and Lucky stat can be used separate but also mesh well], Diversion
I run trail of torment, lethal pursuer, pop, bbq, beast marks, and primer bulb on bubba is that good?
I like bubba to be sneaky idk if thats a good strat its worked so far for the most part
Stealth perks are generally weaker perks, but bubba is probably the best user of them in the entire game
Back when penti plaything was overrated bubba was the only actually good user of it
I assume plot twist doesn't actually heal to full
try runnin trail with third seal and zacian tactics it can kinda give you better loops especially with leathal
Also is quick and quiet here just for faster map traversal? I don't see how it's good in chase with dance with me
sorry just got out of a match but dance with me sadly doesnt silence your vaults but removes your scratch marks where as quick and quiet does that so you pretty much do a quiet vault with no scratch marks
also plot twist tenacity is more you get real quiet and with no miter you recover quick and move pretty fast since some killer perks dont aura read down survivors
That sounds useful only if the killer doesn't see you vaulting
But now that I think about it, it is a goofy way to hide from the killer
But you still don't get the full plot twist value
sadly it works alot more then it should
Lol
Could cut loose be better here instead of qnq?
it could be
wait now that i think about it we havent had any giffting systems added to dbd yet
Small indie devs
i yearn for the day we get a fashion show game mode on dbd and im serious about it
cut loose only works when you double and triple vault
How long does it take for the anti camp to work if I started to camp since hooked?
I know, that's why I mentioned it. It hides the second vault along with dance with me, whereas qnq only hides the first vault making dwm kinda useless if you try to mind game since you'll make noise anyway
What's qnq good for in general anyway? It's useless if the killer sees you but also useless if they don't since there's no reason to be doing a rushed vault
It depends on how close you are at the hook. I believe if you’re standing right in front of a survivor it takes around 15 seconds to fill up the bar, minus the 7 second grace period applied right after being hooked.
Nvm, I didn't know it works on pallets
But dance with me doesn't so eh
Btw does the killer get a notif when an invocation is finished?
they hear the fawoosh, and gain a visible debuff depending on the invocation used
qnq headon deception build
Oh aight, thx
In that case, lightweight and sprint burst sounds like a good combo to get out of the basement quickly
your name is yoshikage kira.
I forgot I had that tbh
When will the killers be half price?
@regal garnet what say you?
Sometime june
during anniversary most likely
Tho i do not know if its half the price
that works gl
Thanks, tho I'm still waiting on anni to get sable lol
Every original is half price and almost every licence is 30-50% off
Also what would be the best perk to go with otr?
I'd use the locker perk that comes with the alien survivor
ok yeah yeah ive never looked at it since i have no one left to buy
is grim embrace+DMS a good combo/does grim embrace trigger DMS after the 10 seconds?
Oof, any others? I missed it from the shrine thinking it's meh but I already got both xeno and chem trap from the shrine so I don't really wanna buy ripley
Good ole self care or sables self care always works
Self care while being broken from both weaving spiders and no mither?
yeah, and people who play this game troll and lie to each other
you might as well run resilience since you're gonna be injured the whole game
permanent 9% boost to basically everything
True
Is there an easy way to reveal people for 800 seconds
Plague with Iridescent Incense, got it done in 2 trials
Add-ons count for it?
Would T1 mirror Myers also be a good fit?
Any aura sources count for it
Is it a killer only challenge?
Yes
When is nemesis coming back
He is due to be fixed in hotfix 1, which should be coming tomorrow, may 15th
best perks for wraith?
Alr that's tomorrow I've heard his tentacle is good
Why are the hitboks for killlers soo big
$hitbox
that's just the way they are for balance reasons
Also when im on the other side of the window
Latency does that
What’s your ping?
28
bamboozle
you can be hit through windows if youre right next to them
ohh arigh ty
Would ghostface be kinda boring to play I got him yesterday thinking I was gonna have some fun (I didn't even tho it was a 3k game)
Fun is subjective
Ghostie relies on his stealth and being unseen by survivors
depends on what you consider fun
He's fun once you get the hang of it but gets quickly boring in high skill matches bc of how little you can do
any new codes?
No
Codes aren't really a thing anymore
is there any daily freebes
They've mostly been replaced with the weekly shop gift
Codes only really exist during events like anniversary or Halloween
when is the anniversary?
Mid/Late June in the past.
Though it also occasionally happens in early June
is 2v8 tomorrow?
No official date on 2v8
Hey, what are you supposed to do when a killer is hanging out in front of a hooked person and refuses to take chase? I just got called a gamer word for not somehow rescuing them out of that situation because I just didn't know how.
You don't. You need 2 people for that
And depending on where the hook is or who the killer is. You don't even attempt it
It was vs an Executioner that I've never even seen before who bullied us all game. The hook was all the way across the map from the exit. There was two of us, but the other person didn't want to get any closer either and I was injured already.
Made the correct play by leaving then
It did feel pretty bad leaving them there. It was the other person there with me who was being not so nice though, is the thing. I guess they expected me to go in? I had two hook states already, they had none.
You were injured you wouldve went down before even being able to unhook anyway
But, that makes me wonder, is it just expected for you to go in and attempt a rescue no matter what, or is it okay to leave? I don't mind trying, but I can't see either of us getting out alive in a lot of situations.
its okay to leave if you cant save for x reason
If a killer is staying very close to a hook, the correct counterplay is to ignore the hook and focus generators. The survivor on the hook will be able to unhook themselves if the killer is close enough
Oh, no, the exit was already open at that point, there was no more gens.
Be it everyone's injured
Killer has noed
Hook is WAYYY too far
Basement hook againsr Trickster/Huntress/Trapper
Bubba
@primal folio this is under the assumption of it being end game
ah, at that point it's do or die. gotta decide when to cut your losses
They chose to let the entity take them instead of even trying to unhook, I suppose they expected to just get cut down again anyway.
Was it their first time being hooked?
No, they were in the second phase, but you can unhook from that as well if the yellow bar fills up, can't you?
Right - but not after the last gen is done.
That disables when all gens are done
Any advice on how I can improve with Kaneki? 😭
Oh, I see. Yeah, that just sucks for everyone involved then. So is that a common strategy for killers? Camp the last hook?
i mean if its endgame they cant do much else
Yes. Thats why the anti face camp is disabled in end game
To allow the killer a chance of one last kill
Situational, but broadly speaking yes. Killers should be allowed to try and secure at least 1 kill by endgame if they don't have one already.
if you don't have a kill by endgame its all you really can do
I mean, that's fine, they deserve something if they put in the work. But how do you rescue someone in this situation? One takes a hit, the other unhooks?
Usually but as said before, there are situations in which you cant really save
At least not without someone else going down
Ideally...
Surv #1 is on hook
You and surv #3 are both healthy and run in
Surv #3 takes a hit while you are unhooking
You take a hit while surv #1 is running away to cover them
Everybody escapes while injured
someone can take the hit when they grab and use the speed boost to run while someone else unhooks if you have 2 ppl
if ur solo though its pure chance a random will even attempt this
You said that the hook was on tbe other side of the map
With only 2 people able to save. Someone is going to die
For faraway hooks you NEED all 4 survivors alive for survivor #4 to take a prot hit while everyone is running back to the gate
And even then. This isn't accounting for who the killer even is. There are some killers where end game saves are flat out impossible against
Ah, that's just unfortunate for them then. Which killers are the problematic ones I shouldn't even attempt this against?
its situational but yeah, where the utility of duty of care can come in
Bubba, Billy, Huntress, Trickster
If Basement
Trapper. Huntress. Trickster.
In general
Bubba. Billy. Slinger (Iri Coin addon).
Its really the insta down killers you cant save against
theres def more but i cant remember them all
Why specifically the last two? Isn't there other ranged killers as well?
it gets dicier if they have stbfl also
Huntress: Her recovery is too fast
Trickster: Main event shreds endurance and body blocking.
window to pull off is that much smaller
bc they have high DPS (damage per second) and excel in dealing with multiple survivors
I see! Yikes, this game just gets more complicated by the match. So far I've regretted it almost every time I tried to help once the gate is open. (Not that I make it that far all that often, that is)
also huntress is even more impossible to save against if she has iri head
Altruism is the strongest killer perk, it's true
Endgame saves are tricky and need some good coordination with your team
Okay, so in solo queue, it's probably not worth attempting in the first place?
And other times. Flat out impossible
Seriously. Stop saving against a face camping bubba you're giving him FREE KILLS!!
Depends on the state of the game and what your teammates are doing, I can't give a blanket "yes always do this" kinda thing
Yeah, you're right, that is true. It still feels really bad just leaving people behind that could've had a chance though.
its too situation specific for us to say yes or no
Easier to identifiy impossible situations. Every other situation needs to be broken down and examined
basement ghostface is also one you cant save against
Anyone with an insta-down, or if NOED is up.
Saving versus those situatons are extremely difficult
How do I know if someone can instantly down someone?
tbf for insta downs its gonna depend on where the hook is, you can save against ghostface but not in basement
You'd know by that point in the game based off what the killer was doing
Chainsaw killers are always insta-down killers. Other examples could be Huntress with her Iridescent Head addons, allowing 1 hatchet to instantly down
yeah thats just game knowledge that comes pretty quick, just knowing what killer powers do
I noticed that pretty quickly getting sniped by that Executioner. I knew he can do some sort of trail, I wasn't aware of him having a ranged attack until I got blasted by that. I've been instantly downed by the Shape before as well.
Whenever you see a skull with a red circle around it on the right side of your screen
Thats the expossd status effect
M1s. Aka Basic attacks. Will insta down you
For Executioner thats just swinging his weapon. Meanwhile his ranged attack won't insta down you
The Shape however, only has basic attacks. So he'll always insta down if you're exposed. (Which is aparf of his power)
So that's what that symbol means! Is anything red on that side bad for me?
usually yes, yellow is good
Yes
Red = Bad
Yellow = Good
Oh wow, that's a lot. I've seen that Cursed one a lot as well. Does that showing up mean the totem is somewhere nearby?
Cursed just means a hex is effecting you in some way. It can be anywhere on the map.
No it just means youre affected by a hex
Could be Ruin is active after you let go of a gen
Wretched Fate/Pentimento is making your gen speed slower
Crowd control blocked a window you vaulted
Etc
for exemple noed would give you both cursed and exposed
Plaything gives both Cursed and Oblivious
I see. So I won't know what hex it is until some sort of effect happens? I'm starting to see why people say this game is hard to get into, it makes less and less sense the more I play. How strange.
Yep. But once you're affected by the hex itself. It'll appear in the top right
Also if you don't notice anything has happened and you randomly get cursed
That's likely Undying revealing your Aura Because you ran by a dull totem
Oh, I see, I don't like that one. I feel like I'm starting to get why it seems to be so easy for killers to track me down with all the ways they can probably straight up see me without my knowledge.
Most aura perks are just
"Ya gotta know when they'd activate"
Did the killer beeline directly to you from the other side of the map after hooking someone? They probably have BBQ & Chili
Did the killer instantly find your hiding place after kicking a gen? They have Nowhere To Hide
Did the killer search a locker, then instantly find you hiding somewhere nearby? That one's Darkness Revealed.
Lots of little patterns like this to learn.
Did the match just load in and a blight or billy is already ontop of you?
Lethal pursuer
Oh yikes, that's awful, no wonder I'm getting killed all the time. How do you even start learning all of these perks?
Experience
Comes with time and memorization. It's a really good idea to look over the endgame screen to see what all players brought, to get a better understanding of what perks/items are commonly ran
it is not beginner friendly at all, don’t feel alone. it took me thousands of hours before i was confident in my ability to play
You'll see specific perks appear much more commonly than others and memorize their function bit by bit
I need to get into the habit of checking, you're right. Is there any way to not have to wait until all the way at the end to see the killer perks?
Nope
Negative, killer info isn't shown until the game ends. That way a player can't die early and feed info to the rest of the team over voice for an advantage.
That is really important, you're right, that'd be super exploitable. Really frustrating if you usually die so early you have many minutes to sit through.
Go on your phone or tab out or smth. As long as dbd doesn't close or you leave the end game screen. It'll be there when ya look back at it
Could also spectate and see what others do in chase and see what mistakes/correct plays they do, and learn from them
I have a question about the cross-platform linking. I mainly play on my PS5 but recently ive been playing on PC. If I buy the Stranger Things DLC pack on Steam will the cross-platform link allow my to use that pack on PS5?
Yes
Is there anything specific I need to do to get the accounts to update or is it an automatic process?
If you already have cross progression set up, it'll be automatic.
Thanks!
Yeah, things aren't going well. I don't think I've really ever gotten actual value out of Sprint Burst, and I don't have any other exhaustion perks. Is Iron Will an alternative? Just how well can a killer hear an injured person?
Usually having 1 exhaustion perk of some kind is a good idea, but I wouldn't say it's a requirement. If you have Feng unlocked, Lithe is a great replacement for Sprint Burst and activates more easily as well.
Yes, injured survivors are very audible to the killer, especially if the player has headphones. Some survivors are louder and more noticable than others.
Lithe does sound much more controllable, but I don't really want to spend any more shards until that sale. I'm currently using Kindred, Bond, Windows and Sprint Burst and I'm just really not happy with my loadout.
Nice build
You could try something like... Kindred, We'll Make It, Windows, and Adrenaline or Hope if you wanted something slightly different.
I do like the idea of Adrenaline and Hope, I hovered over both quite a few times already. Trouble is that I make it to the endgame maybe once in ten games, at best.
You mentioned having trouble in endgame - Adrenaline and Hope both directly help there
But yeah, that's the tradeoff, is that they're completely dead perk slots until endgame.
How much value do you get out of We'll Make It in solo queue? Most people I get off of hooks just dash off immediately, never to be seen again.
I get loads of value out of WMI, I usually get at least 1 or 2 heals off with it in a normal game. More if circumstances line up well.
If you have WMI and unhook someone, the person who got off the hook is notified that you have the perk. They get a little status popup
As long as the other survivor is paying attention, knows what the perk does, and the killer isn't close, it's a free heal under the hook
Oh, is that the yellow and blue diamond shaped icons that sometimes show up near the bottom of the screen? I've no clue what they mean when they pop up, but they're there sometimes.
Yikes, so does that mean that a decent player is expected to just know perks by their icon? That's wild.
Im wondering if i should buy the alien chapter just for the acid trap perk itself, is it worth it? And if not what chapters should i buy?
Yes, and most of us do know the perks by icons actually
Chemical Trap is more in the fun category than practical. The killer sees your animation of placing the trap, and they can see the trap on the pallet directly.
But it does have uses on strong pallets, like killer shack to buy you even more distance.
Im an old player that just came back from a long break, lots of new stuff
That's super interesting and really scary to know. I think I'll give this perk a try, thank you!
is undying or pentimento a better perk for keeping other hex perks on for longer?
Undying for sure. Pentimento isn't meant to keep other hexes alive; you replace hexes with it
Does anyone knows if is this a bug or it actually is meant to be that Rift is no longer progressing with trials played?
You do still gain rift fragments as you level up your account, this hasn't changed.
Ah, as i level up account, not every game ;O Thanks, that bothered me for last few days
Correct, it's per every 500XP milestone if I recall correctly?
Might be 1000XP. But not every single game.
Hmm, in that case i should have just get a tiny progress i think? i did just level up and im at 321/3750 xp. but my rift is 45/100 since multiple rounds already O.o
Is force bleeding out survivors bannable? I know that it gives you no rank due to nullification of rank score, but is it considered holding the game hostage? I got downed by this doctor, and then he didn’t hook, he just sat on my body, when I recovered to 98% and then got healed, teammates body blocked but I still got downed, repeated two more times until I bled out. I spectated and he repeated it for the next 2 survivors and then last survivor got hatch…? Like what was the point
ill pay close attention to see if my rift goes any higher once i get next account level then
Bleeding out is not bannable, no
But how is it enjoyable for literally anyone involved, I love spending the 4minutes just crawling around bleeding out because teammates can’t pick me up and he was specifically bleeding out one by one to prevent the abandon mechanic
So you're saying there was a point where 1 survivor was bleeding for 4 minutes while the other 3 were not
then the next survivor was bleeding for 4 minutes while the other 2 were not?
Yes 😭
How in the world did your team not complete gens in that time?
That's an incredibly easy 3-out by the sounds of it
The Claudette was the only one going gens while Leon and Feng were trying to prevent the bleed out, when I died 2 gens were done, when Feng died all 5 were done but then he was holding Leon bleeding out
Big misplay by the sounds of it, your team went to the slug to try and combat it instead of pulling the killer away for an easy pickup
Could anyone help me make a surv build with the perks I have. I have 200+ hours but still struggle a little

Thx
Another generalist build is Inner Strength (can’t always rely on teammates for heals), Deja vu (combat 3 gen and the 6% speed increase), we’ll make it for faster off hook heals and 4th is a flex option for Bond/Lithe/Windows/Adrenaline for whatever area you’re lacking in (comms, pathing, knowledge of map structure)
pls i get tunneled out every game what should i run w so they dont want me
I usually run with lithe, windows of opportunity, lightweight and hope is this good ?
Head on, Decisive Strike, Off the record and Dead hard 😭 you can take 3 hits off hook, but if you’re solo queue replace head on with unbreakable/no mother so you don’t get slugged
I js need help being good at this game period😭🙏
i think head on will work as it not slugging... just ALWAYS after me
Ye the idea is you go into a locker, let them grab you so they think you don’t have Head on and activate DS. Then you run back into the locker and stun them with head on which gives you distance. You then should still have a little bit of time left for OTR, which further wastes time, and if not dead hard
Just remember you can’t DH if in deep wound 😞
nono i know i love my DH
I can never time it 😭
omgg once they know i have it they wait till i use it too early
Is champion of light worth it on a looping build? Or should i make a build surrounding it
can someone help with oni perks? because i feel like i get zero gen regression and no value from sloppy butcher
Do we have any idea when nemesis will be back ingame?
Currently slated for tomorrow's hotfix
Amazing, thank you!
is Bond perk good in solo queue? I wanna combine it with open handed and kindred
lowk no cus ur team will run to u in chase anyways so
Very, because one of the things you can't coordinate in SoloQ is where to take chase. With Bond, you can see where your teammates are working on gens so you know where NOT to run. Kindred + Open Handed is a strong combination as well, as it benefits the entire team when you're hooked.
Guys quick question and I want your opinions. Its 2025 should we still 99 gates or not? Why or Why Not?
It’s a pretty good perk in my opinion. You can definitely get value in chase especially if you need some distance to reach the next window or a pallet. I used it to make saves more meaningful. For example I’d get a flashbang save on someone and if they are being tunneled, they’ll have more distance to work with. I hope this helps.
Different scenarios require different actions. If you’re going for the save with enough people make sure to pre-open the gate.
depends on a lot of things tbh but most certainly open it and go for bodyblock
yes, its a very good solo queue perk, and kindred + bond + windows + visionary can be a fun to run solo queue build
depends but most of the time just open gates unless signs start pointing to bloodwarden
What perks/addons should I use with Wesker? I personally like 3 genning cuz of his speed
So just how good is "bp inflation" does that apply to only events giving you more bp or general gameplay?
only thing this affects is general grinding speed and how sad it is after an event
damn, well when's the next event is it just anni?
mhm
but isn't 2v8 supposed to be soon?
Whars the one perk that makes it so if youre grabbed out a locker, you have to complete a skill check and youll get dropped
decisive strike
the next confirmed one is
decisive strike
does Do No Harm work well with No One Left Behind ?
Healing speeds stack yes.
Though anything above 100% has deminishing returns
100% is a 8 second heal
200% is a 5 second heal
300% is a 4 second heal
If you use a med kit would that go even faster? O,o
...Yes its more healing speed
Woah so like all of those things together would be like an insta heal
No. Do No Harm. Wglf. And a Purple medkit is only +250% MAX
So about a 4.5 second heal
Oooh okay
W or L build for blight
• Add ons: Iridesecent Vile and Vigos Journal
• Grim Embrace
• HEX: Undying
• HEX: Plaything
• Pop go’s the wiesel
Vigos Journal is the... Undetectable one? Pretty awful addon
Undying has no use here since its only with Plaything. Which also makes Vigos Journal even more useless
Makes you undetectable wheb dashing
Yeah pretty awful addon.... probably one of his worst addons
really? Why?
Otz says its good. But it just doesn't help much in my eyes
Blights loud while rushing, plus it only helps when going around the map and not when in chase
Also Plaything makes Vigos Journal redundant in that build
How would I cheese the achievement 'Hemophobia'?
Ive heard No Mither could work
No Mither immediately makes you unable to get the achievement
You just gotta rat and hatch escape
Plaything only activates when a survivor gets hooked, the journal allows me to get the rest of my plaything
Okay well thats my opinion on the build
Also Undying is useless in that build
why?
🥲 ill just pray for an afk killer
It makes it so its always the first hex cleansed. Thats good for stuff like Blood Favor, Crowd Control, Ruin
Stuff that actually needs to be protected. Not Plaything. Plaything is on the weaker side of hexes
bring annotated or vigos blueprint
should I run pentimento or leave the plaything totems un protected then
I'd probably ask one of the blight specialists from this list #game-tutorials message
They'd be able to see what really fits with the build more
Also the one reason I run the vigos is so I can get cross map rushes, the vile allows me to rush 11% more
@rugged berry ty for the advice tho
My game crashed 3 times last night when playing the pig specifically her no one else on ps5 Is there any reason why?? I get error code CE-108255-1 every time
Reasearch error code CE-108255-1
Yea I’m trying all that now. It sucks. This game is broken with like every killer
They had to disable nemesis 🥀🥀
2v8 is out tmrrw?
That Assassins creed collab. Do we get anything in DBD?
We don’t have any info on this
fr?
Yeah may 15
Well you answered your own question
W, pairing up with my buddy, we finna run trapper and blight
I’ll get to play all day friday since it my b-day🎉
Why r you playing all day on yohr bday. Shouldnt you go do smth
should i be worried if the game cant read my cloud data
What about this Madous? It’s not on the roadmap but it’s official?
#media message
No. That happens sometimes but no progress will be lost.
just worked when i rebooted thanks
Because it isn't something in DBD
It's in AC Shadows
could we please have the Y10 roadmap too
Still waiting on a clean one without an ad in the corner, which hasn't been posted
curse this 30 second slowmode timer 
Oh how about that
ty
I'm confused....what is Asassins Creed giving us?
In DBD? Nothing announced currently
I'm guessing it's only content in AC Shadows
They just posted on insta and it looks like a killer skin
@primal folio I did check what you told me before, I tested it twice already today - it doesnt work, Rift is not progressing at all from account level up
Looks like an Oni skin
That would appear to be Oni in Shadows
I cant paste screenshots here but my rift is stuck at Tier63 with 45/100 and only progress with 3 daily rituals, nothing more.
All the data I have says you should get 5 rift fragments every 500XP earned
If it isn't, see below:

Wesker is very strong but advanced techs are among the hardest to master (and use consistantly during the game)
Thanks, will go there
What type of builds are the best for plague??
Idk about a whole build for her but I’ve seen that infectious fright is really good for her
Some one tell me how the current off the record work
Does anyone know what time will the next 2v8 release?
Whats good on plague is good on every killer. these meta perks consist of; dead man's switch (from deathslinger), pain reasonance (from artist), grim embrace (from artist), and corrupt intervention (from plague).
may 15th
Tomorrow, noon EST
What time, not what day.
Bro i read that already i need someone to explain to me further
@meager flower
Yes, I saw that.
What part don't you get? 80s of endurance, no grunts of pain, and no blood after you get unhooked
so what is ur question for
The version im reading on wiki said no conscipicious actions for 80 sec or cancel effect but ig desc doesnt have that so can i repair a gen and still keep the effect
Anyone else’s survivor just losing their pants?
Is this part of the update? 😂
You lose the endurance if you touch a gen, hook, totem, chest, or heal another survivor
You keep the other effects for the full 80 seconds
It's because OTR doesn't deactivate on conspicuous action, only the endurance because that's a thing about endurance not OTR
Oh i see so even tho it is not written ig it is part of the endurance mechanism so i still cant touch a gen oof
Also i got another question
Since every survivor gets like 10 sec of invincibility when off the hook can this effect stack with off the record
The 80s replaces the 10s unlike borrowed time or no one left behind which extends it
heres my build
basically you infect gens and totems at start, they cant do them without getting infected, u dont use green puke on survivors only red, they basically either spend whole match injured or u get red puke constantly and they still become injured from contagious gens anyway, and fury helps a lot in ending chases, corrupt allows you to infect gens easier at start, surge and resonance is for slowdown constantly
I see so from 10 to 80 wow
Tips for twins? The biggest weakness I'm seeing is that she takes a lot to catch up against good survivors
Can anybody help me with this? is this a cheater? I have 44 ping
Nope, just a wicked lag spike on either your end or their end.
When a survivor runs in 1 direction for several seconds, doesn't do anything else, and suddenly poofs away, that's a network issue.
I have 3 other video when this happened is that a lagswitch?
I can't say that for sure
It's impossible to tell the difference between that and just a poor network
is it possible to report someone racist in chat?
To report players, you must use the in-game report system. Additional evidence can be sent in through a support ticket: https://support.deadbydaylight.com/

Never let victor die, being crushed on someone's back is fine, that's a 10s cooldown, but the long 25s cooldown from idling or missing is a big no. Though there are occasional exceptions like putting a survivor in the dying state which gets you kicked which can be worth it.
-
Victor will probably be both your first and second hit on survivor, you want to find someone as victor out of chase, hit them, catch up as charlotte, by the time that happens recall victor, unbind him again, and get the down
No, thats seems more like a lag spike in the server than a cheater
Told my mom I just wanna stay home and go to outback
hy the same way😂 getting older is nun to celebrate for besides like your 16th
Is Before the Masquerade a bloodmoon event? Is that how people get those 100% bloodpoint offering cakes and such
rate build for legion
Hex ruin
Corrupt intervention
Deathbound
Dissolution
I hate it when this happens but no
No, it's just a lead-up to the actual event sometime in June
So does that mean sometime in June I will be able to get the cake offerings?
Masquerade itself. Aka anniversary. Gives is the cake offerings
ohhh ok thanks
Oh I am glad that survivors get this benefit!
I wanna get free injures cross map in that case!
Lag spikes go both ways
Not getting out of chase in a key moment ways
hi should i get zarina or the plague i play a bit of both survivor and killer
Does Chucky still have the tech where he flicks b4 he vaults the window
Either, they're both great
