[livid falcon]

what perks can i run on wesker that arent from qny other licensed killer

[agile frost]

Hell nah

[agile frost]

The Coup perk from twins

[orchid sparrow]

Never. Unless you know the killer is on the other side of the map and you have perks like Do No Harm or We’ll Make It

[peak token]

iron will, fast track, windows, resilience

any suggestions to replace resilience? dont talk to me about fast track ill die on the hill

[north saddle]

Lucky break cuz think about it u leave no pools of blood and scratch marks from lucky break and ur silent from iron will

[peak token]

maybe. was also thinking breakdown. do you have any more ideas?

[north saddle]

Besides that I think it could be a free perk slot

Just practice imo u will eventually be able to hit them and eventually start mastering how to hit great skill checks

Perks that can help:
Technician
Corrective action

[sudden acorn]

Close your eyes and click randomly when you hear the skill check sound

[uncut wren]

Can someone help me? please

[sudden acorn]

With what?

[uncut wren]

basically i just bought dbd, and when i open it theres a error "Game version is invalid" i tried reinstalling it etc. but it still doesnt work

[sudden acorn]

Have you tried verifying the game files?

[uncut wren]

yes, many times

i just installed the game today. i guess i have the newest version

i did it today. it didn't work

[cerulean kiln]

Does still sight work while repairing generator/healing others?

[rich temple]

should i get dracula and nicolas cage
i play spirit and pyramid head often so i thought dracula would be cool to buy but i fear he would be even more difficult than both of them 💔

[wild hedge]

can phantom fear trigger while youre undetectable?

[coarse ridge]

yes sadly or not

[peak token]

run repairs on eac file

[primal folio]

No

[gray wind]

Yall I need help wtih fun builds, come with suggestions pelase 😭

[uncut wren]

i did many times bro

[peak token]

on the eac file? you have to do it specifically

[tepid sequoia]

Survivor or killer?

[cerulean kiln]

even when you're undetectable you still have invisible terror radius iirc (some perk/killer skill depend on this)

[uncut wren]

wdym specifically

[gray wind]

killer

[peak token]

you gotta go into your file system and find easy anti cheat and youcan run repair on it

[tepid sequoia]

Specific or any killer? @gray wind

[cerulean kiln]

Does "Still Sight" work while doing conspicous actions (repairing gens, healing others)?

[tepid sequoia]

No. But it does work while using bardic

[uncut wren]

u mean on EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup?

[silver shard]

Good chucky build ?

[peak token]

what file type is it?

[uncut wren]

application, .exe i think

[peak token]

try it, im not sure as im in a game and not giving my full attention

you just right click it and click repair

[uncut wren]

i dont have there a option repair

[peak token]

might be the wrong file then

[oblique olive]

BEST KILLER FOR INSIDIOUS?

[uncut wren]

i did something and now i get launch error

[warped jasper]

bubba
make sure to camp in the basement with it

[exotic escarp]

having trouble finding online ideas for this - any thoughts on what should be included in an aura build for Knight?

[true ridge]

why did they change streetwork?

[raw oriole]

the offering that darkens the mist, is it basically lowering gamma?

the offering that darkens the mist, is it basically lowering gamma?

[primal folio]

No, it causes dark clouds of fog to be added to the map

[raw oriole]

can i lower gamma or make the game darker as killer? I wanna jumpscare

[primal folio]

Not as a perk, but as a killer you can

Dredge does this as part of his power

[fallow sparrow]

why is my dead hard not working after getting hooked? like i dont even get the promt

[primal folio]

You must be:
Injured
Running
Not exhausted

[fallow sparrow]

oh alr didnt know i had to be injured

[oblique olive]

Alr alr

[true ridge]

why did they change streetwork

[fast ledge]

Hello, does anyone know, when is Krause release date?

[true ridge]

dat a new killer?

[tepid sequoia]

There's a lot of different aura perks you can use, but I imagine gen info is the best on knight

[peak token]

crimson would you use iron will or calm spirit?

[fast ledge]

Yes

[primal folio]

Tuesday

[fast ledge]

Thank you

[true ridge]

what can he do?

[tepid sequoia]

Neither

[peak token]

lmao

[copper glen]

@late stump 🚫➡️ Your message content contains flagged text

[stuck pumice]

why cant i spectate anymore

[primal folio]

Custom game spectating should work fine to my knowledge

What is happening specifically?

[stuck pumice]

not custom game spectate, the normal spectate after you die
that used to be a thing, did it get removed

[primal folio]

Oh, not sure, that wasn't removed.

[stuck reef]

is there a way to know if someone is hacking or not? some players feel suspiciously fast

[stuck pumice]

theres a lot of haste addons and perks
a hacker will be pretty obvious

[primal folio]

Cheaters almost never just "do one little small thing". They're gonna go all out and fly across the map at mach 12.
It's very very likely to just be a perk or effect or bug that you haven't seen before

[fiery reef]

you can check at the endgame see what perks they had

[stuck reef]

i see, ty

[primal folio]

For reference, I have 1400 hours and ran into cheaters maybe... 5 times? Ever? Definitely not common

[stuck pumice]

np

[stuck pumice]

dang ive ran into loads of subtle ones.. i think i got like 50 ppl banned so far 😭

survivors are more likely to cheat than killers btw

[delicate bough]

The 23rd, which would be Tuesday

So if your gonna grind blood points now would be the time to do so

[spring dust]

are they gonna ever fix nurse blink on 2nd floor maps because it feels terrible

[stuck pumice]

wdym

[fiery reef]

what about 2v8 btw is it like once in a month now?

[spring dust]

like say im on 2nd floor of jigsaw map and i wanna blink forward and it'll put me under

[stuck pumice]

hold it longer or look up v

[hushed tendon]

you gotta look fully upwards as though you want to go to a mythical third floor

[spring dust]

thats what i did and still goes under and it was bad on underground complex

[gray wind]

any killer

[hushed tendon]

It might help to go into a custom with the brown rangefinder addon to see what the angle is. Its not well done

[delicate bough]

What would be considered demos best add-ons?

[silver shard]

Good chucky build ?

[spring dust]

like i was also in a room where i couldn't get to a hook in time bc nurse speed and hook was too far so that was a unkillable zone and blink was messy as hell

[vagrant cove]

Okay, what are the best perks asides from Reassurance that I can use to help someone who's being tunneled, I'm seeing it wayyy to much in every single match

[spring dust]

like i play a lot of nurse games but its just map collision is goofy sometimes with it

[hushed tendon]

Borrowed time and Shoulder the burden could help

[vagrant cove]

atp I gotta do something about it cause holy moly there is not a single game where someone is not being tunneled atp 😭

[fiery reef]

Barbs glasses and blackheart for shred

[delicate bough]

Right because it seems shred is his most prominent. My add-ons I usually run are around his portals

[fiery reef]

well ofc glasses and blackheart is a combo u should use if u dont use the portals much

[delicate bough]

I usually run the purple mushrooms and iridescent moss since those are the two that increase the duration of undetectable after you teleport. I like it for being able to move around while being sneaky

[fiery reef]

Yeah that would be the best combo for portals. the portals are so unused from demo players ive experienced so far i think it can save your game most of the time especially with the iri moss

[delicate bough]

Since the moss makes it so survivors don’t hear when you go into a portal + the extended undetectable I find it allows for very easy sneak attacks

But I will try that shred combo

[fiery reef]

But honestly if u have pyramide head i would rather equip trail of torment

i even had some graps on gens cuz of it even without using portals

[fiery reef]

and ofc its not only good for attacking survivors its also a pallet break combo

[bronze juniper]

How viable would Bubba Play with your food + Infectious Fright + Iron Maiden + BBQ be? In theory i feel like would allow for crazy snowball potential by sacrificing gens since you use no gen slowdown

[primal folio]

I would drop PWYF for something with a more reliable haste bonus. Dropping chase with your obsession over and over to keep maintaining your stacks eats too much of your time when you could simply down them instead

If Haste bubba is the play, try something like Batteries Included or Machine Learning

[bronze juniper]

Yeah i was thinking play with your food to build big snowballs, get max stack and then try to got for a 3 man slug at least

[primal folio]

I see the vision, but that does also depend on you getting hits with Infectious

If they're spread out, your power spike falls flat.

[bronze juniper]

That could work too tbh i just worry about being RNG on survivors happen to run by repaired generators

[old juniper]

not many survivors use lockers against bubba (I find)

[zinc dragon]

I cant find the right build for my gunslinger jake

[primal folio]

The range on Batteries is larger than it seems, and remember that if you get to endgame, ALL gens count as complete

[bronze juniper]

Thats fair too, i was trying to find a way to get Bubba to be able to get more than 1 down when they spread but outsise infectious couldnt think something else

[high dragon]

Batteries S tier🥶🥶

[winged shell]

whoever made eerie of crows musta been on every sortadrug

[bronze juniper]

Thats true too

[high dragon]

REAL

[winged shell]

eerie of crows was made 10 pints deep and the nostrils covered in sugar

[zinc dragon]

its the entities blood

[high dragon]

delete eerie if crows

[opaque knot]

how do u trigger finesse?

[primal folio]

Simply be healthy and fast vault.

[opaque knot]

Oh it has to be fast vault, i'm removing it then lmao

[flint kindle]

Yeah it's a chase perk

[high dragon]

Yes finesse overrated as frig

[opaque knot]

i bought lara thinking it was with the medium vault too, disappointed

Thank you for answering tho!

[still badge]

when does the update with the myers rework comes out?

[primal folio]

Tuesday

[still badge]

thanks

[subtle tiger]

i was wondering what 4 perks would be good for a beginner survivor

[peak token]

what character you playing?

[unkempt smelt]

Bond Open Handed Kindred Lithe

Deja Vu, Kindred, We'll Make It, Lithe

[simple plover]

Prove thyself is also worth considering

[winged shell]

this game pisses me off sometimes why do i gotta avoid c - d tier killers when survs can run random bs and still have an edge

[tepid sequoia]

my favorite general killer builds are a scream build: infectious, monitor n abuse, ftd, deathbound/phantom fear
scourge hook build: jagged compass, floods of rage, weeping wounds, any 4th
trail of torment build: tot, thrilling tremors, some combination of dragon's grip/nth/brutal

[tepid sequoia]

stop worrying about tiers and life becomes much better

[winged shell]

yeah but like tryina play demo vs a swf is just 😭
they could bring the most ass perks and still have an edge

[tepid sequoia]

demo is not that bad, he's decent

[winged shell]

i had a swf clense every single portal i hid like 10m from gennys the second i activated one sh was gone 😭

[tepid sequoia]

if you notice someone constantly following you disabling portals, firstly that's a person less not on gens, second you can camp them

[delicate bough]

So I just did two games with this combo, overall pretty good, both were 3ks

[winged shell]

nah like they'd sit near my tps in a locker near a gen. when i left he'd go for it

[delicate bough]

When it comes to demogorgan shred will be your saving grace, portals are mainly just for getting around quicker, granted I found running the iri moss and purple mushrooms are good for sneak attacks

[solemn talon]

What character has stakeout

[delicate bough]

Ted the detective, survivor that comes with the saw chapter

[solemn talon]

Is it monuy

[delicate bough]

Since he is licensed yes you can only get him with auric cells

[jagged kelp]

i got 2 maps in a row i cant find basement i got the meat place and the cowboy place

[delicate bough]

Well keep in mind the basement will switch between 2-3 designated places.

[jagged kelp]

where

i ofund what i think was the killer shack on cowboy but no basement

[delicate bough]

It varies, if they aren’t in shacks then they’ll most likely be below other stair cases or the center buildings

[solemn talon]

yes

[lost kiln]

please dont diss me, but how do you get the laser bears victory polo cosmetic for feng min?

[sudden flax]

its free

[hushed tendon]

It was given out to everyone for free in like 2019. I think you still get it for free on a new account but im not sure

[trim moss]

so what’s going on with switch right now😔

[lost kiln]

okok tysm

[shrewd creek]

for gideons, it’s always gonna be in the back where the bathrooms are with the double pallets (bathroom where the gen is by the door)

for dead dawg saloon, it’s either going to be in shack or it’s going to be at main under the upstairs window

[fallow zenith]

Please never use the switch to play this game

[zinc dragon]

whats happening with the switch

[rigid holly]

is dbd down ?

[hushed tendon]

Nintendo is doing Nintendo stuff and so patches are delayed and bundled together now

[zinc dragon]

yikes

[fair axle]

Whats a good killer build and killer to match it up with to make sure the survivor has a horrible match

[jade elbow]

Best loadouts for Springtrap! (In your opinion)

[vagrant sandal]

nurse + full aura

[zinc dragon]

how to counter unknown?

[jolly rose]

how do i get better at looping and dodging an attack? i am alright at dodging a thrown axe from huntress but is there a way i can get better at it?

[jade elbow]

Best loadouts for Springtrap and tips! <@&253635077693505536>

[fickle grove]

Mindbreaker, BBQ, Lethal, Blood Favor

[jade elbow]

Thanks!

[tepid sequoia]

trapper with insidious, shattered hope, whispers, stridor

[wicked warren]

Who should I main/ p100 first?

[tepid sequoia]

whoever you find most fun

[low moon]

there's only a few acceptable answers

[high dragon]

Whoever you like 👍

[hushed tendon]

Whoever you enjoy the most. P100 is only for swag points so do it on someone you like

[zinc dragon]

trapper

[crystal bay]

Yo guys how do I counter iron will as a spirit

[zinc dragon]

how do you still win against unknown

[tepid sequoia]

look at enviroment interactions

[wicked warren]

I kinda like Nea she’s already p10 but most of her fits are trash😭 I need to find good outfit combos for her tho

[shrewd creek]

it takes time to do this. just listen for survivor breathing, environment (grass moving and shit like that)

[paper yew]

Is bitter murmur good?

[zinc dragon]

so no one knows how to counter unknown

[shrewd creek]

get rid of his tp’s and dodge his uvx

[shrewd creek]

it’s decent. i wouldn’t call it good though, there’s better aura reading perks

[tepid sequoia]

it's decent if you have nothing better

[jolly sphinx]

Look behind to remove the infection for just a moment (the removal goes on for like 2 seconds after you stop, so it's ideal to just trigger it and then look where you're going while it does the work)
Don't stick close to walls when the UVX is available (it can hit through them)

[zinc dragon]

the uvx hits me at a straight line anyway

[wooden geyser]

mindgame like you would do on a nurse kinda but more safe and dont hug walls, if he gets his uvx up go into him if ur close and if ur far away try to be unpredictable and do NOT hug walls, also dont get rid of tp when its up, do it when he s got a cooldown

[elder grotto]

how do i use exhaustion perks efficiently like SB, lithe and drama?

[zinc dragon]

run windows of opportunity and run to the nearest loop with them

[wooden geyser]

use them in chase mostly and try to make as much distance as possible, u will get that just by playing and i dont recommend sb at first because its harder to use imo

[wicked warren]

Can anyone give me main suggestions? I want someone who has a lot of cool cosmetics

[red yew]

do things like knight's iri banner, pinhead's chains or having Victor on you actually stop you from leaving?

If you are being hunted by a guard and you get downed, can't you just crawl out instantly?

[wooden geyser]

thats such a bad advice bro sorry

[elder grotto]

also i keep seeing people say to manage exhaustion so what do they mean by that

[wooden geyser]

surv or killer?

[wicked warren]

Survivor mb

[trim moss]

pls i wanna get a xbox x so bad but life ain’t rlly lifeing rn

[red yew]

If we're talking only free survivors, i'd probably say david king.

[wooden geyser]

yes but not all u mentioned and you can crawl put but theres a small cooldown on gate if im not wrong, on other stuff its longer and there are many exceptions
like theres this addon on springtrap that wont let u leave with axe, or pig trap while its active and more

[wicked warren]

Any survivor free or purchasable

[thorn hull]

were dc penalties changed?

[wooden geyser]

i really like nea, lara, maybe ace or jake? lotta survs have cool cosmetics if u combine them, i can give u a few fits tomorrow

[wicked warren]

That would be great! Thx I need Nea combo suggestions

[red yew]

the difference is springtrap can pick you up with his axe. and pig literally executes you, I think the chains and the guards don't do anything if the survivor just stands at the edge of the gate and emotes.

[wooden geyser]

depends on what perk u have
sometimes its about not using exhaustion while not in chase but usually it means to leave it 99 on sb or even try to walk mid chase to get exhaustion back but those are more complicated stuff

[wooden geyser]

bloody head, iron maiden and some pants from a rift i dont remember the name but thats a fit i really love

[elder grotto]

oh alr so should i just keep using exhaustion perks normally?

[wooden geyser]

well yeah but thats what u asked no? i dont get what u wanna know

[wicked warren]

Bet, thx

[wooden geyser]

if ur new to the game yeah, just try not to use them when ur not in chase and dont play sb

[elder grotto]

alr thanks

[wooden geyser]

dm me and ill send u some fits tomorrow if i dont forget

[wicked warren]

Bet

[hexed mason]

Whats a good tombstone myers build?

[wicked warren]

Alr I dm’d u

[wooden geyser]

im usually help everyone but im not talking to you

[hexed mason]

literally what are you talking about. I'm not directly asking you anyways, bozo. Its just a general question 😭

[hexed gale]

you're all bozos, Trickster is best

[wooden geyser]

just go a vault speed build its funny asf also no reason to be toxic

[hexed mason]

saying "im not talking to you" is weird and can be taken the wrong way ❤️

[wooden geyser]

i got that but its clearly a joke wtf cause tombstone is such a boring playstyle

[high dragon]

agitation

[stiff brook]

any1 down for 1v1s

[zinc dragon]

bamboozle superior anatomy

[hexed mason]

literally just doing it for the achievement but thanks

[hexed mason]

im just curious is it better to like, prioritise gen slowdown or just try to get it done as fast as possible?

[cyan elk]

so how many bloodpoints do i miss out on if i get killed while helping a teammate in endgame? is it better to just abandon them?

[zinc dragon]

I mean for gen slowdown you just need perks

[plush moat]

I recommend waiting until Tuesday when Myers’s rework comes out, making the entire thing much easier

[stuck scarab]

Currently, before any changes come out on Tuesday as NEMo mentioned. I'd recommend running Play with your food, Corrupt Intervention, No Holds Barred, & Fire Up c:

[wooden geyser]

just wait for the rework? it doesnt help u with anything if u do it now

why is everyone choosing to m2 demo while glued to the surv?

[granite ridge]

Slightly faster cooldown iirc

[hexed mason]

I'd like to do it before the rework just for the challenge part ^^ Thanks for the suggestions, everyone

[wooden geyser]

thanks

[stuck scarab]

It comes down to being a math problem, escaping gives you 7k BP (assuming you have room for 7k) in the survival category. An otherwise very hard area to earn BP in. You need to decide if the actions you take during the endgame, will result in more than or equal to 7k BP in the result you die which, imo, is unlikely. This also doesn't account for if you're the obsession which rewards you with another 1.5k bp in the same category
Overall Id say for BP purposes, it's not worth it to gamble for an extra 2k bp, and lose the chance at the 7k guaranteed

[high dragon]

when are the dlc bundles getting discounted again

[tepid sequoia]

that happens relatively frequently, there's no set timing on it

[high dragon]

does it happen when a new chapter releases or just randomly

[earnest scroll]

when there is gonna be the modifier on this month?

[copper niche]

does babysitter and borrowed time work together? (babysitter gives unhooked surv 30s of 10% haste and BT just extends the base endurance and haste from being unhooked by 10s)

[tepid sequoia]

you can look at previous sale dates and make some theories but I consider it random

[spice jackal]

Hey is it better to bring chars up to prestige 3 or lvl em all around the same time? (new to the game so idk)

[spark sierra]

survivor totem builds worth using? (just returned after a long time)

[tepid sequoia]

as in anti hex totem or boons?

[fringe belfry]

this game is easy

[flint kindle]

They probably aren’t that meta if that’s what you’re asking
If you like them you can definitely use them well though

[spark sierra]

mostly boons, but yeah def interested in anti hex totem 2

[true ridge]

how does conviction perk work?

[tepid sequoia]

for boons, circle of healing and shadow step are best, followed by dark theory and exponential, illumination is ass. You can use 2-3 boons + maybe overzealous and/or a totem finding perk

[robust yoke]

When will the Halloween sale be here so Killers and survivors are discounted??

[tepid sequoia]

mid october

[robust yoke]

Okay! Tyy

[tepid sequoia]

as for anti hex, you can run counterforce if you want, but hexes are not that common generally

[restive copper]

i need help

[spark sierra]

so counterforce worth buying the char for ?

[restive copper]

i have 500 auric cells what do i buy

[robust yoke]

What's your playstyle?

[restive copper]

loooping

[robust yoke]

As killer, Do you like pressure or sneak?

[restive copper]

pressure

[robust yoke]

Hmm Have you thought of lich or Wesker

[restive copper]

tbh i want the funnest killer

[tepid sequoia]

jill is worth for resurgence and blast mine alone, if you like counterforce that's just a bonus, but it's kinda meh unless you really like totem hunting

[spark sierra]

mmh yeah im thinking of either jill or like david tapps for his Detective's Hunch or might even go for that overzealous but not quite sure what would be best

[tepid sequoia]

you don't need detective's hunch, use small game, also helps you learn totem spawns in general

[restive copper]

i have a question im new to dbd

and ive seen ppl play like pin head bu he doesnt come up in the killers area im confused on how to ubnlock them guys

[robust yoke]

Hes not available if im correct

[spark sierra]

mmh i see, idk what to add then tbh cuz rn im running small game and circle healing boon, lithe, plunderer\s instinct

[tepid sequoia]

he got removed from the store due to licencing issues

[restive copper]

@robust yoke but there is ppl ive seebn on tt that dont show up here

[robust yoke]

They already bought it before it got removed

[restive copper]

oh

[lost gale]

is there a way to check other peoples dbd stats

[restive copper]

so whos the funnest killer to play

[high dragon]

its very subjective, I suggest you watch some yt videos and pick the killer you like the most

[warped stratus]

หาตี้คนไทย

[restive copper]

imma go for wesker#

[tight plaza]

Is Surge really good? Because everytime I see somebody on Youtube discuss it they comment on how "S-tier" and game-winning it is, but everytime I use it it'll work maybe twice and then never again be helpful because Survivors will just not go down near gens

[high dragon]

good on killers that rely more on their m1 to get downs

[digital raft]

only on m1 killers, cuz well, u m1 most of the time

[tight plaza]

I've been trying it on Wraith to somewhat limited success. Most Survivors just immediately run away from whatever Gen they were working on so I just get no value
Do you perhaps have any other suggestions?

Also I'm just not really sure what to do against Survivors that bring Windows of Oppurtunity since they'll just run to every single pallet on the map, which wouldn't normally be an issue but in this kinda heavy Gen-rush-healing meta we're in that singular chase can cost like 2 generators

And that's assuming I actually down them before I leave chase because it's taking too long.
Its gotten to the point where I'm considering bringing Third Seal or similar Blindness affects but I don't really know how I'd include that in my current build or create one around it

[runic forge]

[spark sierra]

Currently using boon circle of healing, lithe, small game and that chest thing, what would yall suggest (im new to building an totem build so unsure)

[tight plaza]

You to stay out of my Killer games ;-;

[tepid sequoia]

chest thing? plunderer's?

[high dragon]

maybe you can try using eruption if you have it

[spark sierra]

yeah

[sullen meteor]

So i logged on today and my game looks different im not sure if i need to update re shader

[spark sierra]

why

[sullen meteor]

looks like i’m playing on a toaster

[tight plaza]

I don't know how to use it, which I'll admit is a skill issue
I'm just trying to improve

With eruption should I try to go to multiple gens to get the kicking affect or just play like normal?

[sullen meteor]

who u play?

[high dragon]

play normally and kick gens when you got the chance

[tepid sequoia]

side objective: the build lol. I'd swap either lithe or plunderer's for shadow step

[shrewd creek]

theres a wide variety of "totem builds" you can do:

if you want boons: Circle of Healing, Exponential, Shadow Step, Dark Theory (or switch out dark theory for an exhaustion perk if you dont want to use it or have it)
if you want to cleanse: Inner Healing, Overzealous, Counterforce, Small Game (if you dont know totem locations or dont have perks)

if you only have CoH boon, use: lithe, small game and any other perk as youre not gonna be wanting to break totems if you have a boon. also dont use plunderers instinct, use resilience instead and i you dont like being injured, use lightweight or kindred (assuming youre new to the game and dont have perks)

[true ridge]

ok ig everything i say gets ignored

[shrewd creek]

cant even find your last message

[tight plaza]

Is Corrupt Intervention mandatory for Demo or is there a way to setup portals without being gen-rushed?

[spark sierra]

is Yoichi worth buying for the dark theory ?

[shrewd creek]

honest answer, no

[digital raft]

youtube and google exists, not just this server

[shrewd creek]

not really. its surv dependent but corrupt is worth it if youre using portals

[tepid sequoia]

if you plan to use his other perks, maybe, otherwise just for dark theory, no

[digital raft]

his other perks yes, that boon, meh.. unless u wanna pair it up with more haste builds

[spark sierra]

yeah not sure if im gonna use his other perks tbh, so right now my loadout is coh, small game, shadow step, plunderer. and the other char with boons arent worth buying for only their boon perks right?

[tight plaza]

What perks (other than Ruin) are good for map-wide Gen-regression and/or stalling?
Or at least perks that are good for Killers that lack anti-loop?

[eager ridge]

will there be items coming out this upd??

[wraith yoke]

Pain Resonance
Dead Man’s Switch
Grim Embrace

[true ridge]

then what is the point of this channel if u dont help

[wraith yoke]

What was the question?

[true ridge]

how does conviction work? and why did they change streetwise

[digital raft]

its to seek help, not to guarentee an answer

[eager ridge]

?

[digital raft]

i dont know

[digital raft]

after u fully heal someone, the next time u get downed, u can get back up after reaching 25% of recovery progress. but u go down in 30 secs after that and youll be broken the entire time

[finite storm]

Are they ever going to fix Houndmaster's fucking dog or no? Just leave her with a power that doesn't work half the time

[wraith yoke]

They rework/tweak perks that aren’t being used a lot to make them more interesting/stronger hence the Streetwise change.

[shrewd creek]

this is a question none of us can answer because we're not devs

[wraith yoke]

Items that appear in the bloodweb? I don’t think so. Latest addition are Fog Vials. Krasue will have mushrooms you can interact with but that’s about it.

[inland flax]

Use Corrupt intervention, Deadlock, Trail of Torment and Play with Your food. I did it 4 times today and tombstoned all of them in 3 of the games!
Hope that helps 🙂

[tepid sequoia]

for only boons, no

yoichi's other perks are also usable, jonah has overcome which is decent, and alan's only usable perk is champion of light if you're addicted to flashlights

[high dragon]

when will gabriel drop down to 4.5k IS

[tepid sequoia]

also I suggest to not run plunderer's with a boon build, boons are already a deterrent enough, going additionally for chests will make you spend no time on gens. Pick either or

[true ridge]

streetwise was good for gen builds

[tepid sequoia]

It was overshadowed by built to last

[vagrant sandal]

Halloween update. But only for a limited time.

[true ridge]

streetwise now just sucks its now for a chest build

[tepid sequoia]

It doesn't suck, it's just for a chest build

[wraith yoke]

What King Crimson said. You can make other builds with it now. Scavenger or Residual Manifest for example.

[open mason]

IS BBQ and chili still getting nerfed

[rustic carbon]

Theres October event addons if that counts

[dapper willow]

question if a wesker grabs someone and changes elevation does he just let go of a survivor cause I had a game where multiple times I would directly hit them against a wall and they would just get off

[flint kindle]

If they’re fully healed/protected from dying and not critically infected, then the dash will only injure them and infect them

[dapper willow]

No they just got off

[lament ore]

Can someone explain to me how Springtraps doors are supposed to be useful aside from mobility? The undetectable is literally worthless with his loud footsteps.

[flint kindle]

Wdym “got off”
Like off your shoulder when they’re picked up
Or they should’ve entered dying and didn’t
Or what

[dapper willow]

infected didnt injure

it was the swamp map if that changes anything

[high dragon]

their main use is for mobility dawg

[royal mulch]

its not just something for you, its something for the survivors to use against u aswell. and for yo uto catch them offguard and get a grab if they stay in there too long

[stoic river]

buy the p2w skin, fixed

[open mason]

IS BBQ and chili still getting nerfed

[dapper willow]

probably not since they reversed the changes

[spark sierra]

yeah i see what u mean might have to grab him

[tight plaza]

Survivors have to complete five Generators, yet there seem to be more Generators on the map? Is there always one or two more Generators than what need to be completed or is it something else?
Please do clarify this for me.

[dapper willow]

like I would hit a tree directly but instead of injured or downing them they would stay at their health state and just get off

[tepid sequoia]

There's always the goal (usually 5) + 2 gens (so usually 7). If there was only 1 by the end, you can imagine the killer can just camp it lol

[restive wraith]

Does no mither still work when the killer scared a crow you get the aura?

[woven snow]

lucky break says while healthy you gain 1 second duration for each second spent healing a teammate
what does that mean? like does it run out the first time you get injured and then you can regain duration by healing teammates while healthy?

[high dragon]

theres always 2 more gens on the map so the killer doesnt camp the last one

[hollow barn]

Doesnt stop till your healthy again
Once you get hit lucky breaks gonna start counting down

[tepid sequoia]

If you mean if no mither works with trecherous crows, yes, but I recommend that you don't use no mither with invocations

[restive wraith]

Yes I use it with calm spirit so I don’t scare the crow but when the killer scared the crow I didn’t get no aura 💔

[dapper willow]

I would show a clip but I wasn't recording and prior to that game I don't think I have ever had that happen atleast enough times for me to get mad enough to question it

[tepid sequoia]

They could've been undetectable. It prevents aura reads. Or you being oblivious

[woven snow]

I meant like say you consume 60 seconds first time< then you need to be healthy to gain back some duration by healing teammates to make use of it a 2nd time?

[flint kindle]

Given the anti-tunnel changes aren’t happening, there is no reason for BBQ to change

[restive wraith]

Oh you right he had trial of torment and tinker and other 2 I forgot

[hollow barn]

Once you get healed lucky breaks gonna pauses till you get hit again
The one second for every second healing isn’t effected by healing speeds its more beneficial if your healing is debuffed/slowed bc you gain more seconds to lucky breaks timer
Theres unlimited uses in a sense but your maxed out at 60 seconds

[flint kindle]

Imagine whenever you are injured, there is a countdown
You start with 60 seconds on the clock
The countdown does not stop until you are healthy
The countdown can only regain time when you heal others

If you gain time whilst still injured, the countdown will immediately start again

[vocal cradle]

Is there a cheat that a survivor can do where they freeze your game when you pick them up? It only happened with one survivor but it was when I picked her up.. and I couldn't let her go on purpose. She would just fall to the ground at some point and I was free to walk

[thorny pier]

What are the final goals of all the milestone quests?

[high dragon]

should I buy deathslinger or oni

[true ridge]

Residual manifest?

[woven snow]

@hollow barn @flint kindle thanks for the explanation ^^

[pseudo egret]

@vocal cradle probably just bad internet connection on their end causing you to drag

[tepid sequoia]

Wait for the halloween sale and buy both

[hollow barn]

Chat btb says it makes healing regress only by 1% does that effect hemorrhages regression

[high dragon]

when is it

[tepid sequoia]

Mid october

[high dragon]

alright thanks

[pseudo egret]

Im just collecting shard to snatch the new chars out of ptb

[vocal cradle]

They had 60 ping

[wraith yoke]

If you’re good with flashlights. This perk guarantees one from the chest.

[true ridge]

Ah dat no

[pseudo egret]

@vocal cradle decisive strike perk? They may have stunned into a drop

[warm pasture]

Best animatronic builds?

[vocal cradle]

I wasn't getting stunned. They were just freezing my game

[faint sage]

Thinking of running object of obsession for more chases so I can get good.. w plan?

[tepid sequoia]

Yes

[pseudo egret]

Weird probably just a bug this game has a few occasionally@vocal cradle

[lament ore]

I would if doors weren’t put in the worst places. My ass gotta walk a marathon.

[pseudo egret]

Ive gotten stuck inside of trees trying to hide etc def not perfect lol

[tepid sequoia]

Tldr it's not impossible that it's a cheater but not certain

[lament ore]

Plus the stupid flashing screen thing on the doors is stupid. Should not be a thing. Or make it less obvious that he’s coming.

[vocal cradle]

Right

[pseudo egret]

Ive played for years and never actually ran into cheats so its prob just bad luck

[tepid sequoia]

I remember cheats where you couldn't hook people, but this sounds different

[midnight canyon]

yes along with your favorite gen regression perks

[vocal cradle]

I've seen plenty of killers go against cheaters

[pseudo egret]

More likely to be a bug than hacks but always possible

[tepid sequoia]

No, those are all getting delayed

[midnight canyon]

inevitable either way

[tepid sequoia]

Not if they revert the basekit pop and bbq

[pseudo egret]

They realized the were about to make killers completly gutted and delayed for rework

[flint kindle]

They listened to the feedback of people who played the PTB and actually tested the new mechanics
Like
Game devs should

[hasty copper]

I love how they made BBQ basekit but much worse and got rid of the actual effect of BBQ.

[tepid sequoia]

Bhvr do often listen, their issue is that they get into these situations way too often

[deft wolf]

5m bp the max right?

[tepid sequoia]

Lol yeah

[flint kindle]

It is the max you can get from Matches
Other BP sources will bypass it

[hasty copper]

Yes but you can go over if you get bloodpoints not earned from a match, like challenges or the grade reset

[runic quarry]

For the new killer, The Krasue, can anybody tell me whats the downside to survivors being infected?

[hasty copper]

head mode can damage

[pseudo egret]

The 6 hook garbage they were trying to drop would have been giving away gen speedhacks or forcing killer to let them live half the match

[tepid sequoia]

You need to infect them to tier 1 for the head to do damage, and tier 2 gives them broken like plague

[west finch]

Would’ve also made Sadako even more obsolete than she is

[runic quarry]

And how long does broken last? until they eat the fungi?

[turbid solar]

Yo guys!

When you receive a report notification on a following day, does it necessarily mean that they got banned or is doing nothing because they are not guilty also considered to be an "appropriate action"?

[tepid sequoia]

Yep
Also note that you can't speed up the infection from tier 1 to 2 like plague, it's purely passive

[pseudo egret]

I like sadako but winning with her can be a pain lol

[deft wolf]

4 hooks then spam tvs

[runic quarry]

so if they eat the fungi, then you have to do 2 hits again?

[tepid sequoia]

Depends how progressed they were, when they eat it it lowers over time instead of instantly

[pseudo egret]

Killer ques have been a lot better today than usual

[runic quarry]

okay thank you and thank you as well @hasty copper

[primal folio]

Report feedback means something happened to the account you reported. Either a temp ban or full ban.

No feedback = no action

[hasty copper]

Youre welcome

[tepid sequoia]

Tho if by 2 hits you mean they aren't broken as soon as they eat it, not sure but I imagine they stop being broken immediately. You just get some leeway where the head can still do damage

[pseudo egret]

Imma prob be reported several times just for playing anti skillcheck doctor

I was already getting cursed in post game chats

[tepid sequoia]

And also btw the projectile applies tier 1 immediately while the head needs 3 hits

[turbid solar]

Thanks 🙂

[runic quarry]

I meant like, if you have to fully infect a individual survivor all over again if they eat the thing, which probably is the case unless there's addons or something (I'm not sure about, never looked at them) but it seems like a lot to get that ball rolling, but also fair because it's faster movement speed and doesn't seem to have a downside

[tepid sequoia]

Yeah, if they eat a plant, most likely you will have to go through the infection process all over. But that's part of her skill ceiling since you can manipulate plant spawns. Limited number spawns at the start + one every time you enter head mode on the location of the body you leave behind, unless there was a plant there already

[hasty copper]

If you report someone for blantant cheats but you dont play for a couple days and something was done in that time, do you just not see the notification

[primal folio]

It should save the notif for the next time you log in.

[runic quarry]

Ohh I get it now. It's like wesker/nemesis in that sense of plant spawns

[tepid sequoia]

Yeah, more similar to those than plague

[pseudo egret]

The real question is how many times are they gonna nerf our gen regression theyve been on the nerf list constantly lol

They are gonna end up making them all useless then genblocking will be all we have.

[runic quarry]

funny how gen regression is nerfed but they never touch survivor gen perks?

[pseudo egret]

Ik lol

They just gave them another perk to speed up gens to xd

[primal folio]

#game-discussion is better suited to balance talks, as there isn't a 'correct' answer to give here

[compact moth]

When will the dbd update release on other things besides steam

[runic quarry]

sowwy

[primal folio]

All platforms have patches on the same day. Release is on Tuesday

@compact moth

[compact moth]

Thanks a bunch

[hasty copper]

I cant wait. I need to see how 1234 works with Bardic

[dark kraken]

I downloaded a file from a website called (Steam manifest and using Steam DB) i downloaded dbd version 9.0.2 the one spring trap was added to. I thought i could get all DLC's for free which would of been nice but idk. I've tried verifying my files and reinstalling but nothing has worked. if anyone knows a way to get the game back to normal that would be great. If no one knows how to correct it ill just wait for the knew update. Hopefully it fixes it self. For more contexed, when i load my game it says it loads the game version 9.0.2 and I cant do anything but leave the game. If anyone can help me fix this problem that would be lovely.

[primal folio]

We can't help with game mods/file edits/attempting to access free content here.

[hasty copper]

Hmm. I cant say I know how to fix it, but I can say that you shouldnt be downloading things like that. Anything that says you can get a paid thing for free sounds both illegal and probably a scam

[dark kraken]

ik

i can wait for the new update

[hasty copper]

Hopefully it helps and you remember for next time

[dark kraken]

yep

ive got the game downloaded on another pc and i could just copy and paste the files in to my own

if any1 knows how to change patches that would be great

[hasty copper]

I am going to be honest, I dont think anyone can help you here and if they could I think it is against terms of service for both the game and this server

[dark kraken]

ive had the game for like 3years i just messed up on this

[hasty copper]

I do hope it gets fixed

[dark kraken]

thx

[coral otter]

Even if you own the game, it's still technically a form of piracy? What's wrong with the version you own?

[dark kraken]

its on 9.0.2 and i dont know how to change it back on the current one

[coral otter]

Ohhh, so you had the game normally, and then tried downloading a version that had all the dlc free or whatever

[dark kraken]

yep

just want the game back to normal

[coral otter]

Right click dbd and go to updates and try switching automatic updates to immediate. If that doesn't work, you might need to reinstall the game completely. If that still doesn't work, there is another way to change game versions but it's a little more complex

[dark kraken]

k

[coral otter]

And I know you said you reinstalled, but I don't mean like, clicking uninstall in steam and reinstalling. Completely delete it if you can, because verifying and reinstalling won't remove anything added. Sorry, meant to clarify

[dark kraken]

will i have my saves. like all my characters

[coral otter]

Yes
At least you should, everything saves to the server as far as I know

[dark kraken]

how do i do it

[hollow barn]

Does bite the bullet effect hemorrhage regression?

[primal folio]

Negative, anything that says "healing" does not apply to deep wounds/mending.

[hasty copper]

I dont think so because the character does jump back like they do when they miss a skillcheck

[coral otter]

How do you delete the files off your computer? XD

[dark kraken]

im not that great with this stuff

[hasty copper]

Hemorrhage is different from deep wound, though

[primal folio]

Ah right, misread

Hem drains your heal bar when you aren't healing. BtB wouldn't impact this regardless.

[hollow barn]

Oh

[coral otter]

Well probably best to delete the directory of the files you already placed. If it wasn't just the directory that opens when you right click dbd and browse local files

Just that folder is fine probably, im guessing that's what you messed with anyways

[hasty copper]

Doesnt missing a skillcheck cause the bar to deplete a little? Or am I only thinking about when someone lets go?
Like passive deplete

[vague sky]

why does the stat checker just not work?

[solar aspen]

I have a video for sable t bag at me were to report

[coral otter]

Should update every 24 hours iirc

[hasty copper]

You cant, it isnt reportable
I mean you could but it wouldnt do anything

[dark kraken]

Ill just say what i did. I whent onto steam DB and copied the dbd id. then i used a website called Steam manifets to download the files. then using steam tools it auto intalled them into my files and i dont know where they are. @coral otter

[solar aspen]

Why I'm survivor btw

[coral otter]

You report them in the end game lobby, but they prolly wouldn't do anything about it lol

[primal folio]

Right, that's just a normal healing mechanic though, unrelated to Hem

[zinc summit]

Are servers crashing rn?

[hasty copper]

Yeah I worded it wrong. Anyway if someone used Corrective Action and someone else got those weird last second, impossible skill checks right as they left a gen while the killer was nearby, would Corrective action help?

[solar aspen]

I want to take my chances

[coral otter]

Yes

[hasty copper]

It may be deemed toxic but it is just something people do, not really any reason for them to get action taken for it. Wait until killers do their secret Bad Manner move

[primal folio]

Yep it would

[hasty copper]

@coral otter@primal folio Thank you both, good to know. Makes me almost want to run it

[primal folio]

Now here's the real question

[coral otter]

I run it almost all the time in solo queue, it has genuinely saved games lmfao

[solar aspen]

The servers I play on there's not a lot of players hope one I saw her and then noed calls

[dark kraken]

@coral otter should i just uninstall my game and files?

[primal folio]

Does anyone know if Corrective Action will prevent missing a Merciless Storm skillcheck?

[coral otter]

No, it only prevents "normal" skill checks even if they're altered

[hasty copper]

Ooo, I like the way you think. I actually dont know. I want to say no, but I could be a surprise and it is yes

[primal folio]

I thought it wouldn't, yeah, makes sense

[coral otter]

I think it also doesn't stop perks like overchage or oppression as well because they're considered "difficult" skill checks

[hasty copper]

I need someone to check with proof just to be sure

I am too curious

[coral otter]

I run corrective almost religiously so that's the only reason I know about merciless ngl, but im not 100% about overcharge and oppression

I know unnerving and coulro skill checks are countered by corrective though

[hasty copper]

I love to see people using Any Means, Corrective Action and Autodidact. They are my guilty favorite perks

[primal folio]

My line of thought is - Oppression and Overcharge give you a normal skill check, just a hard one

MercStorm gives you a special MercStorm check, so it doesn't apply

So it should work i believe

[hasty copper]

Ahem, custom, maybe?

Knock out all three in one go

[coral otter]

Merc storm defo doesn't work, so no quarter probably also doesnt work

[solid beacon]

Just got Artist, should I be pairing Pain Res and Dark Embrace with Pop?

[primal folio]

Pain Res is usually enough regression itself in my experience, but that's your call

[stoic river]

you can run pain res pop, but no grim
or pain res grim no pop

[coral otter]

But yeah, overcharge and oppression im curious about

REAL QUESTION, does corrective affect ds and brand new part since theyre skill checks

I am pretty sure the game differentiates between "normal" and "difficult" which are also in the perk descriptions of overcharge and other skill check perks. And corrective specifically says "normal"

[hasty copper]

Oh, that is why you said about Coulro. I didnt realize along with the rangeless buff to Corrective it also applies to healing. I might run it honestly

[stoic river]

but meta meta is pain res dms + grim or corrupt

[coral otter]

I am guessing since stakeout affects pig traps, corrective probably affects pig traps but i have no idea

[hasty copper]

Really? I didnt realize Stakeout affected her traps

[coral otter]

You wanna try real fast?

[hasty copper]

Sure. Who would be the second survivor?
Oh just bot

[coral otter]

Bot with corrective lol

[solid beacon]

I only brought clown and artist so far, chill

[solid beacon]

Ok

[supple seal]

are the games servers laggin or is it jus my game?

[pseudo egret]

I like running surveillance with pop tells me what gen they keep trying to finish lol

[glacial kayak]

does unlocking a chest with a key consume it? even though the changes have been out for a while ive never used a key on a chest

[rapid walrus]

Is flashbang broken right now? I can't even create one let alone use the perk.

[wicked needle]

what is knights best addons:?

[uncut vigil]

it will -1 charge

[solid beacon]

Like what? Machine Learning or Discordance?

[shadow pilot]

I've been trying to get a max bloodpoint wesker adept run completed I've been so close but part of thinks it's impossible idk if is or not, help

[solid beacon]

Did you repair 40% of a gen?

[hasty copper]

@primal folio Lemon Lizard found out that it doesnt work for Oppression, Overcharge or No Quarter, but it does work for Pinheads box and Pigs Traps

[limpid grove]

I'm looking to try a full boon build with Shadow Step, Healing Circle, Exponential, and Dark theory. Any tips on how to play it most effectively?

[rapid walrus]

Yeah! The perk was full and even did the noise notification to let you know it was all good to be used, but when I hopped in a locker it wouldn't allow me to craft one. Did that for 5 games in a row so finally I just took it off.

[primal folio]

• Multi-floor maps will be your favorite, as it extends to floors above/below
• Try to get it as centered in the map for good coverage, or plant it in an area around multiple generators/strong loops
• Re-planting the boon over and over is more time efficient for the killer; don't commit TOO hard to it if the killer seems to seek them out often

If you're playing with friends, telling your friends to lead the killer into the boon is a strong help in chase with Shadowstep + Dark Theory

[limpid grove]

ah ok ty!

[uncut vigil]

sounds like a bug, I had no issue crafting just few days ago

[potent niche]

why tf when I make a new loadout, play on it a few times, then exit the game and later play again that loadout is gone and I'm back to the default one I had

[shadow pilot]

I just did it's possible i hate myself for doing this tho

[errant kindle]

what long range info perk might one use for an oni slugging build?

[candid basalt]

is there any perk I can use in place of rapid brutality? since I don't have it yet

[primal folio]

Depends a bit on the killer, but if haste is the aim, Batteries Included or Machine Learning also fit well here

[violet mountain]

Has anyone else noticed that spring traps axe activates dissolution but it just doesn’t work? As in the pallet doesn’t break when the perk is activated by the axe.

[lyric geyser]

guys tips for nurse pleas
only won like three games w her n i got dbd like last week😞

[uncut vigil]

are they in your terror radius?

[shrewd creek]

she’s very buggy rn, but best tips i can give you is learn your blinks and you don’t want to predict every blink. also she takes a bit of time so just play more as well

[sudden acorn]

What are the best perks to reveal the killers aura?

[clear wraith]

Object Of Obsession, Alert, Dark Sense and Eyes Of Belmont if you want nothing but constant reveals

[sudden acorn]

Thank you :)

[clear wraith]

Isn’t this just bc those have Good and Great check-zones while the other ones only have Good check-zones only?

[hasty copper]

Lemon conducted that it is because there are different clase of skillchecks. Normal, Difficult and Continuous, where Oppression and Overcharge are difficult and No Quarter and Merciless are Continuous and Corrective action only affects normal skill checks

[clear wraith]

ahhh

[errant kindle]

what are the best repair speed slowdown perks? wanted to run something to make gens a drag on pig

[tidal dagger]

When will The Krasue be available in the main game?

[violet mountain]

In all the instances, I’ve been in chase.

[wary cave]

the 23rd

[uncut vigil]

were you undetectable

[tacit orchid]

good perks for kaneki? i js picked him up n im pretty new

[scarlet garnet]

Same as everyone else. Slowdown and aura

[tacit orchid]

those are perks?

[wary cave]

the most common ones of the two categories are pain res and pop goes the weasel and barbecue and chili nowhere to hide floods of rage etc

you could run the first 4 as a build if you want to but just search up slow down or aura in your perks and it should show you perks that relate to that

[mild meteor]

As I was playing the Twins my game glitched and now I can’t interact with anything or even pick up survivors

[violet mountain]

With springtrap, it’s possible. I use it with onryo tho and it works fine while demanifested. So I’m unsure if that would be the case. Unless it’s the case with springtrap and it’s a bug

[uncut vigil]

I don't think its supposed to work on demanifested sasako, dissolution requires you to have a terror radius to be useful and dredge despite being the perks origin cannot use it in nightfall

[hasty copper]

Plaything and Pentimento. Double the tasks but the same amount of time

[thorn hull]

im running head-on and flashbang, but when i do it, i dont get the blind a lot of the time and i dont know why, i run slightly infront of the killer before dropping it

[tacit orchid]

think that trickster perk could be good on him?

[hasty copper]

They changed the range of flashbang a bit. It needs to be on their red stain which starts a step in front of them and the angle is a lot less.

[wary cave]

you can run no way out if you want to though it's mostly used on weaker kilers or endgame builds

[nova moss]

In order to get the evil incarnate achievement for Myers do you have to run Judith’s Tombstone or can you run just the piece??
Edit: nvm just got my achievement. I ran tombstone piece, got the 4K, and got worried I didn’t get it

[thorn hull]

i keep clipping it to show as an example so u can directly tell me what im doing wrong, but then in post game i see that the killer has lightborn 😭

[hasty copper]

Haha, unfortunate. I use Object so I know if they have lightborn

[hollow barn]

Chat do I lose out on eruption value if I kick a gen but down a survivor in quick succession instead of atleast 2-3 kicked gens maybe a network of eruption?

[shadow pilot]

can survivors leave if the have a pig trap on them

[remote magnet]

If it’s activated they die if they try to leave, if it’s not they can leave

[wary cave]

not really since your goal with eruption is to regress the gen

you're going to kick other gens throughout the match before another down

[primal folio]

Hatch is always safe.

If the trap was placed on them after the final gen was complete, the trap is harmless.

[hollow barn]

No their heads will pop
They can leave unaffected through hatch

[shadow pilot]

ok thx

[sudden acorn]

What do the different tiers on Nemesis do?

[primal folio]

Tier 2 lets you break pallets/walls
Tier 3 gives you a bit more range on the whip

[hollow barn]

Tier 2 he can break pallets and tier 3 he gains an extra M on his whip and move a bit faster while holding it

[sudden acorn]

Thank you :)

[heady spoke]

how's the star struck deathslinger build

agitation, star struck, surge, and pain res

[hollow barn]

Oh i was kinda overthinking since usually I run Nth with it and usually find a survivor after my first eruption kick

[thorn hull]

what happens if u go into a locker while one of knights guards is chasing you?

[wary cave]

think of it like this, you downed the survivor and got value out of eruption due to it

don't think of oh i need to kick multiple gens to get a bunch of eruption value because this is just at thing you're going to do naturally

[uncut vigil]

if the chase is active you will get grabbed out

[thorn hull]

damn

[solid beacon]

Perhaps a problem with Steam’s cloud sync?

[warm pasture]

Should I turn off crossplay on console to get better lobbies or does the match making take forever if I do?

[heady spoke]

why would you get better lobbies from no crossplay?

[warm pasture]

Pc survivors are typically better at the game

[heady spoke]

It'll just make you better

[modern elbow]

you will obviously take longer to load into a game

[warm pasture]

Rn idc about getting better. I want to have fun instead of ripping my hair out because I’m getting looped for 5 minutes without a down and 5 gens popping

[modern elbow]

no it wont lol

[warm pasture]

But is it worth it though is what I’m trying to figure out

[heady spoke]

You won't get better playing against bad players

[modern elbow]

No

[restive scroll]

which perks should i replace in my build 🥹 it’s windows, finesse, balanced and dh

[wary cave]

pc players can be better than controller survivors but the looping at your mmr isn't really going to change much nor will survivor knowledge

@modern elbow it will, facing better players helps you learn from the mistakes and learn counters to what survivors are doing

[warm pasture]

Like I said I don’t care about being better. I want to have fun

[modern elbow]

yea obv

[modern elbow]

js get rid of windows and balanced twin

[wary cave]

i'd take out windows and put in resilience if you already know how loops are

[restive scroll]

should i really take off windows if i play solo q tho💔

[modern elbow]

u can do thar anyways

[heady spoke]

You'll need better perks and knowledge before you'll just have fun in pubs.

[wary cave]

yet facing better players will produce a greater result that's just how it is in games

@restive scroll you don't have to but if you find yourself running into loops iwth no pallets a lot then go ahead keep it

[modern elbow]

yea

[warm pasture]

I have every perk and know how it works but the lobbies I’m getting are just complete sweat fests

[restive scroll]

what should i replace them w

[modern elbow]

adren or hope maybe

[restive scroll]

thank u thank u

[heady spoke]

Turning off crossplay will not stop that and just prolong the queues. You'll keep getting people of your skill level just playing controller

[wary cave]

or resilience to pair with finesse

[modern elbow]

ofc ofc

[warm pasture]

I’m playing for an hour at a time most times I’ve got an actual life unlike most players. I just want to get on and have fun for a couple games but it’s near impossible

[heady spoke]

Play some surv

[modern elbow]

one hour?!?!?!?! get a life

[warm pasture]

No. Because it’s the exact opposite. Nobody does gens and killer 4ks in less than 5 minutes

[modern elbow]

i think ur the problem 💔

[heady spoke]

If you die that's just more games. If you can get good at surv you'll know what the surv will do as killer.

[wary cave]

then idk what to tell you man i'm just hearing excuses for both sides

on killer you're getting looped and pressured too much, on survivor you're getting killed too much and not pressuring enough, just sounds like you need to take those matches and see what's going wrong on your end and try improving them

[warm pasture]

But what I’m saying is I don’t want to put that much thought into it. I want to play when I get home from work and kill some mfs. I shouldn’t have to study each game I play to have fun playing

[heady spoke]

I'd go play some bot matches

[wary cave]

well that's the sad truth about any online game man idk what to say

you're going to have to put in effort for what you want the game won't give it to you for free because then the game wouldn't be fun for anyone

[warm pasture]

There’s no incentive to that though. You make 0 progress on anything

[heady spoke]

You aren't wanting progress you're wanting fun though

If you dont want to get better you'll just keep losing.

[modern elbow]

so u want everybody to play how u want ?

[uncut vigil]

if you want fun without effort you should play single player chill games

[heady spoke]

Either play against bots or find a different game, because online games require effort and practice.

[wary cave]

dbd has been out since 2016, it's an old game and also an online multiplayer game

you're going to have to put effort in because that's just how dbd is designed, it's asymmetrical and you're playing the side that has the odds stacked against them

you can still play for fun but you cannot expect the best results if you're unwilling to put effort into the game

[heady spoke]

Coming home and turning your brain off to play a game leans more towards skyrim or other single player games

Anyways thoughts on starstruck, agitation, surge, pain res on deathslinger

[wary cave]

no clue don't play him but it doesn't sound bad

i think you don't need agitation though i'd swap it out for DMS

[heady spoke]

Doesn't agitation buff terror radius so star struck hits more area?

[tight radish]

good build

[uncut vigil]

thats almost my build!

[heady spoke]

Almost?

[errant kindle]

would you play differently depending on if a survivor is looking back at you vs running without looking?

[uncut vigil]

I use friends till the end instead of pain res, and agitation to hook mid map so I get to use the aura to hunt down

[heady spoke]

So no starstruck? Ah okay

[wary cave]

well just depends on what you want really

starstruck value or more pain res value

[uncut vigil]

starstruck agi, surge, ftte

[heady spoke]

Because pain res knocks them off for dms right?

[wary cave]

yup and then dms given that they don't fall for the pain res and have comms will let you know what gen is the most progressed

[uncut vigil]

if you play starstruck, you need to have an info perk or you're not finding anyone

ftte or spies from the shadows

[wary cave]

or awakened awareness from wesker

[heady spoke]

I wish surge was TR based too, but I guess that makes it useful for spirit. I have awakened awareness

Would infectious fright work too?

[uncut vigil]

awakened is only 20m and pretty much most of the times youre not finding anyone because you starstruck

[wary cave]

yeah it would work but i don't think you want a whole build revolved around carrying a survivor and getting downs off of it on deathslinger

[uncut vigil]

no where to hide is another good choice

[heady spoke]

Well the build was supposed to be around starstruck

Exposed is pretty good for slinger is it not?

[wary cave]

it is but me personally i look for something a little more consistent because you're not always going to get value out of starstruck and that build in specific but you will always get some sort of value out of dms and pain res but hey yk what they say if it ain broke don't fix it

[heady spoke]

I just didn't want all my builds looking like pain res grim embrace + 2 others. Starstruck seems like a cool build along with hex builds

I wonder how that star struck build would work on wraith. Is his invis a m1 or special thing like blight?

[hazy lantern]

Do the beam actions from maps grant auras for OTHER survivors? or just oneself

[sudden acorn]

What does solving Pinheads box as survivor do?

[lilac rune]

Yes
It can highlight gens for other players if its close enough

[heady spoke]

So bbq and chili is getting reworked?

[lilac rune]

It removes all progress on the chain hunt or just stops it if its active

[primal folio]

It resets the chain hunt and then respawns the box in a new location on a delay.

[sudden acorn]

What starts the chain hunt timer? Does it just progress through the whole match or does it start when Pinhead picks up the box

[sudden acorn]

Not yet

[primal folio]

The chain hunt instantly starts if Pinhead himself finds the box. Otherwise, it starts automatically on a timer.

[lilac rune]

Its just automatic like freddies sleep
But u cant make it go faster like freddy

[heady spoke]

Is that not coming with the patch?

[sudden acorn]

Thank you both :)

[tiny harness]

You can, there is an addon that speeds it up. The box also takes 45 seconds to respawn when a Survivor completes it, but only 10 if Pinhead does.

[sudden acorn]

No. It was part of the anti tunneling changes which arent going live.

[lilac rune]

I need to play pinhead more

[sinful oriole]

Are these the same thing or is this a typo

[heady spoke]

I really thought bbq would be encouraged to make people go across the map with the aura

[tiny harness]

Typo. The hair gives 8% hindrered to survivors within 12 meters of your teleport (3 seconds).

[sudden acorn]

Bug. The description belongs to the watch. Medusas hair hinders survivors near where you teleport in bat form

[heady spoke]

Wish I had em

[sudden acorn]

I wish i had pinhead god i hope they get him back 🙏

[lilac rune]

I bought him just before he left

[sudden acorn]

I didnt own the game at that point sadly 🥀

[hazy lantern]

Every time I try to play him people DC for some reason

**overexaggeration, not EVERYtime, just often enough to raise concern

[grim pumice]

Solo Q destroyer, the box makes uncoordinated teams (Solo Q players) get punished pretty badly

[zinc anvil]

Asking again, does anybody know what killers I should unlock to get perks that are best for Pig? I am also planning on eventually getting Wesker and Xeno sometime so any perks that work for those two as well are great (and I’d be interested in any tips for Wesker and Xeno)

[hasty copper]

Artist for Pentimento is good on Pig, along with Plaything or whatever it is called now
Plaything is a free perk now though

[zinc anvil]

Good to know! anything I should know about Wesker and/or Xeno? From what wesker’s ability says it seems to be a bit similar to how ghoul plays

[flat falcon]

Are there only 16 general killer perks?

[hasty copper]

In terms of dash, sure. But weskers dash is much different and doesnt slide like Ghoul does making it much harder to control. He is fun but it takes a lot of time and practice. Eventually you will get better survivors that make your power almost useless unless you can insta flick or slide. He is really fun though

[zinc anvil]

Actually very interesting, thank you! Any perk and add-on recommendations for when I get him?

[winged latch]

windows of opportunity + deception + head on + ds
is there anything i should change

[frigid hinge]

whenever i get in chase with killer i always get deadzoned or cant reach another window or pallet, any way to fix?

[hazy lantern]

Buy as much time as possible, hope your teamates do gens

maybe they'll get a save

Otherwise, windows of opportunity helps you find windows if you aren't able to map out loops before you get chased

[frigid hinge]

yeah i use windows of opportunity but i still get deadzoned

[hazy lantern]

There's a good video I recommend watching

Shows how to make the most out of every loop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffZWmy9Hpms

clickbaity title, but this is how I got introduced to survivor gameplay after being a killer main since last july

[split nova]

i checked my dbd stats and i only have 200 total hours in matches when i have 600 on steam, is the stats tracker that accurate? im confused

[hazy lantern]

Leaving the game open

**any steam game for that matter

contributes to the total pool

200 match hours means you've spent 200 hours in matches chasing/being chased

[split nova]

i dont think i afk’ed that long… if ppl ask how many hours you have are they asking about the total time or ingame time

[frigid hinge]

lobby queue

[solar marsh]

can somebody hop on

[analog ravine]

how to counter oni when he’s using his power and ur in a dead zone

[frigid hinge]

locker dodging or fake juking(what i do)

[wicked warren]

What button is it to drop a survivor?

[analog ravine]

what’s the chances it actually works

[frigid hinge]

locker dodging works often if you time it right but fake juking is a 50/50 depending on how good the oni is

[analog ravine]

pretty sure it’s R

[wicked warren]

Thx

[uncut wren]

can someone help me?

[trim moss]

does anyone know why sinster grace is being delayed by two days, updates being bundled together and cross play being disabled during updates on switch?, is it for wayyy more optimization considering switch is honestly horrible with dbd or does it have to do with nintendo itself?

[plush moat]

It does not have anything to do with dbd, its only happening because patch certification process is made harder by Nintendo due to unknown reasons

[trim moss]

huh, that’s interesting thanks for that, but will bhvr ever release a patch or something for switch 2?

[silver shard]

someone has a good chucky build in mind ?

[plush moat]

Uh, sure? Switch version is still being updated as the rest of the platform are

[fickle grove]

this is what i like even though it isnt meta necessarily

[trim moss]

like i mean a separate version for switch 2 like Fortnite did

[rustic carbon]

They havent said anything about anything related to a switch 2 version

[uncut wren]

Can someone help me please

[rustic carbon]

From what Im aware the switch version is just a mess in terms of content releases in general because of nintendo

[rustic carbon]

With what?

[uncut wren]

Basically my game is stuck on 9.0.2 version and i saw that the newest one is 9.1.3, i dont have any option to update the game. You know how to force the game to update or something? I just bought the game

[hasty copper]

Gen regression is always good. I like Pain Res for gen regression, you can pair it with Agitation for more consistent Pain Res hooks (Because RNG), Brutal if you would like for chase potential if survivors predrop and to get to dashing, and Bam is needed. I played too many games without it and it is very helpful when you use it. If you dont use Agi, then anything else is fine like Pop or BBQ for info

[rustic carbon]

If youre on steam it should update like normal

idk anything about epic games

[uncut wren]

i know but i just bought the game yesterday, and installed it. when i installed it it didnt had the 9.1.3 version, it just had the 9.0.2

[rustic carbon]

are you on steam?

[uncut wren]

yes

[rustic carbon]

have you tried booting up the game?

do you have automatic updates turned on?

[uncut wren]

yes

[rustic carbon]

Have you like, been able to play the game at all?

[uncut wren]

sadly no

i get the game version is invalid error all the time

[rustic carbon]

It has to be an issue on your end with steam

[uncut wren]

you know how to fix it?:(

[rustic carbon]

I dont really know what the problem is

[uncut wren]

i tried reinstalling the game, verifying the files etc.

[rustic carbon]

You could try setting the auto update thing to be immediet instead of when steam says so

[uncut wren]

i have it turned on

[rustic carbon]

do you have enough space?

[tribal idol]

I've just seen a clip of a player getting blocked in by a fellow survivor. Is it true that dropping a held item removes collision for a brief moment, giving you enough time to get past the idiot?

[uncut wren]

yeah

[rustic carbon]

are you in the PTB or something?

[uncut wren]

no, i dont even have the option of PTB in beta settings

[coarse rivet]

If anyone can help me here, I was wondering what Springtrap/Animatronic’s biggest weaknesses are? I’m trying to make a build that overall just helps me compensate for what could be slowing me down because my games have not been great lately

[hasty copper]

I think so, but I am unsure as I havent tried it myself

[rustic carbon]

I really dont know kid. Maybe @primal folio does?

[uncut wren]

oh okay:(

[hasty copper]

This happened with someone else earlier. Odd that it is two people in one day. The first person though tried to install a free DLC from some site and got their game stuck under updated, but didnt know how to fix it. Which to me is a little silly. If you cant fix it because you dont have to knowledge then dont try to mess it up in the first place

[hasty copper]

@rustic carbon@uncut wren
Right below this one
Might have a fix below that one

[uncut wren]

yea but i bought the game from the steam. i didnt cracked it

[untold mulch]

dlcs cost money for a reason bruh

[hasty copper]

Right but maybe the fix might help

[deep island]

Was there a sale for Lara’s costumes?

[rustic carbon]

As a counter to his undetectable after exiting doors, his footsteps are loud. Survivors can hear clunk clunk getting closer if they listen for it. The sound effect and voicelines that play when readying and recalling the axe are also very loud, much more noticeable than the footsteps. When he exits a door the survivors can also subtly hear the door opening and have a brief moment to react and get a head start on running. Basically, when he's undetectable the survivors have to listen for signs of his presence like in actual FNAF3. Asside from how loud he is with the axe it isnt too big a deal, but still something worth noting.

His aura can also be temporarily revealed to all survivors if any survivor looks at him through a camera long enough while he within a range of the camera. You'll hear a static noise when someone is looking at you. If someone is doing it and you know which camera you can chuck the axe at the door. A door and its attached camera are disabled when an axe is embedded in it (like, if they're looking at you and you chuck the axe at the door the feed will cut out). The aura also can't be blocked by the blindless status affliction, and the camera can pick you up through walls. This honestly doesn't happen very often and usually survivors will do it while you're chasing or carrying someone.

[uncut wren]

nope it didnt helped

[tribal idol]

What does it mean, farming a hook? Is that just unhooking as fast as possible for the altruism points, regardless of what happens to the unhooked person?

[hasty copper]

Pretty much. Makes it easier for the killer to tunnel that survivor

[stoic river]

no, it means you unhook super unsafely and get your teammate killed. Meaning you are farming your mate

[opaque nacelle]

Best skull merchant build is courpt , eruption , brutal , rapid ,
Add ons:
Vital targeting procesor, and ultrasonic speaker

[coarse rivet]

Appreciate it. Any suggestions for perks that may help more on him than most killers?

[trim current]

Does anyone know how to play badham as ghostie, its really frustrating getting looped that map, its the only map I really dislike

[tribal idol]

That seems about right. There's nothing much I can do to defend myself against that, is there?

[stoic river]

farming your mates is honestly one of the worst plays you can make in the game yes

[grim pumice]

Badham is pretty bad for all the killers, pray that it gets reworked soon or camp a 3 gen at the start of the match

[tribal idol]

So I suppose I can just anticipate a loss if people act like this?

[undone warren]

If slugging is implied in a killer's kit, is it ok?

[trim current]

Damn, that sucks. Feels like I get badham every time I play ghostie

[grim pumice]

yeah ig

[stoic river]

slugging is okay in general, its only not okay when you do it for ill intent reasons like wasting people time, forcing them to die slowly, slug for a 4k etc

[rustic carbon]

Off the top of my head Mindbreaker is a super good perk on a lot of killers but especially good on Springtrap. It causes survivors who are repairing generators to be both blinded and exhausted for as long as they are on the gen, and the effect lingers for a bit when they leave it (exhaustion lingering even longer if they are running).

This makes it so when Springtrap pops out of a door on unsuspecting survivors working on a generator, they can't abuse exhaustion perks like Sprint Burst which is HUGE.

messes them up more than other killers cause sprintrap can just pop up out of a door

[stoic river]

most of the times a loss or at least you die

[wispy harbor]

Opinion on my build? DS, Windows, that one vittorio chase perk and lithe

[undone warren]

I think if 2 survivors are dead FROM HOOK it's generally ok to slug for 4k

[stoic river]

its not imo but do what you want its not like any1 can stop you

[undone warren]

Both survivors and killers want to win, I just want it more :p

[stoic river]

there is 0 difference in winning with a 3k + hatch or a 4k, 0

[opal carbon]

Game questions, why tf do i keep only getting indoor maps when im trying to go for cool clips etc, take the indoor maps and take them out the game bhvr, Midwich,Hawkins,Larrys ive gotton Larry’s 9x ina row in the past almost 2 hours, why THE FUCK am i only getting indoor maps when im playing killer only take them out the game no one asked for the chapters or maps

[stoic river]

the game threats is exactly as the same "level" of win

[zinc summit]

Will dbd ever bring back the old graphics of the game, I was watching an old clip of mine and I was like dang why does the game look better with the old graphics 😭

[rustic carbon]

Don't worry about it too much. The problematic cases of slugging generally are when trolls are intentionally leaving survivors on the ground so they will bleed out. Usually camping their bodies and stuff. In cases where people complain while you're not actively being malicious, they're generally just being persecutive and raging.

[undone warren]

Absolutely Nowhere to Hide, because the aura reading travels with you, not the generator. So you can kick a gen, then travel through a door and have auras revealed to you upon exiting

[grim pumice]

it’s a sign to play scratched mirror or silent wraith with aura reading

[rigid sand]

I thought DH can only be used once? A surv just used it twice in my game or maybe it was Styptic? He had a medkit

[rustic carbon]

Like as Hag I leave people on the ground whenever someone triggers a trap and I gotta teleport away for another hit. It always comes with risk as the survivor can just be healed back up or could hide in a bush or something, but thats how the mechanic is meant to work.

[stoic river]

dh is one time per hook

[grim pumice]

dh can be used twice per match, one per hook

[undone warren]

You can bring party streamers and/or lethal pursuer for more reading as well

[rustic carbon]

I forgot about it traveling with you lmao

[rigid sand]

Can it be used for distance like to reach a pallet or window?

[undone warren]

Blood warden and party bag is a dastardly combination as well

[grim pumice]

it used to, but got nerfed

[undone warren]

Because you can hit a healthy survivor with the axe to block the gate while you take down an injured one for blood warden

[stoic river]

😔 no, but you can use drama for that

[rustic carbon]

Loot Bag. Springtrap can just have an extremely nasty and mean endgame build really. Throw on No Way Out too.

[undone warren]

Mb I say party bag because loot bag just sounds wrong to me TwT

[coarse rivet]

Oh damn, didn’t know that.

[undone warren]

Yeah it makes it really good on high mobility killers like nurse too

[rustic carbon]

Pretty sure it used to be able to if my memory isnt being terrible again. Perk was broken as hell back in the day.

[grim pumice]

Remember me, no way out, blood warden, (None are free, terminus, noed) and loot bag is a really fun build, but tbf if i were to play endgame build i would just use singularity

[coarse rivet]

What about gen regression? Should I just go with the usual suspects or should I try playing pressure a certain way

[undone warren]

Personally I don't like pain resonance

[rustic carbon]

The usual is good. Pain Res, Dead Man's Switch, Pop Goes the Weasel

[coarse rivet]

FUCKING SAME

[stoic river]

how exactly dont you like pain res

[undone warren]

I like Pop and Eruption together

[rustic carbon]

Dead Man's Switch is insane

[stoic river]

pain res dms + eruption is superior

[rustic carbon]

Pain Res + DMS is a thing too

[undone warren]

It's good regression, but only 4 times a game, and there's a chance that it'll hit a generator with barely any progress on it if the survivors play smart, basically wasting it

[rustic carbon]

Survivors screaming triggers the DMS block. So the generator will explode and then immedietly get blocked and highlighted via aura for the next 60 seconds if a survivor was working on it when it exploded.

[stoic river]

you can control when to pop it. and all that is still not enough to not make it the best perk in the game

[grim pumice]

running 3-4 slowdown it’s pretty plain and boring, unless you are going for a streak or playing a bottom 5 killer, i don’t see why you would need it

[stoic river]

pain res is much much superior to pop. Eruption is great too

[rustic carbon]

It depends

[undone warren]

My play style is honestly just too aggressive to play around with scourge hooks, and I don't want to bother with jagged compass

[stoic river]

we are purely talking about strength not fun.

[rustic carbon]

Pop is most consistent. Pain Res can get messed up due to scourge hook rng.

[stoic river]

for fun I would still run pain res + eruption then no where to hide + lethal, or bbq

[rustic carbon]

BBQ overrated as all hell.

[stoic river]

I agree, but its good enough for info

[undone warren]

Especially on teleport killers

[stoic river]

I like running, friends until the end a lot too

[grim pumice]

just high mobility killers overall, blight, billy, ghoul etc can always capitalize on the bbq info

[undone warren]

When I want to do anti gen, I play springtrap with Bonnie's guitar, nowhere to hide, machine learning, noed, and help wanted

[rustic carbon]

regardless, @coarse rivet Springtrap has a variety of options for generator slowdown to pick from. All of it works well enough.

[undone warren]

It allows me to manage generators without needing any actual slowdown perks

[rustic carbon]

Personally I like running hex builds cause its funnier

[coarse rivet]

Cool. Appreciate the advice everyone :))

[undone warren]

And if they do complete a gen, it's usually because I honestly let them because I want to snowball with machine + help

[stoic river]

dms is all thr info i need as well. no need for aura perks at all

[eager island]

So i play plague with add ons exorcism amulet and limestone seal
Ive met some games where i was patrolling around not even taking the corrupted pools ability but somehow i heard the bell and my vile purge turned to corrupt purge instantly, i was genuinely confused why so, my add ons also normal add ons, is this a bug? Or what did i overlook?

[grim pumice]

Every fountain in the map was corrupted so it automatically gave you corrupt

[undone warren]

Because let me tell you, machine learning + help wanted+ NOED + Loot Bag is one of the most panic inducing build in survivors

[eager island]

Ohh

[silver shard]

Good chucky build ?

[undone warren]

Coup de gra or however you spell it :p

And all shaking thunder, hear me out

[analog ravine]

what kinda songz yall play while on dbd

[undone warren]

Depends on the killer

[analog ravine]

tell me den

[undone warren]

Any RJ Pasin song for Legion

Springtraps menu music instead of his chase theme

Funniest one is probably In The Hall of The Mountain King for Bubba

[shrewd creek]

none. i stayed locked in.

[undone warren]

I am locked in still :[

[visual idol]

Im new to dbd, and I wanna play singularity does anyone have any tips

[undone warren]

I'm a singularity main :p

[visual idol]

[stoic river]

singularity needs a nerf asap holy

[undone warren]

Fine if I DM u?

[visual idol]

Sure

[shrewd creek]

try to play your cams in areas where it’s hard for survivors to disable and the cameras get a lot of value, for example don’t place it right on a gen, place it at a distance where it can cover all sides and if they prerun, you get a tag. keep in mind where emp boxes are and you can also place a cam on them (some, not all) to hold down an area, especially if it’s around a gen. your cams will carry along with perks and singularity is all about the long game, whoever runs out of endurance first pretty much

[visual idol]

Tyvm

[shrewd creek]

you wanna make it your mission where survivors need to do more work to get emp’s, disable cams, remove their infection, etc. make sure you keep survivors infected as well

[sour spoke]

What do i do not to suck so much as the legion? I am having decently good games with the killer but it's mostly due to survivor error, any decent survivor i come across i am forced to break chase because i know i wont be able to get him. My only true strat is just force survivors to make a trigen ending so i can just m1 them. I feel like i have 0 pressure as a killer with legion

[shrewd creek]

legion is a lower tier killer. you just gotta play to the best of your ability to mind game and get downs. if a survivor is forcing you to break chase, find a weaker link and go for them. your best bet as legion is to use power, get injure, and if other survs are too far for power, you cancel power while on the closest survivors back and m1 them. legion is very add on and perk dependent, so run strong perks/addons to the best of your ability

[zinc dragon]

How do you counter unknown again

[sour spoke]

i see, i've been flip flopping with addons because i dont have any i feel like they'll work well (i haven't reached prestige 1 yet) but my current perks are No Holds Barred, Thrilling Tremors, Iron Maiden and Huntress Lullaby.

[shrewd creek]

dodge uvx. if you get hit, you have to stare at him to get rid of it; you can’t be too far or else it doesn’t do away. cleanse his tp’s so he doesn’t have map control

[shrewd creek]

so, what i will say is this build isn’t good for legion. thrilling tremors is decent but the other 3 don’t work well for them. we can focus on perks instead of addons rn based off you not being p1 yet. do you have eruption, pop goes the weasel, pain res, or dms?

what id recommend is if you want to keep thrilling tremors on you can, switch out huntress lullaby for surge, switch out iron maiden for pain res and no holds barred (this is the new name for deadlock right?) for pain res

[sour spoke]

i got non of those xd, i'm very much new to the game only prestiged trapper wraith huntress and ghost face

no holds barred is the one that blocks most repaired gen on gen completion idk if thats what deadlock was

[shrewd creek]

okay, gotchu. i don’t think surge is a universal perk since they brought demo back, so just in case it isn’t:

no holds barred (it was deadlock), discordance, thanatophobia (if you don’t have this, use scourge hook: weeping wounds), and enduring (if you don’t have this, just slap on noed)

with legion, it is a bit tricky as slow down is important, especially if survs know not to heal

[sour spoke]

not a big fan of noed but also dont have enduring. it's a strong perk but i dont like meeting it when playing survivor so i wont use it

[shrewd creek]

bet. so instead of noed, you can use plaything (i think it’s called fortunes fool now?)

[sour spoke]

the oblivious hex?

[shrewd creek]

yes. could give you value especially in lower mmr

[sour spoke]

im at gold 3 on killer atm

[shrewd creek]

yeah, that doesn’t mean anything. mmr is a hidden scale

[uncut wren]

someone knows how to force game update? im stuck on 9.0.2

[shrewd creek]

even tho it’s also the most useless thing, i have 8k hrs and still playing against 100 hr survs when im on killer

[shrewd creek]

clear your download cache, then verify game files

[uncut wren]

i did many times

[shrewd creek]

are you the guy who said he downloaded something for all the content and now can’t make dbd work?

[sour spoke]

oh lol i see. well im starting to meet more competent survivors. i keep meeting with thousands of hours now and having a hard time to adjust because i dont know the perks or the maps so i keep getting looped for ages

[uncut wren]

nah

[shrewd creek]

don’t even stress about that. playing the game more is learning, it’s hard when you’re a new player. just keep playing and don’t stress out over it

[sour spoke]

yeah game is fun, just has no tutorial pretty much, its why i joined the server. thanks, ill give the build a few games to settle see how it goes.

[shrewd creek]

for sure. let me know how it goes

[north saddle]

Nah I only use his addons for chase music cuz damn they are fire

[shrewd creek]

open steam, go to settings then storage. click the 3 dots there then click repair folder. i hate to say it but you might have to uninstall then reinstall. if that doesn’t work, contact dbd support

[shrewd creek]

i respect it LMAO. susie my pookie

[sour spoke]

the mix tap addons actually change the music?

[uncut wren]

i have only repair library option

[shrewd creek]

yes, you’ll hear the difference between them as well. it’s kinda cool

also try that @uncut wren

[sour spoke]

awesome

[uncut wren]

okay i did that, now it should work?

[shrewd creek]

try it and lmk if it says update on dbd or after verifying game files to update

[undone warren]

As a solo queue survivor who can't rely on randoms for heals, should I run No Mither? I enjoy the perk and the more stealthy play style, but was wondering if there were better options

[zealous loom]

You're better off running Iron Will instead.

[shrewd creek]

it’s not worth it in solo q, as marble said run iron will instead and bring a medkit with you to heal yourself

[undone warren]

Ty :))

Sometimes I like no mither for the vibes because it makes the game more... Suspenseful, lol

[rustic carbon]

You could always become the healer

[stoic river]

I have never heard a worst idea

[undone warren]

Ooh fair point, be the hero I can't get lol

[rustic carbon]

Come packed with a medkit with a ton of charges and you can quickly heal yourself aswell. Especially if you have botany

[undone warren]

It would help incentivise them to to heal me back too lol

[rustic carbon]

Deliverance is also a thing you could run.

It lets you unhook yourself guarenteed (when at first hook stage) if youve unhooked a survivor prior

[uncut wren]

still the same bro:|

[shrewd creek]

idk what to tell you, man. this sounds like something you need to escalate with bhvr support

[undone warren]

Normally I'm running around unhooking these bums anyways so I might as well lol

[undone warren]

I wouldn't trust bhvr support either tbh

[shrewd creek]

granted they take FOREVER to answer, but it’s either them or @uncut wren you can also contact steam

[zinc summit]

How many blood points roughly would I need to prestige 6 the new survivor with the automatic blood point, unless manually is cheaper

[undone warren]

Id go with steam

[uncut wren]

ima js create a ticket

[shrewd creek]

6-6.5m ish

[zinc summit]

Thank you I'm super excited for the new survivor I've been doing all the tome challenges I didn't do and waiting

[eternal wedge]

My game is broken, I can run around, all the surivours are stuck doing whatever action they are doing, I'm stuck in frenzy mode and If I quit I'll get banned, what do I even do??

[sour spoke]

also whats up with survivors just camping the hatch as soon as any survivor dies? i've had many games recently where the survivors just hide after getting 1 or 2 kills before 1-2 gens are done

[undone warren]

Turn off the wifi

[shrewd creek]

it just be like that

[undone warren]

Literally happened to me yesterday

[sour spoke]

build worked out great btw

[coarse ridge]

who do i buy out of literally every single character

[shrewd creek]

glad to hear that. once you unlock more people and prestige them, you’ll get better perks that are a lot more reliable

[shrewd creek]

let’s narrow it down: who do you have? also for survivor or killer?

[undone warren]

Killer or survivor? Or literally anyone

[coarse ridge]

literally anyone

[sour spoke]

get the ones you think are cool

[plucky meadow]

buy dredge

[coarse ridge]

is knight any good

[stoic river]

yes

[undone warren]

He's very technical so I wouldn't recommend him for beginners

[shrewd creek]

knight really isn’t good, people just give up against him fairly quickly and becomes boring.

do you want perks, to play the person, or both? it’s hard to give a definitive answer without actually knowing more detail

[undone warren]

Id recommend getting comfortable with the game first, on both killer and survivor

[coarse ridge]

someone thats fun with decent perks just not chucky

[stoic river]

blight

[coarse ridge]

i have like 100 hours

[stoic river]

you should get artist asap even if only for the perks, same with death slinger

[undone warren]

Alr good lol
Id say Oni or Nemesis then, they're fun to play and have good perks

[shrewd creek]

leaning towards killer:

artist and blight.
artist has the BEST perk teachables on any killer (she’s 3/3 on them). she’s also fun but also a bit technical. blight has 2 insane hex perks and a good gen perk, he’s also very fun but slightly more technical as well. both require time put into the game to have a better understanding

[coarse ridge]

i have springtrap, artist, kaneki, wesker, bubba, legion, knight and plague

[shrewd creek]

oni’s perks are dogshit lmao what

[undone warren]

Nuh uh nemesis is really fun

[plucky meadow]

theres some builds w zanshin i think

[shrewd creek]

those are very niche/situational builds

[coarse ridge]

if i get quentin for vigil what do i swap out for it in this build: windows,ds,lithe/dh,finesse

[undone warren]

Pyramid Head with thrilling tremors and Zenshin

[shrewd creek]

coca, the best tip anyone will give you, get whoever YOU want to get and feels right. everyone will give you a different answer and it’s your fun

swap out windows

[coarse ridge]

fair

[flint kindle]

Whatever you think you don't get the most use of
Meta wise it's prolly Windows

[undone warren]

Mhm exactly

[shrewd creek]

i didn’t say anything about nemesis or fun. i just said oni’s perks are dogshit

[undone warren]

Even skull merchant could be a good choice

[coarse ridge]

ill get piggy 🥰

[shrewd creek]

skull merchant is a horrible choice, that’s the one thing everyone will agree on 💀

[undone warren]

But but but sniper pyramid head :(((

Nemesis, Game Afoot, Rancor, and Friends till the end

Oni + Skull Merchant :0

[shrewd creek]

not a horrible pick. she has ok perks (except hangman’s trick, that’s actually worst perk in the game) and she’s fun

[coarse ridge]

whos like the top 3 worst killers

[undone warren]

Twins

They're so bad they take up the worst five

[shrewd creek]

skull merchant, trapper, ghostface/myers

[undone warren]

Trappers ok the only problem is you have to use both iris to get consistent use of his power

There's no saving skull merchant just take her perks and leave

[shrewd creek]

the fact you said trapper is ok tells me a lot

[undone warren]

)):

I'm not saying he's great
He's just in a very odd spot when it comes to skill expression

[shrewd creek]

trapper will always be 4 outed against any slightly competent team

[undone warren]

I have witnessed incomprehensible horrors committed by trapper mains
They will do whatever it takes to win
Casual trappers are fine tho they just wanna put you in basement and relive the good old days

But yeah with his iris even against swfs he can be a problem

Admittedly not as much as a problem as other killers

[jolly sphinx]

Twins is pretty widely recognised as a very powerful killer, just played little due to how horribly clunky and bugged their power is

[undone warren]

I mean did you see what's been happening in the ptb it's ridiculous

[coarse ridge]

ghosty is bad???

[stoic river]

what? twins is a top 10 killer in the game, extremely strong, and even on the ptb it was still strong. on top of the changes are massively delayed

[jolly sphinx]

That aspect of the PTB isn't going through for a while, I'm talking about Twins in the current live game

[stoic river]

m1 killers are not very good in general.

[flint kindle]

No chase utility so he just doesn't really do all that much
