Singularity, Skull Merchant, Hag, Trapper, and to an extent Knight are the area control killers.

Singularity is by far the most powerful of them. He can deploy cameras around the map he can view, and infect survivors with a big blob as he views them. He can immedietly teleport onto an infected survivor infected either at range manually or from a camera, where he then gains a speed boost and immunity to a single pallet stun for a period of time.

Second strongest of these is Knight, who has the ability to deploy one of three different guards/soldiers who will traverse a patrol path he sets for them and chase survivors they detect. You can use this to control areas as well as pincer attacking survivors alongside a guard. Each guard has different strengths and serves a different purpose.

The other three are very underpowered but are still fun.

Skull Merchant, to try and keep it brief, can deploy drones around the map which let her track survivors and zone them durring chase.

Hag can place traps on the ground which when set off in an AoE spawn a clone of her, play a loud mapwide sound effect, have a fake terror radius, and play chase music as if you are chasing them. In addition, you can teleport to to triggered trapa and immedietly attack out of the teleport.

Trapper is Trapper. He places beartraps.

[tepid sequoia]

not even a mention of sadako?

[rustic carbon]

Shit I forgoy about her. Im not qualified to explain her anyway

[wet solstice]

does this perk combo get affected by DR?
deja vu, stake out, hyper focus, 1234

[tame crow]

Merchant is the juice that isnt worth the squeeze

[vagrant socket]

How long is the initializing shaders thing supposed to last?? I just updated the game so that could be why it’s taking so long to load but I’m not sure.

[tame crow]

But I just play her and hard tunnel 1 person out for no reason

• mori and skins + I find her fun

[tepid sequoia]

sadako is the macro mastermind killer. She relies heavily on reading survivor movements, so she can strategically teleport to set up an instakill. She has some slight chase utility but is mostly a pure m1 killer

[rustic carbon]

Happens skmetimes. Close and reopen the game

[vagrant socket]

Alr cuz it’s been doing this for almost 5 mins

[spare bloom]

who’s safari

[tepid sequoia]

onryo

[plucky helm]

Is Champion of light, windows, lithe and quick gambit a good build?

[rustic carbon]

Sure

[tame crow]

take windows off

[spare bloom]

i think ima go with the knight is there any problem with that

[tame crow]

how many reworks has onryo had? 5?

[tepid sequoia]

2

[rustic carbon]

Nope. Knight is cool

[spare bloom]

onryo sounds trash ngl same with blight

[flint kindle]

Define trash in this context

[tame crow]

elaborate

[spare bloom]

a bad killer

[tepid sequoia]

lmao. She's hard to play once people know how to do tape runs, but onepumpwillie has like a 200+ winstreak on her

as for blight, HAHAHAHAH

[flint kindle]

As in meta? Balance? Gameplay? Fun? Strategy? Perks?
Because Blight is objectively one of the Strongest killers in the game

[spare bloom]

just use spirit or chucky they have better dashes

[lean parcel]

yh bro blight sucks.

[rustic carbon]

Longest winstreak in the game's history is a near 2000 from a competitive Blight player

[rain dove]

as a new player, what killers/survivors should i buy or what should i do to get better perks?

[tepid sequoia]

this has to be ragebait atp. Spirit doesn't have a dash

[flint kindle]

Spirit doesn’t have a Dash
Chucky is objectively worse than Blight, his Dash has nearly turning and can barely be used as map mobility and is slower than Blights

[azure juniper]

Did they remove stranger things vecna's gold skin? Why can't I find it?

[rustic carbon]

Theres also an audio queue warning he is gonna dash. Chucky I mean.

[spare bloom]

i meant like the walk is better than his dash

[flint kindle]

If you’re referring to Henry’s Legendary skin
It was a Rift Pass skin, and that Rift ended. It’ll come back to Stores eventually

[spare bloom]

chuckys goes through pallets blights just hits them and wastes time

[azure juniper]

Ah.

[lean parcel]

blight (Artist, Plague and Clown are a very good start for perks)

[rustic carbon]

Blight can dash around the pallets and ignore them entirely

[rain dove]

ive been interested in maining wraith, springtrap, and maybe blight if that helps

[tepid sequoia]

then buy those

[rugged flume]

i like dracula

[flint kindle]

You are aware that Rush is far faster than Phase right?
And has far less limits

Blight has the ability to cross an entire Map in seconds and wrap around tiles in barely any time at all
The only other Killer who could be considered stronger is the one who literally ignores the concept of a tile in the first place

[rustic carbon]

Artist, Hag, Clown, Nemesis, and Demogorgon on the most notable unlockable killers in terms of perks off the top of my head

[tepid sequoia]

people have stopped saying plague recently interestingly

[rustic carbon]

Oh right plague I forgot

[flint kindle]

From what I have heard Corrupt Purge’s Hit Reg has just been awful recently

[tepid sequoia]

it is, but we're talking about perks lol

[spare bloom]

bro you need to hit walls to do that and it’s hard to ricoshae to kill a survivor using that

[lean parcel]

I mean corrupt is very good idk why ppl would stop mentioning her, also Ive heard infectious is good

[rain dove]

i see, which of those should i buy first, then? or should i just buy them in no particular order

[plucky helm]

for what, im still pretty new i got about 300 hours on the game

[spare bloom]

i want you to say why this killer is good because i’m interested in knowing what this killer does i know nothing about it

[tepid sequoia]

buy whichever sound the most interesting to you. You don't have to buy perks simply for strength. People still win perkless

[rustic carbon]

Artist is the one people recomend getting first general in terms of the killers who don't cost money. In terms of licensed killers Nemesis is pretty big.

[flint kindle]

Every map has walls, and difficulty does not change the fact he can completely dominate most tiles

[flint kindle]

I thought you said playing

[tepid sequoia]

for starters, assuming survivors don't touch tapes, she can mori everyone at 0 hooks. Once survivors start touching tapes is where she becomes harder to play, but her power is also an inherent slowdown, cuz survivors would like to not get morid at 0 hooks

[rustic carbon]

There is a popular streamer who regularly plays perkless Trapper and kicks ass

[spare bloom]

i don’t know what morid does

[dusky ravine]

Can you join friend's lobbies unprompted while they're in a match still? Or do you need to wait for an invite?

[primal folio]

Can't join a friend while they're in a game, no.

Have to wait for the lobby to open

[dusky ravine]

You can't join their lobby though like you used to?

[spare bloom]

tell me how fun it is compared to killers like chucky because that was my last main too

[tepid sequoia]

it's just a quick finisher that every killer has, but some killers have special ones, like sadako, phead, myers, henry

[tepid sequoia]

if you like the feel like you're magnus carlsen playing chess, then she's fun

[spare bloom]

ok

[spare bloom]

i’ll consider buying her but ima do some more research on the killer it does sound like a main i might want i love the animations tho

[rustic carbon]

What determines someone being the "number one X main"

[tepid sequoia]

there are sites that track steam achievement progress

[tame crow]

Idk most hours to kr ratio

[rustic carbon]

I havent seen any one that considers specific characters tho

[wet solstice]

^

[tame crow]

nobody will play the judgement 3 weeks post release

[vagrant socket]

What happened to the end screen music?

[spare bloom]

what’s DR

[tepid sequoia]

idk what the name of the site is, but I know it has ranks per killer based on their steam achievement. Like huntress with long range hatches and whatever. It goes up to thousands

[rustic carbon]

its bugged

[wet solstice]

diminishing return

[tame crow]

if someone wanted to play a killer of that style they would play artist, but as u can see nobody wants to do that

[tepid sequoia]

#game-discussion

[foggy lion]

I’m looking to begin better at looping, my teammates are generator focused so I want to be the distraction so they can genny. What perks are ideal for an amateur looper?

[tepid sequoia]

I suggest to not run any looping perks while you're learning. I recommend bound by obsession and resurgence for practicing

[rustic carbon]

Windows is all there is really, and even then you shouldnt rely on it as a crutch

[weak jewel]

is there a way to not let one survivor escape as killer or is there always gonna be at least one

[rugged berry]

Slug the 3rd survivor so hatch doesn't spawn

Or find hatch first

But 3k is still a win and hatch is a "pity escape"

[weak jewel]

Wait mb I meant 2v8

[rugged berry]

Uhh 8k is even less meaningful. But close all 3 hatches before survivors find one?

[flint kindle]

Same logic but with more hatches

[rustic carbon]

I get full kills in my duo with my younger brother all the time. Hell I once had a game with a Billy who singlehandedly downed everyone on RPD by himself before I could do much.

[spare bloom]

idk what that perk is

[rugged berry]

Its not a perk. Its a mechanic

[old dagger]

COMMON GUDS JOIN ME AND HELP ME CHOOSE BEST SURVIVOR OR KILLER

[weak jewel]

But like how tho, they always finish gens fast and we end up getting like 2 kills

[spare bloom]

idk what that mechanic is

[weak jewel]

when do the hatches open in 2v8?

[rugged berry]

2 survivors left

[weak jewel]

What do u and your brother usually do to get full kills?

[rugged berry]

The more boosts you have of a specific thing, like heal speed or haste, the less powerful the effects are

So if you have a perk giving 10% haste and 5% haste

The 5% gets cut in half to 2.5% haste

[spare bloom]

oh

can someone explain to me what onryo does and why should i or should not get it

[rustic carbon]

I play Trapper and he plays Nemesis. We coordinate as I set up my trap web of control across a side of the map. His zombies combined with my traps lock down and zone survivors around the area so they struggle to deal with us.

We used to duo with Legion and Nurse sometimes because it was absolutely disgusting and got easy full kills but that isnt possible anymore with Legion removed from the mode

[weak jewel]

ah okay maybe that's the reason cuz I run deathslinger

[leaden crown]

whats the best legion build

[rugged berry]

Slinger is considered to be the worst killer in the mode tbh

[rustic carbon]

@rugged berry

[weak jewel]

oh rlly ._.

[rugged berry]

Heres a copy/paste for perks

Legion wants Regression and Chase perks for the most part. Given that they're an M1 killer with some built in slowdown and Info

What you DONT want is Anti heal. Because of Legions counterplay being... not healing

Some perks I can recommend

Blood Echo
Mindbreaker
Brutal Strength
Coup De Grâce
Bamboozle
Surge
Pain Resonance
Batteries Included
Grim Embrace
Turn back the clock
Cull the Weak
No holds barred

My personal build is Coup/Batteries/Brutal/Pain Res

[spare bloom]

is yoichi a good survivor

[flint kindle]

Demanifest makes her less visible to survivors, immune to stuns and can’t attack survivors
The lesser visibility lasts briefly after Manifesting

She can teleport to active TVs
Whenever she teleports, anybody near an active TV gets Condemned
If a Survivor reaches max Condemned you can Mori them regardless of Hook States

Her main gameplay factor is knowing how to manage her TVs and Condemned to maximise wasting Surviors time or getting Moris

[rugged berry]

Yeah he's bad in the 1v4 already so making maps bigger for his 4.4 ass just sucks so much more than you'd think

@spare bloom all survivors are functionally the same

[spare bloom]

i meant the perks

[spare bloom]

how many tvs are there

[rugged berry]

I love Empathic Connection
Dark theory and Parental Guidance are eh

[weak jewel]

so what should I use? Deathslinger is the only one I bought

[rain sandal]

Wraith is pretty fun

[rugged berry]

Play who you want. Don't play for the win, theres nothing to be gained and 2v8 isn't as serious

Plus its heavily survivor sided

[wet solstice]

^
can killers inside fog vile see survivors outside the fog vile

[weak jewel]

okay, I just want more bloodpoints

[flint kindle]

I don’t believe there’s a set number

[rugged berry]

Then dont play 2v8 killer

[spare bloom]

is there an average estimate you can think of

[rain sandal]

Yeah lowk just do survivor, they get more

[weak jewel]

survivor gives more??

[tepid sequoia]

there are 7 tvs, one in range of each gen @flint kindle@spare bloom

[true hare]

What is bloodlust and what does it do

[spare bloom]

oh ok so it’s almost impossible to get the kill on a survivor using that

[flint kindle]

You can see the Role Multipliers

[rugged berry]

2v8 survivor yes cause of the bonus

And you won't get 1 GAME EVERY 30 MINUTES

@true hare The longer you're in chase without breaking a pallet or using your power. Gain haste

[worthy sail]

When will Wesker comeback?

[wild badger]

Is DbD lagging for everyone or is it just me?

[tepid sequoia]

??
if a survivor is sitting on a gen and nobody is picking up tapes, you can literally kill someone in like 2 minutes

[worthy sail]

thx!

[flint kindle]

They have a 16m Range and they’re next to the Survivor Objective
They’re gonna hit people

[wild badger]

When's the next bugfix?

[tepid sequoia]

next tuesday, ie 2 days

[spare bloom]

i meant like getting all 7 on a survivor is impossible

[rugged berry]

Bug fix patches always happen on the first and second tuesday after the chapter drops

[tepid sequoia]

survivors need 7 stacks
there are 7 tvs
teleporting procs condemned around every active tv

[flint kindle]

They have to walk across the map to remove stacks
Hooking locks in 3 stacks
Good Onryo’s know what TVs survivors are going to and deny them cleansing their stacks

[spare bloom]

yeah but you can only use a tv once

[flint kindle]

So you have 7 Teleports
Which means you can trigger Condemend around a TV up to 7 times by teleporting to other TVs first

[tepid sequoia]

they go on an individual 45s cd on a tp to it

[spare bloom]

i meant like it’s very hard to get 7 on a survivor to kill em

[flint kindle]

Depends on the survivors and how good you are at Sadako
Her entire selling point is being able to express Macroplay knowledge

[rugged berry]

OnePumpWillie. Whose on a Sadako winstreak and clearly goes against very good survivors. They still get condemn killed at times

[spare bloom]

i bought the sadako dlc

[sage token]

Are y'all good at the game

[tepid sequoia]

https://dontasktoask.com/

unless the crux of the question was are we good, in that case #game-discussion

[spare bloom]

does sadako have any good perks

[sage token]

Thx bro✌️

[weary meteor]

is there any guide on what u should do for each tile with oni power

[tepid sequoia]

floods of rage and call of brine are good, merciless storm is a doctor skill check build perk

[dry token]

I’m not an expert by any means, but I’d put good money on the answer being “no”

[weary meteor]

ight I'll js check out some comprehensive guides n see what they say

[dry token]

That’s probably your best bet. Good luck

[rugged flume]

Are any of Draculas perks good?

[tepid sequoia]

they're fun meme perks, but nothing too crazy strength wise

[rugged flume]

Only thing i can think of is noed and dominace

[tepid sequoia]

dominance is just an aight hex protection perk in general

[old dagger]

JOIN ME IN THE HUNT

[brazen wasp]

Idk if this is a question for this channel but earlier me and some friends were playing customs and one of my friends had a glitch on his screen where instead of see my survivor(Sable) HE SAW HUNTRESS, how the hell did huntress show up instead of sable?
(My killer selected was trickster btw)

[vital sequoia]

Chat what’s the best perk in the game

[tepid sequoia]

#bug-reports

[dry token]

There is no best perk, it’s kinda subjective

[wet solstice]

^

[rugged berry]

No. The fog vile is too dense to see out of it. You can see a few metres infront of you and thats it

[primal folio]

What?

[wet solstice]

^

[rugged berry]

I think its a stream promo. Their discord links to their twitch

@wet solstice 1234 and Hyperfocus with skill check chance.

Skill check bonus isn't affected. And you only have 1 repair speed perk

[rain sandal]

What's the like... dark mist?

[stoic river]

no

[primal folio]

This refers to fog clouds that roll across the map

Admittedly it's hardly noticable

[mint trail]

Is 2v8 out?

[dry token]

Yes

[fleet kestrel]

whats the most overpowered killer in 2v8? What killer do we hate the most

[rain sandal]

Ah fr? I was wondering what these add-ons were for and if they were useful

[dry token]

IMO it depends on the map, I’ve had it honestly make it more difficult to see. But that’s rare. The offerings are pretty much useless.

[primal folio]

Not particularly useful, no. Bloodpoint offerings are a much better idea.

[tepid sequoia]

unless you wanna hyperoptimize ghostface or something

[lean parcel]

spirit is ANNOYINGGGG to face

[tepid sequoia]

#game-discussion

[loud sorrel]

whens wesker coming back in

[tepid sequoia]

tuesday

[dry token]

Do diminishing returns affect gen speed perks (Deja, quick gambit, etc)

[spare bloom]

chat is bbq, friends, floods of rage, and call of brine a bad build for onryo (i only have chucky prestiged and i got bbq from shrine

[rugged berry]

Yes

[dry token]

Thank you

[spare bloom]

i thought that was obvious

[tepid sequoia]

ftte is not needed since you have bbq and have no other obsession perks

[dry token]

My bad…? Sorry for asking

[tall mica]

can you use bloodrush twice in one game

[rugged berry]

Once per unhook before all 5 gens are completed

[tall mica]

so multiple times for some reason i thought it was like ds

[stoic river]

but yes only 2, if you get stb'd you cant use it

[tall mica]

thanks didnt even think abt that

[cursive spoke]

What’s your guys go to survivor build

[spare bloom]

then what do you suggest instead because i only have chucky prestiged and bbq was from the shrine

[tepid sequoia]

I can give you my list of meme builds if you want. But sometimes when I'm not feeling soloq I use kindred, empathic connection, any means, quick gambit

[azure juniper]

Bro my entire 2v2 team is leaving me to fuckind ie

[rain sandal]

Is no holds barred, NOED, sloppy butcher, and bamboozle a good wraith build? I only have wraith and clown prestiged

[tepid sequoia]

weeping wounds since you're scourge hooking

[rugged berry]

I'd swap NoED out for Pop Goes the Weasel tbh.

NoED can very much be a crutch perk you over rely on

[spare bloom]

i don’t have weeping wounds

[cursive spoke]

Sure im tryna find something for bill

[rugged berry]

You'll find it in the bloodweb soon

[rain sandal]

Hmm okay I'll try that!

[flint kindle]

It’s a general perk, you’ll get it eventually

[spare bloom]

what about no holds barred is that good

[tepid sequoia]

boon build: circle of healing, shadow step, some combo of dark theory, small game/esp/detective's hunch, overzealous, counterforce
weaving spiders: ws, resilience, dead hard, empathic connection (warning: hard to play and needs decent teammates, use with caution)
chest build: specialist, appraisal, some combo of plunderer's, ace in the hole, streetwise, apocalyptic, moment of glory (preferably also bring a key and chest offering)
loop build, funny edition: object of obsession, quick gambit, any means, chem trap, swap any for resurgence/leader, last stand or we see you (except object) at will
funny kick bait build: blast mine, wire tap/fogwise, mirrored illusion, parental guidance/repressed alliance
bardic build: bardic, prove thyself, bond, still sight/1234/any other 4th

autodidact build: autodidact, 1234, aftercare/empathic, hyperfocus if you're good at greats, stake out or bardic if not
bunker build: chem trap, bada boom, blast mine, wire tap/any means
road life build: road life, hyperfocus, stake out, change of plan

@spare bloomsure

[flint kindle]

Why Empathic on the WS build

[versed gale]

Does springtraps jumpscare automatically down a survivor?

[flint kindle]

Axe Grabs and Door Interrupts both cause Springtrap to instantly pick up the Survivor

[tepid sequoia]

for the info for people in chase to (hopefully) not lead the killer to me. And also I found myself going for unhooks a lot while testing even though I'm broken, so the heal speed helps

[versed gale]

Also can you tell me how the camera thing works for springtrap?

[flint kindle]

Survivors can flick through the Door Cameras
If Springtrap is Undetectable they can stare at him to remove it and give a short aura reveal on him to all survivors

[versed gale]

Is there a way for springtrap to disable cameras or at least one camera?

[flint kindle]

No
But like Survivors pretty much never even use Cameras, they barely use Doors in the first place

[cursive spoke]

I like running windows of opportunity dead hard head on and dramaturgy I wanna replace something with head on though

[rugged berry]

He can throw his axe at the door to disable that camera @versed gale

[tepid sequoia]

mans has 3 exhaustion perks 🥀

[rustic carbon]

Survivors can interact with the doors to pull up a camera system across the doors. They can enter the door to teleport through like springtrap can. Also if they look at Springtrapwithin a certain radius long enough via a camera it will reveal his aura to all survivors for a decent ammount of time. You can tell when someone is looking at you via a static noise, and you can cut the camera feed by throwing your axe at the door. Camera feed can detect sprintrap through floors and walls too so take note of that.

If the survivor enters a door, Springtrap will grab them if he entered the same door or is moving to the same door they are.

[cursive spoke]

Trust me Ik how to run them 😭

[flint kindle]

Okay I discover a new mechanic to Cameras every-time I hear about them

[rugged berry]

It does

[rustic carbon]

The cameras also have a battery life that depletes the more the cameras and doors are used by the survivors. You can tell how much theyve been using them by the battery life

[rugged berry]

Well. Using more than 1 is typically either

1: you don't
Or
2: You're doing a challenge

@rancid ginkgo you cant see it in the end game scoreboard, but you can see it in the player profile

[flint kindle]

Fairly sure it doesn’t
There’s Emblems and they account for Tomes, but I have never seen a Grade change from 2v8

I specifically have the memory of being annoyed about the lack of Grade progress when last 2v8 happened

[rustic carbon]

grades arent effected by 2v8

[simple flower]

4v16 when?

[flint kindle]

Tell that to the person who asked it

[simple flower]

4v16 when man?

[versed gale]

Would it be a good idea to drop a chase and throw the axe at a camera if I hear static?

[rustic carbon]

I've rarely found a need for it honestly. Having your aura revealed does make the chase much harder though.

[versed gale]

So if I go through the same door the survivor did I grab them?

[rustic carbon]

Most survivors don't utilize the cameras outside of mobility due to the fact that theyd rather be working on a generator.

[flint kindle]

If a survivor is actively travelling through a door and you interact with a door, you grab them

[rustic carbon]

Yeah, or are currently moving to the same door the survivor is entering or exiting from

[versed gale]

I'd imagine that would be a very rare thing

[rustic carbon]

It happens more often than it used to tbh, but yeah its not too often.

Typically if they are using the doors to travel they are traveling to generators or where someone is hooked, which are the locations you are generally going to and from anyway

[versed gale]

What does the number on the doors mean? I could have sworn I saw a 3

[rustic carbon]

Camera numbers. Helps keep track of which door is which aswell.

Oh wait no not on the panel. The door numbers are written in blood on the door itself. The panel I am pretty sure is only relevant to the door button addon

That addon makes it so if you throw your axe at a door, it will exit through whatever door is numbers on the access panel

this one

[versed gale]

Are the door locations/numbers randomized or are they always in the same place on each map?

[rustic carbon]

Theres some RNG to it based on tile placement, and their locations will also change base on where the generators spawn. Main building door is typically in the same place regardless.

They are always near generators regardless.

A generator will always spawn in the main building and hence a door

[late obsidian]

Question why do people hate survivor stealth builds?

[rustic carbon]

They are usually run by rats who do nothing to value to the team or don't bother saving people

[spare bloom]

because they add no value to the team

[willow jolt]

My game still won't open after "initializing shaders," does anyone know what to do? I've already exited and restarted a thousand times and it didn't solve the problem.

[spare bloom]

left behind + quick and quiet + iron will + calm spirit + key

[spare bloom]

this is the most peak survivor build

[deep galleon]

i need game codes

[primal folio]

what do you mean exactly?

[rocky badge]

What do the Oni blood bubbles do?

[deep galleon]

codes to redeem

[primal folio]

Oni absobs them to charge his power/rage mode

[primal folio]

For what?

[rocky badge]

Thank you

[deep galleon]

nvm i got some

[jade bear]

Is it worth it to grind iri shards for skins? (I'm broke)

[primal folio]

You can't really "grind" shards, you gather them naturally as you play. There isn't a way to directly try and gain more.

How you spend your shards is up to you, but buying characters over skins is usually the better call.

[frigid sentinel]

what is the window for pallet save like at what point should you pull pallet

[primal folio]

Any time after the pickup animation is done.

If you throw it turing the animation, you're too early.

[rustic carbon]

Yeah it just doesn't work while they are in the pickup animation

[jade bear]

By that i meant nonstop playing just to level up over and over

[random gust]

does agitation make chucky faster then the survivor whilst carrying a survivor

[primal folio]

My answer is unchanged

[frigid sentinel]

oooooh i see im an idiot thanks

[rustic carbon]

its the same for flashlight saves. The blind has to happen after they finish the animation.

[smoky drum]

do the next set of rift quests drop tomorrow or tuesday?

[echo estuary]

Leather face or the lich?

[random gust]

leather face in terms of perks for sure

[smoky drum]

the lich in terms of joy and goodness

[proven jolt]

Hey is there anyone that han help me send a friend request? Im having hard time finding my friend even when I type their whole name including the friend number

[ebon osprey]

If a survivor uses a flashlight in the direction of another survivor, can it blind that survivor?

[echo estuary]

Ok thanks

[smoky drum]

no, but flashbangs can

[proven jolt]

nvm i got it lmao

[ebon osprey]

Ok thanks wanted to have another person confirm bc was debating

[vital jungle]

anybody else been having ping/packet loss issues on dbd today?

[pastel junco]

how do you unlock the class items and skills in 2v8??

[spare bloom]

should i buy bamboozol from the shrine or buy another killer/survivor

[rustic carbon]

use those shards to get clown himself so you can prestige him for all his perks lol

[spare bloom]

should i buy another character for its perks that are better than clowns

[rustic carbon]

Bamboozle and Pop are pretty good but umm.. Do you have artist yet? She has pain res which is the most popular killer perk in the game

[random gust]

whats a fast self heal build? currently running medkit with gel dressings and surgical suture. thinking hyperfocus for if i hit great skill checks, desperate measures, botany knowledge. does reslience count towards healingyourself?

[knotty rain]

is power struggle kill switched?

[primal folio]

Not to my knowledge, why?

[knotty rain]

i've had it on on several characters all day and get no prompt to drop pallet

[primal folio]

Killswitch means you wouldn't even be able to equip the perk in the first place, so that's not related here

Do you have a clip of this?

[knotty rain]

okay fair, but either way it's not activating even on a full bar

[empty sable]

Are you running it with the build to allow yourself to utilize it upon pickup?

[knotty rain]

having it on my at all should allow me to utilize it on pickup, no? like it doesn't need other perks to run it

[primal folio]

When you say 'full bar', specifically which bar?

[empty sable]

When you get picked up, you have zero wiggle progress. You need to build 15% wiggle progress to use the perk.

[knotty rain]

full recovery bar. It claims 15% is all that is necessary, but i'm fully recovered and when picked up there is no option to drop pallet

[primal folio]

Kim was right; power struggle doesn't care about your recovery bar.

It cares about the wiggle bar.

[knotty rain]

it's recovery not wiggle, right? did they change it? because it was recovery

[primal folio]

It was always wiggle.
People pair it with FlipFlop for this reason

FF converts recovery into wiggle progress.

[empty sable]

When you see people use Power Struggle upon pickup, they are using it in conjunction with Flip Flop and maybe other perks to help with recovery speed.

[knotty rain]

yeah, i was running it with that and didn't even realize cuz i was like holy cow flip flop is crap rofl

SO I TOOK IT OFF

[tepid sequoia]

Resilience counts, but it's an irrelevant buff. Only perks that meaningfully speed up self heals are botany and road life

[knotty rain]

and am now like...i hate this perk wtf? lol thank you guys for clearing me up ❤️

[errant kindle]

there’s some quirky setups you can do with things like solidarity and reactive healing

[late obsidian]

Heh get a load of this guy

[random gust]

is desperate measures only for other survivors? not yourself?

[marble hamlet]

when does the next killer get revealed?

[rustic carbon]

probably at the anniversary party

[marble hamlet]

when is that

[rose prairie]

Does anybody agree that dbd should fix matchmaking? I got put in a lobby with 2 p100 1 p65 and a p15. Im p1 and my highest p is 6. I dont care if they make killers lose every match I just wanna play against people my skill

[rustic carbon]

next month

[marble hamlet]

prestige does not equal skill level. matchmaking has never been good and you kind of have to deal with it, it’s even worse when 2v8 is out

[random gust]

having high prestiges generally dosent mean anything except theyve played longer then u

[rose prairie]

Yes while that is true I think skilled bases matchmaking doesn't really exist that much

[random gust]

definitly not. i can get put into a game with amazing teammates and a bad killer. or good kiler amazing teammates. or any which way situation

[rustic carbon]

Well it was on their roadmap of stuff they were gonna fix this year...

[random gust]

its useless

[rose prairie]

No

[marble hamlet]

i agree

[rustic carbon]

it has a use via comedic effect

[sour nebula]

When weskie comes back?

[errant kindle]

it’s for yourself but the speed is only better than botany at 3 injured

[random gust]

what if i run both though?

[errant kindle]

almost forgot, strength in shadows is technically way faster than self care and doesn’t need a medkit. but you do have to find the basement

[random gust]

ohhh forgot bout that perk

[errant kindle]

then you’re eating diminishing returns which is a questionable choice for a build imo. cos you’re already running botany, one of the perks is gonna eat a debuff

[random gust]

oh yeah. forgot bout that as well. gosh why did they introduce such a thing

[jade bear]

Is ghostface a cool killer that i should Buy?

[tiny flame]

It’s more of a future investment. It fucks over so, so many perk combos now, but in theory they plan on adding many stronger perks in the future than are currently in the game. With diminishing returns, you can have incredibly strong perks without making them overpowered when combining them with other perks

It’s not a terrible idea, but they implemented it horribly and it ruins a large amount of perk combos and variation in the game, leading to a lack of individuality and tunnelling everyone into running the same ten perks

[rustic carbon]

Hes one of the most popular in the game despite being one of the weakest.

[jade bear]

Should i buy him tho? :3

[storm lava]

cool mask trumps strength all day

[tiny flame]

If you want to win? No

[jade bear]

Fr? When strangers things chapter 2 ptb was on, i used the 10k auric cells to get ghostface, picked random perks and still won with only 4 gens left...

[tiny flame]

PTB means absolutely nothing. People are there to solely test out the new content, not to win lol

[jade bear]

Gah! Du that men people dai on pupose? 🥹

[tiny flame]

You were one of the rare people actually trying to win. 99% of people do not care and exclusively test the new perks, perk combos and the perk potential

[jade bear]

shucks

[errant kindle]

it means that people in ptb usually don’t sweat hard to win, they’re trying new stuff and wanna check out the game

[versed gale]

Is practicing against ais in the custom round thing a good way to get better at knowing a killer and the perks?

[tiny flame]

Yes, you 4k4ed people that completed one gen with the Dustin + Eleven perks, and then did nothing after that

[solemn umbra]

ptb is not that serious

[tiny flame]

I mean, to an extent. It will help you learn killers, their abilities, survivor perks, maps and respective pallet and window spawns. But it will not help you get any better, the bots are horrific

[versed gale]

Yeah but map knowledge is pretty handy

[astral zenith]

sometimes when i load into games i get a terrible connection and in just this last one the game like outright crashed, closed to home screen? is it like a bad server connection or what?

[errant kindle]

in order to get your bearings and know the maps yes

in terms of practical experience i would say after a certain point you’re better off playing against real players (once you’re familiar with the power and maps)

cos bots aren’t going to know every counterplay that you have to account for by actual players

[tiny flame]

If you want to learn the maps, have fun. It’s a great way to understand different spawns across the maps along with the map layout itself

[zenith zodiac]

Is The Twins good?

[loud warren]

whos a niche/not often played killer with a mid-high skill ceiling that I should main/p100 (preferably legendary skin or good skins)

[errant kindle]

very very strong killer

[tiny flame]

A+ killer, one of the best in the game

[astral zenith]

pig

[primal folio]

All killers are 'good' in that they're able to win at all levels of play. Beyond that, you'd have to clarify what you mean

[zenith zodiac]

Ok

[errant kindle]

twins, singularity, the first

very very powerful killers but not super popular

[zenith zodiac]

Wait I thought people said The Twins are buggy?

[errant kindle]

at times yeah

but when they function they’re super oppressive

[tiny flame]

Victor can be at times. Certainly not the buggiest killer however

[versed gale]

How many maps are in the game?

[errant kindle]

oh also krasue

she’s pretty strong but very niche and unpopular

[zenith zodiac]

Houndmaster I think

[carmine halo]

Why is my perk called sole survivor from Laurie strode but my friend has it called down to the last but it’s a default perk?

[errant kindle]

it’s because laurie is no longer in the store so all her perks were renamed and put in the generic bloodweb. if you own laurie the name didn’t change

[tiny flame]

I believe 57 total maps, but that includes variations, like Badham I - V

[carmine halo]

Ahhh very cool but was tripping out lol

[versed gale]

Holy shoot, would it be a wise idea to learn the pallet spawns first or just map layout first?

[primal folio]

General map layouts will be your best bet. Pallet locations will come hand in hand with that knowledge.

[rustic carbon]

Krasue off the top of my head

[tiny flame]

Certainly the map layout, as Madous advised. Pallet spawns are integral, however the general map layout and common strong loops will be paramount and provide you greater benefit

[errant kindle]

i think pallet spawn and specifically like, pattern recognition is important. for example a lot of maps have these generic tiles that play the same but technically look different and getting to know the different shapes that tiles can spawn is important so you can recognise where the windows and pallets are and how to play around them

[tiny flame]

You will learn common pallet spawns via learning the map layout itself, and you’ll come to find many pallets have common identifiable locations, or certain spawns, like shack pallet for example

[rugged flume]

what a good loadout for dracula? (i have nemesis and artist p1ed)

[cursive marten]

If a survivor dies, does thanatophobia's second effect stop working for the rest of the match or are they still counted?

[primal folio]

Correct

[rustic carbon]

Yeah. This is way its generally regarded as a terrible perk

[cursive marten]

I see... ty

[tiny flame]

I 100% agree, however I would say if you’re staunchly against tunnelling and like spreading hook stages, it can be an incredibly strong perks on certain killers. Kaneki for example

[rugged berry]

Ehh

Only Plague can really use it well imo, Kaneki can't spread the injuries fast enough. And theres counterplay for Legion to run it

Plague is "suffer a Penti debuff or give me power"

[errant kindle]

if you play against thana plague, is the play to just everyone cleanse simultaneously?

[tiny flame]

I think that’s fair, though I can definitely see utilizing it on Kaneki. Of course I’m not saying this as an end all be all, but for an example, Hens is a major supporter of Thana and loves it on Kaneki, often shifting his playstyle around it

I personally wouldn’t use it, but it can definitely see significant use

[rugged berry]

Not to mention opportunity cost and also comfort for builds

I aint taking out Brutal, Coup, or Batteries outta my legion build anytime soon. And im not using my 1 slowdown on Thana

[rugged flume]

is lethal, eruption, grim, and pain res a good build for dracula

[rustic carbon]

all they have to do is keep one person healed. Its primarily effective on Plague and noone else really. Used to be really funny with slowdown stacking builds but returns threw that out

[tiny flame]

That’s tough to say really. I would say it depends on how the game is going. Preventing her power will always be the optimal playstyle, if you’re suffering from Thana heavily and Plague is ending most chases quickly whilst you’re broken, I would cleanse

[errant kindle]

i would replace grim for something else like bbq or replace lethal for corrupt but it’s pretty good as it is

[rugged flume]

the only killers i have p1ed are artist and nemesis, so im pretty limitied

[rustic carbon]

I dont think you can really go wrong with a dracula build

[tiny flame]

That’s definitely true. It’s certainly not the greatest perk on Kaneki, but when paired with Rize’s Glasses and an aura perk like Barbecue, I do genuinely think it often has viable use

Largely due to Kaneki’s mobility and ability to get a very easy tag, of course

[hollow osprey]

anyone have an effective oni build that utilizes unforeseen? so far im thinking unforeseen, erupt, no where to hide, and lethal... but i think its too gen kick reliant (also dont know what to sub)

[tiny flame]

Unlike the majority of other killers, he can easily traverse opposite side of the maps, not suffering innately from such a diversion. Certainly not the most optimal, but still viable

[marble moth]

why are we dead by daylight

[lost parrot]

Bruh am I able to appeal a match making ban, because I've been disconnected from literally every game that isn't the annoying 2v8 and now I have a 15 minute ban, I got disconnect and all the game has to say is "Server not responding; disconnecting"

[primal folio]

Disconnect timeouts unfortunately cannot be appealed

[lost parrot]

I didn't disconnect, I was having a good game and had no reason to

[primal folio]

"Server not responding; disconnecting"

[errant kindle]

a generic gen kick build is pretty fine for oni, if you think k you can play the early game without lethal then you can replace with something like pop or call of brine for more gen pressure, or maybe overcharge to know potentially when a gen is touched

[tiny flame]

The issue with Unforseen on Oni is that you will always have a general idea of where he is. Especially while enraged, you will always hear him long before you see him. But you could implement a silent Billy kind of build. Something like Unforseen, Mindbreaker, Machine Learning and Fortune’s Fool

[lost parrot]

I didn't open my pause menu and press quit, so I didn't disconnect or alt f4 or anything, I was having a good game, downed a person, and then it looped that for a second and then the game said the server wasn't responding and that I disconnected. I've been having issues like that in literally anything that isn't 2v8 and it's god awful annoying, I actually can't play this game without wanting to blow my shit off smooth

[primal folio]

Please don't reference self-harm

[lost parrot]

That's how 2v8 has me feeling because that's all this game is letting me play

[hollow osprey]

i have the bear skin he will growl and make them tremble

[tiny flame]

This build really offers a full range of use regarding undetectable and kicking gens. Kicking a gen will allow you to both gain Unforseen and apply Machine Learning, most optimal on gens that have significant progress or are primary gens that will be popped. Mindbreaker prevents aura, minimizing info whilst survivors are on gens along with preventing exhaustion perks like SB to avoid Oni’s dash and Fortune’s Fool for additional undetectable and less info

But to warn once again, it’s going to be relatively ineffective on Oni due to his dash limitations and noise, but it does mimic the silent Billy build, minus the speed and lesser noise that Billy produces

[tiny flame]

I would be shivering in fear

I love Oni, I wish people actually played him outside of comp lol

[plucky helm]

Is Champion of light, windows, lithe and quick gambit a good build? what should i replace

[hollow osprey]

i never really enjoyed other killers besides blight, but when i quit and came back to the game i didnt enjoy blight as much. tried oni and worked through the skill curve and then started loving him

[tiny flame]

I’d say the only perk worth keeping there is Lithe. Everything else is an extremely weak perk and could be replaced with much stronger and more useful perks

[hollow osprey]

i use champ, sb, vigil, and five moves ahead. good for having fun

@tiny flamei tried out unforeseen, eruption, corrupt, and infectious just now and got a 4k off it

was really fun. im pretty sure i made a nancy shit her pants.

got my undetectable and then grabbed her off a gen 😂

[tiny flame]

Definitely a very strong build. Again, not the absolute most optimal, but certainly viable

[hollow osprey]

honestly before i was running corrupt, pain res, eruption, and infectious. it was nice to switch it up at least a little from pain res.

pain res is a good perk but it has like no engaging play to it lol

[tiny flame]

I’m a big fan of Infectious on Oni actually. I never see it used on anyone

[plucky helm]

i ain wanna buy quentin just for vigil ngl 😭

[hollow osprey]

you get crazy value from it even if you dont go immediately to someone else after a down

[hollow osprey]

may as well wait for it in shrine then. if youre on steam a ton of the dlcs are on sale

[tiny flame]

I love it on Blight when I’m not running full meta. Really anyone with strong chase ability like Blight, Dracula, Singularity, Oni, Billy and many more benefit greatly, along snowball killers like Bubba

[tiny flame]

Who do you have? I can build you some decent builds

[maiden blade]

So um question, did the Diminishing Returns thing still diminish negatives in live?

Also where can I find what perks it effects? cause I hear its not all of them for some reason

[royal swan]

Is there an any way to turn down the flashing effect from Dredge's ability or no 😭

[leaden crown]

is brutal on legion bad if im using button?

[lime ivy]

Does deminishing returnes mean that using “the firsts” gen destruction ability which will also triger “the clowns” gen desyructive ability do less damage

[primal folio]

Perks don't trigger other perks, no.

[rugged berry]

Yes

And most things that have the same effect and applied at the same time

@royal swan no

@leaden crown yeah cause you can just frenzy, vault, catch up, end frenzy

@lime ivy no. Gen regression isn't affected. But also you can't use Turn Back the Clock and Pop Goes the Weasel at the same thing

@primal folio Deminishing returns. Madous, not "does tbtc activte pop"

Oh wait didn't fully read it myself

[primal folio]

Right, I understood the question but DR doesn't apply in such a way regardless

[lime ivy]

The ranged damage gen perk doesnt also use pop goes the weasle? Does it waste the use of pop goes the weasle wor will it trigger on the next gen i hit

[maiden blade]

So like how does Diminishing returns effect the classic Vault Singularity build? Bam, Sup, Fire, and ext

[primal folio]

As you'd expect. All listed perks here apply the same effect (bonus vault speed) and are diminished.

[rugged berry]

Tbtc is its own "generator explode" action and needs a different button compared to the "kick gen" button

[maiden blade]

Alright, makes since. Didnt know if it was diferent cause sup has a triggered condition

[primal folio]

Trigger isn't checked; just the bonus it provides.

[maiden blade]

Ah ok, RIP my favorite Singu build

[primal folio]

(Anything more than SupAnat felt like a waste to me anyways)

[maiden blade]

eh, you can get free shack kills pretty easy with the whole setup, its pretty nice

It's kinda annoying 😔

[plush moat]

Allegedly within next 3-4 weeks

Nothing confirmed, but there is a way to use in-game information to get the approximate release dates for new chapters

[thick sedge]

Genuine question, can someone explain to me what some people mean by "clock" still kinda new to dbd

[plush moat]

This is a call-out system made by comp players to coordinate their actions as precisely as possible

They divide all maps into 12 pieces, similar to numbers on a clock with 12 being the “north” of the map (usually where the main building is but not always).

[thick sedge]

Ahhhh, cool. thank you boss man

[rain dove]

are there any good stealth killers?

[plush moat]

Myers, Chucky, Springtrap (kinda), Wraith

[rain dove]

what makes springtrap stealthy?

[primal folio]

Onryo as well

[plush moat]

He has 20s of undetectable after coming out of a door

No Madous, I’m sorry but no

[rain dove]

ic ic, ty!

[primal folio]

If Afton gets auto-undetectable out of doors and counts, then Onryo counts for getting auto-undet. out of TVs

[glad linden]

who should i buy killer, i alrdy buy the first, nemesis, wesker the knight and the plague

[jade bear]

XENOMORPH, ANIMATRONIC AND GHOUL SUPREMACY IS REAAAAAAAAAAAL

[formal turtle]

what survivor perk brings the gen progress down?

like the total amount thats needed

[slender kernel]

fast track

[formal turtle]

wasnt it nerfed alot recently?

[slender kernel]

stiull pretty good

[tiny flame]

Yes, it’s terrible now. Don’t use it

[formal turtle]

i love how once i started to play more survivor rather than killer all the stuff was nerfed :p

[icy raft]

weaving spiders

[tiny flame]

You will get at most 15 - 20% progress from it per game. Using an entire perk for 15 seconds of gen progress is not worth it. Simply work on a gen for over 15 seconds and you get more worth than Fast Track the entire game

[inner cliff]

any music fellers know what genre lee yun jin's lobby music is?

[pearl tinsel]

id say some sort of electronic music

i know thats a pretty broad genre

[inner cliff]

its a start. thanks

[slender kernel]

nice math

[tiny flame]

Thank you for the compliment. It’s quite rudimentary, you’ll be able to learn in no time

[slender kernel]

not actually

[cerulean dust]

Des francais ou pas?

[plush moat]

English only please

[cerulean dust]

My bad

[tiny flame]

Well 15% takes 13.5 seconds from 0.15(90) while 20% takes 18 seconds from 0.2(90). Average them out via (13.5 + 18)/2 and you get 15.75 seconds

Once you reach the fourth grade you’ll be mastering it in no time!

[slender kernel]

15% is only 3 hooks, promise any1 with half a brain is going to live long enough for more then that lol

[tiny flame]

Read the perk description

[tiny flame]

Also, it’s than*, not then. Than is used for comparison, then is used to represent continuity

[slender kernel]

you read it lol

[torn narwhal]

Also you need to unhook a survivor in order to get a token. There are 3 more survivors in the game and they don't know that you have this perk or maybe they have it themselves so they wouldn't wait for you to unhook. And in some situations you can't go for unhook at all, for example if you injured or dead-on-hook

[tiny flame]

Thank for you using some critical thinking, Quinavi

[plush moat]

I mean they should know, the question is whether they will

[torn narwhal]

True. But personally I think that survivors wouldn't get used to this change soon, we need some time

[tiny flame]

If you’re in a solo queue, good luck. SWF, it’s much better but then again, you have to rely on not being tunnelled out (very common in high MMR), not being in chase while someone is on hook and also not being hooked at the same time as a teammate

Some games you’ll be able to get zero unhooks, others six. You’re probably averaging a solid three if you make a good effort

[rustic carbon]

Solo queue is actually great becaus you can blame all of your problems on other people rather than owning the fact that you are a half naked sable predopping every pallet on the map at 4 gens

[slender kernel]

soloq is not that bad yo

[torn narwhal]

Predropping is good and even necessary in some situations. Don't say it like this is the worst thing to do

[rustic carbon]

Im talking that dipshit who predrops shack immedietly at 4-5 gens

[slender kernel]

its good sometimes but he said every pallet so

[rustic carbon]

The point is many people will play like ass or make mistakes and then just go "fuckin solo queue man its so bad"

[tiny flame]

Fuck you, shack pallet is no better than any other god/safe pallet

[random gust]

tell him james

[slender kernel]

james got some L takes

[torn narwhal]

If you the first survivor who is being chased then you should play as safe as possible. While killer bothering breaking every predropped pallet other 3 your teammates are doing gens. Its very hard to get this situation later in game when all 3 survivors are on the gens because someone will be on hook, other will go for unhook, then they need to heal.

So dropping shack pallet later will not give you so much gen progress as early on. Don't greed it

[tiny flame]

So does every comp player to ever touch this game apparently

[rustic carbon]

Youre missing the point

[random gust]

[slender kernel]

sum like that

[rustic carbon]

It was not a good example perhaps but still

[tiny flame]

I definitely get what he means, and it does happen. Cough cough Windows users cough cough

But I will 10/10 times drop shack at 5 gens if I am looping there as it means (or at least should) that three gens will pop for the initial chase

[jade bear]

Since i'm getting wesker when anni discounts come... I wanna ask... How tf do people do these techs where they just suddenly change direction mid dash just cus they stick to a wall

[jade bear]

HOW TF IS THAT POSSIBLE 😭😭😭

[tiny flame]

HUG TECH

If you’re good enough, you could actually replicate that without fail. It’s difficult, but with practice you’ll be able to

[jade bear]

Cool

[rustic carbon]

Wesker mains are actual fucking masterminds

[torn narwhal]

You saying that predropping shack at the 4-5 gen is bad. But why? Ok, you will greed it for later and take a hit and eventually a down. Now other 3 survivors can't work on the gens at the same time, someone will need to go for unhook, then killer will tunnel you and since you didn't prolongate first chase good enough, survivors will not finish many gens in time. And now you will get tunneled out and killed on 3 gens left just because you greeded shack and first chase was short.

If you telling that dropping shack at 4-5 gen isn't good choice then when it would be a better time to drop it? If you the first survivor being chased that probably means that survivor will tunnel you out of the game. So leaving shack pallet for tunneled person isn't a smart choice because you gonna be the tunneled person. Then why do you want to leave shack pallet for later? When you dropping shack at the start you will give like 20 free seconds to 3 gens because 3 survivors are working on them. Later if you will drop shack while being tunneled it will save like 20 seconds to one gen because other survivors are bothered by unhooking and healing.

I just don't understand what is the point in not dropping pallet immediately, why it is better to leave it for later?

[rustic carbon]

For fucks sake

[tiny flame]

Put the reading glasses on

[rustic carbon]

My point is that people who play poorly and make mistakes and instead of learning they blame solo queue.

[simple steeple]

-# is it that deep?

[tiny flame]

It is

[torn narwhal]

That's true, i fully agree with this

[slender kernel]

if you gotta use it then use it no point in predropping it if your perfectly fine anyway

[tiny flame]

Nobody argued that

[spare gust]

Best add ons for Deathslinger besides coin?

[dry sage]

im not really sure what "marked elements" "surfaced objects" and "highlighted" mean in the scratch mark customization menu. can anyone explain them to me please?

[torn narwhal]

If I have enough distance to reach another safe tile or to run around shack one or two times — i will do it. But if not dropping shack pallet will give me even a small chance of getting hit — i will drop it immediately, just to play as safiest as possible because first chase is insanely important, i just can't allow myself to risk getting hit early

[simple steeple]

his reload speed, missed shot and chain break cooldown reduction add ons
anything else is pretty meh or downright bad
looking at you reel speed increase

[lusty river]

did the hindered flash perk work wit hbangs aswell? just kinda double checkign sorry for the stupid question 😭

[plush moat]

Yes

It even works with Blastmine albeit that’s completely useless

[torn narwhal]

You mean Champion Of Light? Yes, it works on any blind, even with flashbangs and blastmine

[slender kernel]

word

[stone pier]

Anybody have a good trapper build, also is there a certain way to place traps at pallets survivors keep squeezing through them

[lusty river]

alright thx my plan is to use it when theyre breaking the paller so i can get away :3c

[torn narwhal]

Agitation, Corrupt, Pain Res, Save The Best For Last (Keep Them Waiting)

[idle copper]

do i get something from tomes?

[lusty river]

you can

[plush moat]

Bloodpoints, charms, banners and badges

[idle copper]

i dont see it to be worth it

[plush moat]

You can just do the easy ones passively

If you don’t want more bps you might as well not

[tiny flame]

^^ Free bloodpoints for doing nothing out of the ordinary

[idle copper]

i have all the banners and badges i want, and im not in need of BP

[plush moat]

Okay

[torn narwhal]

You need to place traps like this, at the edge of the pallet. Try to set them right in the middle so survivors will not be able so squeeze from left side of right. And never set traps under the pallet itself, otherwise survivors can just drop a pallet and vault over your trap

[stone pier]

Ty good sir

[empty sable]

"Marked elements" would refer to when you as the player mark something directly, like with a killer power, think like marking tunnels with The Xenomorph. "Surfaced objects" refers to when an objects aura is presented in a non-progress colours due to perks or modifiers, think like a perk like Surveillance activating on a gen. "Highlighted" refers to when looking and pointing at specific selectable objects, the aura colour changes, think of something like reading Dredge's teleport to lockers.

[fleet kestrel]

is only getting a 2k on aveage as a kiler in high MMR lobby normal against very skilled survivors or am i just playing very bad?

[dry lake]

no 2k is pretty evenly balanced

[tiny flame]

That’s a draw lol. Neither good nor bad

[errant scroll]

Anybody else have camera issues with The Nemesis while using the Nemesis Origins cosmetic?

[pallid mango]

is the japan ghost good

[vagrant needle]

if i wanna have enough cakes until the next anniversary on a survivor how many should i get before i stop?

[pearl tinsel]

you mean spirit? yes, shes a very strong killer

[errant scroll]

Which one? There's three. Oni, Onryō, and Spirit.

[pallid mango]

the hiroshima phantom

[pearl tinsel]

that doesnt really help narrow it down

can you describe what they look like

[pallid mango]

I mean the tokyo ghoul

[errant scroll]

Ah, Spirit. Well, her skill ceiling is quite high for her power, but she's a very strong killer if you have great hearing

[vagrant needle]

where did ghost come from

[pearl tinsel]

ohhhh the ghoul. Yeah he is pretty strong

[errant scroll]

OHHH, that one. He's OP as heck.

[pallid mango]

im such a dumbass bro goodbye

[jade bear]

Is xenomorph strong? Or at best what tier would you put him in? Cuz yk... I'm buying him on Anni discount

[pearl tinsel]

id personally put im pretty comfortably in the middle, at most upper middle

[jade bear]

U mean high A or Just A

[pearl tinsel]

probably high B to low A

[errant scroll]

Xenomorph is pretty powerful. Its tail attack can arc over body blocking survivors, and can be angled up or down. Pretty good for when survivors try to crouch it.

[pearl tinsel]

but opinions on what tier a killer is on can differ

[tiny flame]

He’s definitely only B+. He shares very little in common with A tier kills

[carmine ore]

Can you leave the trial with victor?

[zealous loom]

Only through Hatch.

[carmine ore]

Bro this guy walked out the exit gate in my endgame😑

[torn narwhal]

No, you need to get rid of him in order to leave through the gates. But you can leave through hatch tho with Victor

[carmine ore]

Wow i got robbed wtf

[tiny flame]

They simply threw him off and left lol

[carmine ore]

He was fully attached the throw animation takes time

[tiny flame]

Then report it as a bug to Behaviour, but I’m telling you he threw it off lol

[torn narwhal]

It might be a bug but I'm not sure. Do you have a clip?

[dry sage]

awesome that makes sense now thank you!

[empty sable]

of course!

[carmine ore]

This game😭😭😭

[tiny flame]

Oh, he left at the exact same time lol

[torn narwhal]

It shouldn't be possible to leave with Victor. Maybe because Victor got attached at the same time as he was leaving but i'm not sure

[primal folio]

I do see one potential problem

[pallid mango]

He took your twin too 😭

[dry lake]

depends on how many games u play i think but im curious for the answer too

[torn narwhal]

You probably right, that might be a ping issue

[primal folio]

The game likely didn't have time to register that Vic was latched, Jake escaped a fraction of a second fast enough

[vagrant needle]

i finally got my p100 kwon so i wanted to feed him cakes easily when the anniversary hit

[carmine ore]

Yeaa fs actually

There goes the streak💔

[torn narwhal]

Btw, i checked if opening a chest counts as a conspicuous action or not. You were right, it doesn't. I opened the chest and picked an item but I didn't lost my Endurance

[primal folio]

Appreciate the confirmation

[pallid mango]

does anyone even play the knight

[primal folio]

Yes

[torn narwhal]

At least Pixie who is the Knight main. And sometimes I'm facing Knights but they are rare

[tiny flame]

I had three in a row earlier lol

[scarlet verge]

Y’all if I buy the casting of frank stone/hooked on u on steam but I have a ps4, and I never play those games, but I link my steam to my bhvr account do I still get the rewards in dbd

[vagrant needle]

if i wanna have enough cakes until the next anniversary on a survivor how many should i get before i stop?

[pearl tinsel]

well that depends if you want to use a cake in every single match

then you'll probably need a lot

but if you only plan on using them every once in a while, a few hundred would be a good number

[vagrant needle]

ill be using a couple each day

until the next anniversary

[pearl tinsel]

if we round up to say 3 a day every single day until next anniversary, you'd need roughly 1095 cakes

2 a day, 730

[vagrant needle]

so if i wanna be safe maybe 1600?

[pearl tinsel]

but id say its kind of unrealistic to use cakes every single day though

[pearl tinsel]

i mean its up to you how many you wanna go for, but i honestly dont think you'd need that many in general

its only really worth it to use the cakes when stacking them with others

and not just by itself

[vagrant needle]

it's because some days ill be playing more than other days

[pearl tinsel]

then go for 1600

you'll definitely need to grind for that though

[vagrant needle]

i have a p100 kwon i wanna get the cakes on so it shouldn't take more than maybe a month right?

[pearl tinsel]

the anniversary event wont be on for a month

[vagrant needle]

since level 50 blood web + cake stacking

[pearl tinsel]

if its like last year, itll probably be 3 weeks

since you only get 2 cakes per lvl50 bloodweb, you'll need to go through 800 bloodwebs

[vagrant needle]

oh wow

[pearl tinsel]

and its not even guaranteed you'll get 2 per bloodweb on survivor since i assume we will be getting anniversary items as well

[vagrant needle]

ig ill just save blood points rn for anniversary

[pearl tinsel]

theres still over a month until the anniversary

[vagrant needle]

what do i not get bp from when i reach 5m?

[pearl tinsel]

the cap of 5 mil counts for bloodpoints earned in matches. you can earn above the cap from gifted bp like from tome challenges, grade reset, weekly gift etc

but if you have earned all 5 million bp from matches, you will not gain more by playing games

[vagrant needle]

so cake stacking does absolutely nothing if im already at 5m?

[pearl tinsel]

if some of it is gifted bp, you can still earn from matches

[vagrant needle]

what does gifted mean

[pearl tinsel]

but keep an eye on your bp count, because if it doesnt go up after a match ends, you have reached the earnable cap

[pearl tinsel]

like i mentioned, weekly gift, grade reset, tome challenges etc

anything not earned from playing matches

[vagrant needle]

is it worth to save bp for anniversary or just p3 everyone

[pearl tinsel]

i dont think its worth it to save up already now

[vagrant needle]

alr

[pearl tinsel]

you dont have to spend all your bp, but working towards the p3 is a good idea for the long run

you can just spend a few mil

[vagrant needle]

do we have any info for the anni or will we be left in the dark until its close

[pearl tinsel]

we dont know anything yet. All we know is that its gonna be a new theme and not the masquerade theme we had the past few years

[vagrant needle]

will i still be able to get the masquerade outfit for aestri yazar in the shop for anni?

[pearl tinsel]

That I don’t know, since they aren’t doing the masquerade theme anymore

[vagrant needle]

i really hope they do 😭

[pearl tinsel]

Maybe in the future it will be available for purchase

[simple steeple]

no news on the masks being a code like how the crowns were?

[pearl tinsel]

Nothing official has been said about it

[tulip mural]

hi so i got 30h on spirit and just now heard about dbds audio settings can someone tell me which settings i should use

[pearl tinsel]

It differs from person to person. Experiment and see what works for you and your setup

[dry lake]

a few 100?!

[pearl tinsel]

Well they said they wanted to be stocked for the whole year

[dry lake]

wtf x.x...how long would that take? and would u recommend getting it on survivor/killer?

[pearl tinsel]

People usually stack up on hundreds of cakes

[pearl tinsel]

It’s much faster to get on killer since survivors blood webs also have items

[dry lake]

interesting, idk how to go on about this but i main wesker/huntress

[pearl tinsel]

Get some when the event starts, use them, then you get a lot of bp. Then use that bp to get even more

You’ll definitely get more than you spend

[dry lake]

do i need to p100?

[pearl tinsel]

You dont have to

Don’t worry, the cakes will flow in when you begin playing the event

[royal swan]

Is the blood point cap raised? I'm at 5mil + 11k

[dry lake]

alright ty, i just want enough bp to p3 everyone i actually want/play :/ i dont need to p100 anyone

[pearl tinsel]

The 5 mil cap is for earned bloodpoints. You can get above the cap with gifted bloodpoints from weekly gift, grade reset, challenges etc

[royal swan]

Ahh okay

[pearl tinsel]

You will definitely get a lot to prestige a bunch of them

Everyone is gonna be stacking cakes

[dry lake]

DnD chapter or nicholas cage?

[pearl tinsel]

Nic cage has the better perks

[supple cypress]

Hey I need help, I've played before but I'm on a new account and I have no idea who to play for killer and it's frustrating. ;-; I have the Xbox special edition with no bought characters

[pearl tinsel]

You should play whoever you find fun

[dry lake]

do u know if anniversay also discounts DLC bundles or just ingame

[pearl tinsel]

I believe DLCs will also go on sale

[supple cypress]

May I have a suggestion of who to at least try, (not HAG never HAG)

[pearl tinsel]

I personally really like Huntress

[supple cypress]

Alright thanks, I'll try her then maybe nurse or wraith

[pearl tinsel]

Wraith is definitely the most beginner friendly of the base killers

[torn narwhal]

Nurse is one of the hardest killers to play. It's ok if you will do badly with her

[royal swan]

You learn Nurse by continuing to be awful at her 😎

[supple cypress]

I've played her before like 2 years ago so unless she had a big mechanic change I should be decent, but I have horrible aim

[pearl tinsel]

She hasn’t had any major changes in those years from what I remember

[old lynx]

how did the artist damage me with a dire crow on my first hit? she did it twice in one loop

[pearl tinsel]

If you are close enough to the crow when she fires it, it will immediately damage you

There is a somewhat cloudy effect in the trajectory where it will damage

[supple cypress]

One last question for the night/day, who should I put a decent amount of blood points to I have 365,573

[old lynx]

unless you want addons/offerings for a specific character, the only thing that matters is increasing their prestige

[supple cypress]

Alr thanks 👍

[plush moat]

That line is only visible to the killer

[pearl tinsel]

The killer can see the white line, but there is also a much weaker and sorta warped effect in front of the crows

[plush moat]

Oh really?

Is there a picture of that?

[pearl tinsel]

Only thing I can compare it to is it’s sort of like wraiths shimmer

[pearl tinsel]

I can’t find a picture right now but I maybe can when I get home

[royal swan]

If I don't have a timer on a 2v8 queue do I need to requeue? D:

[dry lake]

is yui's breakout stackable? people were wiggling out way faster and easier than i expected :/

[old lynx]

i think it's stackable because the speed of "wiggle" is affected by diminishing returns

so with two people it's like a 37.5% increase

[dry lake]

so 25+12.5+6.25?

[supple cypress]

Is Chucky still good?

[dry lake]

43.75% with beamers and sabotages, was agonizing to play against
not to mention the body blocks...

[old lynx]

yep if all three people are present, you have nearly half the time

@supple cypress chucky is just as mediocre as ever

[dry lake]

i love that people lose distance by being toxic by crouch spamming after pallet stuns and window vaults

[zealous loom]

👉 #game-discussion

[supple cypress]

Alright thank you, honestly I might spend like 100k blood points on the nurse and see how she still feels. But once I get money I'ma probably go for Chucky or executioner. Y'all got any thoughts or maybe changes I should do for better starting

[dry lake]

how do you get the gold flashlight? is it from an event?

[pseudo sedge]

Old event items

[supple cypress]

Wasn't it from Halloween or smth

[fair lion]

Is there a perk that allows you to see the aura of a survivor when you start chasing them and then stop, and they have an aura or at least similar perks?

[dry lake]

predator from wraith

[supple cypress]

Predator (mb)

[zealous loom]

That's from the Halloween events. They are available in the Bloodweb during the event, but it is possible to obtain them if you play Survivor, and someone brings one for you.

[dry lake]

oh..but u can lose it if u die with it?

[zealous loom]

Yes, which is why it's advisable to also bring the White Ward offering. This offering protects whatever item you are currently holding on to when you die. If you didn't have that item in your hand originally, it's added to your inventory. This is how I got Year 5 event items on Claudette, for example.

[dry lake]

can lightborn be considered a crutch

[supple cypress]

Btw it's super easy to activate, chase them then take like a step or two back and it works

[zealous loom]

All perks are crutches.

Perks are there to assist you in your gameplay and reach whatever goal you set for yourself.

[fair lion]

omg thats the thing i needed 100%, i have an idea for ghost face build to take Olsen's diary and then make them think u abandoned them mid chase hide around the corner and then lunge. is that a good idea tho

[dry lake]

like how most people consider windows to be a crutch, i mean like that

[fair lion]

thx

[dry lake]

it can be a jumpscary build but ghosty is a weak killer regardless

[fair lion]

well im on a broad mmr rn so its not a problem

[zealous loom]

Same answer. People throw the 'this is a crutch' and 'that is a crutch' around like confetti. But all perks are crutches. They are supports for your gameplay, to get you from A to B. Exactly what crutches do.

[fair lion]

ghost is a fun to play killer

[fair lion]

shall i take coup de grace for this build?

[dry lake]

there's a streamer who does a myers jumpscare build you can probably copy and alter it for ghosty

[fair lion]

u can take ghosty from ability, and myers have 0 terror radius, i think his build wont work

[dry lake]

coup de Grace works since you m1 with ghost gace

[fair lion]

thx a lot

[fair lion]

do u know any good stealth perks? i have to switch with furtive chase

i have hex: fortunes fool, overture of doom. scourge: pain res and i have to change furtive chase

when ill get wraith p ill switch overture with predator

[plush moat]

Secret Project with almost any gen block perk

Don’t use Overture, it’s arguably the worst hex perk in the game

[pearl tinsel]

Honestly switch out overture of doom with either Trail of Torment or Unforeseen

Unforeseen is a much better, non-hex overture of doom

[fair lion]

i was thinking about how to realise it, like i have no terror, they hear terror, they run from gen i catch em

[pearl tinsel]

For that you’d wanna use Unforeseen

[plush moat]

Overture has too many conditions to bring you any value

And even if it does, survivors can literally pinpoint its location once they figure it out

[fair lion]

i dont even think ANYONE know about krasue's perks

[plush moat]

That’s the only saving grace this perk has

[fair lion]

might be worst and least usable perks in whole game

[tepid sequoia]

Undone, two can play

[fair lion]

i once seen two can play and never seen any of krasue's perks

[tepid sequoia]

Ravenous is fun

[indigo aurora]

I'm a Wandering Eye believer. It's another really fun one

[lost inlet]

Is Wesker still kill switched

[tepid sequoia]

Interesting. I've been thinking but never been able to think of a single use for the perk

[indigo aurora]

I really like it on Vecna 2. I don't know if I would call it good, but he's my favorite user of it

[pearl tinsel]

Yes he is

[tepid sequoia]

Of course it's a nurse and henry perk lmao

[indigo aurora]

A lot of short range aura perks tend to be. For what it's worth, of the other killers I play, the only other one who would make decent use of Wandering Eye would be Singularity, but Singularity already has very good close range tracking. I just have a small killer pool IG

Just reading the perk, I can see it being pretty decent on Chucky, but I don't play Chucky so I couldn't say for certain

[lime ivy]

Ok tysm

[hybrid trench]

I have a question

[torn narwhal]

Feel free to ask

[hybrid trench]

Who should i buy I already have Ghostface and Springtrap im looking to get someone with good perks.

Im currently eyeing Nemesis, Freddy and Onryo

[torn narwhal]

Nemesis and The First have the best perks among licensed killers

[hybrid trench]

Aren't freddies good?

[dry lake]

Nemesis has eruption and lethal pursuer, very good perks + is overall a pretty fun and decently strong killer

[torn narwhal]

Kinda mid. Onryo's perks are much better

[dry lake]

it can be but it's mostly around endgame, you don't get value from them unless you have a full endgame build and about to lose

[hybrid trench]

Hmmm

Well im a springtrap main who dabbles in a little ghostface so with that in mind should i get nemi?

[dry lake]

blood warden is arguably the strongest endgame perk especially when combined with noed and/or no way out

[tepid sequoia]

Blood warden is his weskest perk lol

[dry lake]

really? but in terms of endgame

[tepid sequoia]

Yes

[gray iris]

Blood warden is goated.

[plush moat]

I’d argue it’s the opposite

[toxic wedge]

Question, does anyone know why my game keeps crashing after the new update? It only crashes whenever I press my window key, alt tab, and when I try to change the screen size in game

[timber iris]

remember me - the best endgame-prolonging perk, probably tied with no way out
fire up - very solid alternative to brutal strength, slightly weakened by diminishing returns but you can build around that
call of brine - okay in specifically genkick builds, but diminishing returns also nerfed its best combo (overcharge)
floods of rage - okay info perk, works well with jagged compass but other on-hook info is often better
blood warden - kind of a meme, kinda funny when it works but hard to activate
merciless storm - also a meme, mostly just on doctor and even then, not that strong

thats how id rank them

[tepid sequoia]

Cuz new update doodoo performance wise. They had an engine update

[toxic wedge]

Is there a way to fix it or anything? None of my friends are experiencing it

[tepid sequoia]

Idk

[tepid sequoia]

I'd say floods of rage is a little better than just okay. The info of how survivors are rotating is very useful, and you don't get that with bbq

[timber iris]

i suppose it supplements my personal playstyle a little less than single-target highlighting perks like Friends or jagged compass. For macro killers, floods is very useful yeah

[tepid sequoia]

(@hybrid trench )

[hybrid trench]

I see

[stray gazelle]

is freddy worth getting and hard to learn?

[hexed gale]

He's not the hardest to learn per-se

His main power is a pretty easy to land slowdown

[stray gazelle]

i keep seeing clips of people faking a tp to end a loop so it somewhat looks pretty good but i was wondering if its hard to do yknow

[formal turtle]

is still sight a good perk?

[hexed gale]

But using his whole kit fluidly can be kinda hard for a newer player

Once you get the hang of weaving in Fake Pallets during downtime (like walking between gens, or while chasing someone while slowdown is on CD )

You can put a lot of pressure and be efficient yk

His TP is pretty reliable for map pressure, he gets much stronger as people use up pallets

[stray gazelle]

so in your opinion is it worth getting him and quentin?

[tepid sequoia]

By itself, a worse esp, but its main use is working while using bardic and 1234

[hybrid trench]

Im a springtrap main so who should i focus on getting?

[hexed gale]

Yea both have pretty solid perks, Vigil, Pharmacy are great

Fire Up, Remember Me, Blood Warden are fun and can be very powerful

Freddy is worth it imo

[hybrid trench]

Whats the perk that allows you to see the survivors aura at the beginning of a match?

[hexed gale]

Lethal Pursuer - Nemesis

[stray gazelle]

alr bet tysm

[tepid sequoia]

Question speedrun any%

[hybrid trench]

So what im hearing is get nemesis

[hexed gale]

Lethal Pursuer is good on any killer, you 100% get a chase within 10 seconds

Get info on where the rest will be when that chase ends, and boosts other aura perks

Yea it's solid

[dry lake]

common bug, try playing on borderless or press alt + enter when ur game freezes after alt tabbing back

[grizzled robin]

Are there any perks that can help with the Nemesis' Zombies detection range aside from Surveillance? I heard that not all perks work with them

[formal turtle]

what are some other esp perks that are good?

[mystic wharf]

those are the only two that behave like that

[timber iris]

discordance's notification attracts the zombies too

[vestal vault]

The new killer will cost 9,000 iri shards?

[timber iris]

since theyre original, that should be the case yeah.
the grimoire killer at least, which comes sometime later this year

any news about any other next killer is not known and it may be licensed or original

[pure flicker]

Hopefully the new killer perks are good

[tepid sequoia]

Wym "other esp perks"? There's one esp

[signal kiln]

How do I get the different colours variations of rift pass exclusives?

[torn narwhal]

There are a lot of esp perks: Bardic Espiration, Espirit Fury, Especialist

[tepid sequoia]

Lmao

[gilded marten]

when is Wesker going to be added again?

[pseudo sedge]

somewhere around the time what legion took

[gilded marten]

alr ty

[pearl tinsel]

hopefully sooner than that

[pseudo sedge]

yea

[royal swan]

There's been rumors theoretically on Tuesday for next patch

[gilded marten]

ty

[timber iris]

deep rift versions of outfits have never come to the store so far. Maybe in the future, but as of right now, those are entirely exclusive to those who have finished the Rift Pass when it was there
Not sure about Altered versions, as thats a relatively new thing and the original outfits have not come to the store either

[timber iris]

should be tomorrow, should be a bugfix patch there. Legion took much longer than what you can usually expect, regular killswitches are hardly longer than a week.

[gilded marten]

ty

[grizzled robin]

Can someone explain how to turn while in Pyramid Head's power? Thank you very much

[pearl tinsel]

you move your camera in the direction you want to go

[grizzled robin]

When I tried it js turn all clunky. Is the turnrate reduced while in power?

[pearl tinsel]

yes it is

compared to when not using your power, i mean

[grizzled robin]

Thank you for the clarification! I still got much to learn

[flint kindle]

For the record two things that help dealing with aiming
You still have full Camera control when you’re starting Rites of Judgement so you can aim then and then instantly fire once the starting animation’s over
And when you actually use Punishment of the Damned there’s a single frame where you can flick your camera with full control

[grizzled robin]

Noted, thanks!

[rapid finch]

what are perks i should try running on freddy?

[royal swan]

Is there a bug on 2v8 with ghostface atm? Havent been able to mori anyone for 15 hours

[onyx warren]

what auric killers/survivors are worth it?

[jade walrus]

if you are completely new to the game, i'd recommend kate denson and picking up her windows of opportunity perk. it's like training wheels for new survivors, which usually get taken off later

[flint kindle]

She’s not Auric-Only

[jade walrus]

ah, valid point, my 4am fogged brain made me think of iri shards instead

[flint kindle]

Depends on what you’re buying a Killer for, and what Survivor Perks you like running

[onyx warren]

i have 80ish hours not too new

[onyx warren]

I main huntress and trickster(?) the guy wiuth the knives. but maybe something else would be more suitable?
I have some perks for survivor which I will send in a sec

[jade walrus]

maybe nemesis for lethal pursuer and eruption, both really good perks. lethal is similar to windows of opportunity where it should come off later. kind of a hot take.

[flint kindle]

Do you want another Ranged Killer? Do you care about the Killer’s Perks?

[onyx warren]

no idea tbh but perks are important tbh

[jade walrus]

having trouble thinking of an insanely good survivor that has more than a single good perk, any ideas for them?

[flint kindle]

Do you care about Meta Strength

[onyx warren]

whats that mean dawg

[jade walrus]

maybe nicholas cage? think two of them are super strong

[flint kindle]

How strong they are

[onyx warren]

in what sense

[jade walrus]

like in terms of peak performance compared to other perks and what not, same with killers compared to others. it's like deja vu vs finesse or sprint burst. or nurse vs the wraith

[flint kindle]

Optimal going for most Kills possible
META means Most Effective Tactics Available

[onyx warren]

i wouldnt see why anyone wioukdnt got for meta

[jade walrus]

some people dont find meta fun, as they might have a linear playstyle compared to an off-meta build

[flint kindle]

Because it’s just not a priority for everyone
My favourite Killer is one of the weakest Killers in the game just cause I like them

Anyways
For a Licensed Killer with Good Perks and who’s fairly Strong
Henry Creel aka The First

[onyx warren]

is trickster considered meta? just to get an idea

[onyx warren]

thats the one with the clocks right?
if so I never understood how the killer worked tbh

[flint kindle]

Definitely not

The two strongest Killers in the game are Nurse and Blight
Other notable Strong Killers would be Hillbilly, Dracula, Henry, Singularity

[cobalt slate]

Guys I’m planning on buy all the killers and survivors on my account by paying someone 10 dollars should I do it?

[flint kindle]

I would read his Wiki page and then come back here if you have more questions

https://deadbydaylight.wiki.gg/wiki/Henry_Creel

[pearl tinsel]

sounds like you are paying someone to use an injector, which is bannable

[onyx warren]

idk I guess maybe a fun and good killer?

[cobalt slate]

But do people usely get banned

[pearl tinsel]

Yes

[flint kindle]

Cage and Jill are the main two

@onyx warren As I already said, Licensed + Good Perks + Strong in Meta = Henry
Fun is highly subjective

[cobalt slate]

How do u know

[pearl tinsel]

it is against the rules. BHVR themselves will actively ban for it, and EAC can also detect it and could ban you as well

[pearl tinsel]

Because it is considered hacking. Which people get banned for

[cobalt slate]

Bro ik it’s bannable but do people usely get banned like is it a high chance

Like I used to play apex legends and cheaters never got caught

[pearl tinsel]

I dont have any accurate statistics on hand, but my educated assumption would be that its not uncommon to be banned for it

especially if someone reports you for it

and you are currently talking about hacking in the official dbd server

[cobalt slate]

I doubt ima get reported but tbh it’s worth the risk

[pearl tinsel]

this is an official dbd discord. where BHVR employees are in

[cobalt slate]

My account ain’t linked and I never leaked my user dw

[old lynx]

so wth is this icon

[pearl tinsel]

well if i were you, i absolutely wouldnt

[pearl tinsel]

Mettle of Man

[flint kindle]

Mettle of Man

[cobalt slate]

I saw a comment on TikTok and I’m gonna check if anything happens to them

[old lynx]

yes obv, i mean what is the icon supposed to be

[flint kindle]

Ash’s Hand
Which you can very clearly see on Ash’s model

[old lynx]

ok thanks

[dry lake]

that doesn't matter because if EAC finds out you are hacking you get a mac address ban which is definitely not worth anything

[zealous loom]

Oh, you will. It's very easy to tell when someone has an injected account. Obviously I am not going to share how people can know. Just that there are ways.

[hushed pike]

Is Mina worth buying with auric cells or should I save up shards? Ik at 5k shards rn and 1.77k auric cells

[flint kindle]

She's a Cosmetic, so the only worth she has is what you give her
You can't measure how much joy you get from that

[cobalt slate]

I just want more killers how will they know it’s injected???

[dry lake]

I'm not sure if skins get discounted in June but worth waiting for it

[cobalt slate]

I just want to know what are the chances of them knowing

[flint kindle]

Are you genuinely expecting an exact number % or something

[pearl tinsel]

obviously we cant give you a specific number dude

[cobalt slate]

Yea like if yall had any friends who got banned cus of this

[pearl tinsel]

but if EAC catches onto the injected account, you will 100% get banned

[flint kindle]

No
Cause my friends don't actively break DBD ToS
Cause they ain't idiots

[dry lake]

like almost 100%, anticheat is pretty smart so I'd recommend not doing that and getting an IP and Mac ban

[cobalt slate]

I come from a game where the anti cheat was shit is the anti cheat in this game that good?

[dry lake]

Rainbow six siege?

Anyways yes, EAC is pretty good

[cobalt slate]

Apex legends

[dry lake]

Apex legends uses EAC which is a kernel anticheat meaning it actively scans your PC unlike battleye

[onyx warren]

what would you recommend, something that isnt like point and click ykwim

[cobalt slate]

So if both use eac why is apex legends anti cheat so shit

[haughty chasm]

Which of these should I buy? Vittorio Thalita haddie Jonah Zarina Elodie Lee Yun Jin Mikaela Yui Jane or Jeff

[dry lake]

because it's really difficult to say someone's a cheater in FPS, not the case with DBD

[cobalt slate]

What if I pay him to go on my alt so I basically get a free trial on everyone

[proper oracle]

if i change my res in panel should i also change it in dbd

[dry lake]

Regardless you're breaking T&C

[cobalt slate]

Last question if they like find out will I get banned instantly it will it take time

[flint kindle]

My recommendations are purely based off what you've said you're interested in, and there's not really any other Licensed Killer who has both good perks and is particularly Strong
Good Perks wise there's Nemesis, Chucky, Ghost Face, Demogorgan, Freddy
Strong in Meta there's Dracula and Ghoul

[dry lake]

instant

and
if you really wanna get all killers and not break TOS and get banned, save up $20 and buy them all during the June anniversary sale

[proper oracle]

if i change my res in panel should i also change it in dbd

[flint kindle]

What type of Perks do you like using

[cobalt slate]

Whatt it can’t be that cheap

[haughty chasm]

The good kind but chase mainly

[dry lake]

it is that cheap, with $30 you could get around 7-9 DLCs

[cobalt slate]

Oh Alr yall saved me thank you

[dry lake]

you also get a lot of cosmetics that way, without hacking and breaking any TOS and possibly compromising your device

[flint kindle]

For Chase Perks out of the lot you have listed there isn't particularly much
Vittorio, Jonah, Yun-Jin, and Yui all have something related to Chase

[rapid finch]

what perks should i be running on freddy?

[rapid finch]

i got every dlc for 8€ lol

[steady nacelle]

is it worth putting all killer to prestige 3 or is prestige 1 enough

[rugged berry]

P3 should eventually be the goal if you play multiple killers

[errant kindle]

depends on if u wanna play everyone or jus a very small number of killers

p1 is cheaper in the short term

[dry lake]

what is the ultimate support build? I'm talking like shoulder the burden, reassurance, we're gonna live forever and the perk that lets you heal unhooked Survivors faster (idk the name)
does that work?

[steady nacelle]

im asking because of the perks

[errant kindle]

babysitter should be pretty good maybe over reassurance

[pearl tinsel]

We'll Make It sounds like the perk you are referring to at the end

[dry lake]

how? teach me the ways :/
I need knight artist plague blight deathslinger nemesis for perks

[rugged berry]

I'd actually swap Wglf and We'll Make it for Autodidact and Deadline. Autodidact is a gonga busted healing perk

@steady nacelle yeah. And you should p3 everyone eventually as a long term goal so every perk is tier 3 on everyone

[rugged berry]

Im assuming they cheated and used an account injector

[steady nacelle]

oof thats a lot of work XD

[dry lake]

maybe it was like a massive offer

[rugged berry]

P1 everyone for now. And then p3 people who have perks you know you wanna use immediately. Or just hsve good perks

@dry lake ah yes. 300 dollars down to 8

[limpid jacinth]

Why did they take Micheal Myers skin off?

[rugged berry]

Because they lost the rights to sell anything related to the Halloween License, or use the Haddonfield map

[limpid jacinth]

Oh

[dry lake]

it's $300 in total?!
I can't spend on 3 games :/
where winds meet takes enough out of me

What about just the licensed DLCs from Steam?

[steady nacelle]

are there some killers whose perks are not very good?

[vestal vault]

Whats todays wraith meta perk build ?

[rugged berry]

Idk dude. Im just saying that they just used an account injector

You can find that info yourself by looking through steam

@steady nacelle Huntress and Wraith immediately come to mind

[steady nacelle]

id like to post pictures of my killers but unfortunately i cant

[pearl jasper]

Does anyone have any good all rounder builds for survivor?

[rugged berry]

Just look at the perks. And tell yourself

"Do i wanna use these perks?"

Yes: Prestige them
No: Dont for now

[onyx warren]

I suppose I'll take ghost face then and maybe demo for the perk?

sorry for the late response I was midmatch

how do i send pics of my perks btw?

[dry lake]

upload it on imgur and send the link here

[vestal vault]

Whats todays wraith meta perk build ?
i have all killers except krasue .

[rapid finch]

get everyone u can get for free and then try looking for dlc code resellers some of them have em pretty cheap

[onyx warren]

are thse builds good?

[zealous loom]

Personally I use the following 2 builds on all my Survivors. With only 4 perk slots you can't incorporate every aspect of DBD into your build. But you can try and make the most of it if your goal is to have as much of everything as you can.

Standard 1:

• Kindred (Universal): valuable aura reading for you when someone is hooked, and for your team when you are hooked.
• Leader (Dwight Fairfield): speeds up teammates' actions around you (faster healing, cleansing, blessing, opening chests, opening gates).
• Sprint Burst (Meg Thomas): perk aimed at self-defense to get away fast when the killer is approaching.
• Unbreakable (Bill Overbeck): same idea.

Standard 2:

• Deja Vu (Universal): lets you see the 3 gens closest to each other and you repair them 6% faster.
• Do No Harm (Orela Rose): increases altruistic healing by 50% per hook state on the teammate you're healing.
• Lithe (Feng Min): chase tool, to make more distance when you're in danger.
• Off The Record (Zarina Kassir): post-unhook protection for 40 seconds, should the killer decide to tunnel.

[pearl jasper]

Thank you!! I'll try out the second build, the only thing is that I don't have orela or zarina, is there anything else that you'd recommend?

[dry lake]

oh like that, high effort but works I guess

[zealous loom]

Then you can do a mix of both builds. For example: Deja Vu, Leader, Lithe, Unbreakable

[onyx warren]

guyz

[pearl jasper]

I'll try it and I'll let you know how I get on, thank you

[onyx warren]

[mossy sentinel]

When to break the pallet like god pallet

[onyx warren]

didnt work

[dry lake]

odd.. usually works

@mossy sentinel instantly if you know no one's right next to you, since going around the god pallet wastes a lot of time in a chase and survivors can keep using it

[north zephyr]

are there any redeem codes active except the frosty eyes and the gender icons?

[torn narwhal]

ENCORE
Comeback
KARMA
FINDERSCREEPERS

[north zephyr]

tysm but the Comeback code is expired 🙂

[torn narwhal]

I used these codes not so long ago. But yeah, some might be already expired

[glass vault]

what is the highest lich streak?

[hushed rock]

Oni can ko 2 ppl at once?

[torn narwhal]

Yes, he can hit multiple survivors with one attack

[plucky steppe]

yo

[primal folio]

Ask away

[plucky steppe]

I'm new to the game and I need friends.

[primal folio]

#looking-for-group would be the place to go

[grizzled robin]

Most I know of is 269 consecutive wins from Refined

[errant kindle]

fun fact the hitbox of his demon dash lasts for the entire animation even when he hits someone

[rugged berry]

I mean he does slam the ground 3 times. So, walking into that has gotta hurt

*and small bonus. It still plays the triple hit when hitting a hooked survivor. Meaning you can hit a hooked survivor, then down someone going for the unhook

[mossy sentinel]

Thanks

[tribal glacier]

how do you equip perks?

[rugged berry]

You uh, go to your loadout screen (under character select) and click on the perk area

You do need to level up that character to level 15 via the bloodweb to equip 4 perks

[tribal glacier]

all I can see is class skills and inventory

[rugged berry]

You can't equip perks in 2v8

[tribal glacier]

oh nvm then im just stupid 😭

[tacit silo]

is it normal for your killer teammate to just spare one person

[primal folio]

Yeah probably. You could ask them.

[tacit silo]

I'm on console I don't have endgame chat

[torn narwhal]

Very rare, happened to me only once when I was playing with my friend and he wanted to spare certain survivor. Never happened to me when i played with randoms
