[cedar field]

@open abyss hey i ended up getting some coins, i went ahead and bought kate for windows of opportunity perk! is there anyone else i should buy?

[tame gale]

i read that wrong mb they all have great perks

[rugged berry]

Yeah it'll work on both unhooks. More if someone uses Shoulder

[ruby robin]

[hexed gale]

Grickster

[vivid crescent]

Wesker easily

[last grotto]

No one said knight 😭 😭 😭

[tame gale]

can anyone make me a knight build i have trickster artist hilbilly nurse huntress clown spirit legion blight prestiged

[vivid crescent]

Pain resonance , No way out , Pop goes the weasel , and then another perk idk

[tame gale]

why no way out?

[wide hull]

Sadako

[noble turret]

Any active codes

[vivid crescent]

for a chance to get a snowball in end game if you spread hooks during the match a lot

Kind of a fail safe to get at least 1-2 kills

[tame gale]

alright

[tame gale]

does pop work on soldiers damaging gens

[torn narwhal]

No, only on manual kicks

[tight sedge]

Is the judgement supposed to be the next killer that releases?

[hollow barn]

Knight has to manually do it for any kick perks hes using

[tame gale]

alright

[rustic carbon]

No its schedualed for the end of the year

[torn narwhal]

Maybe you wanted to post this picture here? https://discord.com/channels/153566829380370432/1026862911454445599

[hollow barn]

End of the year?!

[spare bloom]

There’s a place for that?

[rustic carbon]

They have been saying late 2026 since last year

[ruby robin]

yes lol

[spare bloom]

Oh

[torn narwhal]

Of course! This is the DBD server, not server for Counter Strike, Dota or some other low quality games

[trim apex]

Hey does anyone knkw if the dress is any good or any good videos explaining him well by chance ?

[torn narwhal]

You mean Dredge? He is a decent killer but very map dependant. He will be good on maps with many lockers like Midwich but he will struggle on big open maps like Coldwind

[trim apex]

Yes sorry it autocorrected and thank you

[ruby robin]

dresses are great some of them flow when u run

[trim apex]

I didn't know that, might try it out

[unkempt linden]

any decent dredge builds? ( for fun or winning )

[hollow barn]

Should I level dustin eleven or kwon?

[vivid crescent]

Kwon for five moves ahead

[ruby robin]

kwon then eleven then dustin

[cold sapphire]

which addons should i run on kaneki?

[violet hinge]

so i got intrested in this game bc of a roblox rip off called voilence district im currently installing this game i hope its good my exspectations are very high and im thinking im gonna lose my first game when i play in a hour have no idea what im gonna be doing lol \

[torn narwhal]

Good luck! If you will have any questions about the game — feel free to ask in this channel

[violet hinge]

is baiting the killer and distracting the killer while ppl work on generators somthing i can do bc thats somthing i did alot of playing the other game

[steep hound]

got into it by vd aswell and its just like 10x more difficutl

[ruby robin]

yes, you can loop the killer away from active generators and try to keep their attention on you in a chase

[topaz snow]

this game is so shit i get 4 kills all downed and get 40k bp like why waste my time of 7 minutes if im gonna get shit

[ruby robin]

this isn't even a question man

[violet hinge]

is there somthing simliar too the parry knife in this game like on vd

[cold sapphire]

7 minutes?

[steep hound]

its like a perk

[topaz snow]

was there a question mark

[violet hinge]

sweet so there are perks too same for killer as well right

[cold sapphire]

was your precious time wasted by running around?

[torn narwhal]

Survivor's main goal is to waste as much of killer's time as possible, so your teammates can repair gens in a meantime

[topaz snow]

theres j no bp rewarded for doing well you always gotta have map perks which is so annoying

[languid linden]

guys, the perk thanatophobia it wold be interesting to ghostface?

[cold sapphire]

yes killers have perks too, like aurareading and gen slowdown

[torn narwhal]

Yes, there are 173 survivor perks and 145 killer perks

[violet hinge]

are there emotes?

[fringe hedge]

does anyone know animatronic build without another murder

[steep hound]

just 2, a point and like wave type thibg

[torn narwhal]

Only two, you can activate them by pressing 1 and 2 on a keyboard. Killers don't have emotes

[violet hinge]

lol

[old lynx]

it's a terrible perk

[violet hinge]

are there alot of diffrent maps and killers?

[torn narwhal]

There are only 3 killers who can get some value from this perk: Legion, Ghoul and Plague. I wouldn't recommend using this perk on anyone except Plague

[steep hound]

yes its like 10x more content than in vd

[old lynx]

yes, that is why the game is so hard to learn

[torn narwhal]

42 killers and 46 maps

[old lynx]

would thana legion be good with deerstalker to find the healthy guy?

[languid linden]

serious? i don't know about perks and i found interesting

[unkempt linden]

can anyone gives me a good fun dredge build pls

[languid linden]

ah ok thanks

[violet hinge]

does the game give alot of ghrapics control i have low end pc so having the ability to not be forced to play with high end ghrapics is great

[fringe hedge]

does anyone know animatronic build without another murder

[old lynx]

thana is misleading. it can be really good in theory if you keep everyone injured, but survivors can and will easily avoid its value

[torn narwhal]

Its not terrible. Like this perk is a bit helpful but there are many other perks that way better

[steep hound]

yeah should be alright

[old lynx]

you can go low graphics but the game is still really intensive

[languid linden]

I understand but i dont know to make a builds for killers and always use the same one for all

[ruby robin]

no. you run it on killers that are good at quick injures. Ghostface is an instadown killer who stalks. that's the opposite of quick injuries

[rugged slate]

Best chucky perks

[torn narwhal]

No Holds Barred, Weeping Wounds/Sloppy Butcher, Phantom Fear/Spies From The Shadows, No One Escapes Death

[languid linden]

ahh I understand I hadn't thought of it that way.

[fringe hedge]

does anyone know animatronic build without unique skills

[heady adder]

Hello,

I have tried everything to fix this issue. I deleted the game and reinstalled it, changed the DNS, restarted my PC and internet, and tried all possible solutions, but nothing worked.

Whenever I press Play / Ready, I get this error message:

ERROR
“Connection with host could not be established. Please try again”

I am playing on PC through the Xbox App / Microsoft Store version.

Is there any solution for this problem?

[fringe hedge]

does anyone know animatronic build without unique skills

[languid linden]

Could someone tell me a build for Ghostface?

[unkempt talon]

best the first add ons? for totem builds?

[heady adder]

We have a message that is more important than your problem.

[fringe hedge]

?

[dull venture]

will you still be able to see the killers aura when they see your aura when youre not the obsession with object of obsession

[languid linden]

I know I would help you if I knew how to answer.

[crude geode]

whats a fun ghosty build?
i some tried haste/info stuff but it feels lacking still
running lethal, see how they run, discordance and rapid rn
considering replacing discordance with bbq

[sage epoch]

i got custom perks from nightlight and i decided to get rid of them but whenever i look at some perks theres a square with green and purple stripes how do i fix it?

[quartz hemlock]

anything with coup helps him significantly since he has no chase

[heady adder]

Well, I don't think there's a solution; even the developers can't fix the problem. I'm going to delete the damn game and leave.

[languid linden]

Would speed help?

[rustic carbon]

Youre better off downing one of the injured people than wasting time looking for the uninjured person

[quartz hemlock]

it would but i would just use the addon for it and not a perk where if you expose the survivor you get 10 percent for a few seconds

[cold sapphire]

should i get trickster for endgame builds?

[languid linden]

I understand thank you

[trail iron]

hey i just found a cheater

[quartz hemlock]

your welcome and i guess if you don't know any other perks to run corrupt always helps on ghostface since he has no map mobility

[rustic carbon]

Either the servers are down or youre not connected to the internet

[willow shuttle]

do we know when the spirit tomie skin will be back?

[rustic carbon]

Isnt it always available?

[warped igloo]

is hex hivemind bugged? when it activates i just see all gens in white even if they have progress

[languid linden]

oh ok

[heady adder]

How can I be offline when I'm even connected to Discord and communicating with you? What kind of stupid logic is that?

[plucky carbon]

will there be any issues if i increase the max fps from 120 to 240 via the .ini file?

[heady adder]

The game will crash and you will have to buy it from another platform. Beware, it's a stupid, sensitive game.

[crude geode]

Enduring spirit fury two can play and shadowborn?
w/drop leg knife sheath and leather knife sheath

[rustic carbon]

Idk man. Generally you get this issue if the servers are down, you have the wrong version of the game, not connected to the internet, or I think if youve been banned.

[torn narwhal]

Shadowborn and Two Can Play are very bad perks. Enduring and Spirit Fury might work but not always. Its better to just use Coup De Grace on Ghost Face

[crude geode]

fr?
i keep getting blinded so i thought it may be good

[rustic carbon]

Two Can Play is a meme perk. It only exists to be silly.

Shadowborn is genuinely on of the worst killer perks in the game period

[weak jewel]

What is the most used survivor build

[rustic carbon]

Probably Windows, DS, DH, Dejavu

[crude geode]

oh

[weak jewel]

sorry what does ds and dh stand for and is this build good to use?

[granite pilot]

why slow vault istead of fast

[quartz hemlock]

i was gonna guess dead hard decisive. probably some shoulder the burden and maybe if they are daring they have finesse

[rustic carbon]

Decisive Strike and Dead Hard. Decisive Strike has been renamed to to Will to Live I think.

Decisive Strike and Dead Hard are arguably among the strongest perks in the game. Windows of Oppertunity is a perk that basically lets survivors turn their brain off when in chase and functions as a learning tool for newer players. Dejavu is just a good perk

[weak jewel]

Didn't dead hard get nerfed ?

[quartz hemlock]

years ago

[zealous loom]

It's been nerfed, but it's still a strong perk regardless.

[rustic carbon]

Yeah it got nerfed twice but it is still very good. Just not outright gamebreaking like it used to be.

[weak jewel]

Ah okay so I should probably try to go for that build right

[zealous loom]

That's her Junji Ito cosmetic which is permanently available. Just not in some regions.

[rustic carbon]

Dead Hard lets you gain endurance for a brief moment with the press of a button once after youve been hooked while injured. Lets you extend chances out longer or save yourself in dire situations.

Originally it was just an exhaustion perk with no conditions or limited uses and you gained distance upon using it. Which was absurd and almosy every survivor ran it for years.

[torn narwhal]

Nothing wrong with the game here, you just didn't got enough momentum for the fast vault

[weak jewel]

When is bloodmoon or a event that gives a lot of blood points coming?

[arctic steppe]

any good ghostface build yall would recommend?

[zealous loom]

Blood Moon was in March. The next BP rich event will be the Anniversary in June/July

[quartz hemlock]

sprint burst vigil is also pretty busted and is very common if you didn't feel like you could do dead hard

[weak jewel]

ah man

[ruby robin]

next month. june 14th onwards

[granite pilot]

nah bug

[weak jewel]

I just feel like its pointless tho cuz I don't want to walk the whole time across the map waiting for the right time to use it or is there a different way of using sprint burst

[royal mulch]

u don't need to, the cooldown is so short that while you are doing gen or healing or wtv else youre doing it will be ready to use

[torn narwhal]

You need to use SB immediately and recover it to 99% and after that start running. So in chase you can just walk for a brife moment and use SB

[quartz hemlock]

you can 99 your exhaustion and use it mid chase and with vigil it will come back so quickly that won't be an issue since it's less than 30 seconds

[ruby robin]

just 99 your sb. run gen to gen with 1% exhaustion

[weak jewel]

Wouldn't the exaution run out while I'm doing a gen tho

[ruby robin]

yes, which means you have it up when the killer comes to stop you. don't sit on a 60% gen trying to 99 ur exhaust, do it on a fresh gen u need to get done

[quartz hemlock]

Coup, Corrupt, Rancor, then the last perk you can choose any regression perk or maybe no way. for addons do the haste on expose addon and the one that blows up the gen when the survivor is exposed

[weak jewel]

Wait I'm confused, will u just leave the gen when its at 99? The exhaustion

[arctic steppe]

im ngl i dont have rancor or coup

[torn narwhal]

Yes, so you can either keep SB ready to instantly run far away from the gen when killer will came closer (very helpful against stealth killers and killers with high mobility or TP ability. Or you can quickly press shift to waste SB and keep working on the gen and recover exhaustion to get it closer to 99%

[quartz hemlock]

do you have houndmasters perks also since you don't have rancor yeah i would just put no way out on

[ruby robin]

like imagine u have sb and someone gets hooked and u need to either rotate for save or rotate away from killer or rotate to a new gen.

work on a gen while exhausted. then when it's like 1-5% left u run to go for the unhook. while healing ur exhaust will come back up and u have sb ready for when killer is back at hook

[arctic steppe]

i dont got houndmasters or tricksters perks💔

[cold sapphire]

should i get hag or spirit?

[weak jewel]

Ah okay I think I understand now thanks

[torn narwhal]

Both these killers have unique playstyles: Hag is a territorial killer who set traps, Spirit is using sounds to track survivors. Hag's perks are better but Spirit is stronger. Decide by yourself

[quartz hemlock]

im a p100 spirit i say spirit plus you get one of the best perks in the game , RANCOR

[cold sapphire]

is spirit like drac's bat form?

[arctic steppe]

guessing im screwed then😭

[topaz snow]

what does giving someone a thumbs up do?

[quartz hemlock]

you can't see survivors at all but you can hear them, see their scratch marks, and if they run through tall grass or brush you can see it move

[torn narwhal]

Yes, but she can instantly attack after exiting her Phase form. And Phase have a duration when Dracula can be infinitely in Bat form

[rustic carbon]

Yes but she can immedietly attack out of it, is completely invisible, and leaves behind a fake duplicate of herself whenever she phases.

Survivors can also hear a directional wooshing noise when she gets close to them while phased.

[cold sapphire]

so basically i have to rely on hearing and scratch marks to land my ability?

[rustic carbon]

Yeah. Or purely hearing if you run her irri addon

[torn narwhal]

Yep, exactly. And also you can see grass moving but not on all maps

[ruby robin]

corrupt intervention, pain resonance, spies from the shadows, grim embrace/deadlock/hex: ruin, with philly and driver's license or knife sheathe

[north tusk]

Is there like a definitely correct way to play ghostface? I only rlly fumble if i try to overuse stalking and any other way works 85% of the time

[arctic steppe]

alr ty

[quartz hemlock]

well i was mainy asking that since coup helps ghost faces chase potential some but since you don't have it or houndmaster i guess choose bamboozle if you have it since it can also help your chase potential somewhat

[arctic steppe]

alr i have bamb so that works

[tired wagon]

How long do you think it would take to get 10 player levels
And I need 4200 xp

[ruby robin]

99 your stalks. don't fully stalk someone until you are ready to swing. it's ok to not stalk people if they're injured but if you think you won't commit to them in a chase in the next 15 seconds just stalk them anyway

[torn field]

i’ve just gone against a killer with a charm that looks like dwight on his hands and knees, naked, what charm is this i have never seen it before?

[quartz hemlock]

also only lean when you stalk as its faster unless you already have them 99ed

[fair lion]

is this surv build good? fast gambit, finesse, dramaturgy and kate denson's perk for pallets and windows auras

[dry lake]

yes but finesse and drama only gives u value if ur healthy

[ruby robin]

yes it's fine just make sure u have a teammate to reset u

[torn narwhal]

As a Ghost Face you want to not fully stalk survivors immediately but 99% stalk meter on them and keep closer or leave them completely and go for this survivor later when you will have opportunity. Get close enough to his this survivor, activate your ability and instantly finish mark and hit survivor. Its a good idea to stalk and 99% injured survivors too, so you can instadown them later after they heal

[north tusk]

I put philly on so i always end up getting stalk decently fast

[ruby robin]

better to have and not need than to need and not have

[torn field]

i’ve just gone against a killer with a charm that looks like dwight on his hands and knees, naked, what charm is this i have never seen it before? genuine question 🙏🏼

[cold sapphire]

why would you run that if it removes one of her easiest ways to find survs

[quartz hemlock]

extreme amounts of speed, i run it almost exclusively honestly

[ruby robin]

sounds like an AoT charm or smth man, those guys love being naked

[rustic carbon]

It makes you move 25% faster while phased, and you already move really fast.

[cold sapphire]

alright i'll get spirit then, she seems fun

[north tusk]

Granted some of my 15% fumble matches are on open bright asf map so on one hand it is also my luck but yeah i only 99% stalk a majority of the time

[torn field]

can i send you it? it’s pretty weird and i’d love to know where it’s from

[ruby robin]

spirit is very fun just make sure to run flute

[cold sapphire]

i suppose that's one of her addons?

[torn narwhal]

Experienced Spirit players can track survivors only by sounds, this addon highly increase movement speed so it makes these players even more deadly

[ruby robin]

sure. this better not be bait

[quartz hemlock]

yep it's the best recharge rate addon, now she has other addons to get power back instantly though if you plan to get stunned constantly or break pallets

[torn narwhal]

Yep, best her addons are Flute and Cap, i would recommend using them

[cold sapphire]

alright time to grind bloodpoints again then

[rustic carbon]

Increases the recharge rate of her power. Its not a necessity. Personally I run ring (the speedup no scratch marks one) and wakizashi (lets you teleport back to the husk while phased)

[ruby robin]

Spirit has two recharge addons. She's very strong but most ppl find her frustrating without running one of the recharge addons because her basekit recharge rate is vry punishing

[torn field]

sent 🙏🏼

[cold sapphire]

so are her perks any good on other killers?

[rustic carbon]

Man I remember when she used to be S tier

[quartz hemlock]

i have never played a single spirit in all my time that has ever touched that addon, but i don't know, i use Furin which i also see nobody use

[ruby robin]

almost universally good yea, but kind of good in a niche/memey way

[azure comet]

Are there any good tips for my mains Xeno, Ghostface, and Ghoul?

[cold sapphire]

which perks should i run on her then?

[torn narwhal]

Spirit Fury can be combined with Enduring, pretty good combo but well known so survivors might expect this and play around it. Rancor and Haunted Grounds are useful only on M1 killers and both these perks are inconsistent

[quartz hemlock]

i would say rancor gets more consistent value since it does reveal every survivor after every gen and if you have more endgame perks the obsession is very likely to die

[ruby robin]

rancor is useful on any killer, bypassing hook states is useful in any endgame build. is it as good as running slowdown? no

[crimson whale]

what is the purpose of artists crows swarming you when they cant damage you unless shes already close when she sends them? is it solely to reveal where you are?

[torn narwhal]

My bad, i forgot that it reveals survivor after completing gens

[torn narwhal]

If you swarmed and you will get hit by another distant crow then you will take a damage

[ruby robin]

you can run slowdown, chase, or a mix of the two and do great on her

sloppy butcher, save the best for last (whatever the new name is), pain resonance, corrupt intervention

[inland saffron]

May someone explain how MMR work that this Dwi end up in this lobby? I am just curious.

[crimson whale]

ohhh okay thank you

[ruby robin]

this tells us nothing. it just looks like he was doing an achievement

[cold sapphire]

okay thank you

[quartz hemlock]

spirit is a monster with coup i know i keep bringing it up a lot but on killers like her and wraith their speed actually make the lunge even more powerful and it makes getting certain hits far easier

[cold sapphire]

coup?

[quartz hemlock]

it's a twins perk that increases lunge distance if you have them unlocked

[noble turret]

Rapid brutality is one of spirits best perks

[limber nova]

genuinely how do you counter artist on an enclosed map? its impossible she can jst spam her thingy and they say huntress is annoying 🙄

[cold sapphire]

yeah i dont have the twins

[quartz hemlock]

truth bomb i use this perk constantly on her

[noble turret]

Same here

[cold sapphire]

whose perk is that?

[ruby robin]

hold w and dont run to tiles where holding w becomes impossible, dont let her zone you on the side of a pallet that's away from the next tile u want to go to

[quartz hemlock]

Alien

[torn narwhal]

He has a key with ember addon. When player first time enters the game, he has Dwight pre-equipped and this Dwight has this key with ember addon. But also he should had Bond equipped.

This might be an experienced player with a lot of hours, of course, but that looks like a new player

[cold sapphire]

is there any way i can get rid of the 30s limit between my messages? it's making it difficult to respond to multiple people

[ruby robin]

no, he does not have bond\

[cold sapphire]

oh sick i actually have that one

[torn narwhal]

That's exactly what I said

[ruby robin]

which is why i said what i said mate

[torn narwhal]

We will never know the truth anyway so yeah, I'm not seeing a reason in arguing

[weak jewel]

Is fast track still in the top gen rushing build?

[rustic carbon]

No

[ruby robin]

it got nerfed. it's still decent but there's plenty of other competitive perks you can run instead now

[weak jewel]

well not gen rushing but doing gens fast I mean

[bold zephyr]

fast track is ass now

[weak jewel]

Okay lol what is the best non licesensed perks for doing gens fast then now

[hasty tartan]

how many bloodpoints do you need to level up 50 times

[bold zephyr]

deja n resi

[torn narwhal]

I don't think so. I have both Prestiged and Veteran role and they are not giving this opportunity. Maybe other roles like Game Tutors, Broadcasters or these who helped server with money will not have this limit but I don't know. I only know that Crew members doesn't have this limit

[cold sapphire]

well i guess it makes sense so they don't have people spam a channel

[quartz hemlock]

i don't run the meta but if i'm sitting on gens all game i'm running built to last, i used to run old streetwise, but now it's the guitar perk, hyper focus, stakeout

[cold sapphire]

so should i prestige xeno before getting spirit for rapid brutality?

[ruby robin]

it depends on what items you take in the bloodweb, usually around 900k

[bold zephyr]

u do not need rapid on spirit bruh

[zenith vortex]

If the silver ghostface mask is supposed to reflect then why doesn’t it 🥹

[cold sapphire]

i've seen 2 people say it's good on her

[ruby robin]

yes, you can. Xeno also comes with Alien Instinct which isnt great but can be fun on her as a win-more perk

[quartz hemlock]

i would just get spirit you don't need it but it's good but you can get it after some grinding

[cold sapphire]

what was that

[bold zephyr]

not needed at all, spirit is an A tier killer regardless

[jade bear]

Does 2v8 give less rift fragments?

[cold sapphire]

alright i'll get spirit then and prestige her

[quartz hemlock]

[torn jewel]

When I'm trying to start DbD, it tells me to close "ACE-BASE", anyone knows what that is? I'm so lost 😭 (I have DbD on Epic Games)

[cold sapphire]

why are we getting so many discord server links

[weak jewel]

haha no idea

[ruby robin]

closer to summer time, kids have less obligations, thus more bots

[cold sapphire]

that makes sense

[vivid crescent]

A lot of people are getting scammed out of their accounts

[ruby robin]

yep. ppl still falling for scams in the big 26

[torn narwhal]

In the search box on the taskbar, type msconfig and select System Configuration from the list of results. Then go to the services and look for an anti-cheat expert there and just check the box and apply and reboot the system.

The second method C:\Windows\System32\drivers all files with the name ACE-BASE.sys change to ACE-BASE.sys.old and reboot the system

I don't know if this would work or not, just found this solution. Some games are using ACE-BASE anti-cheat which conflicts with other games. Uninstalling these games with ACE-BASE anti-cheat would help too

[torn jewel]

Well I did recently download Wuwa, but the thing happend just now so I'm not sure if that's the case, but thank you - I will try these out

[torn narwhal]

Tell me later about results, please. So I will know if i can recommend this solution or not to others with same issue

[cold sapphire]

are any of the 9k killers worth buying?

[daring sand]

what're the best medkit addons for self healing?

[shrewd peak]

This isn't a thing. Scamming occurs regardless of whether school is in session or not. The targets of the scams might change, but "kids having less obligations" has nothing to do with the amount of bots.

[torn narwhal]

Either 2 addons for additional charges or 1 addon for charges and one for increased progress on great skill checks

[daring sand]

does it matter which rarity medkit i use? dont have many purples

[flint goblet]

ive got the lara outfitwith the skull head and theorange glowingeyes but i saw another lara in 2v8 with the same fit except herskull's eyes were blue instead of orange. how do youunlock the blue ones?

[ruby robin]

sure it does, more social interactions means more targets. u said it urself

[torn narwhal]

If you will use addon for great skill checks then its better to use medkit with lower rarity. So healing will be a bit slower and you could get more skill checks

[shrewd peak]

A quick google search indicates that the opposite is actually true - there's more attacks on kids when school is in session because that's when kids are more likely to use programs they aren't familiar with but are required by the school.

[daring sand]

thank you

[ruby robin]

👍

[shrewd peak]

👍 Glad I could educate you. Hopefully you won't spread further misinformation.

[dry lake]

can ghoul use his ability to latch on to things and launch himself up a floor?

[ruby robin]

nope

[dry lake]

like for example on saloon that gen on main top by the balcony

[ruby robin]

yeah ik what u mean but answer is still nope

the tentacles have a z axis, ghoul himself does not have the capacity to move on that z axis without slopes

[sly sapphire]

What dlc character should i get?

[dry lake]

gotcha, is dracula the only one who can do that?

[torn narwhal]

No, he doesn't have vertical mobility. Like you can push yourself up and down on the stairs but you can't go vertically up

[ruby robin]

well when Dracula does it in batform it's a teleport. Plenty of killers can teleport

[sly sapphire]

Shouldi get Ghoul or Dracula?

[dry lake]

for perks? killer I'd say Nemesis or the first
survivor I'd say either nicholas cage or Jill

[torn narwhal]

Congratulations with Veteran role. I just saw it changes

[dry lake]

other than nurse and dredge?

[ruby robin]

that's us losing the crow roles, not getting new roles... 🙁

[torn narwhal]

Oh, my bad. I didn't know it was hiding Veteran role

[ruby robin]

Demogorgon, Singularity, Freddy, Onryo, Dredge... sure some of them are clunkier than others, Dracula's is arguably the smoothest. but they all move you across the z axis in the same way

[torn narwhal]

^ and Hag

[stoic river]

and springtrap

[ruby robin]

Nurse is unique in that hers isn't anchored to anything in the environment, unlike the others. but they all have z-axis mobility.

ghoul does not

[twin steppe]

jjba collab?

[torn narwhal]

No info about that. We have rumors that we will get Star Wars collab but that's not officially confirmed

[ruby robin]

i feel like if there were ever gonna be a Vader collab not announcing it on May 4th would be wild

[arctic steppe]

any decent build i should run for knight 🤔

[twin steppe]

thanks

[dry lake]

OMG a Dio killer would be sooo good

But I think the next chapter is either the last of us or Friday the 13th :/

[ruby robin]

corrupt intervention, pain resonance, discordance, deadlock w/ map of the realm and call to arms

[arctic steppe]

alr ty any substitutes for discordance tho🤔

[rocky root]

any jjba killers would be too hard to balance or implement

[ruby robin]

you don't need discordance, it's just comfy because it guarantees you know where 2+ survivors are and makes interrupting them with a guard very easy

literally any info perk works instead

[arctic steppe]

ah alr

[dry lake]

I think Kira is the best contender for something realistic, would probably be similar to pig though

[torn narwhal]

Time stop would be hard to implement in the online game. But i think Kira Yoshikage would be a good idea, kinda like a trapper-killer with his bombs

[rocky root]

more like trapper he would put bombs on gens or something
and the bomb thingy that tracks heat

[ruby robin]

spies from the shadows, nurse's calling, barbecue and chili all work fine

[arctic steppe]

ty

[dry lake]

trapper + twins basically if they do it

[torn narwhal]

"Killer Queen has already touched the gen"

[rocky root]

yeah

[dry lake]

is zarina one of the best free Survivors perk wise? it looks like off the record and for the people are really good

[daring sand]

when playing sadako, i should just spam tv teleports right?

[lilac ore]

No. If you spam it you will never get a 7 stack Condemn

[torn narwhal]

Yep, I think she is one of the best in terms of perks. The only problem is that Decisive Strike is free now so you don't need Off The Record anymore

[rapid zinc]

He’s the most fun I’ve had since I started playing again, but I fucking suck and it gets frustrating sometimes

[ruby robin]

No. do this if you know that a survivor is running around turning off your TVs. but you generally want to TP when you know survivors are near an active TV. spamming ports randomly is generally how u lose on her

[daring sand]

ooh okay, thank you both

[torn narwhal]

After teleporting to a TV, you will apply condemn stack on all survivors nearby active TVs. If you will spam them then all TVs would be disabled

[rapid zinc]

Doesn’t help when I lack good perks either, or don’t know what said good perks for him are

[ruby robin]

Dredge just also has a frustrating gameplay loop. as u get better at him it will get less frustrating and more chill

[lilac ore]

There is also a chance you encounter a bug where you can't tp to lockers or see their auras in power

[torn narwhal]

Interesting, never had this one. But I rarely play Dredge so its not surprising

[sly sapphire]

Should i get Dracula or Ghoul?

[ruby robin]

dracula

[lilac ore]

It was on Ormond Resort. My only power was returning back to the remnant and still got 4k

[cedar field]

i just got the game a couple days ago, as of rn i got feng min, meg, and kate unlocked, i have left over coins and was wondering if there’s another survivor i should buy?

[quartz hemlock]

you got bill

[rapid zinc]

What are some killers I should prioritize getting their shared perks?

[cedar field]

yea he comes unlocked

[torn narwhal]

Coins? You mean shards or auric cells?

[quartz hemlock]

clown

[cedar field]

cells sorry lolll

[torn narwhal]

Clown and Artist have best perks among original killers. Nemesis and The First are the best among licensed

[lilac ore]

Artist

[torn narwhal]

Its better to spend cells only on licensed characters because you can by original ones with iri shards which you gets just by playing the game. So I would recommend Nicholas Cage, he has best perks among licensed survivors

[cedar field]

oki tyyy

[quartz hemlock]

and if you haven't gotten these yet hillbilly and trapper have perks that you may use a lot such as enduring or agitation

[ruby robin]

are you in a hurry? things go on sale after june 14th for the game's 10th anniversary. I'd prestige (level to 50 and then click the middle of the bloodweb)/unlock Kwon next. then any of Dwight, Jill, or Nea after

[dry lake]

would it be bad to use them together? I was thinking resurgence off the record DS and DH but maybe deliverance instead of something else

[cedar field]

rn i got feng and meg prestige 1, working on kate now

[torn narwhal]

Its not bad, I would call this overkill. Like Off The Record helps you to extend chase if killer will decide to tunnel you after the hook. And Decisive Strike will let you to escape killer if you will get downed early. But with help of Off The Record you can last very long time so you will never use Decisive because its timer will run off very quickly

[ruby robin]

if it were me personally i'd probably save the currency for the sale and just focus on getting meg/kate/feng to prestige 3 before getting anyone new

[torn narwhal]

I would recommend Plot Twist or Unbreakable. It denies opportunity for killer to down you and outwait DS timer

[ruby robin]

otr + ds is kind of overkill. i agree with quinavi plot twist is goated

[raw warren]

Hey Guys, i have a Question that maybe someone can answer. I played the game on Playstation for about 200 hours. Now i want to play on PC, i bought the gold edition on Steam to get more Survivors. I then saw that u can now connect the accounts via bhvr-acc. If i connect them, will the stuff from the gold edition be gone/ overwritten by the stuff from PS?

[cedar field]

oki sounds good

[ruby robin]

It will not be gone. Everything you have carries over.

[raw warren]

So the survivors i had on PS+the one from Gold edition will be unlocked?

[lilac ore]

Yes thats what merging does

[ruby robin]

Yes. There's no downside to it, just link your accounts. If by some freak chance you lose anything, put in a support ticket and you'll get it back.

[raw warren]

ok thank you very much guys. I didnt really see an explaination anywhere and in some games u have to choose/or it chooses for u which savefile u keep and the rest is gone. So i wanted to be sure. Ty

[timber hare]

hello guys im new beginner survivor, i like being support so i wanna hear your thoughts on my support build:
babysitter
borrowed time
botany knowledge
self-perservation

[ruby robin]

No savefiles in DBD. Everything is on the BHVR servers.

[noble whale]

does Diminishing returns also apply to perks that make ur terror radius larger?

[timber hare]

idk im new player so this may be incorrect, but as far as I know it applies to %s

[cold sapphire]

does anyone know a good build to annoy killers without using flashlights or toolboxes?

[north saddle]

Deception or scene partner paired with some survivors

[cold sapphire]

scene partner is the scream one?

[north saddle]

Yeah

Also I ran deception, quick and quiet, iron will, and lucky break and damn I bamboozled the killer so many times

[cold sapphire]

i'll go read what those perks do

[ruby robin]

just run sprint brust with scene partner and constantly SB in their face, it's the most annoying thing u can do

[timber hare]

can anyone pls look over my build it would mean alot

[north saddle]

Sure just tell us what ur running

[timber hare]

this
babysitter
borrowed time
botany knowledge
self-perservation

[lilac ore]

Borrowed Time isn't great after it was made partially basekit

[north saddle]

Good but swap out borrowed time for anything else

[timber hare]

why and what would be better option?

[lilac ore]

Personally i'd swap Botany with We'll Make It since you already have unhook perks

[ruby robin]

They already told you why. Its effect is now part of the basekit. It used to not be

[cold sapphire]

now that i've read what they do that does seem pretty good

[north saddle]

15 seconds of endurance is given when the survivor is unhooked.

Can u run it? Sure but it’s overkill

[timber hare]

I was thinking of that too but it's like 2/3 seconds difference, im a new player so idk if that matters much ina game or not

[vague moat]

any tips on how can i win in 2v8 as killer? 😭

[lilac ore]

We'll make it is 100% heal speed. Botany is 50%. It makes a difference

[cold sapphire]

dont play with randoms

[timber hare]

what would be better perk to run then, as you can see imma bit new to this game but I like support type build

[lilac ore]

Who do you have prestiged

[timber hare]

meg, claudette, william, lee yun, steve harrington

[cold sapphire]

is the perk where you throw a rock any good?

[crimson whale]

if i was to replace any perk in my gen slowdown build (corrupt intervention, pain res, pop goes the weasel, dead mans switch) with turn back the clock which perk would be best to replace

i was thinking pop goes the weasel but im not sure haha <3

[lilac ore]

<@&480465015267262484>

[copper glen]

✅➡️ Banned keeyhay0785 with reason Scams
(1 ban(s) on record | 1 total logs)

[timber hare]

Replace Corrupt Intervention

[ruby robin]

If you want to run support perks? I'd say Shoulder the Burden but that doesn't work with Babysitter. Why not run an exhaustion perk so you can keep yourself alive?

Or if youre only relying on self-preservation, couldn't hurt to get desperate measures for faster unhooks

[lilac ore]

Try Kindred, We'll Make It, Any Exhaustion Spd boost and Resilience

[ruby robin]

I'd take out Pop and put in TbtC

[timber hare]

okay so, desperate measures, babysitter, we'll make it, self perservation. does that sound good???

[lilac ore]

You can't use tbtc or pop with dms most of the times

[crimson thistle]

how to relock fps after unlocking?

[crimson whale]

oh why ? <3

[ruby robin]

yes it's good. if you have rebecca, reassurance is also goated when you need it. but you dont always need it

[timber hare]

that sounds good but not type of build i wanna do rn

[lilac ore]

Cuz you can't kick blocked gens. And when you approach they will run and block the gen

[timber hare]

i don't have rebecca but no money now to buy it, since i recently bought nemesis and prestiged him, because I also wanna play killer eventually.

[ruby robin]

I mean yea just run that build then. You don't need reassurance. It's mostly for sweaty games anyway

[gaunt glade]

freddy krueger or springtrap?

[timber hare]

legion

[ruby robin]

Springtrap has more cosmetics so

[timber hare]

thanks this recommendations meant a lot to me

[lilac ore]

Freddy has more useable perks. But Springtrap is stronger

[gaunt glade]

oh okk tyyy

[timber hare]

Drop Corrupt because better mid-game value

[crimson whale]

okay thank you !! <3

[lilac ore]

Corrupt is one of the best perks in the game don't drop it but who is the killer

[ruby robin]

If you cause survivors to fan out to work on nonoptimal gens such that the gen-spread favors your patrol-route in the midgame, that is midgame value

[gaunt glade]

today i got irediscent 1 rank on killer is it something or nah?

[timber hare]

true tho, forgot to mention im new to this game so my opinions may differ alot because lack of experience etc

[ruby robin]

if it means something to you, then it's something. it generally just means u grinded this reset

[lilac ore]

You get 1m bp in 3 days

[gaunt glade]

oh okok

it all goes on the hag for the perks even if i dont play it

[ruby robin]

Corrupt Intervention is generally one of the best perks in the game because it's the only one that directly lets u manipulate survivors from the moment they spawn when you dont have the mobility of like blight or smth and so cant be on top of 4 of them at the start

[gaunt glade]

and for the perks what do you thing hag or the nurse?

[timber hare]

is corrupt intervention useless on legion (that's killer I like to play lol)???

[ruby robin]

legion's a bit weird yea bc u chase 4 survivors in 1 chase and no one else really does that, and corrupt makes that harder for u to do on some maps

it's still good on them i'd say just not as good

[gaunt glade]

?

[timber hare]

aha yeah i get it noww

[north saddle]

No but it’s funny as hell

[north saddle]

Maybe deja vu to replace a perk?

[shrewd peak]

If you play to injure instead of downing off the bat, CI can be super strong on Legion. 3 gens locked down and you can easily get everyone hurt before it expires

[ruby robin]

hag>nurse for perks

[timber hare]

I'll try that, what killer has that perk??

[cold sapphire]

is there any build where iron maiden works well? i can't seem to find any real uses for it

[shrewd peak]

CI is Corrupt Intervention which is Plague

[timber hare]

I don't care much about going to gens honestly, I find them pretty easily most of the time tbh so I more care abt healing unhooking boosting my team as much as possible tbh

[north saddle]

Iron Maiden and one of dredges perk where if u open any locker any survivors within 8 meters of a locker will get revealed

[ruby robin]

people sometimes run it on huntress and trickster for faster reloads, yeah

[cold sapphire]

would it also work for xeno's locker perk then?

[timber hare]

okeyy

[ruby robin]

deja is less about finding gens and more about finding the optimal gens, plus it gives a speed boost. it's very very good

[cold sapphire]

wait it applies to reloads too? that changes a lot

[ruby robin]

yes, since reloads are a locker opening action, they are effected by locker opening speeds. it's not great on them since they both have had buffs to their basekit reload speeds some time ago, but it's okay

[cold sapphire]

now i'm really unsure on whether i should get trickster or like oni or blight

[timber hare]

I could see it make sense in gen rushing build but idk how much in non gen rush build like mine, Prove Thyself could be also good for support build, and I think it gives boost to gen repairing too

[ruby robin]

a perk called ultimate weapon used to be meta and when it was meta people also ran iron maiden on all sorts of killers to get ultimate weapon value too. you won't see that anymore, but if there's ever another perk that revolves around lockers which is good, you'll see iron maiden again

[timber hare]

my gf runs trickster and he/she seems pretty fun to play.. so

[cold sapphire]

i'll consider it

[north saddle]

Leader is good too but if u have Jeff then u can run aftercare

[ruby robin]

gens are the primary objective so gen perks have places in all survivor builds, even if just to give you info on where the 3-gen is so you know where to run away from in the event that you get chased

[timber hare]

idk what leader does but i heard few good things abt aftercare, does it let you see ur whole team??

[cold sapphire]

that's a really cool fact

[barren valve]

Who are good content creators to watch for getting into playing billy

[cold sapphire]

also does blight feel similar to wesker with his dashes or not?

[shrewd peak]

Not even close

[cold sapphire]

blight looks like playing pinball from what i've seen, is it actually like that?

[shrewd peak]

Pretty much. It's picking the right walls to bounce off of to create openings
More like billiards

[timber hare]

okay thanks, Im intrested, how many hours do you have on game since you know a ton abt this, I started playing 2 weeks ago and Im at 78h

[cold sapphire]

so does he have to reactivate after every bounce or does he automatically bounce

[ruby robin]

cruz is pretty good. i used to follow sofareks but i dont think he plays anymore

[shrewd peak]

You get 5 tokens. You have to bounce once to be able to swing. You get a couple seconds after hitting the wall to orient and then hit rush again

[cold sapphire]

okay that makes sense, thank you

[ruby robin]

i got 4.1k on steam and i think abt 1k on epic and some on switch

[barren valve]

Alright thanks

[timber hare]

sounds dope for my build too

[desert hawk]

when you purchase the dlcs, what are the charms associated with them do?

[ruby robin]

they're just cosmetics for your survivors' pants / killer hooks

[timber hare]

damn wow 💀 I only have game on epic since long time ago it was free I think and I just recently started playing it

[primal folio]

Nothing, they're just cosmetic.

[ruby robin]

Yes, it was free on Epic like 5 or 6 years ago. A lot of ppl got the game then

[cold sapphire]

does oni's rush work like hillbilly's ability?

[primal folio]

Not particularly, they control very differently.

[ruby robin]

no, oni can't bump on the environment like billy can and their turnrates are different

[cold sapphire]

so i don't have to be good on billy to be good on oni? because i'm abysmal on billy

[timber hare]

it's awesome loll

[ruby robin]

totally different skillsets outside of the fact that they both have boatlike controls at max speed and both have tech on specific tiles to flick their curves

[cold sapphire]

that's a yes then?

[ruby robin]

that's a "no, but"

[cold sapphire]

alright then i'll hold off on buying oni for a bit

[ruby robin]

being a good hillybilly doesnt make u a good oni, being a good oni doesnt make u a good hillbilly. yea i mean if ur good at the game obviously that matters for both and yeah if you get the logic of curves for one of them it gives u a headstart to learning the other

but like even in curves there are things that billy can curve that oni just can't. like some of the 2v8 filler rock pallets, oni cant curve those because he needs to accelerate a little bit and billy doesnt need to

[cold sapphire]

also what determines a killer's value? is it by difficulty?

[ruby robin]

it's a game, the only value u get out of a killer is how much fun they are to u in that moment. how much they make u giggle

[cold sapphire]

i might have worded that wrong, i was on about their price, but that's a good view on things

[ruby robin]

o lmao

[wide thunder]

Any other killers that function somewhat similar to twins? Easily my fav killer rn

[pure flicker]

What are great perks for pyramid head

[ruby robin]

no. but if u like the aspect of seeing the whole map at any time u want then singularity can do that too

[wide thunder]

Good shout been eyeing sing a bit lately thanks!

[pure flicker]

Houndmaster, skull and I think knight cause they control multiple little dues

[sage arch]

hi I'm trying to join a friend at the moment and it keeps telling us we have to update our game. both of our games are updated, I'm not sure why this is happening it says game version mismatch? idk someone pls help us

[primal folio]

Are one of you on switch?

[torn narwhal]

Old killers have their price reduced. The older the killer — the smaller the price. Standart price is 9k shards

[west comet]

I’m a new player, genuinely curious as to what I should prioritize to learn first as a survivor

[sage arch]

yes!

[primal folio]

Switch is a version behind and cannot play with crossplay currently.

[umbral lynx]

i was thinking about installing 2 reskin mods, 1 was a lightsaber flashlight and the other was a clone trooper reskin for dwight or something. Its on a site called gamebanana but idk if its allowed, can anyone tell me if its bannable or not?

[ruby robin]

corrupt intervention, nowhere to hide, eruption, any other perk like oppression / call of brine

[primal folio]

It is, yes. You cannot mod DBD

[umbral lynx]

aww man, not even sick star wars reskins? Alright well thanks man

[sage arch]

oh okay thank u so much for the information I appreciate ur help

[primal folio]

Otherwise people would mod Trapper's traps to be bright pink

It gives advantages.

[slate garden]

If nemesis and wes are together in 2v8 does that nerve the nemesis due to the antidote being the spray can

[sage arch]

does anyone know when switch will have the latest update?

[umbral lynx]

oh yeah when u put it like that i get it, just sad since i love star wars yk

and i havent heard anything about star wars crossover getting added

[potent dome]

When everyone gets 9.6.2 then they will get the hotfixes

We are on 9.6.1 atm

[ruby robin]

if u dont want to run the gen-kick build i suggested he also gets good value out of info perks in chase like predator and i'm all ears. i just prefer running full regression and relying on stuff like egg for info

[primal folio]

For Executioner, feel free to pick any combination of 4 perks from below and you'll have a good build:

I'm All Ears
Predator
Bitter Murmur
BBQ & Chili
Deadlock/No Holds Barred
Grim Embrace
Pop Goes The Weasel
Pain Resonance
Lethal Pursuer
Floods of Rage
A Nurse's Calling
Brutal Strength
Hex: Ruin
Nowhere To Hide
Zanshin Tactics

The idea is: The more comfortable you are with your power, the more shots you can land with aura reading perks, and the less generator regression you'll need to keep a game locked down

[pure flicker]

Yee its more or less predicting the hit caus of hes annoying charge up

[cold sapphire]

so there was a point in time where the doctor was 9k?

[west comet]

Best tips for ghost?

[torn narwhal]

Yes. And i bought every survivor and killer via 9k shards

[primal folio]

• Try to lean around objects when stalking when ever possible! The stalk rate is WAY faster.
• Survivors that you've hooked can also reveal you. Don't immediately go into stealth right after hooking someone.
• Try to learn how to '99 a survivor', meaning you stalk them all the way until just before they become exposed, and leave it for a later time when you can land a hit more easily or you are in a better position to confirm the hit.
• Crouching and walking backwards in a loop with tall walls can be an effective mindgame while in a chase
• Remember that attacking a survivor who is not exposed will reset their stalk meter. Only attack a survivor if you're okay with resetting all stalk progress you have on them.

[cold sapphire]

oh damn

[ruby robin]

most of the playerbase has done so atp

[cold sapphire]

is there a cap to earning iri shards?

[west comet]

Thank you 🙏

[tulip cape]

My current build for spirit is Nowhere to hide, corrupt, ruin, and agitation. My addons are rusty flute and sports cap. Is this build good?

[ruby robin]

i don't think so, you'll occassionally see people post screenshots where they have hundreds of thousands. idk why they dont spend but that's on them

[cold sapphire]

also are they ever gonna reanimate the old mori anims?

[primal folio]

There's no cap to iri shards

[ruby robin]

killers like trapper receive new mori animations via special skins like the naughty bear skin. this happens like once every 50 years or so

[cold sapphire]

wraith looks like he's hitting the survivors with a pillow

[ruby robin]

yea it's bad. if u want to be even more disappointed check out skull merchant's mori

[tulip cape]

I was thinking of replacing agitation with enduring

[cold sapphire]

i'll do that when i load up the game later

[ruby robin]

your build is good, yes. i wouldnt necessarily change anything if youre happy with it. maybe swap out ruin for pain resonance but ruin is fine

edit: actually ruin with nowhere to hide is bad. defintiely swap ruin for pop or pain resonance

[rustic carbon]

can you use dead hard while you already have endurance?

[tulip cape]

I dont have pain res yet im pretty new

[primal folio]

Yes, but stacking endurance doesn't do anything

[lilac ore]

Double endurance double the regret

[rustic carbon]

Not why I was asking but thanks.

[cold sapphire]

skull merchant doesn't look all that bad, it has some weight behind it

[ruby robin]

don't run ruin with nowhere to hide as a general rule of thumb

[tulip cape]

OH MY GOD ur right i just realized

Literally cancels nowhere to hide

[lilac ore]

You can use Pain Res, Surge and Tbtc with Ruin. Although to use tbtc they have to be working on the gen

[ruby robin]

if theyre new and dont have pain resonance they likely don't have tbtc. Just swap out ruin for sloppy butcher or something tbh

[tulip cape]

Why is sloppy the replacement for ruin?

[ruby robin]

because forcing them to stay injured against spirit is very dangerous for them and if they heal it's even better slowdown than ruin alone would be

[sweet spire]

Do any parts of Balanced Landing still work while exhausted?

[tulip cape]

So corrupt, agitation, ruin and something else OR corrupt, agitation, sloppy and something else

[ruby robin]

to be clear, i'm not saying to drop nowhere to hide. it's quite comfy on her. even moreso if you have pop goes the weasel or eruption to run with it

[cold sapphire]

what are the best passive aurareading perks?

[tulip cape]

So nowhere to hide, agitation, corrupt and sloppy or pop?

[ruby robin]

that's a relatively comfortable build, yes

other perks that are great on her are things like pain resonance, rapid brutality, coup de grace, dead man's switch... she can run really any chase or regression perks and do fine. flute and watch are very good, i'd always keep at least one of them on

[lilac ore]

There is only like 2 passive aura reads and they are Lethal Pursuer and Deerstalker

[tulip cape]

Thanks for the help ill see how it goes

[split hill]

yeah i started running a slug build because people wont stop running ds, fastrack and shoulder the burden

[warped cargo]

Can someone explain how the shareable perks work

[lilac ore]

Fast track isn't a problem perk anymore

[ruby robin]

Presitge the character to 1/2/3 to unlock the perk for all other characters at tier 1/2/3. Prestige means get them to level 50 then spend an extra 20k bloodpoints

[cold sapphire]

is it a reasonable reaction to put lightborn on as soon as i see 3 or more flashlights?

[warped cargo]

Thanks

[ruby robin]

yes. ignore ppl who tell u it's a worthless perk, it gives u aura reading and u can do funny mindgames with that info

[cold sapphire]

i find it funny to act like i don't have lightborn until i find a situation where i can confirm a hit

[opal summit]

can someone help me identify what these perks are? i cant send images plz dm me <3

[primal folio]

You can upload the screenshot to imgur and post the link here

[cold sapphire]

does anyone have tips on how to end chases more quickly on kaneki?

[smoky drum]

do these 2 overlap?

[lilac ore]

Blessing a totem requires you to Boon it

[primal folio]

I don't believe so; bonuses to cleansing speed do not apply the same bonus to blessing speed, suggesting they are tracked separately.

There's this achievement too

[true berry]

does the perk Road Life from Vee allow you to self heal?

[smoky drum]

tragic

[timber iris]

No, it only speeds up a heal action that you start by any different means

Medkit, selfcare, strength in shadows, or just a normal heal on someone else

[true berry]

Gotcha, thanks.

[unkempt talon]

Best add ons for the first hex build

[hard gazelle]

yall should i prestige vecna 2, nemesis, or kaneki first?

[shadow hinge]

what the usual ping for you guys i want to know the average

[noble quarry]

depends on how you play tbh, but i think henry creel/vecna 2's perks are extremely useful and viable

[primal folio]

I usually have about 30MS. Wired ethernet connection on a gigabit plan.

[hard gazelle]

i mianly just want tbtc, but eruption and lethal pursuer seem high value aswell

[shadow hinge]

yikes. im usually at 110, i also have wired ethernet,, good to know

[primal folio]

Your geographic location also plays a role. Distance to whatever the closest server is.

[hard gazelle]

i average like 20-30

[ruby robin]

nemesis

[noble quarry]

is anyone else experiencing a bug with thanataphobia on the survivor side where the red debuff icon doesnt show up at the bottom right? D: it really only shows up on legion afaik, i havent paid attention to if it doesnt show up when other killers are running thanataphobia.

[cold sapphire]

how do i improve on survivor? i usually die like 10 seconds into chase

[hollow barn]

Nemi
The less you have to gamble in the bloodweb for lethal and eruption tiers the better

[ruby robin]

play more. learn checkspots on each tile, one by one. watch survivors who are better than you and reflect on what you would have done differently and why what they did might be better

[jade bear]

Does 2v8 give less rift fragments?

[cold sapphire]

what's a checkspot and what's a tile?

[noble quarry]

it genuinely took me like .. 500-600 hours of playing before i got comfortable enough in a chase and could hold my own. i used to record my gameplay and watch back what i did wrong and what i shouldve done better :D

[primal folio]

No. Fragments are tied to XP, which in turn is tied to playtime in a trial. It's the same across all modes.

[cold sapphire]

i have like 40 hours, that's insane

[ruby robin]

tiles are how the map is organized. You'll notice that the maps are often composed of either rooms or of rocks, walled structures without roofs, shack, etc. These are all "tiles." Tiles have resources like windows and pallets for you to use in chase as a survivor. Your goal in chase is to prolong the use of these resources as long as possible so that your team can complete the generators.

Checkspots are areas on tiles where you can see the killer, ideally before they see you

[cold sapphire]

so like looking for the red spot around corners?

[ruby robin]

It's not insane, it's normal for a few thousand hours to be the normal point at which players start to become "good" in almost any competitive game... Rainbow 6 is the same. Fighting games like MK, Tekken, SF are the same... it's just the natural outcome of people having a lot of free time to devote to a hobby

[cold sapphire]

so i'll stay ass for a while?

[ruby robin]

Exactly. And against some killers like Wraith or Ghostface or anyone with stealth perks, just seeing their body too, since you wont always see the red stain

[noble quarry]

aaa 40 hours feels so new to the game!! dont worry tho! imo 85% of survs dont know how to properly loop even at p100. youre not ass and youre not selling, youre just new and youre learning <3

[cold sapphire]

alright i'll try doing that next time i play surv

[ruby robin]

idk man every game with a little bit of a learning curve is gonna be the same. you can accelerate your skill as a player by learning directly from ppl better than you

[jade bear]

I always get 5 fragments per Match... 🙁

[worthy cairn]

Could I get banned if a survivor who was left on hook until stage 2 starts letting me go for the others because they didn't get him, he occasionally body blocked, and I let him escape?

[cold sapphire]

alright, thanks for the encouragement

[primal folio]

Nope, you're fine

[cold sapphire]

so i'd learn from watching people better than i?

[weak jewel]

What survivor pack or anything that costs below 20$ is worth buying for the perks or smth

[steady mason]

does Michaels dash stack with coup

[lilac ore]

Only with Tuft of Hair

[ruby robin]

yes, you will. observe, then attempt to replicate the patterns you see them doing in your own games

[cold sapphire]

alright, will do

[rustic carbon]

No but his normal innate lunge extension does

[noble quarry]

you could, but everyone has their own playstyle and personality. i learned more when i just watched back my own gameplay and made note of what i did wrong or what i did right :3

[cold sapphire]

is there a feature in dbd to watch previous matches?

[noble quarry]

noo unfortunately not :( i play on pc, so i just use Medal TV to record my matches!

[cold sapphire]

i'll try looking into that then if it's easy to set up

[hollow barn]

Nope

[noble quarry]

if you mean dlc, imo nightmare on elm street dlc is super underrated! both freddy and quentin have very useful perks for killer and surv. id say halloween chapter dlc too but its gone </3

[shadow hinge]

It's also nice to have buddies to practise looping in custom matches to get a feel for it and then doing it in real matches, the maps can be a doozy sometimes

[weak jewel]

Like what perks for survivor

[noble quarry]

this!! you learn so much better by doing instead of trying to replicate what some comp pro surv with 10k hours in the game is doing 😭 🙏

[noble quarry]

specifically from nightmare on elm street dlc, quentin has wake up, emergency medkit, and vigil (one of my personal must haves in all my builds!)

[shadow hinge]

yess if anyone needs a killer to practise looping with i'd be down, im trying to practise it myself :,) guide videos on yt help too

[cold sapphire]

would enduring and spirit fury work well on kaneki?

[daring sand]

is there a reason why hex builds have become more common? i haven't played in a bit

[ruby robin]

there's more hexes and thrill of the hunt got a juicy buff some time ago 1.5 yrs ago

[daring sand]

ooh alright, thank you

[tired wagon]

How is Fragile Wheeze one of nurses best addons?

[red oyster]

Is Deathslinger gun suppose to be able to shoot through boarded up windows and such?

[pearl tinsel]

It can work, but Kaneki can play around pallets much more easily than a lot of other M1 killers due to his mobility and ability to vault them

[pearl tinsel]

Yes, the hitbox of his Redeemer is very small

[ruby robin]

yea, through some of them with peakholes. but it takes time to learn the quirks of which ones have invisible barriers

[pearl tinsel]

Yea some places have bigger hit boxes than it seems, but boarded windows don’t have additional hitboxes

[cold sapphire]

Is his vault any faster than a survivor's? most of the time they're already on the next looping spot when the animation finishes

[pearl tinsel]

He does vault slower than survivors do

[cold sapphire]

so should i just end my ability and break the pallet instead?

[rustic carbon]

He vaults at the same speed as a survivor slow vault

[ruby robin]

if they're holding w just leap up to them. if they're being smart about playing the pallet just break the pallet. some of them you can play off of. some of them you need to break

[rustic carbon]

You can play around pallets without needing to break them or even using your power.

[cold sapphire]

how would i do that?

[lilac ore]

Mindgames

[cold sapphire]

that's another term i'm not familiar with

[rustic carbon]

Depends on the pallet but generally you move in the direction they are vaulting then quickly move back or walk backwards before lunging to get a hit on them as they vault back. When people talk about how "safe" a pallet is they are talking about how easy it is to hit a survivor around a pallet

[pearl tinsel]

It’s basically outsmarting your opponent

and predicting what your opponent is gonna do, then countering that

[lilac ore]

Applies to real life and you'll be hearing it alot in dbd

[cold sapphire]

would it be smart to try and get a grab when they vault over?

[topaz snow]

once you are already iri 1 what do pips do for you? just extra bp?

[pearl tinsel]

Once you hit iri 1, pips do nothing

[topaz snow]

ah thats a shame they should give like 1k bp everytime you get 1

[cold sapphire]

so like faking a movement to make them run into you?

[rustic carbon]

grabbing requires yo ubeing right there, so its more realistic to just lunge to get a hit on them. Only character that can grab from a pallet mindgame reliably afaik is Hag due to how her mindgames work

[lilac ore]

You can suggest it on surveys @topaz snow

[pearl tinsel]

For example yeah

[cold sapphire]

i am unfamiliar with hag, i've genuinely never seen one in game or on social media

[topaz snow]

where would i find these surveys?

[ruby robin]

you said you have 40 hours. just keep playing. you'll see her. i've put in 5 hag games today

[solemn dagger]

What is the BEST survivor build for someone who isn't good at chase 💔 im doing a custom w my try hard friend and they're killer and I suck at survivor so bad

[pearl tinsel]

She’s not a very popular killer to face at this time

But you’ll see one at some point

[cold sapphire]

all i see is deathslinger, vecna and spirit

[ruby robin]

self-preservation, deja vu, sprint burst, resurgence or any team perk like kindred

[cold sapphire]

also what am i supposed to do against vecna if he can just hit me across half the map

[solemn dagger]

Tyty

[topaz snow]

she has very good base set perks one of the most meta currently, but other than that most ppl rank her pretty low you need to know her very well to get good map placement. but thats the same with every killer it can be very strong in the correct hands

[rustic carbon]

She can set traps on the ground. When a survivor enters the aoe of a trap it suddenly spawns a fake version of her with a TR and plays chase music. She can then teleport to the trap for as long as its active and immediately lunge attack out of it.

If you set a trap in front of a downed pallet, a survivor who vaults the pallet into the trap will vault backwards again most of the time. If you are chasing them, you just don't teleport and grab them as they vault straight into you

[pearl tinsel]

Are you talking about stranger things Vecna?

Or Lich

[cold sapphire]

yeah the newer one

[ruby robin]

it wouldn't be a bad idea to just run windows of opportunity and set a goal of actively trying to get better at chase each game tho

[cold sapphire]

can they disable traps like with trapper?

[solemn dagger]

Mkmkkk

[pearl tinsel]

Ah, well you’d wanna stay out of range as much as possible. He’s only 4.4, so he’s not very fast.
If he approaches, you should pre-run. Use line of sight blockers to make it harder for him to predict where to place his vine attack

[topaz snow]

you can predict the placement and dodge, when he teleports to you, you just wanna hold w or use sprint burst... you can sucure a couple hits before he actuall wounds then kills you...

[rustic carbon]

Yeah but it takes longer. They also have to crouchwalk over to them or otherwise they go off. She isn't alerted to them being disarmed too for some reason which is annoying. Most survivors just bait her traps out instead of taking the time to disarm them normally.

[hard gazelle]

yall did they lose the license to michael?

[ruby robin]

yes, the license has elapsed

[topaz snow]

also predropping pallets is very helpful and try to not vault if you can bc he will just target the vault and hit you

[hard gazelle]

rip, does that mean hes never getting buffed?

[cold sapphire]

it just feels like they have wallhacks half the time

[pearl tinsel]

He was reworked just before the license was revoked

[hard gazelle]

oh was it a good rework?

[topaz snow]

hes still a killer in the game if theres a bug or they see it fit to buff/nerf him they still will

[ruby robin]

not at all what that means. just that he's not for sale. Demogorgon received a few buffs during the period that his license elapsed.

he also just got reworked and is unlikely to be changed soon

[pearl tinsel]

I’m all ears is pretty popular on him, which does give him aura reading after a survivor fast vaults

[cold sapphire]

would that be good on pyramid head too then?

[pearl tinsel]

That’s a debatable topic. Some think it made him stronger, some think the opposite

I’m not really qualified to say if it’s better since I don’t play him

[ruby robin]

no i hate not having tombstone

[pearl tinsel]

Yes, also a very popular perk on pyramid head

[hard gazelle]

they got rid of tombstone?

[pearl tinsel]

They did

[cold sapphire]

is there a chance of pinhead ever coming back?

[ruby robin]

ya too many ppl called us toxic and they reworked the addon to function differently

[hard gazelle]

ngl that makes me not want to play him, i feel like thats literally what made him unique

[pearl tinsel]

Never say never, we got stranger things back after a few years of it being gone from the store

So its possible

[cold sapphire]

well that's a good thing

[rustic carbon]

He's like A to B tier now yeah. Basically tier 1 and 2 are now togglable modes. Tier 3 now gives him a dash in the form of a fully steerable lunge that instadowns survivors and breaks pallets. He also has basekit tombstone (albeit only for people on deathhook). Tier 2 and 3 also have basekit extended lunge on basic attacks, reduced pallet/locker stun duration, faster vault speed, and increased break speed.

[hard gazelle]

ok so they didnt get rid of tombstone, but added a nerfed version to his based kit? so he doesnt seem that bad

[rustic carbon]

He also has zero falloff from stalking but can only stalk from a max range of 32 meters (or longer with an addon)

[rustic carbon]

The tombstone effect might as well not be there and he would be perfectly fine tbh. His kit is quite good now.

[cold sapphire]

did they lose the license for michael because of the new halloween game?

[ruby robin]

I wouldn't call his current basekit mori a version of tombstone. It functions completely differently. As of last patch you can't do it through endurance and it also requires them to be on death-hook

[onyx lion]

Guys today is my birthday

[hard gazelle]

So it’s basically like you have an ebony mori on but you don’t have to down them?

[rustic carbon]

Oh yeah he moves at 4.2 while in stalker (tier 1) mode now and doesn't have that insane lunge penalty. He also has an addon which makes him move at 4.4 while in stalker mode.

Scratched Mirror is also an irri addon now because of this lol

[ruby robin]

yes, precisely. the only thing it shares with old tombstone is that it lets you enter the animation before the survivor is downed

[rustic carbon]

And its in first person if you grabbed them

[hard gazelle]

So it’s practically gone, and he also just said they “nerfed” scratched mirror which is my other favorite part of him 😭

[rustic carbon]

We don't know but that is the general assumption

[ruby robin]

which is why a lot of us who enjoyed him before are unhappy about the rework. but if you just wanted him to be stronger without tombstone, then he's certainly stronger now

[rustic carbon]

No scratched mirror Myers is significantly better now. Thats why its an irri. No lunge reduction and can move at 4.4 with another addon.

[cold sapphire]

is michael similar to ghostface? i didn't get a chance to buy him since he went away before i got dbd

[rustic carbon]

Oh yeah he also has an addon which restores the old version of tier 3 which is neat. Removes the dash attack and replaces it with what old tier 3 did.

[rustic carbon]

After his rework sort of.

[hard gazelle]

Why can’t they do this kind of huge rework with skull merchant 😭

[ruby robin]

if you liked the old version of him it's not really neat. it feels quite bad to be forced to use an addon and then only have one addon slot remaining just to get the weaker version of him back even weaker

[cold sapphire]

is there any actual counterplay to spirit and nurse? i get stomped whenever i go against them

[lilac ore]

You can treat the addon as a 50% lunge increase and access to m1 perks

[ruby robin]

they did rework SM, it's just that the rework (intentionally?) gutted her because at the time she was almost universally hated

[rustic carbon]

Originally he had 3 different states of sorts. He'd start the trial in tier 1, where he is permanently undetectable, moves really slow, and has a tiny lunge. He could stalk people, and if he stalked enough he would increase to tier 2. Tier 2 is like a normal killer but he has a TR of 12. If he stalked survivors enough he could enter tier 3 for a duration, all survivors being exposed throughout it, him having a huge lunge, and a normal TR.

Rework is what I described before.

[hollow dune]

i like how i pinged game tutors earlier and they didn't answer

[cold sapphire]

that seems more unique by a lot

[cold sapphire]

what did she do before? i've only faced her once and she seems pretty weak

[rustic carbon]

Spirit you just gotta listen for her and try not to run and stuff when shes phased.

Nurse is run for your life, move unpredictably, and try to avoid line of sight. If she has aura reading perks youre just dead.

[cold sapphire]

that sounds very fair and balanced

[hollow dune]

<@&253635077693505536> if anyone is online can you answer my question earlier

[pearl tinsel]

What was your question?

[ruby robin]

she's arguably the weakest killer in the game, yes. I honestly don't remember all of her addons because they reworked (every single one??) most of them

she wasn't able to change the rotation of her drones but she was able to place them on gens. they didn't give they speed boost they do now, they moreso acted as area control

[rustic carbon]

Shes been the most overpowered character in the game since she released, and she was the first killer ever added post launch

[hollow dune]

i pinged the role 18 hours ago yall should see it in your notifications

[empty sable]

this one?

[hollow dune]

yes

[torn aspen]

Well matter of opinion but I love Slinger's lore

[pearl tinsel]

That’s right up my alley

[cold sapphire]

so like a weaker version of singularity?

[pearl tinsel]

and yea that’s very opinion based. I really like Singularity’s lore

[hollow dune]

idk his lore

[pearl tinsel]

His cutscene at the end of his tome gives me goosebumps icl

[torn narwhal]

Plague's lore is sickest. All her lore is literally about the sickness

[ruby robin]

i wouldn't say she was similar to singularity except maybe in excelling at area control. she was very strong at that and only at that

[hollow dune]

what about doctor

[rugged berry]

You can read it in the characters bio. Same area as character selection

[warm dragon]

Doc mentioned

[hollow dune]

Ahhh okay

[shadow hinge]

What are the best killers to prestige to level 3 right away for perks, I already did artist

[pearl tinsel]

I like doctors lore just because of his relation to real world events

[warm dragon]

Doc's lore is actually, by my understanding, based on some irl-adjacent events

[pearl tinsel]

And as a reference to a real person

[vagrant socket]

What are the best killers for 2v8??

[warm dragon]

Same braincell, and same same

[hollow dune]

yea i read and he just had pure enjoyment of people's suffering

[pearl tinsel]

Yang Yongxin

He was a doctor who did electroshock therapy on young adults with gaming addictions

[empty sable]

You will find a lot of value out of high mobility killers like Billy or Blight

[hollow dune]

isn't houndmaster a pirate or something or am i wrong

[pearl tinsel]

Which is why his survivor, Feng, is a professional e-sports player

[cold sapphire]

i've been getting a lot of salty endgame chat lately, is kaneki really that bad to go against?

[rustic carbon]

originally those scan beams didnt exist among other things. Let her hard camp generators which became a massive problem. Got nerfed into the ground to how she is now, later getting some buffs last december. She was genuinely the worst killer in the game prior to her tweaks last december and now she simply stands alongside Trapper and Ghostface. And Hag arguable.

[pearl tinsel]

She is

[warm dragon]

She do be

[torn narwhal]

Crazy doctor who was doing lobotomy and shock therapy to his patients. He was doing some really crazy shit and experiments and government learned about this at one point. And... they invited him to special job, like interrogation or science experiments on people or smth like that

[hollow dune]

there should be a pirate map for houndmaster

[vagrant socket]

Why do all of the non mobility basically killers suck in this mode?

[pearl tinsel]

He was part of MKUltra and Project Paperclip

[warm dragon]

I think @torn aspen would agree lol

[pearl tinsel]

both real life things

[rugged berry]

Cause the maps are way bigger

Bigger maps mean less mobility is punished harder

[torn narwhal]

Because they don't have map mobility. Killers without map mobility sucks in basic 1v4 mode too

[hollow dune]

oh woow i thought the government was gonna stop em but they just enabled em and supported his work. talk about a fucked up gov

[shadow hinge]

Ayy dbd lore discussion my favourite type

[empty sable]

I wouldn't say they suck per se it's just the big maps + catch up mechanics might make it harder to keep pressure.

[pearl tinsel]

That’s the CIA for you

Google MKUltra

[ruby robin]

that just isn't true. nemesis is quite good and he has no
mobility

[hollow dune]

do you guys read the tomes?

[pearl tinsel]

I have extensive notes on the tomes

So yes

I read the regularly

[shadow hinge]

Only for killers I like but are there any particular interesting ones

[ruby robin]

what's the best written tome

[hollow dune]

i just read the first ones on tome 1 and i like claudettes

[rugged berry]

Also rq. Shouldn't most of this lore discussion go to #game-discussion orrrr

[torn narwhal]

Yes, but not all of them because i didn't complete all archives yet

[pearl tinsel]

you’re right, we should move this to game discussion

[cold sapphire]

is there any lore reason for alan wake being in dbd?

[shadow hinge]

Well I have a general question on tomes I guess do they give anything besides charms like cosmetics at all

[gritty dome]

does anyone have a fix for dbd crashing? its happening to my friend on pc but not to me and its only happening after this upd

[hollow dune]

me neither

[rugged berry]

The entity grabbed him. Like how everyone is in the game

[rustic carbon]

Researcher for interrogation techniques at a US government black site disguised as a hospital (his map). He got sick of the lead doctor not crossing the line enough, so he kidnapped his collegues and subjected them to his own extreme mind frying experiments. Government found him eventually and instead of taking him into custody gave him his own lab to study extreme torture methods for the US government before he was taken by the entity.

[cold sapphire]

didn't some go in willingly?

[rugged berry]

Executioner and maybe Sadako

But the vast majority are "you're playing in my trials now"

[ruby robin]

yes. Sable, Vecna, Plague go willingly

[torn narwhal]

Everyone "except Myers" was grabbed by the Entity. Like she created the Fog and either forcefully pulled people into the fog or they stepped willingly into it. Myers in an exception, he entered the Fog without Entity's invitation

[rustic carbon]

While trapped in the dark place between Alan Wake 1 and 2 trying to write his way out of it through manuscripts the entity basically manipulated him into writing himself into the entity's realm. DBD is actually canon to Alan Wake btw.

[cold sapphire]

which of the vecnas

[pearl tinsel]

Plague made a deal with the entity, so she also technically entered willingly

[rugged berry]

The one whose ACTUALLY CALLED VECNA

The kids only call Henry "Vecna" cause they're nerds

[cold sapphire]

that actually makes a lot of sense

[ruby robin]

the DND Vecna chooses to allow the Entity to nerf him so that he can access the Entity's realm and learn the secrets of the Fog

[cold sapphire]

so dbd actually has lore reasons for all the collabs?

[rustic carbon]

I highly suggest checking out his tome. Its fully narrated by Alan himself and is presented as another series of manuscripts like in the games.

[ruby robin]

yes. just read their bios in-game and the tomes

[rugged berry]

Actually wouldn't Tauire count as well?

Iirc she tried to sacrifice Jordan (Haddies brother) to the entity and got put on the survivor side

[cold sapphire]

which tome would that be?

[rustic carbon]

Yeah. Asside from Myers, he is kinda just there.

[shadow hinge]

Is there a tome for legion

[pearl tinsel]

She didn’t want to be taken into the realm. That’s clearly shown with her voice lines where she’s all distressed at her situation

[rustic carbon]

tome 18

[pearl tinsel]

There is, yes

[cold sapphire]

alright thanks, i'll check it tomorrow when i play again

[pearl tinsel]

Tome 3

[rustic carbon]

Legion got a full comic that retconned some stuff from the tome. Its good I recommend it.

[pearl tinsel]

Agree, I loved the comic

[torn narwhal]

But she was gaslighted and deceived by the Entity. Entity was pretending to be a god Adiris worshipped. Adiris believed Entity and willingly stepped into the Fog because of that

[ruby robin]

legion also just has a full graphic novel u can check out

[rustic carbon]

It was a series of comics released in issues not a graphic novel.

[pearl tinsel]

Yea but it still is technically willingly. She agreed to the deal

Like she wasn’t kidnapped like most characters

[cold sapphire]

they should really add an option to replace plague's sfx, i genuinely take off my headphones when getting matched against her

[ruby robin]

it's 4 books that make up a novel and it's very good. i recommend it

[robust crest]

Why's Vecna Stranger Things called Vecna?

[topaz snow]

for drac i have been using the bat form and wolf form a ton just bc in my opinion those are his 2 best forms, what situations besides when survivors drop pallets and camping hooks is hellfire useful for? sometimes i can chain hits but most good survivors are just good at dodging it

[flint kindle]

The main Kids of Stranger Things mistook him for D&D Vecna

[ruby robin]

because netflix writers couldn't handle the thought of naming things without grounding things in already existing pop culture

[rustic carbon]

The kids from Stranger Things refers to monsters from the Upside Down using DND stuff. Demogorgon is a demon lord from DND. Theres also The Mindflayer and Vecna.

[real crane]

im trying to use a controller for pc, every time i boot up the game its repeated connecting and disconnecting my controller, then i cant use my left stick but everything else works, what should i try to fix it?

[ruby robin]

there's demogorgon too

[rustic carbon]

Thats not the reason why lol

[old lynx]

his name is henry creel lol

[rustic carbon]

He was also called "The First" in season 3. People seem to forget that.

[ruby robin]

his human name is henry and his name as sanctioned by the kids is vecna. again, because the writers don't have an original name that will stick

[topaz snow]

what was he the first of

[cold sapphire]

wasn't he the first of the experiments? like the number on his arm

[rustic carbon]

The experiments by the US government involving humans and the upside down. Eleven was the eleventh.

[torn narwhal]

Kids in Stranger Things series were playing DnD, its a tabletop role-play game with extremely big lore. There is a popular character named Vecna, he was an Archmage, then he became an evil Lich and later he became a God. Kids named the monster after the Vecna from the DnD. Same was for Demogorgon, he was named after the powerful monster that was in his recent game

[ruby robin]

the test subjects at the facility. just like how eleven is one of them

[topaz snow]

ah okay i never watched the show tbh i just like vecna as a killer

[cold sapphire]

i would say you're not missing out on too much by not watching it

[ruby robin]

the first two seasons are pretty good

[topaz snow]

ive heard its good for the right audiance but im not that type of audiance

[pure flicker]

Is running deju vu, stake out, fast traxk and resilience good for a solo gen build?

[solemn canopy]

Is vecna the other vecna killer ?

[cold sapphire]

the later writing felt very ai

[ruby robin]

there's 2 vecnas. theyre not related except that the first is named after the lich

[rustic carbon]

Season 1 is genuinely amazing tho

[topaz snow]

theres vecna the lich and theres vecna the firstwd

[cold sapphire]

yeah season 1 was good, i can agree on that

[robust crest]

If I delete an epic games account linked to my bhvr account with main platform being steam, would that be lowk okay and safe?

[torn narwhal]

Yes, later BHVR got an actual Vecna from DnD (Dungeons & Dragons), he is the one whose name was given to the Vecna from Stranger Things

[ruby robin]

There's no reason to suspect this, and I say this as someone who thought the writing was not great

[solemn canopy]

Thanks

[cold sapphire]

my reason would be that their sentence structure is a lot like what chatgpt would spit out "thats not ..., that's ...!" being used a bunch for example

[ruby robin]

Correlation is not causation. But I'll drop this discussion to avoid clogging the channel

[cold sapphire]

mb i wasnt trying to start a discussion

[ruby robin]

nah youre good we were just answering the vecna q

[real crane]

im trying to use a controller for pc, every time i boot up the game its repeated connecting and disconnecting my controller, then i cant use my left stick but everything else works, what should i try to fix it?

[ruby robin]

have you tried playing other games with the controller recently or only DBD?

[tulip cape]

Hi again thanks for helping with my spirit build it works very well. Would haunted ground, ruin, sloppy and enduring be a good build or no?

[simple steeple]

have you seen what they did to Fast Track? absolutely gutted it, so it's not really a great perk, especially for solo queue now
swap it out for Hyperfocus if you have it

[real crane]

it works on everything else

[ruby robin]

Enduring is really good. I don't think you necessarily need it but if you run uchiwa with it then it's a really fun combo. Ruin is fine, sloppy is fine. Haunted grounds is... not great? but it can be fun

[tulip cape]

I was trying to be smart in like survivors go to look for ruin totem then get exposed so I can easily find and kill them

[ruby robin]

honestly if you just throw up haunted grounds and have some antsy survivors who are out there cleansing haunted grounds can snowball you insanely hard. but it's a big gamble perk

[pure flicker]

Alr alr cause idk what to with stakeout as im not a major survivor main

[ruby robin]

you know what. ignore what i said about it sucking. if you wanna run haunted grounds with ruin that's just a fun combo. go ahead and try it

[rustic carbon]

Sounds like a hardware issue

[real crane]

i figured it out, thank you though

[tulip cape]

i had to disconnect my mouse temporarily while using controller and it stopped doing that

[shadow hinge]

How do you guys get 8k in 2v8s, a lot of them end up being 7k and I can't read my teammate sometimes if they intend to slug or not because I know they can recover but at the same time are they trying to set up a trap? Just overall confused

[cold sapphire]

do yall think there's ever gonna be a hotline miami collab?

[pearl tinsel]

We have no way of knowing

[pearl tinsel]

For me it mostly comes down to hatch escapes, since there are 3 hatches to escape through

[ruby robin]

if it's ONLY not working on DBD that's very odd. I have a controller and havent had this issue but my first thought is that if youre on steam maybe the steam controller settings are resetting when you launch DBD

[rustic carbon]

Its one of the most requested long with a number of other things.

[real crane]

i have a keyboard that has a joystick on it, had to unplug it because it was recognizing it before my controller

[cold sapphire]

if there is i just hope they don't make jacket work like he does in vd

[ruby robin]

stop trying to read your teammates and just hop on voice comms with a friend. it's always going to be a gamble on whether your teammate is good if you just go in with random ppl every time

[shadow hinge]

Yeah usually it's that but I can't tell if sometimes ppl leave ppl bleeding out when there's like three ppl left to avoid hatch spawning, I don't keep track of who's been hooked how many times

[rustic carbon]

Hed probably be a skin for Legion or Trickster

[cold sapphire]

i can see legion but trickster not so much

[ruby robin]

makes sense. glad you figured it out!

[shadow hinge]

So I assume this means if my teammate isn't picking the surv up then I should pick up instead

[rustic carbon]

Bat and knife throwing with rewards for combos

[cold sapphire]

i feel like trickster would be biker if he got a collab skin, since biker throws knives

[rustic carbon]

You cna throw knives as Jacket though.

[pure flicker]

Is potiential engery good?

[cold sapphire]

you can throw a knife, not have multiple on you and spam

[ruby robin]

no.

[rustic carbon]

Thats fair

[rugged berry]

Its only use is breaking 3 gens you didn't break early for some reason

[simple steeple]

Stake Out just makes it so the blacked out good skill check zones are considered the white great skill checks, alongside giving an additional 1% progress to whatever you're doing

[silent wharf]

any word on the Nintendo switch update

[pure flicker]

What are good gen perks?

[cold sapphire]

i like deja vu if you're on about survivor

[rugged berry]

Tuesday or Thursday

[pure flicker]

Im already running that

[pearl tinsel]

Hyperfocus + Stakeout is a popular and strong combo

Overzealous with a boon perk is also good imo

[cold sapphire]

is there any counterplay to tunnelling in 2v8?

[ruby robin]

You don't necessarily need more than just Deja Vu. If you REALLY want more, run a commodious toolbox with a wire spool. sprint burst is good for prerunning and then getting back to the gen

[pure flicker]

Yee I've been running deju vu, hyperfocus, stakeoue and resilience

[ruby robin]

this is perfectly fine for a build. is there something about it you're not happy with?

[pure flicker]

I dint hage many perks for survivors so I've been sticking with a gen build 😭

[ruby robin]

the build youre running is already one of the best possible builds for gen efficiency

[pure flicker]

Just want opinions honestly as I havent prestige a lot of the survivors as I hahe been a killer main

[rugged berry]

You have 50 pallets and on demand sprint burst if playing escapist

If you're getting hard tunneled. Then you have too many resources available

[ruby robin]

i personally prefer sprint burst over resilience but both are fine

[torn narwhal]

I'm playing 2v8 only with my friend. I have around 2.8k hours, I played a lot both survivor and killer so I know what my opponents will do. I also played a lot of 1v1s and scrims with comp players and some ladder too. My friend doesn't have comp experience but he also pretty good, he has about 3-4k hours. Be both know clock callouts and use them during the game to cooperate our actions. So because of that we can consistently do 6-8k (depends how much players will escape through the hatch). We don't win all games of course because 2v8 is very unbalanced and I'm playing Wraith who is kinda weak killer

[cold sapphire]

what do you mean by too many resources available?

[rustic carbon]

I duo with my brother. I play Trapper and he (most of the time) plays Nemesis. We pretty consistently get full kills if we don't get something like rotten fields for a map.

[jade bear]

How long does it take to go one tier up in the rift pass? Cuz lowkey i notice it takes a while... If ya don't do quest ofc

[rugged berry]

So the maps are about 1.5x bigger than normal. And theres around 50 pallets available. Not counting the fact Scout can rebuild them

[red oyster]

I would not worry about getting a 7k. That is still a decisive win. I would even say it is good karma to let one guy go. Something I do not see happening much this round of 2 vs 8.

[rustic carbon]

The fact they added og dead hard as a feature to 2v8 is mindblowingly stupid

[ruby robin]

the more survivor-sided it is, the healthier the mode will be... it's already lacking survivors

[shadow hinge]

Wait what does that mean

[rustic carbon]

Are you aware of what Dead Hard used to do before it got nerfed twice?

[spare bloom]

How do you counter fuckass ghostface users

[cold sapphire]

look at them

[rugged berry]

One person follows and stalks him

[shadow hinge]

Nope

@spare bloom we are shy if you stare at us for too long we will be useless

[spare bloom]

I play solo queue

[rugged berry]

Use your eyes and pay attention for him then

[spare bloom]

I don’t have eyes I’m blind

[ruby robin]

the Ui still gives u info. be aware of who's in chase and when you see them no longer in chase, be prepared to get off your gen. dont get stalked in areas where you can't easily reach a window or pallet

[cold sapphire]

also be aware of the fact you can't rely on terror radius

[shadow hinge]

Do gens in hard to stalk spaces

Be mindful of common stalking spots I guess there's always corners but they can also stalk from above if you're working below

[torn narwhal]

Its not just og dead hard. It Sprint Burst of command which you don't need to manage on 99%. Also you can chase two survivors for a minute of more, get two hits on them and then they both just use medic ability and heal each other to full HP. And Scout is always has wallhacking on you so you can't mindgame them

[rustic carbon]

Dead Hard used to not require you getting hooked to be used. It was simply a regular old exhaustion perk you activated by pushing a button.

It also didn't have the endurance effect, instead making the survivor invisible for a duration in addition to also actually giving you a brief and instant speed boost like Dramaturgy but without a windup. It was used by nearly every survivor for years in every lobby and it took years to get nerfed for some reason.

[cold sapphire]

which of the 2v8 classes is the worst?

[rustic carbon]

Sure as hell feels like og dead hard.

[shadow hinge]

Ohh so that's just the speed boost that the escapist class has now

[rustic carbon]

the flash save one probably

[cold sapphire]

is it even possible to save someone via flashlight in 2v8

[shadow hinge]

Very much so (derogatory)

[cold sapphire]

also how do you flash save against chucky? do you aim for the shadow's face or chucky's face

[torn narwhal]

At the shadow's face

[cold sapphire]

alright thanks

[lost gale]

am i tweaking or is anyone else not getting bp

it says i got 100k in a match but i only actually got 5k

[rugged berry]

How much bp do you have rn

[hard gazelle]

yall does brutal strength on singularity make you break pallets in like .1 seconds?

[lost gale]

about like 750k i think

[rugged berry]

Can you screenshot your bp for me? And the final bp gain after a match?

[lost gale]

i would have to play a match to do that is it okay if you wait a bit

[fair kernel]

is hawkins killer sided?

[shadow hinge]

Which 2v8 maps are weakest for ghostface in your opinion so I can mentally prepare myself

[swift sentinel]

Is m1 legion viable?

[rugged berry]

"M1 legion" is just. Normal legion

You should be m1 chasing most survivors after you injure them cause frenzy sucks. Good survivors will deny the chain 100% of the time

[torn narwhal]

Breaking pallet takes 2.34 seconds. During Overclock mode Singularity breaks pallets 75% faster so it will take around 1.34 seconds. I don't know if Brutal works with Overclock mode or not but if it does then it would be 95% or 1.2 seconds. So no, you can't break pallet so fast even with Brutal

[torn narwhal]

Big open maps like Thompson's House (Coldwind Realm)

[swift sentinel]

They should remove deepwound from legion it makes no sense

[shadow hinge]

So autohaven, Macmillan, and cold wind.... I sometimes do better in cold wind bc of the fields but yeah this checks out

[rugged berry]

Prevents survivors from using endurance, mainly dh.

And its passive slowdown for when you do chain at least 2 survivors

[torn narwhal]

Macmillan is kinda decent because there are very tall walls and you can sneak up on survivors. But it depends on the map itself. Autohaven has way shorter walls and also many gaps in them so survivors have much better view and can notice you way earlier

[shadow hinge]

What's the most viable way to use legion ? I wanna use him to just blast mixtape tunes sometimes but I know feral frenzying everything doesn't get hooks in the long run

[pure flicker]

What are some good aura perks that dont relay on survivors being hooked and downed?

[rugged berry]

Frenzy healthy survivor

Are other survivors nearby?

Yes: chain to them
No: Cancel frenzy, m1 chase

[rugged berry]

Nowhere to Hide.

[slow zinc]

Did they deploy the bugfix patch on the Nintendo Switch yet????????????????

[swift sentinel]

Yeah but no one likes mending sim so they should just buff feral frenzy instead

[pure flicker]

Oh alr also is that dredge searching locker one good?

[rugged berry]

No

@swift sentinel you can take that to the forums.

Also dbd players hate smth bout every killer

and its only mending sim if its a bad legion or bad survivors

[torn narwhal]

Nowhere To Hide, Darkness Revealed (for Trickster, Huntress and Dredge mostly). Deerstalker, I'm All Ears, Predator (these two are good mostly on Nurse and The First), Retribution (if you will run hex build)
Also Rancor, but its't not an aura perk even tho it reveals survivor's location

[shadow hinge]

I like discordance but it won't work sometimes since you need two people on a gen

[swift sentinel]

Is it not at high level?

[ruby robin]

ppl run it on huntress

[rugged berry]

Wdym?

[jade bear]

So i couldnt wait until anni discount so i bought blight, spirit and hag (don't matter cuz i'm getting 3 dlc on anni so yeah) which one should i p3 first?

[rustic carbon]

Hag and Blight

[swift sentinel]

U said its only mend sim if its bad legion or bad survivor

[rugged berry]

Bad survivors heal constantly against legion, making the Legion do the smart thing and Frenzy

Bad Legions will frenzy at every opportunity. Either for fun or just, genuinely bad

Good legions will frenzy injured survivors but only when they're off hook or know they can chain

[rustic carbon]

Basically think of Legion as Ghoul without nearly as much mobility

[pure flicker]

Any good for pyramid head? As i just realised my build is horrible when survivors arent together

[torn narwhal]

#game-questions message
Perk recommendations from Pyramidhead main

[swift sentinel]

What if survivors are so split up u can’t get any chains off

[torn narwhal]

This is what good survivors always will do. You rarely will get multiple hits. You need to injure survivor with Frenzy ability, then came closer to him and deactivate ability and play for M1

[willow shuttle]

does anyone know when the tomie spirit skin comes back?

[daring sand]

i cant use add-ons for adept challenges?

[rugged berry]

Its a region locked skin iirc. So, if you dont see it. Either your filters dont show it. Or in a region where you cant buy it

@daring sand you can

[willow shuttle]

filters?

[jade bear]

What's a good build for ghostface?
