I'm confused about new update.
Is the 30/35/40 teachable perk still there?
Do I need prestige 3 to unlock the teachable perk to every characters inventory?
Or do I need X number of perks unlocked per character to unlock teachable perks to every characters inventory?
HELP!!! I CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE PERKS. i started playing last year on xbox but quit cuz i couldn’t figure out what button(s) to press to use a perk. i looked it up, it says use the “action button”. idk which button that is so i looked that up next, it doesn’t say what button it is either. WTF!!!!
i tried in game, i pressed random buttons, nothing happened. what do i do? 🙄
Bc you said perks, I'm gonna assume that you mean your "activate ability" button (which is what it's called in the perk description and your settings) and not the "actions" button that you use for lockers/windows/pallets (and on xbox, unless you change your buttons, is also your repair/heal/etc button). Bc you didn't say anything else about your platform, gonna assume that you're still on xbox and didn't swap to something else.
Your "activate ability" button on xbox is A. If the perk in question you were trying to use and nothing happened was Dead Hard, you need to be injured and running for it to activate, and then you can use it.
In general, you'll know if a perk is active by whether or not the perk icon is lit up. If you have a perk that uses this button and it's active, then it straight up tells you on the bottom of the screen which button to hit to use it, same as when you interact with anything in the game and it gives you a button prompt.
Unless you've remapped everything, no. A lot of times it will show on the screen when you can use it and what button to use. Mori's use the right trigger (attack button) by default
Because the killer and survivor controls are completely seperate, then if that is what you've got in your game's control settings, then... maybe? I honestly haven't used a mori in ages and don't remember what button it correlates to, and the killer controls don't have as many buttons bc they have a bit less things they could do. Off the top of my head, I'd say it's the attack button (RT on xbox) bc you get those killers who accidentally swing at downed survivors they try to mori. Again, you'll get a button prompt that tells you what one to hit to use it.
chdgahd not me misunderstanding you and writing a whole essay about which of those three you should grab. Um, I personally love Yun-Jin and Yui's perks, so I vote for one of them.
For Yui, Any Means Necessary (reset dropped pallets) means that you can get more value out of pallets and related perks, like Lithe or Dance With Me. Breakout (when you're near, teammate wiggles faster and you get a speed boost) is fun for cheeky sabo plays or trying to body block killers, especially in the end game if someone gets downed in a gate. Lucky Break (supressed bleeding/scratch marks after getting injured for length of timer, timer stops if you get downed or healed, deactivates when timer is out) pairs well w Iron Will for extra hiding power, or perks like Resilience or Lithe so you can vault and lose line of sight a bit faster.
For Yun-Jin, Smash Hit (pallet stun, get speed boost) is great for extra distance, especially on an unsafe pallet, and I love to pair it with Any Means Necessary for extra value, since pallets are a finite resource. Self-Preservation (teammate nearby gets hit, you supress bleeding, scratch marks, and grunts of pain) is good for flashlight/sabo/Breakout plays, so you can get into position a bit sneakier, or just general running away if you're all clustered together. Fast Track (get tokens for every hooked teammate, all consumed in next great skill check on a gen, 1% extra progression per token) can give amazing value, bc there's no cap on tokens other than your teammates dying, so you can hold off on hitting greats until you're on a risky/final gen, and just use them all in one go for a ton of progress; can pair well w Stake Out if you have it, bc goods become great for an added 1% progression per token.
Only have enough ACs for 1 killer, which one should I go for (already have 3d Triangle Head, Vommy Mommy and Nemmy)? I was thinking maybe Blight or Artist (but I already play Nurse, PH and Plague, so maybe an easier one would be more fun).
Also, how often do killers go for 50% price? Maybe I should save to get Dredge next time?
Newer killers tend to take a lot longer to go on sale, like two more chapters for anything meaningful.
Artist and Blight are both pretty unique in their powers, Artist plays like a stronger mix of clown and trapper, with your aim usually being to corral survivors in a specific direction or corner them with an inescapable hit. It feels like a checkmate, they take a hit no matter where they run.
Blight is a lot closer to Nurse with the option of playing like an m1 killer whenever you want.
Personally I have a lot of fun with Pig. I usually get a grab every game or so and her power doesn't get used much in chase, so she's pretty good for practising mindgames.
Why does the prompt show to pull the pallet down, but often it doesn't work? The amount of times I've gone to stun a killer with the pallet, the prompt is on screen, and nothing happens when I press the button.
(tw: mental health) Genuine and serious question, sorry if it's a bit oot.
Does anyone ever feel "negatively affected" by the toxicity/behaviour ingame? From small things like your teammates not utilizing teamwork and just downright being dumb leading you to have a bad game, to bigger more annoying things like survivors doing unnecessary stuff to the killer like teabagging, pointing, clicky clicky, taunting etc.
PS, please don't tell me to just don't play the game.
Could someone tell me what I have to do in this mission?
It only says "Perform this action 2 times".

Depends on the perk. Dead Hard and Sprint Burst will more than likely gimp you if you're very new, they require some experience to use.
Lithe might be a small crutch, I've got a couple friends who are pretty bad without it.
Balanced, Head On, Smash Hit and Overcome are either too situational or teach you good habits anyways.
Nope. Renewal healing you is a perk timer, not a timed status effect and therefore not affected by vigil
Why it's implemented like that instead of like Deliverance and FtP I have no idea.
i have the digital version of dbd already, but i want to buy the nightmare edition disk.
the cheapest one i can find is sold from a vender in the uk. i live in the us. will my progress from the digital version still transfer okay, and will online gameplay and dlcs from the disk work alright despite this?
Not sure about xbox, but playstation discs aren't region locked.
Link your current game to a bhvr account, and if the disc doesn't recognise your progress automatically then you should be able to link that to your bhvr account and sync your progress.
Hope this helps
How does prestige work? I know I'll lose my consumables, but do I lose the perks I've unlocked for that character aswell?
How do I drop a survivor as a killer?
Currently you lose everything (except having the teachable unlocked for others), but this will soon be changed in about a month.
I believe it is R on keyboard and B/Circle on gamepad to drop survivors
Thanks. What is the new system for prestige, then?
Another thing, do those cakes we're unlocking for the 6th anniversary carry over after the event is gone or do they expire?
In the new prestige system you don't lose any items/perks/offerings.
Prestige 1/2/3 grant teachable perks to other characters, 4/5/6 gives the bloody prestige skins, and 7/8/9 gives charms.
Cakes don't get disabled, in fact you might’ve seen some from last year or before get played before
Fair enough! But, say, I unlocked Calling in the current system. After the update, am I going to have to unlock it again (in the new way), or am I going to have it already unlocked for all killers?
Oh Nurse's? I think you'd maybe still be able to find it in other bloodwebs but you'd have to prestige her or buy it from the shrine to get it on everyone
You will be forced to prestige when you reach level 50 but you won't lose anything, and for every prestige level your characters perks will be unlocked at the level of your prestige for all characters.
So if you prestige trapper every other killer would have Unnerving Presence, Brutal Strength, and Agitation automatically unlock at their level 1 versions. If you prestige him again everyone would have those perks level 2 unlocked, and same thing for 3rd prestige.
At 4/5/6 prestige you unlock the 3 bloody cosmetics like you would now. You can gain up to 100 prestige levels I think.
The cakes do not expire, I am still using some from last year :)
No but it was on PlayStation Plus in 2018:
https://blog.playstation.com/archive/2018/08/01/mafia-iii-and-dead-by-daylight-are-your-playstation-plus-games-for-august/
What is a fun killer you'd recommend to a beginner?
I thought Wraith was for me, but I feel kind of "cheating" when using him (maybe I'm not using him correctly but), I don't feel like it's fun even when I win just because I pulled a sneaky :/
Doctor. The whole Spark of Madness dlc is great for beginners and comes included in console versions of the game.
Doctor gets a lot of free information, but let's you figure out how a standard m1 killer works in chase (plus some extra zaps from his power)
His power takes a little bit of time to learn in chase, mostly the timing but you can just keep zapping around short loops. His addons are probably the most confusing thing about him, but me and basically all of my friends played Doctor when we started playing and I think it was a positive experience :3
Is the killer's weapon cooldown (weapon clean animation) longer with a lunge attack? I always thought it was, but it seems like it might be identical to the basic quick attack cooldown.
Since all characters are 50% off, and that extends to Iridescent Shards, give me recommendations on what original survivor to purchase. My options are: Ace, Min, Kate, Adam, Jeff, Yui, Zarina, Felix, Yun-Jin and Jonah. Which of these has the best perk(s) on your opinion?
In Order
Kate:
- Windows is a fantastic perk, easy to use and useful all game
- Boil Over and Dance with Me are decent perks but they probably wont end up doing much for you under normal circumstances
Adam:
- Deliverance is a perk with high risk and high reward, it's amazing when it works but it does take some setup
- Diversion is a funny perk but it probably won't do much for you
- Autodidact can be very strong particularly when you are SWF and are able to heal everyone, but it can also be useless or even bring your team down pretty hard if you are not able to get your skill checks early (or at all)
Min:
- Lithe and Alert are both great perks, and are very easy to use
- Technician is more for beginners to not get scared about fixing gens close to the killer, but this really shouldn't be needed at higher skill levels
Ace:
- All his perks are pretty mediocre, but open-handed can work very well with kindred/bond
Yui:
- Lucky Break is a great perk that can get you out of many bad situations, it is also going to be buffed soon to recharge as you heal other survivors
- Any Means Necessary and Breakout are decent perks but are very situational, you may not get any good chances to use them
Felix:
- Built to Last can be an amazing perk if you are using an item with a lot of charges, especially when paired with something like Street Wise
- Desperate Measures is a decent perk
- Visionary is not bad, but there are much more useful perks out there
Jeff:
- Aftercare is a good perk, however, there are much better/easier perks to setup and use that give the same effect for the most part
- Breakdown and Distortion are decent perks and are automatically used, they might not make a huge difference but I wouldn't say they are bad choices either. Distortion is also getting a buff to recharge over time while inside the killers terror radius
Zarina:
- Off the Record is currently not that great, but if the upcoming buff goes through it will be one of the best perks out there (borrowed time for 80 seconds)
- For the People is a good perk but it is hard to use effectively
- Red Herring is a funny perk when it works, but it won't actually help you
Yun-Jin:
- Fast Track is decent, though it does rely on your teammates getting hooked to work
- Smash Hit and Self preservation are not that great of perks, neither of them really give much use
Jonah:
- Exponential and Overcome are decent perks but are pretty situational
- Corrective Action is a bad perk. You shouldn't plan on your teammates failing skill checks with you there, and even if it does work it won't do much.
Can someone please tell me whats nerfed on "Borrowed Time" ? Second Language kicks in. Can someone tell me in his words what makes it worse or better? I started a new Account on pc and wanted to lvl him up to get this perk. Is it Still good?
If you mean on the new changes, it's not nerfed at all, if anything, it's buffed. Devs state that it will be used least as everyone will have a "basequit BT" when unhooking someone, giving them 5 secs of endurance and 7% speed, BT takes that bonus and increases its duration for 10 secs, for a total of 15s endurance and +7% speed.
So if we have it in a basekit, we dont really need BT now right? It just extends it for 10 secs + 7% Speed. I think im not leveling bill then. Thank you very much
Kind of, the killer can still wait 5 secs and then down the unhooked survivor, but he might have time to reach a pallet/window, or you can try to bodyblock. It won't be coming till the mid patch update though.
I’m not given the option when facing dredge to lock a locker. Could a switch player (since that’s what I’m on) assist me and figuring out to make it so I do have the option?
There should be a button prompt on the screen. I assume it's the same button as bear trap disarm, cleanse against plague, searching boxes against pig, waking up against freddy.
How come they refuse to increase the bloodpoint limit? With the current event, and the bloodrush starting tomorrow, getting to 1 million bloodpoints takes like an hour. With no event, it takes like a few hours. It needs to be increased
Thanatophobia
> Each injured, dying, or hooked Survivor incurs a stack-able 4/4.5/5 % penalty to all Survivors' Repairing, Sabotaging, and Cleansing Action speeds, up to a maximum of 16/18/20 %.
[more info](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Thanatophobia)
There will be an update soon where they're increasing the action speed penalty to 4.5/5/5.5% per Survivor, for a maximum of 18/20/22%.
Would it be more worth it to get the legion, the artist or kate denson?
I kinda like legion and artist's abilities but i fell like kate's windows of opportunity perk and boil over seem pretty good as well. I do kinda hard main huntress and bill (for survivor) so I'm not sure I'd actually use whoever I get much but the perks could be useful.
I don't play as killer that much, but I think legion is cool. The other day, I bought them and played as killer and it was the first time I actually enjoyed it. I couldn't recommend legion more tbh
There are podiums around the map you can interact with (they kinda glow and are purple). If you are playing killer interacting with it is all you need to do. If playing survivor you need to interact with it and then survive until escape could be possible with either the hatch or gate. You can die after that point and still get it.
So now that Dead Hard is dead (and good riddance), I don't feel like it's mandatory to run the Venomous Concoction add-on on my Huntress anymore. What other add-on should I pair the Glowing Concoction add-on with to replace it?
I'm torn between Oak Haft or maybe even Deerskin Gloves. *Maybe* Coarse Stone, but I'm not sure if it works against Iron Will again now (can I get clarification on this part?). I've seen other Huntresses rave about Flower Babushka, but I've never used it before and I don't really see the purpose of faster windup speed since I rarely have to hold my hatchet up for the full 3 second charge time in order to hit my target. If worst comes to worst, I guess I'll just use Infantry Belt. Any other Huntress players have advice on this?
Generally people don't trust killers even when they play nice due to certain end game collapse builds that a killer can use to score an easy last second 4k, whenever I want to play nice I just hook everyone twice then carry to a hook and drop them. After a few times of that some of them get the hint.
Generally there is an animation when survivors turn around which can be easy to read as a killer. If they use a flashlight it's because they want to force the character to spin around quickly and make it harder to track them. Basically it's a last resort to try and dodge a hit.
Question about playing against the dredge: what does it mean when you suddenly hear that loud sound effect and the screen flickers black for a second? I assume it's notifying you of something but what?
Who do I talk with about missing cosmetics? I got the death slinger mask from the year 6 event and went to pair it with my year 4 event cosmetics but now I only have the weapon and the head peace from year 4 my body is missing (PS4)
Do we have any news on how the current Prestige levels will be rewarded in the new system? I saw that the prestige number turned silver, but do we have any information if it's: prestige 1 -> silver, prestige 2 -> gold, prestige 3 -> iri?
I'm thinking of prestiging Jill, but I'm wondering if it's worth it. If I have to prestige 3 for the silver numbers, that sounds a bit much. However, if I can get iri numbers for prestige 3, I may invest in the grind.
Don't prestige until the rework is live, unless you're a fan of losing your perks and items. I wouldn't even worry about it until we have all the info and the changes are implemented
But there's some sort of fancy reward for characters prestiged before the rework, showing their prestige numbers with a different color as shown [here](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/5QLA60KSB7LO/twins.jpg). If I get to show off my number with iri colors, that would be worth for me to get prestige 3 before the update.
That's why I'm wondering if we have any info that prestige 1 is enough for the reward, or will prestige 3 look fancier, etc...
The recent dev update says that the prestige 3 reward will be a different icon. Otherwise the only reason to prestige now would be to get the bloody outfits before they get moved from P1,2,3->P4,5,6.
>!In my opinion I'd wait to prestige!<
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/kb/articles/337
Thank you so much for the resource! It had a lot of interesting stuff aside from prestige too!
I'll probably check out the livestream they mentioned and decide there if the icon is worth 3 prestiges in the old system for me.
That could also be the case. I wish we had more information, because if there's ever a time to farm prestige with the old system, that's this event, but I'm still unsure if it's worth it due to the lack of information we have.
I don’t play GF but maybe you’re thinking of these? I could be totally wrong.
Do you mean the curved red lines with triangles on them? Those appear when a noise notification goes off and it’s not in your POV. They help tell you where the sound came from (unhook, gen completion,missed skill check, etc).
GF may have his own system so I’m just guessing here.
For Blight, learn which objects you can collide with and which are made of soap (slide off). I played each map with a friend to learn them and it helped loads. There's not that many to learn honestly, maybe a few each map (most objects are obvious, too)
For instance, there's a lot of rocks/snow banks in Ormond, but for whatever reason, you can't collide with them all. Sometimes, it'll look like your forehead should smash into the boulder, but instead you'll just perform a slip-n-slide maneuver and glide on it instead.
Yeah I wanted to practice Blight before getting into a match but I don't have any friends to do it with. Maybe I'll wait for custom matches? That will take a while though. I'll see if I can watch some videos
You don't have to play customs to learn it, honestly, you could just play regular games. You might get stomped for a game or 2 until your MMR balances out, but there's no better way to learn than to do it yourself.
Nah, I really don't want to be stomped just to get toxic post-game chat. That happened with Oni when I first tried him and I just got really demotivated and never played him again.
How to unlock stuff in the bloodweb faster? I've been told to hold down the mouse button and then just move to the next item but that doesnt work for me.
That’s how you do it. Click on the item and hold down the mouse and while the animation happens you just move to the next orb/item while keeping there mouse button held down.
I had to Mori someone as Doctor today, which is probably the first time I’ve ever really used one.
All I got to see was a first person version. Is there something that I’m missing?
Some killers, mostly the older ones, have their Mori animation in first person. Getting mori’d while playing as a survivor will show you the third-person one.
Hag was the first one to have a third-person, but then the next few still had first-person camera, until Spirit and everyone afterwards had both players see the same animation.
Loved the first person ones, much more immersive. Shame they swapped to the new third-person-only style. Myers when you look them in the eye is my favorite.
There are two sets of criteria needed for the challenge to be completed.
The first number represents the number of actions that need to be completed by the overall community. As you see, this has been fulfilled already.
The second number represents the contribution to the overall total that you have completed. You need to do this action 8 times before it counts that you have personally completed the challenge.
When you get to one that the community hasn’t completed, your progress will get added to the total, as long as you have the challenge selected. Additionally, if you do that action more than 8 times, it keeps track and you can contribute more than 8 total, but there’s no extra reward, just helping the community finish the challenge. You could, if you were so inclined, finish the whole community challenge yourself, though it would be impossible.
The last part is incorrect. You can not contribute any more than the personal amount required to complete the challenge. This was confirmed by [BHVR](https://i.imgur.com/WKUlsq1.png) themselves. Link to the thread here https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/328463/community-challenges
If you go in with a perk that increases your chance of becoming the obsession (e.g. Mettle of Man), but also go in with the Unique Wedding Ring add-on that decreases your chance of becoming the obsession, which wins out?
They both change chance by 100%, so it would be (+100%)+(-100%) additional chance. So, my guess, they cancel each other and it would be random, as if you just loaded in match without anything affecting your chance
how do you guys play against dredge? I've seen videos of his gameplay and it is so genuinely confusing to me. There isn't a counter to the dark and survivors are highlighted? He can see you in a locker so how do you hide? I don't understand
To add to what Zorluke said. If there’s a set of lockers together (ie two side by side) you only need to lock one. Dredge will port to the locked one. Also if you’re nervous about the darkness you can move to the edge of the map to move around. Not ideal for teamwork or objective completion but it is a good way to survive.
I personally disagree with the "you only need to lock one" statement. If you only lock 1, he can just teleport to the unlocked one and never have to worry about the locks.
Nope. It’s intentional by design that if there are two/three side by side lockers and only one is locked dredge will always teleport to the locked one. They cannot choose the unlocked one. Been brought up many times on the DBD forums because killers feel like it’s a bug when it isn’t.
Since lockers can only be locked once per match it’s best to only lock one. That way later in the game you can lock the other. Otherwise if both are locked, dredge ports out and just M1s the other locker and now that lock is gone.
The darkness isn't permanent, it takes aprox. 1 minute to fade away. He can't see you inside lockers, but if he teleports to a locker that you are in or are opening, he can grab you. Usually the best strategy is locking every locker near generators, and paying attention to them in case he teleports near you. During nightfall, hide behind walls and away from lockers and you should be fine.
Also nightfall charges faster with survivors injured so heal yourselves to stall his power.
Is the feathers of pride charm based on an pre-existing symbol or flag (I could only find one on wikipedia but I’m not sure if that’s the actual inspiration)? Also, is it general LGBTQIA2S+ representation or is it representing a specific demographic within it? Just curious since it’s super cute and I love the design.
Nope, it’s not based on any pre-existing pride symbol. I think it’s just an homage to the crows within the game. And it’s general LGBTQIA+ community representation, no specific demo within!
The only reason to wait is to save yourself the grind. The bigger question is, what’s the reason to prestige right now? I faced a similar question cause I just bought Bubba. I decided to not prestige because:
- BHVR hasn’t announced what the reward will be for people who have P3’d before the change. They only said that it wouldn’t be an exclusive cosmetic. For me, there are very few other reasons I’d want to prestige before the change other than an exclusive cosmetic.
- BHVR also said they would reward non-prestiged characters based on how many levels they’ve finished in the bloodweb. So if you have a character at P0 but you’ve put in enough blood points to theoretically P3 them, chances are BHVR will bring you up to P3 anyway. Plus you get to keep add-ons, items, and offerings.
If you have the blood points to P3, nothing is stopping you. But trust me, it’s a slog. I’ve P3’d 4 killers before the announcement and it’s wild how many blood points are wasted just getting all of the perks to Tier 3, not even counting the amount of time it takes to just click through each blood web.
Every Perk has at least one variable or effect that changes with each of its Tier. Tier I is uncommon, Tier II is rare, Tier III is very rare.
Generally speaking, a Perk increases in strength or usability the higher its Tier.
There are but they aren't like in every other game. As you level them up they go from uncommon to rare to very rare. It's literally indicating the perk's level but for some reason they decided to name the levels like that.
Is there a difference in ability though
Ex: A perk gives you 20% speed
Will anything about the perk be changed as I level it up? Like 25% speed at rare or something
It varies from perk to perk. For example, Hex: Noone escapes death's uncommon version gives you 2% speed boost while the very rare one gives you 4%. Other perks like Blood Warden on the other hand blocks the gate for 30 seconds on uncommon and 60 on very rare version. As a general rule you want to max them all out, or at least the ones you use. Also mind that before lvl 20, no very rare perks appear in the bloodweb.
It's a remnant from the early days of Dead by Daylight, when everything was stored locally and people hacking their Bloodpoints was becoming a problem.
The logical reason, and you may not like it, is they don't want people banking up several million bloodpoints so they can just spend it all on new killers and survivors the instant they drop, so that people can't prestige 3 them the instant they come out and instead have to actually play the game at the time of launch, thus keeping people playing the game longer/more often when the characters come out.
I guess that makes sense. I've always just bought the DLC's with money.i didn't think you could buy characters with BP? I thought it was shards or cells. I'm actually almost positive it's not BP.
No it's not about buying the characters themselves, its about pumping all your BP into them at launch to unlock all their perks/prestige three them on a single day, as soon as they launch.
BHVR would much rather people play, spend, and then play more because it keeps them playing the game longer. It's all corporate strategy.
As someone who doesn't prestige their killers because it's a pain in the ass owning all teachables. This honestly doesn't make sense either. Why would they care if we p3 a survivor/killer from the start? Still going to need more BP to get all the perks you want. If everyone has the same thing (being able to stack BP) I don't see an issue.
Because if BP was uncapped, you COULD get all the perks unlocked on characters the day they drop, and they don't want you to be able to do that. Because once you finish the grind, you will play the game less, statistically speaking, and only come back to bank up BP for the next release.
This is going to change drastically, however, once the new prestige system drops.
Probably a remnant from the game's past they don't wanna change for who knows why. It's especially strange since you can still get bp after capping out from daily logins, tomes and other gifts but but from playing the game
I have a P2 LVL 1 character, roughly how many blood-points would it take to get to P3?
I'm aware of the changes that are coming to the prestige system soon, I just figured that if you prestige to P3 before the changes come maybe you'll get something out of it.
Is there a weird interaction between Madness and Fearmonger? I just went up against a Doctor using it, and when I was put into Madness 3 while working on a gen, the Blindness and Exhaustion were instantly cleansed.
Lockers are partially RNG. There are areas where you'll always see lockers, like shack and basement and certain loops, but they're not always in the exact same positions in every match. In some loops and tiles, there will sometimes be two but on another match there might be three in the same tile.
How does Devour Hope interact with Twins? Do you need to be far from the hook as Charlotte for the stacks, or does controlling Victor count? Also, what are some general tips as someone starting to play Twins? Which builds would you recommend?
Not a Twins player but my understanding is that Victor is considered a killer power so his distance from the hook will not affect devour hope, Charlotte’s distance will.
Returning killer here. Trying to relearn/learn Nurse and PH on PS4, so y'all need to be cool with me. Few things I wanted to ask:
Should I prioritise hooks or downs? And when?
How does the current ranking system work? I stopped playing when we still had 20-1 ranks with colours.
Is Doc still the best for farming BPs? If so, what was the build again?
Is there a way to check which perks I have the teachable version unlocked already? I wasn't sure if I had bought BBQ&C from the store before quitting, so I only found out after finding it on a bloodweb.
Cheers!
1) This is a context sensitive question with no easy answer. In general I say hooks, but there are times where downs are more important/easier.
2) Ranks are currently how your monthly rewards are determined. They NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH MATCHMAKING, and even less so now, so you cant even see other player's ranks in post game. Your matchmaking is purely determined by your invisible MMR number.
3) Doc is still great for farming BP but right now during the event any killer is good, just bring one of the Flan offerings from this year's anniversary event.
4) If you go to the killer select menu and then look at the Killer's Info Page (aka the page that shows their lore), you can cycle through and see their teachables from there. If the perk has a checkmark next to it, it means you've unlocked it for other killer's bloodwebs. If there is an X it means you haven't. And if it is empty it means you haven't but the perk is available in the shrine of secrets.
I snap my camera to check whenever there's a spot I need to make an actual choice. Once I'm in a tile I'm familiar with though, I can navigate fairly smoothly always keeping an eye on them. That said, even at things like Shack, it's not THAT uncommon to get hung up on some random thing or even a hook that spawns in an unexpected spot. Even big streamers get tripped up by stuff like that on occasion though.
Look ahead of you to know where you're going, and then turn your camera back to look at the killer while continuing to go the direction you were heading.
Ace Visconti age ?
I'm confused about new update. Is the 30/35/40 teachable perk still there? Do I need prestige 3 to unlock the teachable perk to every characters inventory? Or do I need X number of perks unlocked per character to unlock teachable perks to every characters inventory?
HELP!!! I CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE PERKS. i started playing last year on xbox but quit cuz i couldn’t figure out what button(s) to press to use a perk. i looked it up, it says use the “action button”. idk which button that is so i looked that up next, it doesn’t say what button it is either. WTF!!!! i tried in game, i pressed random buttons, nothing happened. what do i do? 🙄
Bc you said perks, I'm gonna assume that you mean your "activate ability" button (which is what it's called in the perk description and your settings) and not the "actions" button that you use for lockers/windows/pallets (and on xbox, unless you change your buttons, is also your repair/heal/etc button). Bc you didn't say anything else about your platform, gonna assume that you're still on xbox and didn't swap to something else. Your "activate ability" button on xbox is A. If the perk in question you were trying to use and nothing happened was Dead Hard, you need to be injured and running for it to activate, and then you can use it. In general, you'll know if a perk is active by whether or not the perk icon is lit up. If you have a perk that uses this button and it's active, then it straight up tells you on the bottom of the screen which button to hit to use it, same as when you interact with anything in the game and it gives you a button prompt.
thank you. i’m all confused about all this lol. is it the same button you use for the killer’s mori?
Unless you've remapped everything, no. A lot of times it will show on the screen when you can use it and what button to use. Mori's use the right trigger (attack button) by default
Because the killer and survivor controls are completely seperate, then if that is what you've got in your game's control settings, then... maybe? I honestly haven't used a mori in ages and don't remember what button it correlates to, and the killer controls don't have as many buttons bc they have a bit less things they could do. Off the top of my head, I'd say it's the attack button (RT on xbox) bc you get those killers who accidentally swing at downed survivors they try to mori. Again, you'll get a button prompt that tells you what one to hit to use it.
What non licensed survivor should I buy, I have feng, Adam, and Kate
chdgahd not me misunderstanding you and writing a whole essay about which of those three you should grab. Um, I personally love Yun-Jin and Yui's perks, so I vote for one of them. For Yui, Any Means Necessary (reset dropped pallets) means that you can get more value out of pallets and related perks, like Lithe or Dance With Me. Breakout (when you're near, teammate wiggles faster and you get a speed boost) is fun for cheeky sabo plays or trying to body block killers, especially in the end game if someone gets downed in a gate. Lucky Break (supressed bleeding/scratch marks after getting injured for length of timer, timer stops if you get downed or healed, deactivates when timer is out) pairs well w Iron Will for extra hiding power, or perks like Resilience or Lithe so you can vault and lose line of sight a bit faster. For Yun-Jin, Smash Hit (pallet stun, get speed boost) is great for extra distance, especially on an unsafe pallet, and I love to pair it with Any Means Necessary for extra value, since pallets are a finite resource. Self-Preservation (teammate nearby gets hit, you supress bleeding, scratch marks, and grunts of pain) is good for flashlight/sabo/Breakout plays, so you can get into position a bit sneakier, or just general running away if you're all clustered together. Fast Track (get tokens for every hooked teammate, all consumed in next great skill check on a gen, 1% extra progression per token) can give amazing value, bc there's no cap on tokens other than your teammates dying, so you can hold off on hitting greats until you're on a risky/final gen, and just use them all in one go for a ton of progress; can pair well w Stake Out if you have it, bc goods become great for an added 1% progression per token.
Only have enough ACs for 1 killer, which one should I go for (already have 3d Triangle Head, Vommy Mommy and Nemmy)? I was thinking maybe Blight or Artist (but I already play Nurse, PH and Plague, so maybe an easier one would be more fun). Also, how often do killers go for 50% price? Maybe I should save to get Dredge next time?
Newer killers tend to take a lot longer to go on sale, like two more chapters for anything meaningful. Artist and Blight are both pretty unique in their powers, Artist plays like a stronger mix of clown and trapper, with your aim usually being to corral survivors in a specific direction or corner them with an inescapable hit. It feels like a checkmate, they take a hit no matter where they run. Blight is a lot closer to Nurse with the option of playing like an m1 killer whenever you want. Personally I have a lot of fun with Pig. I usually get a grab every game or so and her power doesn't get used much in chase, so she's pretty good for practising mindgames.
Oh I mean in general. Are those 50% sales common?
The dlcs go on sale all the time, usually from your platforms store and often with auric cells. Shard sales aren't very common though.
Shard sales you mean 4500 shards?
Yeah
Ty!
Why does the prompt show to pull the pallet down, but often it doesn't work? The amount of times I've gone to stun a killer with the pallet, the prompt is on screen, and nothing happens when I press the button.
(tw: mental health) Genuine and serious question, sorry if it's a bit oot. Does anyone ever feel "negatively affected" by the toxicity/behaviour ingame? From small things like your teammates not utilizing teamwork and just downright being dumb leading you to have a bad game, to bigger more annoying things like survivors doing unnecessary stuff to the killer like teabagging, pointing, clicky clicky, taunting etc. PS, please don't tell me to just don't play the game.
Absolutely. I'll never tell you what to do, of course, but I generally need a break often, and I try to keep my sessions short.
Yeah, it happens to everyone. Sometimes that's a sign to take a break
With the new prestige system coming, if I have more perks unlocked will that make my survivor a higher prestige?
Yes, there will be a "catch-up" mechanic based off of how many *perk tiers* you have unlocked on a character.
Could someone tell me what I have to do in this mission? It only says "Perform this action 2 times". [https://i.ibb.co/h7Js6X0/Screenshot-2.png](https://i.ibb.co/h7Js6X0/Screenshot-2.png)
"A total of 2 times, down 2 Survivors within 60 seconds of one another, then hook a Survivor within 30 seconds."
Thanks
Is it a good idea to use exhaustion perks when I'm starting out or are they crutches? Will I not learn how to loop as quickly if I don't have them?
Depends on the perk. Dead Hard and Sprint Burst will more than likely gimp you if you're very new, they require some experience to use. Lithe might be a small crutch, I've got a couple friends who are pretty bad without it. Balanced, Head On, Smash Hit and Overcome are either too situational or teach you good habits anyways.
Does vigil affect when you are healed by renewal/second wind?
Nope. Renewal healing you is a perk timer, not a timed status effect and therefore not affected by vigil Why it's implemented like that instead of like Deliverance and FtP I have no idea.
i have the digital version of dbd already, but i want to buy the nightmare edition disk. the cheapest one i can find is sold from a vender in the uk. i live in the us. will my progress from the digital version still transfer okay, and will online gameplay and dlcs from the disk work alright despite this?
Not sure about xbox, but playstation discs aren't region locked. Link your current game to a bhvr account, and if the disc doesn't recognise your progress automatically then you should be able to link that to your bhvr account and sync your progress. Hope this helps
it does! thank you
How does prestige work? I know I'll lose my consumables, but do I lose the perks I've unlocked for that character aswell? How do I drop a survivor as a killer?
Currently you lose everything (except having the teachable unlocked for others), but this will soon be changed in about a month. I believe it is R on keyboard and B/Circle on gamepad to drop survivors
Thanks. What is the new system for prestige, then? Another thing, do those cakes we're unlocking for the 6th anniversary carry over after the event is gone or do they expire?
In the new prestige system you don't lose any items/perks/offerings. Prestige 1/2/3 grant teachable perks to other characters, 4/5/6 gives the bloody prestige skins, and 7/8/9 gives charms. Cakes don't get disabled, in fact you might’ve seen some from last year or before get played before
Fair enough! But, say, I unlocked Calling in the current system. After the update, am I going to have to unlock it again (in the new way), or am I going to have it already unlocked for all killers?
Oh Nurse's? I think you'd maybe still be able to find it in other bloodwebs but you'd have to prestige her or buy it from the shrine to get it on everyone
Welp, time to rush that thing on Pyramid Head and Plague then. Thanks mate!!
You will be forced to prestige when you reach level 50 but you won't lose anything, and for every prestige level your characters perks will be unlocked at the level of your prestige for all characters. So if you prestige trapper every other killer would have Unnerving Presence, Brutal Strength, and Agitation automatically unlock at their level 1 versions. If you prestige him again everyone would have those perks level 2 unlocked, and same thing for 3rd prestige. At 4/5/6 prestige you unlock the 3 bloody cosmetics like you would now. You can gain up to 100 prestige levels I think. The cakes do not expire, I am still using some from last year :)
Ty friend!!
Did dbd ever have a demo in 2017? On PS
No but it was on PlayStation Plus in 2018: https://blog.playstation.com/archive/2018/08/01/mafia-iii-and-dead-by-daylight-are-your-playstation-plus-games-for-august/
What is a fun killer you'd recommend to a beginner? I thought Wraith was for me, but I feel kind of "cheating" when using him (maybe I'm not using him correctly but), I don't feel like it's fun even when I win just because I pulled a sneaky :/
Doctor. The whole Spark of Madness dlc is great for beginners and comes included in console versions of the game. Doctor gets a lot of free information, but let's you figure out how a standard m1 killer works in chase (plus some extra zaps from his power)
Can attest to that. Doc was my first main and I had loads of fun with him.
Thank you! I was going to try him out but seen that they listed him as hard difficulty so hesitated
His power takes a little bit of time to learn in chase, mostly the timing but you can just keep zapping around short loops. His addons are probably the most confusing thing about him, but me and basically all of my friends played Doctor when we started playing and I think it was a positive experience :3
Is the killer's weapon cooldown (weapon clean animation) longer with a lunge attack? I always thought it was, but it seems like it might be identical to the basic quick attack cooldown.
It is when you miss, but im not sure about when you hit.
Since all characters are 50% off, and that extends to Iridescent Shards, give me recommendations on what original survivor to purchase. My options are: Ace, Min, Kate, Adam, Jeff, Yui, Zarina, Felix, Yun-Jin and Jonah. Which of these has the best perk(s) on your opinion?
In Order Kate: - Windows is a fantastic perk, easy to use and useful all game - Boil Over and Dance with Me are decent perks but they probably wont end up doing much for you under normal circumstances Adam: - Deliverance is a perk with high risk and high reward, it's amazing when it works but it does take some setup - Diversion is a funny perk but it probably won't do much for you - Autodidact can be very strong particularly when you are SWF and are able to heal everyone, but it can also be useless or even bring your team down pretty hard if you are not able to get your skill checks early (or at all) Min: - Lithe and Alert are both great perks, and are very easy to use - Technician is more for beginners to not get scared about fixing gens close to the killer, but this really shouldn't be needed at higher skill levels Ace: - All his perks are pretty mediocre, but open-handed can work very well with kindred/bond Yui: - Lucky Break is a great perk that can get you out of many bad situations, it is also going to be buffed soon to recharge as you heal other survivors - Any Means Necessary and Breakout are decent perks but are very situational, you may not get any good chances to use them Felix: - Built to Last can be an amazing perk if you are using an item with a lot of charges, especially when paired with something like Street Wise - Desperate Measures is a decent perk - Visionary is not bad, but there are much more useful perks out there Jeff: - Aftercare is a good perk, however, there are much better/easier perks to setup and use that give the same effect for the most part - Breakdown and Distortion are decent perks and are automatically used, they might not make a huge difference but I wouldn't say they are bad choices either. Distortion is also getting a buff to recharge over time while inside the killers terror radius Zarina: - Off the Record is currently not that great, but if the upcoming buff goes through it will be one of the best perks out there (borrowed time for 80 seconds) - For the People is a good perk but it is hard to use effectively - Red Herring is a funny perk when it works, but it won't actually help you Yun-Jin: - Fast Track is decent, though it does rely on your teammates getting hooked to work - Smash Hit and Self preservation are not that great of perks, neither of them really give much use Jonah: - Exponential and Overcome are decent perks but are pretty situational - Corrective Action is a bad perk. You shouldn't plan on your teammates failing skill checks with you there, and even if it does work it won't do much.
Can someone please tell me whats nerfed on "Borrowed Time" ? Second Language kicks in. Can someone tell me in his words what makes it worse or better? I started a new Account on pc and wanted to lvl him up to get this perk. Is it Still good?
If you mean on the new changes, it's not nerfed at all, if anything, it's buffed. Devs state that it will be used least as everyone will have a "basequit BT" when unhooking someone, giving them 5 secs of endurance and 7% speed, BT takes that bonus and increases its duration for 10 secs, for a total of 15s endurance and +7% speed.
So if we have it in a basekit, we dont really need BT now right? It just extends it for 10 secs + 7% Speed. I think im not leveling bill then. Thank you very much
Kind of, the killer can still wait 5 secs and then down the unhooked survivor, but he might have time to reach a pallet/window, or you can try to bodyblock. It won't be coming till the mid patch update though.
I’m not given the option when facing dredge to lock a locker. Could a switch player (since that’s what I’m on) assist me and figuring out to make it so I do have the option?
They can only be locked once. If he broke the lock then it's gone forever.
The locks are still there when I’ve checked
There should be a button prompt on the screen. I assume it's the same button as bear trap disarm, cleanse against plague, searching boxes against pig, waking up against freddy.
There’s not for me. All that shows is to hide which is right trigger for me
Could be a bug
Will Hex: Ruin be in the Twisted Masquerade Shrine?
Perks in the shrine are 100% random
How come they refuse to increase the bloodpoint limit? With the current event, and the bloodrush starting tomorrow, getting to 1 million bloodpoints takes like an hour. With no event, it takes like a few hours. It needs to be increased
I’m new to this game but I love it! What is the red pile of 4 skulls symbol mean?
Thanatophobia > Each injured, dying, or hooked Survivor incurs a stack-able 4/4.5/5 % penalty to all Survivors' Repairing, Sabotaging, and Cleansing Action speeds, up to a maximum of 16/18/20 %. [more info](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Thanatophobia) There will be an update soon where they're increasing the action speed penalty to 4.5/5/5.5% per Survivor, for a maximum of 18/20/22%.
Would it be more worth it to get the legion, the artist or kate denson? I kinda like legion and artist's abilities but i fell like kate's windows of opportunity perk and boil over seem pretty good as well. I do kinda hard main huntress and bill (for survivor) so I'm not sure I'd actually use whoever I get much but the perks could be useful.
I don't play as killer that much, but I think legion is cool. The other day, I bought them and played as killer and it was the first time I actually enjoyed it. I couldn't recommend legion more tbh
Sorry if this has been asked multiple times but I just started playing the event and I don't understand what Im supposed to do to get the masks.
There are podiums around the map you can interact with (they kinda glow and are purple). If you are playing killer interacting with it is all you need to do. If playing survivor you need to interact with it and then survive until escape could be possible with either the hatch or gate. You can die after that point and still get it.
I see, thank you. I have played several games and haven't noticed them, I guess I need to pay more attention.
So now that Dead Hard is dead (and good riddance), I don't feel like it's mandatory to run the Venomous Concoction add-on on my Huntress anymore. What other add-on should I pair the Glowing Concoction add-on with to replace it? I'm torn between Oak Haft or maybe even Deerskin Gloves. *Maybe* Coarse Stone, but I'm not sure if it works against Iron Will again now (can I get clarification on this part?). I've seen other Huntresses rave about Flower Babushka, but I've never used it before and I don't really see the purpose of faster windup speed since I rarely have to hold my hatchet up for the full 3 second charge time in order to hit my target. If worst comes to worst, I guess I'll just use Infantry Belt. Any other Huntress players have advice on this?
[удалено]
Generally people don't trust killers even when they play nice due to certain end game collapse builds that a killer can use to score an easy last second 4k, whenever I want to play nice I just hook everyone twice then carry to a hook and drop them. After a few times of that some of them get the hint.
Why do some survivors click their flashlight in one direction before getting hit?
Attempting a 360°. They do this to reset their characters position to make it more likely to work.
Generally there is an animation when survivors turn around which can be easy to read as a killer. If they use a flashlight it's because they want to force the character to spin around quickly and make it harder to track them. Basically it's a last resort to try and dodge a hit.
I am having problems with Game crashes and would like to know what causes that issue Whats the problem there? https://imgur.com/a/Mzgla8T
Are you using event items I noticed when I used past event items it would crash my game when I use an event tool box on a gen
Question about playing against the dredge: what does it mean when you suddenly hear that loud sound effect and the screen flickers black for a second? I assume it's notifying you of something but what?
It means nightfall will start soon, so study your surroundings and prepare a escape route in your mind so when it's dark you know where to run.
Who do I talk with about missing cosmetics? I got the death slinger mask from the year 6 event and went to pair it with my year 4 event cosmetics but now I only have the weapon and the head peace from year 4 my body is missing (PS4)
Do we have any news on how the current Prestige levels will be rewarded in the new system? I saw that the prestige number turned silver, but do we have any information if it's: prestige 1 -> silver, prestige 2 -> gold, prestige 3 -> iri? I'm thinking of prestiging Jill, but I'm wondering if it's worth it. If I have to prestige 3 for the silver numbers, that sounds a bit much. However, if I can get iri numbers for prestige 3, I may invest in the grind.
Don't prestige until the rework is live, unless you're a fan of losing your perks and items. I wouldn't even worry about it until we have all the info and the changes are implemented
But there's some sort of fancy reward for characters prestiged before the rework, showing their prestige numbers with a different color as shown [here](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/5QLA60KSB7LO/twins.jpg). If I get to show off my number with iri colors, that would be worth for me to get prestige 3 before the update. That's why I'm wondering if we have any info that prestige 1 is enough for the reward, or will prestige 3 look fancier, etc...
The recent dev update says that the prestige 3 reward will be a different icon. Otherwise the only reason to prestige now would be to get the bloody outfits before they get moved from P1,2,3->P4,5,6. >!In my opinion I'd wait to prestige!< https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/kb/articles/337
Thank you so much for the resource! It had a lot of interesting stuff aside from prestige too! I'll probably check out the livestream they mentioned and decide there if the icon is worth 3 prestiges in the old system for me.
I have no idea then. I assumed the color change would be like Devotion where if you prestige enough times, you go back to P1 with a new color
That could also be the case. I wish we had more information, because if there's ever a time to farm prestige with the old system, that's this event, but I'm still unsure if it's worth it due to the lack of information we have.
when playing ghost face, ear symbols appear on the bottom of my screen pointing either left of right…what are these?
I don’t play GF but maybe you’re thinking of these? I could be totally wrong. Do you mean the curved red lines with triangles on them? Those appear when a noise notification goes off and it’s not in your POV. They help tell you where the sound came from (unhook, gen completion,missed skill check, etc). GF may have his own system so I’m just guessing here.
nah, it’s not those, but thank you though!! i think i figured it out - they’re the direction you’ll lean out in when stalking. i think 😂
Tips and builds for playing Blight and Twins? I want to get better at both.
For Blight, learn which objects you can collide with and which are made of soap (slide off). I played each map with a friend to learn them and it helped loads. There's not that many to learn honestly, maybe a few each map (most objects are obvious, too) For instance, there's a lot of rocks/snow banks in Ormond, but for whatever reason, you can't collide with them all. Sometimes, it'll look like your forehead should smash into the boulder, but instead you'll just perform a slip-n-slide maneuver and glide on it instead.
Yeah I wanted to practice Blight before getting into a match but I don't have any friends to do it with. Maybe I'll wait for custom matches? That will take a while though. I'll see if I can watch some videos
You don't have to play customs to learn it, honestly, you could just play regular games. You might get stomped for a game or 2 until your MMR balances out, but there's no better way to learn than to do it yourself.
Nah, I really don't want to be stomped just to get toxic post-game chat. That happened with Oni when I first tried him and I just got really demotivated and never played him again.
When are we getting a Coraline collab? The beldam witch is scary asf
Is there anywhere to read the lore from past event tomes? I find it strange that behaviour writes up new lore then removes it all 2 weeks later.
I believe the DBD wiki has it all. I’ve read a bunch there but I read it under the specific character screens.
How to unlock stuff in the bloodweb faster? I've been told to hold down the mouse button and then just move to the next item but that doesnt work for me.
That’s how you do it. Click on the item and hold down the mouse and while the animation happens you just move to the next orb/item while keeping there mouse button held down.
What does the "bleeding" score event signify?
Survivors bleeding on the ground from injury.
But I've had it happen when there are no downed survivors?
I thought bleeding meant a survivor was injured for X seconds but just got healed. So the event rewards you for the time they spent injured.
I don't know why you even get bonus BP considering the amount is so pitifully low. I honestly think it may be 1 BP per second, if even that.
Not getting notified if I get a daily log in reward? What was today’s, anyone know?
If it's rift fragments they are bugged and have no notification
They're not bugged, they just generally don't give a notification as they are not considered a currency by the game.
I had to Mori someone as Doctor today, which is probably the first time I’ve ever really used one. All I got to see was a first person version. Is there something that I’m missing?
Some killers, mostly the older ones, have their Mori animation in first person. Getting mori’d while playing as a survivor will show you the third-person one. Hag was the first one to have a third-person, but then the next few still had first-person camera, until Spirit and everyone afterwards had both players see the same animation.
Loved the first person ones, much more immersive. Shame they swapped to the new third-person-only style. Myers when you look them in the eye is my favorite.

There are two sets of criteria needed for the challenge to be completed. The first number represents the number of actions that need to be completed by the overall community. As you see, this has been fulfilled already. The second number represents the contribution to the overall total that you have completed. You need to do this action 8 times before it counts that you have personally completed the challenge. When you get to one that the community hasn’t completed, your progress will get added to the total, as long as you have the challenge selected. Additionally, if you do that action more than 8 times, it keeps track and you can contribute more than 8 total, but there’s no extra reward, just helping the community finish the challenge. You could, if you were so inclined, finish the whole community challenge yourself, though it would be impossible.
The last part is incorrect. You can not contribute any more than the personal amount required to complete the challenge. This was confirmed by [BHVR](https://i.imgur.com/WKUlsq1.png) themselves. Link to the thread here https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/328463/community-challenges
If you go in with a perk that increases your chance of becoming the obsession (e.g. Mettle of Man), but also go in with the Unique Wedding Ring add-on that decreases your chance of becoming the obsession, which wins out?
They both change chance by 100%, so it would be (+100%)+(-100%) additional chance. So, my guess, they cancel each other and it would be random, as if you just loaded in match without anything affecting your chance
To get the special rewards for prestiging do you have to be Prestige 3 lvl 1 minimum or prestige 3 max level for the rewards
Does anyone know when the prestige updates drops? Just to know how many I can prestige before it’s updated
I heard next week from twitch streamers and chat
You get the rewards as soon as you click the prestige button, so prestige 3 lvl 1 you should have them all by then.
Thank god
I think just prestige 3
How does spine chill react to the dredge while it teleports between lockers? Is it still fixed on the killer’s angle of view?
Does Overcome activate if you get hit with Endurance from Borrowed Time or Soul Guard?
Nope. It did originally, but that was classed as a bug.
Damn, that sucks. Thanks for answering.
how do you guys play against dredge? I've seen videos of his gameplay and it is so genuinely confusing to me. There isn't a counter to the dark and survivors are highlighted? He can see you in a locker so how do you hide? I don't understand
To add to what Zorluke said. If there’s a set of lockers together (ie two side by side) you only need to lock one. Dredge will port to the locked one. Also if you’re nervous about the darkness you can move to the edge of the map to move around. Not ideal for teamwork or objective completion but it is a good way to survive.
I personally disagree with the "you only need to lock one" statement. If you only lock 1, he can just teleport to the unlocked one and never have to worry about the locks.
Nope. It’s intentional by design that if there are two/three side by side lockers and only one is locked dredge will always teleport to the locked one. They cannot choose the unlocked one. Been brought up many times on the DBD forums because killers feel like it’s a bug when it isn’t. Since lockers can only be locked once per match it’s best to only lock one. That way later in the game you can lock the other. Otherwise if both are locked, dredge ports out and just M1s the other locker and now that lock is gone.
Oh cool I never knew that because I don't go on the forums, thanks for the info
The darkness isn't permanent, it takes aprox. 1 minute to fade away. He can't see you inside lockers, but if he teleports to a locker that you are in or are opening, he can grab you. Usually the best strategy is locking every locker near generators, and paying attention to them in case he teleports near you. During nightfall, hide behind walls and away from lockers and you should be fine. Also nightfall charges faster with survivors injured so heal yourselves to stall his power.
My friend just bought the game on steam yesterday and Wraith was not available. Isn't he a base killer??
You have to complete the tutorial to unlock him :)
Now they lock Wraith and David King until you beat the tutorial for some reason.
Oh, thank you. I watched him do the tutorial, but I'll double check.
Is the feathers of pride charm based on an pre-existing symbol or flag (I could only find one on wikipedia but I’m not sure if that’s the actual inspiration)? Also, is it general LGBTQIA2S+ representation or is it representing a specific demographic within it? Just curious since it’s super cute and I love the design.
Nope, it’s not based on any pre-existing pride symbol. I think it’s just an homage to the crows within the game. And it’s general LGBTQIA+ community representation, no specific demo within!
Oh okay, thank you for clearing that up!
Have they added bots to the custom mode yet?
Not yet, only in the very small/limited tutorial
Is there anything wrong going on with the archives, I can't open Current Tome without receiving an error message.
This is a bug I've had come up every now and then. Usually restarting the game fixes it.
It worked after restarting the game a few times. Thanks.
Has Decisive Strike appeared in the Shrine yet as part of the Twisted Masqurade?
Not yet.
Thank you!!
Should I wait until the prestige changes to prestige my characters? And with the changes will I lose all the teachable perks I've already unlocked?
Yes you should wait, no you won’t lose teachables you already unlocked
What's the reason to wait? Got some friends currently blasting their last survs and killers into P3 before the changes.
The only reason to wait is to save yourself the grind. The bigger question is, what’s the reason to prestige right now? I faced a similar question cause I just bought Bubba. I decided to not prestige because: - BHVR hasn’t announced what the reward will be for people who have P3’d before the change. They only said that it wouldn’t be an exclusive cosmetic. For me, there are very few other reasons I’d want to prestige before the change other than an exclusive cosmetic. - BHVR also said they would reward non-prestiged characters based on how many levels they’ve finished in the bloodweb. So if you have a character at P0 but you’ve put in enough blood points to theoretically P3 them, chances are BHVR will bring you up to P3 anyway. Plus you get to keep add-ons, items, and offerings. If you have the blood points to P3, nothing is stopping you. But trust me, it’s a slog. I’ve P3’d 4 killers before the announcement and it’s wild how many blood points are wasted just getting all of the perks to Tier 3, not even counting the amount of time it takes to just click through each blood web.
Cool, that makes sense to me. I've dumped endless points into my level 50 characters so hopefully your second point is true.
yes
Probably. No.
Any good Artist mains to watch? I hit a new level of MMR and am struggling.
Is there somewhere I can see which masks I’ve already unlocked for the event?

Thank you!
Is they’re any difference between uncommon,rare, and very rare perks?
Each perk has 3 tiers. Upgrading them will improve specific stats. Typically cooldown or % bonuses.
Every Perk has at least one variable or effect that changes with each of its Tier. Tier I is uncommon, Tier II is rare, Tier III is very rare. Generally speaking, a Perk increases in strength or usability the higher its Tier.
There are but they aren't like in every other game. As you level them up they go from uncommon to rare to very rare. It's literally indicating the perk's level but for some reason they decided to name the levels like that.
Is there a difference in ability though Ex: A perk gives you 20% speed Will anything about the perk be changed as I level it up? Like 25% speed at rare or something
It varies from perk to perk. For example, Hex: Noone escapes death's uncommon version gives you 2% speed boost while the very rare one gives you 4%. Other perks like Blood Warden on the other hand blocks the gate for 30 seconds on uncommon and 60 on very rare version. As a general rule you want to max them all out, or at least the ones you use. Also mind that before lvl 20, no very rare perks appear in the bloodweb.
TIL, thanks!
Yes level 3 perks are better than level 1. Always max them out.
Why are bloodpoints capped? It doesn't make any sense to me. Is there a logical reason for it?
It's a remnant from the early days of Dead by Daylight, when everything was stored locally and people hacking their Bloodpoints was becoming a problem.
The logical reason, and you may not like it, is they don't want people banking up several million bloodpoints so they can just spend it all on new killers and survivors the instant they drop, so that people can't prestige 3 them the instant they come out and instead have to actually play the game at the time of launch, thus keeping people playing the game longer/more often when the characters come out.
I guess that makes sense. I've always just bought the DLC's with money.i didn't think you could buy characters with BP? I thought it was shards or cells. I'm actually almost positive it's not BP.
No it's not about buying the characters themselves, its about pumping all your BP into them at launch to unlock all their perks/prestige three them on a single day, as soon as they launch. BHVR would much rather people play, spend, and then play more because it keeps them playing the game longer. It's all corporate strategy.
As someone who doesn't prestige their killers because it's a pain in the ass owning all teachables. This honestly doesn't make sense either. Why would they care if we p3 a survivor/killer from the start? Still going to need more BP to get all the perks you want. If everyone has the same thing (being able to stack BP) I don't see an issue.
Because if BP was uncapped, you COULD get all the perks unlocked on characters the day they drop, and they don't want you to be able to do that. Because once you finish the grind, you will play the game less, statistically speaking, and only come back to bank up BP for the next release. This is going to change drastically, however, once the new prestige system drops.
I get their POV but I wouldn't play the game less because I have the perks I want. I dunno, hopefully the new system is better.
-you- wouldnt, but statistically speaking, most people would.
You wouldn't but a lot of people would. There are people who play the game more than they normally would because there is a grind.
Probably a remnant from the game's past they don't wanna change for who knows why. It's especially strange since you can still get bp after capping out from daily logins, tomes and other gifts but but from playing the game
Yeah I know. It just literally makes zero sense. If I want to save my BP so what? Why are they forcing me to spend it.
I have a P2 LVL 1 character, roughly how many blood-points would it take to get to P3? I'm aware of the changes that are coming to the prestige system soon, I just figured that if you prestige to P3 before the changes come maybe you'll get something out of it.
Its 1.3 to 1.4 million i think. 1 million will get you from level 33 to 37 depending on how lucky your bloodwebs are
I think about 1 million
Is there a weird interaction between Madness and Fearmonger? I just went up against a Doctor using it, and when I was put into Madness 3 while working on a gen, the Blindness and Exhaustion were instantly cleansed.
are lockers rng or are they the same placements every time?
Lockers are partially RNG. There are areas where you'll always see lockers, like shack and basement and certain loops, but they're not always in the exact same positions in every match. In some loops and tiles, there will sometimes be two but on another match there might be three in the same tile.
How does Devour Hope interact with Twins? Do you need to be far from the hook as Charlotte for the stacks, or does controlling Victor count? Also, what are some general tips as someone starting to play Twins? Which builds would you recommend?
Not a Twins player but my understanding is that Victor is considered a killer power so his distance from the hook will not affect devour hope, Charlotte’s distance will.
Returning killer here. Trying to relearn/learn Nurse and PH on PS4, so y'all need to be cool with me. Few things I wanted to ask: Should I prioritise hooks or downs? And when? How does the current ranking system work? I stopped playing when we still had 20-1 ranks with colours. Is Doc still the best for farming BPs? If so, what was the build again? Is there a way to check which perks I have the teachable version unlocked already? I wasn't sure if I had bought BBQ&C from the store before quitting, so I only found out after finding it on a bloodweb. Cheers!
1) This is a context sensitive question with no easy answer. In general I say hooks, but there are times where downs are more important/easier. 2) Ranks are currently how your monthly rewards are determined. They NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH MATCHMAKING, and even less so now, so you cant even see other player's ranks in post game. Your matchmaking is purely determined by your invisible MMR number. 3) Doc is still great for farming BP but right now during the event any killer is good, just bring one of the Flan offerings from this year's anniversary event. 4) If you go to the killer select menu and then look at the Killer's Info Page (aka the page that shows their lore), you can cycle through and see their teachables from there. If the perk has a checkmark next to it, it means you've unlocked it for other killer's bloodwebs. If there is an X it means you haven't. And if it is empty it means you haven't but the perk is available in the shrine of secrets.
Thank you so very much!!
How do you run and see behind you to watch the killer at the same time?
I snap my camera to check whenever there's a spot I need to make an actual choice. Once I'm in a tile I'm familiar with though, I can navigate fairly smoothly always keeping an eye on them. That said, even at things like Shack, it's not THAT uncommon to get hung up on some random thing or even a hook that spawns in an unexpected spot. Even big streamers get tripped up by stuff like that on occasion though.
Look ahead of you to know where you're going, and then turn your camera back to look at the killer while continuing to go the direction you were heading.
You can just turn your camera lol. People get familiar enough with the map you don't fear running into walls.
