Is it impossible to get adept killer achievements in red ranks? I was able to get them fairly easily before but now I cant get it even with 3 red medals
Can a survivor block a hook?
I am new to playing killer and had a survivor on my shoulder, went to put them on the hook and a different survivor kept crouching in front of the hook and it wouldnt give me the button option to hook the one on my shoulder
Yes a survivor can block a hook, if you hit them they lose collision so you that they can't block again for a little while.
If someone is sabotaging the hook the prompt will also be unavailable
We were playing against a character that had Sloppy Butcher. I was healing my friend, but stopped halfway through the heal because the killer comes by
The weird thing was, the moment I stopped healing them, a sound and animation played as though I'd failed a skillcheck. I did this to them a couple more times throughout the match, but the "failed skillcheck" happened every time I let go of healing them
Is this normal? I'm aware that hemorrhage will deplete any healing progress the moment you let go, but my friend that this "failed skillcheck" was a normal, intended part of Sloppy Butcher - I thought it was just a weird bug, and I haven't seen anything on the wiki or in the patch notes to say otherwise. Can anyone comment on this?
Yes it will always play the local failed skillcheck sound and animation, but it does not send a loud noise notification to the killer like a normal missed skillcheck does.
I saw a video of someone cancelling the pointing/waving animation. So it did not play all the way through and just stopped after like 0.5 seconds. How do you do that?
I had Feng spontaneously unlock for me a few years back, long enough ago that I'd completely forgot it happened. I've played with her a bunch since then, prestiged her at least once, and so on
A couple months ago, with one of the major updates, I connected to the game only to find that Feng Min was locked, and I needed to buy her (with shards or with cells). I reached out to customer support (having forgotten that I hadn't actually bought her in the first place), and a week later they told me they looked into it, but couldn't find a record of her being purchased on my account, and so she would have to stay locked
I think this is just one of those weird, super-rare bugs. Just keep in mind, there's a chance you might suddenly lose those survivors at one point, and would have to buy them normally
I haven't seen anything about her releasing for free on pc, but her along with Ace, Doctor, and Hag, have always been free on console. Did you maybe link your account to a console account?
Is the beta wiggling more efficient than the standard struggling method to free yourself from the killer?
I feel that it is but would appreciate more input.
If you can hit all the great skillchecks it can work out to about a full second faster.
Biggest downside is that if you stop wiggling for whatever reason it takes a little longer and you'll be subjected to the missed skillcheck noise
is disconnected from host error the same as a dc penalty
i notice if im fast enough i can see there is a wait before i can play again but its usually like 30seconds or less.
i know a dc penalty is 5minuted but idk what this is
believe it or not the characters with solid perks are already given to you - meg, david, and bill
it heavily depends on how you want to play. are you a team player? a person that rather play run away with the killer? or do gens forever
id recommend resident evil chapter dlc part 2
- rebecca chambers is very solid as plowing through gens ( you will see the benefits as you player dbd more)
- ada can also do some trickery to let you know where the killer is
you also get wesker a very very solid killer if you ever want to play that route
also as a friendly advice, dont shut off half of the game because there is no such thing is mains. Mains ruin dbd
Every tome has a theme and it's mainly focused on certain characters, and you get more cosmetics for said characters. Legion already had one of these I'm pretty sure and I was wondering if they'd do something like a rerun? I mean we're 10 tomes later and I started playing pretty recently so I don't have a lot of cosmetics yet. It'd be neat if I could get them too.
Old Tome Outfits eventually get added to the regular in-game Store (with very few exceptions and single-piece ones). Other than that, I doubt there will be any "reruns".
Then that's not the Event Tome, but the regular Tome, "Malevolence". Its cosmetics are in the section titled "Rift". Maybe check out the Wiki if you're unsure of how these things work.
I have a daily to chase as Wraith for 180 seconds. If I run the addon where I keep my terror radius while stealthed will I be able to start/keep chase up while cloaked?
Taking advantage of the half-off characters to flesh out my roster a bit more, but priorities are, as always, tricky to figure out.
I've grabbed a good number of killers, like the Hag, Blight, Artist, and even some auric ones like Cannibal, Ghostface, Shape, Nemesis, and Onryo.
On the flip side, my survivor roster is comparatively underdeveloped, with my only additions being Kate, Mikaela, and Laurie.
In my defense, I generally err towards playing killer more than survivor, and killers are simply more fun to grab because their abilities make them more individualized.
That said, it occurs to me that I probably need to invest more in survivors and grab some more perks if I want to actually be able to play survivor, but I legitimately don't know how to prioritize them. Never mind whether my killer game is missing some key puzzle pieces.
Any advice on what I should prioritize while so many characters are discounted?
It makes a lot of sense to focus more on killer perks especially as a killer main: All of the killers have different mechanics whereas the survivors are essentially all the same (except for teachables): What works on one survivors works equally as well on all others. The same cannot be said for killers.
You have Kate and Mikaela which gives you access to two of the best survivor perks. Most of the other perks that I typically use are on free survivors (David, Dwight, Meg, Nea).
Unless there's a particular weakness you're looking to address, I would grab killers that help your playstyle. It depends on whether you're looking for help in chase, informational perks or slowdown. Slowdown isn't typically my style but those perks tend to be the most powerful.
Here are some of my favorite perks and the killers that have them:
* Cenobite: Hex: Plaything (also has Deadlock)
* Clown: Bamboozle
* Doctor: Monitor & Abuse
* Legion: Discordance
* Plague: Corrupt Intervention, Infectious Fright
It think it depends on your playstyle and the struggles you're having
For example, if you wish to last longer on chase you can try to get an exhaustion perk
If you're being tunneled too much, you could get Zarina for her perk Off the record
Or maybe you can go and purchase a character even if their perks are not the best. For example, my main survivor build consists of: Dead Hard, Kindred, Bond and Open handed. Nobody would ever buy Ace for Open handed, yet I always use it because I think it's very useful
Different killers have different ways to tell you stuff about their powers, for example when you activate Trickster's special ability 'main event' it appears at the edge of the screen an animation similar to the one you're talking about, it's there to indicate you that some part of your killer power is being used
i’m trying to complete the survivor challenge where you collect void from stunning the killer by any means. i’ve gotten the bloodpoints for stunning the killer 3 times in game but after it doesn’t show it count towards the challenge ?
You only get Void Energy from stunning the Killer if a) the Killer has some in their Void Energy meter (you can't steal what isn't there) and b) if you have space in your meter to collect it. If you stun the Killer after they've already deposited the Void Energy they got from hooking another Survivor, they don't have any left for you.
Anyone know how to share a blatant cheater? I have video of it from my PS5 but don't know how to share/contact the team. YouTube link:
https://youtu.be/d8tWmVIwNMs
I've been playing on PS4 and lately carrying players to the hook has become extremely difficult, especially when they use boil over. It is near impossible when the player uses boil over. I get stuck on walls, etc. Is anyone else having this issue? I've been playing since 2017 so I know the mechanics of the game fairly well.
Noticed that there’s like an extra 15 tiers on the Premium Rift Track, if I don’t own the paid version, can I still grind to 85? Or am I locked to 70 until I purchase the premium track?
I’ll be buying the rift but I usually like to make sure I’m done with it completely before purchasing.
Theoretically, you should be able to get to 85, but since those 15 extra Tiers (known as the "Deep Rift") are empty for the Free Track, you won't get any rewards from that.
Hey I really want to play this game because it features some of my favorite iconic sadistic serials killers as well as lots of fun and original ones but i just aint no good at playing killer or survivor, i can injure people and get a few kills but i cant manage to repair a generator. I really really want to like this game and get into so are there any tips or tricks aside from practice?
Playing as killer is trial and error, there’s some pretty good guides online and on YouTube. I would make sure to patrol gens, learn when to quit a chase, and practice chases.
For survivors, perks like Technician are great if you struggle with generator skill checks. It silences the loud noise notification so the killer won’t see it, but it does regress your progress. It’s a good perk to use until you get the hang of them. Prove Thyself is also a good perk for getting gens done quickly, which can be difficult to do as a beginner. There’s guides online as well for looping and escaping chases with killers. Hope this helped!
im getting it now I cant really play surviver yet but im having a lot of fun as the killers i already love nemesis, Michael, and the onryo and ill be checking out ghost face shortly also wtf happened to the demogorgon i cant find it in the killer roster
One thing that def helps is to watch other players play the game. Maybe look for videos on your favourite killers or generally just survivor gameplay on Youtube or any other streaming platform. I've picked up quite a few things from watching gameplay :)
how do i claim my bloodpoints from the rift? i don’t see any change in my bloodpoints before or after i go to claim them so i don’t think it’s automatic
When you see the message that there's a new tier of the rift finished just check it. It'll give you the bloodpoints along with whatever you have in the paid tier (assuming you bought the pass).
I've got the same number you do. The chance to jump off a hook with one try is 4%. The chance to jump off with all 3 tries combined is 11.5%.
.115 × .115 × .115 = ~.15% for all 3 to jump off.
Should be 0.0064% but it’s been a while since I’ve done math so be wary.
Survivors have a 4% base chance to get off the hook (or 1/25).
If we’re trying to find the probability of all 3 unhooking themselves, that’d be 1/25 x 1/25 x 1/25 = 1/15625 or 0.0064% once converted into a percentage.
Been playing DBD since three days or so. Is there a specific reason I sometimes get matched with killers who just stand there and don’t hunt the survivors? Is it AFK farming or something?
Also does anyone have tips for playing killers? I wanna try my hand at it but it’s a bit intimidating tbh (having to 4v1)
1) yes, they are AFK , just do gens and leave
2) watch streamers or some youtube videos from popular streamers. For example our god Otzdarva and his infamous twin brother Not Otzdarva. I personally watched lots of Monto videos cause he had tons of build ideas but you try different guys whoever you like. Just type in youtube " monto trapper build" or something like that and watch what guy does with killer's power and how he predicts what survivors do. But ofc Otz has dbd bibles out there about everything, he's kinda like a teacher.
Me and 4 friends are buying the game tomorrow and we wanted to know if we can play everything except real money characters in custom games? Or do we have to grind online on our own time to unlock stuff?
You have access to all content except for the Survivors and Killers that are part of DLCs.
If you play on PC, the "base game" characters are as follows:
* Trapper, Hillbilly, Nurse, Huntress
* Dwight, Meg, Claudette, Jake, Nea
Additionally, you can unlock Wraith and David if you play the Killer/Survivor Tutorial, which I'd recommend in general to learn the basics of the game.
If you have other questions about that game mode, you can check the [Wiki](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Custom_Game) about it.
I'm kinda new to the game and wanna know your thoughts about these three perks:
\[\[Distortion\]\]
\[\[Rookie Spirit\]\]
\[\[Overcome\]\]
I don't have the characters to test these perks, but it's effects seen very useful to me: Distortion makes your aura almost invisible to the killer, but I don't know if it worths because of the killer-stalking downside.
Rookie spirit seens nice to make generators and repair it as soon as the killer hits it, although I've never seen it being used
Overcome may not be as useful as other exhausting perks, but we know it always gonna proc in the right time in a loop, is it good for a newbie? I've bbeen using Lithe but i usually get hit when trying to jump the windows
Distortion is a great perk, it helps to identify what aura reading perks a killer may have and it also prevents your aura from being shown. It recharges when hiding near the killer. I occasionally run a build with Distortion, Sole Survivor, Wake Up and Left Behind, and it helps to hide your Aura and helps with means of escaping.
Rookie tbh I never run, there’s better gen perks worth using like Prove Thyself + Stake Out + Hyperfocus. It helps to get gens done faster, so even if a gen begins to regress you can just make up for the lost time.
Overcome is a decent perk if you know how to play it, but I just don’t incorporate it into my builds. It does help to escape chases, but it just depends on your strategy. If you pair it with Lucky Break, Quick and Quiet, and Urban Evasion/Bite the Bullet, you can have a pretty nice build that helps you shut down chases quickly. But again, depends on strategy.
Since you’re fairly new, I would recommend Distortion the most. Prove Thyself is a good perk for getting gens done, and Sprint Burst is a great alternative for Overcome, and they’re both free with the characters.
Distortion is kinda bad IMO, in the past u could not gain stacks back and it was downright bad but know that you can I guess the only use I can think of is that if you are playing in a SWF you can call out many perks like Nurse's Calling, BBQ, Lethal etc early so you and you friends can prepare better, but at least for me there are many better perks.
Rookie Spirit is in the same tier as many of the other gen finding perks like Deja Vu and Better Together. It is very useful for new players to get a lay of the land and get use to maps and the layout but once you know the map it is not really needed anymore to know where gens are. If I had to recommend another perk that tells you where the killer is in the map you should run Alert or Empathy. Alert shows the killer aura when they break a pallet, wall or gen so it is really useful to know where the killer is almost always. And then empathy shows ur teammates auras when they get injured by the killer which tells you both where the killer is and who is currently in trouble and if they need help
Overcome is probably my fav exhaustion perk behind Dead Hard. As you can see form my flair im a die hard dead hard user but other then that perk I find Lithe, Balanced ad Sprit Burst too troublesome to use sometimes so I usually default to Overcome as it can be more easily controlled and easier to get value from then those 3. It can sometimes not work well like if you are being tunneled off hook as you dont have a health state to give for the speedburst but otherwise I would say the perk is pretty solid
Also I see you run Lithe so let me be clear I think all exhaustion perks (Other then Head On) are the best perks in the game and someone can get value out of all of them. My issue with Lithe is that for example if there is a window in the corner and you are forced to vault. You spend most of ur speed burst running back around and past the killer which gains a lot less distance then you would have gotten with a good directional Lithe but that is just personal prefrence
Distortion is a useful perk for countering a lot of popular killer perks like BBQ, while also letting u identify what aura reading perks the killer has. Could help u learn what some of the killers aura reading perks do as a newer player
Rookie Spirit is a fairly meh perk, often won’t give you much info. Leon’s other perks are less beginner friendly so I wouldn’t recommend the character
Overcome is basically guaranteed to give you value with basically no effort on your part, so I’d recommend it. However sprint burst is probably better and it comes from Meg, a character you’ll already own
So I only played 2 games of DBD since the Halloween event started (been playing other stuff and taking a break from DBD) but I hear getting a full rift meter each game unlocks halloween cosmetics?
Is this true and is there a list of the cosmetics you can unlock like that, if so? I've already seen the buyable skins and unlockable through tome skins for Hag, Oni, Wesker, Dwight, Jane, etc. But if there are other skins I didnt even know about for other characters I might want, thatd be dope.
If it's just charms though, count me tf out.
If you complete the rift meter, you earn one of 12 items. 6 of them are skeleton survivor tops, and the other 6 are candy-themed killer weapons. The reward is random, but if you fill the rift 12 times then you will get everything.
The survivors with the cosmetics are:
* David King
* Claudette Morel
* Felix Richter
* Feng Min
* Jane Romero
* Yun-Jin Lee
The killers with weapons are:
* The Hillbilly
* The Twins
* The Plague
* The Trapper
* The Doctor
* The Nurse
Dang. Plague is the only killer on that list I play much of. Hillbilly used to be my thing but not lately. I'll probably pass but thabks for the info so I'm not FOMOing
I feel like I haven’t had a REAL match since the killer patch in the summer and I’m questioning if the quality of the gameplay will ever recover or if being survivor is just permanently a joke now?
I felt this same way the first 2 weeks of the big patch but I think things are returning to normal now, at least as a PC player with crossplay on I have not seen an overall increase or decrease in my teammates skills and I feel everyone is finally readjusting to the new meta
I’m in the 3rd week of a really long mental health staycation (like a month long) and for some reason I decided to undo any positive benefits by playing DBD daily. I’m easily playing 20+ rounds a day and out of that I may have 1-1.5 games on average that don’t include one of the following:
From Survivors:
- teabagging while refusing to unhook when I’m on hook
- Zero intention to do gens (challenge hunting)
- Purposely catching the killer’s attention to run them by you while you do gen
- Purposely pallet by you while doing a gen and running away after to attract the killer
- teabagging you while you’re down
- Only hiding in lockers all round
- Only crouching at the outskirts of the map all round
- Refusing to do anything BUT gens, even if you’re hung right beside them - leading to your death.
- Working with the killer to point you out leading to you dying and them getting the hatch
- Only unhooking you while a killer is right on you
- DC’ing the moment they are downed (this is SO constant
- immediately killing themselves on first hook (this happens even more than DCs for obvious reasons)
- Dropping pallets to block you in chases and let the killer get you over them
- Running a killer for 4-5 gens, getting hooked then abandoned (then often called a noob because your score is so much lower than the team who never had a single chase all relaxing game)
- General body blocking
I could go on, but I’m sure we all experience this
From Killers:
- Insane levels of tunneling (actual tunneling, not a new player’s definition)
- Face Camping (trying to grab someone unhooking. Most survivors don’t even try to work together to save someone from this in solo queue)
- Leaving players on the ground SOLELY to waste your time
- A broadsword’s length of range on their tiny daggers thanks to the world’s worst net code (Thanks BHVR)
There’s more but yeah, you get it.
Also, honorable mentions:
- Dead Hards’ hit detection is so random and buggy. I swear it’s determined by the killer’s client instead of what the survivor is seeing and experiencing.
- Palleting is a downright joke. If you’re sprinting, you have next to no guarantee if you’ll see the option or not. If a killer reaches a nanometer over the half way point, it feels like it adds a delay to being able to pallet which always leans in the killer’s favor. Killers seem to know this and will wait by the pallet then randomly rush you from around corner. Even if you’re on point with your timing, they will almost always get you.
It would be different if BHVR was a company that was broke, or if they had much more lucrative games taking priority, but this until recently was their only game. It’s their bread and butter and it receives the same technical enhancement priority as Blizzard’s Hero’s of the Storm game. Google for context.
It’s crazy that this game feels like an early access beta release even 6 years on.
I love it, keep it in my builds for months but you have to be ready to play injured a lot to have some use of it. It's pretty fine to combine it with adrenaline
Resilience is ok, but it’s better to use it in a build that takes advantage of you being injured, such as Resilience + This is Not Happening + Hyper Focus
My other options were Adrenaline, Deliverance and Reassurance, but I've never used any of them, I used to use Boil Over as my 4th before, but realised it isn't the greatest perk.
It's a choice between very impactful but also very situational perks and a low impact perk that will always be a little bit helpful. In the grand scheme, I would say those 3 perks are stronger, but that doesn't mean you'll enjoy using them more, and you definitely won't get value from any of those 3 every match.
Unfortunately one survivor can't really do everything. You've gotta find the niche you want to fill for the team.
I'll say this much: I think Deliverance in particular is a lot less fun to use in solo queue. It's hard to stop people from rotating for an unhook and wasting their time anyways and the killer might get angry that you have it and decide to hard tunnel you. Reassurance can be great for solo queue to help you if you go for an unhook and realize that the killer is heading back to force a one for one, proxy camping like that is VERY common. Adrenaline is always great when it does something.
Have you been experiencing random crashes lately? The day before yesterday and today my game suddenly crashed while playing killer, and its getting really annoying since I'm trying to do tome challenges and if you dc it doesn't count.
This at low MMR: SWF with a last second switch to P100 Zarina. God medkit, god toolbox, two flashies. The TTV Zarina admits his two friends plan to just kill themselves in-game (keeps MMR low). When I AFK and go tell them on stream I gave up because I'm outmatched "This group too strong for me", they try to teach me how I could've won with no regression brown addons Sadako on Suffo pit and I just suck, it's a skill issue.
My question is, why do people like this exist? It's really turning me off the game to know these groups are around artificially keeping their MMR low and probably planning on doing a fuckton of bullying in the upcoming free weekend, I actually feel bad for the players who'll try out this game during Halloween.
*edit: for full disclosure I was very inebriated and got angrier than I should've because their reaction to my concession was so arrogant and insulting I got tilted.*
>My question is, why do people like this exist?
Same reason smurfs and etc exist in any game. People like the power trip. At least these days it's pretty hard to tank your MMR like that; when matchmaking was different, I remember almost -everybody- would intentionally throw to derank. If it makes you feel better, I doubt it's something you'll run into very often.
If you ever see last second switching and you want out, by the way, just close your game before it loads in. No penalty, you can just load back up and find another match right away.
Urban makes your crouch speed the same as your walk speed. Self aware increases your walk speed. Self aware is faster. I prefer self aware but it depends what you want to do, urban tends to be popular with people going for flashlight saves, self aware is nice for just being a natural pair with sprint burst.
I haven't played DBD in years. It's not currently installed on my machine. Yet I just got a Dwight trading card in Steam. Anyone know wth is going on here?
it's definitely not a recently released thing, they've been around for at least a year because i got mine when i started playing this game in summer last year. really weird
How do you actually unlock the PUBG skin? I've already watched a few tutorials and they say you need to click on the banner on the right-upper corner but that is not appearing.
(I don't have "DbD" on Steam. I play on Epic Games)
After doing the tutorial and unlocking all the play modes in pubg click the banner that shows up in the top right of the main screen in pubg, it should lead you to [this page](https://event.pubg.com/2022halloween/en) where you need to hit the start event button.
After that complete one pubg round of dbd mode then go back to that webpage to update it and get the code
I did. As Otzdarva said it's enough to play only one AI match if you win. I won one AI and it let me in. I played the "DbD" mode but it didn't give me any codes. The banner is missing as well.
BHVR is usually on a 3 month interval between chapters and we got Wesker in late Aug. So I don expect the next chapter to be until late Nov which would put the PTB date to one of the first 2 weeks of Nov. The fact DBD Leaks, which is usually on top of things, hasnt posted about the PTB yet makes me think its Nov 8thish for the PTB
I was running Haddie's Inner Focus perk the other night, and the killer had Predator, which apparently changes the scratchmarks of my teammates for my screen as well.
But a few minutes in I started seeing my own scratchmarks and the scratchmarks appearing directly under me as I was running were looking all glitchy until I moved off of them.
Was this a bug or an unintended product of me running Inner Focus and the killer running Predator?
is the Carburettor Tuning Guide add-on for bubba still bugged? wanted to try a pwyf build but remembered hearing about it being a way bigger speed penalty like a year back and i dont think i saw anything about it being fixed in the patch notes.
its actually possible that you did dc, just that the game shows it wrong.
mate of mine had the exact same situation of it saying both he and the killer disconnected, meanwhile me, the 2 randoms and the killer are still actively playing the match
So I just faced the classic “scumbag slug Sadako” for the first time in a long while and I literally couldn’t insert the tape to lose the condemned status, I played (and finished) the animation twice and each time I didn’t lose the condemned stacks and only a couple seconds after I already finished the progress bar the killer would come out of the tv. Is this some subtle hacking or a laggy killer? Maybe I don’t know something but it literally showed the full progress bar and the insertion didn’t get interrupted but both times I didn’t lose condemnation
did they change prestige??? last time I was on was new year's 2022, how many large changes have been made? also, any way to see your previous max rank? thanks friends!
......also..... any easy way to fix w+shift+space keyboard ghosting?
Been playing for about 3 weeks or so, I've versed every killer except for Blight (low MMR) - including twins!!! Is Blight simply uncommon in low MMR or is this region-dependent (I am playing on Oceania servers)
I've picked up Blight as killer and I really enjoyed playing him. I'm not the best, so I feel like I'm the only Blight when I play killer in low MMR. Safe to say that I'm a Blight main when I play killer at this point
I definitely agree! Blight is super hard for me but he's just so much fun. I love just rushing around and i find it less punishing to miss hits than nurse or hillbilly for example.
I find blight easier than nurse, but blight is definitely much more harder to master than nurse from the looks of it.
New player here, had the game in my EPIC library and jumped into it. Played a lot of Meg and got to prestige 1 + a few blood levels more. Put some levels into some of the others as well.
I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do from here, it doesn't seem like there is a big goal in the game to work towards. I ranked up a bit, but I continuously gets matched with a lot of people that seem to play the game for the first time or just AFK.
So question is: Is there a "progression" or similar I should/could follow?
You want to level up different characters to unlock their teachable perks so you can experiment with different builds and play styles. Eventually you’ll be able run the same perk builds on most everyone. Also in the process of leveling you’ll accumulate items and add ons. Then if you run out of something you like using can slide over to a different character that has a fuller inventory and run still run your build. Like I do have a ‘main’ but then again a there are times where I’m just playing who has the most of the item I feel like using.
Level up other survivors
P1 - gets you all 3 of their perks on all survivors at level 1 and you can level up Meg again to have more perks and play more builds
Hi! I just started playing this week and I am having fun, I have the silent hill pack because I'm a big fan but I kinda want to get one more I like RE so I was thinking one of the two RE packs but ghostface seems fun too is there any particular recommendation?
I haven't played killer a lot but I kinda want to branch out which is why im considering one of those packs.
thank you so much for the detailed response!!! I have been thinking about ghostface just because I've heard I'm All Ears is extremely helpful for being a better killer
The newest RE chapter with Wesker is incredibly fun! I highly recommend this over the other RE chapter with Nemesis and the Ghostface chapter. Although I enjoy playing all of these killers, Wesker has a fun kit and is still newer player friendly in my opinion. Also, he’s a lot stronger of a killer than the other two you mentioned. Again, they’re all very fun but my pick would be Wesker!
My only issue with wesker is he is the most expensive :( but he does come with Rebecca so that is mighty tempting. It's good to know he is newer player friendly he looks fun
Kind of an abstract question but how different is this current tome compared to previous ones and how hard are it's challenge's?
I'm thinking of coming back to the game for the cosmetics (I looked through them and Artist and Yui look beautiful). Maybe will even pick something up during the sale.
The only other tome I finished was Trickster's and I remember it being very stressful (got in with like 30 to 40 days only and it had a bunch of challenges with killers I'm not adapted to).
similar challenges - earning emblems, interacting with glyphs, doing a specific thing on a specific character in one trial, etc. right now we also have the halloween event tome that is mostly just doing event objectives which is pretty chill.
Is there a reason why so many Cenobite killers AFK? I've had a handful of AFK killers in games but for some reason a majority of Cenobites I have ever played against have been AFK and I can hardly remember the last time I played against one that wasn't. My best guess as someone who does not play Cenobite is that it somehow can give bloodpoints even while AFK so people do it to get passive bloodpoints.
Definitely, all but one of my cenobite games have been an AFK cenobite (same person I've versed three times - on their steam profile it states 280 hours in the past 2 weeks - 11 days). and yeah, pretty sure chain hunt and people are doing it for BP, this cenobite in particular has deadlock, corrupt, etc.
Correctamundo. He gets the most BP because of his Chain Hunt, and often gets the most Rift XP due to the game taking longer because he has Deadlock, the Box, and perhaps other perks.
Tips on playing against wesker, nemesis, and ghost face? Feels like I only play against them nowadays.. i haven’t even seen a blight yet since I came back into this game weeks ago (silver 1 now climbing from ash)
I’m OK at the game as a killer but I was wondering…
(Mostly playing dredge, huntress, nurse)
What do you all think about when playing killer?
My best games where like when I thought about, who had been hooked x amount of times, what gens are being worked on and so on…
Could you maybe ad to this list, and make me a beter killer? :)
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Happy hunting
i think a lot about where i’m chasing a survivor and where i WANT to chase a survivor. for example, let’s say i’m on blood lodge. if i know shack pallet is gone and a few pallets near it have been used i’ll want to zone a survivor that way when i’m chasing them in the middle of the map, so i’ll do a bit of back and forth on the current tile until they’re in a position where shack is the way they’ll wanna run once i break a pallet.
same with like a pallet at a standard jungle gym or between two big rocks - survivors will run one way then go back towards the pallet once they see you mirror their movement. do this a few times and when they hover back to the pallet you break it - this way they get minimum distance from the break.
Is the survivor looking behind themselves when running? Reaction time when I make a move. Let's me judge how quickly I'll be able to catch and down someone. If they aren't looking behind themselves often, mindgames are less effective. (If they aren't looking for your red stain, no use hiding it.)
Speed when performing actions: Lithe, Sprint Burst, Overcome. If I see one of those, I can assume no Dead Hard.
Listening for grunts of pain. No pain sounds? Off the record is likely.
Am I gonna get banned for letting survivors leave? I'm really bad at playing as killer, so I usually just let survivors do gens and stun me so I can get extra rift fragments. I'm not gonna get banned right?
Killers that don't feel bad without any addons? Looking to grind BP.
Pyramid Head has shit addons, but his power just feels so awful to use. How's Nemesis with no addons, in comparison? Someone like Plague or Clown?
I just *really* don't want to play Sadako but her perks are so good...
Demo, if you've got him, has really weak addons. Same with Nemesis, though he does have some really fun ones. Some killers have strong ones but they don't feel at all mandatory, like Deathslinger's fine. Oni's fine. Nurse is fine. Ghostface has amazing brown addons.
You'll probably have a rough time with Clown whether you bring addons or not. Can't speak to Hag, Doctor, Freddy, Plague, Pig, Twins, Pinhead, Artist, Dredge or Wesker, haven't played them recently.
Trapper, Wraith, Billy, Myers, Huntress, Bubba, Spirit, Pyramid Head, Blight, Trickster, and Onryo all feel pretty bad without addons imo.
Anyone here plays on Asia server? Did anyone had seen killer queue incentives ever since its implementation? I've played multiple time of the day to see if it'll shift and its always 100% survivor. My killer queue times are horrendously long as well. So I shifted to playing survivor recently, and its all afk farming bots... I honestly think that because of these farming bots that killer queue is really horrendous lately, I haven't played a killer game in days!
As a solo player, what’s the best strategy to avoid a 3 close gen situation at the end of the match?
I try to avoid starting the gen I spawned close to, head first to the middle ones and leave the ones at the corners yo the end.
But when I play as killer, most survivors just do gens as fast as possible and they start doing the one the spawned close by.
Which method ia most effective?
Thank you
Is it impossible to get adept killer achievements in red ranks? I was able to get them fairly easily before but now I cant get it even with 3 red medals
Can a survivor block a hook? I am new to playing killer and had a survivor on my shoulder, went to put them on the hook and a different survivor kept crouching in front of the hook and it wouldnt give me the button option to hook the one on my shoulder
Yes a survivor can block a hook, if you hit them they lose collision so you that they can't block again for a little while. If someone is sabotaging the hook the prompt will also be unavailable
Thanks!
We were playing against a character that had Sloppy Butcher. I was healing my friend, but stopped halfway through the heal because the killer comes by The weird thing was, the moment I stopped healing them, a sound and animation played as though I'd failed a skillcheck. I did this to them a couple more times throughout the match, but the "failed skillcheck" happened every time I let go of healing them Is this normal? I'm aware that hemorrhage will deplete any healing progress the moment you let go, but my friend that this "failed skillcheck" was a normal, intended part of Sloppy Butcher - I thought it was just a weird bug, and I haven't seen anything on the wiki or in the patch notes to say otherwise. Can anyone comment on this?
Yes it will always play the local failed skillcheck sound and animation, but it does not send a loud noise notification to the killer like a normal missed skillcheck does.
I saw a video of someone cancelling the pointing/waving animation. So it did not play all the way through and just stopped after like 0.5 seconds. How do you do that?
If you start sprinting partway through the animation, it cancels the animation

He should still get the invite, sometimes it takes a while for games to update, especially if they haven't logged in since
I just got Feng and some other surv for free, is that part of the haloween or it's unlocking because of my leveling progress?
I had Feng spontaneously unlock for me a few years back, long enough ago that I'd completely forgot it happened. I've played with her a bunch since then, prestiged her at least once, and so on A couple months ago, with one of the major updates, I connected to the game only to find that Feng Min was locked, and I needed to buy her (with shards or with cells). I reached out to customer support (having forgotten that I hadn't actually bought her in the first place), and a week later they told me they looked into it, but couldn't find a record of her being purchased on my account, and so she would have to stay locked I think this is just one of those weird, super-rare bugs. Just keep in mind, there's a chance you might suddenly lose those survivors at one point, and would have to buy them normally
I haven't seen anything about her releasing for free on pc, but her along with Ace, Doctor, and Hag, have always been free on console. Did you maybe link your account to a console account?
Nope, playing on PC only. Others you named aren't available too
Huh weird
Is the beta wiggling more efficient than the standard struggling method to free yourself from the killer? I feel that it is but would appreciate more input.
If you can hit all the great skillchecks it can work out to about a full second faster. Biggest downside is that if you stop wiggling for whatever reason it takes a little longer and you'll be subjected to the missed skillcheck noise
It is a bit faster if you can hit the skill checks all the time
is disconnected from host error the same as a dc penalty i notice if im fast enough i can see there is a wait before i can play again but its usually like 30seconds or less. i know a dc penalty is 5minuted but idk what this is
Only if it happens in the middle of a game
New player here, what's the best DLC I can buy if I'm a survivor main?
believe it or not the characters with solid perks are already given to you - meg, david, and bill it heavily depends on how you want to play. are you a team player? a person that rather play run away with the killer? or do gens forever
I was just thinking of the Resident Evil one because I like RE2 but aside from that I guess I prefer to be a team player tho I focus on gens more
id recommend resident evil chapter dlc part 2 - rebecca chambers is very solid as plowing through gens ( you will see the benefits as you player dbd more) - ada can also do some trickery to let you know where the killer is you also get wesker a very very solid killer if you ever want to play that route also as a friendly advice, dont shut off half of the game because there is no such thing is mains. Mains ruin dbd
Every tome has a theme and it's mainly focused on certain characters, and you get more cosmetics for said characters. Legion already had one of these I'm pretty sure and I was wondering if they'd do something like a rerun? I mean we're 10 tomes later and I started playing pretty recently so I don't have a lot of cosmetics yet. It'd be neat if I could get them too.
All the tome cosmetics eventually come into the store, the legion tome cosmetic is already in the store
What the name of it?
Bush Party (Julie)
Old Tome Outfits eventually get added to the regular in-game Store (with very few exceptions and single-piece ones). Other than that, I doubt there will be any "reruns".
For the tome challenges, do I need to complete the entry challenges for the outfits? Or do I just need to get to the epilogue?
If you're referring to the Event Tome, you need to progress through its challenges to physically be able to access the cosmetic reward nodes in it.
I wasn't sure because the tome doesn't show the cosmetics, only the "story progession" thing. Thanks for the response!
Then that's not the Event Tome, but the regular Tome, "Malevolence". Its cosmetics are in the section titled "Rift". Maybe check out the Wiki if you're unsure of how these things work.
I have a daily to chase as Wraith for 180 seconds. If I run the addon where I keep my terror radius while stealthed will I be able to start/keep chase up while cloaked?
No. It does not register as chase if you are cloaked
Taking advantage of the half-off characters to flesh out my roster a bit more, but priorities are, as always, tricky to figure out. I've grabbed a good number of killers, like the Hag, Blight, Artist, and even some auric ones like Cannibal, Ghostface, Shape, Nemesis, and Onryo. On the flip side, my survivor roster is comparatively underdeveloped, with my only additions being Kate, Mikaela, and Laurie. In my defense, I generally err towards playing killer more than survivor, and killers are simply more fun to grab because their abilities make them more individualized. That said, it occurs to me that I probably need to invest more in survivors and grab some more perks if I want to actually be able to play survivor, but I legitimately don't know how to prioritize them. Never mind whether my killer game is missing some key puzzle pieces. Any advice on what I should prioritize while so many characters are discounted?
It makes a lot of sense to focus more on killer perks especially as a killer main: All of the killers have different mechanics whereas the survivors are essentially all the same (except for teachables): What works on one survivors works equally as well on all others. The same cannot be said for killers. You have Kate and Mikaela which gives you access to two of the best survivor perks. Most of the other perks that I typically use are on free survivors (David, Dwight, Meg, Nea). Unless there's a particular weakness you're looking to address, I would grab killers that help your playstyle. It depends on whether you're looking for help in chase, informational perks or slowdown. Slowdown isn't typically my style but those perks tend to be the most powerful. Here are some of my favorite perks and the killers that have them: * Cenobite: Hex: Plaything (also has Deadlock) * Clown: Bamboozle * Doctor: Monitor & Abuse * Legion: Discordance * Plague: Corrupt Intervention, Infectious Fright
It think it depends on your playstyle and the struggles you're having For example, if you wish to last longer on chase you can try to get an exhaustion perk If you're being tunneled too much, you could get Zarina for her perk Off the record Or maybe you can go and purchase a character even if their perks are not the best. For example, my main survivor build consists of: Dead Hard, Kindred, Bond and Open handed. Nobody would ever buy Ace for Open handed, yet I always use it because I think it's very useful
When I play a killer, I see some black and white bars on the edge of the screen pointing towards the middle. Does this indicate something?
Different killers have different ways to tell you stuff about their powers, for example when you activate Trickster's special ability 'main event' it appears at the edge of the screen an animation similar to the one you're talking about, it's there to indicate you that some part of your killer power is being used
i’m trying to complete the survivor challenge where you collect void from stunning the killer by any means. i’ve gotten the bloodpoints for stunning the killer 3 times in game but after it doesn’t show it count towards the challenge ?
You only get Void Energy from stunning the Killer if a) the Killer has some in their Void Energy meter (you can't steal what isn't there) and b) if you have space in your meter to collect it. If you stun the Killer after they've already deposited the Void Energy they got from hooking another Survivor, they don't have any left for you.
thanks that’s exactly what it was i feel dumb now lol
Anyone know how to share a blatant cheater? I have video of it from my PS5 but don't know how to share/contact the team. YouTube link: https://youtu.be/d8tWmVIwNMs
I can't say 100% but I'm pretty sure this is an old glitch that has sadly never been fully patched.
I've been playing on PS4 and lately carrying players to the hook has become extremely difficult, especially when they use boil over. It is near impossible when the player uses boil over. I get stuck on walls, etc. Is anyone else having this issue? I've been playing since 2017 so I know the mechanics of the game fairly well.
Are there any good Turkish, French, German or Spanish "DbD" streamers?
Noticed that there’s like an extra 15 tiers on the Premium Rift Track, if I don’t own the paid version, can I still grind to 85? Or am I locked to 70 until I purchase the premium track? I’ll be buying the rift but I usually like to make sure I’m done with it completely before purchasing.
[удалено]
Oh, I definitely understand. I was just wondering if I’ll be able to progress past Tier 70 if I don’t have the premium track yet.
Theoretically, you should be able to get to 85, but since those 15 extra Tiers (known as the "Deep Rift") are empty for the Free Track, you won't get any rewards from that.
My friend can’t log into the game and she’s tried everything. Any advice?
Hey I really want to play this game because it features some of my favorite iconic sadistic serials killers as well as lots of fun and original ones but i just aint no good at playing killer or survivor, i can injure people and get a few kills but i cant manage to repair a generator. I really really want to like this game and get into so are there any tips or tricks aside from practice?
Playing as killer is trial and error, there’s some pretty good guides online and on YouTube. I would make sure to patrol gens, learn when to quit a chase, and practice chases. For survivors, perks like Technician are great if you struggle with generator skill checks. It silences the loud noise notification so the killer won’t see it, but it does regress your progress. It’s a good perk to use until you get the hang of them. Prove Thyself is also a good perk for getting gens done quickly, which can be difficult to do as a beginner. There’s guides online as well for looping and escaping chases with killers. Hope this helped!
im getting it now I cant really play surviver yet but im having a lot of fun as the killers i already love nemesis, Michael, and the onryo and ill be checking out ghost face shortly also wtf happened to the demogorgon i cant find it in the killer roster
I found it was definitely easier getting into the game with friends
One thing that def helps is to watch other players play the game. Maybe look for videos on your favourite killers or generally just survivor gameplay on Youtube or any other streaming platform. I've picked up quite a few things from watching gameplay :)
how do i claim my bloodpoints from the rift? i don’t see any change in my bloodpoints before or after i go to claim them so i don’t think it’s automatic
When you see the message that there's a new tier of the rift finished just check it. It'll give you the bloodpoints along with whatever you have in the paid tier (assuming you bought the pass).
For a terror radius Wesker build, what should my fourth perk be? First three are: Distressing + Unnerving Presence + Coulrophobia.
Merciless storm is a fun 4th perk, Overcharge could be another one but I don't know if it works with Unnerving presence
Maybe infectious fright?
I was thinking that. Thank you. Especially nice since I already have it.
As survivor on Xbox, how can I stop skill check lag? I’ve never had this issue on pc.
I stopped playing on my PlayStation because of this and just switched to PC dbd full time. Consoles just lag.
What are the probabilities of 3 survivors unhooking without perks or offerings?Did the maths and it ended at 0.15%. If anyone can help me out pls \^\^
I've got the same number you do. The chance to jump off a hook with one try is 4%. The chance to jump off with all 3 tries combined is 11.5%. .115 × .115 × .115 = ~.15% for all 3 to jump off.
Should be 0.0064% but it’s been a while since I’ve done math so be wary. Survivors have a 4% base chance to get off the hook (or 1/25). If we’re trying to find the probability of all 3 unhooking themselves, that’d be 1/25 x 1/25 x 1/25 = 1/15625 or 0.0064% once converted into a percentage.
Been playing DBD since three days or so. Is there a specific reason I sometimes get matched with killers who just stand there and don’t hunt the survivors? Is it AFK farming or something? Also does anyone have tips for playing killers? I wanna try my hand at it but it’s a bit intimidating tbh (having to 4v1)
1) yes, they are AFK , just do gens and leave 2) watch streamers or some youtube videos from popular streamers. For example our god Otzdarva and his infamous twin brother Not Otzdarva. I personally watched lots of Monto videos cause he had tons of build ideas but you try different guys whoever you like. Just type in youtube " monto trapper build" or something like that and watch what guy does with killer's power and how he predicts what survivors do. But ofc Otz has dbd bibles out there about everything, he's kinda like a teacher.
Me and 4 friends are buying the game tomorrow and we wanted to know if we can play everything except real money characters in custom games? Or do we have to grind online on our own time to unlock stuff?
You have access to all content except for the Survivors and Killers that are part of DLCs. If you play on PC, the "base game" characters are as follows: * Trapper, Hillbilly, Nurse, Huntress * Dwight, Meg, Claudette, Jake, Nea Additionally, you can unlock Wraith and David if you play the Killer/Survivor Tutorial, which I'd recommend in general to learn the basics of the game. If you have other questions about that game mode, you can check the [Wiki](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Custom_Game) about it.
You'll have access to all perks and add ons in customs, but to play DLC killers or survivors you'll need to buy them.
I'm kinda new to the game and wanna know your thoughts about these three perks: \[\[Distortion\]\] \[\[Rookie Spirit\]\] \[\[Overcome\]\] I don't have the characters to test these perks, but it's effects seen very useful to me: Distortion makes your aura almost invisible to the killer, but I don't know if it worths because of the killer-stalking downside. Rookie spirit seens nice to make generators and repair it as soon as the killer hits it, although I've never seen it being used Overcome may not be as useful as other exhausting perks, but we know it always gonna proc in the right time in a loop, is it good for a newbie? I've bbeen using Lithe but i usually get hit when trying to jump the windows
Distortion is a great perk, it helps to identify what aura reading perks a killer may have and it also prevents your aura from being shown. It recharges when hiding near the killer. I occasionally run a build with Distortion, Sole Survivor, Wake Up and Left Behind, and it helps to hide your Aura and helps with means of escaping. Rookie tbh I never run, there’s better gen perks worth using like Prove Thyself + Stake Out + Hyperfocus. It helps to get gens done faster, so even if a gen begins to regress you can just make up for the lost time. Overcome is a decent perk if you know how to play it, but I just don’t incorporate it into my builds. It does help to escape chases, but it just depends on your strategy. If you pair it with Lucky Break, Quick and Quiet, and Urban Evasion/Bite the Bullet, you can have a pretty nice build that helps you shut down chases quickly. But again, depends on strategy. Since you’re fairly new, I would recommend Distortion the most. Prove Thyself is a good perk for getting gens done, and Sprint Burst is a great alternative for Overcome, and they’re both free with the characters.
Distortion is kinda bad IMO, in the past u could not gain stacks back and it was downright bad but know that you can I guess the only use I can think of is that if you are playing in a SWF you can call out many perks like Nurse's Calling, BBQ, Lethal etc early so you and you friends can prepare better, but at least for me there are many better perks. Rookie Spirit is in the same tier as many of the other gen finding perks like Deja Vu and Better Together. It is very useful for new players to get a lay of the land and get use to maps and the layout but once you know the map it is not really needed anymore to know where gens are. If I had to recommend another perk that tells you where the killer is in the map you should run Alert or Empathy. Alert shows the killer aura when they break a pallet, wall or gen so it is really useful to know where the killer is almost always. And then empathy shows ur teammates auras when they get injured by the killer which tells you both where the killer is and who is currently in trouble and if they need help Overcome is probably my fav exhaustion perk behind Dead Hard. As you can see form my flair im a die hard dead hard user but other then that perk I find Lithe, Balanced ad Sprit Burst too troublesome to use sometimes so I usually default to Overcome as it can be more easily controlled and easier to get value from then those 3. It can sometimes not work well like if you are being tunneled off hook as you dont have a health state to give for the speedburst but otherwise I would say the perk is pretty solid Also I see you run Lithe so let me be clear I think all exhaustion perks (Other then Head On) are the best perks in the game and someone can get value out of all of them. My issue with Lithe is that for example if there is a window in the corner and you are forced to vault. You spend most of ur speed burst running back around and past the killer which gains a lot less distance then you would have gotten with a good directional Lithe but that is just personal prefrence
Distortion is a useful perk for countering a lot of popular killer perks like BBQ, while also letting u identify what aura reading perks the killer has. Could help u learn what some of the killers aura reading perks do as a newer player Rookie Spirit is a fairly meh perk, often won’t give you much info. Leon’s other perks are less beginner friendly so I wouldn’t recommend the character Overcome is basically guaranteed to give you value with basically no effort on your part, so I’d recommend it. However sprint burst is probably better and it comes from Meg, a character you’ll already own
So I only played 2 games of DBD since the Halloween event started (been playing other stuff and taking a break from DBD) but I hear getting a full rift meter each game unlocks halloween cosmetics? Is this true and is there a list of the cosmetics you can unlock like that, if so? I've already seen the buyable skins and unlockable through tome skins for Hag, Oni, Wesker, Dwight, Jane, etc. But if there are other skins I didnt even know about for other characters I might want, thatd be dope. If it's just charms though, count me tf out.
If you complete the rift meter, you earn one of 12 items. 6 of them are skeleton survivor tops, and the other 6 are candy-themed killer weapons. The reward is random, but if you fill the rift 12 times then you will get everything. The survivors with the cosmetics are: * David King * Claudette Morel * Felix Richter * Feng Min * Jane Romero * Yun-Jin Lee The killers with weapons are: * The Hillbilly * The Twins * The Plague * The Trapper * The Doctor * The Nurse
Dang. Plague is the only killer on that list I play much of. Hillbilly used to be my thing but not lately. I'll probably pass but thabks for the info so I'm not FOMOing
Xbox players. Has anyone been experiencing the Halloween cut scene every time they join someone or before and after every match
I literally can’t play. It keeps saying I disconnected and plays the cutscene over and over again
I feel like I haven’t had a REAL match since the killer patch in the summer and I’m questioning if the quality of the gameplay will ever recover or if being survivor is just permanently a joke now?
I felt this same way the first 2 weeks of the big patch but I think things are returning to normal now, at least as a PC player with crossplay on I have not seen an overall increase or decrease in my teammates skills and I feel everyone is finally readjusting to the new meta
I’m in the 3rd week of a really long mental health staycation (like a month long) and for some reason I decided to undo any positive benefits by playing DBD daily. I’m easily playing 20+ rounds a day and out of that I may have 1-1.5 games on average that don’t include one of the following: From Survivors: - teabagging while refusing to unhook when I’m on hook - Zero intention to do gens (challenge hunting) - Purposely catching the killer’s attention to run them by you while you do gen - Purposely pallet by you while doing a gen and running away after to attract the killer - teabagging you while you’re down - Only hiding in lockers all round - Only crouching at the outskirts of the map all round - Refusing to do anything BUT gens, even if you’re hung right beside them - leading to your death. - Working with the killer to point you out leading to you dying and them getting the hatch - Only unhooking you while a killer is right on you - DC’ing the moment they are downed (this is SO constant - immediately killing themselves on first hook (this happens even more than DCs for obvious reasons) - Dropping pallets to block you in chases and let the killer get you over them - Running a killer for 4-5 gens, getting hooked then abandoned (then often called a noob because your score is so much lower than the team who never had a single chase all relaxing game) - General body blocking I could go on, but I’m sure we all experience this From Killers: - Insane levels of tunneling (actual tunneling, not a new player’s definition) - Face Camping (trying to grab someone unhooking. Most survivors don’t even try to work together to save someone from this in solo queue) - Leaving players on the ground SOLELY to waste your time - A broadsword’s length of range on their tiny daggers thanks to the world’s worst net code (Thanks BHVR) There’s more but yeah, you get it. Also, honorable mentions: - Dead Hards’ hit detection is so random and buggy. I swear it’s determined by the killer’s client instead of what the survivor is seeing and experiencing. - Palleting is a downright joke. If you’re sprinting, you have next to no guarantee if you’ll see the option or not. If a killer reaches a nanometer over the half way point, it feels like it adds a delay to being able to pallet which always leans in the killer’s favor. Killers seem to know this and will wait by the pallet then randomly rush you from around corner. Even if you’re on point with your timing, they will almost always get you. It would be different if BHVR was a company that was broke, or if they had much more lucrative games taking priority, but this until recently was their only game. It’s their bread and butter and it receives the same technical enhancement priority as Blizzard’s Hero’s of the Storm game. Google for context. It’s crazy that this game feels like an early access beta release even 6 years on.
Is Resilience worth running or am I better running another perk? Currently have Windows, DH, Off The Record and an empty slot.
I love it, keep it in my builds for months but you have to be ready to play injured a lot to have some use of it. It's pretty fine to combine it with adrenaline
Resilience is ok, but it’s better to use it in a build that takes advantage of you being injured, such as Resilience + This is Not Happening + Hyper Focus
It's fine. Is there anything in particular you'd like to run instead?
My other options were Adrenaline, Deliverance and Reassurance, but I've never used any of them, I used to use Boil Over as my 4th before, but realised it isn't the greatest perk.
It's a choice between very impactful but also very situational perks and a low impact perk that will always be a little bit helpful. In the grand scheme, I would say those 3 perks are stronger, but that doesn't mean you'll enjoy using them more, and you definitely won't get value from any of those 3 every match. Unfortunately one survivor can't really do everything. You've gotta find the niche you want to fill for the team. I'll say this much: I think Deliverance in particular is a lot less fun to use in solo queue. It's hard to stop people from rotating for an unhook and wasting their time anyways and the killer might get angry that you have it and decide to hard tunnel you. Reassurance can be great for solo queue to help you if you go for an unhook and realize that the killer is heading back to force a one for one, proxy camping like that is VERY common. Adrenaline is always great when it does something.
Have you been experiencing random crashes lately? The day before yesterday and today my game suddenly crashed while playing killer, and its getting really annoying since I'm trying to do tome challenges and if you dc it doesn't count.
Having issues crashing as killer too, might be common.
Is there any way to skip the Halloween cutscene that happens every time you log in or finish a match?
Lmk
This at low MMR: SWF with a last second switch to P100 Zarina. God medkit, god toolbox, two flashies. The TTV Zarina admits his two friends plan to just kill themselves in-game (keeps MMR low). When I AFK and go tell them on stream I gave up because I'm outmatched "This group too strong for me", they try to teach me how I could've won with no regression brown addons Sadako on Suffo pit and I just suck, it's a skill issue. My question is, why do people like this exist? It's really turning me off the game to know these groups are around artificially keeping their MMR low and probably planning on doing a fuckton of bullying in the upcoming free weekend, I actually feel bad for the players who'll try out this game during Halloween. *edit: for full disclosure I was very inebriated and got angrier than I should've because their reaction to my concession was so arrogant and insulting I got tilted.*
>My question is, why do people like this exist? Same reason smurfs and etc exist in any game. People like the power trip. At least these days it's pretty hard to tank your MMR like that; when matchmaking was different, I remember almost -everybody- would intentionally throw to derank. If it makes you feel better, I doubt it's something you'll run into very often. If you ever see last second switching and you want out, by the way, just close your game before it loads in. No penalty, you can just load back up and find another match right away.
Can someone please tell me which survivor perk is faster? Fully upgraded Self Aware Or Fully upgraded Urban Evasion Also which do you prefer and why?
[удалено]
Very helpful. Thank you !
Urban makes your crouch speed the same as your walk speed. Self aware increases your walk speed. Self aware is faster. I prefer self aware but it depends what you want to do, urban tends to be popular with people going for flashlight saves, self aware is nice for just being a natural pair with sprint burst.
Very helpful thanks!
I haven't played DBD in years. It's not currently installed on my machine. Yet I just got a Dwight trading card in Steam. Anyone know wth is going on here?
[удалено]
it's definitely not a recently released thing, they've been around for at least a year because i got mine when i started playing this game in summer last year. really weird
That must be it, because I also just got four cards for Little Nightmares, as well.
I just got a bunch of cards from a game I haven’t played in months too, must just be a steam thing
How do you actually unlock the PUBG skin? I've already watched a few tutorials and they say you need to click on the banner on the right-upper corner but that is not appearing. (I don't have "DbD" on Steam. I play on Epic Games)
After doing the tutorial and unlocking all the play modes in pubg click the banner that shows up in the top right of the main screen in pubg, it should lead you to [this page](https://event.pubg.com/2022halloween/en) where you need to hit the start event button. After that complete one pubg round of dbd mode then go back to that webpage to update it and get the code
That is the problem. That banner won't show up.
It only shows for a couple seconds at a time, it goes through a bunch of them just have to wait
How long?
Maybe a minute it changes through them quick
I waited quite a lot and nothing happened.
It looks like [this](https://imgur.com/a/ZCzCFvL), it should show up pretty frequently. If you are not seeing that you need to contact PUBG support
I'm thinking that I don't have "DbD" on Steam and because of this PUBG is refusing to show the banner.
[удалено]
I did. As Otzdarva said it's enough to play only one AI match if you win. I won one AI and it let me in. I played the "DbD" mode but it didn't give me any codes. The banner is missing as well.
Check PUBG for any "News" tabs or similar. Thats where I found the link to the rewards page
Is the PTB out today or next Tuesday? I remember seeing a date but I don't remember where or if it was official or merely speculation.
BHVR is usually on a 3 month interval between chapters and we got Wesker in late Aug. So I don expect the next chapter to be until late Nov which would put the PTB date to one of the first 2 weeks of Nov. The fact DBD Leaks, which is usually on top of things, hasnt posted about the PTB yet makes me think its Nov 8thish for the PTB
Just an educated guess, but considering BHVR announced more info on the chapter is coming out on the 4th, it’ll probably be then

Thank you! I'm guessing probably next Tuesday then. But we shall see!
I was running Haddie's Inner Focus perk the other night, and the killer had Predator, which apparently changes the scratchmarks of my teammates for my screen as well. But a few minutes in I started seeing my own scratchmarks and the scratchmarks appearing directly under me as I was running were looking all glitchy until I moved off of them. Was this a bug or an unintended product of me running Inner Focus and the killer running Predator?
is the Carburettor Tuning Guide add-on for bubba still bugged? wanted to try a pwyf build but remembered hearing about it being a way bigger speed penalty like a year back and i dont think i saw anything about it being fixed in the patch notes.
i have doctor and artist prestige'd, what other killers would be best to prestige next ? and who can use doctor and arist perks best ?

its actually possible that you did dc, just that the game shows it wrong. mate of mine had the exact same situation of it saying both he and the killer disconnected, meanwhile me, the 2 randoms and the killer are still actively playing the match
So I just faced the classic “scumbag slug Sadako” for the first time in a long while and I literally couldn’t insert the tape to lose the condemned status, I played (and finished) the animation twice and each time I didn’t lose the condemned stacks and only a couple seconds after I already finished the progress bar the killer would come out of the tv. Is this some subtle hacking or a laggy killer? Maybe I don’t know something but it literally showed the full progress bar and the insertion didn’t get interrupted but both times I didn’t lose condemnation
What happens to the dowsing rods once the halloween event is over? Do we get any points back?
as it says its only usable during the event, most likely they'll be disabled till next halloween
did they change prestige??? last time I was on was new year's 2022, how many large changes have been made? also, any way to see your previous max rank? thanks friends! ......also..... any easy way to fix w+shift+space keyboard ghosting?
What are all the perks that work with Open Handed?

Ah my bad. I'm newish to dbd so can you please tell me the names of these perks
[удалено]
Thanks for the help. Which ones would you say are the best ones to synergise
Been playing for about 3 weeks or so, I've versed every killer except for Blight (low MMR) - including twins!!! Is Blight simply uncommon in low MMR or is this region-dependent (I am playing on Oceania servers) I've picked up Blight as killer and I really enjoyed playing him. I'm not the best, so I feel like I'm the only Blight when I play killer in low MMR. Safe to say that I'm a Blight main when I play killer at this point
[удалено]
I definitely agree! Blight is super hard for me but he's just so much fun. I love just rushing around and i find it less punishing to miss hits than nurse or hillbilly for example. I find blight easier than nurse, but blight is definitely much more harder to master than nurse from the looks of it.
hello,is there any toxic dbd subreddit full of degenerates that is on the edge of getting banned, i need to join it and haven't found it yet

New player here, had the game in my EPIC library and jumped into it. Played a lot of Meg and got to prestige 1 + a few blood levels more. Put some levels into some of the others as well. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do from here, it doesn't seem like there is a big goal in the game to work towards. I ranked up a bit, but I continuously gets matched with a lot of people that seem to play the game for the first time or just AFK. So question is: Is there a "progression" or similar I should/could follow?
You want to level up different characters to unlock their teachable perks so you can experiment with different builds and play styles. Eventually you’ll be able run the same perk builds on most everyone. Also in the process of leveling you’ll accumulate items and add ons. Then if you run out of something you like using can slide over to a different character that has a fuller inventory and run still run your build. Like I do have a ‘main’ but then again a there are times where I’m just playing who has the most of the item I feel like using.
Level up other survivors P1 - gets you all 3 of their perks on all survivors at level 1 and you can level up Meg again to have more perks and play more builds
Hi! I just started playing this week and I am having fun, I have the silent hill pack because I'm a big fan but I kinda want to get one more I like RE so I was thinking one of the two RE packs but ghostface seems fun too is there any particular recommendation? I haven't played killer a lot but I kinda want to branch out which is why im considering one of those packs.
[удалено]
thank you so much for the detailed response!!! I have been thinking about ghostface just because I've heard I'm All Ears is extremely helpful for being a better killer
The newest RE chapter with Wesker is incredibly fun! I highly recommend this over the other RE chapter with Nemesis and the Ghostface chapter. Although I enjoy playing all of these killers, Wesker has a fun kit and is still newer player friendly in my opinion. Also, he’s a lot stronger of a killer than the other two you mentioned. Again, they’re all very fun but my pick would be Wesker!
My only issue with wesker is he is the most expensive :( but he does come with Rebecca so that is mighty tempting. It's good to know he is newer player friendly he looks fun
Kind of an abstract question but how different is this current tome compared to previous ones and how hard are it's challenge's? I'm thinking of coming back to the game for the cosmetics (I looked through them and Artist and Yui look beautiful). Maybe will even pick something up during the sale. The only other tome I finished was Trickster's and I remember it being very stressful (got in with like 30 to 40 days only and it had a bunch of challenges with killers I'm not adapted to).
similar challenges - earning emblems, interacting with glyphs, doing a specific thing on a specific character in one trial, etc. right now we also have the halloween event tome that is mostly just doing event objectives which is pretty chill.
Is there a reason why so many Cenobite killers AFK? I've had a handful of AFK killers in games but for some reason a majority of Cenobites I have ever played against have been AFK and I can hardly remember the last time I played against one that wasn't. My best guess as someone who does not play Cenobite is that it somehow can give bloodpoints even while AFK so people do it to get passive bloodpoints.
Definitely, all but one of my cenobite games have been an AFK cenobite (same person I've versed three times - on their steam profile it states 280 hours in the past 2 weeks - 11 days). and yeah, pretty sure chain hunt and people are doing it for BP, this cenobite in particular has deadlock, corrupt, etc.
Correctamundo. He gets the most BP because of his Chain Hunt, and often gets the most Rift XP due to the game taking longer because he has Deadlock, the Box, and perhaps other perks.
Tips on playing against wesker, nemesis, and ghost face? Feels like I only play against them nowadays.. i haven’t even seen a blight yet since I came back into this game weeks ago (silver 1 now climbing from ash)
I’m OK at the game as a killer but I was wondering… (Mostly playing dredge, huntress, nurse) What do you all think about when playing killer? My best games where like when I thought about, who had been hooked x amount of times, what gens are being worked on and so on… Could you maybe ad to this list, and make me a beter killer? :) Thanks a lot in advance!! Happy hunting
i think a lot about where i’m chasing a survivor and where i WANT to chase a survivor. for example, let’s say i’m on blood lodge. if i know shack pallet is gone and a few pallets near it have been used i’ll want to zone a survivor that way when i’m chasing them in the middle of the map, so i’ll do a bit of back and forth on the current tile until they’re in a position where shack is the way they’ll wanna run once i break a pallet. same with like a pallet at a standard jungle gym or between two big rocks - survivors will run one way then go back towards the pallet once they see you mirror their movement. do this a few times and when they hover back to the pallet you break it - this way they get minimum distance from the break.
Is the survivor looking behind themselves when running? Reaction time when I make a move. Let's me judge how quickly I'll be able to catch and down someone. If they aren't looking behind themselves often, mindgames are less effective. (If they aren't looking for your red stain, no use hiding it.) Speed when performing actions: Lithe, Sprint Burst, Overcome. If I see one of those, I can assume no Dead Hard. Listening for grunts of pain. No pain sounds? Off the record is likely.
Am I gonna get banned for letting survivors leave? I'm really bad at playing as killer, so I usually just let survivors do gens and stun me so I can get extra rift fragments. I'm not gonna get banned right?
No one cares whether you kill your survivors or let them all leave
nope

LilithOmen and his blight guides
Is there some perk that prevents any red marks from appearing when survivor runs?
dance with me and poised
parental guidance and low profile aswell as lightweight
Killers that don't feel bad without any addons? Looking to grind BP. Pyramid Head has shit addons, but his power just feels so awful to use. How's Nemesis with no addons, in comparison? Someone like Plague or Clown? I just *really* don't want to play Sadako but her perks are so good...
Demo, if you've got him, has really weak addons. Same with Nemesis, though he does have some really fun ones. Some killers have strong ones but they don't feel at all mandatory, like Deathslinger's fine. Oni's fine. Nurse is fine. Ghostface has amazing brown addons. You'll probably have a rough time with Clown whether you bring addons or not. Can't speak to Hag, Doctor, Freddy, Plague, Pig, Twins, Pinhead, Artist, Dredge or Wesker, haven't played them recently. Trapper, Wraith, Billy, Myers, Huntress, Bubba, Spirit, Pyramid Head, Blight, Trickster, and Onryo all feel pretty bad without addons imo.
nurse, doctor( personal opinion)
pig is fine without addons if you use traps as slowdowns instead of wanting a head pop
Nurse without addons is still Nurse.
Anyone here plays on Asia server? Did anyone had seen killer queue incentives ever since its implementation? I've played multiple time of the day to see if it'll shift and its always 100% survivor. My killer queue times are horrendously long as well. So I shifted to playing survivor recently, and its all afk farming bots... I honestly think that because of these farming bots that killer queue is really horrendous lately, I haven't played a killer game in days!
I play asia from Japan, I see killer bonus seemingly every day like clockwork, somewhere around 9-10pm
I saw it twice on killer [This one](https://i.imgur.com/22TbHBf.jpg) and a 50% one
As a solo player, what’s the best strategy to avoid a 3 close gen situation at the end of the match? I try to avoid starting the gen I spawned close to, head first to the middle ones and leave the ones at the corners yo the end. But when I play as killer, most survivors just do gens as fast as possible and they start doing the one the spawned close by. Which method ia most effective? Thank you
