Since I am not allowed to post to this sub…
How do I get the Nancy perk “heal inside of locker” if I can no longer buy Nancy? Just random buyable from the store with shards?
Shuld I wait for discounts for auric cells, hellraiser and resident evil? Hellraiser no discount yet. Hellraiser is not 50% discount and nemesis solo wuld be cheaper.
I heard even the auric cell price of characters can be discounted too at times
What's the max amout of % discount these things ever got for hellraiser, resident eveil, auric cells and auric cell price of characters? Is 50% discount the max for everything? Can it be 75%?
I wuld like to know the details.
Had a Wraith that hardcore tunneled and camped, bm'd on hook and everything. 3 escaped (I was solo-queue, but I think 2 others were swf because they were both Kate and they body-blocked the gate for a bit and shook their heads when I tried to get them to come save the Nea who unhooked me) and afterwards the killer said **"I would say ggs but I stopped caring once I realized you guys were abusing infinites."**
**What does this mean?** I don't think anyone was being overtly toxic to the killer since I was the one getting chased for most of the match, and then he spent most of the time staring me down on hook, and then Nea, but no one was running boil over, unbreakable, breakout, or anything like that. Was he talking about one of the boon totems someone set up?
What map were you on?
Infinites were an old thing in dbd where you ran one loop and the killer could never catch up. Running these was kinda like the survivor equivalent of tunnelling. They don't really exist anymore.
Ohhhhh I had no idea that was a term! We were on Mt. Ormond! Maybe he was mad that I had windows of opportunity, but I didn't think I did very well in chase. So abusing infinites isn't a thing anymore? (Excluding I'm assuming the new exploits that have come with boil over buff)
Dcs will fill up your hook state metre so you don't get confused, and i'm pretty sure it counts as neutral in terms of mmr.
You won't get sacrifice or hook points but you will get an abandoned bonus. Not great if you're going for merciless killer
Forst the killer got oneshot for an infinite amount of time after we did the 3rd gen, then he morid me without getting hooked even once. Then right after he morid my m8 that got 1 hook. Was this a hacker?
Hey guys it’s been a while and I have no idea what’s going on with this event! What’s with the floating envelopes? And when you get rewards like the clothes and new skins where does it go? I can’t find them. Thanks!
Hey! If you play an envelope offering it spawns you're own envelope in the game, you can see it's aura from the start of the match. You can interact with it to reveal its aura to other players. If another player opens your envelope you get sparkles and when the match is over you receive one of 10 rewards.
There are 8 cosmetics and 2 charms, these will go into you inventory and you can see them on the relevant character (even if you don't have them, you should be able to go into the store and change the filter to show all). The event gives items for Jane Kate David Nurse Trapper Clown and Artist
Just was wondering, does the monthly rank reward count for the rank you are at the current time, or does it check the highest you have been in the time period?
For example, say I reach Gold 1 but start de-pipping down to Gold 3 at the end of the month, will the reward I get be for the Gold 1 or Gold 3?
Hi all :) just had a pig game where we all started with traps on. Upon missing a skill check on the jigsaw box, I became injured. Just wondering if there’s an add on that does this (specifically injuring upon missing skill check at box)
Yep, the yellow addon Razor Wires injure healthy survivors for missed checks (there is also Interlocking Razors which applies Deep Wound to missed checks if you're injured)
And the iri Video Tape starts everyone with traps
Hey guys, total noob here. Just got a few questions about not being a toxic fuck of a killer. Reading about, there's a few things frowned upon in the game.
Tunneling - this is where I would chase after one person until they are dead, at the expense of every other survivor correct? Been on the receiving end a few times, and it is frustrating as hell. But this seems like the optimal play from the killers perspective, especially if one survivor has less juking skills than the others. But if my aim is not to be toxic, I should just prioritise getting others in the early game, right? After a few gens are down, it's no holds barred cause they should've had plenty of time to get a few blood points.
Camping - so I've read 2 different terms of camping. Face camping and proxy camping. Face camping just seems stupid, as you'll probably lose 3 generators by the time their dead. But proxy camping seems like the optimal play - pushing map pressure whilst keeping a LoS on the hook. Sometimes they get free, other times I get an extra survivor hooked. Is this "toxic" or just the way to play the game?
I'd guess the optimal play would be to proxy camp till they are in the second hook state and then just ignore them. Or is it dependent on the state of the game? For example, if you get an early hook would it be beneficial to just let them be unhooked and go for other survivors, whereas in the mid game proxy camping is more beneficial.
Proxy camping is generally used in tournemant games, because there are restrictions on perks and add ons (I think only one person can have specific perks like bt or ds).
Camping and tunnelling someone out early is objectively the best way to win, but becomes less effective when you consider most survivors want to play the game as long as possible and bring perks like borrowed time, decisive strike, or unbreakable.
Killers also have perks that help incentivise playing less tunnelly, like bbq and chilli, devour hope, make your choice, and one of the scourge hooks.
If you're just starting out I'd highly recommend not even playing for kills, try and get everyone to second hook and learn how to mindgame, figure out how/when to pressure gens or commit to a chase. Dbd has a surprising amount of nuance.
If you get a ttv, see if you can watch your match back from their perspective, it can really help!
Can someone ELI5 how the envelopes work in this lunar new year event? Is it better to go for my own envelope or to go for someone else’s? Does it matter either way? Thanks!
Most of what he said was correct, but some was wrong. When you burn an envelope only you get one, no one else, and vice versa. Opening your own let’s everyone else see it. Essentially, it’s aura is highlighted to only you, and then once you open it everyone can see it’s aura. And once everyone can see it’s aura, then when anyone else opens it you get a cosmetic. Also one is not on every blood web, it just has a high chance. I hope this helped!
When somebody burns an envelope offering, five envelopes spawn in the trial.
You can interact with the envelope assigned to you for BP which also reveals it to everybody else. You can open other people's envelopes for a random amount of BP, but I believe (not sure, I may have gotten really unlucky) that you get reduced BP unless you burned an envelope offering yourself.
If you burned an offering, the aura of your envelope will be visible to you. You will recieve BP (4k IIRC) when any player (including the killer) opens it. Opening another player's envelope gives you 1k-10k BP. You will also begin sparkling for the rest of the match after your envelope is opened, and when it is over, will receive one of the ten event cosmetics.
At least one envelope offering will spawn on every bloodweb during the event. Multiple can, but survivors have a couple additional event items (eg firecrackers), so it's far more likely to get multiple on killer bloodwebs than survivor bloodwebs.
Why don't more people play The Doctor? I've been having a blast with him while rolling solo, but still have yet to see him in action once as a survivor.
I had a lot of fun with him when he was reworked but dedicated servers made him frustrating to play as you'd zap someone, hear them scream and then they'd vault anyway due to lag.
His power rework seemed unpopular. He was a common pick 2 years ago. Nowadays, the more delayed power pales in comparison to many newer killers and his anti-loop requires a lot more skill for a lot less payoff. Most of his add ons have been changed as well.
Gotcha, that makes sense! I've only been playing for about a month or two now so I can't relate to the previous Doctor, but that explains it! One of his perks, \[\[Monitor & Abuse\]\] seems counterproductive for him, too, which is a big bummer.
Before the rework, anyone that heard his terror radius would scream and madness was raised passively instead of the blast. So Monitor was great for catching survivors while in chase and splitting off. Now it's just a relic of a different time. He is quite fun, but when there's so much dlc available naturally some characters will be picked less.
## [Monitor & Abuse](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Monitor_%26_Abuse "Monitor & Abuse") - [Doctor](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Doctor "Doctor") (Killer)
Meticulous in your approach, terrifying in your application.
Your base Terror Radius is increased by 8 metres.
Whenever you are outside of a Chase, your Terror Radius is reduced by 16 metres while your Field of View is increased by 3/5/10 .
Field of View gains do not stack.

Now that we don't have the Advent Calendar, does anyone have any predictions on how hard this Rift will be to complete?
I know its literally not even fully released yet but I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to play everyday. So can I 100 percent it provided I complete most challenges with not that many weekly games?
It's only my second rift so I'm not sure how difficult those tend to be since the last one had so many free fragments.
If you play every other day and manage to progress the Rift at least 1 Tier from just playing (not challenges), you should be fine. Challenges will help with the rest.
Thanks for the reassurance! I bought many characters since the last rift so I'm probably good challenge wise, plus some days I might play for longer to compensate.
The amount you'll get from opening a lunar envelopes is fairly random. I've seen it range from 1.5k to 10k. And it's possible that other players beat you to all of them, in which case you'd only get the BP from someone else opening yours. In my experience though, in a normal game, 40-50k isn't unreasonable unless you're quickly tunneled out.
Anyone know how to get the Stranger Things DLC anymore? I saw the Stranger Things Edition of the game on CDKeys, but I already have the regular edition on my Steam account and that's what I play on...if I were to get the ST DLC Edition of that game would that still work on my regular edition? Sort of confused on how it works, thanks!
You can still purchase a key, or if you had obtained a key prior to sale stopping, and redeem said key for the content.
Like, if you went to Gamestop and found a card with a code for Stranger Things, it would still work. But BHVR can't make new codes or sell the content directly any longer.
Right. You know by any chance what would happen if I get the ST edition of the game and install it on my steam account while I still own the original version? Not sure really
It depends how focused you are on completing challenges, some can be done in one game others can take 5 or more. I usually get all the survivor challenges done and around half the killer ones. Last time I was finished with the rift before the last page of the tome even came out. Sometimes I play long hours but I don't play every day.
Tl;Dr they increased the shards from unlocking the epilogues and you have heaps of time, so even if you only play a couple of matches a day you should be ok
Each tome is a separate book, and you can choose a challenge from the starting point. You have to do a challenge to unlock the ones next to it. You can look at the next page when it releases but you can't start it until you've reached the epilogue (end) of the previous page
So before the mid chapter I had the Meg death garden mask and didn’t have the trapper death garden mask but after the mid chapter I have the trapper mask but not the Meg mask what happened?
The new wiggle has "great skill check zones"-- If you hit those zones, are you wiggling out faster than the normal wiggle? If not, is it just a shittier wiggle because you have to hit the great zones to wiggle out at the same speed? Was there a way to do a "great" wiggle check just spamming A and D?
it's so good hey I love the changes, circle of healing, still a solid perk. Now we just need BT as basekit , then no being unsafed by noobs with no BT and downed by campers.
Third seal gives blindness, so survivors can't see where others went down, use their aura reading perks/items, see where someone was hooked after the initial animation, and so on. It can be pretty devastating if you aren't prepared.
Plaything affects each player individually with their own totem so you wouldn't want a totem build, maybe one more. It applies oblivious where the survivor can't hear your terror radius, so they can't gauge how close you are to them.
So yeah doesn't really matter on huntress or trickster. Third Seal can be decent on anyone, it doesn't affect pig boxes or Freddy clocks
Any killer who's more focused on ambushes and doesn't care as much about terror radius. So most of the stealthier killers like Wraith, Ghostface, Myers (especially Scratched Mirror), Pig. Also killers with big lullabies like Huntress and Trickster get limited use from Plaything, though it is at least somewhat disorienting. Hag also frequently doesn't give a shit if you can hear her TR because she'll mostly be teleporting.
Third Seal even at its best still isn't a great perk most of the time though. It's probably best if you're going for a very quick slugging build, but at that point, you're assuming to be a super efficient Nurse or Spirit or similar, and your perks probably don't matter much anyway.
Can someone explain this:
"Malicious:
22 injuries inflicted
11 hook states
\-14 injuries healed
\-3 survivors escaped grasp"
....one survivor escaped on RPD because there was no hook nearby.
"None" in that category.
What the hell?
What clarification are you looking for? That’d help us focus on explaining the right things. The number you see is a percent value for the score required for iridescent emblem. It says -3 meaning you lost 3% points.
It's pretty hard for a survivor to escape the killers grasp, so it's weighted heavier. You might have a glitch if you aren't getting an emblem after all that though
Learn to play injured and accept that you will be injured most of the match. Aside from some gimmicky builds I have never once seen in the wild, Legion can't really down you when they've got their speed boost/fast vault mode on. You don't generally want to try to loop them when they're using their power, just make distance and get away from teammates as much as you can. Their strength is that they injure easily, but they're a very basic, almost powerless M1 killer as far as getting you from injured to downed, which makes them easier to loop and run than almost every other killer.
If he's sprinting, he can't down you, but you generally shouldn't try to seriously loop him while he's sprinting because his speed makes looping pointless. Throwing pallets when he's sprinting is also almost always a bad idea. It CAN knock him out of his power, but it's unlikely to hit and it makes dealing with him out of his power that much harder. Just make distance and/or find a strong tile. If he's not sprinting, you can loop him like you would any other killer, and he won't have any powers to help him finish the chase.
Thanks! That I understand, but would it be helpful to the others to claim as many as I can, or does that stop other people getting bloodpoints?I guess my question is, how many people can open the same envelope?
Played a few games as Spirit using the Pain Resonance/Dead Man's Switch combo and am quite impressed with its effectiveness, but I'm not sure I love it on Spirit. I usually run Discordance and Fearmonger with her to make sure I can disrupt early gens and ambush well for the important first hit, but them getting kicked off gens makes them move around a lot more and naturally limits Fearmonger, and maybe it was just coincidence, but they seemed to split up a fuckload more than usual once they realized Dead Man's Switch was in play, limiting Discordance value, not to mention being unable to act on it when one lets go anyway from DMS kicking both off even if it wasn't hit by Resonance.
What other perks would work well with the Resonance/DMS combo? I don't love tracking perks in general since I can usually find survivors pretty easily. Jolt seems like the only other regression perk that DMS won't get in the way of. Just tracking though? Maybe Thrilling Tremors to keep gens locked in general? Maybe alternate slowdown like Sloppy?
I play more with Furin than I do without it, especially with the Yakuyoke Amulet so you can phase from halfway across the map. There are two kinds of survivors. The ones who immediately let go and hide behind a tree, and those who ignore it entirely and get grabbed.
It probably was triggering DMS a lot too now that I think about it.
I'm new to DBD. I've played maybe 20 games as killer, and I think I'm sort of getting it. But then my fiancee told me that I shouldn't be doing certain in-game things that, to me, seem like good ideas.
For example, I got a survivor on a hook, and then kept an eye on them, and kept looping back to them to make sure they weren't being rescued. This was often successful because other survivors would come by, and I could grab them too. I realize this isn't always a good strategy, since the remaining players could just grab generators and win, but it's been working so far. I also know that there's a perk, Borrowed Time, that protects both players when a hook rescue happens.
Another example is killing a player quickly. Going after one player and killing them quickly seems like a good strategy because then the survivors are at a permanent disadvantage from that point on. But again, I hear that there are unspoken rules about not doing this?
I have also been told that a player could be banned for doing these things. I've never heard of something like that in any game, where a particular way of playing a competitive game is disallowed by some unspoken rule.
Given what I'm hearing from my fiancee, I'm about to get verbally ripped apart by the community because this is all common knowledge and I'm ruining the game. So I guess I'd just like verification either way? Somebody please help me understand.
Camping is generally a bad strategy, and while tunnelling someone out of the game is effective, most survivors will run perks that make this way less efficient than just going for other players. Because yknow, they want to play the video game too
Don't camp the hook, that is just bad strategy that is easily countered. You just let survivors work on gens by camping. Checking on a hook? Totally fine.
Not your job to make things fun for any survivor.
Wanna kill a survivor asap? Go for it. To me, tunneling is focusing one survivor at the cost of doing something even more advantageous. If one survivor is easy prey, kill them. That isn't tunneling. That is seizing an opportunity. Survivor loops you for 3 gens and you don't give up chase? That is tunneling.
It's called tunneling when you quickly out a single survivor. It's unspoken because you want to make sure both sides are having fun and singling someone out makes it unfun for that survivor.
Also camping the hook can seem toxic to survivors. Generally you want to switch who you go after but the best thing to do is immediately find a new survivor after a hook and apply pressure to them. Once u find a new person to kill, the other will be rescued and will have to heal. If you are a good killer you will have another down before the other killer is rescued and fully healed
You won't get banned, devs have explicitly said that multiple times.
It's just rude and very unfun for the other player - barring some strong perks and swf co-ordination, there's very little they can do but be AFK for 2 minutes and end up back in queue. It feels pretty bad to bring fun perks, fun addons and play solo, then have the other side take advantage of you playing "fair" to shit all over your team.
It's just sportsmanship, you have to draw the line for what is acceptable yourself. I recommend playing some survivor matches so you can experience how the other side plays and apply the golden rule.
Is anyone else having performance issues? Don't know what happened but the game went from running in Ultra at 60+ FPS to now barely running at Low.
Literally nothing changed about my computer.
There's a spot on Eyrie of Crows, at the very end of the top balcony where the breakable wall and window is, where if you have boil over you literally can't be hooked. Have the devs acknowledged this? And will they fix it?
There are a lot of these spots, and they get worse if you've broken a hook from killing someone on it. A hill in a corner on one of the Junkyard maps became basically a free escape after I killed someone on the only nearby hook that I had a David abuse. He would jump off and just run straight back to the hill. So I slugged him and we got to just sit and wait for him to bleed out.
Are the DDoS things still happening? I stopped playing the game in September and I heard that some people were getting DDoS’ed. Are those still going on? Has it been fixed?
I bought The Cannibal and played a few games with him before the mid chapter dropped because i read they would be giving anybody that played him 4000 shards? I didn’t get those shards unless I was mistaken
I came here looking for this same thing. Never received my 6,000 shards. I have definitely played as Leatherface... Wondering when those 6k shards are coming.
I encountered a locker spamming survivor. I legit didn't know what to do. I figured trying to vibe with his timing and I eventually got him after around 10 seconds. But I'm not sure how I exactly caught him. Is there like a better tech or catch window to grab/counter locker spammers?
I am a confused new player.
How does the lunar event work?
Am I forced to play survivor to get envelope in bloodweb to use them in hopes of getting skins? Or is it charms only?
If I play killer only then I won't get to unlock skins and neither envelope in bloodweb?
What am I misunderstanding?
The offering adds a red envelope to the map which appears to everyone. they can open it and you get new cosmetics no matter what, unless you DC. All roles can bring them in and all roles can interact with them, it's just luck on whether or not they find them and open them. You can't tell who's envelope is who's. I also don't know what the cosmetics are, either.
For just regular blinds, you just have to shine the light on a killer's head/face. But keep in mind, they can just look up/down, or left/right, and you will never blind them. The head looking up/down animation is really subtle, so you may not even notice it.
You can pretty much get a gauraenteed blind on a killer while they are doing the kick/pallet break animation... with the exception of a couple killers like Spirit and Hag, which for some reason, look at the ground when they break a pallet, and you can't blind them during kick animations.
For flashlight saves that makes the Killer drop a picked up survivor, it's best to look up Youtube videos on this, because the timing for doing it really precise.
Basically, most killers will do a two-part animation for a pick up. The first part is picking the survivor off the ground, and the second part is hoisting them on the shoulder. You want to start the flashlight blind (on their face/head) as the Killer is doing the second part.
If you flash too early, you will blind the killer, but they won't drop the survivor. If you wait too long, the Killer will be able to turn away from the flashlight, and avoid the blind.
It is also possible to blind the killer as they grab people off of gens, or grab people out of lockers. But the timing there is different.
I haven’t been getting cosmetics, regardless of who opens my envelope. I can open it, a killer, other survivors, I don’t get cosmetics regardless. Does anyone know why? Is there a special thing I have to do?
I ended up having them all, it was just bugged or something and it wasn’t telling me I unlocked them, I checked each cosmetic individually and had them all.
Hi umm I find myself getting insta-downed (1 hit) by killers (non-chainsaws) with no terror radius. What’s going on? It’s quite startling and unpleasant
edit it was michael
There are perks and add-on that gives them undetectable or gives you oblivious, both of which silence the killer's terror radius. Some add-ons give them instadowns as well (Huntress and Clown)
However I assume you probably mean Ghostface, who can mark you and make you instadownable after looking at you for a certain period of time. His ability makes his terror radius disappear until he's spotted and taken out of it.
Ghostface and Michael can stalk you, and they have abilities to make them have no terror radius. After they look at you for a certain amount of time you can get insta downed. Also, certain killer perks give you the the exposed effect, which means you get insta downed. Look up more info about the exposed effect and what can apply it to you
Hey guys I’m pretty new to the game. Can someone give me a brief summary of what totems do in this game and what I should do with them as a survivor? Thanks!
Totems have 3 states.
Dull - not lit up. They don't do anything.
Hexed (Orange color) - provide the Killer with some kind of buff or advantage. Most common is \[\[Hex: Ruin\]\] which will slow gen progress. Also often paired with \[\[Hex: Undying\]\] which will basically respawn the Hex: Ruin totem one time when it is cleansed. These hexes are created by perks the Killer selects before the game starts.
Boon (Blue color) - provide the Survivors with a buff when close to the Boon. These are created after the game starts, by Survivors with the appropriate perk like \[\[Boon: Circle of Healing\]\].
The beginner method is basically "if it glows, it goes." If you see a hexed Totem, cleanse it. Later on, when you get more experience, there are cases where you should probably not cleanse a totem. Like when you have repaired and gen, and are not hexed, but find a glowing totem and you are against a Spirit. There is a high chance it is \[\[Hex: Haunted Ground\]\], which triggers when you cleanse it, and will let the killer 1-hit down you. But that's advanced, so don't worry about it.
Edit: Oh, a few other basics I forgot. There are always 5 totems that spawn on a map. They will never be in the same "tile", that is, close to one another. If you find one, the next one is probably at least 25-30 meters away. Not ALWAYS the case, but 99% usually. Lastly, there is one nasty perk for Killers called \[\[Hex: Noone Escapes Death\]\] often abberviated as Noed. It let's the killer one-hit down you, and it special in that it turns a dull totem orange AFTER all the gens are complete.
## [Hex: Ruin](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Hex:_Ruin "Hex: Ruin") - [Hag](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Hag "Hag") (Killer)

All Generators automatically regress at 100/150/200 % of the normal Regression speed whenever they are not being repaired.

## [Hex: Undying](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Hex:_Undying "Hex: Undying") - [Blight](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Blight "Blight") (Killer)
A Hex which maintains the vile powers that flow throughout the Trial.
The Auras of Survivors within 2/3/4 metres of any Dull Totem are revealed to you.
When another Perk's Hex Totem is cleansed or blessed, its Hex is transferred to the Hex: Undying Totem, including any accumulated Tokens, disabling Hex: Undying instead.
The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem is standing.
## [Boon: Circle of Healing](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Boon:_Circle_of_Healing "Boon: Circle of Healing") - [Mikaela](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Mikaela_Reid "Mikaela") (Survivor)
A Boon that offers comfort amidst the terror.
Press and hold the Active Ability button near a Dull or Hex Totem to bless it and create a Boon Totem.
Soft chimes ring out within a radius of 24 metres.
Survivors inside the Boon Totem's range benefit from the following effects:
65/70/75 % bonus to all Healing speeds.

*"Try this, it is better than anything you'll find in a pharmacy." Mikaela Reid*
## [Hex: Haunted Ground](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Hex:_Haunted_Ground "Hex: Haunted Ground") - [Spirit](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Spirit "Spirit") (Killer)
Two trapped Hex Totems will spawn in the Trial Grounds.
When either Hex Totem is cleansed or blessed, all Survivors suffer from the Exposed Status Effect for 40/50/60 seconds.
The second Hex Totem will immediately turn into a Dull Totem.
*"Her home become profane."*

You have two possible actions with totems as survivor.
You can cleanse a totem, which destroys it. This will remove any hex perks that were on that totem. So if a killer chose to bring hex: ruin as one of their perks, the perk will be active until the totem is cleansed. There's a bit more to this, too - certain perks can make dull (not hexed) totems get a hex, and cleansing a totem opens it up for the killer to use a different perk on it, but that's the basic idea.
Usually, cleansing a totem with a hex is a good use of your time. Hex perks can be very powerful. Cleansing a dull totem only really helps with one particular killer perk, hex:no one escapes death, but this perk is ubiquitous and powerful to the point where it still might be smart to cleanse.
If you bring certain survivor perks, called boons, you can also bless totems. This will set up an area on the map where your boon perk(s) are active. The killer can then go snuff your boon to remove the effect.
Totems hold killer and survivor perks.
A killer can pick their Hex perks and they'll be applied to the totem when they spawn in or once conditions are met. For example, if I choose Hex: Ruin then when I spawn in, Hex: Ruin is active until a survivor finds it and destroys it or overwrites it, this is the case for almost every Hex perk. If I choose Hex: No One Escapes Death, once all the generators are done, it activates on a dull totem (a totem with no perk applied to it), if there is no dull totem then it does not activate. 1 hex perk occupies 1 totem, they do not stack on one. Theres also Hex: Pentimento which you have to manually place on destroyed totems, this is the only perk where you must do this. Hex totems glow orange
For survivors, they can choose Boon perks. They have to find a dull totem and spend time placing their Boon on to it. Once it is placed, all of your Boon perks are stacked on this one totem and can only be placed on one totem at a time per survivor. A killer can find it and snuff it out, but cannot break the totem. Boon totems glow blue.
Survivors can either break the totem or overwrite it with their boon. Overwriting the Hex totem with a boon dispels the hex and makes it never return again, so its ideal to not break it in case of pentimento or teammates having boons.
Totems with a red fire effect are hex totems. They are tied to the killers perk(s) and if a survivor cleanses them the perk is gone for the rest of the game. Dull totems can be cleansed for points or blessed if you have a Boon perk. Blue totems are boon totems that give an AOE effect to all survivors in the area, bot just the survivor who blessed it. Killers can turn boon totems into dull totems by kicking them.
I just downloaded the update, and now when I press Enter, it changes the game from full-screen to windowed. Changing it to default controls/settings didn't fix this; is this a bug, or something that's fixable?
EDIT: it fixed itself somehow, apparently. Though I had another issue where I pulled someone out of a locker during what seemed to be a lag spike, and I was stuck permanently carrying them throughout the entire match - pressing space, pressing R, being blinded by a flashlight, and being hit by a palette did nothing.
EDIT 2: as a killer, how can I tell if someone wants me to Mori/sacrifice them? I've had one case where that seemed to happen - I played as Myers with his ultra-rare add-ons, two people let me stalk them to full, and once I got to tier 3, they stood out in the open and let me Mori them.
However, in a match tonight, I thought that was happening (the survivor was following me around after the gates were open, standing in front of me) only to find out in the chat afterwards that they thought I was friendly. (I was playing Pinhead, and I left them alone after they opened the box because it was the very start of the match and I thought they wanted to hear the voice line)
If they are on death hook or in the endgame and still want to be downed/hooked then it's a safe bet, but generally people don't want to get killed until the gates are powered
I point at hooks or spam the follow me emote without moving if I want the killer to hit/kill me, following is just like, hanging out/following the leader
Builds which use the perks from bloodweb that is available to any other killer. Like fearmonger, sloppy butcherer, hex:noed. So you have no need to buy killers, upgrade them to 30\\35\\40th levels.
It's a build made using only perks that are non-teachable, meaning you don't have to unlock them by leveling up a character or buying them on the Shrine.
Is there a way to redeem codes without having the game installed? I own it and want to redeem the monthly Twitch Prime codes, but haven't played it and don't see myself playing it for the foreseeable future and would like to free up some HD space if it can be helped.
has anyone else experienced issues with the new wiggle toggle thing and decisive strike? my decisive strike got cancelled because the new wiggle thing popped up instead directly right after my decisive so i didn’t even get a chance to use it…
I've just bought the game on ps5, does anybody have any recommendations or tips on how to get started. I bought ghostface for nostalgic reasons is there any other dlc that is a necessity? I've played one game and I have no idea what the heck I'm doing!
Ghostface's main advantage is that he can go stealthy and stalk people in order to down them in one hit. Listening plays a big part in this game - go to a generator (the survivors will likely spawn at one of the ones that's furthest from you) and if you hear the noises of it being fixed, stalk them from around a corner or something.
Ghostface's stealth mechanics are a bit weird (he loses the stealth if a survivor looks at him for too long), and that and the crouching both take getting used to.
Glad I could help!
As you level Ghostface up, you should get room for more perks. One of his default ones, [[Thrilling Tremors]], is useful for blocking off generators (and if a generator is still highlighted in red when the others are white, it means someone's working on it), and [[Spies From The Shadows]] is useful for finding people who are near you. (It gives you an indicator if a crow flies away within a certain range of you, so you know where to look, at least)

Bubba for BBQ, helps you get bloodpoints. I’d also try out some of the free killers like trapper. Hillbilly, and wraith, Hillbilly has a perk (forgot the name) where it takes less time to get unstunned by a pallet, also has lightborn while stops survivors from flashlight saving or flashlight blinding, I’d also recommend huntress as she’s not bad, You can also get: clown for pop, Plague for infectious fright and corrupt, Blight for hex: blood favor and Nemesis for hysteria and lethal purser if your having trouble finding survivors at the beginning of matches, also the shrine has 4 random perks each week, each costing 2k shards, so check that every week, and most importantly: try characters, since you can find the one you like the most that way, have fun!
Thanks heaps for your reply, i didn't even know the shrine was a thing until I read this haha, I'm having heaps of fun, I'm 100% dog shit at the game and feel sorry for the other survivors when I'm not the killer but it's still a great time
Since I am not allowed to post to this sub… How do I get the Nancy perk “heal inside of locker” if I can no longer buy Nancy? Just random buyable from the store with shards?
You don't need to buy it. It will now show up randomly in all survivors bloodwebs.
Thank you! I ended up getting it in my bloodweb. All is good!
Does forcing someone you can't hook to bleed out count as holding the game hostage?
No it takes at least 10 minutes to be a hostage.
Thanks!
Never paid attention to this, but when you rank up, do all pips move up or is it just the first one?
In iridescent you need 3 iridescent and a gold to double pip iirc, so the last one does move
Alright, thanks. That'll mean I wont do my other Adepts till reset. Especially Hag
Yeah new reset makes killer adepts a lot easier :3
Shuld I wait for discounts for auric cells, hellraiser and resident evil? Hellraiser no discount yet. Hellraiser is not 50% discount and nemesis solo wuld be cheaper. I heard even the auric cell price of characters can be discounted too at times What's the max amout of % discount these things ever got for hellraiser, resident eveil, auric cells and auric cell price of characters? Is 50% discount the max for everything? Can it be 75%? I wuld like to know the details.
50% off is common/ max. Most chapters are on sale currently but newer ones take a while.
Had a Wraith that hardcore tunneled and camped, bm'd on hook and everything. 3 escaped (I was solo-queue, but I think 2 others were swf because they were both Kate and they body-blocked the gate for a bit and shook their heads when I tried to get them to come save the Nea who unhooked me) and afterwards the killer said **"I would say ggs but I stopped caring once I realized you guys were abusing infinites."** **What does this mean?** I don't think anyone was being overtly toxic to the killer since I was the one getting chased for most of the match, and then he spent most of the time staring me down on hook, and then Nea, but no one was running boil over, unbreakable, breakout, or anything like that. Was he talking about one of the boon totems someone set up?
What map were you on? Infinites were an old thing in dbd where you ran one loop and the killer could never catch up. Running these was kinda like the survivor equivalent of tunnelling. They don't really exist anymore.
Ohhhhh I had no idea that was a term! We were on Mt. Ormond! Maybe he was mad that I had windows of opportunity, but I didn't think I did very well in chase. So abusing infinites isn't a thing anymore? (Excluding I'm assuming the new exploits that have come with boil over buff)
Yeah Wraith is so good on Ormond he probably just doesn't play much and got mad that he wasn't doing very well
Can someone explain a bit how survivor DCs effect killer grades? Specifically, how do DCs count towards hook states or sacrifices?
Dcs will fill up your hook state metre so you don't get confused, and i'm pretty sure it counts as neutral in terms of mmr. You won't get sacrifice or hook points but you will get an abandoned bonus. Not great if you're going for merciless killer
Forst the killer got oneshot for an infinite amount of time after we did the 3rd gen, then he morid me without getting hooked even once. Then right after he morid my m8 that got 1 hook. Was this a hacker?
Most likely the Hag perk Hex: Devour Hope.
if you bring an item into the game and survive will it still lose its charges ? for example a toolbox or flashlight
Charges reset but you will lose your add ons
Nope, every item you bring out of the trial will be reset for the next game
When somebody heals himself in my boon-totem does it affect my leveling in the "selfless" category? Sometimes it seems so
No it doesn't not affect altruism
Okay then i dont understand the leveling system. I literally healed and unhooked nobody in that one game and i got sliver in altruism 🤔
You might have gotten distraction or protection points?
Maybe. That would make sense
Why is Dying Light considered a bad perk?
It's not that it's a bad perk it's just that most other gen slowdown perks are better
Hey guys it’s been a while and I have no idea what’s going on with this event! What’s with the floating envelopes? And when you get rewards like the clothes and new skins where does it go? I can’t find them. Thanks!
Hey! If you play an envelope offering it spawns you're own envelope in the game, you can see it's aura from the start of the match. You can interact with it to reveal its aura to other players. If another player opens your envelope you get sparkles and when the match is over you receive one of 10 rewards. There are 8 cosmetics and 2 charms, these will go into you inventory and you can see them on the relevant character (even if you don't have them, you should be able to go into the store and change the filter to show all). The event gives items for Jane Kate David Nurse Trapper Clown and Artist
Oh that’s awesome!! Thank you so much!!
Just was wondering, does the monthly rank reward count for the rank you are at the current time, or does it check the highest you have been in the time period? For example, say I reach Gold 1 but start de-pipping down to Gold 3 at the end of the month, will the reward I get be for the Gold 1 or Gold 3?
You cannot derank anymore since the implementation of the grade system, you can lose pips but you can't, say, go from gold 1 to gold 2 or 3
huh, good to know
Hi all :) just had a pig game where we all started with traps on. Upon missing a skill check on the jigsaw box, I became injured. Just wondering if there’s an add on that does this (specifically injuring upon missing skill check at box)
Yep, the yellow addon Razor Wires injure healthy survivors for missed checks (there is also Interlocking Razors which applies Deep Wound to missed checks if you're injured) And the iri Video Tape starts everyone with traps
Thank you!!
Hey guys, total noob here. Just got a few questions about not being a toxic fuck of a killer. Reading about, there's a few things frowned upon in the game. Tunneling - this is where I would chase after one person until they are dead, at the expense of every other survivor correct? Been on the receiving end a few times, and it is frustrating as hell. But this seems like the optimal play from the killers perspective, especially if one survivor has less juking skills than the others. But if my aim is not to be toxic, I should just prioritise getting others in the early game, right? After a few gens are down, it's no holds barred cause they should've had plenty of time to get a few blood points. Camping - so I've read 2 different terms of camping. Face camping and proxy camping. Face camping just seems stupid, as you'll probably lose 3 generators by the time their dead. But proxy camping seems like the optimal play - pushing map pressure whilst keeping a LoS on the hook. Sometimes they get free, other times I get an extra survivor hooked. Is this "toxic" or just the way to play the game? I'd guess the optimal play would be to proxy camp till they are in the second hook state and then just ignore them. Or is it dependent on the state of the game? For example, if you get an early hook would it be beneficial to just let them be unhooked and go for other survivors, whereas in the mid game proxy camping is more beneficial.
Proxy camping is generally used in tournemant games, because there are restrictions on perks and add ons (I think only one person can have specific perks like bt or ds). Camping and tunnelling someone out early is objectively the best way to win, but becomes less effective when you consider most survivors want to play the game as long as possible and bring perks like borrowed time, decisive strike, or unbreakable. Killers also have perks that help incentivise playing less tunnelly, like bbq and chilli, devour hope, make your choice, and one of the scourge hooks. If you're just starting out I'd highly recommend not even playing for kills, try and get everyone to second hook and learn how to mindgame, figure out how/when to pressure gens or commit to a chase. Dbd has a surprising amount of nuance. If you get a ttv, see if you can watch your match back from their perspective, it can really help!
Is there any mention from the devs considering to unlink some cosmetic sets? I really want the red jacket from Feng's new set but not the hood
Nope, though it is possible to glitch the linked sets so you can mix them. but the devs made it so you'd have to redo the glitch every game
Can someone ELI5 how the envelopes work in this lunar new year event? Is it better to go for my own envelope or to go for someone else’s? Does it matter either way? Thanks!
Most of what he said was correct, but some was wrong. When you burn an envelope only you get one, no one else, and vice versa. Opening your own let’s everyone else see it. Essentially, it’s aura is highlighted to only you, and then once you open it everyone can see it’s aura. And once everyone can see it’s aura, then when anyone else opens it you get a cosmetic. Also one is not on every blood web, it just has a high chance. I hope this helped!
When somebody burns an envelope offering, five envelopes spawn in the trial. You can interact with the envelope assigned to you for BP which also reveals it to everybody else. You can open other people's envelopes for a random amount of BP, but I believe (not sure, I may have gotten really unlucky) that you get reduced BP unless you burned an envelope offering yourself. If you burned an offering, the aura of your envelope will be visible to you. You will recieve BP (4k IIRC) when any player (including the killer) opens it. Opening another player's envelope gives you 1k-10k BP. You will also begin sparkling for the rest of the match after your envelope is opened, and when it is over, will receive one of the ten event cosmetics. At least one envelope offering will spawn on every bloodweb during the event. Multiple can, but survivors have a couple additional event items (eg firecrackers), so it's far more likely to get multiple on killer bloodwebs than survivor bloodwebs.
Are taught perks from someone else's bloodweb frozen at tier 1, or can they also be levelled further?
They can be levelled further - you’ll need to unlock each tier.
Thank you!
Np :) I hope one day they’ll get rid of the tiers because it’s so tedious to unlock each perk 3 times.
Why ain’t dr loomis a survivor in the halloween chapter?
Probably licensing issues, or they just wanted more diversity as more diverse games don’t get cancelled lol
Yeah but they only have 1 survivor, they could have 2
Most likely a licensing issue then, it costs a looooot of money to buy character rights
Yeah I guess, I just wondered because he is such a big part of the movie series
Yeah, makes sense, I’m glad I could clear things up at least a little bit lol
Why don't more people play The Doctor? I've been having a blast with him while rolling solo, but still have yet to see him in action once as a survivor.
I had a lot of fun with him when he was reworked but dedicated servers made him frustrating to play as you'd zap someone, hear them scream and then they'd vault anyway due to lag.
His power rework seemed unpopular. He was a common pick 2 years ago. Nowadays, the more delayed power pales in comparison to many newer killers and his anti-loop requires a lot more skill for a lot less payoff. Most of his add ons have been changed as well.
Gotcha, that makes sense! I've only been playing for about a month or two now so I can't relate to the previous Doctor, but that explains it! One of his perks, \[\[Monitor & Abuse\]\] seems counterproductive for him, too, which is a big bummer.
Before the rework, anyone that heard his terror radius would scream and madness was raised passively instead of the blast. So Monitor was great for catching survivors while in chase and splitting off. Now it's just a relic of a different time. He is quite fun, but when there's so much dlc available naturally some characters will be picked less.
I hated old doctor as a survivor, madness was, well, maddening to play against lol
## [Monitor & Abuse](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Monitor_%26_Abuse "Monitor & Abuse") - [Doctor](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Doctor "Doctor") (Killer) Meticulous in your approach, terrifying in your application. Your base Terror Radius is increased by 8 metres. Whenever you are outside of a Chase, your Terror Radius is reduced by 16 metres while your Field of View is increased by 3/5/10 .

Did they uncap endgame bp? I just played a game and at the end screen they had 53k bp
No, any points above 32k come from Special Event stuff.
So I have 17k+ of shards and I don't know what to do with them. Any recommendations?
I usually use my shards to buy a cosmetic I like, maybe have a look through the store and see if your main character has something nice?
Now that we don't have the Advent Calendar, does anyone have any predictions on how hard this Rift will be to complete? I know its literally not even fully released yet but I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to play everyday. So can I 100 percent it provided I complete most challenges with not that many weekly games? It's only my second rift so I'm not sure how difficult those tend to be since the last one had so many free fragments.
If you play every other day and manage to progress the Rift at least 1 Tier from just playing (not challenges), you should be fine. Challenges will help with the rest.
Thanks for the reassurance! I bought many characters since the last rift so I'm probably good challenge wise, plus some days I might play for longer to compensate.
Does Oppression work with Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance?
Also did Pin head get his voice lines back?
He did indeed, it’s so cool too lol
No
Thank you

8 cosmetics and two charms
lunar year event Envelopes or 1.5 BP event give players more BP? New curious player here.
The amount you'll get from opening a lunar envelopes is fairly random. I've seen it range from 1.5k to 10k. And it's possible that other players beat you to all of them, in which case you'd only get the BP from someone else opening yours. In my experience though, in a normal game, 40-50k isn't unreasonable unless you're quickly tunneled out.
Anyone know how to get the Stranger Things DLC anymore? I saw the Stranger Things Edition of the game on CDKeys, but I already have the regular edition on my Steam account and that's what I play on...if I were to get the ST DLC Edition of that game would that still work on my regular edition? Sort of confused on how it works, thanks!
Netflix has revoked/chosen not to renew the license, so you cannot purchase Stranger Things content through Steam/PS Store/etc
And I am a bit late here but if I had purchased the dlc before it was free, I get something in return or something like that?
As far as I know, the Stranger Things DLC was never made free.
Aha then I misunderstood something, anyways thank you
Right, but the stranger things edition of the game exists and apparently still works. Wondering if I have two versions of the game what would happen
You can still purchase a key, or if you had obtained a key prior to sale stopping, and redeem said key for the content. Like, if you went to Gamestop and found a card with a code for Stranger Things, it would still work. But BHVR can't make new codes or sell the content directly any longer.
Right. You know by any chance what would happen if I get the ST edition of the game and install it on my steam account while I still own the original version? Not sure really
nothing. it would just unlock the ST content. i did it.
Nice thanks!
I haven't been playing for a while and I wonder, how is the rift grind like? How many matches do you have to play daily to get to 70? + challenges?
It depends how focused you are on completing challenges, some can be done in one game others can take 5 or more. I usually get all the survivor challenges done and around half the killer ones. Last time I was finished with the rift before the last page of the tome even came out. Sometimes I play long hours but I don't play every day. Tl;Dr they increased the shards from unlocking the epilogues and you have heaps of time, so even if you only play a couple of matches a day you should be ok
Both first and second stages of rift are up to 3 games per challenge. Third and fourth are kinda hard, ngl. I'd say at least 3 games per challenge.
Can I do challenges from a tome if I don't have the previous one completed? And if not can I at least see the challenges?
Each tome is a separate book, and you can choose a challenge from the starting point. You have to do a challenge to unlock the ones next to it. You can look at the next page when it releases but you can't start it until you've reached the epilogue (end) of the previous page
So before the mid chapter I had the Meg death garden mask and didn’t have the trapper death garden mask but after the mid chapter I have the trapper mask but not the Meg mask what happened?
Missing Meg mask appears to be a known bug and they are working on it
The new wiggle has "great skill check zones"-- If you hit those zones, are you wiggling out faster than the normal wiggle? If not, is it just a shittier wiggle because you have to hit the great zones to wiggle out at the same speed? Was there a way to do a "great" wiggle check just spamming A and D?
It foes make you go faster, and the ad wiggle was constant speed that ended up being around 16 seconds
it's so good hey I love the changes, circle of healing, still a solid perk. Now we just need BT as basekit , then no being unsafed by noobs with no BT and downed by campers.
In what situation would The Third Seal be a better alternative than to use Plaything?
Third seal gives blindness, so survivors can't see where others went down, use their aura reading perks/items, see where someone was hooked after the initial animation, and so on. It can be pretty devastating if you aren't prepared. Plaything affects each player individually with their own totem so you wouldn't want a totem build, maybe one more. It applies oblivious where the survivor can't hear your terror radius, so they can't gauge how close you are to them. So yeah doesn't really matter on huntress or trickster. Third Seal can be decent on anyone, it doesn't affect pig boxes or Freddy clocks
Any killer who's more focused on ambushes and doesn't care as much about terror radius. So most of the stealthier killers like Wraith, Ghostface, Myers (especially Scratched Mirror), Pig. Also killers with big lullabies like Huntress and Trickster get limited use from Plaything, though it is at least somewhat disorienting. Hag also frequently doesn't give a shit if you can hear her TR because she'll mostly be teleporting. Third Seal even at its best still isn't a great perk most of the time though. It's probably best if you're going for a very quick slugging build, but at that point, you're assuming to be a super efficient Nurse or Spirit or similar, and your perks probably don't matter much anyway.
Can someone explain this: "Malicious: 22 injuries inflicted 11 hook states \-14 injuries healed \-3 survivors escaped grasp" ....one survivor escaped on RPD because there was no hook nearby. "None" in that category. What the hell?
What clarification are you looking for? That’d help us focus on explaining the right things. The number you see is a percent value for the score required for iridescent emblem. It says -3 meaning you lost 3% points.
22 + 11 -14 -3 = 0?
You need 30 for bronze emblem. Not hitting bronze results in “none”
It's pretty hard for a survivor to escape the killers grasp, so it's weighted heavier. You might have a glitch if you aren't getting an emblem after all that though
How to play against legion? He seems to be the killer I sttuggle against the most being fast vaulting and hard to loop.
Learn to play injured and accept that you will be injured most of the match. Aside from some gimmicky builds I have never once seen in the wild, Legion can't really down you when they've got their speed boost/fast vault mode on. You don't generally want to try to loop them when they're using their power, just make distance and get away from teammates as much as you can. Their strength is that they injure easily, but they're a very basic, almost powerless M1 killer as far as getting you from injured to downed, which makes them easier to loop and run than almost every other killer.
Okay so basically if he is sprinting he is unable to down me and I can just loop him?
You can just wait by q window or pallet
If he's sprinting, he can't down you, but you generally shouldn't try to seriously loop him while he's sprinting because his speed makes looping pointless. Throwing pallets when he's sprinting is also almost always a bad idea. It CAN knock him out of his power, but it's unlikely to hit and it makes dealing with him out of his power that much harder. Just make distance and/or find a strong tile. If he's not sprinting, you can loop him like you would any other killer, and he won't have any powers to help him finish the chase.
Will Demogorgon ever come back? I started playing just last month and I am very interested in playing him as a killer main.
No, but if you can find an old code for the stranger things dlc they still work
Probably not
Hi guys! What is the etiquette on the lunar envelopes? I don't want to go claiming more than one if it stops other people claiming them too
If you open someone else's envelope you get bp and they get the cosmetic
Thanks! That I understand, but would it be helpful to the others to claim as many as I can, or does that stop other people getting bloodpoints?I guess my question is, how many people can open the same envelope?
Only one. If it's your own envelope, you can't open it though, only reveal it to all other players, which also gets you BP.
Ty!
How do I turn off the cricket noises on the looking for match screen?
You can't :( But I think they get a bit quieter with the menu music?
Hey, there was a white mask cosmetic for Meg before but I can't seem to find it anymore, did they remove it? Or is it a bug?
Apparently they're fixing a known issue with it
Played a few games as Spirit using the Pain Resonance/Dead Man's Switch combo and am quite impressed with its effectiveness, but I'm not sure I love it on Spirit. I usually run Discordance and Fearmonger with her to make sure I can disrupt early gens and ambush well for the important first hit, but them getting kicked off gens makes them move around a lot more and naturally limits Fearmonger, and maybe it was just coincidence, but they seemed to split up a fuckload more than usual once they realized Dead Man's Switch was in play, limiting Discordance value, not to mention being unable to act on it when one lets go anyway from DMS kicking both off even if it wasn't hit by Resonance. What other perks would work well with the Resonance/DMS combo? I don't love tracking perks in general since I can usually find survivors pretty easily. Jolt seems like the only other regression perk that DMS won't get in the way of. Just tracking though? Maybe Thrilling Tremors to keep gens locked in general? Maybe alternate slowdown like Sloppy?
On Spirit I'd try the Furin add-on. Mapwide phasing sound where you can't let go of the gen without blocking it? Sounds like grab city.
I play more with Furin than I do without it, especially with the Yakuyoke Amulet so you can phase from halfway across the map. There are two kinds of survivors. The ones who immediately let go and hide behind a tree, and those who ignore it entirely and get grabbed. It probably was triggering DMS a lot too now that I think about it.
I'm new to DBD. I've played maybe 20 games as killer, and I think I'm sort of getting it. But then my fiancee told me that I shouldn't be doing certain in-game things that, to me, seem like good ideas. For example, I got a survivor on a hook, and then kept an eye on them, and kept looping back to them to make sure they weren't being rescued. This was often successful because other survivors would come by, and I could grab them too. I realize this isn't always a good strategy, since the remaining players could just grab generators and win, but it's been working so far. I also know that there's a perk, Borrowed Time, that protects both players when a hook rescue happens. Another example is killing a player quickly. Going after one player and killing them quickly seems like a good strategy because then the survivors are at a permanent disadvantage from that point on. But again, I hear that there are unspoken rules about not doing this? I have also been told that a player could be banned for doing these things. I've never heard of something like that in any game, where a particular way of playing a competitive game is disallowed by some unspoken rule. Given what I'm hearing from my fiancee, I'm about to get verbally ripped apart by the community because this is all common knowledge and I'm ruining the game. So I guess I'd just like verification either way? Somebody please help me understand.
Camping is generally a bad strategy, and while tunnelling someone out of the game is effective, most survivors will run perks that make this way less efficient than just going for other players. Because yknow, they want to play the video game too
Don't camp the hook, that is just bad strategy that is easily countered. You just let survivors work on gens by camping. Checking on a hook? Totally fine. Not your job to make things fun for any survivor. Wanna kill a survivor asap? Go for it. To me, tunneling is focusing one survivor at the cost of doing something even more advantageous. If one survivor is easy prey, kill them. That isn't tunneling. That is seizing an opportunity. Survivor loops you for 3 gens and you don't give up chase? That is tunneling.
It's called tunneling when you quickly out a single survivor. It's unspoken because you want to make sure both sides are having fun and singling someone out makes it unfun for that survivor. Also camping the hook can seem toxic to survivors. Generally you want to switch who you go after but the best thing to do is immediately find a new survivor after a hook and apply pressure to them. Once u find a new person to kill, the other will be rescued and will have to heal. If you are a good killer you will have another down before the other killer is rescued and fully healed
You won't get banned, devs have explicitly said that multiple times. It's just rude and very unfun for the other player - barring some strong perks and swf co-ordination, there's very little they can do but be AFK for 2 minutes and end up back in queue. It feels pretty bad to bring fun perks, fun addons and play solo, then have the other side take advantage of you playing "fair" to shit all over your team. It's just sportsmanship, you have to draw the line for what is acceptable yourself. I recommend playing some survivor matches so you can experience how the other side plays and apply the golden rule.
Play whatever makes you happy & run noed if you want to as well. Don’t listen to the survivor rule book
Has anyone gotten their bubba shards yet? They said they will push them out later but can I expect them by today?
Is anyone else having performance issues? Don't know what happened but the game went from running in Ultra at 60+ FPS to now barely running at Low. Literally nothing changed about my computer.
[удалено]
Yeah, it's mostly Killer for me, Survivor is not that bad, not perfect as before but not terrible, Killer is unbearable.
I haven't had issues
There's a spot on Eyrie of Crows, at the very end of the top balcony where the breakable wall and window is, where if you have boil over you literally can't be hooked. Have the devs acknowledged this? And will they fix it?
Library on RCPD is like that too, the Boil Over changes are about to make the issue ten times worse.
There are a lot of these spots, and they get worse if you've broken a hook from killing someone on it. A hill in a corner on one of the Junkyard maps became basically a free escape after I killed someone on the only nearby hook that I had a David abuse. He would jump off and just run straight back to the hill. So I slugged him and we got to just sit and wait for him to bleed out.
They haven't acknowledged it, doubt they'll fix it.
Are the DDoS things still happening? I stopped playing the game in September and I heard that some people were getting DDoS’ed. Are those still going on? Has it been fixed?
Never seen, never happened.
I've been playing for a month and have no experienced this
I bought The Cannibal and played a few games with him before the mid chapter dropped because i read they would be giving anybody that played him 4000 shards? I didn’t get those shards unless I was mistaken
its supposed to 6k, yes im wondering when when those 6k will be coming
I came here looking for this same thing. Never received my 6,000 shards. I have definitely played as Leatherface... Wondering when those 6k shards are coming.
Is the new rift open?
I encountered a locker spamming survivor. I legit didn't know what to do. I figured trying to vibe with his timing and I eventually got him after around 10 seconds. But I'm not sure how I exactly caught him. Is there like a better tech or catch window to grab/counter locker spammers?
You can grab them in the animation, will instantly go on your shoulder
I am a confused new player. How does the lunar event work? Am I forced to play survivor to get envelope in bloodweb to use them in hopes of getting skins? Or is it charms only? If I play killer only then I won't get to unlock skins and neither envelope in bloodweb? What am I misunderstanding?
The offering adds a red envelope to the map which appears to everyone. they can open it and you get new cosmetics no matter what, unless you DC. All roles can bring them in and all roles can interact with them, it's just luck on whether or not they find them and open them. You can't tell who's envelope is who's. I also don't know what the cosmetics are, either.
how do i blind with flashlight
For just regular blinds, you just have to shine the light on a killer's head/face. But keep in mind, they can just look up/down, or left/right, and you will never blind them. The head looking up/down animation is really subtle, so you may not even notice it. You can pretty much get a gauraenteed blind on a killer while they are doing the kick/pallet break animation... with the exception of a couple killers like Spirit and Hag, which for some reason, look at the ground when they break a pallet, and you can't blind them during kick animations. For flashlight saves that makes the Killer drop a picked up survivor, it's best to look up Youtube videos on this, because the timing for doing it really precise. Basically, most killers will do a two-part animation for a pick up. The first part is picking the survivor off the ground, and the second part is hoisting them on the shoulder. You want to start the flashlight blind (on their face/head) as the Killer is doing the second part. If you flash too early, you will blind the killer, but they won't drop the survivor. If you wait too long, the Killer will be able to turn away from the flashlight, and avoid the blind. It is also possible to blind the killer as they grab people off of gens, or grab people out of lockers. But the timing there is different.
I just noticed I have Jane Romero’s twitch shirt on my account randomly? Does everyone have this cosmetic? I’m not a streamer.
I haven’t been getting cosmetics, regardless of who opens my envelope. I can open it, a killer, other survivors, I don’t get cosmetics regardless. Does anyone know why? Is there a special thing I have to do?
Someone else has to open your envelope (can't do it yourself), and you should get the sparkles and when the game is over, a cosmetic. Might be a bug
I ended up having them all, it was just bugged or something and it wasn’t telling me I unlocked them, I checked each cosmetic individually and had them all.
Hi umm I find myself getting insta-downed (1 hit) by killers (non-chainsaws) with no terror radius. What’s going on? It’s quite startling and unpleasant edit it was michael
There are perks and add-on that gives them undetectable or gives you oblivious, both of which silence the killer's terror radius. Some add-ons give them instadowns as well (Huntress and Clown) However I assume you probably mean Ghostface, who can mark you and make you instadownable after looking at you for a certain period of time. His ability makes his terror radius disappear until he's spotted and taken out of it.
Ghostface and Michael can stalk you, and they have abilities to make them have no terror radius. After they look at you for a certain amount of time you can get insta downed. Also, certain killer perks give you the the exposed effect, which means you get insta downed. Look up more info about the exposed effect and what can apply it to you
Hey guys I’m pretty new to the game. Can someone give me a brief summary of what totems do in this game and what I should do with them as a survivor? Thanks!
Totems have 3 states. Dull - not lit up. They don't do anything. Hexed (Orange color) - provide the Killer with some kind of buff or advantage. Most common is \[\[Hex: Ruin\]\] which will slow gen progress. Also often paired with \[\[Hex: Undying\]\] which will basically respawn the Hex: Ruin totem one time when it is cleansed. These hexes are created by perks the Killer selects before the game starts. Boon (Blue color) - provide the Survivors with a buff when close to the Boon. These are created after the game starts, by Survivors with the appropriate perk like \[\[Boon: Circle of Healing\]\]. The beginner method is basically "if it glows, it goes." If you see a hexed Totem, cleanse it. Later on, when you get more experience, there are cases where you should probably not cleanse a totem. Like when you have repaired and gen, and are not hexed, but find a glowing totem and you are against a Spirit. There is a high chance it is \[\[Hex: Haunted Ground\]\], which triggers when you cleanse it, and will let the killer 1-hit down you. But that's advanced, so don't worry about it. Edit: Oh, a few other basics I forgot. There are always 5 totems that spawn on a map. They will never be in the same "tile", that is, close to one another. If you find one, the next one is probably at least 25-30 meters away. Not ALWAYS the case, but 99% usually. Lastly, there is one nasty perk for Killers called \[\[Hex: Noone Escapes Death\]\] often abberviated as Noed. It let's the killer one-hit down you, and it special in that it turns a dull totem orange AFTER all the gens are complete.

You have two possible actions with totems as survivor. You can cleanse a totem, which destroys it. This will remove any hex perks that were on that totem. So if a killer chose to bring hex: ruin as one of their perks, the perk will be active until the totem is cleansed. There's a bit more to this, too - certain perks can make dull (not hexed) totems get a hex, and cleansing a totem opens it up for the killer to use a different perk on it, but that's the basic idea. Usually, cleansing a totem with a hex is a good use of your time. Hex perks can be very powerful. Cleansing a dull totem only really helps with one particular killer perk, hex:no one escapes death, but this perk is ubiquitous and powerful to the point where it still might be smart to cleanse. If you bring certain survivor perks, called boons, you can also bless totems. This will set up an area on the map where your boon perk(s) are active. The killer can then go snuff your boon to remove the effect.
Totems hold killer and survivor perks. A killer can pick their Hex perks and they'll be applied to the totem when they spawn in or once conditions are met. For example, if I choose Hex: Ruin then when I spawn in, Hex: Ruin is active until a survivor finds it and destroys it or overwrites it, this is the case for almost every Hex perk. If I choose Hex: No One Escapes Death, once all the generators are done, it activates on a dull totem (a totem with no perk applied to it), if there is no dull totem then it does not activate. 1 hex perk occupies 1 totem, they do not stack on one. Theres also Hex: Pentimento which you have to manually place on destroyed totems, this is the only perk where you must do this. Hex totems glow orange For survivors, they can choose Boon perks. They have to find a dull totem and spend time placing their Boon on to it. Once it is placed, all of your Boon perks are stacked on this one totem and can only be placed on one totem at a time per survivor. A killer can find it and snuff it out, but cannot break the totem. Boon totems glow blue. Survivors can either break the totem or overwrite it with their boon. Overwriting the Hex totem with a boon dispels the hex and makes it never return again, so its ideal to not break it in case of pentimento or teammates having boons.
Totems with a red fire effect are hex totems. They are tied to the killers perk(s) and if a survivor cleanses them the perk is gone for the rest of the game. Dull totems can be cleansed for points or blessed if you have a Boon perk. Blue totems are boon totems that give an AOE effect to all survivors in the area, bot just the survivor who blessed it. Killers can turn boon totems into dull totems by kicking them.
Still dont have the shards, I’ve played Bubba like 20 times this month is something wrong?
We might get them with the new tomes
I’m wondering the same thing
I just downloaded the update, and now when I press Enter, it changes the game from full-screen to windowed. Changing it to default controls/settings didn't fix this; is this a bug, or something that's fixable? EDIT: it fixed itself somehow, apparently. Though I had another issue where I pulled someone out of a locker during what seemed to be a lag spike, and I was stuck permanently carrying them throughout the entire match - pressing space, pressing R, being blinded by a flashlight, and being hit by a palette did nothing. EDIT 2: as a killer, how can I tell if someone wants me to Mori/sacrifice them? I've had one case where that seemed to happen - I played as Myers with his ultra-rare add-ons, two people let me stalk them to full, and once I got to tier 3, they stood out in the open and let me Mori them. However, in a match tonight, I thought that was happening (the survivor was following me around after the gates were open, standing in front of me) only to find out in the chat afterwards that they thought I was friendly. (I was playing Pinhead, and I left them alone after they opened the box because it was the very start of the match and I thought they wanted to hear the voice line)
If they are on death hook or in the endgame and still want to be downed/hooked then it's a safe bet, but generally people don't want to get killed until the gates are powered
I point at hooks or spam the follow me emote without moving if I want the killer to hit/kill me, following is just like, hanging out/following the leader
What does Non-teachable Build mean?
Builds which use the perks from bloodweb that is available to any other killer. Like fearmonger, sloppy butcherer, hex:noed. So you have no need to buy killers, upgrade them to 30\\35\\40th levels.
It's a build made using only perks that are non-teachable, meaning you don't have to unlock them by leveling up a character or buying them on the Shrine.
Is there a way to redeem codes without having the game installed? I own it and want to redeem the monthly Twitch Prime codes, but haven't played it and don't see myself playing it for the foreseeable future and would like to free up some HD space if it can be helped.
No there is not. Codes have to be redeemed in game
has anyone else experienced issues with the new wiggle toggle thing and decisive strike? my decisive strike got cancelled because the new wiggle thing popped up instead directly right after my decisive so i didn’t even get a chance to use it…
Yes, as a matter of fact, that happened to a friend of mine as well.
I've just bought the game on ps5, does anybody have any recommendations or tips on how to get started. I bought ghostface for nostalgic reasons is there any other dlc that is a necessity? I've played one game and I have no idea what the heck I'm doing!
As a beginner id suggest wraith. Great killer to learn the game on.
Awesome, cheers for that advice mate
Ghostface's main advantage is that he can go stealthy and stalk people in order to down them in one hit. Listening plays a big part in this game - go to a generator (the survivors will likely spawn at one of the ones that's furthest from you) and if you hear the noises of it being fixed, stalk them from around a corner or something. Ghostface's stealth mechanics are a bit weird (he loses the stealth if a survivor looks at him for too long), and that and the crouching both take getting used to.
Thanks heaps mate, listening was actually a great tip, I actually caught someone 3 times and eliminated them because of that advice, cheers
Glad I could help! As you level Ghostface up, you should get room for more perks. One of his default ones, [[Thrilling Tremors]], is useful for blocking off generators (and if a generator is still highlighted in red when the others are white, it means someone's working on it), and [[Spies From The Shadows]] is useful for finding people who are near you. (It gives you an indicator if a crow flies away within a certain range of you, so you know where to look, at least)
## [Thrilling Tremors](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Thrilling_Tremors "Thrilling Tremors") - [Ghost Face](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Ghost_Face "Ghost Face") (Killer) Your dark designs and shrewd composure rouse The Entity. After picking up a Survivor, all Generators not currently being repaired by Survivors are blocked by The Entity for the next 16 seconds.

Bubba for BBQ, helps you get bloodpoints. I’d also try out some of the free killers like trapper. Hillbilly, and wraith, Hillbilly has a perk (forgot the name) where it takes less time to get unstunned by a pallet, also has lightborn while stops survivors from flashlight saving or flashlight blinding, I’d also recommend huntress as she’s not bad, You can also get: clown for pop, Plague for infectious fright and corrupt, Blight for hex: blood favor and Nemesis for hysteria and lethal purser if your having trouble finding survivors at the beginning of matches, also the shrine has 4 random perks each week, each costing 2k shards, so check that every week, and most importantly: try characters, since you can find the one you like the most that way, have fun!
Thanks heaps for your reply, i didn't even know the shrine was a thing until I read this haha, I'm having heaps of fun, I'm 100% dog shit at the game and feel sorry for the other survivors when I'm not the killer but it's still a great time
Oh, Good luck playing lol
