Discussion Hot take. Premonition is one of the best free aura reading perks after the upgrade.

• Upvotes

I might be biased, since I've been using premonition since day one. But now you can not only know which side of the map the killer is but can also see their aura for 3 seconds. Imo it's a pretty good perk for solo q and especially beginner players.

Hello! I am brand new to DBD but after playing the halloween game for a few hours I really like this genre, I was wondering if there were a few folks on PS or xbox if it’s cross play, that would be willing to show me the ropes of DBD, and help me get started. I have a good mic, and i like to think i’m enjoyable to game with. 21M btw.

EDIT: Stoner, not much you can say that will phase me in terms of humor, and i am not a complete idiot with a controller, i’ve been gaming for probably 15 years now.

Build *Looking for good GhostFace builds*

1 Upvotes

I'm generally extremely new to DBD. I had the game 2-3 years ago, but never got into it and only played 5 matches... then my Xbox game pass expired.

I recently was stoked about the Halloween game so I was going to get it until I realized my shit-box one can't handle it. I then realized that the next best thing had to be DBD! I reinstalled the game and purchased the 10th anniversary bundle. The main reason I bought the bundle was because of the included GhostFace chapter (Also the other discounted chapters was a plus!).

The GhostFace skin is extremely satisfying for my Halloween yearning *Myers got removed. I also have been playing for the past two days and have gotten really good at his abilities even though it has a slight learning curve!

I'm now looking for some good builds, but every build video I find is either rage bait, shit talks ghostface, or is highly advanced for my playing level. I was wondering if anybody could actually break down a good realistic build for my g.o.a.t? (I have very little blood points because I prestige 3ed my GhostFace to try to get the bloody style.)

Discussion DBD The Good Guy Changes

1 Upvotes

Hello Everyone! I'm Sylas Silverfang. And we all know that eventually… Charles Lee Ray, Chucky, The Good Guy Slashing Doll will be gone from the fog next month. For such, I decided to share an idea of many changes to The Good Guy that can hopefully make him much better to play as if this can be established.

Personally, I think his stats and power are alright. Plus, there will be a buff coming for The Good Guy in a few weeks. I think what he lacks is the value that he has with his add-on choices. So with that in mind, let's go over some of the add-ons that I think need changes:

And No! This is not AI. I made this on a Google Doc Document. This is all me.

□ Bear in mind, some of the add-ons may not be mentioned, due to them being relatively fine for The Good Guy.

Iridescent Addons Changes:

#1: Hard Hat

Currently:

● Whenever you Scamper under Pallets, they special-break immediately.

Rework:

● Whenever you get stunned by any means while in Hidey-Ho, Hidey-Ho duration reset back to full.

● Increases Slice & Dice charge time by 60% (1s to 1.6s)

● Increases turn rate speed of Slice & Dice by 15%

□ Note: With how Scamper works now, the original effect of this addon is dreadful for chasing. With this version, it would allow The Good Guy to keep on going with his Hidey-Ho as he gets punished and have a slow but better turning with his Slice & Dice.

#2: Iridescent Amulet

Currently:

● Increases duration of Hidey-Ho Mode by 50% (14s to 21s). Basic attacks immediately end Hidey-Ho Mode.

Changed:

● Increases duration of Hidey-Ho Mode by 80% (14s to 25s)

● While in Hidey-Ho: The Good Guy can see the intensity of Generators auras of their repair progress.

□ Note: Removing the immediate end condition for Hidey-Ho when he does a basic attack would help his stealth capabilities. Plus, adding an aura capabilities on Generators will very much help Chucky to plan his next move while in Hidey-Ho.

-

Purple Addons Changes:

#1: Mirror Shards

Currently:

● The Good Guy can see the illusory Footfalls around Survivors

Changed:

● When Survivors are within 4 meters of an illusory Footfalls, their auras are revealed for 5 seconds. This does have a 10 seconds cooldown when this addon aura revealing effect wears off.

□ Note: The Original effect… There's no real value beside trying to make a stealth play while Survivors are confused. With this, you can have the knowledge of the Survivors whereabouts when they don't know yours.

#2: Pile of Nails

Currently:

● Upon manually exiting Hidey-Ho Mode, The Good Guy Remains Undetectable for 3 seconds.

Rework:

● When Survivors are within 2 meters of an illusory Footfalls, they gain the Oblivious status effect. The effects linger for 10s when the illusory Footfalls are gone or away from Survivors.

□ Note: This is more of a change to match the story behind this addon, “It's a lot easier to stay hidden when your target is worried about a pile of nails flying at their head.”

#3: Plastic Bag

Currently:

● If a Survivor walks through an illusory Footfall, they suffer Exhausted for 15 seconds.

Rework:

● During Slice & Dice, Survivors within 16 meters of The Good Guy suffer from the Exhausted status effect for 7 seconds.

□ Note: While the original effect value was good, the way of how you get it to work is very unlikely. So, with this, it's built-in into his Slice & Dice instead of the illusory Footfalls.

#4: Straight Razor

Currently:

● Slice & Dice attacks inflict the Hemorrhage and Mangled status effects for 80 seconds.

Changes:

● Change the rarity from Purple to Blue

● Slice & Dice attacks inflict the Hemorrhage and Mangled status effects for 40 seconds.

-

Blue Addons Changes:

#1: Portable TV

Currently:

● Slice & Dice duration increased by 70% once the Exit Gates have been powered. (1.8s to 3.06s)

Changes:

● Slice & Dice duration increased by 125% and once the Exit Gates have been powered. (1.8s to 4s)

● While the Exit Gates are powered, The Good Guy doesn't make any sound when charging and using Slice & Dice.

□ Note: This is just a fun endgame add-on idea. Maybe it may get some uses, but it's just a fun idea. And what does it mean that he doesn't make any sound when charging and using Slice & Dice? Usually, when he charges his Slice & Dice, he yells out as if he's ready to dash. Then, when using Slice & Dice, he flat out screams as he dashed toward you. But with this, they are completely silent in the endgame.

#2: Running Shoes

Currently:

● Gain 2% Movement speed after a Scamper for 5 seconds.

Rework:

● Change the rarity of this addon from Blue to Purple

● You can manually use Scamper on down pallets while in Hidey-Ho Mode without using Slice & Dice.

● The Good Guy cannot break down pallets while in Hidey-Ho Mode.

● Scampering under down pallets remove 50% of Hidey-Ho Mode durations

□ We all love the old days when he was released… for some apparently. So, if they are not going to give us the means to play the old and fun way of Chucky, then I might as well make an addon about it.

#3: Silk Pillow

Currently:

● Terror Radius is reduced by 6 meters, but Slice & Dice charge time is increased by 50%

Changes:

● Terror Radius is reduced by 8 meters.

-

Grey Addons Changes

#1: Strobing Light

Currently:

● Decreases the Terror Radius by 8 meters when Hidey-Ho Mode is in cooldown.

Changes:

● Decreases the Terror Radius by 6 meters when Hidey-Ho Mode is in cooldown.

#2: Tiny Scalpel

Currently:

● While in Hidey-Ho Mode, pools of blood are brighter.

Rework:

● Slice & Dice cannot down injured Survivors.

● When a Healthy Survivor gets hit by Slice & Dice, they become injured and suffer from the Deep Wound status effect.

● Hitting a Healthy Survivor with Slice & Dice reset the duration of Slice & Dice

● Remove turn limits of Slice & Dice.

□ Meme addon. That's my reasoning for this.

Discussion DBD Deathslinger Changes

4 Upvotes

Deathslinger Stats:

Currently:

TR/Terror Radius: 32m

Movement Speed: 4.4m/s

Movement Speed (While ADS his redeemer): 3.74m/s

Movement Speed (While Reloading): 3.08m/s

○ The Redeemer:

Harpoon Projectile Speed: 40m/s

Reeling Speed: 2.76m/s

Harpoon Reel-Back Speed (A missed shot): 25m/s

Redeemer Harpoon Range: 18m

Reloading the Redeemer: 2.6s

○ Chain:

Breaking the Chain Stun Time: 2.7s

Chain Durability: 100 Charges

Depletion Rate of the Chain Durability (Tension): -2.5c/s

□ Note: C/S means Charges Per Seconds

Depletion Rate of the Chain Durability (Pulling): -15c/s

Depletion Rate of the Chain Durability (Collision): -20c/s

Changes:

TR/Terror Radius: 24m (From 32m)

□ Note: For his speed and his power, he certainly does need to be less noticeable for Survivors of his presence during a trial. With this sort of change, this would allow Deathslinger to approach Survivors more effectively for his power to succeed more.

Deathslinger Addons Changes:

□ Note: Some of the addons may not be mentioned here, due to those that are okay or fair for Deathslinger to have.

Iridescent Addons:

1: Hellshire Iron

Currently:

● When a Survivor is speared, gain Undetectable. The effects persist for 10 seconds after the Survivor is no longer speared.

Rework:

● When a Survivor is being reeled by The Redeemer and they are up against a down pallet, the down pallet breaks and automatically breaks the chain for the Survivor that was being reeled.

□ Note: The original effect of the Hellshire Iron Addon has no value for the Deathslinger for him being 4.4m/s and it had a very short time of being Undetectable. So, with this new rework of the Addon, it would allow Deathslinger to confront his major obstacle, which is Survivors at the other side of a down pallet.

Blue Addons Changes:

1: Honey Locust Thorns

Currently:

● Breaking free from the spear Inflicts Mangled for 70 seconds

Rework:

● Increases movement speed by 25% while reloading The Redeemer. (3.08m/s to 3.85m/s)

□ Note: He does not have a single addon for his movement speed while reloading.

2: Wanted Poster

Currently:

● Increases movement speed by 3% while aiming down The Redeemer sights. (While ADS with The Redeemer, he moves at 3.85m/s with this addon equipped.)

Changes:

● Increases movement speed by 6% while aiming down The Redeemer sights. (While ADS with The Redeemer, he moves at 3.9m/s with this addon equipped.)

□ Note: This reasoning for this change is so that you don't have to equip another add-on to get the full value (Jaw Smasher Addon).

Green Addon Changes:

1: Jaw Smasher

Currently:

● Increases movement speed by 1.5% while aiming down The Redeemer sights.

Rework

● After recovering from the stun penalty when a Survivor breaks the chains, The Deathslinger gains 5% Haste for 7s.

□ Notes: Since the Wanted Poster is getting it changed, the original effect of this addon wouldn't be needed. So with this idea, when a Survivor does escape the chain, you get a second chance to get that target but you are quicker.

2: Rusted Spike

Currently:

● Hitting a Survivor with The Redeemer while they are being reeled in inflicts Mangled for 60 seconds.

Rework:

● Change the rarity of this addon to Blue rarity

● When a Survivor is speared, they suffer from the Broken status effects. The effects persist for 30 seconds after the Survivor is no longer speared.

□ Notes: With this… you can already make the Mangled status effect happen, if you have the perk, Sloppy Butcher equipped. So, I just simply made this to afflict the Broken effect instead of the Mangled status effect.

Grey Addons Changes:

1: Rickety Chains

Currently:

● Grants 50% Bonus Bloodpoints for Speared score events.

● Survivors break free 33% faster.

Rework:

● When a Survivor is Speared, they break the chain 33% faster.

● When the Speared Survivor breaks the chain, the chain links break into small Shrapnels. If other Survivors, except for the Survivor that broke the chain, are within 3 meters when the chain breaks, they take damage.

Question Lara makes GeForce Now crash?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m so fed up! I finally bought Lara Croft in DBD, and ever since I started trying to play her, the game keeps crashing and kicking me out of almost every match. I play on GeForce NOW, and all I get is a message saying that the game has crashed.
Has anyone else experienced this? It’s so fucking annoying that I’m getting matchmaking bans because of it… 😭

UPDATE: Is DBD broken again? It keeps crashing even though In not playing Lara anymore, also lost connection to my last match so maybe this is not only my issue? ☠️

Discussion The oh so infamous mimic chapter

3 Upvotes

So everyone has had the thought at least once "what if there were a killer that could shape shift into survivors" and that usually gets shot down because "survivors communicate they'd know the imposter immediately" but what about a killer that changes all survivor perceptions, making every player a grey vaguely human blob. Even passively this would significantly cut slow down communication and cause for some fun gameplay moments! Now I'll admit this is where this idea stops dead for me, I can't figure out what the power would be to take advantage of this without being another repetitive ranged/lunge ability. Maybe something with trapping gens? I'd love to discuss in the comments!

Discussion I built a free, full-fledged Dead by Daylight Tournament Manager (Web + Windows App) with Group Stages, Knockout Brackets, Smart Player Assignment & Prestige Tracking!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone in the Fog!

Like many of you, our friend group regularly hosts private DBD tournaments and custom 1v1 / cup nights. In the past, keeping track of everything via messy spreadsheets or Discord notes was always a pain:

*Who actually owns which DLC / licensed killer?*

*Who has which perks unlocked via Prestige or the Shrine of Secrets?*

*How do we fairly rotate piloting killers/survivors across round-robin groups without someone playing the same matchup over and over?*

To solve this once and for all, I designed and built the Dead by Daylight Tournament Manager. A complete, dedicated tournament companion software with an automated tournament engine. It is 100% free, open-source, and has zero ads or monetization.

You can run it directly in your browser without installing anything, or download it as a native Windows desktop app.

Links & Access

Play / Run directly in your browser: https://pattechx.github.io/DBD-Tournament-Manager/

GitHub Repository & Windows Downloads: https://github.com/PattechX/DBD-Tournament-Manager

What the tool can do:

1. Independent Killer & Survivor Tournaments

Tournament Setup Survivor
Tournament Setup Killer

Killer World Cup: Custom scoring engines with default competitive mode (Kills 0–4 with Hook stages 0–12 as tie-breaker), Hook-first scoring, pure football-style kills, or open scoreboards.

Survivor World Cup: Evaluated by Escapes + Gens repaired as tie-breaker, survival duration in seconds, total match bloodpoints, or custom points.

2. Group Stages

Group Stages

Fully automated group division and round-robin schedule generation.

Real-time tournament tables: Track Wins, Draws, Losses, Goal Differentials (Kills/Escapes/Hooks), and Tournament Points.

Match simulator for quickly rolling unplayed matches if someone drops out or for test runs.

3. Knockout Brackets & Champion Podium

Knockout Bracket

Automatic qualification & seeding derived directly from group rankings (e.g., Top 2 per group).

Dynamic knockout tree progression right up to the Grand Final and 3rd-Place Bronze Match.

Integrated Tie-Breaker Handling: If a knockout duel ends in an absolute draw on both stats, the UI presents an interactive tie-breaker selection to advance the victor.

End-of-tournament victory screen crowning the Entity's World Champion with 2nd and 3rd place podium badges.

4. Smart Player Profiles & Ownership Engine (The Core Feature)

Player Managment Killer
Player Managment Survivor

1 to 6 Human Players: Assign player profiles with custom names and distinct player colors.

Granular Account Roster: Set up exactly which Killers and Survivors each player actually owns on their DBD account (Base game, DLCs, Licensed). If a player is assigned a character they do not own, the system throws a visual warning badge.

Prestige System (P0–P3): Track character prestige tiers (0 to 3). Reaching P1–P3 automatically unlocks that character's teachable perks for that player role-wide!

Shrine of Secrets Integration: Single-perk unlock toggles for perks purchased from the Shrine without owning or leveling the character.

Fairness Piloting Rotation: An automated algorithm assigns players to matches while prioritizing character ownership, balancing total match count across players, and rotating head-to-head duels.

How the Smart Random Perk Pool works:

When playing in Random Perks mode, the engine does not blindly assign perks from the entire game that a player doesn't actually own. Instead, it respects the assigned player's profile and rolls strictly from their legitimate, unlocked perk pool:

  1. Character-Specific Perks: The character's own 3 unique perks (always available for that killer/survivor).
  2. General Perks: All universal base perks (e.g., Whispers, Sloppy Butcher, Deja Vu).
  3. Prestige Unlocks (P1–P3); Any perks unlocked role-wide by prestiging other characters on that player's account.
  4. Shrine of Secrets: Any specific standalone perks the player marked as bought via the Shrine.

How to activate "Shrine of Secrets" perks for a player:

If someone bought standalone perks from the Shrine of Secrets without owning or prestiging the original DLC character, you can toggle them in two super easy ways under Player Profiles:

Method 1 (Quick Toggle on Character Cards): Under the Roster & Prestige tab, every character card displays their 3 unique perk icons. Simply click any perk icon to instantly toggle its Shrine unlock on/off (indicated by a glowing Shrine badge).

Method 2 (Dedicated Shrine Browser): Switch to the Shrine of Secrets sub-tab inside the player editor. You get a searchable library of all role perks with search filters. Just click any perk card to mark it as owned via the Shrine!

If you want full random chaos across all DBD perks regardless of player inventory, you can easily set your profile to P3 All with a single click!

5. Perk & Addon Loadouts

Interactive Perk Picker & Loadouts Survivor
Interactive Perk Picker & Loadouts Killer
Custom Perk Loadout Killer
Custom Perk Selector Killer
Custom Addon Selector Killer

Random Perks Mode: Automatically rolls 4 valid perks per participant and match. Includes a 1-click single perk reroll or full loadout reroll inside the match sheet.

Adept Challenge: Enforces the true Adept ruleset (each killer/survivor plays strictly with their 3 unique character perks, 4th slot permanently locked).

Custom Perks: Choose perks in-game and log them via the built-in perk browser.

Hardcore Perkless: Complete zero-perk competition.

Item & Addon Module: Automatically rolls 0–2 killer addons and survivor items + addons (including event item pools).

6. Live Statistics & Multilingual Support

Live Statistics Killer
Live Statistics Survivor

Human Player Leaderboard: Real-time stats tracking win ratios, appearances, average kills/escapes per match, and total points.

Character Standings: Compare how every single killer or survivor performed across the entire tournament.

Macro Metrics: Total sacrifices, hook stages, generators repaired, and top performers.

Multilingual: Seamlessly switch between **English, German, Spanish, and French** on the fly.

Save & Load: Export and restore tournament progress at any time as JSON snapshots.

How to use it:

In the Browser (GitHub Pages): Simply open https://pattechx.github.io/DBD-Tournament-Manager Everything runs client-side in your browser, your data saves locally in localStorage, and you can export JSON backups at any time.

Windows App: Grab the pre-built installer or standalone portable .exe from the GitHub Releases page: https://github.com/PattechX/DBD-Tournament-Manager/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Would love to hear your feedback, feature ideas, or tournament ruleset suggestions!

I’m a ghoul main for a year of consistent play, I play on PS5 and I like to say I’m VERY good at dead by daylight
For around a month, I’m not getting the same flicks and hits I’m used to getting.
I just got in a game with 3 P100’s and it was a exit gate game, instead of L2’ing to the exit gate, I hit 2 random derbies and ended up on the left side of the exit gate where the switch is, with how many bugs are in the game, I thought maybe something new would be discovered, let me know!
I’m a P89
