Event

  • The Haunted By Daylight event began Tuesday, October 13th.

The Void Tile from previous years is no longer accessible, however Void Portals and Void Haunts are present in all trials. Portals teleport to each other, and Void Haunts roam freely, hunting down Survivors to Hinder them.

  • Void Portals are paired up and always go back and forth to each other when used.
  • Players can open Void Rifts to create new pairs of Void Portals that remain open for the rest of the trial
  • Roaming Haunts slowly traverse the map, seeking out Survivors.

Killers and Survivors can collect Void Energy through various means in the trial, and spend it on Event Abilities.

  • Players no longer need to craft in the Void to gain Event Abilities. They can use Void Energy as soon as they have gathered enough to use an Ability.
  • Survivors can use Void Portals to gather lots of Void Energy at once, but risk the Killer being able to teleport directly to that Portal and jumpscare them.

Survivors start with Void Crystals, allowing them to drop Smoke Bombs or place the crystal on the Generator to repair it remotely. Killers can launch Void Haunts, and use Empowered Breaks to kick faster.

See the in-game Gameplay Details for more information.

Media Chat wheel and the ability to read teammates perks doesn't stop this from happening every match I try to use Deliverance

It's sooooo frustrating. We need the ability to announce what perks you have. It should be an option to say "I have ____!", and you click that chat option, then another wheel of your perks appears so you can call out what perks you have. It's very obvious not a lot of people actually hit tab to check perks, and frankly, it's a lot to remember. We need to be able to remind/tell our team directly what perks we're running.

Being 4.4 for a no "range-attack" killer, with easy way to counter trap is crazy, even without compare with stronger killer

With modern DBD, that will be great if huntress, slinger, trickster be 4.6 at least whenever they didn't reload (so they can't use their ability). That's the bare minimum for me.

Media An alternative to the "Clock" Callout system

Thumbnail

180 Upvotes

After witnessing many people discuss on Twitter how they struggled to grasp the "Clock System" that divides the map in 12 slices, I decided to make this image that describes a simpler system that perhaps might be helpful for players like them. You only need to mentally pinpoint the center of the map and every callout from there becomes very intuitive.

So apparently there's a badge if you have at least 6 cosmetics from FNAF

I already have two Springtrap skins and a taurie shirt

Wouldn't that count as 7 separate cosmetics? (1 full Springtrap skin is 3 cosmetics)

Am I missing something? Because I've seen people getting it with just 2 Springtrap skins

Question How would you feel with a passive aggressive SWF-mate?

25 Upvotes

I do apologize if this is not appropriate for the subreddit, please remove if so. I don't know where else to ask this because it takes some dbd knowledge but it's more an interpersonal issue.

Sometimes my boyfriend and I play with our friends, and what I find upsets me is I'm always happy to be with him if games go well or not, and he seems to have that attitude with our friends but he can get passive aggressive with me and it hurts. If I make a mistake, he will say "that might have cost us the game" or "that was unfortunate" or "cost us a gen" if I go down too quickly and they have a slowdown perk.

It hurts because he does this with me, but with our friends he always reassures them it's fine and cheers them up. I guess it hurts that I'm made to feel bad over the game :( does he not respect me as much or something?

Discussion Current Tier list+Thoughts

Post image
• Upvotes

I know most people are tired of tier list on this sub and in DBD discussion in general-but for a patch like this with recent bug fixes and new perks I want to give my thoughts on the new killer meta-or at least ā€œnewā€ as in one or two perk changes lol

S tier is pretty self explanatory-I actually don’t think Judgement is quite at the level of nurse and blight-but she along with hillbilly I think are closer than people think.

In A tier, I think Jason and Oni are the thresholds or gates to this level of tier-where you *need* some sort of map presence in form of mobility, control, or attacks to keep up with a good team. Ghoul, Singularity, and Twins are the most interchangeable as maps can *heavily* affect them more than the others on this tier, besides Hillbilly of course. I’ve seen some people deny Twins’ placement-but the Twins are absolutely A tier, considering your always slugging, there such little counter and victors admittedly broken leaping logic can make him one of the deadliest moves in the game. Also the only killer that you can technically *be* in two places at once.

Judgement should be better than Hillbilly, but I think maps come into heavy affect here-as long as it’s outdoors of course. Indoor maps (Engraving+Boots even) still don’t do him much favors even with those addons.

Micheal being so High in the B+ tier probably surprises some people, but I think he is genuinely one of the best chasers in the game-with the only lacking option he has being a consistent mobility option. Insta-downing as a whole, even if he needs to build up to it, is such a powerful tool in this game that many people don’t realize. Hound master/Portia is flexible enough and well rounded that I also believes she is a High B tier as well.

I think many people will be confused why I have Springtrap higher than Xeno and Unknown even though there so similar. This breaks down to The latters counterplay being *so* powerful along with limited abilities in their projectile/attacks. Simply put Turrets and staring down affect them way more than survivors gaining ability through the doors.

Krasue and Pyramid Head have fallen off in different ways. Krasue has suffered heavily through the dissolution nerf and more survivors figuring out her simple counterplay through bodyblocking and good mushroom usage. Her addons are very limited to help her as well. Pyramid Head on the other hand has just been powercrept to hell and back-while having 0 mobility in the modern game, somehow catching lacking changes on his addon pass.

The C tiers are the most ā€œbelow averageā€ killers that are affected by pallet density that hinder them severely. These killers have options-but limited options to outplay pallets or long chaining loops-even with good slowdown (pinhead and pig) it cant make up for their chases in my opinion.

Bubba I feel has improved greatly and many underestimate his buffs from a while ago-and his now much bigger addon variety. This on top of his good snowball potential puts him at the top of C tier.

D tier isn’t much to say besides the notorious trio-but I believe ghostface to be by far the worst here. His power is basically nonexistent in the higher MMR levels-here and there you will get good stalked value-but it can’t compare to Trappers actual snowball options. As well as Skull merchant actually forcing survivors to play around her drones.

Also I apologize if the image is low quality-I’m not sure if it is or not but it can come off odd.

I found out, if you put a crystal on top of a gen it will not be affected by gen-blocking perks. The gen got finished while blocked.

I get it its not how the game goes but sometimes I just wanna vibe and just scare rather than the same loop of chase and hook chase and hook. And that seems to get under a lot of people's skin for some reason.
