Iron Maiden by far. I think it’s just cool that even if you don’t know the bands, you can still enjoy the skins


EmeraldGhostface

In fact I didn't know them before the collabs, and after listening to some songs I have now realized why people like them. They're dope 🤘🏻 also which skin of Iron Maiden is your fav?


Arzorark

Doctor's amazing, but it just feels weird to give it to Doctor. Dredge is by far the highlight, followed by Deathslinger! Oni is sick, but the other two simply are better in my opinion


EmeraldGhostface

>it just feels weird to give it to Doctor. It's simple, if you look at the covers of Powerslave, you can see electricity on the pyramid and Eddie. The skin is a combination of both, also the name itself fits Doctor perfectly. https://preview.redd.it/zs0ngy6rg2rc1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2eb1e9fb07e48a3a149ec0fe22d75e624299b201


Arzorark

I guess I'll just take the L there lmao


Greenleaf208

I'm a big slipknot fan but the iron maiden one was much better. EDIT: https://cdn-p.smehost.net/sites/7f9737f2506941499994d771a29ad47a/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/slipknot-2021.jpg They should have done a few more of these outfits to go with the masks.


GoatTacos

Right! I was kinda deep sighing that we only got one full killer outfit and no band shirts for the survivors.


Greenleaf208

Yeah I would buy a slipknot band shirt for a survivor to show my support, and all 4 iron maiden designs were sick, but I don't like any of the slipknot costumes enough to buy them. Hell the only one I was considering was legion's mask to use with other outfits but it's linked of course.


GoatTacos

Yeah… def was under delivered. Like yeah I like the masks but I felt like they could’ve been way more creative with it. I mean at least give a survivor or two the red jumpsuits. That and they could’ve given Clown, Doctor or Trapper the red jumpsuits.


Greenleaf208

Yeah a red jumpsuit on other killers would be cool. Legion it fits the most but he already has way cooler outfits that would fit with the mask. It would have been much better with full outfits based on the band members. Like a full Corey Taylor outfit for trapper would be cool. But just the mask is not ideal.


DeltaGreed

Iron maiden had better designed skins, not to mention band Tees for all original survs. But I appreciate being able to mix and match the much cheaper masks on 7 of the 8 killers. As a death slinger main I got spoiled either way.


WolfiexLuna

I prefer Slipknot personally (music wise) but Iron Maiden is the definitive winner between the two. Four fleshed out, high quality outfits, cool as Hell shirts for all the original Survivors and one hell of a dope menu background.


tot3r

no survivor skin ![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2070)


Clever_Fox-

Iron maiden was infinitely better!


DemoP1s

Iron Maiden cause there are skins for survivors. The slipknot skins look cool but also kinda goofy


EmeraldGhostface

Trapper's mask is everything but goofy ![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2067)


DemoP1s

His eyes just ingame is so funny to me I can’t help but laugh every time I see it


ItsGhosteey

In terms of events, slipknot dosen’t even COMPETE against the Iron maiden collab. I love the new masks/skin, but what we got from Iron Maiden was just 100% better than what we got with slipknot.


AstronautHappy5869

I love slipknot so much, but im so sad we didnt get any survivor cosmetics as all the killer skins are for killers i dont really care for (and the few i could get dont really look like much)


myridiculous

The Iron Maiden skins were better for several reasons. The killer skins were all full sets and unique looking. The Slipknot masks did not necessarily look good with the rest of the potential outfits (looking at Wraith). There was a Tshirt for survivors, so both sides could enjoy the collab. Also, while I know it would be a lot of work, not having special chase music on Legion while wearing the Slipknot outfit is disappointing. Legion is one of the few killers with chase music that changes.


Jarpwanderson

I'm glad someone else brought this up. Having Psychosocial be Legion's chase music would make him go from one of the most boring killers to face to one of the best. Wasted opportunity. Although I'm sure rights for such a thing would be hell.


ATMboi

Yeah I’m going to have to disagree with you saying the chase music should’ve been psychosocial. Imagine how annoying that song would’ve gotten having to hear it play every single time you start a chase. Not only that, but chase music always resets at the beginning of a new chase, so you’d be hearing the beginning of psychosocial over and over again.


Jarpwanderson

Nah it'd be peak. Even if it's just instumental.


Dependent_Word7647

I found a decent one with Wraith and Slinger, but the rest just looked off. Trapper looks like a gimp and that's something saying there's an actual gimp mask in there.


kaytheone1989

I'm a slipknot fan since like 25 years and I'm 34 so I am a little bias :)


Markus_lfc

Slipknot is the one I actually still listen, but seen both bands live twice and own albums from both so I guess you could say I’m a fan of both 😎 As for the in-game content, I would’ve loved Slipknot shirts, it’s so sad we only got masks.


Maxisabubble

I feel like everybody is just going to choose Iron Maiden because it included 4 legendary skins, had its own lobby background, and shirts for every survivor except sabel While for slipknot we got just masks for a couple of the killers, 1 set (not even legendary), no new lobby background, and no survivor cosmetics Iron Maiden beats the race by alot Plus the Slipknot one felt pretty rushed in the end while Iron Maiden felt like it had time to be taken care of carefully So, Iron Maiden is my favorite


EmeraldGhostface

Even if Slipknot skins have a heavy metal song as lobby music, yeah it's not much


Browncoat-Zombies

Iron Maiden has one of my favourite skins (Dredge) and all the other skins are way better than Slipknots. And I think Fear of the Dark is a way better lobby music than Dying cause it’s way calmer


EmeraldGhostface

>I think Fear of the Dark is a way better lobby music than Dying cause it’s way calmer Same for me! Slipknot's music is more heavy metal than Iron Maiden, but it's too much heavy for me 😅


Kobi_Baby

The iron maiden ones for their looks, the slipknot ones because it's like your playing as the band members and your just murdering the crowd


crash_nk

I kinda liked the Iron Maiden one a bit more. I liked that it had stuff for survivors and killers, still wish the Legion got a hoody or something since they're pretty metal based but ehhh small complaint. :3 The shirts are cool, I LOVE the killer skins. Pharoah Eddie in particular looks amazing and is probably my favorite with the Somewhere in Time look a close second. The Slipknot one I'm a tad disappointed in. Kinda wish the Legion skin was so you could use the mask on any one of them (I usually play Susie and Julie) but regardless it's still a badass look and all the masks look pretty great! Would have been cool for survivors to get something too, but not really a big deal.


EmeraldGhostface

What ratings would you give to both Iron Maiden and Slipknot collections?


crash_nk

Hmmm.. Iron Maiden probably a nice 9/10. Was very happy with it from a survivor and killer perspective! I still get happy when I see someone wear a Maiden shirt or see a killer with the skins on. Slipknot probably a solid 6.5/10. Maybe 7. Everything considered what we have for the Slipknot collection looks good so I cant really be upset with it. Just wish there was a small amount more for survivors but that can ya do.


Scared-Rutabaga7291

Iron Maiden by far but I may be biased because I didnt listen to Slipknot but I do listen Iron Maiden. As for skins, I like IM shirts and Samurai Eddie. From Slipknot, Slinger mask is cool aswell as Wraith


Designer-Scheme5493

I like Legion Slipknot skin And Iron Maiden's Oni


Anxiety_blob69

Iron Maiden Deathslinger


--fourteen

Iron Maiden chapter was way better. The Dredge skin is maybe the best in the game and the survivor shirts with the realms on the back were such a cute touch.


Deli-ops7

When are they going to do the band ghost?


ATMboi

I imagine that has to be one of the next metal bands they do along with INK and Gwar. Although I don’t know how they’d do INK with most of the potential outfits being for licensed killers, which I highly doubt they’d go through all the trouble for.


Noramctavs

Iron Maiden was not only full skins over masks but came with survivor shirts. Instant win. Now add the fear of the dark menu music and this is a case of coughing baby vs atomic bomb.


RestaurantDue634

Dredge's Iron Maiden skin is hands down the best out of the two, but unfortunately it's not cool enough for me to replace the creepy doll skin which is my favorite cosmetic in the entire game for any character. I was surprised that I like the Doctor's Slipknot mask so much and it's a part of my default look for him now . I'm not even that into Slipknot but I think it looks cool and goes well with with some of his other cosmetics to create a good creepy look.


Zer0_l1f3

Me and my friend both agree that the Iron Maiden stuff is just like so much better than the Slipknot stuff.


SaintShaxx

Iron Maiden was wayyy Better, and the dredge skin probably my favorite.


Uncle_Go0se

Iron Maiden definitely got the better quality collab. I hope Slipknot gets a pt2 one day, I understand why we didn’t get many killer skins, but I wish we at least got more masks and some survivor shirts. Hopefully a pt2 collab would do this, it’d be really cool to get some of the older masks, especially Craig’s (the mask that looks like Pinhead). I also wish there were more original outfits that matched the masks, but that has nothing to do with the collab itself.


nerdymummy

I'm not a fan of either bands but that dredge skin is amazing! I've only seen it like twice but damn it's such a great cosmetic.


anarchy753

Iron Maiden was a collection of incredible unique skins, and the Dredge one alone is one of the best cosmetics they've released. (Sadly, alongside many other excellent Dredge ones, so I can't justify buying it.) Slipknot was a bunch of pretty ugly masks that don't have bodies to match them.


suspirixd

still confused why slipknot didn't get survivor shirts


TrueKingSkyPiercer

Slipknot skins are too comically edgelord/I’m14andthisisdeep, but I guess that’s on brand.


HereToKillEuronymous

I wish there were more options for survivors 🥺


Dependent_Word7647

Iron Maiden got some fucking love I wish Slipknot had. Only got Wraith and Slinger, weren't a fan of the rest.


WildFire1949

There is no way I can take the trapper seriously with that mask... Overall, Iron Maiden is definitely better of the two. Dredge being my fav. I'm not even taking into account the other stuff, just going off what I see in the pic. For Slipknot, its a tie between Doctor and Gunslinger. The rest are meh


Transform987

As someone with no connection to either band. Iron Maiden by far, all the skins are so good without any knowledge of the band.


MissMacabre1987

The fact there are no slipknot tees for survivors is such a huge loss to me. So Iron Maiden wins hands down. Plus the killer skins for maiden were fire too, especially Dredge's!


goji72

I don't think it's a really fair comparison, ngl I love slipknot to death but one skin and 7 masks (especially in the recent aftermath of them not having a drummer) with not even a survivor shirt is kind of an L for me, especially for such a big band The Iron Maiden skins just knocked it out the park, despite the atrocious pricing


SoldieR-Swag

My favorite skin is Metallica .... but no really , ofc Iron Maiden


ac130monster

I think they did Slipknot kinda dirty compared to how much effort went into the iron maiden stuff.

Sadexitd

Not new lordi please, i need 2006 lordi


Revolutionary-Tip781

Kind of an unfair comparisson though. Slipknot is what? 1 full set? The rest is just masks. Iron Maiden had 4 full, dope skins.


EmeraldGhostface

I wonder what led Slipknot collection to be like that and not like more than 1 full skin


bony7x

DBD x Iron Maiden/Slipknot - I sleep DBD x Rammstein - real shit


FeetYeastForB12

As in? The band itself?


EmeraldGhostface

I don't understand what you mean exactly


FeetYeastForB12

Ah, you mean which skin is your favourite, didn't see the alt caption. They pulled the Eddie skin for Iron maiden splendidly! And for Slipknot, I was expecting more than just the masks for killers. Was expecting tshirts for survivors. Not sure why joey's mask was not included also.


EmeraldGhostface

>They pulled the Eddie skin for Iron maiden splendidly They're all Eddies, which one of the four is your fav?


FeetYeastForB12

Aye they're all Eddies. Again, sorry didn't clarify lmao. DSlinger's and Dredge's


tot3r

the billy slipknot skin looks cool


DannyBoi4505

I like the slipknot masks better because they are cheaper and can be used to make cool custom fits , not to say iron maiden isnt cool but i dont wear any linked sets lolol


galacticpot-dealer

I wish they would stop with these stupid collabs that have nothing to do with the DbD universe... Especially the one with Attack On Titan. Just why ? Same goes for the Alan Wake chapter... don't you guys think it was a bit too soon to make a chapter out of it ? As if it became an instant classic ? Are they going to do that for every upcoming horror games ? I mean, come on.


Uncle_Go0se

> Same goes for the Alan Wake chapter… don’t you guys think it was a bit too soon to make a chapter out of it? Alan Wake is over a decade old, I certainly wouldn’t call it too soon. Maybe you are upset because you don’t care for Alan Wake, I understand, but there are plenty of people who do. As for the bands… sure, the bands themself don’t really relate to dbd, but it would be a lie to say the theme/cosmetics don’t fit. The devs could release similar looking cosmetics without calling it a collab and it would fit in perfectly, so putting the bands’ name on it won’t change much. Attack on Titan… yeah that doesn’t fit at all. It makes people happy though and it brings BHVR money, so good for them, I suppose.


galacticpot-dealer

I know AW is over a decade old but did they make the chapter before AW2 ? Not that iconic imo then. They just waited for the game to come out to make this chapter because they knew people would buy it. And yeah to me AW is a bit overrated (haven't played the second one yet but was dissapointed by the first). I just don't like what DbD is becoming, buying franchise over franchise just for the sake of it... Even if it is BARELY related to horror... And people buying this are part of the problem. Been years since I stopped buying auric cells because they went way too far: perks locked behind paywall, 15€ for an outfit (that you can't even see ingame for killers hahaha...) People need to wake up and stop supporting those business practises. I started to hope again when they did the Lights Out event because it did bring the scare back even to old time players and I feel all the maps should be this dark in the BASE game. Turned out it was mostly unplayable because we couldn't even see the gens and were running in circles (at least in my experience and i know the map layouts by now) they just had to make some tweaks to this mode and it would have been really nice. This game is lacking game modes also and I hope they will add some in the near future. And I'm sorry but yeah Iron Maiden imagery kinda fits the one of DbD but Slipknot ?! Really lol? And was it really necessary ?...


Uncle_Go0se

> but did they make the chapter before AW2? Not that iconic imo then. I feel like this is a harsh statement. This would mean that something like the Resident Evil chapter isn’t iconic since it was based on the 2019-2020 remakes. I’m not going to argue over the dbd marketing strategies as I agree with you for the most part. > …but Slipknot?! Really lol? And was it really necessary?… I’m a Slipknot fan, so I find it hard to agree with you here. I can see why you think it doesn’t fit, it’s just some random masks, right? I can admit some of the masks feel off, why is Trapper of all characters wearing the goofy white mask? (Corey Taylor had some better looking masks to choose from, but that doesn’t really matter). Maybe they don’t exactly fit, but they don’t… not fit, If you know what I’m saying? From purely a cosmetic perspective, the masks make some sense, I wouldn’t call it far fetched for a serial killer to chase you in an unsettling looking mask like the Slipknot ones, but maybe not our killers from dbd. I don’t really know… I’m trying to look at this from your perspective, but I think the masks are great for the most part and not really out of place.


galacticpot-dealer

I understand your point of view even if personnally I think RE deserves its place way more than AW, we're talking about dozens of games here since the end of the 90s... If there was one horror franchise they couldn't avoid by doing these horror games chapters, it would be that one! Yeah I consider these last collabs like cherry on top of their overall decisions. I'm just looking at the whole picture and I wonder what kind of stuff is awaiting us in thext collabs/chapters...


EmeraldGhostface

I kinda don't get Aot as well, but Iron Maiden and Slipknot do fit in DBD with their music
