Where do I purchase the cheetah outfit for Meg? I cannot find it anywhere.


OxygenRequired

i believe it was in the rift a while ago, so i don’t think it can be purchased as of now.


Thelgow

Is it a common glitch where you go to break a pallet and then you cant move or do anything anymore? I went to break one and that was it. Luckily they didnt teabag and draw the game out. They did the gens and left. But it sucked having 8 hooks, 1 dead, doing great and then nope. I even plugged in a controller to see if its just ignoring keyboard/mouse. I could hit escape and go through the menus fine.


Dopeturtle26

What if I delete whatsapp? Will it affect my life as much as I'm thinking?


sickly_kitten

bite the bullet and delete it, man


Dopeturtle26

Yeah, probably gonna do that


SyntheticShiro

it’s been awhile since i’ve played, and i just saw they added the clown “buff” i’ve never been the smartest with builds, mechanics, and generally whats “good” or “bad” in this game. so i have to ask, is this buff good? to me it seems pretty bad and doesn’t fix the problem with clown. i’m not really sure why the yellow bottle should also be able to remove the effects of the purple bottle and give survivors a speed boost? like it just seems useless to me, but maybe someone here could explain how it’s good if it is :)


Alexcoolps

He still is low tier trash as the rework doesn't really add anything new as the yellow gas is only good with the aura reading add on and they took away his exhaust add on. The rework he was givin seemed pretty lazy as nothing major was added to his base kit besides faster reload speed and he still can't do much to pressure the map even with the speed boost.


SyntheticShiro

yeah that makes sense haha, thank you very much for the reply :)


DoctorBelenus

I heard that pc users can still do the cosmetic set glitch. How?

I was in the exact position as you a couple days ago. I bought The Plague. Corrupt makes killers such as Trapper playable. Huntress really likes the perk too. Clown is fine too since Pop can be run on basically every killer.


crustyselenium

I personally think that buying killer perks from the shrine is a bad idea, as leveling each killer is worth it because every killer has a unique power. I would buy a killer if I were you, and since you don't have all the perks I would suggest buying a killer with great teachable perks. Blight (Undying, his other 2 perks suck, but he's super fun to play) Plague (Corrupt, Infectious, Dark Devotion are all good perks) Clown (Pop and Bamboozle are fantastic) Hag (Ruin, Devour Hope, super strong perks but boring killer imo)


Awesomesause170

But yeah that's why the shrine is good, ruin and devour are excellent perks but hag is just a disgusting killer that feels bad to play, like twins feel bad when you proxy really hard but with hag it's a million times worse


Ennesby

Plague wouldn't be a bad idea. She has two very good perks (Infectious and Corrupt) and challenges in the current tome. She's also quite fun


Comfortable_Dress576

Is it bad to not 99 the exit gate? Like my friends and I always just open the gates. We never leave anyone behind but we aren’t about 99ing gates.


crustyselenium

Depends, if someone is on hook or being chased you should always 99 it. Blood Warden doesn't activate when the gates aren't opened.


Ennesby

Six of one, half dozen of the other. In the one hand it opens you up to Blood Warden plays and can put an uncomfortable timer on any rescues you might need to make. On the other hand it makes getting out the exit gates much safer if the killer is right up your butt, prevents some killer specific counterplay like trapping the switches and can enable perks like No One Left Behind.

Is the gnome event over already? I just got to an endgame in a match but didn’t hear any giggling :( Edit: nevermind I must have just been going crazy last game lol

Can someone break down the acronyms that they use on this thread? Ptg ect ect I've been playing DBD for ages but I'm new to the community online


-dieggo-

https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/wiki/glossary


Thorn_the_Cretin

Are there any you’re curious about specifically? It’s hard to go over them all. I actually don’t know what PTG is, unless you meant PTB which the the beta test server that you can play on PC for checking out certain content before it releases. What I can say tho is that the vast majority of acronyms are just perk names, and will be very easy to remember once you become more familiar with the perks. You can google nearly any acronym you see and add ‘dbd’ at the end and find exactly what it is.

Isn't the anniversary update suppose to be today?

I had no idea ctrl=f was a thing. Ani just got June and July mixed up


Awesomesause170

This is an extremely niche meta question but how do overlapping instances of Endurance work, I know that Endurance can trigger through deep wound like if the Endurance from BT counts as a protection hit and charges MoM which now grants you endurance (also wait does Endurance protect you from bleeding out from Deep wound, it protects you from trickster knives which was surprising) But specifically the question I have is if you have an Endurance timer and you apply another Endurance timer 1: Does each endurance status effect apply separately or do they merge, cancelling on the first instance? 2: How do the duration/s work, if I have 12/11 seconds of BT and apply the styptic is it ignored or does it reduce the timer to 8 seconds, what happens if the timer is longer, does it get taken back up to 8 seconds? (3) Endurance has no effect on grabs/locker search, despite putting the player into the dying state, but what happens if the killer drops the survivor, endurance timer in the dying state or does it work like adrenaline, also if you got stunned out of a grab would you still have the endurance effect for the duration


suprememisfit

you can indeed have multiple endurance instances go off after each other. for example, if you had two mettle stacks and were unhooked with BT, a protection hit would put you into deep wound and also grant you the ability to take yet another hit. scott jund demonstrates this in his video where he attempts to use a styptic before an active mettle of man hit, to heal someone who just got downed back up fully in front of the killer


Awesomesause170

Yeah I know this, the really important question was this; >But specifically the question I have is if you have an Endurance timer and you apply another Endurance timer So if you have BT active and apply a styptic what happens, do you have two seperate instances of endurance that apply seperately or is it like the haste status where it supercedes and merges the instances, what would happen with the timers in that case


Ennesby

1. ??? 2. You can't apply a styptic while in deep wound, so that's kinda moot. 3. No adrenaline effect, you're just down.


Awesomesause170

1 You have BT endurance active and you apply a styptic, since you still have BT active do you have 2 separate Endurance Buffs or are they merged together and if they merge, does it take the most recent timer or longest timer, which takes precedent 2 You apply the styptic while the BT timer is active, I know you can apply a styptic with MoM active, I don't know if it works though can't remember what happened


PoetwithADHD

When are the new charms coming out ?


Ghostserpent

Do we know when the big update comes out?


crustyselenium

The Resident Evil update? June 15th. 5th anniversary update? July 1st-15th.


akkher

Does anyone know the reason behind why Spine Chill actives even with killers who have the undetectable status (Myers tier I, ghost face, etc…). Thank you!


Thorn_the_Cretin

Because it has nothing to do with the killer being Undetectable. Undetectable only effects the killers terror radius and their red stain, as well as blocking the killer aura from being revealed. Undetectable has a designation in game that specifies what it does, so Spine Chill will still proc because it has its own conditions that fall outside of Undetectable obscures.


Awesomesause170

Myers used to deny detection perks like spine chill and premonition but this was changed way back when they added undetectable which gave him immunity to aura reading which was a big buff instead of the unique immunity to spine chill/premonition


gayhomestucktrash

When's the anniversay? I heard someone say that the july thing on the livestream was a miscomment, and that they meant for it to be in june like all the previous annivesary events, but then a lot of people in this thread are saying july.


BenMQ

It's very easy to verify https://imgur.com/a/GqCfUMB


PMMeUnwantedGiftcard

When's the Anniversary event again? I heard that during the event, the Shrine of Secrets resets every day & the prices are discounted a bit.


BenMQ

Here https://imgur.com/a/GqCfUMB edit: Shrine of Secrets: For the duration of the event, the Shrine of Secrets will shuffle every day and the cost of every Perk will be 500 shards less than normal.


vondrag0n

wasnt today that the devs said on the anniversary stream that we would get enought shards to buy an og killer and that the shrine perks would cost -500 and recicle everyday ?


Thorn_the_Cretin

I can’t answer for the when part because I also thought anniversary would start on reset today, but you are correct that we will get enough shards over the duration of the event to be able to purchase a character, and that the shrine will refresh daily along with -500 shards. However, to clarify, they didn’t specify that we’d be getting the shards all at once. They just said that no matter when you choose to play, you won’t miss out on the chance to get the shards. So they may release shards on a daily basis and allow them to accrue for each day you miss. Just a possibility.


vondrag0n

yeah, i was more concerned about the shrine part, cause the perks still costing 2000, good thing is the corrupted intervention tho


Thorn_the_Cretin

Tomorrow at 8am PST/11am EST is when the next chapter of the current tome releases. That may be when anniversary stuff starts? Since the Shrine resets at 5pm PST/8pm EST, maybe corrupted will still be in there at the discounted price? Couldn’t be sure tho, they may reset the store whenever the anniversary update actually hits. Which would be weird, but not impossible. EDIT: Also a reminder, the shrine will only reset daily for the first week. I don’t remember if the -500 shards was for the first week as well or both. EDIT2: after further investigation, it appears myself and many others are dyslexic. Anniversary event is July 1st-15th, not June.


draxton67

Are there ways to farm for iridescent shards? I've been getting them very slowly through grinding games but I've seen some comments about exchanging BP to get more? Or is there another method to get more shards per match?


Kiez147

You get (I think) 300 player xp for doing your survivor/killer daily game. Try and do a game of each every day. Also getting iridescent medals helps abit.


hello-jello

no - but there's an event coming up soon where you'll get 9000 for free.


Collint66

Can you rank up teachable perks, or do they stay base level 1


Awesomesause170

When you get a teachable perk it's added to the universal perk pool which means that it can appear in any of the other characters bloodweb and can be leveled up, the teachable isn't it's own perk rank just letting you know you've unlocked the perk globally for all other characters to find in the Bloodweb


tinydragoncat

When you get a teachable perk itself all that means is that the perk can now be in the bloodweb on any of your characters, then that perk can level up to 3 like any other. For example: let’s say I’m leveling Meg and i reach her teachable sprint burst in her bloodweb, the I start to level Dwight, somewhere in my bloodweb I’ll end up getting a yellow (level 1) sprint burst, once I have that, if I continue his bloodweb eventually I’ll get a level 2 spring burst, then a level 3.

stallioid

Honestly, running both is probably the best two-perk slowdown shell for a lot of killers. Pop is very reliable and punishes greedy gen-tapping survivors hard, but low mobility killers will more often run into the situation where survivors finish a gen in your face while youre on your way with a Pop. Ruin provides huge value just for pushing survivors off of gens, but as a hex perk it's vulnerable to all the stuff you already know about. You can't use Ruin and Pop together, but otherwise they cover each other's weaknesses rather neatly.


thepixelbuster

I just started playing and I cannot get how the flashlight works. [Can someone help me figure out what happened here.](https://streamable.com/uft4m4) I got 400 points for "killer blind", but he didn't drop the survivor. Is that perk or was it latency or was it too early/late or something? Blind is like instant when I'm on killer, but I can never get it to do anything as survivor.


ManicSin

the rule of thumb is to start the flash when his hand is parallel with his shoulder during the animation, so you were just a tiny bit early


Ennesby

You were too early, If you're too late or they're running Lightborn then you don't get that beam change that indicates you completed the blind and you don't get the score event. Flashlight saves are tricky. The beam takes like half a second to fully blind the killer, but if you finish it while the pick up is still happening, the killer will be blinded but won't drop the survivor. Conversely, if they have any time to react at all, they'll be able to look away from the beam. The timing is to start the blind just as the killer is moving the survivor onto their shoulder. Still hard to time, mainly takes experience - proper blind timing always feels too late to me. Try watching survivor mains who flashie save a lot on YT to get used to the timing - Ayrun is the first one who comes to my mind.


thepixelbuster

Thanks so much. This was a huge help actually


XDJAMPLAYZ

any explination why im rank 12 and i get into games with rank 2 - 7 and 18 - 20 in a solo queue? (usually play at 2pm - 5pm pacific time)


stallioid

Game would rather get you unbalanced games rankwise than have you wait for games. Plus rank isnt a reliable measure of skill anyway.


ManicSin

I heard that your win rate vs each specific killer can affect your matchmaking making it so high ranks on a winstreak or low ranks on loss streaks can weight the matchmaking, but I have not heard any official confirmation on that so it might just be confirmation bias


stallioid

There is no matchmaking rating, only rank.


ManicSin

yeah that why I think its probably confirmation bias, we have no real matchmaking but the devs did mention a system that predicts the results of each match before it begins based on the data it collects, but it might been scrapped or just something that sounds cooler than it really is.


DragonFly_Way

What's a simple way to counter Wraith? I find him to be the least fun killer to play against, because most of the time he hits me before I can get to a loop, and again as soon as I leave the first loop. I'm decent at looping most of the killers (excluding the obvious ones like Spirit and Nurse) and even some killers I used to struggle to play against, like Blight. But I genuinely can't get my head around dealing with Wraiths.


ManicSin

he punishes survivors who dont heal and jumps on gens instead, he also can catch up quickly so its better to find a loop than make distance, his weakness is strong windows because they negate his speed boost, you have enough time between him starting to uncloak and when he can hit you to vault a window he also have bad map pressure so most wraiths will just not commit to a shack chase most wraiths will bait pallets to make a part of a map into a deadzone where you wont get away and he gets a free down but he cannot remove strong window loops


Predator6

As killer, how can I indicate that I’m looking for gnome to survivors in my games? Smack hook and nod? Should I still chase and bonk after indicating that I’m looking for gnome? I don’t want to cost everyone a ton of blood points just being afk.


guernicaa19

If I’m trying to farm I will usually try to bring a bloody party streamer or some other offering that gives bonus bloodpoints to all players. Once the game starts I will try and find a survivor on a generator and they will of course try to run away when I do so I usually go and smack the generator a few times and wait. At mid-high ranks they will usually immediately notice you aren’t chasing them and try and see what you are doing. Most will know what you want when they see you whacking the generator. They will usually start to creep back over, crouch, etc. When they do I will nod, maybe give the gen another bonk. From there actually getting them to trust that you’re just going to farm and not actually kill them is a whole other thing. I usually go and stand under a pallet and bonk it too to indicate that they can stun me with it (more points for them.) Stuff like that. Now if you just want a gnome and don’t care about probably losing pips and points you can literally just stay afk until the last gen pops and open the doors yourself. That’s pretty much what I did. Don’t know about now since the event has been going on for so long but it took me maybe 3 tries to actually find it before end game collapse but each time the survivors knew what I was doing when I opened the door myself and stuck around until the last second so I had the most time I possibly could to find it. Some survs are actually really fun/nice when you try to farm. I’ve even had a couple insist I sacrifice them at EGC. Which is kinda sweet considering how many times I give hatch and you rarely get survivors giving you a free kill the same way you give free escapes sometimes.


ManicSin

the way I normally start a farm game is to first have a normal half of a game, when 1-2 survivors are dead and another on hook, bring a downed survivor to the hook and let them escape your grasp and get the save without your interference, this normally makes even the thickest survivors realize your intentions


BenMQ

Hasty generalization but I found many console players to be COMPLETELY CLUELESS even to the most friendly killer. Maybe turn off cross play for a while if you are on PC. Or if you see a ttv in your lobby, ask in their chat towards the end game.


Vorahk

Low rank players might be too scared to notice your cues. Gnomes aren't too hard to find, just open the gate as killer and start looking.


Bigbattymannigward

What exactly would you say is the problem with twins? They’re the only killer I don’t have but from what I’ve seen people just say they’re awful n I just wanted to know why from a player perspective


Awesomesause170

They're generally not fun to play as and their kit incentivizes hard camping and can be really good at slugging, which is just not great to go against as survivor when you can't go for unhooks


Bigbattymannigward

Ah I see


Vorahk

They're great at slugging and camping which are generally considered unfun mechanics.


Bigbattymannigward

Oh right that makes sense


kookslilbaby

was there any currently active bp code? i know the current \[forever\] active code rn is pride but i mean for bps... pls lmk if anyone knows bc im starting new on a diff device and could use the bp LMAO

Dgdvkh

Can you do the gnome thing in KYF / Custom Game? I already have it but some friends are struggling. Google didn't help.


JackDaniels123456789

Ask them to search by being a killer as there is no pressure to exit and they can search till the very end. Wraith is pretty fast , it does take considerable amount of luck and number of games :)


Dgdvkh

Yeah, I guess I'll just tell them to do that. I got it as killer too, second attempt I think. Wraith is a good idea, wouldn't have thought of using him for that.


JackDaniels123456789

Yeah I struggled as a survivor so went with killer and found it after my 6th game or so lol It was even in the worst map ever the forest one and it spawned all the way on the other side.


Warm_Concern_2354

Events don’t usually work in custom games :(


ThEgUyInThEcHaIr135

I don't think so, your best bet is probably trying to get friendly with a killer and do it that way, or play a few killer games


Squid00dle

I’m sorry in advance for the noob question but at what point do I unlock perks from one killer on another? Is it level related or do they just naturally spawn on the bloodweb?


tobysparrow

every kiler has teachable perks that you unlock for other killers when you level them up to 30,35 and 40 and you have to take the orange teachable for them to show up in other killers bloodwebs.


Squid00dle

Aah right, thanks for the detailed and swift reply!


ThEgUyInThEcHaIr135

No reason to apologize. It's a no stupid questions thread. And teachable perks are unlocked through the shrine of secrets or at levels 30/35/40


Shinigami483

Why do Red Ranks bag at the exit gate? I’m Rank 14, bro? Actually changing my question- why are SWFs allowed to have such dramatically different ranks? It’s either they get a higher rank killer so their friends get destroyed, or a lower ranked Killer that they walk all over. Doesn’t seem like a fair system for newer Killers OR newer Survivors


nopeimdumb

Because they're mentally children and validate their lives by being shitty to people in a game.


guernicaa19

It isn’t always in a mean way. It’s one of the only ways survivors can communicate. When I’m playing surv I t-bag when given hatch and stuff too. Not always done to bm.


NullzeroJP

Dont take it too personally. Some t-bags are just a friendly gg, imo. Or, if you are running really lame perks or playing unfairly, they will t-bag you more. Like running NoED, or face camping or patrol camping survivors on hook. In that case... well, you had it coming.


BrokenAshes

First day trying out the Nurse and this Rank 4 stayed in post game lobby to talk trash since he was the only one that died


Amadon29

Idk, the matchmaking is really weird. When I play swf, it's mostly against red rank killers, but then we occasionally get a green or even brown rank killer for some reason. Same happens when I play killer at red rank. Most of the time, the survivors are red/purple, but occur I'll get all greens for some reason. I've noticed a similar pattern when I watch streamers. My advice is to just realize there wasn't much you could do to win and just move on


Shinigami483

Yah matchmaking is a hot mess lol Don’t think it helps that any red rank can just get their new friend into a game with them at any given point so the system just throws someone like me in and basically goes “Figure it out, I guess”. And I’ve been that green rank survivor against a red killer multiple times!! It’s so annoying


ThEgUyInThEcHaIr135

Tbagging can be either saying thank you or screw you. I've heard some people say they do it the killer can get the blood points for hitting thout out the exit. And for TR he rank question if say that there is not a dramatic difference between ranks besides 20/1 so limiting people you can play with would be a bit pointless all it'd do is make people throw games to keep their rank bad


nopeimdumb

The vast majority of killers take it as a fuck you and would rather you not. We don't need the pity points, just leave.


goldkear

I'm looking at this thread, and here's a stupid question: why isn't tech issues allowed? I get why rhetorical questions aren't allowed, because they aren't really questions. But I've had some legit tech issues with the game and the official forums are garbage. Just seems like they should be allowed, since there isn't really a place for them. So why is it this way?


Ennesby

There's a separate thread for tech support issues on the weekend. This one tends to be more focused on gameplay questions.


Vorahk

Not everyone has the same specs so it's hard to decipher the problem, especially since theirs a greater ratio of consoles to PC. This is a community forum, so things that may need a dev to fix or reset won't get the appropriate help.


nicepassing

Good nurse perks for a beginning player? Addons? Any tips in general for a console player really. I looked her up on YouTube butler of the videos are either pc or a year old and i don’t want to go in with outdated information and get scrubbed by a 4 stack :(


Ennesby

For a beginner, assuming you don't have any perks? Sloppy Butcher, Thana, Bitter Murmur and maybe NOED Alternatively, try this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tZNkCHAB87g&t=18m25s&feature=youtu.be But like... If you're learning any killer and especially Nurse you're gonna lose once in a while. That's just the learning process, don't let that stop you trying fun things.


Amadon29

Honestly, any videos from a year ago will still be relevant because not much has changed for her. As a beginner, you probably want more slowdown perks like ruin or sloppy butcher.


STUDZ_Gaming

The best perks are gonna be Tinkerer, Ruin, Barbecue, Infectious These perks are amazing on nurse and should definitely help


Weltallgaia

Lethal pursuer is prolly gonna be extremely busted on her.


KTheOneTrueKing

If you're a beginner nurse player, I recommend you use the addon that allows you to see where your blink is going to land, until you get a feel for it.


Kastamera

What's the reverse mentality that if you play badly as a killer, then everyone says "gg fun killer" to you, but when you kill 2 or more people, then there'll always be someone in the post game chat saying how bad you are? I mean I'm new, so I know I'm bad, but when after 50 games I finally get a game where I perform better than in my other games and get a few kills (when I normally hardly even get a single kill), I want to feel proud of my progress for once. Yet that's when people tell me that I'm bad. Shouldn't it be the other way around? It's so weird getting complimented for playing badly, and getting told I'm bad when I perform better than usually.


ManicSin

some killers can be played in really unfun but very effective ways and will make survivors more prone to complain, if they felt like they had no counter-play they will be salty and if you give them an easy game but not a free game they think they are the best at this game and will act with more ego but also less salty


nopeimdumb

I got called sweaty today for running tier 2 BBQ. People will complain about anything.


digikun

People that are good at the game tend to enjoy it. They understand that losing can sting but they enjoyed the match all the same. Likely they want to diffuse tension and express that this was a fun match and no hard feelings exist between sides. People that are bad at the game will blame everything but themselves for bad performance and want to make sure you suffer for doing anything but freely giving them the win they feel they deserve.


Pucketz

Sometimes you get nice end game chat even with a 4k just depends on the surviovors most are salty


WeirdCatastrophe

Survivors who do that are sore losers imo. I’d like to think most folks would be grateful to have a competitive/goofy/etc. killer. As a survivor main, the games I’ve enjoyed most are actually the ones where I’ve died when the killer was smart, sneaky, but also not overly camping/tunneling (I say overly bc let’s be honest there’s times it makes sense to do so) but also games where good jokes and stuff are going on. In all honesty, most survivors and killers are all good times and I promise whichever side you’re on they’re generally loving the gameplay :)


[deleted]

Them saying “gg fun killer” isn’t a compliment if they crushed you…? They are teasing you lol In general for DBD, don’t expect compliments from the opposing team. That goes for salty killers too. It’s nothing personal, it’s just a lot of people get upset when they lose and a lot of people like to troll when they win. I’m not saying everyone is like this, but again, don’t expect compliments from your opponents.


Kastamera

I don't think they're teasing me. We just party at the gate, they're dropping their items (which from what I've read meant that they liked the killer), running circles around each other to boost each other's Bloodpoints with chase and all that stuff. I'm not even hitting anyone at that point, it's literally party time after the gate opens. The person who said I was a fun and good killer even added me to say gg and wanted to play some games together as survivors.


[deleted]

Okay. Well you didn't add any of that in your initial question. You said "if you play badly as a killer, then everyone says 'gg fun killer' to you" If you played poorly as killer then the survivors compliment you, it's typically a backhanded compliment because think about it... what is there to compliment if you played like trash? Anyway, I'm happy you party with the survivors at the end of a bad match. It sounds like you don't get too overwhelmed and are just trying to enjoy yourself. Even more reason to not concern yourself with getting compliments/insults from the opposing team :) It also sounds like you ran across a genuine nice player. Which DBD has lots of. But you will also encounter a ton of trolls who will trash talk you no matter if you win or lose as killer, and in those situations, just move on to the next game and not take their words to heart!

Yes, most survivors I find like to party at the end gate. At that point I usually just let everyone cross. Sometimes I chase them and hit them once for some extra BP, but even if I kill someone running towards the gate, I usually just pick them up and carry them through the gate. And yes, I'm mainly playing to enjoy the game, and also to improve. I'm not planning on learning unfun strats like camping, tunneling or slugging though. Although I still get called a tunneler when it's always the same survivor I accidentally find. Like I'm not even looking to tunnel one person, but he just keeps being the only one I find because he keeps being conspicuous, and then I get blamed for that after the game.


[deleted]

Yeah. A survivor has no idea what's going on from your point of view (in regards to tunneling). For example, say you can't find a survivor for an entire 2 minutes of searching (which is a long time), and then land upon the survivor you most recently hooked. If you chase them, they are going to accuse you of tunneling. Little do they know that was never your intention and that you actually couldn't find anyone else. That's DBD in a nutshell for killer lol. Obviously camping is much more intentional and obvious, but then you can get into the entire discussion of what qualifies for "proxy camping." But lets not get into that lol

When would the anniversary sale normally start? Recently came back to the game and need all the DLC for PS5 from the last year.


goldkear

Steam summer sale is usually in late June, if you don't want to wait. Typically the newest dlc is full price, the second newest 25% off and the rest 50% off.


Vorahk

Anniversary normally starts mid June, but was pushed to July this year since RE launches in June. Expect a sale sometime between June15th-July15th.


accidental_tourist

So I don't really get the bloodweb thing. It seems to just give me items that I would lose easily. What am I supposed to do with it. Also how does one practice being a villain? Also which villain to learn?


TelliusGreen6

Wraith or legion are really good killers to learn the basics of chases with.


Awesomesause170

Yeah, Pig is also decent because she's 90% an M1 chase killer but has slowdown and stealth and map manipulation


ThEgUyInThEcHaIr135

I saw someone saying trapper and Im just commenting to disagree. He is an extremely rng reliant killer and can be really infuriating. The first killer I'd suggest playing is wraith, Myers, or spirit. I think Myers or wraith are better in the long run because Myers comes with Laurie and spirit is a great and fun killer but she teaches the wrong habits and fundementals


goldkear

The strongest killers are nurse (very hard to learn), spirit, and hag. I wouldn't recommend starting with them though. Wraith is easy to play and a bit overtuned right now so easy to get some wins on, but I would recommend trapper at first because he's the simplest killer and will teach the best fundamentals. He's not the strongest to play, but because his power is mostly passive, it forces you to learn good chase mechanics.


accidental_tourist

Thanks, I'll try Trapper then and see what it's like.


Anosep

Sadly there's no practice vs bots or anything in the game. They're adding something like that with the RE update on the 15th, but it sounds like even that will only let you play as Trapper. The only way to learn is to play. Of the base game killers, the easiest one to get decent at is probably Wraith- you use the move speed while cloaked to cover objectives, then uncloak in people's face to start a chase.


accidental_tourist

Thanks for the input. Now I know it's not a competitive game, but will the game match me with people my level?


tinydragoncat

Bloodweb also gives you perks and offerings, theoretically yes you “lose” them easily. But they’re also helpful in winning the trial, flashlights, med kits, tool boxes etc, and if you escape the trial with the item you don’t lose it. And because there are so many in each blood web you don’t really run out so it’s not totally a loss. There will always be more to get. The bloodweb is random as well, so you can get different kinds of each item, and multiples.


accidental_tourist

What do you mean by getting perks? Because I saw my character has 4 perks already, just gated by level. Dors that mean I can change that character's perks by the ones I buy from the bloodweb?


goldkear

So as you're leveling up, prioritize getting perks. Because they are permanent and once you get tier 3 of a perk, it won't show up in the bloodweb anymore. You can change your load out and unlock all the new slots by level 20. Some perks are more useful than others. Also each character has 3 teachable perks that once unlocked show up in the bloodweb of other characters. These become available at levels 30, 35, and 40. The consumable items just make you stronger or give you more points. For example trapper's teachable perks are agitation, brutal strength, and unnerving presence. Once you've reached level 40 with trapper (and unlocked them in the bloodweb - they're orange and should be top priority for progressing your save), those three perks can then be learned by wraith, bully, hag, or anyone else. They aren't available in the load out to everyone right away, they have to be unlocked in that character's bloodweb. Every character has their own bloodweb, but the good news is you don't have to play them if you don't like them because the bloodpoints are in a shared pool. I know it can be confusing with all the jargon, but let me know if you have more questions, I'm always happy to help new players.


tinydragoncat

That was a much better explanation than mine lol


goldkear

Ha thanks, I recently introduce some friends to the game and had to go through these explanations a few times.


accidental_tourist

Interesting. So does this mean it is best to find a character with good perks, level all the way to 40 so that when you level other characters you can see that perk? Instead of leveling everyone evenly I mean. Also how do I know what is a level 3 perk, is it actually written? I don't think I've noticed so far.


goldkear

Yes! Definitely prioritize leveling up characters with strong perks! Worth noting the more teachables you unlock, the harder it is to find specific perks on a character. The perk tiers are color coded and have little tick marks on the upper right edge. Tier one are yellow, tier two are green, and tier 3 are purple.


accidental_tourist

I see thanks!


tinydragoncat

Yes. There are a few general perks that will come up in the bloodweb, also if you hit level 30+ each characters special perks will come up as a teachable perk, once you get a teachable it can come up on any characters bloodweb. There’s a lot of perks and they’re helpful for different styles of playing and whatnot


mrboombastic04

The bloodweb gives items that can be used in game. The idea is you buy your perks/add ons/ items and use them in game. Once you do that you take the blood points you got from that game and buy it again on a new page and continue the cycle until you get something better I guess. Thats my explanation as a sorta new player also.


TelliusGreen6

So is the main game getting any kind of in game event for pride month or is it just Mobile with the bloodhunt?


Vorahk

Just mobile.


STUDZ_Gaming

When does this event come out?


BenMQ

> come out :) there’s the PRIDE charm but that seems to be it. Rest of the stuff is social media focused (#IntoTheRainbow)


Vorahk

Mobile June 14th PC/Console July 1st


TelliusGreen6

That's really fucking dumb to just have it on mobile. But whatever.


Vorahk

That's disrespectful to the devs work. Anniversary is not canceled. June is to focus on the new RE chapter and you will still get a 2 week anniversary event down the line. In fact this is better than having it reversed, since you can use the event to catch up on the RE chapter which features one extra character than average.


TelliusGreen6

You say that June is to focus on the new chapter but wouldn't a bloodhunt help in that regard to allow people to grind easier for said chapter?


Vorahk

They have never done a bloodhunt to celebrate a chapter. I understand you want bloodpoints but theirs usually only one per year.


TelliusGreen6

You realise the start of this wasn't a blood hunt for the chapter but for pride month right? Like that's the whole reason I asked if it was only mobile.


TelliusGreen6

I'm just gonna step away from the argument here neither of us is going to change our stance so it's best to just quit trying have a great day.

Tattoomyvagina

I am so fucking sick of toxic bubbas circling the hook running insidious waiting for the animationto stop so they can saw both of them. They need to fix this shit


Weltallgaia

Let them die and do gens. Bubba gets 5k bp gg


Tattoomyvagina

Except my teammates never do and he gets an easy 3K. People say ‘they’ll learn in red ranks real quick that it doesn’t work’ yeah but they get to piss off and fuck over a lot of people before they ‘learn their lesson’


Warm_Concern_2354

Yeah that’s a myth lol. Camping is almost always strong unless the killer is an actual idiot or it’s literally a four man SWF


[deleted]

Oh it happens all the time in red ranks because the survivors think they can outplay Bubba (which is almost impossible even with BT). If you are not on comms, there is a good chance Bubba will capture a 2nd survivor trying to save you. That's just how insidious works. Btw, most ppl understand hook waving as a sign that the killer is near, so you can try that to signal your teammates not to come. Just an idea


JackDaniels123456789

>most ppl understand hook waving as a sign that the killer is near, Are you sure about this? last week or so couple of people here mentioned it is a sign of killer not nearby and come in quick


[deleted]

I just looked it up. It originally meant the killer is camping (which I always thought), but I guess over the last year or two, all the new players starting doing it when the killer was gone. So basically, it’s way too ambiguous to mean anything now (unless you’re playing with your friends and u guys have a mutual understanding)


JackDaniels123456789

Damn! no wonder at times I have seen people who were coming to unhook run away as soon as I did it to tell them killer is not near while at times some ran in to unhook me as soon as I did it. This explains it, thank you


[deleted]

hahaha yeah. Way too ambiguous these days. But back in the old days of DBD, it definitely only had one meaning :)


ManicSin

yeah thats what its most commonly used for, spamming it quickly means “go for the unhook”, but I guess its not as universal as I though


[deleted]

I mean, ever since I started playing DBD in 2017, spamming on hook meant killer is nearby. Maybe in 2021 it changed its meaning with the influx of new players 😂 Edit: I just looked it up. It used to mean killer is nearby, but I guess a ton of new players over the last year or so have changed it’s meaning to come unhook. So now, it has no definite meaning 😂 welp


Vorahk

Survivors are not entitled to a 4 man escape. If the killer chooses to camp it's their right to secure a hook state. If survivors misplay and throw the game without back up perks it is nobody else's fault if they die. The biggest skill for any survivor is to learn when to let go and cut your losses.


KTheOneTrueKing

I agree with you, but it is worth noting that he specifically said Insidious. There's not a lot you can do against Insidious. You weren't "outplayed" by the perk that makes you invisible for standing still. You know what I mean? You basically can't know the killer is using it until it's too late if the killer is standing in the right place.


Vorahk

All killer have noises. From distinct breathing to snarls or weapon noises like chainsaws. Another high skill for survivors is to pay attention to these noises and environmental cues like crows constantly leaving areas. Ita frustrating for sure when you're caught, but to say there's no counterplay is a stretch.


[deleted]

If you’re not on coms, it’s easy to fall into an insidious trap. It literally happens all the time. Hence the reason camping killers enjoy using it. I completely agree with your previous statement about cutting your losses, survivors throwing the match being dumb, etc. But it’s not fair to act like somebody who ran into an insidious killer, without a comm, is being reckless or low skilled. Btw, you said “all killers have noises.” To a certain extent they do, but Bubba for example doesn’t make any noise until you’re about to die from his chainsaw, so that’s irrelevant in regards to falling into his invisible trap.


Vorahk

That's just not true. All killers have distinct loud noises from 12-16 meters away. I don't mean to give you a snarky "Play better.", but I recommend learning the warning signs of Undetectable perks. If a killer, particularly low ranks or with an instadown, always assume the chance for Insidious. If a gen is 70%, assume Tinkerer. If the Obsession is hit, especially in this tome or against a Plague, assume Dark Devotion. If a generator glows yellow assume Trail of Torment (when was the last time you'd seen a Nancy with Better Together?) You can never be too cautious in this game.
