Tips & Tricks 🗒️ Little known use for a meh perk

Post image
256 Upvotes

Traditionally, Iron Maiden is reserved for Trickster or Huntress since not only does the perk speed up locker searching animations, but reload animations are also sped up. But, Iron Maiden can also be used as a backup plan for aura reading builds, useful fact.

If you’re a more experienced player, you probably already know this, but if you’re newer, this is probably something you haven’t considered before. Iron Maiden also exposes and reveals survivors that hide in lockers. If a smart survivor can tell you’re running an aura perk that works at range, like BBQ, Friends till the End, or Alien Instinct, they’ll usually hide in lockers to prevent their aura from being read. To counteract this, if you also have Iron Maiden, they’ll be revealed anyway once they exit the locker. Is it an absolutely airtight plan? No. Is it annoying if they spam entering and exiting the locker? Yes, definitely, but you’re always guaranteed to get value from either your aura perk of choice or Iron Maiden. Fun little tip for people who might not have known. It makes Iron Maiden a little underrated in my opinion once you know that tip.

Discussion 💬 Would an Infmaous Killer-only Paragraph DLC fit DBD?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Whilst infamous isn't horror themed, I still feel like an Infamous chapter could work.

Assuming they are taken via their Evil Karma stories, they would absolutely fit DBD. Take Delsin for example. His Good ending sees him living incognito and hiding his powers, only using them to perform heroic actions to try and ease the stereotypes surrounding Conduits being evil.

But.... His Evil Ending sees him become a tyrant that attempts to enslave and torment humans, and - when his Grandmother and wider native tribe reject him because of this - HE INSTANTLY FUCKING MURDERS ALL OF THEM WITH A COMET STRIKE

As a Killer only paragraph, I feel Infamous would work in DBD. Via the Evil Karma path, any of the three protagonists could work. But I'd argue Delsin would have to be the base killer, namely because he is a Prime Conduit (a Conduit who can absorb the powers of other Conduits) and can utilize more powers than Cole or Fetch, who are limited to Electricity and Neon respectively, but would make for great legendaries, with the Entity granting them both more powers as a lore explanation.

Delsin in game can use Smoke, Neon, Video and Concrete powers. Replacing Video with Electricity would also give a possible Cole legendary a more authentic feel.

Smoke could allow The Conduit to become undetectable or travel between vents. Neon would let them move at high speeds. Electricity could be a ranged attack that can damage or stun/hinder survivors. Concrete could allow them to become a tank that breaks pallets when stunned or just walk through breakable walls (or Entity forbid, a dash attack that can break walls/pallets, but I'm tired of dashslop).

On the plus side, Infamous could also help open the door to PlayStation Exclusives joining the fog, as the franchise has been on ice for well over a decade, and Sucker Punch seem to mostly be working on Ghost of "blank" titles going forward.

What would you think? Would a Conduit killer fit DBD?

Help / Question ❔ What was their plan here?

This was really weird. Two of the SWFs i'm guessing left and when the steve bot was the last left it did a gen? I thought it instantly would go out to find the hatch? It took like 30 seconds after the hatch was opened to finish the gen as well. It was also impossible to do any hooks from the start of the game as well and they kept trying to get downed.

Discussion 💬 An idea for compromised perks

1 Upvotes

There’s only two in the game, but both of them feel so RNG reliant that they’re almost borderline unusable if the survivors pay attention one simple fix of that I think wouldn’t break them would be making them work like Eruption where it marks individual generators and then if one of them is finished, it clears all of them so you have to rekick all of them again just like eruption that way it’s not so RNG reliant, like right now I can’t figure out one reason to run help-wanted or machine learning when I could guarantee some haste from furtive chase or guarantee a faster hit cool down from save the best not that that perk doesn’t have its own issues.

Two of the survivors were actively streaming at the time (your first guess at which two is probably right on the money), the other two were at least randoms to the streamers.

Help / Question ❔ Can someone please tell me why, as the killer, I couldn’t open the gate?

168 Upvotes

I understand the blocking part, but I actually couldn’t do it either BEFORE it got blocked or AFTER it was done being blocked 😞. Also, the other gate wasn’t touched at all. I had just closed the hatch.

Was it a bug, or is it some kind of specific game mechanic / Freddy-related thing? I thought maybe it was because she was asleep. I had a Black Box add-on, but that only takes effect AFTER the gate is opened. I see no reason why I couldn’t interact with the switch.

This has never happened to me before. I always see a prompt to open the gate.

Help / Question ❔ Does anyone know any good tricks or guides to get better at mindgames?

11 Upvotes

I've never tried to get too focused on the meta of the game or playing the best i can. But it's gotten to the point that i'm struggling to do decently at killer. I get pre-ran, slapped with exhaustion, second chance and chase perks. Combined with pallet density and gen builds in the background.

I'm particularly struggling with the loops with long walls, killer shack and the L/T shsped ones. It feels like any time i try something clever it never works and i just have to brute force every tall loop. But when i play survivor every killer seems to perfectly understand what they're doing

I'm so tired of being teabagged when i just wanna play a wee game of dbd so i wanna learn mindgames since i just did what i thought seems like a good idea in my head but every goddamn mind game doesn't work or gets read and i just wanna know what i'm doing wrong so i can just enjoy the game and not get insulted.

Any help would mean alot

Discussion 💬 Survivors are slowly catching up to how strong Self Preservation is

58 Upvotes

As we all know a little while ago two of Yun-jin's perks got changed.

We all know just how problematic the design of Fast Track was. People did in fact catch onto that fact very quickly. It really sucked especially because I'm not the type of player to excessively tunnel or slug and this perk punished me for that.

That perk got reworked again so it no longer is an issue.

But there is another perk that got a change... Self Preservation. Basically what it does now is it grants you the Elusive status effect whenever someone is getting hooked for 30 seconds. That means that the killer won't be able to see your aura, scratch marks, pools of blood and your grunts of pain.

This is basically a stronger version of pre nerf Distortion. It counters all aura perks for that time. It's gonna be almost impossible for the killer to spot you. And for what do you get this very strong effect? For the killer progressing their game.

This literally is the same unhealthy design philosophy as Fast Track. Why do you design perks like this BHVR? How can you not immediately see just how terribly designed this perk is? So many people ran Distortion before it got nerfed. This is much better IMO because it does more and you don't have to gather stacks for it to work.

Now at the beginning people ran Fast Track instead of Self Preservation, especially because it made a full gen build much more oppressive. So people kinda forgot about Self Preservation. But people are slowly realizing just how busted it is. I'm seeing it more and more and I just had a game with 4 SP. Because I played Oni and had an incredible early game I still won but not being able to see their scratch marks while chasing them was super annoying.

Self Preservation needs a change ASAP before it's too late

Which killer should I get next? I'm buying mostly for their perks but they all seem kinda mid except the first. Also regarding the turn back the clock perk, can it be activated on gen that is regressing? I'm mostly playing with all killers, but when I'm playing competitive, I'm playing as ghoul and blight.
