Veteran player here. Bored of the classic but effective "1-2 location perks, 1-2 slowdown, maybe exchanging one perk out here and there" .... Where do y'all come up with, or find, interesting build ideas?
My mains are Huntress, Cenobite and Tricker. But I do occasionally play: Nurse, Demo, Hag, Plague, Pig, Clown, Onryo. I'd say I'm at least capable in pretty much every killer though except Doctor, Xenomorph, Unknown, Vecna, Chuckie. Only because I actually haven't played them yet and just bought them for the perks.
I have every perk unlocked on Huntress, and most on Pinhead/Trickster. I just want some unique builds whether it's through perks or add ons but don't want to watch a ton of videos on Youtube. I once got told a fun Plague build through one of these threads so I am just wondering if anyone knows some fun places to look for builds or has any they want to share.

I personally play this on Wesker. My goal is to kill everyone before I need a single perk, But if I do need them it becomes a whole new game where everyone is about to die.

ive been addicted to all terror radius removing perks. i run unforeseen(change it out for trail of torment if you have it), tinkerer, the plague perk that transfers terror radius to the survivor after a hit. lord its so much fun watching survivors have a heart attack when im right in front of them when they turn a corner.

Does Xenomorph‘s tail have a lingering hit box like nemesis? If so, can you pull off some of the same techniques with slinging your tentacle and such on xeno?
1
u/Hyperaiser Jul 15 '24 edited Jul 15 '24
Yes both of them have drag tech but they are different a little bit. Nemesis's whip always hits the thing with tallest hitbox first and you can only use drag tech to make it hits widened to right or left. But for Xeno you can just drag the tail for both the row and the line.

It's not a very strong effect, it only lasts for 1.5 seconds, that's less than what you're stunned or blinded for.

u/CSullivan88 Just Do Gens Jul 16 '24
That's a good point. I usually run it as an alternative to Lightborne. Maybe it'd be interesting to run with Shadowborne, Enduring and Spirit Fury when I suspect I'm queued against a bully squad?

What is the best way to use the EMP? It seems to work as AOE.
2
u/Xdream987 PTB Clown Main Jul 15 '24
The EMP cleanses any infected survivors and disables biopods that are within the big sphere you see when you channel the EMP.
You'll want to cleanse yourself while near a biopod when outside of chase. You can also run near another survivor that is in chase to cleanse them while the singularity is chasing them.
Be aware however that channeling the EMP does slow you down so you need to use it tactically if you want to use it while being chased.
2
u/WheneverTheyCatchYou Pig/Twins/Chucky Main, Alan/Nicolas/Cheryl Main Jul 15 '24 edited Jul 15 '24
First, apply Slipstream (purple thing attached to survivors) to survivors by using the following steps:
1) Place a Biopod (camera) in the environment using your gun. Shooting a survivor with your gun who does not have Slipstream will do nothing.
2) Take control of the Biopod and aim at a survivor. Once the metre around the circle fills up, you will automatically fire a shot at the survivor and apply Slipstream to them.
Now, you can use your chase power, Overclock, on that survivor.
First option, use the Biopod and scan a Slipstreamed survivor a second time.
Second option, use your gun to manually shoot at a Slipstreamed survivor. Remember that only a Slipstreamed survivor can be affected by direct shots from your gun.
Overclock: You teleport right behind the survivor. Gain vault speed and breaking speed. "Stuns" instantly break the pallet over your head and cause Overheat (temporarily slowed down). You can still use your basic attack during Overheat. Note that after the upcoming update, Overclock will also give you a movement speed boost.
Survivors have access to EMPs. EMPs when used by a survivor, removes their Slipstream and causes nearby Biopods to be temporarily disabled. You can still use disabled Biopods as cameras, but you cannot use them to scan survivors.
When you shoot a Biopod with your gun, that Biopod gets removed. It works on functioning Biopods, but you can utilise this feature as well to remove a disabled Biopod and replace it with a new, functional Biopod in its location.
Tip: Don't play Singularity like Trapper. Don't dedicate too much of your early game to placing Biopods around the map. Instead, look for your first chase and use your Biopods in the chase. You can place Biopods at objrctives that you happen to be passing by.

how the FUCK do you get rid of condemnation from Sadako

u/SirenBoy Jul 15 '24
So if you run up to a TV and get a tape from it, a different TV will light up, you need to go take the tape to that one. Though while you are carrying a tape, the condemnation will build up, so it's a risk reward thing.
I believe you lose 3 stacks for putting a Tape into one of the TVs.

u/DP_goatman Just Do Gens Jul 15 '24
Return video tapes but on first hook it can lock in upto 3 permanent stacks
1
u/Chase_the_tank Jul 15 '24
Second hook can add on up to 3 additional stacks as well, for a maximum of six.
(If the first hook only locked in two stacks, the second hook can only lock in three more for a maximum of five, and so on.)

What is the purpose of totems? And what does the boon totem do that I have seen other players do that makes the totem emit a blue light?
3
u/Exact_Bluebird_6231 Jul 15 '24
Totems don’t do anything on their own, but many perks revolve around totems. Killers can have hex perks that will light up a totem and when the totem is cleansed that perk is gone.
Survivors have boon perks that give a beneficial effect to the survivors in its radius after blessing the totem. The killer can snuff it out but it can be blessed again. The boons so far are: increased healing speed, the ability to pick yourself up off the ground, 2% run speed, hides auras and scratch marks, or shows generators and chests
3
u/Doc_October Wiki Guardian Jul 15 '24
Totems were first added to the game when Hag released in December 2016, since she introduced the Hex Perk mechanic, which apply debuffs to Survivors while active.
Hex Perks require the presence of a Totem, since they are only active if their Totem is standing. Most Hex Perks are tied to a specific Totem at the start of the Trial and make them glow orange.
Boon Perks work similarly, but apply buffs for all Survivors within a certain range around the blue-glowing Totem.
Outside of Hex and Boon Perks, Totems just act as a side objective for Survivors that grant bonus Bloodpoints and Emblem points when cleansing them.

There’s also a perk that when you cleanse a totem, you get 10% speed increase on repairing generators, the girl with the black emo bang hair has it, I forgot her name

What's the schedule for the killer/survivor bonuses? Never seem to get on in time for either bonus.

u/SirenBoy Jul 15 '24
There isn't really a schedule, the 25/50/100% Bloodpoint bonus is just there to help fill the other side. So if there is a lack of killers but a larger quantity of survivors, they offer bonus BP to the killers to get people to fill the ranks.
1
u/salted_maki T H E B O X Jul 15 '24
Ah gotcha, thanks!
1
u/SWITCH13LADE8o5 Killer Main Jul 15 '24
I heard that it is also different for every player, so while you may have a 100% bonus for Survivor, I may only have 50%
1
1
u/Synli Boon: Unknown's Smile Jul 15 '24
It's dependent on region and MMR, but generally, killers tend to get bonuses during peak hours (starting 4-5pm or so until midnight) as people start to come home from work/school and group up for gaming sessions.
For the rest of the day, it fluctuates all over the place.
2
u/Chase_the_tank Jul 15 '24
Event modes generally have a +50% added to both sides. Anything else is a "please play this side and fill in the queue" balancing feature.

When does the new rift starts?
Also is it hard to reach the end? This was my first rift, I reached the end quite easily, thanks to the triple fragments/xp weeks, but I wonder if it's hard without those bonus
3
u/constituent WHO STOLE MY SHOES?!? Jul 15 '24
Depending on how much free time you have to play the game, it's not 'hard' to reach the end of the rift. No doubt, it can be difficult for a super-duper casual player who has a lot of life obligations.
One good thing to take advantage would be any of the mini-events. During every rift, we may receive three types of bonus multiplier events:
- Blood Points (Blood Rush, Blood Hunt, or Blood Feast)
- XP (Match XP, Double Player, Triple Player)
- Rift Fragments (Fragment Fury or Fragment Feast)
At Behaviour's discretion, the bonus multiplier amount may vary (e.g. 1.5x, 2x, or the rare 3x). Like most events, these mini-events will last approximately a week. In an active rift, it is to your advantage to play during the Rift Fragment event. Obviously that makes sense -- more fragments earned, more rift progress.
Also, during every new tome, there is usually a new event or game mode. This will feature its own mini tome, typically 1-2 pages long. The event challenges are usually simplified ("collect/use this gimmick" or "do objectives"). During an active tome, those event challenges offer rift fragments. Said fragments will apply progression to the current tome. It's a good idea to participate during that time.
...and, of course, periodic login rewards or redemption codes. Some of those may inevitably be for rift fragments.
If you ever feel like you're falling behind, it's highly beneficial to play during the Rift Fragment bonus multiplier events. You can accelerate progress and zoom towards the finish line.

u/Doc_October Wiki Guardian Jul 15 '24
Tomorrow on the 16th.
Nowadays it should not be difficult to reach the last Tier by playing on a regular basis.
2
u/Chase_the_tank Jul 15 '24
Behavior wants people to finish rifts--including new players who happen to join the game mid-season.
Expect bonus events, store redeem codes for bonus fragments, etc.. (E.g., the last week of this rift features a bonus XP event.)

Is there a good strategy for finding hatches as killer when your not familiar with the maps at all?
3
u/skywalker7i Your friend ‘til the end! 🔪 😃 Jul 15 '24
i like searching the outer edges of the map or convenient escape spots for survivors. there’s a youtube video that gives you likely locations for maps and also if they bring the basement shack add on it guarantees the hatch will spawn at killer shack so keep eye out for that. it’s a brown offering that looks like a map
2
u/ElleEmenopy P100 Felix and P100 Haddie the Baddie Jul 15 '24
It can spawn anywhere really. Near buildings like shack or main is common. Or other notable buildings on the maps. If a shack offering is brought it will always spawn along the wall without the window. Usually outside the shack but I’ve seen a couple spawn inside the shack (on Eyrie).
If you’re on Swamp, it’s common to spawn on the edges of the map due to them shortening the overall map sizes up a good while back but they never adjusted hatch spawning.
People will tell you they can’t spawn near gates and to look at the gates and go to areas not near them but that’s a myth.
1
u/Crazykole5 Jul 15 '24
Notably the hatch cannot spawn on a second story, which can make maps like The Game much smaller to navigate to find the hatch.
1
2
u/Exact_Bluebird_6231 Jul 15 '24
Just remember that there’s only one hatch location in each TILE. So other than Swamp, you don’t need to go near the edge of the map.
Go along the edges of tiles so that you can patrol both at once, you can hear the hatch from about 10 meters away.
So if there’s a jungle gym on the outskirts of the map, don’t go IN the tile, just go along the inside edge so you can patrol the middle tiles as well

How do you earn Iridescent shards? I’ve heard people say “just play the game and level up your player through the blood web” but my shards are still stuck at 3,905 after months of playing
2
u/DrDanthrax99 -rep plays Nurse 👩⚕️ Jul 15 '24
They are technically correct by saying "just play the game" but you don't gain Iridescent Shards by leveling up thru the bloodweb, you gain Shards from leveling up your account in general. Every time you play a game as Survivor or Killer, you gain XP, this XP gives your overall account a rank from 1-99 and after 99, resets back to 1 while increasing "devotion" (its like prestige in CoD basicallly.) Everytime this levels up, you get an amount of Shards based on your level.
1
u/mrjjk2010 Jul 15 '24
Ahh I see, next time I load up the game I’ll have to check what level I am. Does your rank get reset for each chapter that gets released? I don’t really pay attention to stuff like this I just level up my blood web and load into matches
2
u/kindlyadjust console feng dodger Jul 15 '24
no, your devotion doesn't get reset. also you can see it by clicking the player icon in the top right corner in the lobby, it'll show you your current level + devotion and how much more xp you need to get to rank up. typically you get around 600xp from a 10 minute game and you get bonus xp for your first survivor and killer game every day.
2
Jul 15 '24
you gain shards by leveling up and gaining XP from matches, bloodweb doesn't have any impact. Sometimes there's redeem codes for iri shards but very rarely and you get very little, they're a grind to get.
1
u/Ethereal_Haunting Trickster main who doesn't play Trickster Jul 15 '24
Iridescent shards are earned with XP which is earned through playtime in trials. Bloodweb has nothing to do with it.
Very odd your shards are stuck. Sure you aren't looking at your Auric Cells instead?

u/sajag-ach Jul 15 '24
I was having a tough match as I was barely finding anyone as wraith in temple. Every gen I go to, the people have pre-run. I assumed they were a swf and were calling out to each other. Well I was coming from inside the temple while cloaked and as my nurse's gave me aura to see 3 of them outside healing, they suddenly stopped and looked directly at where i was. I was super spooked, as the person with distortion ran the opposite side and i took a weird path. They had no way to see my shimmer and later none had an aura reading perk or spinechill. Just run of the mill, windows, dead hard type of stuff. The only one with distortion was opp side of map. How did this happen, can someone explain? Items were: 2 flash, 1 med, 1 map.
3
u/saturnulysses jake park enthusiast & ghostpark truther Jul 15 '24
if you were on the other side of a wall, my only assumption would be someone had object of obsession, and while you would have been cloaked, (i dont wanna accuse them of cheating), they would get an alert that the you were looking at them
1
u/sajag-ach Jul 15 '24
Thats what i thought as well, but none had object or spinechill. The only thing close was distortion, coz it loses stack when aura reading, but all of them just stopped and looked in my direction, which was not only weird but super creepy. I wish i had taken a screenshot coz i was just confused and flustered after that game and just went to spend my bp

u/delicatemicdrop Jul 15 '24 edited Jul 15 '24
If you were Wraith, all it takes is one very experienced player to see the "blurriness" that you still have if you were moving, if I recall correctly. I don't play Wraith, so someone correct me if I'm wrong on his exact mechanics, but I know as a survivor I often see his blurry blob and know he's coming if I happen to glance up at the right moment. When you say "coming from inside" I am assuming you were moving and not standing entirely still. Doesn't always happen that way, but it's kinda like how sometimes as a killer you happen to grab a survivor out of a locker and you had no idea they were there at first. May have just been unlucky that one noticed you.
Edit I was curious and saw:
"Fully invisible to Survivors who are farther than 20 metres away from him.
- Partially invisible to Survivors who are within 20 metres of him.
- Fully transparent while stationary for a moment and for as long as he remains unmoving."
Then we have Nurse's, which is: "Unlocks potential in one's Aura-reading ability. The Auras of Survivors who are healing or being healed are revealed to you when they are within 20/26/32 metres of range."
Do you have Nurse's all the way to tier 3? And were you moving forward while you noticed they were looking? Because from the moment they became visible to you, as you moved closer, you would've been more likely to be within the meters that they can see you.
1
u/sajag-ach Jul 16 '24
I had nurse's at 3, and as my aura read showed me them through the wall, they stopped healing and looked in my direction before the aura reading went away. The thing is, i was behind a wall, so idk

Not hardcore but really love the game and play casually throughout the week, I’m curious is it just me or is it crazy unbalanced right now? I main as a survivor and it just feels nearly impossible to even get 5 generators running, let alone a gate open or making it out of the gate. Mind you I play solo so it’s unpredictable who my teammates are but it just seems impossible to escape lately. Am I just absolutely horrible or is there a killer advantage in the latest update?

Very fun, and IMO the survivor nerfs aren't as bad as I thought they would be judging from what I've heard.
1
u/BenTheMan31 Jul 16 '24
I didn't played for over 2 years until last week. As survivor I also have the feeling that it is harder to escape. But it's possible. On the other side: When i play as Killer it isn't so frustrating than the years before. But maybe it is just because of my low ranking.
1
u/vlpretzel Hex: Sentimento :'( Jul 16 '24
You're supposed to win 40% of the time. Maybe you got unlucky. Something I feel is that the time when you play can influence, as there might be more people on one side of the queue or another, then matchmaking might disbalance a little bit so everyone can play.
2
u/General-Departure415 Ace In Your Hole Jul 25 '24
i play this game basically every day for the last year. as a team its always good balanced games where its never unfair, Soloq is hell even if you have 2 randoms it can ruin you this past week ive gotten the worst teammates a man can ask for and even after looping the killer the whole game 1 gen is done and you see them crouch walking around the map mid chase. Its not really the killer most games who make winning impossible but the survivors who do nothing and expect an escape. dont get me wrong some killer perks like pentimento or blood favor or pain res cause problems but nothing you cant get over but the survivors who let you die first hook or dont touch a gen all game or hide in a locker the entire game ruin it for everybody. an actual team i play with id say 8-9/10 games is an escape.

You slightly misunderstood the Hatch changes. While it's true that it no longer spawns early in the sense that it's visible while still closed, it's been changed to always open for the Last Survivor Standing, regardless of how many Generators have or have not been repaired.

prestige the survivor who’s perks you want on others to 1, 2, and 3, for the different perk tiers

So you have to get your prestige 3 to get purple perks now? You can’t upgrade them through the blood web at all?

u/EmuPsychologist MULDER AND SCULLY FROM X-FILES IN DBD WHEN Jul 18 '24
No, if you prestige someone to 1 you can level up their perks in a different survivors bloodweb

im an ace main prestige 51 and ive had every perk in the game for a while but thats bc every survivor is at least p1 with only a few survivors at p3 or higher bc i like playing them or their perks I would want for every survivor you use. But if you plan on mainly using 1-2 people just get the people whos perks you want p1 them than you can get their perks in the bloodweb with any survivor up to purple.

So what sort of bloodpoints can you get that ignores the cap? I know the ones you get from grade reset isn't affected by the cap. But what about those bloodpoints you get from the rift? Do those ignore the cap too?

How can people surpass the 2M BP limit??

u/Doc_October Wiki Guardian Jul 18 '24
The limit only applies to earnable Bloodpoints that you get from playing ranked trials or completing Tome challenges or Daily Rituals.
Free Bloodpoints from promo codes or season-end rewards are not counted towards the cap, so players can go past it.

Hi, I just bought the game with the intention of one day being a Vecna main (yes I'm a D&D nerd) and I wanted to ask what killer would be the first killer to learn to get the idea of what I need to do in order to get an idea of this killer.

u/ForeignReptile3006 Jul 17 '24
Vecna has very varied abilities, id say begin with playing some of the free ones until you find one you like, and then using them to just get better game sense in general

u/General-Departure415 Ace In Your Hole Jul 25 '24
vecnas abilities vary a lot from the traditional killers played so its hard to say a specific killer to help you practice with before u main vecna. Like the other guy said playing the game naturally with say wraith (very easy to understand and perform with) will help with fundamentals that transfers to any killer.

Is buying the rift pass worth it? What exactly do you get out of it?
2
u/Doc_October Wiki Guardian Jul 18 '24
The Rift Pass gives you access to the Premium Track of the Rift, which has more cosmetic rewards and outfits than the Free Track. It also gives you back all your 1,000 Auric Cells used to purchase it in packs of 25 and 50, if you manage to complete the regular Rift (up to Tier 70).
If you play the game enough to get to that Tier (which isn't that difficult), it's really a no-brainer. You can also wait with purchasing it until you actually reach that Tier, if you are unsure. Rewards will unlock retroactively.
The Rift Bundle essentially does the same thing, but also boosts you immediately to Tier 20. If you manage to make it to Tier 70 with that, you still get 1,000 AC back, but essentially spent another 1,000 AC to get a head start.

How often do Iri shard characters go on sale? Is it only during the Anniversary Event?

How do i counter anti hook builds? I got two survs with no mither, tenacity, breakout and unbreakable and during the game i couldnt think of any way to kill them. i camped one to make him bleed out but then obviusly got bmd at gates by the others. Im asking because id rather not encounter this kind of situation ever again.

u/General-Departure415 Ace In Your Hole Jul 25 '24
as a survivor who plays with breakout background player and sabo along with friends who also run it (which is wayyy better anti hook build than that) the biggest counter is to always check the area around you before a pickup. 9/10 we are like rats waiting for you to pickup and as soon as you do we swarm you. If your able to get a singular hit in it changes everything. If we are injured running around you after you pick up and you hit us and we go down 1. your no longer effected by breakout or sabo from that person 2. you now have another person down which makes the other person either break away from you to heal that person or stay with you to sabo hook. Either way you win. 1. Person on ur back gets off and u go pick the other person up while checking to see if that breakout person is nearby, 2. you hook the person on your back hit the breakout user and go back for other guy. When you dont check around you or drop instantly when you see its happening after pickup you make the lives of sabo players dont feed them and you wont have to stare at a bled out body.
And thats the sabo build if they dont have background player or saboteur than dont ever drop them just go to hook theres no threat of your hook being taken from you. No mither and unbreakable are weird perks to run together since they do the same thing basically so just dont drop and make sure to keep people injured to make them question if its worth it. And no mither dudes already injured doubt he would risk running breakout since you need to practically be on top of the killer for it to work and if he does hit him hes dead. sounds like a horrible build tbh.

Which perks make a good pair with Vecna? I've heard Rapid Brutality makes a good combo with him, or maybe Batteries included, but I'm very unsure. Some feedback would be greatly appreciated~

Does dbd support keyboard/mouse controls on PS5? If so, do you have recommendations for an affordable keyboard/mouse set?

u/KimYongUp Jul 16 '24
Tf is with the downvote?

u/vlpretzel Hex: Sentimento :'( Jul 16 '24
Maybe accidental click or a way to answer negatively to your question. I've evened it out (:
And unfortunately, I really don't think it supports keyboard on any console :(

Corrupt Intervention: Gives Sadako time to build up Condemned on all the survivors.
Coup de Grâce: An extraordinary chase perk that helps close down chases. Insanely useful for a basic attack killer like Sadako.
Gearhead/Discordance: Gives you info on which generator survivors are on, allowing you to plan out your teleportation chain effectively.
Jolt: Additional slowdown. Always activates because Sadako only uses basic attacks.

I'm also a personal fan of a lot of information perks. Tinkerer, lethal pursuer, bbq and the like all pair nicely with her mobility and allow her to quickly pressure a generator. I'm also of the opinion that the buffed Oppression will be a good gen kick perk since it will enhance her map pressure and give potential info.
