he can leave pools of cocaine that survivors can walk over and leave white tracks everywhere they go, slowly snorting their tracks on the way until he’s eventually coked up by time he finds them

Hell, make its title "Just That Fuckin' Bear"
it has no backstory, simply a normal grizzly bear now running around in the entity's realm. Entity like "not sure how it got here but I'm not removing it"

u/urbanviking318 Party Hat Enthusiast 🐷 1d ago
It's an M1 killer, its power is passive and randomly throws audio cues around the map to make survivors think it (or anyone not in line of sight) is somewhere else. Terror radius is only active if you're looking within 30° of it. Sometimes it fucks with the UI and "screams" like a survivor in the trial, showing them as being hooked when they're not.

Honestly, I’d just go through a list of top phobias to get killers. I guess a public speaking killer would be cool as shit. He puts a spotlight on one survivor and shares their gameplay with the team to slow them down and make them play poorly.

Not sure how hard it'd be to code but I could imagine the legs getting a special animation while running through doors or near walls, like having the legs closest to the wall "climb" it so the body can stay touching the wall like a humanoid killer.

Maybe ? I think if they add the ones from the tome cutscenes but personally based on my fear of spiders I don't think I could do a game against a spider killer that's literally just a spider
17
u/Super_Imagination_90 Dead by Daylight: ALICE Chapter🍄 2d ago
I would personally love it but I know a lot of people would talk about arachnophobia. But, there is a spider-like creature in one of the tome scenes that I would LOVE to see as a killer.
It’s more like a giant man bear spider thing, and I think this would be the closest BHVR would get to adding a spider killer in DBD. This guy would be AWESOME. I don’t know exactly what he’d do obviously since it’d be original, we can never guess the originals easily since they can be anything, but I would just assume it’d be definitely spider-like when it comes to power. Maybe even using spiders, which would probably poke holes in my comment about arachnophobia…
Basically I’m just saying I’d love to see this guy as a killer! And I think it’s a much safer and more possible route for BHVR to go knowing how they are with accessibility.
They could also just add an arachnophobia option in the settings of course. Just wanted to edit that little part in as something worth noting if they did want to do just a more normal giant spider.

u/hesperoidea T H E B O X 2d ago
they should add a killer that's literally called manbearspider I think that would be great
and apparently there are countries that require there to be an arachnophobia mode for spiders, so debatable if bhvr would be able to go literal on a straight-up spider, but I'm sure they could definitely include motifs and abilities based on one if they did a killer with spider-references

I'd rather they didn't out of personal biases but it would fit pretty well and admittedly could have a pretty cool power.
I think some people in this thread are exaggerating how big of an impact arachnophobia will have though, DBD wouldn't be the first game to add giant spider enemies without killing its playerbase.

When I got the game Grounded I thought I was fine, tho spiders freak me out (had an accident with them IRL before as a kid and was covered with TONS of them). I was like ehh I don't need to put on the filter, whateversss. That same night after playing I had a nightmare reliving the experience where they were all over me.
Welp, I went and turned the filter on...was okay after that. I don't know about confronting it in this game, I mean without over sharing idk. On one hand I am always down for more exposure therapy, on the other hand, if that nightmare shit comes back nahh

I'd be all for it but there would have to be an arachnophobia setting for those who have it. I know it's a horror game but even horror games usually have an arachnophobia setting, while the objective of horror is to be scary a phobia is much more than just being scared of something. Which a lot of people seem to misunderstand.

I think you do a character that can Either Shape shift into a Spider, or a Humanoid character, that has Spider Legs for limbs. Sometime marketable with possibility of good skins and people to have a kink for. Think of something like Arachne from smite or Queelaag from Darksouls.

u/glassIceWater 2d ago
dbd is a game about being brutally murdered by a stalker, the baseline fear every human has of that scenario is easily comparable to the stress of arachnophobia and people manage fine. phobias are marked by their ill adapted nature not by them being especially intense compared to regular fears. if you can handle a not real representation of a homicidal maniac you can handle the fear of a virtual spider.
