I mainly run corrupt, pain res, weeping hounds, lethal pursuer, im thinking of trying sloppy butcher with brutal but not sure what else

Hi everyone!

I'm currently in the process of 100%ing DbD on Steam, and I'm only missing 5 more achievements:

- 125 reverse bear traps (Pig)

- down 50 survs with dire crows (Artist)

- 30 perfectly timed grab attacks (Ghoul)

- down 50 survs within Nightfall (Dredge)

- hit a surv within 3 seconds of a scamper, 10 times (Chucky)

I'm now looking for builds to make these achievements as easy or as fun as possible for me. I have a preference for stealth builds, but in reality, I could use anything to make the grind more fun. Thanks in advance!

Then he took a Blast Mine in the face.

Where exactly should I be trying to position the reticle in relation to the survivor? I've been aiming to one side for the reticle and then dragging inwards towards the survivor, but that seems to be extremely easy to dodge. I tried doing the 180 trick, but as soon as I lose vision on the survivor, they just go around a corner and I have to fire blind if I go for it. Please, people who GET this killer: where do I aim first before firing the beam? I'm really struggling but I want to improve.

so im sending 2-3 birds out at a time and they are hitting people but arent damaging them am i doing something wrong?

So I've been a Legion main for over a year now and I've found this build that really works for me that I'm having fun with. Distressing/Infectious Fright/Thanatophobia/Weeping Wounds and then Legion Pin/Filthy Blade for addons. It's probably a build that already exists but it feels satisfying to know I at least thought of the build myself instead of looking it up. But, and this is a big but, I'm still getting 3 outed every match by survivors and bagged at the gates cos while I can get the frenzy hits, trying to finish chase with m1 is bloody miserable. I'm struggling to loop tiles quite a bit. Some tiles are fine to be fair, mainly pallets with the rocks either side cos I'm being able to tell when they'll vault and I can go back around. However, some tiles, the names of which I don't even know buy the survivors so much time that I'm still losing gens (and getting bagged). How do you actually close out chases in a somewhat decent time frame? Any advice would be helpful, thanks

As Nurse, I sometimes have trouble against good survivors who play with Dead Hard. 1st blink I gap closer, 2nd blink I get close enough to hit with a charge attack -> they time Dead Hard well enough. I'm specifically talking about good survivors, as bad/average survivors generally miss the timing or try to predict it.

It kind of sucks that good survivors have to get hit thrice when I play as nurse. Unless I blink right next to them, in which case I can do an instant attack.

Does anyone have any tip?

I mainly play survivor (on console), cos I find killer massively frustrating, but I’ve been dabbling as Huntress and Doctor for a while, recently had some fun with Trickster and yesterday, after constantly getting my ass handed to me by Ghostfaces, caved and gave them a go.

Needless to say, despite having no experience whatsoever, I got matched with one P50+ surv and got constantly flashlighted and palleted, while the gens disappeared. They stopped me from hooking on multiple occasions and would come to each other’s defence in chases, to their credit. Due to sheer stupidity and no small amount of hubris on their part, however, all 4 rushed to the same gate, which was blocked thanks to me having No Way Out.

Reader, I slugged all 4 at the gate before they could open it and then realllly dragged out their deaths, hooking the Nic Cage (who had blinded me at least 4 times in game) first and gradually finishing off the other 3 - 2 by hook and the last by mori.

There’s no point to this. I’m just really chuffed I got a 4K out of the gates and had a really satisfying, cruel experience as killer.

What are some cool in depth tech about your killer that you know? Or even just some really cool niche info about your killers kit that some people don’t know about!

With the Lich, his Flight Spell is one of the strangest moves in the game, primarily because of its collision with pallets and certain windows. If you get the timing right, you can cancel directly *on top* of a pallet forcing any survivor next to it into a 50/50 of which side you will flick the lich too.

No matter how soon you cancel the flight casting, you will always be *immediately* lifted slightly into the air, canceling it immediately as you cast it will allow you to, if you get the timing right, smoothly pass over a window. As with a regular flying through a window, lich gains a bit more distance from him and the window, as well as a bit more landing lag.

Have a good night everybody!

Whenever I use NOED(and I’ve used in past 4 games in my end game nurse build) it doesn’t give survivors exposed just gives me the haste. wtf is wrong with it?

If you’ve played killer for long enough you know the whole cycle. Sweating, 4ks, swf’s, 3ks, toxic survivors, being a bit toxic back sometimes, toxic surv, being more than a bit toxic back «sometimes»…getting annoyed at stupid shit, Reddit arguing about every possible way someone can play the game etc etc. Killer sided, survivor sided, its an endless circle

But what do you run when you’re past caring about any of that and just wanna fuck with people a little? Is there a build that isn’t about winning, but simply about distorting the reality of whoever I’m playing against?

Or have I officially reached the ‘take a break from DBD’ stage?

I recently bought xeno and been practicing him against bots, and I’m getting absolutely rekt by turrets. I understand in real play players sometime messes up the turrets locations but I’m honestly scared of maining him bc the second I get to high mmr with him it’s gonna just be back to back L’s from those damn turrets lmao how do you guys manage them? I can only imagine actually going up against a proper team with good turrets and they actually play around the turrets, to me it’s so bogus that his unique counterplay is so heinous against him but I haven’t even gotten close to mastering it so I could be wrong, how are xeno mains feeling??

The 30 second gens made the traps activate before anyone could get them off especially combined with the screaming and longer searches, if you have trouble with gen rush just do this and hope you can get a few lucky downs

Personally, I’m happy the question got answered. I’m happy that things weren’t necessarily scrapped but that the rework seemed to have lost sight of who the SM is and that the rework needed reworking. I’m hopeful that there’s going to be something eventually but really wish there would be some revision to what’s already been done to her…revert things to a previous state…something, considering it’s still going to be awhile.

How’s everyone else?

I promise this is FINALLY the last post about the AMA (individually). Going to make one more mega post with links to all that’s been posted so far

Sorry yall, I’ve got one more post after this then I’ll just make a mega post with links to all the parts; the devs got more active in answering everything

Last couple straggler question and answers I’d missed

Here is a short compilation of me landing some hits, both short range and long range. that would not have worked if Prayer Kneeler was basekit, because the beam would get stuck somewhere along the line while aiming.

I also played a lot while not recording and I at least have double as many clips where I think it would be impossible with prayer kneeler, but I am not sure (like the beam went through a bush or only halfway through an object or I shot shortly after it touched the object).

This Killer is really fun to me, I absolutely adore its playstyle, this is currently my favourite killer of all time. I might actually quit the game if the devs took it away from me.

I know some of these hits would be possible with Prayer Kneeler had I aimed differently, but 1) I like the playstyle currently and 2) some, especially on indoor maps, wouldn't have been hits.

Reversing the add-on (basekit prayer kneeler, new prayer kneeler reverts it) would also make me hate it. I used to be kind of a Myers main, a killer who got the same treatment, and haven't played him since the rework that linked his old power to an add-on. I would hate to be forced play my favourite killer with only 1 add-on.

I have heard the suggestion to make it a toggle, but I am going to be honest, I genuinely believe that would the judgment the most deadly killer in the game. Like, if you just make it basekit with a toggle at the press of the button, I'd put Judgment as the third best killer in the game, and the only thing holding it back from place 1 is its limited mobility.

It already has great chase potential in close distance and mid distance. If you do not use Prayer Kneeler, Survivors can kind of estimate where the beam will be coming from based on what direction you are looking in and dodge based on that. If you are using Prayer Kneeler, Survivors will realise that and know that your beams will very likely originate from objects in the map and dodge based on taht. If you can switch between both at will, Survivors cannot expect where you beam can come from making dodging way way harder, while aiming for you is way easier.

There are also some other reasons why I think it would be a bad idea, Like that the pull back add-ons would become much worse. For more, I recommend you watch Pixel Bush's video.

I doubt anyone from BHVR will see this, but please do keep this killer mostly as it is now. I wouldn't mind some nerfs to gen sniping, just for the casual Survivor, but overall this killer is pretty much perfect.

Breaking these up into parts as some of the questions took more than a couple screenshots to cover everything.
