After taking in your feedback, we have made a few changes following our most recent Public Test Build (PTB).


  • [NEW] Adding a banner spawn time multiplier based on patrol path length, up to 2x.
Dev note: It was difficult to take advantage of the guard chase time multiplier as the Survivor could quickly grab the banner to escape the guard and negate the bonus.
To make longer patrol paths more effective, we are applying a similar multiplier to banner spawn times. This means the banner will take longer to appear for longer patrol paths, up to double the normal time.

Content The Good Guy - Addons Power Drill
  • Hidey-Ho Mode cooldown reduced by 10% after hitting a Survivor with Slice & Dice. (was 15%)
Automatic Screwdriver
  • Missing a Slice & Dice reduces Hidey-Ho Cooldown by 8%. (was 10%)
Dev note: Currently, The Good Guy's Power incorrectly starts to recharge as soon as the Slice & Dice attack is started rather than after it finishes, making his Power recharge much faster than intended. This will be corrected in the near future. In the meantime, we have toned down these Add-Ons to make sure they don't get out of hand. They will return to their normal strength once this is resolved.

That's unfortunately one thing I am not, as I lack the actual hardware to stream or make videos effectively. The one time I did stream DBD, under a dozen people watched as I had 12 FPS on the recording (despite my game running a smooth framerate), and apparently only my voice as audio lol.

It's great to see your interest in joining the program, but unfortunately there is no way to apply at this time. The program is invite only: Each of our consultants are hand picked experts from the community. All positions are filled at the moment, but some spots may open up in the future.

A few of the things we look for in a consultant are:
  • Trustworthy, as they are given information early
  • A wide range of experience within the game (and ideally experts in certain areas)
  • Able to provide constructive feedback
  • Able to maintain a civil discussion with people who have differing opinions
  • Able to set aside biases when giving feedback or acknowledge that their biases may be influencing their opinions

If/when the time comes to bring on new consultants, we'll be looking for players who showcase those characteristics!

What is that? It’s The Unknown(‘s data). In its debut month, The Unknown climbed to a 64% kill rate and a 10% usage rate.

An average of 5.76 hallucinations were dispelled per match. If you’re having a hard time facing The Unknown, be sure to dispel those hallucinations! Dispelling hallucinations prevents The Unknown from teleporting to them.


As with any new Killer, The Unknown shot to the top of the most popular Killers list. The Hillbilly, meanwhile, has now settled at a respectable 4% usage following his recent update.


After the introduction of the generator regression limit, we kept a close eye on the system to see how i... Read more

It’s been about a week since the Tools of Torment Public Test Build (PTB) went live, and we’ve been busy combing through your feedback in the days since. Today, we’d like to share a large package of polish and balance adjustments which we’ve prepared for the Chapter’s release on March 7th.

As always, we want to give our appreciation for everyone who took the time to share their thoughts on this new content. Your feedback is invaluable in shaping the game!

Now, without further ado…


The Skull Merchant First up, deploying a drone to begin with. In the PTB, releasing a drone would put your power on cooldown for 12.5 seconds. This could feel a little limiting considering drones already cannot be placed within a certain range of one another. We’ve decoupled deploying drones from the power’s cooldown. The cooldown i...
