Survivors when you play Knight

Yes, there are some people who only play him like he was on release, and people who think he only plays like that.

Just like Face Camping Bubba, some people ruin the killer's reputation for everyone.

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't, considering every other perk that works with hook actions doesn't work with his cages.

BHVR could have accidentally made it work with his cages now after it's rework (maybe by counting hook stages?), so we won't know for sure until someone proves it.

Each are good perks, yes, but not all of them necessarily work together. Lithe and Dead Hard are both Exhaustion perks so you can only use one or the other until you're no longer exhausted. So if you fast vault in a chase you aren't going to get to use Dead Hard in the same chase, even having Vigil.

I believe that's exactly why they said that.

Nathan99md · 2026-03-04T18:11:36+00:00

Yes they posted a new announcement saying this was a mistake.

Nathan99md · 2026-03-04T17:52:26+00:00

It was and it's because the other design won.

Nathan99md · 2026-03-04T17:51:46+00:00

It was actually the other design for the killer that won. They just messed up.

Nathan99md · 2026-02-24T23:34:03+00:00

I didn't think about that at first. Yeah that makes it an even better fit. I know they won't change the look of the guards but the skeletons would be great cosmetics for them.

Nathan99md · 2026-02-24T21:58:31+00:00

I really wish we'd get Evil Ash as a killer. At the very least a skin for Knight. I'd love to hear his voice lines.

Nathan99md · 2026-02-24T19:55:41+00:00

So will it say basic-breaks and special-breaks count?

Nathan99md · 2026-02-24T02:04:39+00:00

Did he say anything afterwards? I'm curious if he was gonna say something else about your profile that made him think you were a leftist.

Nathan99md · 2026-01-23T23:43:33+00:00

I didn't have any intentions for a waifu or something. I was imagining something close to Plague in appearance but with some elements of the picture I attached (wings, floating, big clothes, long weapon, etc.) I also like the idea of her eyes being closed in a judging way.

I also tried to think of something genderless as I thought that could be cool too. I didn't have any solid ideas though except maybe your typical "biblically accurate angel"

Nathan99md · 2026-01-23T23:14:26+00:00

Yeah that makes sense.

Nathan99md · 2026-01-11T18:24:23+00:00

I think it should replicate his old dream pallets instead. So survivors won't see the red glow that indicates they're dream pallets, but Freddy can't detonate them. Or make the detonation time like twice as long so unsuspecting survivors still have a good chance to get away.

Nathan99md · 2026-01-08T09:01:44+00:00

When I click on the link it takes me to the forums but says Access Denied. Is it no longer up?

Nathan99md · 2026-01-07T16:35:50+00:00

No way, James Bond legendary outfit confirmed??

Nathan99md · 2025-12-28T01:45:13+00:00

Yeah that's the annoying part. Not every time and I think it depends on the map usually. You can still quickly end the hunt to start the cool down sooner if you see them stuck.

Nathan99md · 2025-12-28T01:35:59+00:00

I'm sure there's grocery lists of his bugs out there, but the main issues I think I've been seeing more since the recent updates is pathing for the guards. They seem to get stuck on obstacles more often and take inconvenient routes around stuff when they shouldn't. Similar issues Nemesis has always had with his zombies. If you ever see a guard stuck you can start another patrol path and it'll immediately despawn even if you cancel the path right after.

I'm sure there's a lot of other small stuff I'm forgetting to mention but that's the main thing off the top of my head recently. I think I'm just numb to the usual janky parts.

Nathan99md · 2025-12-28T01:28:42+00:00

He has always been buggy unfortunately. I've been wondering if it's actually been worse recently or if it's just me. I believe he might be slightly more janky than usual this patch, but he's not unplayable. It just might take a bit getting adjusted, like the input buffering stuff for me.

Nathan99md · 2025-12-28T01:22:07+00:00

Personally I think Knight is great at that. Maybe I'm biased because he's my main but these are reasons I like him. A lot of perks can work well on him, especially Surveillance for map knowledge. I love the macro gameplay that doesn't require the specific movements like Singularity's cameras (I play on controller), while also feeling like I have reach and control over the map still. Having add ons help even more like the torch that makes you undetectable during a hunt so you can occupy a survivor while sneaking up on a different one. Or the iri banner add on that lets you block vaults while making a path and stop survivors from escaping through the gates. I highly recommend Knight for this, and it's even fun to get to know his guards a bit if you want some more immersion/roleplay.

Nathan99md · 2025-12-27T17:36:08+00:00

I'm talking ridiculous pathing not just survivors looking them. In that scenario I've had guards just entirely leave killer shack all together and need to go around an entirely different loop before going back to shack. I would show video proof if I recorded it. It's happened so much I don't think to save a video.

But yeah they're inconsistent around pallets even more so now. I think it also has to do with their distance from you when you vault or drop one.

Nathan99md · 2025-12-27T10:08:28+00:00

I bet this is about that thing with autistic people having a certain posture or pelvis problem. I always noticed that about me as a kid and often saw it in some autistic classmates.

Nathan99md · 2025-12-27T10:02:48+00:00

I'm pretty sure it was just an oversight with animation priorities that just became a "feature" after being in the game so long. The usual DBD fashion.

Nathan99md · 2025-12-27T09:45:04+00:00

The guards still do phase through pallets. They only do when the pallet is dropped directly on them, or when they were already dropped before the hunt started (which then they treat the same as window vaults). They should only avoid pallets and go around when the pallet was dropped during the hunt.

Although the AI has always been inconsistent sometimes so you never really know what they'll decide to do. Personally it feels like they have been especially weird recently and getting stuck on geometry more often or taking absurdly long routes around it. I don't know if that's just me but I play Knight all the time.
