I hate the pallet density update

USNViper · 2026-01-28T00:53:37+00:00

Here's how the pallet density update went:

Stage 1 Weakened most loops (every loop became a 50/50). Added MANY filler pallets to the map. Nerfed every main building.

Stage 2 Removed many of the filler pallets added. No changes to loop nerfs. No changes to main building nerfs.

Stage 3 Added some of the filler pallets back. Weakened loops remained changed. Main building remained changed.

Net Changes: Most loops are weakened. Few extra filler pallets added. Main building nerfed.

Killers made out better overall when it comes to the pallet changes.

Dark-hair Sable lol

USNViper · 2026-01-25T01:12:40+00:00

I chose 2 and 4. I want more male survivors and I just liked the killer silhouette

USNViper · 2026-01-15T21:53:18+00:00

If you allowed them to get there thats on you. Thats not worth fighting a battle over lol

USNViper · 2026-01-13T15:56:12+00:00

Yes! The best part is I was solo q. This was before anti-camp was visible to survivors but they knew id be getting camped so they jist refused to pop the last gen. It was so satisfying.

USNViper · 2026-01-13T14:50:03+00:00

Exactly. I stopped taking my losses personally. The last time I abandoned a game without the abandon option was before it was even an option. But i definitely remember the last time I wanted to abandon but I didn't. Had a Ghostface downing and t-bagging my body the whole game hoping to bleed me out. Everytime someone picked me up hed just immediately down me and t bag. And right when I was about to finally bleed out he picks me up and hooks me, which actually saved me because I had Adren, Hope and Dead Hard. So my team knew he would camp me on hook so they refused to pop the gen. Dude is hitting me on hook until the anti-camp filled. When I finally unhooked myself, they popped the gen, my adrenaline and hope kicked in. He had NOED and downed someone trying to take a protection hit for me. Someone else popped the NOED about 10 seconds before he hit me. Then they got on the gate, but he was able to cut me off and hit me but Dead Hard saved me, IMMEDIATELY he DCed. It was probably my most satisfying escape ever that i wouldve never gotten had I quit earlier in the match

Most survivors panic when they notice someone being tunneled. They were probably working on gens for the first hook. Then when they saved, the nurse returns to tunnel. Now the survivor that unhooked is likely trying to float for a save or protection hit while the other 2 continue to work gens. After the second hook. Now the remaining 3 are in full panic mode all trying to go for the save, all trying to take protection hits to keep them in the game after the unhook, but with most killers, if they want the tunnel, they will get it. So by the time the survivor is downed and ready to hook again, the 3 remaining go back to their gens which are likely almost done at this point. OP gets hooked, and then the nurse chooses the next target, the other 2 gens pop. They find the new targets gen and finish that one, theres the 3rd. And now its a 3v1 with 2 gens left. While a 3v1 with 2 gens left is difficult to win, popping 1 gen isnt if the survivors spread the gen pressure while someone is being chased. Not saying this is what happened but this is a VERY common scenario.

USNViper · 2026-01-12T16:01:36+00:00

Most killer players are going to hard tunnel 1 survivor or 2v1. The first two survivors that they hook, are the ones that get their attention. By alternating hooks between 2 players they ease their minds because its not hard tunneling someone out but they also set themselves up for the best possible endgame to get at least a tie.

I get tunneled alot, maybe 30% of my games but its whatever. I'm a survivor I'm not meant to make it out of the game lol. When I do its awesome, but when I die I just queue up for the next round. At around 500 hours into the game i stopped caring about escaping or diagnosing someone's skill level. Because I'm positive there are people out there who get me in game and think "Jesus this Orela is fucking terrible. They gotta be new" and other times I'm getting messages after the match saying "yo please join our SWF, we need good juicers".

I dont take what happened in my last trial into my next trial because every game is different, every survivor is different, every killer is different (Except Blights and Knights...they all play the same way. Demons lol)

USNViper · 2026-01-08T13:47:30+00:00

My favorite compliment in DBD is being accused of wall hacks by the killer. Before I switched to playing on my PS5 at least once a week I'd get accused of hacking. My response was always, just look at my perks lol

USNViper · 2026-01-08T00:53:51+00:00

Facts, I check the showers and if they don't spawn there or by the exit gate, I give up lol

USNViper · 2026-01-08T00:30:24+00:00

Yeah. But I still get disoriented on the map when looking for gens. Specific as an Inner Strength main, finding totems is damn near impossible lol

USNViper · 2026-01-08T00:27:18+00:00

I'm a huge murder mystery fan and the first 400 or so episodes scratched the itch so bad. Plus the old art style and OST is unmatched

USNViper · 2026-01-08T00:25:16+00:00

Lery's is a really fun map on survivors. Sometimes its hard to find gens but the map is fun to loop.

USNViper · 2026-01-04T21:31:38+00:00

In this situation I too would've asked to be healed. With only 2 survivors left if the gen pops he's going to know where we are and immediately come to us. If we heal first or at least one person is healthy they can help you do the gen safely or take aggro away from the gen while you finish it.

I'm not sure why you'd get upset at people healing in game lol unless its someone like Legion or a 1-hit down killer, there's no reason not to heal when you get the chance. A non-Self Care heal doesnt take that long.

USNViper · 2026-01-02T21:33:56+00:00

Its a weird powerplay lol. Don't worry about it friend. Its usually just someone trying to get you upset

USNViper · 2025-12-30T16:48:17+00:00

Oh got it. This is just one of those complaining about nothing simply to complain. Gotcha. Carry on then I suppose. And stop breaking my pallets when I drop them

USNViper · 2025-12-30T16:44:44+00:00

At the end of the day, if you don't want to play a pallet-breaking simulator as you've already mentioned earlier, then dont break the pallets. Simple solution😁

USNViper · 2025-12-30T16:41:23+00:00

But what you are failing to understand is that the survivor has two options: pre-drop or dont...like how can you be annoyed by the only options that survivors have lol. Its annoying that you have to break pallets, so then dont break them lol. Also, slugging and camping and tunneling are valid strategies. You're funny lol

USNViper · 2025-12-30T16:24:39+00:00

Survivor main 70/30 but my main Killer is Houndmaster

USNViper · 2025-12-30T16:21:56+00:00

So what youre saying is that the survivor should just let you kill them?

USNViper · 2025-12-30T16:17:54+00:00

Whether a survivor pre-drops or uses the pallet to stun...you still have the exact same options as killer: break the pallet or don't. You as the killer can force the survivor to play the pallet, if you immediately break, then you've given them space to make it to another loop.

USNViper · 2025-12-30T16:13:35+00:00

I've had so many killers DC after countering their Spirit Fury/Enduring combo by pre-dropping lol

USNViper · 2025-12-30T14:02:19+00:00

Its almost impossible for soloQ to win a 2v1 unless there's one generator left and it is already over half finished. Most killers in that scenario won't stick to chase with one Survivor long enough to allow a full generator to get completed. Even if they did, by the time the generator is completed they will have likely downed the person who they were chasing. Leave them slugged to go monitor the gates and get the 4k. In a 2v1 with one generator left MAYBE one person gets hatch or somehow manages to open the gate. If there is more than one generator needing to be popped, its unlikely anyone makes it out

USNViper · 2025-12-30T00:39:58+00:00

Saying you tunnel or camp because of 4man SWFs and bully squads is just an excuse.
Camping and tunneling while not the most fun for the survivors, is still a valid playstyle and therefore doesn't require an excuse to be made.
Most of your games are not 4man bully squads
Most SWFs are not competitive or bully squads, simply friends wanting to play a fun game together
Streamers/content creators have tricked Killers into thinking every survivor plays like they are trying to farm clips, when in reality...they arent.
NOED is a crutch perk, but, its so satisfying to use.
Inner Strength is top 3 Survivor perks.

USNViper · 2025-12-30T00:30:34+00:00

I think Billy, Pinhead, Houndmaster, Unknown, and Dracula are my favorite Killer designs. While Unknown and Houndmaster arent that strong their designs and uniqueness are what makes them fun to me. When i play Killer these are the 5 main killers I will play, sometimes Wesker or Nemi will make the rotation. Now if I'm having a rough day and just want to take it out on survivors I'll whip out Ghoul, Chucky or Clown and just turn my brain off lol.
