10 Beginner Survivor Mistakes That Are EASY TO FIX in DBD - [Dead by Daylight Beginner's Guide]

[@sh6rpshot]

For you veterans of DBD, comment below your best tips for newer players starting out! Beginners, I hope this video along with this comment section will help you learn new things about the game we all (sometimes) love, in DBD :)

[@sleazyyeezy2238]

don’t bring self care, be aggressive, be smart, also be either working on a gen, getting chased, or unhooking/healing.

[@nametagmc7935]

dont drop pallets immediately after getting hit

[@yamimayonnaise5378]

Don't immediately drop a gen to go do something. My friends constantly do this and it annoys me. If someone JUST got hooked don't run towards them. They're going to be hanging out for a while so atleast spend a couple seconds getting some gen progress while allowing time for the killer to go away

[@thefbi3350]

Don't die. Don't get caught. Hit all great skill checks. Farm and sandbag your friends and randoms

[@sergiupopescu6505]

@@sleazyyeezy2238 basically do something

[@sixxth6]

IMPORTANT: If someone is hooked, and you're getting chased by the killer, please don't run the killer back to the person on the hook. Let him chase you elsewhere so your teammates can get the easy unhook.

[@sh6rpshot]

Very good tip! Same thing applies if you know your other survivors are working on a gen

[@rainbowrose2339]

I so agree

[@Prodominatrix]

Problem is a good killer knows when your just trying to lure them to an random corner of the map and will just exit the chase early on and will return somewhat near the hook

[@Petrichorus-]

@@Prodominatrix that’s still better though because in that situation they’re forced to leave you and check on the hook. If you’re being chased AND run to the hook then it lets the killer control/pressure 2 survivors at once, possibly 3 if someone was already there. Besides, the trick is to not be too obvious about getting their attention. You shouldn’t try to get in their face, you should be doing a gen or actually going for the rescue, not just planning to distract unless there’s 2 ppl trying to unhook at the same time that the killer has to choose between. If they’re camping then wait for someone who has Borrowed Time or take the down and trade places with the hooked person. Whenever I play killer if someone very obviously tries to get me to chase them it lets me know “there’s something important they don’t want me to see” and I immediately check the nearest gens.

[@finksmaestro1798]

Exactly it is common sense and everyone does it.

[@SeszerCaesar]

Tip for new players: play both sides. That way you'll know about the strengths and weaknesses of both of them. For example, if something is particularly annoying to you as killer, do it more as a survivor. There is a big chance it's also annoying to others

[@sh6rpshot]

This is a great tip! I recommended this in an older video of mine, and it’s a tip that helped me so much in the beginning :)

[@q2boydlegend]

i used to play survivor mostly when i first started now i can confidently say playing both sides is more interesting than favoring just one :P

[@SeszerCaesar]

@@q2boydlegend agreed

[@headmastermonokuma7036]

Yep. I know now that tbag is annoying

[@ShawnJonesHellion]

i do that a lot! the game is pretty annoying when i play as survivor so i play it as killer. least annoying thing i can find to pass life

[@MaquinaRara1]

At the start of the game: Look around for gens Is there a gen nearby?, If so, you can try to complete it right there, else go and try to do the centermost one. Some killers have clues that you can determine, hear a lullaby? a huntress, see a jigsaw box? a pig, this can help you to determine the best strategy. Split up, unless someone has prove thyself it is better to do gens separately, not only it is less efficient repairing in teams, but also if the killer appears, then there are 2 or more people off a gen right there. Mid game: Dont be afraid to be chased by the killer, mainly if you are healthy and not death on hook. This gives your teammates potential time to recover, do gens or even open gates. Use Items, there are tons of items that appear on the bloodweb, learn to use them and make the best out of them. You can be lucky and find an item in a chest, but dont rely on that. You can mostly ignore totems, even if they are lit, but remember the location, there are some hex totems that are really oppresive like Ruin or Devour hope, if you identify them you can try to cleanse them, but there are cases where it is not worth the effort. Third seal? Thrill of the hunt? You can live with it, Haunted grounds? that is a trap that can turn the tables agaisnt all of you! At lower levels you can expect certain builds of perks for each killer, for example, if you play against a Trickster, you can expect starstruck, Legion players usually run with discordance, If you are against a Spirit and see a lit totem that you havent identifyied, dont cleanse it, chances are it is Haunted grounds. Dont let your teammates die, they are the key to achieve victory, if someone is removed from play early, then it is less hands repairing a gen, one less person to rescue, and most importantly one less person to be chased by the killer. If you are being chased by the killer, do not run towards gens, mostly if they are being repaired, dont run into teammates by the love of the entity. End game: Once the gates are opened, look quickly for their locations and the aura of the last gen done, chances are that the killer will first check the closest gate to that gen. go to the opposite door if possible. If you are being chased by the killer once the last gen is done, try to run away enough of the gates to not interrupt teammates, but close enough for them to rescue you. You are the last person alive? You can try to use the hatch to escape, an opened hatch hums so that you can locate it by sound, and the hatch always spawn at the ground level of multi stories maps, like midwich or the game. If you are looking for the hatch, then try to look for it as far away from the killer...he is looking for both of you, he is faster and can cover more ground. Chances are that if the hatch is still open, it isnt nearby the killer.

[@sh6rpshot]

This is such great stuff!! I agree with literally all of this except the totems, IF IT GLOWS IT GOES😂 but if you do see a hex and know it’s ruin or something, I definitely wouldn’t skip it I would do it anyways be ya use it’s really worth it. Also, on the new RE map the hatch can spawn on either floor even though it’s an indoor map 😱

[@Spectral_wolf97]

Tip: try and figure out what perks and add ons the killer is running this can really help bc if you know what the killer has you can counter it. For example if the killer hooks someone on the other side of the map and comes right to you then it’s pretty obvious the killer has BBQ so you can hide in lockers to prevent the killer seeing you.

[@sh6rpshot]

Super great tip! Always pay attention to the top right of your screen to see what status affects your under :)

[@rubyyoung5621]

If you can figure out all of the perks, you know there are certain ones you no longer have to be wary of such as Noed and Blood Warden

[@AppleFish]

Thank you for the tips! Just added a few of my own 🤗 1. Try not to let teammates go into second phase. 2. Get into chases so you can practice. Don't be scared of the killer! 3. Escaping isn't the only thing that will get you bloodpoints. 2 gens, 2 chases, 2 unhooks.

[@sh6rpshot]

Great tips! For the last tip, to easily pip all you have to do is 2 full gens, an unhook, a full heal, and escape! If you can’t escape, add a gen and an unhook :)

[@ryrieceratops]

2 months ago i play so immersed that I always hide and dont want to get chase, i'm stuck at yellow ranks that time, then this red rank teammate told me after game that I should practice getting into chases Now i'm pretty confident and at the point where killers tunnel me because they lost a gen or 2 after chasing me for a long time

[@jacksongayton9915]

@@ryrieceratops 👍🏽👏🏽

[@michaelwelch9123]

Maybe the most important is unhook your teammates. I've only been playing a few weeks, today two games in a row I sat on the hook til I died. Perked with Kindred I could just watch my teammates working on generators, no attempt to unhook.😢

[@Ereretani]

Tip for new players: If you are getting camped/tunneled, don’t kill yourself. Try to give your teammates time to repair gens. The killer would kill you, yes. But now he has 3-4 gens repaired.

[@pwrsocket]

What?

[@MomJeans1738]

nah, ima keep game ending myself on first hook if I end up with a brain dead team

[@Spectral_wolf97]

A very obvious tip that sharp forgot. ALWAYS LOOK BEHIND YOU WHEN YOUR BEING CHASED. this is super helpful as it lets you see the amount of distance between you and the killer and you can see where the killer is, you can see if he try’s to cut you off or leave chase. This always helps with knowing when the killer will swing so you can try and dodge the hit and extend the chase.

[@pwrsocket]

Tip, look at the bottom right of the screen alot. See claws around someones player picture? That means they are obsessed, if the claws are moving that means they are being chased. If someone gets hit their player picture will get red on it and that means they are most likely being chased. if any of these apply try to heal, set up a boon, cleanse a hex, do gens, or unhook!

[@iswiftyfox8997]

[@joystick20]

When i get looped for a minute around literary piece of wood, i just give up, i just look at the survivor eyes and then turn back and go away

[@sh6rpshot]

😂😂

[@rossalbane7743]

Pro tip: stop running away from the gen every time you hear the heartbeat. Chances are you’ll run face first into the killer because you panicked and sprinted to the first open area you saw. If the heartbeat is still soft and the gen almost done DONT JUMP OFF THE GEN! The amount of times a skill check pops up right when I wanna get off is insane and the killer might not even be checking the gen. Could just be in a chase. I recommend spine chill. If spine chill lights up for longer than 3 seconds I’d WALK away and hide a decent distance from the gen.

[@Purpylek]

6:15 Me chilling on hook with my incidius bubba friend "Everyone just wants to have fun!" And he has noed...... "Don't be toxic" And he write EZ at the end of the match

[@jeannefamat5104]

The most unsafe generator is in the corner of the map and near an exit and why, because if you pop the last generator at the corner near exit gate the killer will know that you will open in there, but to counter that is to go to the other exit gates.

[@sh6rpshot]

Very true! Unless you know the killer is on the opposite side of the map from you, 99 the exit gate ASAP!!

[@ShinwaneKido]

Even though it's very rare, but Tip #9 doesn't work if the Killer brings "Blood Warden" which block the exit path for 1 minute. But most of the time it still works, since, BW is so rare.

[@abiyujabbar4304]

Yeah true, sometimes in this situation it just instinct, guessing whether they have it or not. Also, if the chance to save the survivor is high (majority of survivors is still in the first hook and healed up) i usually walk away from the gate since killer can see your aura through bloodwarden. With bloodwarden, it is safer to be far from exit gate

[@Crow4k-p7i]

i got a tip for new killers: dont let tier lists and info about killers intimidate you, obviously you should start with killers that are easy to play as until you understand the basics, and then you can pick any killer after that. if you see that you play better with killers people consider low tier, like legion, stick with them. you can use the bloodpoints you get from playing as that killer to level up other killers, and unlock their teachables, and you can mess around and try out all the different perks to see which ones work with your playstyle. dbd is a game, and games are about having fun. its not about struggling with an insanely hard killer

[@sh6rpshot]

Super great tip! Only thing I’ll add is to definitely NOT start with nurse or blight, they have the biggest killer learning curves in my opinion

[@RileyCoyote846]

I’m only toxic to killers who are toxic to me first. Last night I got tunneled by a Wraith because he kept missing his swings on me. I wasn’t doing anything mean or tricky, he was just missing his swings, but he got so angry that he literally didn’t touch my teammates until I was fully dead. He’d chase them a little bit away from my hook and then come right back to face camp. So the one time I got away I juked him a few times and teabagged him because he deserved it for doing that to me for literally no reason

[@d4ni20_]

since when is "toxic" flashing a killer on a palet? i mean If i'm hurt, and he chased me for like 2 minutes OBVIOUSLY i'm gonna flash him

[@DonChonn]

Well this is a some what if a tip. When unhooking someone, if you don’t have borrowed time, be a good teammate and take a hit for them. Many may not agree with this but that is my tip

[@sh6rpshot]

This is a great tip! I would say take a hit in general, that usually happens with borrowed time anyways

[@thefbi3350]

Funny part is if you're playing with friends and are just having fun you're gonna end up failing all tips. Oh yeah sandbag and farm you're friends for extra spice

[@ninjaslayer8909]

Don’t be toxic: nea mains with a flashlight. sweating intensifies

[@ikewaranarinji2721]

Shhhh 🤫🤌

[@upizzdown-v2331]

Tip 6 is situational. Sometimes dropping the pallet early is good, especially against clown, huntress, deathslinger and executioner. Bad killers still might try to loop you around a dropped pallet until they eventually realize that they have to break it. If I don't pallet stun a killer I fake leaving the pallet for this exact reason.

[@jeannefamat5104]

Also while you're friends fixing gens don't go right to them while in chase, always give the survivor a space while on chase, specially if you're friends heal themselves or get healed by the other.

[@sh6rpshot]

Same thing goes with a hooked survivor! Don’t run towards them in a chase :)

[@ResiShade]

That goes especially to Meg players. A 100% of the time she brought the Killer to me when I was either healing myself or a teammate or working on a gen. 😒

[@citatap]

i dont really think flashlighting at a pallet is toxic. unless you're tbagging and just clicking the flashlight on and off while you're doing it. i just do it so i can get more distance to either break chase or get to another loop. unless i misunderstood what you meant

[@ResiShade]

Not being toxic should apply for both sides. I always play fairly and in a non-toxic way and yet I'm always tunneled. I'm not having fun like this.

[@chair7713]

The 9th one is sometimes bad since a survivor might be on hatch and not be able to get it if he starts getting chased while you are just standing In the exit gates

[@sh6rpshot]

This is a really specific scenario, one that doesn’t happen too often, my general rule of thumb is that if 3 survivors are at one gate I open

[@discordanceplays]

Survivor Tip: If you are BRAND NEW pick Bill and use Borrowed Time as your first perk and then make sure you make it teachable first. Unhooking is the single most fundamental thing you will find yourself doing in every game aside from doing generators. No matter who you main later on that is the single best perk you'd want to have on every character.

Can you leave tips for tunneling cause I've been tunneled 247 all games like every game A killer will always go after me after being unhooked and I don't wanna bring ds cause im trash at hitting those ds skill checks

[@EmileDrgex]

If you miss a skill check on a gen and you aren't sure that the killer's focus is elsewhere (chasing someone etc) be ready to run. In same cases could be a good idea to hide nearby for few secs just to see if is sprinting there.

[@sh6rpshot]

True! I usually stick the gen if I blow it up, even if I see the killer coming because if they aren’t coming ASAP and I hide, it’s wasted time I could’ve been doing the gen with!

[@bomoore9872]

for the beginners: -in regards to not farming, if you have a bill perk called borrowed time, then its okay to unhook in front of the killer. -For crawling on the ground, if you have a detective tapp perk called tenacity, its completely okay to do as you will recover at the same time. -wasting pallets, as tempting as it may be, if you know you're gonna get hit and you're in the pallet, don't take the hit and pull it down. take the hit and run to the closest loop. pallets are to get out of a chase or stop from taking a hit or getting downed. This is, of course, if you've been looping the killer for a long time. -to avoid 3 genning, do the gen in the middle of the map first, this guarantees that the generators will already be spread out. then split the gens up so 3 gens are as far away from each other as possible. if you're a beginner, use the felix richter perk "visionary" or the basic perk "deja vu" to see where the generators are at most times -if you or someone else opened the exit gate, and you know someone is being chased and will get downed or hook, consider escaping before then if you are playing against a freddy. beginner killers playing freddy will tend to have a perk called blood warden, which will prevent you from escaping for some time after a survivor is hooked. This will 9 times out of 10, end up killing you. -yeah being toxic is ass. like, if you're going to be a toxic person, and tbag and click your flashlight (more likely rank 1 shit) then actually be good at the game. tbagging and then dying is not cool. -big thing you may not know, (I didnt know at first), there is this thing in the store called shrine of secrets. in this you can "buy" perks with shards. there will be 2 killer perks, and 2 survivor perks. shards are an in-game currency which are earned for free just by playing and leveling up. you can go to the shrine of secrets to either buy a good perk, or just to read them to understand when a killer or survivor may be using them, so you can counter it

[@sh6rpshot]

This is great stuff! Now that you mentioned it, it took me a reallyyy long time to figure out the shrine of secrets existed😂 great stuff :)

[@Spectral_wolf97]

Another tip: Figure out the killers playstyle and how they play because then you can use it against them. For example if the killer doesn’t respect pallets then drop pallets early. Or if the killer loves to mindgame loops or pallets then try and mindgame them.

[@sh6rpshot]

Great tip! On stream yesterday I remember aa Freddy teleporting to gens every single time (not faking it) so I just left and got a head start in the chase every time!

[@donkersif7770]

The best tip i can give is to play both surv and killer and dont get tilted when you lose, if you get tunneled or camped out of a game/tbagged flashlight clicked dont dc ur only making that person laughing to get u mad (however if the person was bein an asd to you first and you have the chance to get out yeah its worth it) playing both also helps you learn how both roles think and how their perks, plus more bloodpoints can be earned when you play both!

[@sh6rpshot]

Great tips! Playing both sides really helped me improve when I started out :)

[@FKTahj]

Claudette: nah I don’t think I will, imma sit and wait for hatch

[@Junohstar]

One quick question for #8: 1. What if one of your friends tells you that they’re in a chase, but there isn’t too much pressure. He tells you that he isn’t very close to the exit gate you’re at. You want to go help him, but NOED is active. You are the only person left that isn’t on their death hook. Should you leave, and let your friend try to figure it out? Or should you go back in to try and help in some way?

[@Xalraroz]

another thing: PLZ DONT DUCK AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP WHEN SOMEONE IS HOOKED TRY TO ATLEAST HELP. 2. be actually helpful (example: do gens instead of hiding in lockers ive had multiple players hide in lockers and run away when he killer isnt even near. and also ive had people leave me to die when im literally right beside them and theres no killer nearby

[@Neutral_1zed]

1:58 but if you’re near a pallet please take the time to crawl ontop of the pallet, Solo queueing experiences I have had someone get downed one feet next to a pallet and they just chill there, until the killer picks them up. Go recover next to a pallet, it’s also an safeguard if the killer makes it back by the time you are healed. Thank q Edit: but yea if it’s on a slugfest then by all mean recover asap

[@necrokush]

Great video as always! Shared to a couple Facebook groups. Keep up the great work man!

[@sh6rpshot]

Thank you so much that means a lot :)

[@iahim0074]

tip for new players: if the killer is not near you just do gens. he is probablly chasing someone else or he is just searching for survivors. also keep in mind that if the killer finds you, you need an escape route so always look for a close pallet or a window so if he comes you dont get hit instantly this is obvious but i still want to mention that when you are looping the killer look behind you. but only to see if tyhe killer is mind gaming you. otherways you will probably bump into a tree and die. if you are using the perk dead hard you should look behind you befor using it so you know when to use it. but dont look behind you nonstop untill you use cuz an avregee killer can tell that you have it by that and will wait untill you use it. Also i want to correct the first mistake mentionated in the video: if the killer is near a hook do not unhook the person if you dont have the perk borrowed time, just let someone else do it. If nobody is coming then wait for the perfect moment to unhook and then take a hit if needed. dont necessary wait untill you dont hear a hartbeat.

[@sh6rpshot]

These are great tips! Even if you do have borrowed time though, it’s a good to always unhook when the killer leaves if you have the time. Not reason to unhook right in front of the killer even if you have BT and have one of you end up getting downed

[@sic996]

Tip: if your name is cowsim, self unhook. You got the numbers. Real tip: USE BOND TO HAVE PLENTY OF INFO. You know if a survivor is working on a gen nearby, you know if a survivor is being chased and maybe coming to your direction (which means you can hide sooner) and you can avoid going to survivors working on gens while you are being chased because you see them from far and you have time to change direction. Another tip: Combine Bond with spine chill. The amount of info you get with these two perks alone is immense. After that, you can safely make another build. Solo stealth build: self-care and iron will. Chase stealth build: dead hard and iron will. Anti tunnel stealth build: decisive strike and iron will. Super stealth build: don't even think of doing it, you don't need a fourth stealth perk. In general, because spine chill and bond are so good, you pretty much have two free slots for you favourite play stile (however, this is more of a stealth oriented build, which is better on avoiding engaging the killer in the first place rather than looping him longer)

[@sh6rpshot]

These are great tips! I personally have always like empathy over bond, but they are both solid options :)

[@sic996]

@@sh6rpshot yeah, as a start empathy is good. Imo, people should start as Claudette when they buy the game. The fact that you can self-care, for a beginner, is something you should not undervalue, it gives some confidence. However, by levelling Dwight too so you can get the teachable Bond, imo you mastered the basics of the game and developed some confidence. Which leads to Bond to be a bit superior to empathy and I want to try to give some arguments. Empathy has a very wide range, but it relies on teammates being able to be downable in one hit, which is something you don't want to count on. You might argue that it grants you the Intel to know that someone is being chased, but that is something you can already know. You can see when someone has been hit even without empathy by simply checking on the bottom left of the screen. You might argue that at least you know where that is happening, but at the end of the day, if it is not within the range of Bond and Terror radius, basically if it is not close to where you are now, you are pretty safe to do your stuff. That's why developing the initial confidence with the game is crucial for my argument. On the other hand, as I said, Bond might have a short range, but with spine chill you know if the survivor running at you (even if full health and the killer has very low terror radius) is simply coming to you or is being chased. Which means you have time to hide and evade the unpleasant experience. In general, if you are running around the map, you see survivors doing stuff close to you. That means you can spot potential totems (useful if they get caught in mid cleansing so that you can finish their job), you can spot chests and you can spot gens that are being worked on so that you can repair it quickly (the most important thing). All these things can be done with empathy, sure, but your teammates must be very expose and it is something they don't want and that you don't want. They will try to heal and you don't want your teammates dead. So, sacrificing range to keep the team and yourself safer, imo, is better. What do you think? Why do you prefer empathy over bond? I might be wrong entirely and I don't know any other usage of empathy that is not listed in perk description.

[@sh6rpshot]

Good points! I only prefer empathy over bond because at tier 3 the aura reading range spans literally the entire map, plus it also acts as useful information for where the killer is, if you see someone’s aura pop up you know they’re in a chase with the killer!

[@rileykunath1165]

Another reason to 99 exit gates- the killer may have a perk called blood warden. This perk allows for the entity to block of the the exit part of the exit gate preventing you from being able to escape. This perk is triggered when a survivor has been hooked with an open exit gate. To prevent this, wait for the survivor to be put on the hook before you open the 99ed exit gate

[@sh6rpshot]

Yes!! On the flip side, if you are at an open exit gate, make sure to NOT hang around when the killer is hooking someone on their death hook :)

[@Carnisen]

Not really a veteran but listing something that has helped my games. Run Borrowed Time if you keep finding yourself in situations that you have to unhook with a campy killer. If you'd rather not run that perk then try to take a protection hit for who you saved so they can get away and heal up. Regardless of the outcomes, just try to have fun with the game. Have fun and hope to see you in the Fog!

Blendette moment😂

[@GenericName1450]

Don't be a blender. What this means is while you try not to get caught, don't just go run and hide in a corner the second you hear a single heartbeat. If you're running off and hiding any time you hear the terror radius, that's one person on the team doing nothing but prolonging the game and giving the killer time to find and kill you all. Unless you know the killer is around and looking for you, you should be repairing that generator.

[@sh6rpshot]

Very true! :)

[@thespectresociety]

Tip. It's ideal to know who the killer is in the first like 15 seconds of the match so you know exactly who you're dealing with. Things like terror radius music, sound effects and even the simple looking at survivor icons, knowing who the killer is makes you know how to counter them

[@sh6rpshot]

Yes! I made a video on this too on how to identify every killer super quick :)

About #3, you should crawl before recovering, but not much, either into a more open area for flashlight saves or next to a pallet for pallet stuns, if you somehow can't get to either in a short amount of time, then you should just sit and recover.

[@sh6rpshot]

I always sit and recover because if your close to max, the survivor won’t be able to pick you up if they’re in a chase

[@zombifiedoll1388]

@@sh6rpshot That's fair, I know this is a quick tip video but I think which one you do depends on the point in the game and your team mates heavily, I just think it's good practice to try to get to one of those areas before recovering unless it's late game and you need to pop up quickly

[@davideomega2918]

Tip, dont do gens hide in the enviroment and hope that the teammates will do them

[@sh6rpshot]

Blendette strategy 😂

[@simonsanteusanio6481]

Best tip: do gens If you do gens you will open the gate faster!!! WOW😳😉 Pls stop running to corners of the map everytime the killer is near

[@anshulrathi6775]

Flashlight at a pallet isn't toxic, clicky click is though

[@sh6rpshot]

It can be toxic if you do it every time for no reason

[@al-lt8pm]

Quick extra tip: Always try like yourself up for a fast vault in Chase to gain more distance on the killer when vaulting e.g. take a little wide turn out, then cut right into the window so the killer will have a harder time hitting you and the killer will have a harder time trying to react.

[@sh6rpshot]

Very true! Same thing applies for pallets too :)

[@justpea7829]

I'd say the only time to self unhook is if you have deliverance or if your team brought insane amount of luck boosters whole having a luck based build

[@sh6rpshot]

Your right :)

[@GetWicked561]

3 gen can be ok only if you have pallets on the opposite side of the map now you force the killer let you heal after being hit heading to the pallet valley or take the chase and have final gen pop after 3 pallets drop

[@sh6rpshot]

I smart killer won’t ever leave their 3 gen for a chase though :/

[@nomedocanalkj]

Great content bro, surprised tbh. Keep it up bro

[@sh6rpshot]

Thank you so much! :)

[@copperheadchris2807]

2 tips: 1: touch a generator if you see its regressing. If youre sneaky, the killer wont notice and he wont get value out of the kick. 2: work on gens alone early game. Theres diminishing returns when multiple people are working on a generator. Furthermore killers will get much less value out of discovering an individual survivor. The teammates can keep working while one of them leads a chase. Also killers may be running discordance or surveillance which counter grouped up survivors.

[@sh6rpshot]

Phenomenal tips!!

[@tsukistrode3233]

Kinda cool tip: try to play with friends in survivor, that can be useful to say your position and ask if someone can help you get out!

[@sh6rpshot]

Yes! SWF is so much easier and so much more fun :)

[@jonathanrodriguez4712]

tip: dead hard is actually not a real perk because it never works. jk its a good perk but dont use it too early or too late, because it is known to be a little bugged. Also, when you use it make sure u know where you’re going, especially if you are looking behind in a chase, because you dont want to dash straight into a wall or object and get stuck. btw has anyone else been experiencing that when you dead hard you get a lag spike. this has recently started happening to me and no other exhaustion perk makes me lag like that, anyone know why?

[@sh6rpshot]

I’ve never gotten a lag spike from using DH, but being exhausted on the ground has happened numerous times

most important tip, when u are being chased, please, look behind as much as you can, so you don't drop pallets too early

[@Velnox]

I sometimes do #1 mistake but it's only when the killer facecamp and I have borrowed time so STONKS

[@sh6rpshot]

STONKY STONKS

[@mrgokusan7962]

Btw the point of being toxic is in my opinion the so important cuz it kills the games fun. When I played against a ttv streamer I looked up for his stream and left a follow plus I wrote in his chat how fun the game was to rise the games fun ofc. lmao

[@mussary0]

tip: always priorities the gens than healing if there is a survivor on gen finish then gen first then get heal or if you are on gen and full health state and killer comes to the gen then always try to take a hit for your injured teammate tip: never try to avoid the chases as it will put your teammate on pressure as then can easily get 3 hooked being in chase will prevent a survivor to get 3 hooked (i am not good in explaining i hope this tips helps your game experience)

[@sh6rpshot]

You did a great job explaining!! These are great tips :)

[@JoeMama-rb1yt]

im a vet and kinda of a killer main but here's a tip: try to hide in a locker before the killer lunged or attacks or try to fake a pallet drop or vualt good killers may try to mind game and go the other way and btw don't use bad add-ons or perks

[@bobjoe2955]

There’s a roughly %12 chance to unhook yourself regularly, considering that to not unhook yourself is 96% and three tries so (.96)^3 is 88.4% to fail, meaning that there’s an 11.6% chance to unhook yourself on the first hook. Could be worth it if your teammates leave you to die during the collapse, or if you have deliverance you can skip all this entirely.

[@sh6rpshot]

Big brain🤯 I think it’s always good to try an escape attempt right before the struggle ohase

[@Zakos18]

I'm using the flashlight on killers on pallets, is that considered toxic?? I was trying to understand in which case to use flashlight except flashlight save, don't you want to use it during their animations like pallet breaking, vaulting, and grabbing survivors?

[@sh6rpshot]

That isn’t toxic! What I meant to say is doing it repeatedly for no reason I think can get toxic

[@ddable.]

In the DbD comunity, t-bagging is called butt dancing.

[@xsomili5501]

6:05 lmao once i was chasing a david, and he kept t bagging me. Constantly. I fr just tunneled and facecamped him. He used up all 3 escaping chances and proceeded to dc. Best feeling ever

When you edit your next video, dissolve the audio tracks. This will get rid of that annoying popping sound every time you edit a jump cut.

[@sh6rpshot]

The pop sounds are there on purpose, every time a bullet gets put up I add it in

[@cammelee373]

I never thought blinding the killer at a pallet was toxic I just used it as a survival

[@sh6rpshot]

It isn’t! It’s just if you do it for no reason than it can be

[@AzzyIsDreeming]

Problem with tip 4: hiding and going to the corners is the only way to heal efficiently in lower ranks (like 20-15) because if you get unhooked or finish a gen theres like a 90% chance the killers gonna go there.

[@LearnSomeTruth]

The "Don't be toxic" tip alone deserves a sub and like. I will never understand why it's such a common thing and kids find it so cool. It makes you look petty and annoying. Behavior very few respects. Just do your best and have fun.

If your new to the game and don't know anything about it, do some studying and watch videos of popular KZbinrs and streamers for tips, techs, and to get a general idea for the game, and if ur on a controller change your settings for button mapping, and don't waste all your yellow and green offerings and add ons right away, save em up and use em for when your going to prestige, maximize bloodpoint gains by holding onto offerings

Best 10 tips for dbd video I saw even if I knew everything be4 the video it's really good for my friends to show them

[@sh6rpshot]

Thank you so much!!

[@billzakill1257]

My tip would 100% be focus on the objective because I see a lot of survivors just running around not doing anything when they could unhook or work on a gen

[@sh6rpshot]

Yes! You should always be doing something to advance the game :)

[@r3yndria]

Two tips: Tip 1, Screw the meta, play something you enjoy. I've got about 500 hrs in by now, and *competitively* i am still hot garbage. It doesnt matter. If you are not *having fun* in the game, what's the point of playing it? I'm not going to say "never play meta" but I will say "don't let the meta decide *for you* what you play. I have won against some *pretty good people* just jerking around with probably the DUMBEST attempt at an off-meta Billy build ever...nothing feels better than doing your own thing. Tip 2, and I cannot stress this enough - information management. Do not just settle for knowing what is *currently* happening, try to figure what happens next. Its a hard skill to master, so this barely counts as a "newbie" tip, but the reason I include it is to stress exactly how obvious some of this can get. It's like dominoes a lot of the time, if you push the first one over, then you know what to expect. If you know the killer is hooking a survivor they chased around your area, you can assume they're going to check gens around your area. If you chase multiple survivors away from a gen and down one, you can assume there's another survivor hovering nearby for the hook save or the gen. The amount of times I've seen people just *space out totally* and just sit on a gen that I *literally just bonked his buddy off of* well after I hooked them, is way too high. There are always specifics and tricky players. But the *basic* objectives and patterns are unchanging. Survivors want to work gens. Killers want to pressure people and prevent gens. If you know what THE OTHER GUY wants to do, then you can generally find better ways to stall it or even prevent it entirely. This is THE MAIN WAY BY FAR that you get better - if you are in their head, then they are in trouble.

[@sh6rpshot]

These are great tips! Your first tip sort of goes with my 10th tip in that everyone just wants to have fun, and info management is something even rank 1s struggle it but it’s superrr important

[@kukrireal]

On number 2 there's exceptions. Like with slippery meat I found a 100% unhook chance because you get 6 chances each of 7% meaning you have a 42% chance to self unhook I think (correct me if I'm wrong) and for me every time I use slippery meat I've self unhooked

[@kukrireal]

Tl:dr slippery meat funne perk make unhook

[@nathanh8469]

5:45 I’ve actually gotten yelled at in post-game chat for doing this, because one of the survivors wanted to escape through hatch and they called me “selfish” for not allowing them to... like, I was trying to make sure they weren’t in danger or hiding because the killer cut them off from the exit gates, why tf do people expect solo queue players to know literally everything

[@sh6rpshot]

That’s rarely ever happens, pretty dumb of that person to yell at you for playing it the right way😂

[@DaV1nk]

I'd consider myself an amateur of DbD, played 2 months so far and my current (and highest) rank is hovering on the 7-6 bridge, and I legitimately didn't know half of these. For example I had no idea flashlighting a pallet was toxic

[@ShadowWolfTV]

Another toxic behavior is body blocking

[@creepykoala7255]

About tip nr 9: Do NOT do that if the only person not at the gate is on death hook. If he gets downed there is basically nothing you can do anyway but if you leave the hatch will open, increasing his chances of survival.

[@nanoswithabackbone232]

So flashlighting a killer at a pallet drop is considered toxic? I just thought it bought you that much more time for escape.

[@al8951]

I would say only flashlight clicking and teabagging at a pallet is toxic

[@cammelee373]

Instead of #3 crawl to a pallet or an open area if your mate has a flashlight then start recovering. Works best with swf

[@sh6rpshot]

It’s a lot easier to communicate on SWF :)

[@dp_lilmonix3]

the 10th tip is fine but learning how to distract the killer to chase you is a valid strategy so that your teammates can freely do objectives without any pressure, especially if you have the loadout to take aggro.

[@sh6rpshot]

Your right! That doesn’t have anything to do with being toxic though, you can distract the killer all you want and not be toxic at the same time :)

[@TheMegatron673]

i TOTALLY agree with not opening the exit gate early so not to put pressure on the rest of the team

[@sh6rpshot]

Great minds think alike 😎

[@TheMegatron673]

@@sh6rpshot especially if the killer has noed but i do understand its situational though

[@corvoattano6765]

Does using Borrowed around the killer ok? Because I see the person I unhook get tunneled even after i take a hit and they take an endurance hit

[@Valfheim]

Borrowed time exists so that whoever gets unhooked doesn't immediately get downed and hooked again. if you have BT or are being rescued by someone with BT then it's usually okay, albeit risky, to go for the unhook. good killers can and will predict the BT and will simply wait out the timer while they chase the other survivor.

[@ramst3d]

Use Deliverance to practice safe hooking with a reward, 100% escape off first hook! (Acquired from Adam Francis, level your account to receive free Iridiscent Shards, to purchase him.)

[@MrGamer-lz6ci]

Honestly the worst thing in dead by daylight as a killer when a survivor flashlights you when you break a pallet sometimes I forget about it And get blinded

[@sh6rpshot]

Rubbing salt into the wounds 😂

[@TTguy7050]

1. If you're fellow survivor just isn't being useful, save them so they can be live bait for the killer unless you can get hatch or already have an exit gate open. 2. If you're tried of being the only survivor doing gens, no going down every 20 seconds, or anything useful, remember dbd doesn't stop at survivor. Take out your frustration by killing them as killer, but also remember playing killer truly starts at green ranks. Don't get cocky. 3. Sometimes it's better to take a hit at a pallet rather than dropping it if you're a healthy survivor. This keeps the loop you're at strong and able to be used if you escape the chase and a fellow survivor needs a pallet. 4. With unsafe pallets, try to get a stun on the killer. This can be said for any pallet but is especially needed on one that is unsafe. Stunning the killer will give you time to run to a better loop and prolong the chase if they're still chasing you. If you don't get a stun, prepare to take a hit.

[@TTguy7050]

There are probably hundreds of tips veteran dbd players can give, so make sure you look through the rest of the comments to get a better understanding. I may not be a survivor main but I'm just saying things that help survivors when i play.
