This video is the first of my series where I will be helping new survivors and killers with some tips, guides and stuff I will make in the future, due to the influx of new players as part of the playstation extra and Resident Evil DLC! Also, this video in specific is aimed towards new players, so if you are experienced and have any tips I didn't mention, make sure to comment them down below! I will credit those tips I didn't know in future parts!

Someone might already have pointed this out, but Midwich science and music room gens are NOT a guaranteed spawn - they are only guaranteed if an offering for the map is burned. If the map comes up randomly, they might not spawn (and hence there's no way to open the secret room in the courtyard).

[@kiriynachisano7083]

came here to say that, glad someone else was on it!

[@shofiemahowyn]

Had this thought as well; they OFTEN spawn in those rooms, but occasionally will spawn outside of the rooms, or not at all (though that last one seems very rare).

[@Blazik3n99]

Secret room?

[@MWalkah]

@@Blazik3n99 The clock tower room in the courtyard (that spot in one of the corners with a closed door and double pallets). It has an extra chest inside, and only opens if you complete, during the game, first the science room generator, followed by the music room generator. Bells sound after completing each of this gens. Then, when one of the gates is open and endgame collapse begins, that door will open revealing the hidden chest and decorated room inside.

[@Blazik3n99]

@@MWalkah Wow, that's so cool! I didn't know about this. I remember the bell noise but I didn't connect it to those specific gens. Gotta try it at some point 👀

[@FEKana]

That killer tip about chases is quite useful. A lot of newer killers spend all game chasing 1 person getting mad at the person for outplaying them and one of two things happen. All the generators get done and everyone escapes with the killer having very little hooks. Or the really good player get caught and camped out by the killer who is now frustrated and angry. I find ending a chase early even if you don't catch them quite useful for multiple reasons. I don't want to waste my time with 1 person when there are 3 other completing objectives. It keeps me from losing my cool and keeps me level headed, allowing me to devise future plans. And most importantly,the survivor who stops getting chased early might get overconfident which will make them make mistakes. And trust me. An overconfident survivor will make mistakes. Just remember 3 sacrificed survivors and letting the 1 you despise go is better than 1 or no sacrifices.

[@ventexovakon2178]

As a killer, if I see a mid/high level survivor, I'll take a memento Mori and get rid of them ASAP. Ghostface as my main is handy with this because marking is very effective at getting them down.

[@miningfordiamonds7978]

If i'm playing a good killer that can end a chase early like wesker, spirit, nurse, pyramid head, huntress and sometimes blight. It's very hard to overextend if you're good with either of those killers, and you will end the chase quickly. However for the other killers that do not have such a good chase kit, i would say you can play alot more chaotic. I'll list the ones i have experience with below and tips for each. As wraith you can get a hit, stealth then reappear at another survivor doing gen and down him instead if he is in a bad spot. Try to body block alot As trapper you can bait alot of survivors and it's almost always unecessary to chase someone into an area where you don't have traps or no traps on you. As hilbilly if you're in an area with many windows pallets and the survivor is kiting you, find a survivor in a worse spot to chainsaw. Hag is sort of like trapper but you can chain chase, so you chase someone but a trap got activated, you immediately tp to the trap get a free hit on a survivor caught off guard and probably has a worse area As the doctor only if you're using addons otherwise his ability is bad. Roam around find survivors with static blast, initiate a chase, mix between madness and hits. If you overextend go increase madness on anyone else and if you're using the illusionary pellet addon, your mission is to get the first chase to drop as many pallets as possible and break them so future chases will become very easy. As nemesis you will most likely try to wound someone then infect them, if you cannot manage to wound, infect them and find someone else to infect to increase mutation, and you never want to just extend a chase if you're not mutation 2-3 As clown you have to overextend, unless you're using really really good perks. Clown is just bad, can shorten chases a bit but that's it.

[@spicysalad3013]

@@miningfordiamonds7978 how is doctor's ability bad??

[@miningfordiamonds7978]

@@spicysalad3013 it's bad without addons. It becomes good with addons. You slow yourself down during a chase and take a high risk on hitting the survivor, and if the survivor is good you have to struggle to get a hit. Without addons madness I or II also doesn't do anything useful at all other than getting survivors closer to III You still have static blast which is really good for info but his chase just becomes worse than the clown or even trapper without the addons. I know you can cancel survivors from dropping pallets/vaulting but survivors can see you do it and start running in a different direction etc. Also getting to madness III in a chase doesn't matter much without addons as you can still just loop the doctor alot or hold w whenever he charges.

[@daukwin]

Something that should also be said about the shrine tip and spending your shards is that every year dead by daylight has an anniversary event and typically all the characters (except maybe new ones) go for 50% off. And despite this the shrine is really good if you only want one perk from a survivor (even at the price of 2000 shards). With most survivors only having one good perk it would be stupid to buy them all and ignore the shrine.

[@user-ci8jz2lm4b]

Not all perks are bad for me I play all perks and ignore the meta

[@overseer_of_memes]

Perks are 2k shards each on the Shrine, while chars are 9k. Survivors are really just skins of each other, so that's 3k extra to get them, plus you'll start getting rituals for them, so you'd have to REALLY like a Survivor to justify buying them. This guy must have been high to make such a tip. (Everything else was fine though)

[@cannedsquasher5923]

@@overseer_of_memes Even though he didn't specify (and probably didn't mean to specify anything), I think this tip is probably more garnered towards Killer players. Personally I'd say the Shrine is a waste for non-premium killers, as hell that is another character you might want to play every now and then eventually.

[@overseer_of_memes]

@@cannedsquasher5923 yeah for killers it's an absolute waist

[@spicysalad3013]

[@polloxkun]

While I agree on the border thing, you should also say that if you know you're going down regardless, it's better to die on the edge of the map far away from hooks than to die in the middle of it right next to a hook. There's a reason it's called the comp corner.

[@alonsyy]

This probably works even more so when the offering that decreases distance between hooks is in play

[@theSUICIDEfox]

And for those wondering why the repair bar is still red when you use Prove Thyself, it's because it technically only boosts by 14.99% and not 15%. So you are both doing the gen at 99.99% which makes the bar red. Why this was done I'm not entirely sure.

[@iconbluesn5648]

probably just to keep the bar red for consistency

[@canadiankazz]

The border is also bad because red scratch marks show up really well against it. Never run along the wall if you're trying to be stealthy.

[@jos8009]

Also if you stay near the map borders, the scratch marks will be easier to see for the killer on a outside map from an afar

[@KnifeToMeetYou_]

For early game, I agree that you should never go to the edges of the map as that's free pressure for the killer, but for mid-Late game, a smart survivor can waste the killer's time by taking chase and running to the edges of the map, buying their teammates enough time to make good progress on the last gens.

[@Arckua]

I'm a little confused about the Shrine tip, in terms of survivors. If you're not going for the character cosmetically, isn't it cheaper to see if you can purchase perks thru the Shrine? Purchasing all 3 Perks would cost 6000 iri instead of 9000 for the character, and you can upgrade the perks in an individual's bloodweb

[@Timely7]

I mean technically you are correct but the logistics of this actually happening will take awhile. the shrine is random so buying the character with shards guarantee's that you can get the three perks, now if you just wanted one perk from a charter and you see it in the shrine pick it up but if you want more than one perk then you should just buy the person who has them since the shrine is random. but i mean if you wanna wait go ahead but by the time you get all three perks of that person in the shrine of secrets ill have all my survivors prestige 20 by that time.

[@MintSkull]

Technically it's cheaper but you are stuck with the tier 1 perks of that survivor for the rest of the cast, or, if you want to upgrade the perk to tier 2, it costs 4K iridescent shards which is an absolutely crazy amount of shards (And 6K for tier 3) . If you are focused on only one survivor for the rest of the game, then yeah, buying one perk from the shrine is a good investment, but on the long run, having all perks on tier 3 for any new character is a luxury that people that get perks from the shrine cannot get.

[@Arckua]

@@MintSkull I mean fair, but you can get the majority of perks via presitiging other characters to three, then do a small amount of upgrading the character you wish to play to get missing/general perks. It's just a matter of Bloodpoint investment (which was recently made cheaper) or Iri investment (significantly harder to acquire), but I see your point.

[@Arckua]

@@MintSkull wait but it doesn't cost iri to upgrade the perk, you aren't stuck at T1. I purchased the perk from Shrine last week (the one that heals you while healing others) and was able to upgrade that in my Bloodweb.

[@reivoidwalker]

@@Arckua same, tier one perks from the shrine are able to be upgraded in other characters’ blood webs

[@mettsusharpclaw]

I never thought of using that Legion kicking Gen/Wall addon, but seeing how you used it there, made me think other wise since it stops the duration from going down, neat stuff!.

[@waffles_waffles]

I recently got DBD and that last tip was really helpful, I was spending way too much effort on a singular player a lot and found myself scrambling in the end to get the rest. I would get way too set on killing the one person, and I'd lose sight of the bigger objective

[@dignusdingus3709]

For generators my strategy is to usually rush any close to the middle if it's safe enough, or if we happen tp get one done at shack.etc I then try to do them in a sort of straight line, try to make this big deadzone to waste the Killer's time travelling. This tends to leave one side with two gens and a single on the other side of the map with 2 left to do, so then I prioritise getting the one closest to the other done (or get progress up on both) which still makes it hard for the killer to patrol the one further away.

[@sanquinlily]

Concerning the Gen-Spawns on Gideon: On the top floor the Gen will always spawn of the right side of the door and on the bottom floor on the left (when looking from the center of the map)

[@LowkeyBrick]

Fun fact, that gene outside doesn't always spawn there on rpd. Sometimes it moves to the fire escape by the hook

[@patchofheaven9174]

On Azarov wrecking yard, it is a guarantee that there will be a generator in the main gas station building in the garage, so if you get the squad to role up its a good first gen. And when you exit through the front you'll see obstacles with a pallet to the left of that should be a few rocks there should be a gen in that direction and usually one in the back of that building, and if you turn right once exiting the front same should apply.

[@TrickTails]

A counter-argument to point 4 is buying time for your team. If you know you're going to go down, go into the corner of the map. Especially if you 3-genned then run to the opposite side. If they give up chase, that's good for you. You can reconvene to heal or work on one of the other gens.

[@Caliburnz]

Even tho efficiency isn’t good with multiple people on a generator, I think it’s better to do because you’ll most likely be interrupted by the killer and lose progress but getting it done faster can limit that.

[@8888ebra]

I know it's been over a year since this video came out, but I want to add some things that weren't mentioned for some tips: 4 - borders are really good when you need to take killer away from gens, because it's the farthest part of the map that has some kind of loops, that can win a little time if you're lucky enough (especially borders are helpful against nurse), also you can die in corner of a map so the killer need to carry you on a hook much longer 5 - you need to learn to assess the situation and understand when it's better to predrop pallet to gain distance, and when it's better not to drop it at all, it will come with experience (don't be greedy, assess the situation, take risks) 6 - pallet vacuums are risky, because when you do this, your hitbox increase and killer can hit you if he swings at the right time

7:55 the 3 gen strategy is honestly always the best for me and I don’t even really feel bad when I mori them with devour hope cause they still got enough gens and some good chases

[@BouncingTribbles]

I played a second game in the tutorial and it was incredibly obvious to choose 3 gens and guard them. Maybe because you're trapper, but its just simple math. Choose three gens that are in a convenient cluster and set up a wall of traps to chase the survivors to

[@muhammedaksoy9604]

@@BouncingTribbles yeah if ur trapper 3 gen tec is kinda the obvious option but I like the 3 gen tec while playing as huntress cause it fun and even more fun if u don’t have perks which show u the locations of the survivors because it feels like a real hunt

[@braytonewell]

Depending on the killer, 3-genning can be strong or weak. For instance, Huntress can easily down someone around the gens, while Trapper has to chase them away. They'd go completely opposite direction from the gens and give others time to repair them. If you go back, it'd keep the game going for a very long time.

[@cati3570]

3 gen on any killer that has the ability to use range are useful. I play a 3 gen Doctor and a 3 gen Artist and literally never leave the 3 gen from start to finish. I have had extremely successful games because of range detection paired with gen regression perks (3k or 4k every game.) Survivors frequently make more mistakes in a 3 gen, especially if they made the mistake of never being near the terror radius for the first 4 gens to identify perks or see if the killer is AFK or willing to leave an area. An M1 killer can't pressure a 3 gen effectively, but it certainly helps the killer not have to go on a search for survivors.

[@felix-antoineflibotte]

It's never bad to 3-genning if you can.

[@braytonewell]

@@felix-antoineflibotte It's never BAD if you can, but if you are in the situation of the Trapper example I posted, it can just make the game long and boring for everyone.

[@harrishoin7950]

An extension on the hook one: Mori's save hooks and get around perks like DS so they can be worth bringing if you're still uncomfortable with hook micro, or preferential if you're playing someone like Meyers, p head, or Sadako

[@MitchellHD02]

The borders CAN be useful, if you are essentially guaranteed to go down it can be beneficial to go down in the corner as the killer will usually have a longer distance to a hook, you can use this time to get vital time on gens or getting an unhook, or even buying time to body block the killer to wiggle off :)

correction with the midwitch generators in the music room and science room, they dont actually always spawn there, its a guarantee that those 2 spawn if you bring a offering, if its a random chance your at the map its not guaranteed, this is most likely because of the clock tower chest easter egg being tied to those 2 generators

1:13 for the Game - viewed from the middle of the map, upstairs generators will always be right-side of the door, while downstairs generators will always be on the left side. Probably can spare you some extra seconds searching for that thing. Also, you can see the wheels above these doors, indicating which part of the door will move when the gen is finished. This will probably prevent you from getting hit one day when u finish the gen with a killer nearby.

[@antoniomorales4923]

imo with the new update, the shrine is still pretty worth it in scenerios where you want a perk immediately or something along those lines. Spending 10k shards isn't necessary unless you're desperate for tier 3 on a perk. One you buy it once for 2k, it will be given to you at tier 1 for all survivors or killers (depending on which perk it is) and then you can easily unlock the next few tiers from the bloodweb. It's what I've been doing since they introduced the new prestige system. I've prestiged about 10 characters since the new update to P1, and It's been amazing. I have tons of perks now for every surviver and killer, and when I do start progressing a new character I end up with tier 3 perks for practically every perk by the time I'm able to prestige that new character. So basically remember that it's not a requirement to get prestige 3 for tier 3 perks on all characters (unless you really want to tackle that grind). You can still play whoever you want and unlock the next tiers through the blood web. Great video :) !

bonus note on the crows, they'll only fly off if you're running or walking close by. walking or crouching doesn't alert them and or has a smaller chance to do so. in short terms- treat the situation as if the killer has "spies from the shadows" equipped even if they don't- (this is what i picked up on/remembered from past experience. i've just gotten into the game again after a year or two without playing)

I have not used the shrine of secrets once since they released the ingame store. Before that, the shrine was the only thing you could use iri shards on and iri shards were capped at 1000. So I (and I guess most people) exchanged their iri shards for bloodpoints rather than stay at the cap and waste them. Maybe that sheds some light on why the bloodpoint exchange is a thing at all for newer players.

Hiding near by their corner cause I know I can’t hook them from there)

[@augustquercy5645]

What... That first one blew my mind. I always thought it went faster if you worked together... It always seems to get done quicker than doing it solo.

[@eageraurora879]

Regarding the hook situation, I was able to escape the grasp of a wesker 3 times in a row and escape with one other person who did the same as well, because he used up the two hooks that where on the same side of the map. He camped one side and In the end all the surrounding generators got finished while the two closest hooks to the door where destroyed. To make matters worse for him the last generator was now i hook dead zone. He downed me and the other remaining survivor 3 times but every time we managed to escape and run all the way back to finish and escape. While camping is a viable strategy sometimes, it I'd important to remember that as a killer you can accidentally box yourself into a situation that is unwinnable

I don't know if it's actually a useful tip but I do just run around starting gens because when killers get to them especially early or end game the killer camps around that Gen so you have every gen started they're going to take two times visiting every gen. Then also always try to keep an eye on the killers direction. If you see the killer running towards you all while working on a gen. Run towards the killer than run in an opposite direction. That 5 secs in you can completely finish the gen. Also it's always better to be seen at a distance than up close. Or if you know your being stalked run one way till you know there's probably enough stuff to block the killers view of you. If they stay watching stand still let your scratch marks dry up and once they head towards you head back the way you came try to walk in the open and run around rocks to hide or distort your scratch marks. Also if you hear the killers terror radius farther than normal use your scratch marks to your advantage run one way then walk the opposite way and hide. Always leads the killer away

I always ask this 1st tip to my friends. And they always say "it's red because gen is now faster". I knew it actually red means is lower. Because of this video i will prove myself to my friends. Thank you for all. It's a great video. And this is my first engilish words without translate program. I hope i write good and understandabillty.

[@RyneVera]

if you hold shift while dropping a pallet it will put you on the opposite side to throw, so the point of stop running is right, but you can still walk into position if need be

[@Murv002]

The video footage had me dead! Thanks a lot 😅

[@GreggMakesYoutubeVideos]

I remember the Shrine being a lot better before the new Store, the only way to get perks like Hex Ruin (when it was good lol) without paying money was to hope for it in the Shrine.

1: at 2:06, The generator in the science room didn’t spawn because it’s not actually a guaranteed spawn, regardless of whether you’re in a custom game or not. There’s a high chance of it spawning there because there aren’t many generator spawns on that map but it’s not always. 2: I agree with the shrine being a scam but I’d also say that spending shards to get a perk on a free character is still a waste. You only have to get that character to P1 to get all of their perks unlocked on all characters. Thats my opinion at least. 3: if you know you’re going to go down, it’s ok to go to the edge of the map to go down. You’re buying yourself and your team quite a bit of time because on almost all maps (not swamp or indoor maps really), there aren’t hooks on the outside, so the killer has to walk further to get to a hook.

[@BlackMountainProductions]

I personally love doing the 3-Gen Strategy, it puts a lot of pressure on the survivors and if you run something like discordance its more pressure if they try to gen rush, 90% of the time you'll win

[@DustTheOtter]

Regarding map borders on normal maps, if there’s absolutely nowhere to go, it can be a good idea to run to a corner of the map, because hooks tend to spawn a little bit further away from those areas and can waster a few extra seconds. Also, regarding pallets, unless you’re going against specific killers, like Oni, for example, you should almost never drop a pallet while healthy.

[@frostbite.711]

I've gotten to the point as killer where sometimes if survivors are trying to get me to chase them, I'll ignore them and focus on the survivors who aren't as good at looping me if I can find them.

[@mr.cadaver8773]

I gave a like. I always wanted to make Carlos happy

[@Ma77Manz0]

Another tip that I have is that if you and your teammates are doing generators in the beginning of the game and let’s say the progress of your generator is like halfway done, and no one is being chased by the killer most of the time It is a ghost face or a pig and if you’re lucky, it’s an AFK killer.

[@derpour2816]

When i didn't play dbd back then in 2016 i just watched otz videos until now. So when i first played in 2021 i wasn't completely clueless but hey nice video.

[@Morio220]

Midwich also has the flashing lights in hallways or in rooms that indicate gens being there

[@boundedscythe7726]

I absolutely did not know the first one I always thought that having multiple people on the gen actually gave you an increase percentage not a decreased one.

[@damjanlazarevic6222]

The shrine is good when you have a paid character's perk in it, I got MFT and Flip Flop from it this week, MFT is top 5 perks in game rn, and i am saving for windows of opportunity , so definitely get a perk from shrine if you really want or need it

[@MondrianPuppy]

I don't even play DBD anymore and i've long lost interest for it, but I still watch all your videos since they're always so interesting and entertaining

[@Polomance862]

The Shrine isn't quite a scam; but rather is a tool to help progress perks and lessen the Prestige grind for all characters. Perhaps there's one perk you really want but don't want to grind out Clown for Bamboozle. You can use your shards to instantly unlock a tier on all killers you own, and lessen the amount of time needed to get that perk to tier 3. Crows are also useful for survivors as Killers will trigger crows just as well. If you're playing against a stealth killer, crows can help you indicate who might be coming your way.

[@graveyardsoil]

I believe for the resi maps to find the gens there are usually light bulbs or flickering one :) : A lot of the gen stuff have to do with lights i noticed

[@TJ_Strick]

As a killer main, I already knew most of the tips you gave for that. However my cousins are trying to get me to play more survivor, so those tips help. On a side note, if I’m trying to focus on a single killer (or survivor), and I just want one perk from another character without having to take the time to prestige that character, isn’t it a good idea to use the Shrine? For instance I have used it a couple of times for certain perks from characters I don’t care about. I don’t have Bubba, I don’t want Bubba, but BBQ is a good perk, so when it popped up in the Shrine, I went ahead and got it. I didn’t really use the shrine a lot until recently when they changed the way you unlocked perks. I really hate the way they did that btw. I was one level away from unlocking Thanatophobia from Nurse then they changed it to the prestige system and may it so much more difficult.

[@dehyavu]

In the end its all personal preference. I like to have all survivors and killers unlocked eventually, since i play both sides. And when i unlock a new killer i prestige them until i got all perks. But if you are not interested in a character and just want the perks, and you're lucky that the one you want shows up in the Shrine it's no problem to go for that instead. Compared it'll just cost more if you decide you want the characters afterwards.

[@yippiee1234]

I only have around 300 hours on this game and this video helped me a lot!

[@MacDonellCashRicher]

Tip 12 I have actually been doing instinctually. Had a round, where this Leon constantly teabagged me, trying to force long chases. Every time I would go "I wonder what this gen he's running away from has to offer." Ended up killing every single one of them, with the Leon being the last one, since I always ignored him. So another side of this tip for survivors: Don't make it too obvious, that you're trying to waste time. Especially with teabagging.

[@The_Foole]

Perhaps it is the case on other platforms, but on the mobile version Midwich's Music Room and Science Room rarely have a generator spawn inside. Initially, both would spawn almost every game, while other times only one would. After some point though they have near never been, at least from my experience. For the Library, a generator on either floor seems guaranteed, but totem spawn is more questionable in those rooms.

[@phonyxsm807]

That last tip is so important it makes or breaks games

[@Ma77Manz0]

Playing as a survivor I always try to see where my teammates die, bc I know the killer wants to avoid that area with less hooks so I try to rush a gen there and sometimes teammates die and leave behind nice items

[@Spiderbart99]

8:45 "save, yo, -tears- HOOKS for anotha day"

[@desertyoshi_plays]

The generators in the science and music room are ONLY guaranteed to spawn with a map offering. If you're playing and the map is chosen randomly, it's possible that they don't spawn there. I think I have seen it that way once or twice.

[@Theragtagna]

5:29 I don't know if they changed this but I remember seeing sparks flying off a generator that I kicked that was also blocked off by one of ghostface's perks. Don't know if it was just a visible bug or if it actually worked.
