This Is Why Killers Are Slugging In 2025 (Dracula Gameplay) Dead By Daylight

Thanks for being first 🥇

[@JP96x]

Survivors should not be complaining about slugging when they actively go out of their way to deny hooks. I’ve encountered SO many flashlight/sabo squads lately it’s ridiculous.

[@user-ie4uk3ub6c]

It’s kinda easy to counter flash bangs unless an entire team brings them with anti slug perks lol. U can hear footsteps if they don’t have lightfooted but also injure them if they don’t have iron will.

[@user-ie4uk3ub6c]

The survivors in this video were also really good so I’ll give them that

[@xerothereaper4158]

@@user-ie4uk3ub6coh it is easy. When THE GAME is not bugging out with the audio! Bhvr is so slow that you either have to slug em or bring lightborn at this point Judging by the test servers, flashbang will be more of a nuisance if they don’t think the audio

[@silentfanatic]

@@user-ie4uk3ub6c How does that counter Background Player, exactly?

[@dieslegilbert738]

⁠@@user-ie4uk3ub6cAn even easier way is by slugging. They waste time and you get even more pressure. Over time you will either get the 4k slug if they keep committing or they will stop with the bs.

[@drucy.]

I can already see the next patch notes : "Unbreakable added as base kit for Survivor" "Removed aura hiding from Knockout" Dev notes : "F' you Killers. You don't get to have fun."

[@drucy.]

Anyway... I'm going Lightborn, Knockout, Discordance and Surge on every killer from no on. And ofc, slugging gallore. You don't want me to do my objectives ? Have it your way and enjoy the dirt.

[@scorchedevil9669]

@@drucy. burger king reference?

[@DestroyerBG1]

@drucy. I never bring sabotages or flashlights but I still get to be slugged tunneled and camped if I play survivor I wonder how is that fair. Overall fuck everyone honestly. I dont play survivor cause it sucks ass you get punished because survivor friends exist.

[@Snake1366]

1 sabo, 1 fire cracker, 1 flashbang, and 1failed flashbang all before the first hook. Not to mention 4 generators were done in that time frame.

[@sirco2166]

Its a waste a slugging build would have given more value to the killer

[@big_DAD_wolf]

thats what surv mains want you to think, gaslighting as usual

[@Imghostie_ttv]

In my opinion it is. When you get flashlight/flash bang happy survivors, no one is on gens and higher possibility of them snow balling. When they find out you have Lightborn, they go back on gens and stop trying to save. Am I saying not to use it? No. Everyone has a preference. I don't use it for the reason I said above.

[@bifflightyear]

Trust me lightborn is one of the worst perks in the game.

[@KingsNerdCave]

What about killer fun? This isn't fun. Gen perks get nerfed for slowing the game down too much and being unfun but 12 hooks vs 5 gens and survivors have a lot of options to prevent hook objective. They played very well, it's not a diss on the players, it's just lame to deal with an entire team of it. The only counter to flashbang + background player is them messing up timing. Buffed Fire Up is looking really good about now. Faster pick ups with the other speed bonuses.

[@Negoose]

I'm quite curious to see if buffed fireup will actually mess up their timing with flashlights or flashbangs 🤔

[@EriUwUL]

reasons like this is why i most always bring either light born or knock out, it's so helpful

[@Negoose]

I don't blame you. I'm slapping on in all my builds now 😂

[@DrAbKaN]

Knock out with swf ? 😂😂😂 joke

[@EriUwUL]

@@DrAbKaN joke? they crawl slower so less pallet saves, they get healed and recover slower so if they have unbreakable they take longer to get up, giving me very useful time

[@siberian3021]

Survivor dont have the right to complain about slugging when they go out of their way to deny hooks!

[@shoul1]

No, no. Survivors can do anything they want. Killer's must do as they're told. Survivor Rule Book (TM), man. It's the Rules. This has been a performance of the Survivor Main Mindset.

Yup!!!

[@charlyfalke172]

Nah, time for Lightborn to become meta 😂

[@TylerLee42089]

you’re trash

[@brysonline]

At high MMR, it almost feels required to slug or tunnel. Survivors bring EVERYTHING they can to win and get 2nd chances and that’s the only way to deny it. Until I don’t lose two gens after my first chase, I’m going to tunnel and slug when necessary.

[@FlyManChimera]

I've been running lightborn irregardless if they pick flashlights lately because of how broken flashbangs are

[@Negoose]

@@FlyManChimera Its definitely going to be a go to in my builds from now on

[@darkninja6221]

I liked how you show us some of the games where you don’t win and you still be a good sport :)

[@henrywall6802]

Slugging is meta again lol For the future could you possibly keep the black bar just over the name so we can see the health state of the survivor? Great video otherwise:)

[@Negoose]

Will do! Thanks for the feedback!

[@kakonada]

Wait for BHVR lick their survivors 🍑 again and bring back the ptb unbreakable base kit

[@kuninagako9035]

I do miss old hangmans trick that was such a funny perk to pit on when u had a sabo swf team. The hooks would respawn in 3 secs it was so goo then it go nerfed into the ground.

[@Nax_uthala]

Time for Third Seal / Knock Out / Lightborn

[@Negoose]

Hell yea 😈

[@DoglinsShadow]

Huge respect to you for keeping it positive and saying "gg" after all that. That was an intense match. I also have to give props to the good teamwork for the survivors, however survivors must understand that if a killer starts slugging THAT is the reason why. You kept trying to hook for pain res/DMS, and this caused you to keep losing. I wonder if you would've focused on slugging from the beginning to build more pressure if you could've gotten some kills? It's hard to say- they were definitely a good team. Overall great video, I was kind of hoping you'd turn it around but that's not how every game can go... It's inevitable to lose some. Good on ya for taking the beating with positivity and saying "gg." Huge respect. Edit: and what I meant in the first paragraph is not toxic slugging bleed-out persay but generalized slugging. If survivors reveal that they're going to be off-gens and protecting downed teammates via flashy/sabo saves, then as killer you have to adapt by snowballing after a down.

[@scorchedevil9669]

The Oni: well they don't call me the slugging samurai for nothing!

[@Iamthevitu]

The reason why i think see dbd is better than playing it, play just for fun is impossible, is just stressing That why is stop playing Now i only see vídeos of dbd😢

[@JHardy19]

Hope the next few videos are slugging builds! 😊

[@NazgulianKing]

This is the first game I have seen you lose ever on this channel just goes to show that when a survivor team cracks down and the killer isnt prepped for a hard fight they lose in the first few minutes skill level doesnt matter

[@Negoose]

This is not the only match losing that I have posted and yup I agree!

[@themanwithyoursauce2477]

I think these guy's were the same ones i faced yesterday as pyramid head simply by how they were playing, I managed to kill one of them and the rest I just slugged even tho i could of easily hooked them. They wanted to play dirty so I just played dirty as well.

[@ishowspeedplug2845]

Damn, this is why u can’t give them any chances

[@josephg1125]

I agree, ill continue to fully bleed out survivors when i slug till bhvr removes the self unhook

[@Xerneas385]

its genuinely quite crazy. i started playing killer a few weeks ago and im def not great but I already get complains when I slug when they sabo hooks and when all 4 of them go for flashbang saves

[@alelion3539]

Cypress Memento Mori has reappeared on the offerings list with a 10,000 BP bonus for a Mori animation, which means the devs are returning the basekit unbreakable mechanic as leaked! Slugs are going to be a thing in the past!

[@BioMetalNeo]

Bruh if Survs wanna complain about slugging then they need to stop doing headon/flashlight/flashbag/bodyblocking/sabo plays all in one team XD Killers just gotta adapt and play smarter/dirty

[@crossbones2755]

Iri Flesh and Beast Marks or Awarding chili on Bubba too ;)

[@TailoredEnd]

I’m killer main and having such a problem with these exact builds that I’ve started running nemesis as a slugger. I infect and iron will doesn’t stop the sounds from that so I can play around that perk, it’s easy to remove pallets and punish early pallets with the tentacle. I just leave them bleeding. Would be better as hag though as you can fake pick ups, baiting out the flashbangs

[@towelman8589]

And Reddit will still say this game is killer sided! I'm probably going to just switch to slug builds

[@woodedgold3084]

ngl a build I love lately is forced hesitation, starstruck, agitation and infectious fright for this situation love turning that match at the start due to ppl playing in this manner way too often

@@Negoose "harass" is a lame word

[@EnigmaEcho42]

It’s literally not advantageous in any way to hook anymore. Another boring piece is running multiple slowdown perks. Just to keep the game somewhat manageable I guess I’m in a place with DBD where if swfs wanna just slam gens and it basically be a “generator repair simulator” go ahead knock yourself out.

[@AkatiTTV]

Slugging is the only way you can really create pressure now if you are struggling

[@necrolicious]

Why do you have to be the "good guy"? You have to deal with getting harassed in-game, but you cover the offenders names so they don't get harassed back by your viewers. Not that I'm interested in harassing anyone, but it is a strange dynamic.

[@FireflyABQ]

Flashbang/Flashlight squads are the hardest (and most salty) of any squad I think. Three killer harassers and one gen jockey. Wild.

[@ShinobuWakuWaku]

"Oh no, why killer's not stupid and slugging?" xD

[@user-ie4uk3ub6c]

I think you still played this really well regardless if they all got out. These survivors were just very good and altruistic but also did the objectives/gens so it’s hard to deal with.

[@c.j.lapeyrouse1861]

Knockout, Deerstalker, Hex: Third Seal and Surge. Use that on any killer with a blindness add on and you'll do ridiculously well. You're welcome

[@arturrrrrw]

Why was the bottom surv blurred out?

[@elsidedits2272]

Just a little note, you can actually insta down a survivor who got up by healing from a dying state and not unhooked so don't have to wait for seconds downing that survivor :)

[@Negoose]

Just a little note, the person who got picked up from the dying state had the perk 'We're going to live forever' given to them, which gives them endurance when picked up from the dying state.

[@DarlinaLTesh]

Easiest fix for this strategy would be to give killers immunity after a flashlight/flashbang/firecracker blind until they successfully hooked someone. Doesn't even need to be a general immunity, just for that specific action, done. This way it can't be "exploited" like shown here and still be a viable strategy without becoming an absolute imbalanced mess of a match.

[@Braveplayer_231]

Bro I understand the pain Survivors whine when killers stop them from doing their objectives but this is ok

[@kluski3423]

Did flashbang get a buff?

[@frost3690]

If I were you I would've just started slugging after the first sabo

[@Darthcobras]

Darm they really cooked you good man. For situation like this, best perks will be Lightborn , knockout, and maybe agitation

[@Jay-n8e4w]

I bet life that if dbd was made rn flashlights and hook sabotaging would not be a thing. Such poor game design that we are just used to at this point.

[@zsoltfalusi8557]

honestly in my opinion if they use that buggy shiet then they have no right to complain about slugging or anything at all, there is a 75% chance that the sound of the flashbang is mute

As a solo main survivor who is not playing 24/7 dh, flash crap…. I agree 100% with Negoose, KILLERS NEED TO SLUG to teach them a lesson, bring the slug build and Sadako/Hag oh they will get under their nerves so quickly, will be a blessing ❤

[@BlasmoBabbings]

I always slug tbh, but aren't they gonna nerf slugging in the future?

[@xerothereaper4158]

Judging with the buffing for flashbang build, hell no!

[@Negoose]

Slugging will most likely get nerfed one way or the other. I could see I nerf to knockout, a new anti slug perk or some sort of base anti slug system.

[@MegaMacX]

tough match. You sounded a bit defeated after that, so i hope you didnt kept playing and did something fun or just took a break in general. If you kept playing more matches i am sure you got even more irritated at the game, the people and everything, which totally isnt the right way to deal with those things. Games are for fun and/or to distract, nothing else, so if you dont have fun, DONT PLAY. ^^ But that being said, that squad actually worked really good together, they outplayed you completely and even avoided that you can snowball, respect to those players for that. I mean, you can think it was done due to ill intentions, to "bully" the killer, but it could also be that they were just super efficient and knew how to use items and perks to their advantage. You also did quite good, it was really close at some points and could've led to a snowball quickly. I think since you kinda got irritated by their playstyle you kinda hugged certain survivors too hard tho, trying to get them down no matter what and maybe even dropping chances for more injures or downs on others. That being said, i think you all did really good, was an intense match. GG :D
