Hey fellow DBD players. Was wondering what build or builds you’re currently favoring?

For survivor, I’ve been running what I call the second chance build. It’s Adrenaline, Unbreakable, Decisive Strike, and Off the Record. DS and Off the Record are kind of redundant, with Off the Record being much more useful, but it can make for some funny locker stuns. Pair it with Dead Hard for even more laughs ( I suck with DH though).

I don’t play much killer since switching to a controller (extended mouse use hurts my hand and wrist) but I’ll still occasionally play Scratched Mirror Myers. I typically run PWYF, Sloppy Butcher, NOED, and either Deadlock or Nemesis. Of course I’ll need to run an indoor map offering but if my map gets nuked by another offering, I still have NOED for some endgame fun.

    For survivor, I almost exclusively play with at least 1 friend, so I’m running a very team-oriented build. I’ve got Botany Knowledge for faster healing, Sprint Burst for running away, Prove Thyself for crazy generator speed, and Kindred for the team coordination value.

    For killer, I play Wraith, Ghost face, and Singularity. Wraith and Singularity have my “good stuff” build: No One Escapes Death, Jolt, and Fear Monger, with Wraith taking Bloodhound as a 4th for better chasing and Sing taking Thrilling Tremors for map info. Ghost face skips Noed (since he has built in exposed), and takes monger, jolt, tremors, and I’m All Ears.

    I’m fairly new to the game, so I don’t have a ton of perks yet, but I’m pretty happy with my builds so far, they feel really solid and useful even if they’re not super synergy or exciting.

      It can be a pain trying to get all the perks you want or think you need. Thankfully, the devs have reduced the grind in the recent years. I have thousands of hours in the game and can remember putting off playing some killers because I didn’t have the “right” build.

        At least the generic perks cover some pretty good bases. I was musing with my friend who got me into it, that while getting everything is an astronomical grind, at least getting any particular thing isn’t so hard, usually like a day to prestige a given person. I’m also very able/willing to buy character packs, so at least I don’t have to grind Iris to get new guys
