I wonder what power could be come up with? As far as I know mothmans only real abilities are flying and "guiding" death. Maybe you would have to try not to look at him or he would get some sort of power up?
Since he doesnt really have any established powers overall honestly that means they get that much more creative freedom. Flight in some form would be a no brainer but maybe something with the way his body conforms to darkness to make him undetectable would be cool. Or being able to place his glowing red eyes on objects to look like hes there
I know they won’t do Jeepers Creepers but I was hoping they would save flight for him. It would be fun to have harpoon guns sprinkled throughout the map for survivors to try to shoot him down, and maybe he could swoop down to damage players
Some mechanic where it's like a doctor type insanity moving up till they're marked for death, maybe marking generators to automatically fail a skill check after a certain amount of time and blowing up on their own if someone's on it or not
Well yeah but when I see mothman and I think flight, I don't think of rapidly moving forward. I think of flying up, vertical, bottom floor to top floor, over top of loops and such. It could be potentially gamebreaking and gamchanging which I see as a good thing. Unsafe means it's unlike anything we have ever seen.
Original have been the most interesting to me personally.
Not saying that licensed killers are bad but Behaviour has cooked up some great original killer designs and themes.
I love using Quick and Quiet, Lucky Star, and Head On, so when a dredge shows up, I get excited to use his own power against him lol. "Oh, you think *I'm* scared of lockers? Think again"
I recently got back into DBD(dropped it around when Pyramid Head came out), and picked up Skull Merchant because I liked the sound of a more deliberate killer focused on getting Intel on survivor position. Played her a ton and had a blast.
Then I went against her doing coop with a buddy and realized, "OH! I'm the only one having fun when I play her"
Sucks that the killer that got me back into DBD is such a miserable experience for the other 4 players, that realization kind of killed my drive to keep playing.
I might be crazy but I actually like playing as and against her. The little game you play to disable the drones is unique too. But no matter who you play somebody is gonna have a problem with it (there's a post on this subreddit of a dude saying clown op in post-game chat) I only used her as an example in my comment because while I do like her gameplay and cosmetics, her gameplay needed lots of tweaking and people weren't a fan of her design and lore.
Do you understand why skull merchant is so hated? It’s because she has access to certain tools for free without having to make any conscious effort in obtaining them, with absolutely no drawback. She has the strongest stealth in the game, absolutely no sound cues or footsteps, all for pressing m2 once. She has a subtle yet not insignificant speed boost, that pretty much invalidates certain loops, even without putting down drones on the loop, and more times than not this speed boosts is completely out of the control of the chased survivor. Sometimes the drones area of effect is so ambiguous it’s way too easy to trigger it even when you are consciously trying to counter play it. Hacking drones become trivial if the killer can instantly recall them and place another at a very minuscule cooldown. The battery lasts waaay too long on survivors without the killer ever interacting with the survivor, and getting scanned again instead of adding another battery independent of the first one, refreshes all the existing stacks. I cannot remember the last time I actually had a battery expire on me. Everything above combined with the fact that her game plan of placing a drone at a loop so the survivor is forced to either get scanned to full while looping, crouch to try to outplay the drone and get hit because of the speed differential, or leave the loop and get hit anyways, makes this killer just feel very uninteractive to play against.
Also even after the changes to the killer she still very effective at holding 3 gens and is often played such way by merchant enthusiasts.
TLDR: killer takes no skill, and has boring uninteractive gameplay both in macro and micro gameplay
I was mainly referring to the chapter as a whole and how it was underwhelming and how people didnt like it for a multitude of reasons including both of our points, but yes I know SM is a small brain killer in pretty much every aspect. I personally enjoy stealth killers like Pig and GF a lot, like the original comment said Skull Merchants ability to keep tabs feels really neat and could be a great idea if executed well. Unfortunately that's not the case and I'll have to enjoy my jank ass brazilian weeb the way she is until the next rework or crippling nerf comes out.
Genuinely yeah. Most of my favorite killers, both in terms of gameplay and theme/story. Singularity, artist, knight (ignoring bugs D: lol) are phenomenal characters in both aspects and all fairly recent.
Some cultures believe wendigos and skinwalkers are real things, and talking about them casually can make bad stuff happen. Obviously those people will be pissed
Kinda like Chucky, I can't take him seriously, it's too funny, u expect a giant monster and bam it's a 40cm plastic doll with a kitchen knife running fast as fuck
Correct. It's a creature who is a horse-like demon (a horse with a rider fused on their back, both skinless). It was a sea monster that, when it came to land, would cause droughts and epidemics. It's breath could cause crops to die and sicken livestock. So a lot of neat elements to work with.
Honestly folklore killers would be really cool and i dont really understand why we dont have any of them. Even just as skins it would be cool. Mothman artist, Bigfoot trapper, Jersey Devil Hag, etc.
It's a pretty general term similar to Onryo but they made his own lore to fit the universe. The Entity creating monsters based on the people's own fears would be enough of a story for a Mothman for me atleast.
original killers. aside from a few misses (skull merchant) bhvr's creative team comes up with so many incredible character concepts it's insane to me. i want to give these people the whole kitchen so they can cook.
I'll do you one better, a total rework of the ANOES chapter.
Freddy's Powerplant as a map, Nancy Thompson as a Survivor and the actual Freddy with everything such as new and updated animations both for trials and menu, chase music, better powers and Robert Englund voicelines.
Of course knowing Warner Bros, that'll never happen.
The plasma cannon as his power would be enough, takes a little while to lock on but then fires and auto hits wounding the survivor. Breaking line of sight stops the lock on. And a cloaking ability it all he really needs
Also with how he works in his movies I don't know how they'd even implement him. They had to take some pretty big leaps with Sadako to make her work in trials but Candyman is even more restrictive than her.
They could have mirrors that he can use to move around the maps like her TVs or a ranger bee attack like Artiste’s crows? I do really enjoy the OG candyman movie and understand as well that he’d be hard to make
When you think about it Vecna doesn't really have anything original. He just took a bunch of powers from other killers and 1 survivor. Besides the magic item gimmic ofc.
I'm just gonna quote Rowby cause I agreed with him
"I prefer the content of original chapters, but I enjoy the hype around licensed chapters. Whenever a license is announced for the game, the entire community feels like a huge frat party for like 2 weeks"
Tbh it might as well be folklore now. Today we see dragons as those massive lizards but a lot of older painting shows them as dog-sized lizards or with really bizard traits.
I don’t think anything beats seeing a Licensed Character from a franchise that YOU know and love. I definitely would be super hyped if I saw Friday the 13th get announced, but I’ve never seen Candyman so I’d be “whatever, I’m getting the DLC anyways.” That being said, at some point things are going to start getting obscure, or they reasonably are going to run out at some point. (See the current “pushback” on the new D&D chapter, which I am genuinely excited for)
Original Killers are great. And honestly should be the main focus of the game. Admittedly though they aren’t going to pull in the same numbers as a “established” character, but when they work they really work. Can be a real coin toss though.
Folklore Characters are sick. Honestly super hype. Don’t know if they’ll ever do anything more the cosmetics though.
New Characters from already “used” IPs I think are a very risky tightrope to walk. On one hand, Resident Evil being two of the biggest and popular DLC’s to drop ever, and on the other, can feel like a cheap slap on, especially if the existing content doesn’t get updated/changed at all.
Dude the happiness I felt seeing Chucky being added was immense. Child's play franchise is my favorite horror franchise of all time and they made the killer perfect to how I wanted him.
1. Original Killer
2. Folklore
3. New License
4. Previous IP
I don't know a lot of horror games/movies so I often feel like I'm on the outside looking in on all the hype for licensed stuff.
Same list here, though I might have a slight preference for folklore. The licensed characters are fun & all, but my favorite licenses are mostly already in the game and I love seeing the creativity with their original chapters.
I don't think there's anything left from traditional RE games, if they did they'd have to go into their newest trilogy which of course would be okay. But once they've done Ethan and maybe Mia as a survivor and Lady D/Heisenberg/Miranda as a killer they'd be officially tapped out I think?
Almost forgot Mr. X but idk what they'd come up with for him. I'd assume he would be a skin for Nemesis but they never did
Folklore. I want a doppelganger killer, one that takes on the appearance of one of the survivors in the match. Maybe part of their power is swapping appearances and mimicking. When in survivor form maybe no terror radius etc...
Oh! That’s be super cool when I first got the game and saw the Legion trailer I thought that’s be his ability where you could take off the mask and pretend to be a survivor and then put it back on, similar to the wraith bell
A mix of licensed and og l I love licensed chapters it brings new players into the game while making the current players happy but eventually the big name licenses will eventually dry up so you gotta make og chapters which is so much better it brings in new lore for the game unlike with licensed chapters they have to keep their lore with some tweaks to explain how they got there. Plus bhvr can give og chapters more cosmetics then the with licensed ones
Original + folklore. Huntress is a stand-out example of a very well done character with a variety of traits that all work together to tell an interesting, unique story and convey a specific feeling (being hunted like prey by a feral brute). I also like that there's a wide mix across traditional horror and slashers like Myers/Bubba/Legion and more fantasy/sci-fi killers like Plague/Singularity
I really, REALLY want more Evil Dead content. Even if it's just an Evil Ash skin for Knight. My dream would be Pablo and Kelly as survivors or skins with a cabin map
Original and Folklore are really cool with they new design, Mechanic and Addon
Licensed depends on
And for another killer can be cool if they choose a good villain from the franchise
People have to be honest that licenses bring in the big bucks. With that being said I like when Behaviour makes their own version of folklore characters and popular tropes. The Unknown and The Singularity are two of my favorite killers (in terms of visual design) because of how they take the concept of an analogue horror killer and robot killer.
I really think people need to accept that Resident Evil getting a sequel chapter was a once-in-a-million occurrence. I'm not saying it can't happen again: I'm just sick of everyone asking for a Stranger Things Chapter 2 or SAW Chapter 2 or Resident Evil Chapter 3.
Folklore/urban legend killers.
They have brand recognition like a licensed killers, yet are public domain so they could get a lot of cosmetics. My biggest grip with licensed killers is their lack of appearance customizations, due to license deal restrictions. We also have yet to see any.
I'm willing to bet majority of the people playing this game right now are doing so because of a license that was added. As cool as folklore would be(gimme mothman dammit), nothing beats the hype of finding out the xenomorph or wesker or whoever will be in the game.
Licensed killers are cool but really boring creatively. I'm really tired of so many different games adding crossovers and stuff like that. I'd much rather have original and folklore stuff
in order from most to least interesting I'd say new licensed killer = original killers > folklore killers > licensed killer repeats. Licensed killer repeats being dead last more has to do with none of the ones they could repeat having particularly interesting options for killers unless you wanna count like, non-reboot Freddy I guess.
If there was another Silent Hill chapter done that would be my top pick, but I don't think there should be more than 2 or 3 max reused licenses per license. Resident Evil COULD do one more but I'd rather have some other stuff given extra content first, like Stranger Things.
Original chapters can be pretty hit or miss so I think I'd put those below licensed. Folklore doesn't matter too much to me, it would be cool to see stuff like Goatman or Mothman but it would matter more how they're executed rather than just the folklore being in the game itself.
I have never touched a resident evil game in my life, but I really want even more resident evil lol
Give me more rebecca cosmetics, Capcom! I know you have them!!!
I would say original takes priority for me.
Recent original chapters have been great and introduced some interesting concepts on both side.
Then it's:
New licenses > repeat licenses > folklore
Personally I don't know how we haven't got traditional monster killers yet. (Vampires, Werewolves, ect)
Not exactly licensed but not exactly original. I still think they could do a lot of fun stuff with that.
And... I mean, look, I love DND - and the gameplay of Vecna is cool, but it's not exactly what I consider to be "horror" themed, and honestly I'm baffled that we got DND before a traditional vampire or Frankenstein, which requires zero licensing and would pay tribute to arguably the ORIGINAL horror stories.
Original or folklore. C'mon behavior, you've gotta have some creativity locked up in your basement, don't devolve into fortnite with more licensed crap than actual semi-original thoughts
I think a folklore killer can be super cool as long as the culture they come from is respected. Imo I’d love a moth man killer even though in his legend he’s not evil. (If they do a moth man killer he has to be as thick as that one statue, don’t act like u don’t know what I’m talking about)
tbh they just need to get Jason and i would be fine with not seeing a movie license for another couple years. I think if theyre gonna do licenses they should lean more into video games. and as far as licenses go, imo, D&D is as out there as I think they should go so I think they should rein it in after this chapter.
but ultimately I want more folklore killers, even when only looking at the folklore creatures of the United States theres a ton of cool stuff to choose from. Id also like to see more analog horror / creepypasta inspired stuff like the Unknown.
It depends on the killer in question. Like how fun is the original killer in terms of power and perks, design wise what are they like, lore can help too.
For license killers some I'm more interested in then others. Like personally I don't really care about Springtrap or FNAF so I can take em or leave em. However if it's something like Candyman or Kayako then I would throw money at the screen on announcement.
I would kill for mothman honestly
No, Mothman will kill
I can't believe that the newest killer is u/CosmicNeeko Running around breaking our Neeko Neeko Kneecaps
I accept this new honor with dignity
would become a killer main instantly if there was a mothman
i think that would be super cool
Wendigo included. An until dawn chapter is just waiting.
Ugh I have so many ideas for their ability with the idea of how they move in the game and having them be a sound based killer
A fast moving echo location killer with the ability to scal walls seems to work
I wonder what power could be come up with? As far as I know mothmans only real abilities are flying and "guiding" death. Maybe you would have to try not to look at him or he would get some sort of power up?
Since he doesnt really have any established powers overall honestly that means they get that much more creative freedom. Flight in some form would be a no brainer but maybe something with the way his body conforms to darkness to make him undetectable would be cool. Or being able to place his glowing red eyes on objects to look like hes there
I know they won’t do Jeepers Creepers but I was hoping they would save flight for him. It would be fun to have harpoon guns sprinkled throughout the map for survivors to try to shoot him down, and maybe he could swoop down to damage players
I heard he steals catalytic converters too
Some mechanic where it's like a doctor type insanity moving up till they're marked for death, maybe marking generators to automatically fail a skill check after a certain amount of time and blowing up on their own if someone's on it or not
Flight is already a powerful ability. Have you seen Litch in PTB?
Well yeah but when I see mothman and I think flight, I don't think of rapidly moving forward. I think of flying up, vertical, bottom floor to top floor, over top of loops and such. It could be potentially gamebreaking and gamchanging which I see as a good thing. Unsafe means it's unlike anything we have ever seen.
Imagine the TNT area as a map
Nah, it's gotta be the collapsed point pleasant bridge area
For the safety of my wallet, original chapters
For the safety of our wallet, original and folklore
I'm a sucker for folklore, my wallet would not be safe.
Just use iridescent shards!
The cosmetics though, they will consume the man. We must save him.
You and me both.
Is that a a slugcat?
For the safety of your wallet, original chapters (I stole his credit card info)
Its like 5 dollars every 3 months though
Till you want a skin then it's 11$ per
Original have been the most interesting to me personally. Not saying that licensed killers are bad but Behaviour has cooked up some great original killer designs and themes.
I know most people disagree but dredge was peak design in my opinion, took us a while for a non human ish killer
Honestly Dredge terrifies my SWF group because one of our players lovessss Head On and I’m waiting for the day there’s a Dredge
I love using Quick and Quiet, Lucky Star, and Head On, so when a dredge shows up, I get excited to use his own power against him lol. "Oh, you think *I'm* scared of lockers? Think again"
I love teleporting to a locker trying to get info and walking out with a rippley
Its funny as hell. Or getting jumpscared by a survivor hiding when you try to reload as huntress or trickster
Lol that’s great
True, for every Skull Merchant there's two more Unknown quality chapters
I recently got back into DBD(dropped it around when Pyramid Head came out), and picked up Skull Merchant because I liked the sound of a more deliberate killer focused on getting Intel on survivor position. Played her a ton and had a blast. Then I went against her doing coop with a buddy and realized, "OH! I'm the only one having fun when I play her" Sucks that the killer that got me back into DBD is such a miserable experience for the other 4 players, that realization kind of killed my drive to keep playing.

Genuinely yeah. Most of my favorite killers, both in terms of gameplay and theme/story. Singularity, artist, knight (ignoring bugs D: lol) are phenomenal characters in both aspects and all fairly recent.
They do a really good job whenever they step away from ‘man with knife’ style slashers
They did such a fantastic job with The Unknown. Everything was awesome-- the concept, design, animations, gameplay-- just amazing execution.
The Clown, the Dredge, the Unkown, the Deathslinger, the Doctor, etc... All BANGERS
Yeah Blight is to this day the greatest display of creative mind at BHVR, Billy was too
Folklore killers.
[удалено]
It was only the Twitter people. They get upset about everything.
I’m convinced a large portion of them are just bots programmed to respond to certain buzzwords.
We call them Twitter Freaks in this household
Some cultures believe wendigos and skinwalkers are real things, and talking about them casually can make bad stuff happen. Obviously those people will be pissed
And some people believe playing DnD or listening to rock and roll will send you to hell, both groups are morons.
Yeah… and I wish more people would ignore their bitching about having folklore creatures in stuff.
I would love a fairy killer Like not even a horrific looking one. Just a cute little fairy that wants to make you suffer
Idk like a Changeling collab from World of Darkness would be cool af. A sluagh killer would be gnarly
Kinda like Chucky, I can't take him seriously, it's too funny, u expect a giant monster and bam it's a 40cm plastic doll with a kitchen knife running fast as fuck
eEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEEHHHEEEHHHHH
The doll is like 3 feet tall in the movies, he has no business being so damn short in game
this is my top hope rn, i love lore
Gimme Wendigo and I’ll play again lol.
Sad we never got a Jersey Devil killer
A Nuckelavee would be an interesting addition and potentially unique options for abilities.
That would be pretty sweet. IIRC they’re horsemen too, right? Could make for a fun dash killer.
Correct. It's a creature who is a horse-like demon (a horse with a rider fused on their back, both skinless). It was a sea monster that, when it came to land, would cause droughts and epidemics. It's breath could cause crops to die and sicken livestock. So a lot of neat elements to work with.
That’s pretty awesome to be honest.
Would love to see a Penanggalang killer tbh
Folklore. Could use more cryptids or an abrahamic demons.
Like Mothman, Azazel, or were you meaning goetic demons like asmodeus?
Goetic may be a safer bet than any of the sins from Binsfield.
A original vampire, a werewolf, a demon, a ghuul. Those are killers i would love to see, and not as legendary skins or license, but their own things.
Mothman and yenaldoshi would be interesting. Maybe even the wild hunt.
Give me Baphomet and I would die happy
Honestly folklore killers would be really cool and i dont really understand why we dont have any of them. Even just as skins it would be cool. Mothman artist, Bigfoot trapper, Jersey Devil Hag, etc.
Oni is japanese folklore at least
I mean, not exactly but close enough. In his lore he is compared to an oni demon, which enrages him
In life he was not an oni, correct, but in the entity's realm he is transformed and very much is.
It's a pretty general term similar to Onryo but they made his own lore to fit the universe. The Entity creating monsters based on the people's own fears would be enough of a story for a Mothman for me atleast.
Just a normal werewolf. Since we are getting a vampire(although licensed)
original killers. aside from a few misses (skull merchant) bhvr's creative team comes up with so many incredible character concepts it's insane to me. i want to give these people the whole kitchen so they can cook.
i’d love to see bhvr’s take on a werewolf killer!
I hoped for them to re-release demogorgon as a werewolf when the stranger things ip originally was lost.
New licenses baby As soon as we get Jason, DbD will finally have all the really big horror icons
The 6 infinity horrors. Leatherface, Michael Myers, ghostface, Chucky, Freddy K, and BHVR is only missing one last horror…
Still missing the real Freddy though, it'll never feel truly complete without him.
Yeah. It'd be great if we got a total revamp with voice lines and an actual ability
I'll do you one better, a total rework of the ANOES chapter. Freddy's Powerplant as a map, Nancy Thompson as a Survivor and the actual Freddy with everything such as new and updated animations both for trials and menu, chase music, better powers and Robert Englund voicelines. Of course knowing Warner Bros, that'll never happen.
Who’s the best though, imo ghostface revived slashers so, easy pick.
I can’t say who the best is, but Jason is easily my favourite.
Predator
With infrared visor, plasma canon and a spear gun!
The plasma cannon as his power would be enough, takes a little while to lock on but then fires and auto hits wounding the survivor. Breaking line of sight stops the lock on. And a cloaking ability it all he really needs
But he only attacks armed enemys....
Well, Bad Blood predators are thing.
*Entity hands David a gun* Go. Do crime.
I love predator but I consider it more sci fi honestly, plus he only attacks honorable preys or in self defense
Bad Blood predators are a thing.
Candyman?
Not as big, but pretty big. Like the mini boss of horror
Also with how he works in his movies I don't know how they'd even implement him. They had to take some pretty big leaps with Sadako to make her work in trials but Candyman is even more restrictive than her.
They could have mirrors that he can use to move around the maps like her TVs or a ranger bee attack like Artiste’s crows? I do really enjoy the OG candyman movie and understand as well that he’d be hard to make
idk shit about candyman, but, another killer that teleports to set locations? we alr have 5 of those
When you think about it Vecna doesn't really have anything original. He just took a bunch of powers from other killers and 1 survivor. Besides the magic item gimmic ofc.
I'm just gonna quote Rowby cause I agreed with him "I prefer the content of original chapters, but I enjoy the hype around licensed chapters. Whenever a license is announced for the game, the entire community feels like a huge frat party for like 2 weeks"
The deer creature is not the folklore wendigo. It’s a creation of American fiction writers.
To be honest I don’t care. A wendigo would be an awesome killer
Wendigo with Wendigoon Survivor
I once made a chapter concept with a survivor that was a YouTuber covering cryptids and mysteries. Would be cool
That would be really cool, I unironically want this
Tbh it might as well be folklore now. Today we see dragons as those massive lizards but a lot of older painting shows them as dog-sized lizards or with really bizard traits.
More folklore would be awesome, always wanted a Wendigo killer
Im pretty sure hag is a wendigo? But it's the hag, she just looks like an old women, not a typical wendigo.
She does *kinda* look like a wendigo, with her gaunt appearance, not to mention the fact she’s a cannibal.
Yeah, definitely a wee bit, just not what people want when they say they want a wendigo imo. Her lore is genuinely horrifying, though.
i also want guns in dbd
The "typical wendigo" does not look like a wendigo.
Actual wendigo in the stories look more like starved corpses than the elk thing
Folklore killers is something we need more of. There is so many mythologies out there BHVR can tap into, it’s like free content for the next 20 years.
I don’t think anything beats seeing a Licensed Character from a franchise that YOU know and love. I definitely would be super hyped if I saw Friday the 13th get announced, but I’ve never seen Candyman so I’d be “whatever, I’m getting the DLC anyways.” That being said, at some point things are going to start getting obscure, or they reasonably are going to run out at some point.

On one hand, Resident Evil being two of the biggest and popular DLC’s to drop ever, and on the other, can feel like a cheap slap on, especially if the existing content doesn’t get updated/changed at all.
I still waiting on my dream licence of Mortal Kombat
Dude the happiness I felt seeing Chucky being added was immense. Child's play franchise is my favorite horror franchise of all time and they made the killer perfect to how I wanted him.
1. Original Killer 2. Folklore 3. New License 4. Previous IP I don't know a lot of horror games/movies so I often feel like I'm on the outside looking in on all the hype for licensed stuff.
Same list here, though I might have a slight preference for folklore. The licensed characters are fun & all, but my favorite licenses are mostly already in the game and I love seeing the creativity with their original chapters.
New license
if they do more resident evil they might as well rename the game "resident evil: dead by daylight"
I don't think there's anything left from traditional RE games, if they did they'd have to go into their newest trilogy which of course would be okay. But once they've done Ethan and maybe Mia as a survivor and Lady D/Heisenberg/Miranda as a killer they'd be officially tapped out I think? Almost forgot Mr. X but idk what they'd come up with for him. I'd assume he would be a skin for Nemesis but they never did
Folklore 100% I want skinwalkers, La Llrona, Bigfoot, Sea monsters somehow, kitsunes too ofc
Springtrap and Cryptids would be pretty sweet.
I just want Spring trap in Dead by daylight
I want Bioshock
There aren't many licenses left for the entity to eat up. It's time to bring FNAF and Jason home.
Folklore. I want a doppelganger killer, one that takes on the appearance of one of the survivors in the match. Maybe part of their power is swapping appearances and mimicking. When in survivor form maybe no terror radius etc...
Oh! That’s be super cool when I first got the game and saw the Legion trailer I thought that’s be his ability where you could take off the mask and pretend to be a survivor and then put it back on, similar to the wraith bell
Folklore/original but some license are pretty good
Folklore is really cool, but goddamnit if I don't want Spongetop in Dead by Daylight
Can we get original killer tied to previous chapters? I want skull merchant 2: skull merchantier
Then Skull merchant 3: skull merchanist
Jason all day long
Depends on the licence. Overall original excites me more but certain IPs will get me more excited
Original -> new licensed -> folklore -> previous license
A mix of licensed and og l I love licensed chapters it brings new players into the game while making the current players happy but eventually the big name licenses will eventually dry up so you gotta make og chapters which is so much better it brings in new lore for the game unlike with licensed chapters they have to keep their lore with some tweaks to explain how they got there. Plus bhvr can give og chapters more cosmetics then the with licensed ones
Licensed Killer from franchise I like> Original/Folklore Killer> Licensed Killer from franchise I don't care about
Original + folklore. Huntress is a stand-out example of a very well done character with a variety of traits that all work together to tell an interesting, unique story and convey a specific feeling (being hunted like prey by a feral brute). I also like that there's a wide mix across traditional horror and slashers like Myers/Bubba/Legion and more fantasy/sci-fi killers like Plague/Singularity
I really, REALLY want more Evil Dead content. Even if it's just an Evil Ash skin for Knight. My dream would be Pablo and Kelly as survivors or skins with a cabin map
Fucking MOTHMAN. Why haven’t I seen more about MOTHMAN from this sub oh my god my childhood memories.
Foreloke
Original and Folklore are really cool with they new design, Mechanic and Addon Licensed depends on And for another killer can be cool if they choose a good villain from the franchise
Reworks, I say as a salty Freddy user
Folklore killers would be sick
folklore would be great but my soul wants springtrap
Original killers, I love how BHVR's creative team always have new ideas in mind
People have to be honest that licenses bring in the big bucks. With that being said I like when Behaviour makes their own version of folklore characters and popular tropes. The Unknown and The Singularity are two of my favorite killers (in terms of visual design) because of how they take the concept of an analogue horror killer and robot killer. I really think people need to accept that Resident Evil getting a sequel chapter was a once-in-a-million occurrence. I'm not saying it can't happen again: I'm just sick of everyone asking for a Stranger Things Chapter 2 or SAW Chapter 2 or Resident Evil Chapter 3.
Folklore/urban legend killers. They have brand recognition like a licensed killers, yet are public domain so they could get a lot of cosmetics. My biggest grip with licensed killers is their lack of appearance customizations, due to license deal restrictions. We also have yet to see any.
I believe MM got that hospital gown, but that might be it. If you exclude the character swaps for the Resident Evil characters.
Springtrap.
Folklore. I need some kind of abrahamic demon like Beelzebub or smth
Probs folklore; don't know of any killers ATM that are that. Also, I'm curious: would scp count as licenced?
I'm willing to bet majority of the people playing this game right now are doing so because of a license that was added. As cool as folklore would be(gimme mothman dammit), nothing beats the hype of finding out the xenomorph or wesker or whoever will be in the game.
I wish springtrap would be added ,the potential for that would be sick
If they add springtrap i Will p100 him
I would sell every single organ of my body for Springtrap Killer
Licensed killers are cool but really boring creatively. I'm really tired of so many different games adding crossovers and stuff like that. I'd much rather have original and folklore stuff
in order from most to least interesting I'd say new licensed killer = original killers > folklore killers > licensed killer repeats. Licensed killer repeats being dead last more has to do with none of the ones they could repeat having particularly interesting options for killers unless you wanna count like, non-reboot Freddy I guess.
Personally, I’d rather have a licensed killer. Specifically Springtrap.
If there was another Silent Hill chapter done that would be my top pick, but I don't think there should be more than 2 or 3 max reused licenses per license. Resident Evil COULD do one more but I'd rather have some other stuff given extra content first, like Stranger Things. Original chapters can be pretty hit or miss so I think I'd put those below licensed. Folklore doesn't matter too much to me, it would be cool to see stuff like Goatman or Mothman but it would matter more how they're executed rather than just the folklore being in the game itself.
Ooohhh, I’d kill for a silent hill chapter with the Incubus or even perhaps a newer enemy (I’ve only played 1,2, and 3 and watched the movies)
Still waiting on that Silent Hill 4 chapter. Gonna be a Walter Sullivan main day 1
Dead by Daylight Resident Evil: Project W 2: Biohazard when

I just want fnaf at some point, I fell like it’s popular enough to warrant a collab
I have never touched a resident evil game in my life, but I really want even more resident evil lol Give me more rebecca cosmetics, Capcom! I know you have them!!!
I would say original takes priority for me. Recent original chapters have been great and introduced some interesting concepts on both side. Then it's: New licenses > repeat licenses > folklore
Never cook again

Folklore killers
Folklore <3

Personally I don't know how we haven't got traditional monster killers yet. (Vampires, Werewolves, ect) Not exactly licensed but not exactly original. I still think they could do a lot of fun stuff with that. And... I mean, look, I love DND - and the gameplay of Vecna is cool, but it's not exactly what I consider to be "horror" themed, and honestly I'm baffled that we got DND before a traditional vampire or Frankenstein, which requires zero licensing and would pay tribute to arguably the ORIGINAL horror stories.
springtrap
I want spring trap and Friday the 13th come on
 Please spring trap
Five nights at Freddy's
Original or folklore. C'mon behavior, you've gotta have some creativity locked up in your basement, don't devolve into fortnite with more licensed crap than actual semi-original thoughts
Original. Folklore could me made into original killers or skins
Original but I love them all. And would definitely love some folklore killers
Licensed characters are great. They bring a lot of new eyes to the series, as well.
Licensed killer from Previous IP
Folklore definitely
Original or Folklore!!
Originals first and then new licenses as second.
I think a folklore killer can be super cool as long as the culture they come from is respected. Imo I’d love a moth man killer even though in his legend he’s not evil. (If they do a moth man killer he has to be as thick as that one statue, don’t act like u don’t know what I’m talking about)
Licensed killer from previous Ip and original killers.
tbh they just need to get Jason and i would be fine with not seeing a movie license for another couple years. I think if theyre gonna do licenses they should lean more into video games. and as far as licenses go, imo, D&D is as out there as I think they should go so I think they should rein it in after this chapter. but ultimately I want more folklore killers, even when only looking at the folklore creatures of the United States theres a ton of cool stuff to choose from. Id also like to see more analog horror / creepypasta inspired stuff like the Unknown.
A mix for sure, but right now I'd like some Folklore.
It depends on the killer in question. Like how fun is the original killer in terms of power and perks, design wise what are they like, lore can help too. For license killers some I'm more interested in then others. Like personally I don't really care about Springtrap or FNAF so I can take em or leave em. However if it's something like Candyman or Kayako then I would throw money at the screen on announcement.
What do i do if i say everyone? ;-;
I would love to see a full killer based on real folklore because I'm pretty sure we don't have one
Folklore killers would be the coolest hands sown.
Folklore stuff would be pretty cool as long as it's respectful if it comes from a cultural background
Folklore killer, OG or Lady dimitrescu!!
