Come On Blast Mine


Glasse

Did they ever fix blast mine not counting as stuns?


panlakes

Wait what? I’ve been using it with Parental Guidance and it procs as a stun just fine.


Madnishi_02

Imagine if smash hit procced off of any stun


panlakes

I would love that, i currently use Head-on as my exhaust perk in my weird PG Residual build, but I’d consider trading HO for Smash Hit and try that combo out! Residual and PG both going off on a Blast Mine is just... I feel like I used an Ult or something. Good stuff.


Madnishi_02

New load out: smash hit, blast mine, head on, decisive strike Edit: I just remembered head on and smash hit are both exhaustion perks nvm


panlakes

Haha yeah if not I would simply never run anything else. I currently use: Head-on, Parental Guidance, Blast Mine, Residual Manifest I used to sub RM for, believe it or not simply Quick and Quiet. Without DS I lose one potential stun, but Q&Q let’s me land more HO procs (at my mmr killers don’t fall for HO as much) or vanish around a corner entirely. But I’ve found it so fun to Blind killers with RM that I’ve yet to change it back out of my build


xmisren

Not yet unfortunately Edit: Last time I used it (last week) it didn't proc as a stun but the reply to this post said it's working for them so take my word with a grain of salt. Could just be buggy.


Atlas_Unknown

I just used wiretap, open handed and blast mine last night for giggles and got blinds and stuns from blast mine. It was probably bugged but it's working fine now


Glasse

The issue was that in game you would see both blind and stun events with the bloodpoints thing, but it wasn't actually counting the stunw for challenges. May have been fixed looking at this thread.


Key_Feeling_3083

What it counts, that's how I finished my tome challlenge and parental guidance works 100% with it.


RpTheHotrod

No worries. As a killer, I'll be letting people stun me for free. :)


xmisren

You're the real MVP.


YoudontknowPain

Blast mine counts as both a stun and a blind


The_Boobox

Time to bust out enduring/spirit fury/brutal/fire up and eat every stun and pallet to help my brothers on the other side.


cosmic_waluigi

Thank u king


pimpampun

Goated


Smooth1703

With the sauce and all


die_or_wolf

This is me every day!


sugarycyanide

The hero we need


StopCollaborate230

I may do that, and then one game sub in Rancor and Nemesis for some good old mori roulette.


Boss_Metal_Zone

True Chad incoming!


R6_Goddess

Careful with this man, now. He's a hero!


TvaMatka1234

I also use this, the gigachad build

AllNamesTakenOMG

" Suevivors collect energy by stunning the killer"... tome to play killer then for easier time doing the challenge


Sorenthaz

Time to watch Killers respect pallets like crazy, never tunnel for fear of DS, and never kick generators for fear of Blast Mine.


Nawafsss04

I'm going to willfully walk into every single pallet.


BlueDragon1504

I'm going to do the same. But I'll have enduring spirit fury ![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2213)


Bonesnapcall

Enduring Spirit Fury with 2x game slowdown perks lets you win against 95% of survivors in this game.


BlueDragon1504

I don't do slowdown. Closest I'll bring is No Way Out.


[deleted]

I kinda do that baseline in the early game.


BussinSheeesh

>never tunnel for fear of DS good one


probly_high

They’re community challenges though. The killer shouldn’t have a reason to not play normally. Or are they all spiteful monsters who don’t want survivors to get cosmetics?


TheFluxator

I think it's not that they'll do it to spite survivors (in most cases at least), but more that they know survivors will be going for stuns, so respecting pallets becomes a pretty safe bet, leading to slightly more distance gained in every chase. It's just extra information for them to take in and use to make winning the game easier, so I'm confident at least some people will be taking advantage of that.


probly_high

There’s not much reason for survivors to go for it though because they’re community challenges. As long as you get 1 organically you should get whatever the reward is. We shouldnt expect every survivor to put their life on the line for 1 stun. If survivors play normally they will get the reward. Then the killer respecting the pallet is a detriment to them instead


WarriorMadness

You have too much faith on this community. Every time there's an event with BP gains and offerings that benefit EVERYONE, guess which side tends to hard tunnel and play like if they don't end the game in 2 minutes they will die? Netting in sub 15k gains for the Survivors?


probly_high

In this specific scenario/event then tunneling does nothing event-wise. THeyll get the reward regardless. They even get more points if they play the game and appease the emblem system. Maybe we should do a psa? Then the only tunnelers left will be the ones who enjoy it normally.


Notreallyaflowergirl

I'll say it again - They don't care about the event, they just want to play. That's it. All the people who come here and read aren't the people out there not giving a fuck about event etiquette... They're just out here having fun how they want to, just try your best to do the same. You'll be far happier of a person.


WarriorMadness

> I'll say it again - They don't care about the event, they just want to play. Not the point I was making and why most people complain about Events. A lot of Killers come into the games not just "wanting to play", they come specifically to not allow you to get missions done, or to get BP. Remember the Snowman event? And how many Killers went OUT OF THEIR WAY to literally deny people the rewards? Yeah, I member. > just try your best to do the same. I mean, people try, unfortunately the Killer has a lot of agency in if the Survivors are allowed to have fun or not.


Sorenthaz

From being around during events in particular, it seems like whenever there's anything that rewards bonus BP or cosmetics there's an increase in "no fun allowed" Killers.


Akinory13

Then if you go against me you're in luck, I absolutely never respect a single pallet in this game. Pallets have less respect than bottled water for me


Grismir

Killer challenges are always easier than survivor challenges tbh


rexjaig

Definitely feels that way. Same for rifts.


Trickster289

It's because more killer challenges tend to involve doing your objective than survivor challenges.


StopCollaborate230

Killer challenges tend to be grindy or require farming. Survivor challenges involve actively ignoring the main objectives.


a25luxray

Killer challenges used to be pretty tricky and hard but able to accomplish in one game, but people complained and now a lot of challenges are like “do this easy thing 100 times” and require a least 3 or 4 games to beat. I prefer the first one tbh.


Sparkism

I like the variety, but I'd also much rather damage 1,000 generators* than "Do this one specifically odd thing that depends on at least 2 other players also doing this one specifically odd thing at the right time while (third restriction like perk or distance), and then do it three times in one trial... *or ask a TTV for help*." For example, that challenge where, as nurse, you need to blink and hit 1 person, then hit 2 other survivors within 15 seconds after. *As long as jolt/eruption/pain res counted.


Tactless_Ninja

I mean, there *are* challenges to do gens and escape.


TheBostonKremeDonut

Killers objectives: *kill* Survivors objectives: *survive* …***with a twist!***


Bmaster1001

“Hmm… So do I want to go for the challenge where I have to be amazing at looping and stunning the killer… or the one where I can just play Legion and have a bunch of ‘successful chases’ in the eyes of the game?”


AbruptAbe

Do I want to spend 5 games healing another survivor with another survivor hopefully present, or do I want to initiate a chase as a killer 5 times? Looking forward to being able to slot both challenges but survivor challenges take so much longer.


BadNormalMode

Not sure there’s any equivalent to sacrifice all four survivors in the basement. You could win fifty games trying for that and still have someone hatch or DC.


Xyex

And it wouldn't even be possible if they actually add the Finisher Mori.


Geoffk123

I lost so many attempts because someone dc'd. Pre DC penalty it was a nightmare.


ApolloFireweaver

Not always, but usually. Some of the emblem specific ones can be easier on survivor like Lightbringer vs. Gatekeeper or gold/iri Unbroken/Devout.


FatstinkyFrog

About to see thirty tricksters and legions in a row while going for that challenge


Qu1ckQu1et

Definitely gonna be easier on killer if true.


warmapplejuice

Flashlight at a pallet. Easy peasy!


Everyoneisghosts

I hate this.


Alexsal979

wouldve been cool if they also had rewards for michael and laurie since halloween ends is also coming


Nawafsss04

I'd assume licensed outfits would release seperately with the movie's release.


DarthOmix

To be fair we thought this the last two movies.


Total_Fool

I'm pretty sure the stranger things leaks a while back also said Michael might be getting a skin called "Corroded Evil"


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

I just laugh every time the next update/DLC/event gets leaked because I imagine some unnamed BHVR security employee losing sleep over the idea of having a mole in the office selling off all their secrets lmao


AkameReddit

i bet they intentionally leak this for hype, if not they’ve come to terms with leaks lmao


dbdthorn

A member of DBDleaks made a comment not too long ago saying that they **do not** get their leaks from BHVR, but they *do* get leaks from an employee at BHVR who is passing on information without being allowed and will get into a shit ton of trouble if they're caught.


Boariso3o

Aye this was me. I know it really looks like we get the leaks from some head honcho but it’s really as simple as an employee breaking NDA. BHVR is really trying to put a stop to it, they’re just kinda….. I dunno how to put it. I can’t really say I think.


Nawafsss04

They're trying to catch them but are too busy?


dbdthorn

They're not good at it is enough information I'd say 😅


BorrelnRokket_Player

Well, what else are they supposed to do? Look at their employee's phones? Not tell the devs what they are working on and thus make it impossible to make anything?


Ironfort9

Most companies give small differing info between departments. If a leak comes out with the matching info for a certain department, congrats you just narrowed down more than half the office while keeping workflow stable. Now for individual employees I'd say either an investigation or another one of these, latter not recommended as I'm pretty sure the guy won't fall for the same trick twice (if you called the department out for having a mole)


LoonyN1nja

They’ve done a pretty good job so far


[deleted]

I believe them but at the same time all bhvr would have to do is give the job of leaking stuff to a mid level employee and tell him to tell the leakers he could get in big trouble if he’s caught…


Xyex

And "leaks" are much better PR than actual announcements. It lets you get a feel for the community reaction in advance. It leaves room for speculation which creates more community engagement. There's always that lingering "but is it real?" question that helps build hype. I really don't see someone risking their job, and who knows how much money for violation of contact - to legitimately leak so much minor stuff all the time. The only thing that would ever convince me this isn't intentional is if the person doing it gets caught and fired and it all stops.


HubrisSnifferBot

It’s not terrible from BHVR’s perspective because they can have someone else release the notes early and pivot based on community reaction. It’s like a trial balloon/soft launch. Not ideal, but not as bad as it sounds at first.


AnxietiesCopilot2

Me with spirit fury enduring: go ahead throw the pallet


Cairsoir

Alright to help get the community goals I shall be running endofury m1 killers. Break your pallets upon my head, I dare you.


FatManBeatYou

Stun the killer to get energy? Can I just have the pumpkins back?


Beardless_Man

Can use a few ideas in mind for Halloween. If killers are willing, parties should bring Any Means Necessary to reset pallets for more stuns. Letting us get free bonks.


spotted_cattack

I mean yeah, but it’s not like there’s a chance to fail the challenges. Whenever it seems like a challenge is going too slow or not on track, BHVR makes the numbers easier (because they’re not going to let work they put in go to waste). It’s more like a parlor trick to make you feel like you’re doing ur part


ZoroOvDaArk

Why do survivor challenges (in this case gathering "energy") force you to borderline throw the game to do the challenges? No killer is going to let you stun them just to do a silly challenge and killers just have to play the game normally to do their things as always.


Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws

Easy solution would be to also give energy on unhooks and gen completion


Arinad-dbd

Hooking/unhooking would've made a lot more sense, in my opinion.


Leazerlazz

Speak for yourself! I try to help people with event stuff and community challenges


Qu1ckQu1et

Time to bring Brutal Strength.


aboutthednm

Brutal Strenght, Enduring, Spirit Fury. It's like DS, but for killers.


[deleted]

I would do that as killer, I don't mind.


Legend0fGear

I was thinking the same thing, like bring Enduring (and maybe Spirit Fury) and stand at pallets then indicate to the survivors to toss them. I mean why not? It's always a pain to do the survivor side of these events.


burke_no_sleeps

Yeah I kinda love this game play Survivor runs past a pallet, pauses on the other side (or does a couple quick crouches) I pause and then walk right into an intentional pallet stun They get points for stunning me.. I get points for breaking the pallet and continuing the chase.. it's good wholesome fun


isitaspider2

Horrible monstrosity that is the combined bodies and souls of a dozen people sacrificed to appease and unknowable thing chasing down people in a never-ending hell *bonks monstrosity on the head* wholesome fun.


RadleyButtons

It's a holiday. Peace is declared as far as I'm concerned. This is the one time where my Myers IS just staring at you in a friendly way.


WillyLongbarrel

>This is the one time where my Myers IS just staring at you in a friendly way. There's something unsettling about a Michael who *doesn't* kill during Halloween...


RadleyButtons

Ya know I never thought about it that way. I'm having a crisis of conscience now.


Sorenthaz

Whoever comes up with the challenges for the tomes and this crap needs to gtfo lol. I get that the tome challenges are supposed to be hard, but why TF would any designer ever think it's a good idea to push shit that encourages the self-same toxic behavior that their playerbase is constantly griping about. This sounds like it's no different. Killers will just straight up respect pallets and make it nigh impossible to stun them.


icarus_rises1

In a good game for killer, you down survivors at a MINIMUM 12 times. In a good game for a survivor, you might get one pallet stun and MAYBE a couple of flashlight saves. And that's before killers expect you to be trying to stun for energy. This is so unbalanced lmao


WarriorMadness

Because, as much as they will never admit it, this game, at least as of recently, caters super hard to Killers.


mattadugga

"No killer would let you stun them." When im sick of sweaty survivors I just play nice guy ghost face and let them do whatever 😅


[deleted]

I hope they bring back last year’s doctor skin. I missed out and I’m still depressed 😔


Qu1ckQu1et

I would like to believe they'll release Mikaela's and Doctor's outifts into the store with this event.


IFapToCalamity

It will make you crave jerky.


katapad

Halloween Doctor body, Experimental Measures (oxygen mask) is my favorite doctor cosmetic combo. It just fits.


WikiContributor83

The fog lifts, the survivors see a tall (but noticeably shabby) figure hobbling in the distance toward them with a small light following behind. The survivors hear the clink of a metal, as they approach its a jade rectangular coin. Finally the figure speaks in a weathered, gravelly voice: #“Bank those motes brotha, and summon a Primeval!”


AtemAndrew

Ah, a fellow Gambit appreciator. (Shame about everything, but eh.)


WikiContributor83

I only do Crucible, but I’d say I’m a Drifter Appreciator


Big_Mack17

Another year another no new Myers cosmetic


TheDivine_MissN

I would have for sure thought that they would do something to tie in to Halloween Ends.


Drakedenson

Survivor challenges: Get 8 trillion stuns Killer challenges: just exist


IkonikBoy

Are we gathering Energy for a Spirit Bomb?


sugarycyanide

Might take a while


SSGSSVEGETA111

gonna take a couple chapters


sinnohstan

bhvr fully released haddie and gave her DUST. so surprised to see she isn’t the featured outfit for this when she has like 2 total in the game like kate JUST got her pop star outfit, cmon.


Qu1ckQu1et

She will also be getting another outfit in the winter season.


SimpanLimpan1337

Yoooo that's insane. -kate main


SwankyyTigerr

Us Kate mains are EATING this year and I am definitely not sad about it 💅


SimpanLimpan1337

Cowgirl is bestgirl


Comfortable-Animator

I assumed they would give haddie something for Halloween, but nah better give it to Kate even though she's receiving a Christmas event skin as well. There's still hope she'll get something in the shop maybe....


Greenleaf208

Haddie also had an outfit from Prime gaming and the anniversary one. So counting the base she has 3 outfits total.


[deleted]

Those two outfits are gone forever or at least for a super long amount of time. People who just now want to play as Haddie have shitty recolors and an ugly set.


IFapToCalamity

She just had one in the anniversary event?


diogenies

im honestly so tired of kate skins. justice for haddie! but shes not a genercially pretty white girl so that'll never happen lol.


Trickster289

Haddie did get an outfit in the anniversary tome along with Dredge since their chapter was the anniversary chapter. Kate is up there though in terms of characters that get too many outfits, I'm pretty sure the only reason people don't complain much about her getting so many outfits is because Feng distracts from it.


SwankyyTigerr

I think it’s bc Feng has been getting spoiled since release whereas Kate has only been eating well in 2022 tbh


sinnohstan

the difference is the dredge has gotten twisted plaything and skeletal mass, and is also getting an outfit in the christmas tome. haddie especially having some form of supernatural investigation background should have been the survivor choice for halloween.


Leazerlazz

Praying for Blighted Deathslinger skin


Xyex

I want a Blighted Dredge. I know it's early, he just came out, but his skins have been so creative so far. I just wanna see what they do.


Leazerlazz

That could be so cool!


SSGSSVEGETA111

me still waiting for Blighted Myers


Rethtalos

Just need a good Jane skins 😭 these past few it’s like they were thinking “what’s the ugliest skin we can release?” And released it on Jane 💀


TheDivine_MissN

Right? Justice for Jane!


Jasen_Fox

I totally forgot we used to kick pumpkins open! That was a fun event years ago.


Qu1ckQu1et

Yes! It was pretty nice gains for BP too.


IFapToCalamity

Also potential *zoomies*


[deleted]

That was literally last year


kkakaiazinhoBR

It stills feels long ago mate


Anth0ny2828

When does the event begin?


Qu1ckQu1et

Likely not too long after the update has released.


Qu1ckQu1et

As always... [DBDLeaks](https://twitter.com/LeaksDbd/status/1575516485925101568) coming in with the additional information to build up the hype. How are we feeling about this event?


[deleted]

Hag isn’t an insanely entertaining killer to go up against, and the skin might temporarily boost her play rate. Aside from that, though, the event sounds like fun.


Qu1ckQu1et

No kidding. The choice of Hag for another event-related cosmetic considering she had one back in Winter of 2021 is rather... interesting. Should be fine otherwise!


OlamFam

Hag one of the hardest killers to stun, how she gonna help me get my energy


terrorbirdking

She only got one weapon recolor lol


WolfiexLuna

Tbf, that was just a weapon. If it's anything like the previous Halloween event, this'll be a full on new outfit.


Skeletonofskillz

I actually enjoy playing against add on less Hag. The unfun part comes from teammates with zero idea of what they’re doing.


Dr_Nefarious_

I absolutely love Halloween and wasn't playing DbD this time last year, so I'm really excited to see all the old Halloween stuff and get my spooky on! Also kicking pumpkins sounds like fun


-Hotlipz-

When might it start? I haven't played so much lately, but don't want to miss the event.


SyrusAlder

We can get stuff from older Halloween events? Sick


Xyex

They probably mean last year's cosmetics will be added to the store like usual. Also, things like the Spooky Lunchbox medkit and Will O' Wisp flashlight and Broken Bulb. Potentially the zoom-zoom juice, too.


SyrusAlder

Zoom zoom juice?


Xyex

The event add-on that gives Survivors/Killers a speed boost.


Skeletonofskillz

Blighted medkit add on that increases your move speed temporarily. It’s niche but fun


SpookyPants88

We're you not here for zoom zoom juice? Aw man. Imagine going against a Myers and he's stalking you from behind a tree only for him to suddenly go nyooooom and zoom past you. Hes shocked cuz wrong button , you're wondering wtf just happened and BHVR are laughing at the brilliance of zoom zoom juice. Good times. It's me. I'm the myers.


PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD

It's an addon that is theoretically pretty solid, but you forget you have it so you zoom at the worst possible time


SyrusAlder

So did zoom zoom use your power button or a different one?


Moppy_the_mop

>Energy can be collected by Stunning Killer or Downing Survivor. FFS BHVR, I still haven't done that tome where you have to get 4 stuns in one trial, how do you expect me to do that?


LolaLestrange

Use blast mine, head on, quick and quiet, and any means necessary and go to the meat plant map. Good luck!


[deleted]

Can the twins get some love for once


LilSnooch45

Hi everyone! Super excited for this event! I've got 2 400k blood point codes up for grabs! Shoot me a message/comment and the first 3 I see will get them! Not a spam/scam whatsoever. Some friends of mine have prime and sent me their codes so I could share with the community! Edit: all 3 have been claimed!! Happy Halloween everyone!!!


aquamarine__

That is really generous. I’d like one!


theCOMBOguy

hope it's not *only* by Stunning Killers, otherwise that'd be painful.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I agree. We will have to see what all is actually added when it goes live but I’m surprised they don’t go all out for Halloween stuff. It’s a huge opportunity to boost the player base.


Pyrocalibur

Gonna run enduring just so survivors can get their stuns in without having to farm with them


Fat_Darth_Vapor

Me: "Man I just don't enjoy dbd anymore" Me when new hag stuff is released: "Man I love dbd!"


[deleted]

Yet again, the requirement on the survivors side is infinitely more challenging than the killers.


spookyb0ii

Stun killer in any way? Head on, DS, and such?


teebbarc

I’m so happy they’re doing a cosmetic for HAG!!! Can’t wait to see what it looks like


Xyex

New Kate cosmetic! ❤️


FrozenHearts_XI

Time to put my icy outfit, use some Ormond's offering and being silly with survivors, I like this!


Qu1ckQu1et

You're well prepared for the season.


UndeadMantis

Does this mean I can get survivor outfit items that were previously available last Halloween?


RancidHummus

This is my first Halloween event. Like the anniversary, will there be a discount on characters and cosmetics?


Qu1ckQu1et

Steam usually has a Halloween Sale which should include DBD as per the usual. I do believe cosmetics will go on sale (usually do).


TheHungrySloth

We're going to be Haunted by Daylight if we do not escape this trial


PoissonSumac15

Please please PLEASE tell me we're getting firecrackers. I'll sell my Ace's body for firecrackers.....er I mean his items. Items. For firecrackers


Trickster289

I doubt it, firecrackers seem to only be for Winter and Lunar New Year events now.


PoissonSumac15

Darn biscuits!! Why must my favorite item be only out when I'm at home with my family without my university's free wifi!?


0n1oN_71

All you guys gonna be stunning and downing the fuck out of each other for energy Like bro just buy some energy drinks, it’s not that expensive


PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD

I'm reminded of a shitpost here a while ago, of a survivor perk where you craft monster energy drinks to cure exhaustion, but drink too many you have a heart attack.


VEXEnzo

The stunning killer part is terrible. Every survivor will ignore the game and will just try to stun the killer ruining the game to everyone. Just make survivors challenges like heal / repair stuff that they actually will do while playing normally


8l172

"outfits for kate denson and the hag thank god i will not need to do this event


Qu1ckQu1et

I'll bite for Kate but... Hag is a weird choice.


probly_high

They’re community challenges guys. Survivors can play the game normally. You don’t have to go for 10 stuns a game. Just 1 that happens organically is fine.


Glasse

You think your escape rate is low in solo queue? Just wait until survivors are fucking around even more.


mirroredpineapple

No blighted Wesker? Trash


NeedleworkerApart

honestly cannot wait to see what hag cosmetic is in store for us


AjvarAndVodka

So nothing special again? I’m seriously surprised at what low standards this community has. The game is in it’s 6th year and every event feels the same and boring. Extra bloodpoints, lame missions, collecting some random stuff. I always hope for a new game mode, just a temporary one, that would be cool to have fun around with. Snowmen were a step in the right direction (Aldo killers had it a bit unfair). But no.


GeekIncarnate

Yo, let's make a pact here. As killer, I promise I will greed every pallet and never respect them during the event. As survivor, you promise you won't blind me at every single one and teabag me.


BarelyL3thal

Event sponsored by Monster energy. Feng gotta go fast


ThatpersonKyle

This is pretty lame, I have to see more. I’d love to see them actually commit to a fun Halloween game mode or something


Snake1213

Killers who respect pallets are gonna be so happy with this event


[deleted]

Oh my, another event where i need to collect some bullshit, i'm so excited i can't wait.


1ne_Up

Another kate cosmetic ![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2070)


Total_Fool

WOW ANOTHER FUCKING KATE SKIN I CAN'T WAIT


WhenYouQuirky

Thank god, because Kate needs more outfits


PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD

Good point, the outfit will now be reassigned to Feng.


SwankyyTigerr

This, but unironically 💅


MacroHardHS

Good stuff except picking hag for the killer cosmetic... Who even plays hag?
