FAQ

The short answers. Everything you keep meaning to ask before the trial starts.

What is DBD Builds?

DBD Builds is a fast, searchable library of hand-picked Dead by Daylight builds — for every killer and every survivor. No 40-minute video to scrub through, no Reddit archaeology: just the loadout, why it works, and one click to copy it into your own game.

On top of the builds, you get full references for perks, add-ons and offerings, a build randomizer for when you want the fog to decide, and a community tier list. All in one dark little corner of the internet.

How do perks get ranked on the tier list?

The ranking blends two things: what actually wins at a high / competitive level, and what the community keeps reaching for. So it's opinionated on purpose — a perk that's oppressive in a comp lobby isn't always the one that carries your solo-queue night, and the list tries to respect both.

It's also a living thing. New chapter, balance patch, meta shift — the tiers move with it. Disagree with a placement? Good, that means you're paying attention. Head to the tier list and see where your favourites landed.

Will there be more features?

Yes — this is very much a work in progress (the fun kind). Next up: community builds so you can create and share your own loadouts, player stats, and a small pile of things we keep scribbling on napkins.

In the meantime you can already spin the build randomizer or dig through the full build library. More is coming — bring snacks.

Is the data up to date?

That's the whole point. We track the live game and refresh perks, add-ons, offerings and the meta as chapters and balance patches land. If something looks off right after a fresh patch, give us a day or two to catch up — or tell us and we'll fix it faster.

Can I create my own build?

You can. The build creator lets you drop in four perks, add-ons, an offering, write a note on how to play it, and share the result with a link — no account, no faff.

Publishing your builds publicly so everyone can browse each other's cursed ideas is on the roadmap. Until then, the link is yours to send.

Is DBD Builds official — and is it free?

Free, yes. Official, no. DBD Builds is a fan-made project by My-Monkey — not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Behaviour Interactive.

Dead by Daylight and all of its killers, survivors, perks and add-ons belong to them. We just really like organising loadouts.
