Today, we’re talking about Dredge’s new crab skin cosmetic from Dead by Daylight’s recent collection, and how it continues a long history of releasing cosmetics that block a good portion of the screen.

the funny part is that skin if used in the ptb doesnt block the screen as much as in the normal game so think itll be fixed when the castlevania update happens. weve had a similar issue with dredge on his war is hell skin with the arms not being visible on screen unless using shadowborn
That Dredge cosmetic is like being a 5 year old in the back seat and trying to look out the front of the car . . .
All things evolve to crab
My eyes!
I'm still waiting for them to fix Deathslinger's Iron Maiden weapon skin. The iron sights for that skin is absolutely terrible. You can barely see out of it and compared to his other skins, it's just awful.
this is more evidence that everything evolves to crab
so they are starting to nerf killer with skins
I understand why first person games have the characters weapons n' hands on screen so you can get a idea of what you have, however i feel that there should always be an option to lower the hand n' weapons on the screen. Honestly i like the idea of frist person modes having the weapon positions match the 3rd person view, if you wanna look at your weapon just look down a bit or have a weapon inspection button, or a personal favorite, a button that turns off n' on the first person view model.
Bran you missed it in the description of the skin, you gotta use the X-Ray filter. Hehe
The doll skin for the huntress is one of the biggest perpetrators of this issue
I REMEMBER WHEN BRAN WAS A HEATHER MAIN!
A small price to pay for crab
This may seem like a nothing burger to you, but this is actually a gameplay problem imo. The Killer needs to be able to observe and scan their surroundings, and having huge meaty claws taking up damn near 70% of the vertical screen space and having you about 40% of the center to work with is just ass. I play a lot of shooters and I can't tolerate the gun taking up the center of the screen, this is just egregious and annoying. They need to rethink their viewmodels and have them stop taking up too much real estate on the screen.
this is 100% a disadvantage at a premium and I am 100% buying into it.
The dev's are one sided I am surprised they didn't block more screen sooner.
of course BHVR tests the cosmetics, they just don't play the game so they don't see the issue
Time for crab
at first i was like "it can't be worse than some of the other weapon skins, right?" but boy was i wrong…💀
man, i hope they revisit linked sets and give us more freedom with mixing and matching. licensed and unlicensed. i do understand tho that in terms of licensed skins bhvr might not be able to do much since it might not be up to them, but we can dream. especially knowing that there are licensed skins in the game that are unlinked.
I would have liked to see the video rather than the pic only.
Ur right this vid was a complete nothing burger. Shoulda clicked off when U said😭😭. I know now to trust Ur word, bran.
It's sad that you have to go outside DbD and find a video or stream to get a preview of what killer skins look like in first person just to prevent buyer's remorse, especially since there are no refunds.
im just glad that i did not buy the new dredge skin
I just wanted a cool crab skin for my main, so how can I hit anything that I can’t see?
Might get the body “part” still… generally some skin is a handicap and some are advantageous. That is just kinda how skins are.
A light fix for this would be opacity 50-70% on the “hands/weapon” so you still can “see”.
Or just move them out to the side or lower down in FPV of the killer.
