What do we think of the upcoming changes from this PTB?
And here I didn't think Behaviour would ever release another killer as bad as Clown.
Way to prove me wrong. Like, what the hell is Skull Merchant supposed to do to apply pressure? The drones are nearly useless now.
They should also buff deliverance now so the unhook progress speeds up by like 20% or smt
hag, twins, ghostie, and now skull merchant all sound extremely similar with using nearly all the same instruments, boring imo, they haven't really made a good chase theme since Wesker/Knight IMO
The worse Skull lady gets, the fewer people play her. So I welcome the nerf on her behalf.
So they took away my stealth all over fast walk killer for this garbo?
The main facecampers are the tournament players so i think at least that will be solved.
I definitely said it sounds similiar to hag’s chase music lol
Crap! Two weeks ago, The last time I played as the Skull Merchant it was fun. I really think it's my fault beHavior changes this because the Survivor players complained that it was a awfully long match (25 minutes!) But that was because I was red-ranked (iridescent) and to get even +1 takes an immense amount of damage to the Survivors, and they really put up a fight and that caused the match to take so long. And now The Skull Merchant has been nerfed.
Well, I guess I'll simply have to ignore her Special Powers (only waste of time!) and use only Basic Attack just like the Clown and the MindMaster
It’s about time they fixed skull merch, she was so broken. Games were never fun playing against her
They could just delet skull mercho is the worst add they ever made..
yes the music is from The Hag, as I play her a lot, this is a mistake, the devs should give SM some kind of techno sounding chase music.
I’ve gotta be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of the Shattered Borgo changes. I kinda liked how unique the map was before, and now it’s just full of unnecessary clutter.
The camping feature apparently works between floors. So if you’re on The Game and have a survivor hooked up top and you’re on the bottom, it still activates.
"The Skull Merchant Is Dead". Finally.
Can I just say how much I love your channel. I recently took a break from DBD because, well for starters I’m a killer main, and recently the matches I’ve played have gotten worse or harder for me as a killer, it could simply be that the survivors are too like skilled for me, but thanks to your videos on killers and watching how you build/play as them, it has helped me get better at killer and how to know when and when not to chase. So now it feels like a fair match every time I play.
So wait, they've actually added anti-facecamp mechanics?
Bubba mains automatically hit bottom tier lmao
shes just so bad now
Yay I’m glad this piece of garbage is nerfed now people can’t place drones on all the gens
No matter what they do to kris 3-Jenner, I will always hate her
All behavior has done is remove the Skull Merchants one and only viable strategy, whilst also removing the single only thing her power actually did- give her info. That was all it did. "Oh but it made them exposed!" No, Survivors could CHOOSE to allow themselves to be exposed- only dipshits and dumbasses would ever stay in a field long enough to be exposed, especially if it wasn't around a generator that needed to be worked on. It was NEVER something the SM could "force" onto a survivor (as is the case with basically every single other killer that uses exposed mechanics).
So they've not only removed her information, her ability to hold gens (which was all she was capable of doing at all), and her expose mechanic which already sucked, they've given her in return a power that somehow manages to do EVEN LESS. Now survivors not only have to sit in a drone field for EVEN LONGER than they did before- now they have to be in god damn LINE OF SIGHT of the drone, AND it DOES NOTHING if they are STANDING STILL when the laser passes over them- IE something trivially easy to do when out of chase. Meaning that SM's drones do literally nothing at all if the survivor in the field is not being actively chases.
And even IF somehow the stars align and a survivor gets claw trapped by one of these drones, it only ends up doing anything at all if they stay in the field even longer- and all it does is injure them or DW them. IDK who at behavior was responsible for skull merchants design, but they're a god damned idiot.
I’ll be honest seeing how you can unhook during the struggle phase with the anti-camp mechanic I could see BHVR tuning Deliverance to allow self-unhooks during struggle phase too sometime in the future
Yeah i think see this made her bad. I do hope skull get some cooldown in the live. To long to wait for action hurt her
Finally rework this brainless killer
Wow these clown devs made it so you can Kobe on second stage 🤦🏽♂️ time to uninstall this game blows
W
12:20 THATSWHATSHESAID
I really want her gone. She is by far the worst addition to the game. Even a rework can't save her.
She has 2 extra drones now. Is it really a big deal to recall drones from time to time? It actually makes killer more strategic as opposed to just being an easy set up.
Your knowledge is so bad with this killer
Whenever I play Survivor, I get face camped by every single killer, I run them around the map while my team pops 2 or 3 gens then I get face camped bc they spent too much time on me. I really hope they find a better way to deal w/ face camping. I took a 3 year break from the game bc of all the face campers and now with the newer killers added it seems to have gotten worse. (not that it means much but i used to be rank 1 and people would tell me all the time face camping gets better once u get to the rank and i had to break the news to them that it did not get better)
Today I joined a game, skull merchant was the killer.. Boom everyone dc straight away. Just get rid of the killer.
Idc im speaking for all of us we miss huntress😢
🖤
Wesker is another really good camper. Especially if you only get 1 survivor in for the save you can slug him and then force the other two to come in and try.
As a 💀 merchant main she's not dead just switch yo game style
Hey spooky. How is it going. As someone who is REALLY enjoys Dredge, i found an addon that a lot of people sleep on but it is actually very strong. Consider how I use the addon. Worry stone. It reveals the auras of survivors who lock lockers for 6sec. I use that addon to "locker snipe" survivors. Soooooo much fun.
In all honesty I always wondered why not just make it to were if you remain stationary for a certain amount of time within the drones field. Your no longer exposed and when you move again the timer restarts. Make it to were the killer can still see movement but not when they are standing still
She's not even close to being dead. You just have to know how to use her.

So skull merchant went from oppressive to worthless…. BHVR I would like my money back
They should have one time and one time only where they make trapper like absolutely busted
Instant set, 150% move speed, 50% reduced cooldown time base
