"don't be discouraged if you don't last long in chases at first" me, sobbing: thank you, I needed that

A good tip: never expect hit boxes to work in your favour

Don't be discouraged if you don't last long at first My first girlfriend felt that

I always run to lockers, but never get in the locker. I run up to them and walk/stealth away. 9 times out of 10, the killer slows down to check.

Me: watching DBD guide while already knowing everything in the guide Also Me: "yaaay shmolty."

He has returned to bless us once more

A couple of recommendations, when you're playing without friends, I'd recommend the perk kindred, it gives you important info on who's gonna save the person on hook, where the killer is going when they hook someone, and helps your team know when to unhook you, especially at lower ranks where they sometimes don't bother. I'd also recommend you only ever use medkits to heal yourself, generally you can heal another injured player with time to spare if you position away from the killer, and if you get injured with no survivors nearby later that game, you might need your kit. Medkits are the strongest item in the game because you can heal yourself with them, allowing your teammates to focus on gens in the meantime. Finally, even though it's not an amazing perk, Deja Vu is a great perk for preventing 3 gens, always work on one of the gens revealed by this perk and you'll never get a situation where the killer makes it impossible to win because they can protect every gen at once.

Bruh. “Your main goal is to” My brain: “Blow up, and act like I don’t know nobody” The video a second later: “Blow up, and act like I don’t know nobody” Lmaooooooooo iconic.

How to Be A Good Survivor: -Learn your perks -Learn the maps -Learn how to run -Know your enemy -Stop being afraid

Tea bagging and clicking is always appropriate when the killer is hook camping and not even pursuing other survivors to give the hooked player a chance to rejoin the game. Sometimes you have to just tea bag them to get them away from the hook. Nothing is worse than a killer who just sits there and stares at you. Unless you’re grouped up with other players in voice its nearly impossible to coordinate someone taking the hit while another player unhooks the unlucky camped survivor. Smooth brain strats. Camping never gets a full match sweep because while they killer stands around, the 3 other survivors gen rush and leave. The camped survivor loses a rank and the camper made the game unfun for everyone because there was no challenge in gen rushing and walking out.

Also keep in mind that the killer has First Person POV. They cannot see you nearly as easily as you can see them and you can use this to hide "in plain sight"

I’ve played the game for three years. The game is so bad, I love it.

“Maps are an item you can’t take..... Keys!” 💀

I love how he's actually uploading what he likes. because I was always thinking of playing this game but it never looked like my type of game. thank ya shmolty

A tip: Screaming for dear life whiles vaulting with give you a 100% speed when being chased

Just started dbd tonight! It was really tough, but I’m hoping to get better through practice and vids like yours!

Me: *sees shmolty notification Also me: *instantly clicked

Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you enjoy this video, it took me quite a while to make. Will be getting back to more frequent uploads and streams now that it’s done. Much love!

I would also suggest new players to play Feng Min as training wheels. Her personal perks are very helpful for new players (Technician and Lithe). Once you have skill checks and basic looping down, I’d move onto Bill or David.

4:11 toolboxes used to be good at repairing gens, but the devs were getting a ton of complaints by killer mains because it was pretty broken how fast you could complete gens with four toolboxes, so they changed the functionality of the toolbox. Now its very fast but breaks just as fast. its good for sabotaging hooks to stop the killer from actually being able to hook somebody. this is a higher level thing since you don't want to just randomly break every hook you find. breaking a hook notifies a killer with a sound and the hook respawns in a minute or so. instead you want to 99 the hook and wait till the killer downs somebody. then, when the killer goes to hook that person on the hook that you have previously 99, you break it and now they have to walk to another one giving the person time to wiggle off. this works better with friends since you can't be everywhere but its still fun to do by yourself.

I am a Veteran that has been playing for quite a while now and my friend just started to play this as well I try to teach her but I think this video will help cause she doesn’t know how to loop and I’ve been wanting her to learn she just runs straight whenever she gets chased 😂

It may seem dumb, but the simple addition to the word "others" to the greeting on the video makes me feel happy and included.

Never thought I’d see Shmolty go from Seige and For Honor to DBD but hey I’m not complaining. Good to see some uploads again Sloth man

The blood moon has come once again my friends! Shmolty has emerged from his hibernation to produce a video, and shall go back into hiding for another 3 - 6 months! Merry Christmas!

A good tip is to not follow another survivor when you’re being chased, so many idiots bringing the killer to their team mates. Also do not unhook a survivor when the killer is within meters of them as you’ve just undoubtedly wasted their life.

This was one of the videos I watched when I first started DBD in April of 2021 and it helped a lot! I feel like a seasoned player now (even though I haven't played since late 2022/early 2023), but I'm always keeping up with the game through streamers. It looks like you haven't uploaded in a long time, but this video and your channel helped a lot of people--hope all is good, man! Thanks for making a good introductory vid to players like me back then!

Thanks for this, my game improved A LOT after watching this. Seriously, I implemented many of these tips right after watching this video and started surviving rounds. I appreciate all of the suggestions you made in this video.

2021 off to a good start 🥺 good to hear from you Shmolty

Happy to see you are getting back into things. Especially love that you are more comfortable just uploading whatever you're having the most fun playing. Stay frosty you beautiful sloth bastard you

5:02 the silence has me dead 😭

im so glad this channel is doing so well. but i do pull up your peacekeeper video once in a while to get me a serotonin boost.

Thank you. The hugging the corners tight made sense. I wondered how the killer wasnt catching up to you on that loop at 9:03

Happy holidays everyone! Glad to hear from ya shmolty

When you said "if you're good with the flashlight and let's be honest you and i are not" listen sir i have 1400 hours into this game...and you are absolutely right D:

glad youre making videos on what you like, have a good christmas, mate

I have been waiting for this. Love the work

Ty for including actual tips I just kept getting videos explaining how a match works

Good Tip From a Killer Main: STOP CROWDING AROUND HOOKS IF YOU ASSUME A KILLER IS CAMPING. Literally the worst thing you can do as the survivor team have all 4 survivors in the same place on the map at the same time. It is super beneficial for the killer because it’s easier to pressure all 4 survivors at once, and it gives the killer vital information of where every single survivor is on the map. You always want at least one or two survivors separated from the rest of the group to make it much harder to killers to know where everyone is, and make it harder to apply pressure against survivors. This doesn’t mean not to save your teammates, this just means it doesn’t take m three survivors to save one dude. Two survivors saving one person on hook is more than enough to coordinate a rescue effort from a camping killer.

I actually had no idea about that hatch too so thank you for letting me know about that!

Haven’t watched your vids in a while, but jeez do i like em

Shmolty: Gives detailed description of things. also Shmolty: "map is an item you can use"

I've been playing this game a ton recently, uploaded right on time

I have so many hours on dbd, I subbed to u from a rainbow video and now u are playing my favorite game! Great video!

You're right...Leatherface does deserve a teabagging :)

Loved this! Very new to dbd and this was super helpful. Appreciate it dude!

as a new player trying out leatherface 11:54 makes a lot more sense. Now i know why i always get rank 1 swfs with OoO and flashlights clicky clicky tbag etc. from the very beginning of the match

Oh man, thank you so much, I think this is the first time I've been acknowledged at the start of a dbd video. Some gamers are okay -an other

Dude , good to see you here

Powog After watching the video: definitely entertaining even though I knew most of it. The ending gif is satisfying to watch, nj SlothMan

I remember watching your peacekeeper guide and now you're here again to help me

Thank you for shouting out OTZ!

I've seen you playing DBD, I didn't know anything about it or whether I should get into it or not, but I think I will now as it looks really interesting. Thanks man.

Oh now I get the sloth thing. Good to have you back, happy holidays and stay safe.

Merry Christmas shmolty sloth man

Protip: the killer may make you regret sending them to Haddonfield

Thank you! This one was really helpful

Crazy how many people I've seen play for honor and then this game, me included.

Loved this Video 🥺❤ I am excited for the Killer guide

I follow you since early for honor days and its so good that you now play dbd

Everytime I see ya I'm like "wow he still makes videos!?" Good to see ya.

A good tip I would give is to keep an eye on who killers prioritize and try to exploit that. If you know the killer likes to chase injured people, make sure that you either heal less or more based on if you are better or worse at chases than your team. Are they hardcore tunneling that one guy that DSed them? Be on standby to save them before the game becomes a 3v1 but feel free to be bold and do gens when they can see you. If you are confident in your looping, it may be beneficial to t-bag and flashlight click to annoy the killer into targetting you instead of the Meg in your team that goes down in 5 seconds.

My fav youtuber posting one of my most fav games.

Thanks bro very helpful!!!

I've clocked a few thousand hours in dead by daylight and I can tell you this is pretty accurate, well done!

I would like to say that i dont play dead by daylight at all (i mostly just love the lore). I only clicked on this video because i saw a sloth in a suit. A very tall sloth....in a very nice suit.

Me a rank one with nearly every survivor teachable : interesting

Thank you!!! First game I played I didn't even know how to run because it wasn't covered in tutorial 😪 didn't go well. I feel a bit overwhelmed

My guys returned

Great video, thank you!!!!

This is an actual good guide I might subscribe

Great tips bro 😎

Thanks for tips and tricks!

Wow!! I remember watching a similar video of shmolty on for honor when I was just trying to get into that game as in multiplayer gaming in general, very green... And now I see a fresh video made by him on a game I have played for years now. I probably know all you have to say, Shmolt, but I am gonna watch and enjoy it a lot anyway! :D

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHMOLTY IS BACKKK

Its ya boy, Fetus Punter. Keep it up my man

this is actually one of the best beginner videos that ive seen lol

this was hilarious as well as informative!

YAYYYY YOURE BACK

Omg I forgot that you even existed but I'm glad to have you back!

Came here for the tips, instead got tips and an absolute laugh. Laughing during the whole video 😂😂. Deffo worth a subscribe.

Holy shit you’re alive???? For honor to dbd. Love to see it

Thx for this vid shmolty

0:50 won me over instantly. I’m happily a subscriber now

Shmolty doing DBD now? How did I miss this arc! See ya in six months for the killer one ♥

Nice to see a Bill main!

Never throw a pallet down straight away try to run around a pallet until the killer starts to catch up, always fast vault windows and always look back to see which way the killer goes to confuse them

HE IS BACK!!!!! Thank god

ik this was 3-4 years ago but u just helped someone in 2024 !!!

I pulled off the flashy spinny in a moment of desperation with nothing left, it works if you can read the killer

Id say to not be afraid to use general survivor perks. Spine chill is cool and let me know that I need to look around when performing actions, but I dropped it for something more useful once I figured out how to check key directions at various moments. Also, don't be a hero. Heros usually get really messed up before the end of the movie and no one has plot armor if the killer is using NOED.

1.Learn perks and how they work so you can identify what perks the killer is using 2. Know what places are safe (example: pallets, windows, strong loops) and try to go towards that area if killer is near. Also try to avoid unsafe areas when near the killer 3. If you are the first one to be chased in the beginning of the match, make sure to distract the killer as long as possible with loops and allow your teammates to do gens.

Good tip: Always do something. If you aren’t being chased, get on the gen. Don’t be that guy sitting crouched in the corner all game

Shmolty is now on DBD too? I must say i'm impressed.

Good shit Shmolty

i recently downloaded it and have been balancing it with fn after realizing i played fn too much thx for the tips

I'm a simple man. I see someone get into Dead by Daylight. I like.

Me who was good but stopped for a while needs this

5:34 there new chest looting perk that increases rarity finds Also im wraith main so finding the direction, when i have add on with the bell that makes the sound come from every direction makes life a dream

You can use dead hard to get the flashlight angle on a killer. I'm not saying do this all the time, strictly situational.

Love the otz respect
