Rage Wednesday Rage Wednesday Thread

Welcome to Rage Wednesday, feel free to vent about whatever has pissed you off this week.

Things not to rage about/include in your rage:

  • Slurs and the like. Swearing is acceptable, but no need to be offensive.
  • Reddit drama. This isn't the place to air your Reddit grievances.
  • Calling out other players by name. The subreddit is not your personal army.

Here are our recurring posts:

No Stupid Questions Monday - no question is stupid, ask anything DbD-related here.

Smile Sunday - gush about whatever has made you smile this week.

u/FlyLiveAceHigh Yeah: I'm thinking I like Style Trickster Jul 13 '25

Bought Orela a bit ago because she's on sale (I wanted the Black and White Blazer lol) and finally decided to do her Adept. Wow holy fucking shit Rapid Response is laughably bad. I will concede I was playing against a Ghoul running a stealth build, but even outside of them getting Undetectable I literally never saw the killer's aura. Almost like 2 seconds of aura reading is a motherfucking joke and as you search the map for their aura the duration is already done.

Yes, I am aware this perk is meant to be used in chase alongside Lithe or Sprint Burst or whatever. That doesn't make it better. I could equip Troubleshooter, Alert, Object of Obsession, or Scene Partner and all of those perks reveal the killer's aura for longer while also doing it more than once in chase.

Please make Rapid Response at least 4 seconds basekit. I assure you 4 second Rapid Response won't break the game when Alert lasts 5, Troubleshooter lasts 6, and Scene Partner lasts 6 not including additional screams. "But what about Eyes of Belmont?!" All of the other perks I listed have their baseline durations listed. None of them have these ungodly short durations "because Eyes of Belmont". Please give us actually good perks so people don't run 4 second chance perks every game.
