DBD dev relaunches Design a Cosmetic contest—and submissions are already pouring in

The contest runs until Aug. 19.

Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive has relaunched its Design a Cosmetic contest. Players can pitch their ideas for cosmetics to potentially feature in the game. It’s not even been a day since the announcement, and we’ve already got some awesome submissions to revel in.

The developer announced the contest’s return on X (formerly Twitter) on July 29 and said that the winner of each category will have their submission turned into actual cosmetic items for players to wear in-game. The four categories are a Survivor Outfit, a Killer Outfit, a Badge, and a Banner. Naturally, submissions have started pouring in, with players sharing their pitches on social media platforms like Reddit. One example currently gaining traction is a reactive skin for The Singularity, which sees his monitor displaying varying emotions based on the situation.

Another popular submission for the Killer Outfit category is The Unknown dressed as a cinema worker and carrying a belt-barrier as a weapon. It’s promptly called “Tickets Please” and looks pretty cool, giving the Killer a much-needed personality.

As for Survivors, players on Reddit have been reacting positively to multiple skins, namely this one outfit for Sable Ward called “Black Heart” that gives her a black-and-white facial mask and goth clothing. Her hair, too, is painted black and white in the same pattern as her face. Sable Ward already has that gothic vibe with her default look, and this just elevates it to a whole new level.

The Design a Cosmetic contest has just begun, and there will likely be hundreds, if not thousands, of submissions before it ends. The contest runs until Aug. 19, with a community vote to determine the finalists starting on Sept. 19. This vote will run for seven days, with the winners then announced on Oct. 3.
