DBD Favorites & Bookmarks: Save Perks, Killers and Add-ons

Dead by Daylight rewards accumulation, but accumulation creates a search problem. The game now contains 283 perks, 35+ killers, 35+ survivors, hundreds of add-ons and dozens of items and offerings. You find a perk that fits your chase style, you close the tab, you queue, and next session you cannot remember its exact name or where you saw it. You retype a partial query, you scroll, and you lose momentum before the match even loads.

The new Favorites and Bookmarks system solves that recall gap at the interaction level. Every perk, killer, survivor and add-on page now shows a heart icon. Click it once to save, click it again to remove. Your selections persist locally so they survive reloads and return visits, and the navbar displays a live count so you always know how many items you have saved without opening the page. You no longer rely on browser bookmarks or memory to track the 12 perks that define your playstyle.

The favorites page at /dead-by-daylight/tools/favorites collects everything in one view. Filter by type, jump back to the detail page, or load a saved perk set into Build Creator when you want to turn a saved idea into a queued build. You curate once and reuse indefinitely.

Why This Matters

Build identity emerges from repetition. You discover that 4 perks work together, you run them for 20 trials, you refine one slot, and you gradually converge on a loadout you can explain and execute. That convergence fails when you keep losing track of which perks you tested. You remember the general category but not the exact name, and you re-evaluate the same 40 candidates instead of refining the 8 that already matter to you.

Favorites preserve your shortlist without imposing structure too early. You do not need to name a build or commit to a tier list position. You simply heart the 10 perks that feel promising, the 5 killers you want to learn, and the 12 add-ons that support your current pressure style. Over a week that set becomes a personal index that reflects your taste, not the meta at large. You filter the database by your own curiosity rather than by a global ranking.

The navbar count reinforces the habit. A visible count turns saving from a hidden action into a persistent signal. You see that you have saved 18 items, you open favorites between queues, you remove two that did not perform, and you add one you just saw in a survivor guide. That lightweight curation loop keeps your toolkit aligned with your actual play rather than drifting back to the default of browsing everything.

What You Can Do With Favorites and Bookmarks

Every save action flows through the same simple mechanism and lands in a single hub:

• Heart any of 283 perks to build a personal shortlist of chase, stealth, healing or objective perks.
• Save any killer across 35+ options and track which power you plan to learn next without re-browsing the roster.
• Bookmark survivors and their perks so your team role and teachable unlock plan stay visible.
• Save any add-on or item and keep type-locked combinations that match the killers or items you actually run.
• Review all favorites with live count in the navbar and filter your saved set at /dead-by-daylight/tools/favorites in one place.
• Load saved perks into Build Creator to assemble builds directly from your curated collection.

Persistence is local and immediate. You heart an item, you see the navbar count increment by one, you close the tab, you return tomorrow and the same set is there. No account creation interrupts the flow. You build the habit first and the data follows without friction.

How to Use It

Treat favorites as a pre-build staging area rather than a final archive. This sequence keeps it useful:

1. Browse Perks Database or Killer Pages and heart 8 to 12 items that match your current goal.
2. Open Favorites to see your saved set with the navbar count as confirmation of scope.
3. Remove 2 to 3 items that overlap in function so your shortlist forces a trade-off rather than collecting duplicates.
4. Select 4 perks from the filtered favorites and load them into Build Creator via the link on each card.
5. After 3 to 5 trials, return to favorites and prune or expand based on what actually altered your chase, heal or gen pressure.

For add-ons, heart only those that pair with a killer you already saved. That constraint keeps the add-on collection tied to a real play plan instead of becoming a second unbounded list.

Where to Go Next

Favorites become more powerful when you connect them to action tools:

• Build Creator to turn saved perks into shareable builds with URLs you can queue directly.
• Compare Tool to place 2 to 4 favorites side-by-side and decide which one keeps its slot.
• Tier Lists to check where your saved picks sit in the current meta before you overcommit.
• Perks Database for the full 283-entry catalog when you want to expand the shortlist.
• Dead by Daylight Toolkit Home for the complete hub that now respects your saved state.

Final Notes

We designed favorites to be invisible when you do not need them and immediate when you do. A heart click, a persistent store, a navbar count. No modal, no account wall, no export step. You save what you care about and the site remembers without asking you to maintain a separate system.

Over a season that small persistence changes how you learn. You stop re-discovering the same 5 perks and you start testing the edge of your saved set. You rotate one killer at a time from your 6 saved options, you carry forward the 3 add-ons that actually improved your power, and your builds reflect deliberate iteration rather than repeated browsing.

Open Favorites after your next session, heart the perks that earned their slot, and watch the navbar count become your personal progress marker for the week.
