These are the active DBD codes for September 2026, checked against multiple independent sources on September 4, 2026 and written for the live Dead by Daylight 10.1.1 update. The list separates limited rewards from long-running Pride and community cosmetics, shows the exact reward attached to each code, and records expired codes only when a reliable end date is available. We also explain how to redeem a code and what each error message actually means.
Quick answer (TLDR): As of September 4, 2026, we verified 7 active general DBD codes. The newest is MISSBEHAVIOURGC2026 for five pixel-style banners, and the urgent one is SHINEBRIGHT for the Proud Rainbow Crow banner because it expires September 10, 2026. There are 0 safely verified active Bloodpoint codes right now: the 10-million-BP anniversary code expired July 16. Enter valid codes through Store, Featured, Redeem.
What DBD codes are active in September 2026?
The table below is the conservative list. It intentionally excludes strings where current sources disagree about active status. We used the September 2 update from GamesRadar as the freshest clean split between active and expired, then independently checked the established rewards against PCGamesN, Playhub, and current search records. MISSBEHAVIOURGC2026 is supported by GamesRadar and a separate September update from Beebom.
| DBD code | Reward | Status checked September 4, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| MISSBEHAVIOURGC2026 | It Has My Face, Pixel Dwight, Pixel Mina, Pixel Sable, and Pixel Trickster banners | Active; newest verified code |
| SHINEBRIGHT | Proud Rainbow Crow banner | Active; expires September 10, 2026 |
| FINDERSCREEPERS | Elodie in the Catacombs banner and Elodie's Skull badge | Active |
| IFLOOKSCOULDCHILL | Frosty Eyes cosmetics for Killers | Active |
| REDDIT1MIL | 8-bit Crow profile badge | Active |
| LETSROLL | Hand-Painted Dwight charm | Active |
| WARRIORPUPPERS | Warrior Puppers charm | Active |
Redeem SHINEBRIGHT first because it is the only item in this table with a near-term published expiry. Enter MISSBEHAVIOURGC2026 next because it is the newest reward and grants five banners in one redemption. The five established community codes have no current published end date, but that does not guarantee permanence.
Several high-value strings circulating on supposedly current pages are deliberately missing. DBD10BIRTHDAY, INTOTHERAINBOW2026, ENTITYLOVEFORALL, RAINBOWTOOLS, RAINBOWBRIGHT, GRASPINGTHEDARKNESS, LIFEOFTHEPARTY, KARMA, WORLDPRIDE2026, and MAURICEPRIDE now appear in the expired section of the freshest source, even though stale pages still label some active. Publishing those as working would pad the table with known conflicts. This guide chooses the smaller list.
Which long-running DBD cosmetic codes still work?
Dead by Daylight also has a large group of long-running community and Pride rewards. These are not Bloodpoint farming codes. Most grant a flag charm, profile badge, banner, or character charm. Current September lists independently agree on the following codes and rewards.
| Code | Reward |
|---|---|
| PRIDE | Rainbow Flag charm |
| PRIDE2022 | Progress Pride Flag charm |
| BDGPRIDE | Rainbow Flag profile badge |
| BDGPRG | Progress Pride profile badge |
| FLAGB | Bisexual Flag charm |
| FLAGL | Lesbian Flag charm |
| FLAGP | Pansexual Flag charm |
| FLAGT | Trans Flag charm |
| MFLAG | MLM Flag charm |
| AFLAGG | Agender Flag charm |
| AFLAGS | Asexual Flag charm |
| AROMFLAG | Aromantic Flag charm |
| DEMISFLAG | Demisexual Flag charm |
| ISFLAG | Intersex Flag charm |
| POLYFLAG | Polyamory Flag charm |
| KINDRD | Glance of Pride charm |
| CAWCAW | Feathers of Pride charm |
| LETSROLL | Hand-Painted Dwight charm |
| WARRIORPUPPERS | Warrior Puppers charm |
These codes are useful if you are returning to DBD after a long break because they can unlock cosmetics that newer accounts do not already own. If the game says you already own the associated item, the code has done its job on that account; repeatedly entering it will not produce another copy.
How do you redeem DBD codes in update 10.1.1?
The redemption flow is inside the game, not on a third-party website. BHVR's own reward instructions say: “On the top right, select REDEEM CODE and input the code that was given.” That wording comes from the official Dead by Daylight Hooked on You rewards page.
Follow these steps:
- Launch Dead by Daylight and wait for the main menu to load.
- Open Store.
- Stay on or navigate to the Featured tab.
- Select Redeem or Redeem Code.
- Enter the code exactly as listed and confirm it.
- Check the relevant balance or customization menu for the reward.
Bloodpoints and Iridescent Shards should change the matching currency balance. Charms, badges, banners, and cosmetics appear in their relevant customization area instead. A banner reward will not show up as currency, and a profile badge will not appear in a character's Bloodweb.
The Store layout can vary slightly by platform and interface update, but the official path remains Store, Featured, Redeem. Do not enter a DBD code into a random “generator” or a page asking for your platform password. Legitimate codes are redeemed in the game.
Are any DBD Bloodpoint codes active right now?
No safely verified Bloodpoint code is active in our September 4 check. The current seven-code general list is cosmetic: banners, a profile badge, charms, and Frosty Eyes cosmetics. The largest recent BP promotion, DBD10BIRTHDAY, granted 10,000,000 Bloodpoints but expired on July 16, 2026. INTOTHERAINBOW2026 previously granted 100,000 BP, but the freshest September source now lists it as expired.
That zero is intentional. Some pages updated their month label without reconciling the active table with known expiry dates, which is why the 10-million-BP birthday code still appears in places two months after its documented deadline. If DBD10BIRTHDAY works for you despite that date, treat it as an unexpected grace period, not an active September code.
Bloodpoints and Iridescent Shards are not interchangeable. The expired ENTITYLOVEFORALL promotion granted 300 Iridescent Shards, not BP. Similarly, a charm or banner cannot be converted into currency. Keeping reward types separate prevents the common mistake of expecting a balance increase after redeeming a cosmetic.
A current player discussion that helped shape this guide came from a returning player confused by the modern Bloodweb. The useful takeaway was a real FAQ: when the next BP code appears, the reward still has to be spent through the Bloodweb. Some nodes can become blocked as the Entity consumes paths, and the center auto-purchase option prioritizes speed rather than careful item selection. That is why this page records the reward type instead of treating every string as a “Bloodpoint code.”
Why is a Dead by Daylight code not working?
Most failures fall into one of five buckets. Read the message under the redemption box before trying random variations.
The code has expired
Limited event and promotional codes can be disabled at the end of their campaign. If the game explicitly says the code expired, there is no legitimate workaround. Do not add punctuation, swap letters, or trust a site offering an “updated” version unless it cites a real source.
The code has already been claimed
Most DBD codes are one redemption per account. This message means your account already received the reward. It does not mean the code is broken.
You already own the item
Long-running charm, badge, and banner codes often trigger this message on older accounts. The item should already be available in the relevant customization menu.
The code is invalid
Check spelling and visually similar characters first. Copy the string from the table rather than retyping it. If multiple reputable trackers disagree about the string or its reward, wait for confirmation instead of pattern-completing it.
A server error interrupted redemption
A temporary backend or connection problem can prevent a valid code from completing. Return to the main menu, confirm your connection, and try once more later. If BHVR has kill-switched a feature or is deploying a patch, waiting is safer than repeatedly submitting the code.
Which DBD codes recently expired, and when?
This expired table includes only codes with a date that can be tied to a first-party announcement. We do not assign fake death dates to old codes merely because an aggregator moved them into an expired section.
| Expired code | Former reward | Expired on | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| DBD10BIRTHDAY | 10 million Bloodpoints | July 16, 2026 | Multiple independent launch reports published the same July 16 deadline |
| HAPPYHORSEYEAR2026 | 168,888 Bloodpoints and Lunar Horse charm | March 3, 2026 | Official Dead by Daylight social announcement said to use it before March 3 |
| 1MILLIONCROWS | Instacrow charm; associated 1.5x Bloodpoints event bonus | November 4, 2025 | Official DBD announcement tied the bonus to the end of Haunted by Daylight on November 4 |
Many older strings are certainly dead, but their exact shutoff date was never clearly published. They stay out of this dated table until the date can be documented honestly. That is better than inventing precision.
How do we verify active Dead by Daylight codes?
This page uses a strict source rule:
- A code is accepted immediately when it appears in a first-party Dead by Daylight channel, in-game news post, BHVR stream, or official reward page.
- Without a first-party source, the exact code and reward must agree across at least two genuinely independent current publications.
- If two sources swap rewards, disagree on status, or appear to repeat the same mistake, the code is excluded.
- A code moves to the expired table only with a documented expiry date or a dated failed verification.
- Every refresh states its check date and live game version.
This matters because code pages are unusually prone to copy errors. One incorrect character can turn a real promotion into a fake code, while one stale “active” label wastes every reader's time. An honest list of 12 verified current codes is more useful than a padded list of 60 strings copied from last year.
The live-version check is equally important. This guide applies to Dead by Daylight 10.1.1, published on September 1, 2026, after 10.1.0 Chorus of Sin launched on August 25. The official 10.1.1 patch notes are the version source. Codes are server-controlled and do not necessarily change with every bugfix, but recording the version gives the next refresh a precise baseline.

FAQ
What are the active DBD codes in September 2026? The seven general codes verified on September 4 are MISSBEHAVIOURGC2026, SHINEBRIGHT, FINDERSCREEPERS, IFLOOKSCOULDCHILL, REDDIT1MIL, LETSROLL, and WARRIORPUPPERS. The long-running Pride cosmetic codes in the second table are also listed as working by multiple current sources.
What is the newest DBD code? MISSBEHAVIOURGC2026 is the newest verified code and unlocks five pixel-style banners. SHINEBRIGHT is the most urgent code because its Proud Rainbow Crow banner is scheduled to expire on September 10, 2026.
Are there any active DBD codes for Bloodpoints? No safely verified BP code remained active in our September 4 check. DBD10BIRTHDAY formerly granted 10 million Bloodpoints but had a documented July 16, 2026 expiry. Pages still listing it as active are carrying stale or conflicting data.
Where do I enter Dead by Daylight codes? Open Dead by Daylight, select Store, navigate to Featured, and choose Redeem or Redeem Code. Enter the string exactly and confirm. This route is documented by BHVR on its official reward instructions.
Why does DBD say I already own the associated item? The account already has the charm, badge, banner, or cosmetic attached to that code. Long-running Pride and community codes commonly produce this message on older accounts. Check the relevant customization menu instead of entering the code again.
Are WORLDPRIDE2026 and MAURICEPRIDE active? No. The freshest September tracker now places both in its expired section. Older current-month pages still list them and have disagreed about their rewards, so neither passes this page's integrity gate.
When was this DBD codes page last checked? Every code and status on this page was checked on September 4, 2026 against the live 10.1.1 update. Time-limited codes can still expire after that check, so redeem the urgent codes first.
