As you all know, the 2026 Design A Cosmetic Contest Community Voting Phase closed yesterday as planned. However, we have come to a decision on next steps that we’d like to share with the greater community.
First and foremost, we want to thank you all for your understanding and your patience in regard to our investigations due to the allegations brought forward about some of the voting stage finalists. At the end of the day, we want to ensure that this contest is a method of celebrating our community and the characters you all have helped to bring to life within The Fog.
In the past week we have been in discussion with each participant in question and have collected numerous additional supporting materials from each of them for their submissions. The materials provided gave further insight into each artist’s process, references and intention behind their creations and we thank them for their understanding and cooperation.
While some of the public posts and allegations provide compelling arguments for the potential usage of AI, none of them conclusively prove it, especially in comparison to the volume of supporting evidence of each artist’s work. As such we will not be eliminating any of the finalists from the voting phase.
With that said, we believe it is fair to the wider community that we re-start the voting phase, specifically for the Survivor category where the allegations were centered. This will allow those uncomfortable with their initial votes to make a new choice and let their voice be heard. Before embarking on this endeavor, we informed each of the Survivor Finalists by email, and as a result we did have one submission decide against continuing within this second round – which leaves a spot vacant. Please know that it is out of fairness towards the other finalists that we have decided against filling this spot with a new entry.
We also wanted to address the criticisms around the “Fun Kite Renato” entry. We recognize the aspects of the design that were not in line with his culture, language and skin tone, and assure you that if that entry were to win, we would work with our cultural consultants as always to make the necessary adjustments to fit Renato’s character properly. Already the artist has reached out to us to correct the skin tone and language issues, which we believe is a great start.
We understand this will not be the step some in the community would like us to take against these entries. The introduction of AI into our lives has added a new aspect we are learning to handle when holding things like this, and we are learning how to navigate it alongside the rest of the world. We state once again that while we appreciate the community’s passion towards this contest, we must firmly make all within this community aware that harassment and bullying has no place here. We have found the actions taken during this contest incredibly disappointing and we ask that our community do better, as we strive ourselves to do as much as we can.
For next steps, we plan to do the following for the Survivor Category re-vote:
1) We will relaunch the Public Community Voting Phase (for the Survivor Category only) today, September 18th, 2026 at 2 PM ET.
2) As before, you will be able to cast your 4 allotted votes for these entries until September 24th, 2026,1:59 AM ET. Winners will be announced on our socials on September 25, 2026.
Thank you for your time, understanding, and patience.
We’ll see you in the Fog.

@tarkov@domontovich@nikgeneburn Any chance we can get a Daily Limit timer for battlepass documents? So we can see when they reset for us since it's individual and based on when you first extracted with a doc?

again, which is very lame of BHVR- many ppl are not on socials so it would have been a really nice addition for representation in game.
@Chey_ttv God it's so jarring and happens so often I feel too! It's been in the game for god knows how long 😭 I've reported it before but here is to hoping it'll get fixed soon!
Anyone fancying a break from opinion pieces on a certain game, I'm streaming some art at 2:30pm, feel free to take a breather whilst we continue to fundraise for Stroke association in a calm, relaxing way this Sunday afternoon ✨
Pals in the UK, make sure you go out and vote tomorrow.. unless it is for Reform, you can stay home and stare at yourself in the mirror or whatever it is that you people enjoy doing. 🫡
Hey guys, here's my updated reel for 2026. As many of you know, I got laid off from behaviour interactive and am looking for a full-time position!
I really want to thank @ikhandle for helping me edit this reel up. Again, I really appreciate all the support you guys are throwing at me. It's very overwhelming for me 😭 I know other people won't get the same treatment as me, so I really appreciate all this. ♥️
dbd is not fun when the only maps you get are rpd nostromo toba hawkins forgotten ruins trickster's delusion on a loop
meta really doesnt matter when both sides could be playing "for fun" and still not have any because it just isn't possible on half the maps in this game
Giving away The DBD Board Game from @Level99Games!
Here's a video I made explaining a bit about it!!
