What makes this Chainsaw charge so devastating, is that it grants the Hillbilly an instant kill attack out of the sprint. Essentially morphing the Hillbilly into a hyper-mobile killing machine. However, landing this one hit kill attack is not guaranteed, the strike is rather finicky and can whiff if thrown with reckless abando

Description - After unhooking Laurie (or someone else unhooks her) this perk will become active for 40-60 seconds. When this happens, she can escape the killers' grasp after using a "Skill Check" and the killer will be stunned for about 5 seco

The primary downside to this ability is that, if the Hillbilly runs into an environmental hazard, then the character will be left in a stunned state for a few seconds. So the move does grant the Killer an incredible boost of speed, it is not as brainless of an attack as it sounds. A smart Hillbilly player will learn the intricacies of the charge and learn to navigate the rapid Killer with clinical precis

Given the abilities' instant kill property, a smart Hillbilly player will use the Chainsaw charge as a quick burst to take out a Survivor, rather than using its full charge. Given the drawback of running into an object, a smart Hillbilly will quickly strike with the instant kill attack to kill a Survivor. This requires some advanced understanding of positional advantage in Dead by Daylight as it will require players to understand a good angle to cut off an unsuspecting Survivor, but when mastered makes Hillbilly an imposing fo

Shape - Michael Myers was Dead by Daylight 's first licensed killer and Behavior Interactive did the iconic horror character justice. While not insanely powerful like Freddy, Myers has a unique ability called Evil Within which levels up when Myers stalks his prey. Tier 1 Evil Within has an incredibly small terror radius making it easy to sneak up on survivors (typically a big part of playing the build called 'jump scare Myers' in the communi

_Dead by Daylight _ comes with a robust selection of diverse characters that each have their own attributes. With that said, there are also perks that come along with them that can be unlocked and this guide will help players find out which are the b

Playing Hillbilly is not a rather difficult task. His relative ease of use is why he is considered to be one of the strongest Killers in the game. With an arsenal of seemingly simple tools that can be extraordinarily deadly in the right hands. A good Hillbilly will mold this seemingly simple arsenal and optimize it until the character is a killing machine. So being creative with the "vanilla" killer will turn even a novice player into a high caliber killer in Dead by Dayli

The Oni is one of the more hyper-aggressive characters within Dead by Daylight . His powerful blood oriented mechanic revolves around an in-your-face style of play. So to truly optimize the potential of the Oni it is important that players get used to this hyper-aggressive playstyle. Otherwise, the Oni is a rather underwhelming character to cho

Description - At the brink of escaping from a gate, Meg's running speed will be increased by 150%. It activates after being freed up after being disabled. It ignores exhaustion and will jolt Meg awake when asl

Every killer in Dead by Daylight has their unfortunate downsides. Each killer has a very real and difficult to overcome assortment of weaknesses attached to their kit. The Oni is no different, so understanding his weaknesses can allow players to adapt and mitigate the number of mistakes made during the course of a ma

A very important aspect to Legion's Feral Frenzy is that when the Killer inflicts the Deep Wound status effect he gains two significant buffs. The first being that he maintains his Feral Frenzy buff, and can chain multiple Deep Wound attacks together to maintain his powerful buff. This makes Legion a hypermobile and incredibly quick killer able to essentially dominate a map's space with little to no difficulty. But arguably the most important aspect to Feral Frenzy is an ability related to the skill, and that is Legion's Killer Insti

Some of the perks available for Dead by Daylight can be fairly self-explanatory. However, there are a few that don't quite have the required abilities to increase the chances of surviving the Entity's minions. All the perks come with three Tiers and naturally the higher the Tier, the more effective they are. There are a total of 68 perks for the survivors and starting at levels; 5, 10, and 15 will unlock their new designated slots. Of course, it's important to note that the active unlocking of perks is a random occurrence at every Bloodweb session. So, it's recommended to keep grinding to stack up on all the desired perks and keep gaining XP. This list will outline which perks are the most useful and how to which level they will be availa

There are currently 19 Killers in Dead by Daylight , the four-year-old asymmetrical horror game developed by Behaviour Interactive. A number are based on genre tropes popularized by media in the 70s and 80s; evil clowns, crazed doctors, plague-bringing ancient zealots, etc. The rest are "visitors," licensed representatives from those movies that influenced dead by daylight perks by Daylight , for instance Michael Myers from Halloween . Modern-day horrors have also been included, from Saw 's Amanda Young to the Demogorgon from Netflix's Stranger Thin
