Read GuideDead by Daylight is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game developed by Behaviour Interactive. Released in 2016, it has grown into one of the most popular horror games in the world, featuring iconic characters from famous horror franchises alongside original creations.
In each match, four Survivors face off against one Killer. The Survivors must repair five generators to power the exit gates and escape, while the Killer hunts them down and attempts to sacrifice them to the Entity.
What makes Dead by Daylight unique is its perk system. Each character has three unique "teachable" perks that can be unlocked for all characters of the same role. With over 82 characters and hundreds of perks to choose from, the possibilities for builds are nearly endless.
Perks are passive abilities that modify your gameplay. Each character can equip up to four perks at a time, and choosing the right combination is crucial for success.
Focus on stealth, healing, generator speed, and survival. Popular categories include exhaustion perks for chases, information perks for tracking the killer, and altruistic perks for helping teammates.
Help with tracking survivors, slowing down generator progress, and ending chases quickly. Categories include slowdown perks, tracking perks, chase perks, and endgame perks.
