Behavior Interactive's Dead by Daylight has gained quite a popular following due to its unique and interesting asymmetrical gameplay. Since the killer role has to take on four survivors, it's pivotal to play a killer that can make the most of its situation against the survivor t

If you purchase Dead by Daylight today then you will certainly have plenty of characters to play as. You also won't have access to many of the killers and survivors that have come out since the game launched in 2016. Extra content is obtainable via in-game currency, but it is extremely diffic

When a survivor cleanses in a pool, the Plague can use that pool to get Corrupt Purge which will damage survivors when the Plague throws up on them. The Plague is certainly interesting to play as but if players are just putting up with the corruption instead of cleansing it then the Plague is severely limited in terms of options. However, a recent buff makes it so she can always get at least one pool of Corrupt Purge in a match so at least she isn't completely powerless when no survivor's clea

To run, a person needs to learn how to walk, the same philosophy is applicable in the Dead by Daylight online community. The first step in achieving killer mastery a new player should complete the tutorial of the g

His power, The Redeemer, is a rifle that fires a chain that tethers a survivor and drags them to The Deathslinger. The survivor can struggle and break the chain or use the environment to help break the connection. The power itself is pretty helpful when struggling against looping survivors, but high-skill players will find ways to easily break the connect

Legion - Last on the list is Legion, one of the more recent killers added to the Nintendo Horror game. The constant reworks and nerfs to Legion have made them virtually unusable and more tedious to play than fun. The concept of a killer being able to vault and slide across pallets like a survivor is interesting, but since Legion specializes in the delayed downing of survivors it's more annoying to play them than its worth. Behavior has made this promising killer into a joke among the Dead by Daylight commun

Dead Man's Switch is the second new perk, and there is certainly potential for usefulness here with certain killers. Since the perk only activates when hooking the Obsession, it all but requires pairing with the Nemesis perk to constantly have a stream of viable targets. Otherwise, the most value one could get from this perk is three activations, and that would require either a bit of luck playing optimally, or tunneling and camping a single survi

Given his ability to cover large distances, Demogorgon's ability to catch up to survivors is surprisingly lacking. Although his lunging attack is a powerful move, it is rather finicky at times. It requires a certain degree of accuracy to connect against evasive survivors and has smaller range than a killer would hope for. Plus his recovery animation after whiffing the lung is glacial at times and can easily grant a survivor the time required to esc

This review will focus primarily on the Deathslinger and his perks, because while new survivors are a welcome addition, they are all identical in gameplay thanks to teachable perks. In creating the newest killer, developer Behavior Interactive went about as far in the opposite direction from their creation, Kazan Yamaoka, generally referred to as the Oni. Instead of a rampaging hulk that can one-shot an entire team in a blaze of pain and speed, the Deathslinger is a slower, methodical killer that uses his modified rifle to take aim, fire, and impale a survivor on a chain before pulling them in and striking with a bayo

Cannibal - The Cannibal, or Bubba from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre , is the poor man's Billy. The Cannibal wields a chainsaw which he can swing around wildly and it will instantly down any survivor who is hit by it. However, if Bubba hits an object he will throw a tantrum and be locked in place for a few seconds while he wildly swings his chainsaw. The tantrum is near-impossible to control but if a survivor happens to be in range when it happens they will be downed just as if he were hitting them with it with the sw

Compared to the last killer release, the Oni, there is a much larger skill-ceiling needed to properly maneuver the rampaging killer and navigate obstacles on a map to use Demon Dash and Strike effectively. The simplicity of the Deathslinger’s design allows players of all ranks to be effective killers. Combined with a beautiful new map in the Dead Dawg Saloon and a new survivor, whose perks will be covered elsewhere, Chains of Hate is a must-have DLC for all play

A solid strategy when using the Demogorgon is to place a portal at every generator or major location across a map. This allows the killer to have access to any location that a survivor may deem as advantageous. On top of this accessibility, the Demogorgon can activate each of these portals to essentially have a full surveillance camera to watch over these key areas. This allows the killer to lock down any offensive attempts made by the survivors and to excel at dominating the online ar
