The Nightmare - The Nightmare, or more commonly known as Freddy Krueger, ranks at the top of the list for a number of reasons, almost hilariously so considering how low he sat on the tier lists for so such a long time. For many survivors, Freddy has earned the "Nightmare" name due to the difficulty of playing against him. While survivors are awake, they will be unable to see Freddy if he is further than 32 meters away. From 16 to 32 meters away, they will intermittently see him, and if he is 16 meters or closer then survivors will see him and hear his terror rad
This usually is just for the killers and can work against them. When two or more survivors are near or in front of the killer and they're trying to free a teammate, the killer should be easily able to pick them off. However, the auto-aiming makes it so the player closest to the killer gets hit fi
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
The game has received a bounty of added content, from new killers to new arenas, Dead by Daylight is overflowing with content. However, even among the games base roster, there are truly masterful killers to choose from. One of which is the deadly and versatile Hillbilly, considered by most players to be the most powerful Killer in the game. With a range of abilities, skills, and a truly intimidating character design, Hillbilly is the epitome of what it means to be a Killer. However, even with his versatile arsenal of weapons, skills and learnable abilities, Hillbilly can be rather tricky to pick up and excel with. However, with some guidance, even a novice Hillbilly player can become an efficient and deadly Killer, one which will be feared by all Survivors in his p
The general complaint about map sizes is that it's either too big or too small. If it's too big the survivors can quickly work on the objectives, turn on generators and unhook survivors who have been caught. This is unfair to the killer who would spend the majority of the match wandering around looking for the surviv
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
Legion - Last on the list is Legion, one of the more recent killers added to the Horror Survival 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
A new killer means three new perks which can be taught to all other killers, and can be more impactful to the meta of the game than the killer alone. The first is Gearhead, an information perk that has been nerfed since its first reveal in the beta. Put simply, as players must first hit two basic attacks to activate, its duration has been reduced considerably from 45 to 30 seconds at maximum rank, and now only applies to good skill checks instead of all, there is little benefit to using Gearhead relative to the other information perks mentioned ab
Without a doubt, the "Chains of Hate" DLC brings a welcome addition to Dead by Daylight with the introduction of the Deathslinger. This is not to say that the killer will be a top-tier choice for wiping out entire teams of survivors with ease, but rather that the design is unique, interesting, and most importantly, accessible for most play
The latest addition to Dead by Daylights roster of bloodthirsty villains is the intimidating Deathslinger. A mix of murder-hungry cowboy and Scorpion from Mortal Kombat, the Deathslinger makes use of a powerful harpoon rifle to snatch up unsuspecting survivors and reel them in to meet their death. The character combines an interesting design and unique gameplay style to create one of the coolest killers in the title's roster. This guide will provide some essential tips to excel with the character and take out survivors in no t
With that in mind, the Deathslinger needs to apply pressure to generators and survivors, using their ability carefully as reloading wastes time. While it may sound obvious to say pressure is necessary, killers like Freddy Krueger, The Hag, Hillbilly, and Demogorgon all have ways to quickly traverse the map, while the Deathslinger has only his default movement speed. The good news is that his ability, if used properly, is excellent for anti-looping, saving time in a fruitless ch
