Bubba's only saving grace is his teachable perk Barbecue & Chili which is great for tracking down survivors (and the bonus bloodpoints doesn't hurt either). Franklin's Demise is also somewhat useful since it forces survivors to drop whatever item they are carry

The Archives are broken up into three distinct categories; Rift, Tome, and Shrine. They each offer something unique to help players understand the survivors' backstories, perks, and even unlock some cosmetics. There's a branching algorithm of various challenges that players must complete in order to achieve higher status and unlock character origin-story elements. Some challenges can be rolled-over across different trails and give players multiple chances to complete. However, there are higher Tier challenges that only give players one chance to accomplish. The following is a list of the different layers of the Archive and how it functi

Once a portal is activated the Demogorgon does gain the ability to control screen space well, but if inactive the portals can be difficult to manage. Without activation they are simply just exits which can be taken, they grant no recon ability. The ability to activate each portal is a time-consuming process and each portal that has been activated is essentially a large neon sign which says "don't come over he

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

The Demogorgon is technically a "trap" style of character. His array of portal spawning abilities may not seem much like traps but they offer up similar utility to the other trapping characters within the g

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

The Nurse gets a lunge when attacking out of Blink which can be great for hitting unsuspecting survivors or those on the run. The Nurse's perks are some of the strongest in the game. While Stridor only makes survivor's groans louder, Nurse's Calling and Thanatophobia are both powerful - one for tracking survivors and one for slowdown. Her Blink stun is a bit hard to get used to, but once a player masters it the power can be quite dea

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

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

Since its original release date, Dead by Daylight has had a number of updates that bring in popular horror-movie killers and survivors into the fray. Thus, there is now an entire library of information that delves into the overall mythos of Dead by Daylight guide by Daylight which fleshes out entire backstories and beyond. As players progress through the archives, they can unlock sundry; bloodpoints, cinematics, logs, memories, and charms. Overall, The Archives are layered with different categories that each provide specific leveling systems and rewards. It's also important to note that some rewards are only available for a limited time within The Archive. So, players are encouraged to make frequent visits to see what's available and begin a weekly grind of the completion of different challen

The Tome

The Tome is the core of the entire Archive that's an interconnecting tree of nodes called "The Auris Web". All these nodes are constructed with branching challenges that will each need to be completed during trials. These challenges can be something simple like, "help a survivor off a meat hook" or "repair 2 generators during a trial", etc. The completion of a challenge will unlock the succeeding one, each with differing Tiers. Once players complete an entire web of challenges, they will be rewarded a 'Completion Charm' and 'Rift Fragments'. Charms are unique cosmetic items that are attached to the belt of the survivors that are specifically tied to their origin stories. Thus, killers can also get charms, but they're only decored on the meatho
