About Dead by Daylight
Dead by Daylight pits four Survivors against a single Killer in an asymmetrical multiplayer match. Survivors view the world in third‑person, giving them broader situational awareness, while the Killer hunts from a first‑person perspective.
Each encounter takes place on a procedurally generated Killing Ground with random spawn points, so layouts change every round. Players must cooperate—or act selfishly—to repair generators, avoid capture, and escape before being sacrificed.
01 / THE GUIDE
Survivor Perspective
Survivors play in third‑person, which the store description notes provides them with better situational awareness. This view lets them see more of the environment, locate generators, and monitor the Killer’s movements.
The primary survivor objective is to escape the Killing Ground by repairing generators and reaching exit gates. Cooperation can raise escape chances, but the description also allows for selfish play, meaning individual decisions affect outcomes.
- Mark generator locations early to coordinate repairs.
- Use obstacles to break the Killer’s line of sight.
02 / THE GUIDE
Killer Perspective
The Killer is presented from a first‑person view, focusing attention on the prey. This perspective aligns with the store’s claim that the Killer is more focused on their target.
Each Killer possesses a unique power, ranging from slasher abilities to paranormal effects. Mastering that power and learning the Killing Ground layout are described as essential for successful hunts.
- Listen for generator noises to locate Survivors.
- Practice each Killer’s power to understand its range.

Procedural Levels
Every match generates a new map layout with random spawn points, as the description states that each level is procedurally generated. This guarantees that no two games feel identical.
The changing environment forces players to stay alert and adapt quickly, because the world and its dangers shift each round.
- Learn common map landmarks to navigate faster.
- Watch the fog for visual cues about nearby threats.

Progression System
Both Survivors and Killers have deep progression trees with unlockable items and skills. Experience, skill points, and environmental knowledge shape each player’s strategy.
Unlockables can be customized to fit personal strategy, allowing players to tailor abilities and cosmetics without affecting core gameplay.
- Prioritize skills that match your preferred role.
- Review unlocked items before each match.
