Perhaps even more than playing Dead by Daylight , its player base loves speculating about who the next survivors and killers will be to join in on the terrorizing fun that is sacrificing to, or escaping, the Entity. We recently had the opportunity to speak with Mathieu Côté, the game director for the game at Behavior Interactive, and Ps5 Missions he had some fascinating insight on how these characters are chosen, as well as why Scooby Doo and the Mystery Incorporated gang will likely never appear in the g

From a tactical standpoint, Mirage is effective at causing distractions. If a Mirage can successfully capture the attention of an opposing duo, the Pathfinder can grapple over to the team and get them while they're not paying attention to him. And, if done especially well, Mirage can then use his decoy escape to push the unwitting team from another direction, resulting in a strong push strat

In the last few rings of the game, it’s especially important to keep an eye on the location of each upcoming circle. Players who know the map well can anticipate endgame situations that provide opportunities for both high-ground and low-ground positioning. Players who want to win should aim to do everything they can to take out their opponents before this happens, even if this means pushing the fight from a lower le

This option comes with a strong caveat, being that distance-sniping tactics aren’t always effective. It’s not uncommon to find someone who can deals 1000+ damage with no kills because they’re sniping halfway across the map and can do just enough damage to annoy opponents, but not enough to get knocks or kills. Balance whether it’s worth it to take a sniper distance fight that will also give away the squad’s position, and also consider that the high-ground opponent may have powerful sniper rifles as w

As as the Crypto reveal video shows , and as was supplemented by several in-game clues such as changing banners and Crypto sightings , Crypto appears to have successfully hacked the Apex Games Arena. While it's not entirely clear how that hack affected the arena, it likely that whatever he did made it inopera

He concluded by stating that there is some room to experiment, but only because of the hard work put into creating what the game is today, "I think we could potentially push the boundaries of what can fit in DBD , to a certain extent, we’ve created something that is powerful enough to withstand a bit of stretchi

The Bunker series may seem superfluous to some, but think about how much time you spend at your desk playing games or working. I'm a big proponent of creating happy environments for a happy life, and the Bunker series not only eliminates gaming frustrations, but creates a fun an inviting environment to game in. What could be better than t

Though it may not technically be a beach zone, the teal-colored water and sandy-looking shores give the area an island-like feel. In the trailer, Octane launches off a bounce pad into a geyser, which pushes the character into the air. This is an indication that players will be able to traverse the map by doing the s

That said, if a player is confident in the team’s ability to aim and critically hit its opposition, getting as high as possible and taking advantage of environmental elements such as rock formations and plants that give cover is a strong way to counter a mountaintop camper. A Kraber is the ideal weapon in this situation, but both the Longbow with the Skullpiercer and the Triple Take with the Precision Choke are effective as w

The kind of experimentation was clear in the release of the Stranger Things chapter featuring Nancy Wheeler, Steve Harrington, and the Demogorgon. While that series leans less away from horror, Côté explained how positive the release was, "[ Stranger Things ] was by far the biggest release we’ve had in the history of Dead by Daylight , we broke out concurrent user records, and there are more people playing today than there have ever been. And with the Switch release, we just added on top of th

This is a solid combo for the team that plans to get sweaty. Both characters have abilities that allow them to reposition very quickly and dodge income bullets. Further, Octane’s health regeneration allows him to take some damage from the storm or distant sniper fire while Wraith’s phase ability can help her temporarily avoid damage completely in both of these situati

Ultimately, players that can secure the high ground within a closing circle can benefit from better vantage points, shot angles and cover. For instance, a player perched on the mountains to the east of the redeploy balloon at Slum Lakes can spot opponents from just west of Containment all the way through the tops of the houses across Slum Lakes. Because of view obstructions, players situated in lower ground positions will have a harder time spotting opponents and tracking locations of enemy squads, making them ill-prepared to spot and track their opposit
