<br>One of the most popular competitive online experiences, _Dead by Daylight _ forces players to learn the basics of surviving from and brutally murdering other players. The game hosts a wide variety of killers including some fan-favorite icons from the horror genre. Each of these playable killers hosts a unique and differing play style.

Gearhead is further limited because it does not activate from special attacks, such as either Leatherface or Hillbilly’s chainsaw, or hatchets thrown by the Huntress, and is all but counterproductive outside of certain M1 killers. Even in select builds, the conditions required to gain any information are simply too demanding compared to something like Discordance, which offers what could be argued as superior information with no input needed from the kil

In the lore of Dead by Daylight , the Entity is an "almighty malevolent being" that captures Survivors and Killers, traps them in Trial Grounds, and forces them to go through endeavors that allows it to feed on their emotions until it can consume the entire world. These "trials" are what play out in-game, as the Survivor characters are tasked with starting generators around the arena to open exits before being sacrificed to the Entity. In order to do so, Killer players must incapacitate their prey, carry them to hooks, and leave them there to be taken. Killer perks exist in service of these goals by facilitating the discovery of Survivors or making it easier to incapacitate them, as all four Survivors must be sacrificed for the Killer to

One major way Pyramid Head is able to try and drive his victims where he wants them to be is through a new mechanic called trench drawing. By planting his giant knife into the ground, Pyramid Head can create a trench that forces Survivors to make a choice: Find another way to a particular location, or wade through the trench and become inflicted with the "Tormented" status. While a Survivor is under the effects of "Torment," if Pyramid Head puts them in a dying state he can begin the sacrifice sequence without a hook.

Some of the perks available for Dead by Daylight can be fairly self-explanatory. However, there are a few that don't quite have the required abilities to increase the chances of surviving the Entity's minions.

There are a total of 68 perks for the survivors and starting at levels; 5, 10, and 15 will unlock their new designated slots.
