Survivors are in third person, but the killers are in first. Being the killer is different because each killer has different strengths and weaknesses. So when in the first-person view, it makes moving hard especially when the survivors are circling quickly around the killer. Behavior Behaviour Interactive Update should make these actions fluid, and less disrupt


The allure of this killer's harpoon is extremely prevalent for a new player. The idea that this killer can snatch a survivor and dish out extreme damage is one which any killer player would be head over heels for. But given the skills large punishment for a missed or broken harpoon shot, it is important that the technique is not used reckles


With the addition of the "Chains of Hate" DLC in Dead by Daylight , players can now experience a whole new type of horror as the Deathslinger shoots and draws in his victims from afar.
