With that in mind, the Deathslinger needs to apply pressure to generators and survivors, using their ability carefully as reloading wastes time. While it may sound obvious to say pressure is necessary, killers like Freddy Krueger, The Hag, Hillbilly, and Demogorgon all have ways to quickly traverse the map, while the Deathslinger has only his default movement speed.

As you use Michael Myer's Stalk ability you will notice Myer's Evil Within gauge begin to increase.

The Rift

The Rift is basically the same concept as a 'Battle Pass', in which it comes with its own differing Tiers and its own challenges. The completion of nodes within 'The Auris Web' will grant XP which gradually builds up to create a 'Rift Fragment'. Rift Fragments are accumulated toward a leveling system (that has a max of 70) and each fragment will reward players with new; charms, outfits, and Auric Cells. Auric Cells is a special currency in Dead by Daylight that can be used to unlock premium rewards that are available for a limited time. So, if players have an eye on a certain reward, The Rift is only open for about 70 days at a time and it's recommended to keep grinding until that goal is reached before it res


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.
