Dead by Daylight News

All Dead by Daylight Killers ranked from best to worst

As much fun as surviving is in Dead by Daylight, the asymmetric online multiplayer game is almost always at its best when stepping into the role of one of its many cold-blooded Killers. There's nothing quite like stalking your prey and using the powers at your disposal to strike fear into other players. Which is why we've decided to put together a list of the Killers in the game, ranked from best to worst.

There are many factors that contribute to how effective each of the 14 Dead by Daylight Killers is at eliminating survivors and thwarting escape attempts, from their main set of abilities to the special perks that only they posses. Each Killer also has a very different skill ceiling, so we've arranged the following Dead by Daylight Killers list to reflect not just their potential, but also how easy they are to use.

The following features all the Killers available in the game, including those that come with the paid DLC. It will cover their strengths, weaknesses, and will hopefully give you an idea of which one might fit best for your playstyle. Without further ado, let's get to slaying.

The Descend Beyond Chapter is Now Available on Steam

Descend Beyond is a new Chapter for Dead by Daylight.

Talbot Grimes – The Blight– was once a bright and ambitious chemist who sought to enhance humanity through the use of his compounds, only to become a victim of his own ambitions. After his research was stolen, The Blight was lured into the Realm of the Entity by the promise of new, forbidden knowledge.

The new Survivor is Felix Richter, an eccentric architect with a unique vision. Returning to the mysterious island where his father had disappeared, Felix descended into the darkness beyond and was never seen again.

The Descend Beyond Chapter includes:

A new Killer: The Blight
A new Survivor: Felix Richter
An exclusive item for Felix

Let ambition drive you... but tread carefully: the line between ambition and hubris is razor-thin. Experience the corruption of The Blight, and the ambitious spirit of Felix Richter with the Descend Beyond Chapter.

Dead by Daylight gets new Killer, Survivor, cosmetic goodies, and "major" graphics update

Behaviour Interactive's asymmetric horror fest Dead by Daylight is in for another update, which ushers in a brand-new Survivor, Killer, and batch of in-game cosmetic goodies. Oh, and all players will be getting a "major graphical update that will be available for free for all players, on all platforms".

The horror game's new chapter is titled Descend Beyond, and its headline Killer is a once "bright and ambitious", but now very scary and corrupt Scottish chemist, a press release explains. His name is Talbot Grimes - now known as The Blight - and he "played one too many times with human lives for profits". He used the "compounds" he created as a kid of bargaining chip to save his own skin, but now he's been betrayed by the ones who originally showed him mercy. "As he descended into darkness, the Entity bestowed him a field of bright orange flowers. A new Killer had stepped into the Fog." Shudder.

The new Survivor, on the other hand, is a "brilliant" architect from Austria called Felix Richter - and his family has long been tied to a secret society.

Dead by Daylight is getting a 'massive' graphical overhaul starting next week

Dead by Daylight's developers are industriously anticipating the launch of the next console generation, and that's good news for PC players. Developer Behaviour Interactive plans to release Dead by Daylight on the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, and that's going to mean a major graphical overhaul for the PC edition of the game.

The graphics overhaul is going to be available on all platforms, not just high-end PCs and next gen consoles. "The ultimate goal is to improve the immersion tenfold, making the environments as realistic as a scary, disturbing nightmare", Behaviour says in a press statement released today. "The lighting and VFX will be vastly upgraded, as well as the modeling, textures, and animations. More props will be added to the maps, and proper functions will be given to rooms to make them more identifiable."

Dead by Daylight players will start seeing the first bits of the update start trickling into the game soon. Next week's Dead by Daylight patch will include enhanced versions of some of the game's common assets like lockers and generators, with more added every six weeks.
