While Evolve established the 4v1 formula among contemporary asymmetric games, the overall trend evolved from the four-person teams playing the role of hunters to being the hunted. In Evolve , the team of hunters had to scout the trail of clues in hunting down a giant monster, controlled by a player whose objective was to try and stay off the radar and run as far away from the hunters as possible in its bid for survi

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 Archives are broken up into three distinct categories; Rift, Tome, and Shrine. They each offer something unique to help players understand the survivors' backstories, perks, and Patch 9.2.0 Update even unlock some cosmetics. There's a branching algorithm of various challenges that players must complete in order to achieve higher status and unlock character origin-story elements. Some challenges can be rolled-over across different trails and give players multiple chances to complete. However, there are higher Tier challenges that only give players one chance to accomplish. The following is a list of the different layers of the Archive and how it functi

The Demogorgon adds an additional "trapping" style character to the killer roster of Dead by Daylight . With a vast mobility range and capability, the Demogorgon is meant for players who enjoy a style of play which features setting up portals and traps to traverse the arena and catch players off guard. However, the Demogorgon is one of the more difficult characters to use in Dead by Daylight and may require some getting used to. This guide will provide players new to the Demogorgon's playstyle some essential tips to optimize the hideous creature's arsenal and opti

Now the game is taking its first foray into a realm of horror only previously touched upon with a small collaboration: video games. To celebrate its fourth anniversary, Dead by Daylight is working with Konami to license out characters, a locale, and more from the world of Silent Hill . The crossover for Chapter 16 was officially unveiled during a broadcast today and will be officially released on PC and consoles June 16. Game Rant sat down with Behaviour's Game Director Mathieu Cote, Creative Director Dave Richard, and Head of Public Relations Marie Claude Bernard last week to discuss the ins-and-outs of representing a beloved franch

Dead by Daylight is a popular asymmetrical survival-horror game that entails a group of survivors being stranded in a limbo-state of reality that's overlooked by an evil eternal presence called, "The Entity". They are forced to take trails and survive situations in various realms while evading a killer within their own stomping grounds. This game was originally released on June 14, 2016, by Behaviour Interactive and it's now available on multiple gaming platforms. Players take control of four distinct survivors that each has its own perks and stats while the killer is also controlled by another player, as well . Players need to power-up five generators that are scattered throughout the map so they can open up the exit gates and escape. Meanwhile, the killer looms throughout the map, snatching up the survivors and placing them on meathooks as a sacrifice for The Ent

Completing an entire web of challenges will also unlock the next Tier of challenges called "Master Challenges". Even though the earlier challenges can be stacked and carried over across several trails, 'Master Challenges' will need to be done in just one trial. Completing the 'Master Challenges' are a much more difficult feat but, they offer more robust rewards. The kicker is that some of these challenges can only be completed by using a specific perk that's only available for purchase in the 'Shrine' for one week. Therefore, stopping by to shop around within The Shrine is a good idea before taking on the higher Tier challen

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. Thus, killers can also get charms, but they're only decored on the meatho
