Killer’s Special Perks in Dead by Daylight
In addition to this wide selection of perks, each killer has 3 special perks, designed to make it harder for survivors to escape. This allows you to break barricades more easily, resist stunning more, or track blood trails better.
Special Perks – Trappers:
- Unnerving Presence: Because the presence of the Trapper is so terrifying, the probability that survivors make mistakes while repairing or sabotaging increases.
- Brutal Strength: Increased strength allows the Trapper to destroy or break through obstacles more quickly.
- Agitation: You move faster when carrying bodies.
Special Perks – Hillbilly:
- Enduring: Because the Hillbilly is used to pain, he recovers faster from damage caused by objects.
- Lightborn: Due to impaired vision, he can resist stunning better.
- Tinkerer: Add-ons that reduce your cooldown time are more effective.
Special Perks – Wraith:
- Shadowborn: The Wraith’s eyes are trained because he lived in the dark for a long time – this allows you to see better but also makes you more susceptible to stunning.
- Bloodhound: You can now track blood trails almost anywhere because you can better sense the smell of blood.
- Predator: Footprints are visible longer and you can better perceive sounds and movements.
