“Bill” from Left 4 Dead is now also in Dead by Daylight. The new free character brings cool perks into the matches.
In the developers’ livestreams of Dead by Daylight, they have repeatedly emphasized that they are big fans of the Left 4 Dead series. No wonder, as the zombie shooter is one of the most fun and enduring games on Steam. Now the developers have managed to come to an agreement with Valve to offer a new DLC for Dead by Daylight.
The DLC “Left Behind” is free and will be automatically added to all owners of Dead by Daylight. For all players, there is the new survivor Bill Overbeck, who comes with 3 unique perks.
- Left Behind – If you are the last survivor in a match, you receive a powerful bonus to the repair speed of the remaining generators.
- Borrowed Time – If you rescue someone from the hook while you are in the killer’s terror radius, any damage that would down you or the rescued player is delayed for a few seconds, allowing both to escape for a while.
- Unyielding – Once per match, you can fully recover yourself from the downed state.
In addition to the new survivor Bill, there are also costumes for 4 more survivors, allowing you to dress them up like the protagonists from Left 4 Dead. Dwight looks like Ellis, Claudette borrows the appearance of Rochelle, Jake copies the outfit of Francis, and Meg is a reincarnation of Zoey.
Cortyn says: The combination of Dead by Daylight and Left 4 Dead fits perfectly here. I particularly like the fact of how the two “stories” have been intertwined. Because those who remember Left 4 Dead 2 know that Bill died while he had to repair a generator. That he now reappears in a game where he basically has to repair generators endlessly is brilliant and ironic at the same time. Well done.
