With the “Moonrise”, Dead by Daylight has the best event yet coming up. Finally, you have to make an effort to unlock something!
The developers of Dead by Daylight are always trying to spice up their game with various in-game events. Although the events are popular, they sometimes lead to unfortunate side effects, such as during the Halloween event. There, the developers had to adjust the event afterwards because players were forced to play as killers to unlock everything.
But everything should be better during the “Moonrise” event.
When does the Moonrise event take place? In Dead by Daylight, the Moonrise event starts the day after tomorrow, on January 30th. It will last until February 13th, meaning 2 weeks in total. During the event, various cosmetics can be earned. There are three new outfits to unlock: a complete set each for the Huntress, Ace Visconti, and Feng Min.
Here’s how you collect points and coins: At the Moonrise event, killers and survivors collect points in different ways, ultimately earning coins.
There will be three costumes in total, consisting of three parts each – so 9 items. Each item can be purchased for one coin, which must first be earned through points. The first coin can be quickly earned, but the costs keep rising.
- The first coin is given for 100 points.
- The second coin requires 200 points.
- The third coin requires 300 points.
- and so on.
Thus, the costs continue to rise. So if you want to unlock all items, you need 9 coins, which means a total of 4,500 points.
Here’s how the point collection works: Players collect points during the “Moonrise” event in various ways. A small number of points is simply awarded for “normal gameplay” – that is, as a killer for hooking players and as a survivor for repairing generators. More points can be earned for riskier bonus objectives.
- Survivors earn 4 points each time a generator is repaired.
- 25 points are awarded if they pick up a “Lunar Vessel” during the match and manage to escape with it.
- Killers, on the other hand, get 2 points each time they hook a survivor.
- 3 additional points are earned when they destroy a Lunar Vessel. This can happen when they catch a survivor and hook them. All Lunar Vessels will then light up for the killer, and they can be destroyed.
- Survivors carrying a Lunar Vessel who are hooked will drop it, and it will return to its spawn. The killer can “take away” the Lunar Vessel from survivors and then destroy it.
How to find Lunar Vessels? By default, there are only 2 Lunar Vessels per map. This means that not all survivors can get one. However, the number of Lunar Vessels can be increased through special event offerings, which also grant additional bloodpoints. Survivors carrying a Lunar Vessel should be cautious, as they glow faintly through the vessel and are therefore easier to spot by the killer.
If you still have offerings from last year, you’re in luck: they will be converted into the new offerings.
Cosmetics will be available in the shop later: If you can’t unlock all items during the event, you can purchase them later in the shop – but then for real money. The event coins expire 2 weeks after the event ends, so make sure to spend them in time.
What were the previous problems? During the Halloween event, survivors did not have to survive to fulfill their event goals. They could fill a vial and then simply “die” to start the next round while still receiving the points. This led many survivors to fill their vials and then reveal themselves to the killer to quickly move on to the next match.
Cortyn says: To me, the planned features and changes seem perfect compared to previous events. Finally, killers and survivors must push themselves until the last second to fully benefit from the event. I’m really looking forward to the event and hope other players will be just as motivated.
