In Dead by Daylight, there is “photobombing” of a macabre kind. Survivors burst in while their teammates are being executed.
That survivors in Dead by Daylight somewhat “troll” the killers is actually part of the game’s daily routine. However, it is particularly amusing when the survivors throw themselves in front of the camera at the crucial moment to ruin the killer’s grand objective (or significantly enhance it). “Photobombing” is quite popular in Dead by Daylight as well – especially with the brutal Mori animation.
Why Dead by Daylight is so popular despite many flaws, we have analyzed here.
What is the “Mori animation”? In Dead by Daylight, the killer primarily kills survivors by hanging them on hooks and sacrificing them to a dark entity. Under certain conditions, however, a killer can also “take matters into their own hands” and kill a survivor on the spot. This happens through a special animation that varies for each killer – the so-called “Mori animation”, named after the offering “Memento Mori”, which first made this possible in the game.

So players “bomb” into the Mori: Actually, the Mori animation is a reward for the killer. They can take out a survivor directly, and do so in a pretty cool (but also brutal) way. However, both the killer and the victim are “trapped” in the animation for a few seconds and cannot do anything else. The remaining survivors like to take advantage of this to burst into the Mori animation.
Especially fitting is this of course with Ghostface, who actually pulls out a camera to document his latest murder.

Some survivors even make it their mission to “bomb” every Mori within a single round and even receive the killer’s approval, as can be seen from the nodding in this clip.
Photobombed three survivors getting mori’ed by Ghostface, would love to see it from his pov (but forgot to ask…) from r/deadbydaylight
But somehow one has to pass the time until the release of the next chapter “Chains of Hate”, right?
By the way, photobombing has also been a tradition in another game – namely in Overwatch during Halloween.
