Halloween with Dead by Daylight: LABS, Skins, Events, and Rewards

.Hey, are you okay? We don’t have much time, so listen carefully.

The Killer’s out there in the Fog and our teammates are currently risking their lives to repair those generators.

… I’ve just received word on the last generator’s location. Let’s go.

Remember, we must escape together and report back what we discovered!

LABS Mode Collaboration: PUBG X Dead by Daylight

※ Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer horror game from Behaviour Interactive Inc., where one player takes on the savage Killer role and the other four playing the Survivors. The Killer’s goal is to hunt down the Survivors while the Survivors work together to avoid getting killed.

One day, everything was consumed by the Fog. Just like that. Nobody knows why.

Expeditions were dispatched – us right now – to study and report back the buried secrets of the Fog. But it didn’t take us long to find out something more lurked out here…

We call it the Killer.

The Killer makes sure many teams don’t come back from the Fog. In other words, not only do you have to reveal the Fog’s mysteries and escape safely, but you also have to make sure you don’t get slaughtered.

But before you begin, make sure to read the expedition guideline below for a higher chance of survival.

  • Once a match starts, there will be a number of broken generators (3 greater than the number of Survivors) scattered throughout the map.
  • Survivors (three teammates) will have to work together to repair 1 more generator than the number of Survivors to activate the exit gates’ switches.
  • There will be a single Killer per match.
  • The Killer has one goal: do whatever they can to prevent every Survivor from escaping.

Survivors’ Guide

1. To win, avoid the Killer and open the exit gates to escape.

2. Characteristics

  • Three character states exist in this mode.
  • Normal State
    • Sprinting or being damaged/knocked out will reveal your trail to the Killer for 10 seconds.
    • Your heart will beat faster and louder when the Killer is near you.
    • Sprinting will drain your exhaust gauge. If your exhaust gauge is fully depleted, you can not sprint until the gauge regains health.
    • Falling from a high place does not inflict damage, but it will take longer to stand upright again.
  • Damaged State
    • Receiving damage in normal state will bring you to a damaged state.
    • You will drop a consistent blood trail (lasting 4 seconds) behind you every second whenever you move.
    • You will also moan in pain, which may alert the Killer.
    • Using the Med Kit to heal yourself will turn you back to normal state.
      • Other Survivors can also heal you to turn you back to normal state.
  • Knocked Out
    • Receiving damage from damaged state will knock you out.
    • Your movement speed will drastically decrease.
    • You can not interact with any map objects.
    • The Killer or another Survivor will be able to carry you.
    • Your HP will slowly decrease for 4 minutes; you will die once your HP drops to 0.
    • You can slowly heal yourself even without the Med Kit, but another Survivor must heal you in order to go back to damaged state.

3. Generators

  • Find broken generators and use the interaction key to fix every one.
  • A QTE will show up during repair – if you succeed, the repair gage slightly increases. If you fail, your location is revealed to the Killer and the generator’s repair gage slightly decreases.
    • ※ QTE: Quick Time Event is an onscreen prompt requiring players to perform certain actions for the next step.
  • More than one Survivor can repair a single generator together to speed up repair time.
  • Once the required number of generators is repaired, the location of the exit gates will show up as silhouettes on the screen.
  • Flip the switch on the exit gate with the interaction key to escape in time.
    • Must escape through the exit altogether within 2 minutes if no Survivor is knocked out or stuck in a Blue Zone Locker.
    • Must escape through the exit altogether within 4 or more minutes if at least 1 Survivor is knocked out or stuck in a Blue Zone Locker.
    • If every Survivor fails to escape within the specified time, the Killer wins.
  • If you’re the only Survivor alive, you can open the exit gate without having to repair any more generators.


4. Against the Killer

  • Survivors can not kill the Killer.
  • Avoid getting damaged/knocked out and sent to the Blue Zone Locker as a sacrifice by the Killer.
    • Blue Zone Locker: Holds knocked out Survivors for a certain amount of time before killing them.
    • Blue silhouettes of knocked out Survivors are shown to other Survivors.
  • When you’re knocked out and the Killer carries you, a QTE will pop up to give you a chance to stun the Killer and drop you.
  • Survivors can also knock over randomly spawned Pallets to either gain distance while running away, or to hit the Killer at the right timing to temporarily disorient them.

5. Items

  • You can only hold one item at the same time.
  • Items are consumed on use.
  • At the beginning, Survivors are randomly given one starting item among the following four:
    • Smoke Grenade: Creates a temporary smoke field to hinder the Killer’s vision.
    • Lv. 1 Stun Grenade (2): Use to temporarily stun the Killer.
    • Lv. 1 Toolbox: Use to temporarily destroy the Blue Zone Locker. It can also be used to speed up generator repairs.
    • Lv. 1 Med Kit: Use to heal yourself and earn a speed boost when healing yourself and/or your teammates.
      • A QTE pops up during heal – if you succeed, the heal gage increases slightly. If you fail, the gage slightly decreases.
      • More than one Survivor (they don’t all have to be holding Med Kits) can heal a single Survivor together to speed up heal time.
  • Survivors can also find and pick up item crates during the match.
    • Lv. 2 Stun Grenade: Use to temporarily stun and hinder the Killer’s vision.
    • Smoke Grenade
    • Lv. 2 Toolbox
    • Lv. 2 Med Kit
  • If you are not holding any items, the silhouettes of lootable item crates are shown on the screen.
    • If you loot an item from the crate when you already have one, the item you were holding will be dropped.

Killer’s Guide

1. To win, find Survivors and kill them before they escape.

2. Characteristics

  • Killers have faster movement speed than Survivors.
    • Falling from a high place does not inflict damage nor require any delay to stand upright again.
    • However, vaulting speed is much slower.
  • Silhouettes of Survivors who failed to heal themselves/teammates or repair a generator are shown on the screen.
  • Silhouettes of Survivors who rescue other Survivors from the Blue Zone Lockers are shown on the screen.
  • Generators being repaired can be damaged with the interaction key.
  • Knocked over pallets can be destroyed.

3. Items

  • Killers can attack and/or knock out Survivors with the provided weapons:
  • A loaded Win94
    • Can obtain Win94 ammo by interacting with the Blue Zone Lockers.
  • Machete
    • You can knock out a Survivor immediately with the Machete when they’re vaulting or interacting with an object.
  • Sticky Bomb
    • A silhouette of the bomb you attached will show up on the screen.
    • Can obtain 1 more Sticky Bomb 5 seconds after using the first one.
    • You can hold up to 2 Sticky Bombs.
    • The Sticky Bomb does not knock out Survivors.

4. Against Survivors

  • Knock out Survivors and carry them to Blue Zone Lockers to kill them.
    • The Killer will drop the Survivor if stunned by a Stun Grenade, etc.
    • If every Survivor is trapped in a Blue Zone Locker, they will die immediately and end the match with the Killer’s victory.
  • Killers must keep captured Survivors in a Blue Zone Locker for at least 2 minutes to kill them,
  • OR keep Survivors captured for the second time for at least 1 minute,
  • OR keep Survivors captured the third time to kill them immediately,
  • OR leave a knocked out Survivor on the ground for 4 minutes.
