New Survivor – Alan Wake
Alan Wake will be joining Dead by Daylight as a new survivor. Here are the perks that he will bring into the game:
- Champion of Light
When you are holding a flashlight, this perk will activate. It grants you 50% Haste while shining a flashlight. If you successfully blind the Killer, they also receive 20% Hindered for 6 seconds. After that, this perk goes on cooldown for 80/70/60 seconds. - Boon: Illumination
By pressing and holding the Ability button 1 near a Dull or Hex Totem, you can bless it and create a Boon Totem. Soft chimes will ring out in a 24-meter range. Survivors within the range of your boon totem will see the aura of all chests and generators in blue. If you have a lit boon totem, you will be able to cleanse or bless totems 6/8/10% faster. You can only bless one totem at a time, and all equipped boon perks will be active on your Boon Totem. - Deadline
This perk will activate when you are injured, causing skill checks to appear 6/8/10% more frequently when repairing or healing and in random places. The penalty for missing skill checks is reduced by 50%.
If you are new to Dead by Daylight, it is a multiplayer action/horror game in which one player becomes the brutal Killer and the other four play as Survivors. The goal for the Killer is to sacrifice as many Survivors as possible, while the Survivors must work together to evade, escape, and stay alive.
