Add-ons are an addition to Killer Powers and Survivor Template:IconLink.


Overview

This Article presents an overview of all Add-ons featured in the Game. For more detailed information, such as the numbers behind the adjectives, please refer to an Add-on's respective Article.

Add-ons boost specific aspect of a Killer's Power and a Survivor's Item when equipped.

Players can equip up to two Add-ons at the same time, however, it is not possible to equip the same Add-on twice.

For Killers, Add-ons are single-use only and lost after a Trial.

  • This can only be prevented by burning the Template:IconLink Offering.

For Survivors, whether or not they lose their Add-ons after a Trial depends on the situation.

  • Add-ons are lost upon using up all charges of an Item.
  • Add-ons are lost upon disconnecting from the Trial.
  • Add-ons are lost upon dying in a Trial, unless the Template:IconLink Offering was burnt.
  • Add-ons are kept if one escapes with the Item that they are equipped on.

Stacking

Add-ons which affect the same part of a Power will generally stack with one another (both positive and negative effects).

  • Older Add-ons used to mention if they would stack or not. Newer Add-ons of more recent Killers do not mention this anymore unless they specifically do not stack.

Numbers

There are currently a total of 407 Add-ons featured in Template:IconLink:

152 Common Add-ons
198 Uncommon Add-ons
183 Rare Add-ons
148 Very Rare Add-ons
74 Ultra Rare Add-ons
28 Decommissioned Add-ons
14 Unused Add-ons


Differences to in-game Descriptions

It is the Wiki's philosophy that information provided to knowledge-seeking Players of Dead by Daylight should be as easily understandable as possible. The Wiki Administrators therefore take the liberty to occasionally rephrase and/or reword an Add-on's description, if the in-game one differs from the actual effect the Add-on has or if the in-game phrasing is sub-optimal due to English being a second language for the majority of the Developer team, sometimes making an Add-on's exact effect difficult to understand without additional explanation.

Additionally, all Add-on descriptions are reformatted to have a consistent layout across all Killers.

Mouse-Over Support

Starting with the more recent Killers, the Desktop version of the Wiki has started to support Mouse-Over functionality for the adjectives found in the Add-on descriptions (i.e. slightly increases, moderately decreases, etc.).
Hovering over those will reveal the values behind them (Mac Users might have to highlight the text first).

Currently the following Add-ons support this feature:


Add-on Series

Main article: Add-on Series

Killers tend to have Add-on Series, several Add-ons with similar effects, that increase in effectiveness and power the higher their Rarity class is.


Add-ons from Chests

Using the Perk Template:IconLink, a Survivor will find Template:IconLink with Add-ons attached to them.

Night Shroud is The Ghost Face's primary Power: It allows him to stalk Survivors, standing or crouched, making them Template:IconLink for a limited time. While Night Shroud is active, The Ghost Face has no Terror Radius and Red Stain, as long as he isn't seen by any Survivor.

WR charSelect portrait

Wailing Bell
The Wailing Bell is The Wraith's main Power: the Wailing Bell holds ancient powers, both with good and bad consequences. It allows its user to enter and walk the Spirit World when rung. When cloaked, The Wraith has no Terror Radius, meaning that Survivors do not hear a heartbeat, and The Wraith's Stain is also gone. The Wraith walks moderately faster when cloaked, making up for his inability to interact while in this state. The sound of the Bell is very loud, but can only be heard at a close distance to The Wraith. The accompanying *wooosh* sound, indicating a full uncloak or cloak, is heard by those within 40 metres of range. The volume of the Bell can be reduced with Add-ons.

"A heavy cast iron bell imbued with ancient powers."
Template:Add-ons: Wailing Bell (Wraith)

Add-ons for Survivor Template:IconLink

Flashlight

IconItems flashlight

Template:Add-ons: Flashlight

Key

IconItems key
Key
The Key is an Item that can be used to open the Hatch when it spawns. It can also be used with Add-ons to enhance its power and show the user different Auras, such as those of other Survivors in their vicinity or that of the Killer. The Broken Key cannot be used to open the Hatch and is of no use without Add-ons.
Template:Add-ons: Key

Map

IconItems map
Map
The Map is an Item that is used to track and mark props in the World. The standard map can only track Generators, but can track different props as well with the use of Add-ons that enhance its power. You can even make the tracked Auras visible to other Survivors and create markers that look like a pillar of bright light.
Template:Add-ons: Map

Med-Kit

IconItems firstAidKit
Med-Kit
The Med-Kit is an Item that is used to heal yourself and other Survivors. Other Survivors can also be healed without the use of a Med-Kit, but it takes considerably longer.

Template:Add-ons: Med-Kit

Toolbox

IconItems toolbox
Toolbox
The Toolbox is an Item that can be used to repair Generators more quickly or sabotage hooks. Different Toolboxes have different uses and not all of them are good for both uses. Add-ons can be equipped to enhance their speed and durability.

"It is unclear as to where these tools come from. Were they brought in by one of us or did they belong to one of the monsters?"
Template:Add-ons: Toolbox
