“At first I actually believed that it was a pig that slept in front of me on the ground. An animal that somehow had eluded the banalities of my old life and managed to end up at this forsaken and forgotten place. But then it rose, from crouch to standing, with its lifeless eyes nailed to my person. I ran, as I have so brutally learnt to do. My curiosity halted my escape after a few feet and I hid in a cabinet. The Pig moved like a predator – and I saw: a human body wearing a pig's head as ornament. It walked by the cabinet and its snout was just a few inches away from me. I held my breath, aching for freedom. A sudden sound caught the pig's attention and it walked away. But not without giving me a last, final glance, as if it wanted to inform me that I was given a second chance. I will not get a third.” |

Overview
|
|
Creep up and ambush Survivors with The Pig, the stealthy successor to the legendary Jigsaw. But simply hooking them isn’t enough. Survivors can first be punished with a Reverse Bear Trap, which they must race to remove at Jigsaw Boxes across the map. Suddenly, repairing generators isn’t quite so pressing... |
|
The Pig is a tormenting Killer, able to crouch into stealth mode, then ambush Survivors from a short distance. She can also apply Reverse Bear Traps to downed Survivors, forcing them to remove it before the timer runs out, triggering an instant death.
Her personal Perks, Hangman's Trick
, Surveillance
, and Make Your Choice
, give her more Map control and expose altruistic Survivors.
The focus of her Perks is on pain and torture. A Hook is not that easy to flee from and all Survivors will be seriously tested when it comes to Skill Checks.
Difficulty Rating: Hard
(These Killers use mechanics that are specific to them and require more practice to be effective)
Lore
- Additional Lore can be found in Tome 10 - SAW: Vain Ambition.
When John Kramer, better known as Jigsaw, planned for his son to be born during the Chinese Zodiac's Year of the Pig, he wanted it to represent fertility and rebirth; a new beginning for him and his wife, and the start of a charmed life for his son. But that plan was shattered on the night that a junkie broke into his wife's clinic, hoping to score.
After this event resulted in the death of his unborn son, John finally caught up with the junkie, making him his first test subject, and The Pig was changed forever too. It became a representation of the disease that was rotting John from the inside, a reminder that we are just meat unless we elevate ourselves by our actions, by grasping life from the jaws of death. The Pig became a vessel, an agent of Jigsaw, conveying the subjects to their test. For some of those who emerged victorious, The Pig could still be a rebirth, into their new lives as apprentices, even disciples, of Jigsaw.
That was the case for Amanda Young, a troubled soul, whose life had been a catalogue of harm, both to herself and those around her. That changed when she faced, and bested, Jigsaw's test. Deciding her life was worth something, she became devoted to Jigsaw's cause, ready to take over when cancer consumed him.
But she became more dependent on John, her anguish at his impending death combining with a belief that their test subjects weren't capable of saving themselves, of being reborn in the crucible of the games.
Seeing this, John presented her with another game, another chance to save herself, but Amanda let her rage and jealousy rule her actions. She failed the test and took a bullet as a consequence.
Bleeding out on the tiled floor, darkness engulfed Amanda's vision, accompanied by a sound like creaking wood. Then she was in a forest, once more viewing the world through the eyes of a Pig. Trees surrounded her, their branches clawing at her from all sides. Waves of panic washed over her and she could hear her breath reverberating inside the mask.
Had she been damned, cursed to spend her days here, in this guise? Or maybe this was another test? Maybe she hadn't failed at all? John always thought one step ahead of everyone else, planned for every eventuality, and he would never give up on her, surely?
Jigsaw may have gone but he had passed her onto another. A being for whom she would be The Pig again.
Ultimately, she saw now that she had been right in the choices she had made. The time for games was over. There was no chance of redemption for any of them. They were meat, and meat was destined to die.

DLC
- Main article: Downloadable Content
The Pig is part of 1 DLC:
Change Log
Patch 2.0.0
- Quality of Life: fixed an issue that caused The Pig to vault more slowly than other Killers.
Patch 2.3.0
- Quality of Life: reduced the footstep audio.
Patch 2.5.0
- Buff: reduced the Crouch State transition time from 2 seconds to 1.3 seconds.
- Buff: reduced the fade-in/fade-out timers for the Terror Radius from 6.6 seconds to 4 seconds.
- Nerf: increased The Pig's the Terror Radius from 28 metres to 32 metres. This was done to standardise her Terror Radius with that of other 4.6 m/s Killers.
Patch 2.7.0
- Nerf: Reverse Bear Traps only become active when a Generator is completed.
- This means that they no longer activate when initiating the Endgame Collapse .
- This means that they no longer activate when initiating the Endgame Collapse
- Nerf: inactive Reverse Bear Traps no longer trigger when attempting to leave via the Exit Gate.
Patch 3.1.0
- Nerf: The Pig's Ambush Attack is no longer considered a Basic Attack.
- Quality of Life: adjusted The Pig's speed curves for crouching and uncrouching to be smoother.
Patch 3.2.1
- Nerf: adjusted The Pig's Carrying speed to match that of other Killers, reducing it from 3.85 m/s or 96.25 % to 3.68 m/s or 92 %.
- This was due to an oversight. The Pig's code is mostly copy-pasted from The Huntress, who, as a 4.4 m/s Killer, uses a higher Carrying speed modifier (x0.8365), which was not adjusted to the fact that The Pig is a 4.6 m/s Killer.
Patch 3.3.1
- Buff: updated The Pig's Power with the Undetectable Status Effect.
Patch 5.3.0
- Change: received an Add-on Pass, reworking several Add-ons.
Patch 6.0.0
- Change: added an extra Jigsaw Box in Trials with The Pig.
Additionally, the fourth searched Jigsaw Box is guaranteed to remove the Trap.- This change was motivated by many Pig players body-blocking the last Jigsaw Box, preventing Survivors from searching it, thus guaranteeing death.
- Change: reworked the key finding logic. There are now 12 guaranteed box searches split between 4 Reverse Bear Traps instead of a random 4-16.
- Instead of needing to find the correct Jigsaw Box for each Reverse Bear Trap, each Trap now has a predetermined number of searches required before it is removed.
- Instead of needing to find the correct Jigsaw Box
Trivia
- The Pig was the first Killer with two different Weapon cool-downs.
- The Pig was the first Killer to have a secondary interaction with downed Survivors other than the Memento Mori .
- The Pig was the second Killer, and currently remains the only one, to have a secondary Attack mode with her Ambush Dash.
- The Pig was the fourth female Killer and the first female licensed Killer.
- The Pig was the fifth Killer to wear a Mask.
- The Pig was the seventh licensed Character and the fourth licensed Killer to be added to Dead by Daylight.
- Due to residual code from The Huntress that was used as a basis for The Pig, her carrying speed multiplier was never adjusted to her being a standard Killer in terms of Movement speed, allowing her to carry slightly faster than any other Killer.
- With Patch 3.2.1, this was ultimately adjusted.
- The Pig is one of only two Killers with an alternative way of killing Survivors by using her Reverse Bear Traps.
- The Pig was the first Killer to have an animal as her official theme.
- The Pig is one of the few killers that is directly associated with an animal (a pig).
Voice Actor
- The Pig is voiced by Christine Marsh, who at that time worked as an Associate Producer on the Game.
