Auras

Auras are an integral Game Mechanic in Dead by Daylight .

Overview[]

For a guide on some in-game distances to better gauge the working-radius of Aura-reading Perks, please refer to Distances.

Some Unlockables unlock potential in one's Aura-reading abilities.

Auras can be seen through any obstacles and usually across large distances. Aura-reading abilities are great for locating Allies, Enemies or Objectives.

Aura-reveal vs. Aura-Flare-ups[]

The are two main types of Auras in Dead by Daylight: Aura-reveals and Aura-Flare-ups:

Whereas Aura-reveals or just Auras are continuous and reveal not only a Survivor's location, but also their every action for their duration, Aura-Flare-ups are a mere snapshot of a Survivor's location at the time of it being triggered.
Unlike Aura-reveals, they do not relay the Survivor's actions and are always of the same red colour.

Aura Colours[]

Auras come in different colours, depending on whether the Aura is from an Objective, an Ally or an Enemy.

Trivia[]

As a Survivor, hiding in a Locker will stop any Aura-reading ability of both the Killer and the other Survivors, but will also apply the Blindness Status Effect.
- However, Aura flare-ups caused by Rancor , Infectious Fright or Madness Tier-ups do not strictly count as Aura-reading abilities, those remain unaffected by hiding inside a Locker or when using Perks such as Distortion or Sole Survivor .
