Description[]
Stranger Things is a brand-new Chapter for Dead by Daylight, which includes a new Map. Purchasing the Stranger Things DLC will unlock its new Killer and two new Survivors.
It was the early 1980s, a time of cold war experiments and naïve fascination, a time of stranger things. In the small town of Hawkins, Indiana, covert experiments were being conducted.
When an inter-dimensional gate was accidentally opened at the Hawkins National Laboratory, an army of creatures with long, curved claws and gaping faces that bloom like horrific flowers was unleashed. These creatures were labelled "Demogorgons" by a group of local kids who encountered them.
Nancy Wheeler's knack for investigative journalism first emerged when she brought down a secret government organisation in Hawkins following the disappearance of her closest friend, Barb. Her being fired from the Hawkins Post during the summer of 1985 has not dissuaded Nancy from chasing leads...
Formerly a popular jock, Steve Harrington, is struggling to find his place in Hawkins now that high school is over, and his old friends moved away to college. Since then, he's spent his time scooping ice cream at the mall, flirting with girls, and cracking secret Russian codes. With the help of his friends Dustin and Robin, Steve is carving out a new identity for himself and learning what true friendship really means. It's this newfound loyalty to his friends that compels Steve to come to the aid of his ex-girlfriend, Nancy when he suspects she might be in terrible danger...
Killer: The Demogorgon[]
The Demogorgon's Info[]
The Demogorgon
A blooming mouth full of needle-like teeth for a face, large, curved, razor-sharp claws, and powerful legs to pounce on victims, make The Demogorgon a frightening monster to face in any dimension. It is a nightmare of unrestrained, feral rage as it hunts down its prey and rips it to pieces, devouring every last morsel of flesh and gore, leaving nothing for scavengers. The creature is untouched by any sense of compassion or restraint. Looming over its victim, it shows no doubt or mercy, just the pure instinct of its insatiable blood lust as it delivers the deathblow. A perfect hunter, The Demogorgon is a macabre testament to the horrors lurking in the Upside Down and why it was choice pickings for The Entity.
The Demogorgon's Power[]
"An unknown and otherworldly power surged through its body.
Suddenly the ground ripped open, swallowing The Demogorgon whole."
SPECIAL ABILITY: OF THE ABYSS
Press and hold the Power button to channel Of the Abyss:
- Triggers Killer Instinct on Survivors inside the Area of Effect of Active Portals.
- Unlocks the ability to perform a Shred Attack.
SPECIAL ATTACK: SHRED
Press the Attack button after charging Of the Abyss to at least 65 % to dash forwards and unleash a vicious slash:
- Causes The Demogorgon to lunge forwards at 18.4 m/s.
- Grants the ability to destroy Breakable Walls and dropped Pallets.
SPECIAL OBJECTS: PORTALS
The Demogorgon starts the Trial with 6 Portals.
Press and hold the Secondary Power button to bend down and create an Inactive Portal in the ground:
- Inactive Portals are invisible to Survivors and cannot be sealed.
- Inactive Portals do not have an Area of Effect and thus do not trigger Killer Instinct.
When The Demogorgon interacts with Inactive Portals to traverse the Upside Down, both the Portal he travels from and the one he travels to are transformed into Active Portals:
- Active Portals are visible to Survivors and can be sealed.
- Active Portals have an Area of Effect of 4 metres around them.
- Survivors inside the Area of Effect suffer permanently from the Oblivious Status Effect and are revealed by Killer Instinct while The Demogorgon is channelling Of the Abyss.
SPECIAL INTERACTION: SEALING PORTALS
Survivors can interact with Active Portals to seal them, either alone or together with other Survivors, though at increasingly reduced efficiency:
- 1 Survivor seals a Portal in 12 seconds.
- 2 Survivors seal a Portal in ~9 seconds.
- 3 Survivors seal a Portal in 8 seconds.
- 4 Survivors seal a Portal in 6 seconds.
Sealing a Portal will recylce it into the inventory of The Demogorgon.
SPECIAL LOCOMOTION: TRAVERSING THE UPSIDE DOWN
Press and hold the Secondary Power button while standing atop any Portal and aiming at any Highlighted Portal to enter the first Portal and traverse the Upside Down, appearing at the second Portal:
- Transforms Inactive Portals into Active Portals.
- Grants the Undetectable Status Effect for 5 seconds.
The Demogorgon's Perks[]
Cruel Limits | Your ties to the otherworldly manifest when your prey attempts to get away.
Whenever a Generator is completed, Cruel Limits activates:
| |
---|---|---|
Mindbreaker | Your distressing presence drains and weakens your prey.
All Survivors repairing a Generator suffer from the following afflictions:
| |
Surge | Your eerie presence charges the air and interferes with technology.
Whenever you put a Survivor into the Dying State with a Basic Attack, all Generators within 32 metres of your location instantly explode and start regressing.

Survivor: Nancy Wheeler[]
Nancy's Info[]
The Aspiring Journalist
Studious and rebellious, Nancy Wheeler is a stubborn investigator with an instinct for a good story. When her closest friend, Barb went missing, she did everything she could to unravel the truth and secure justice. A brilliant journalist, she chases stories and follows leads despite the inequality and chauvinism she encounters at the workplace. Pursuing a lead one evening, she fearlessly approaches the Hawkins National Laboratory before suddenly losing consciousness. A moment later she awakens in a strange misty realm with the sound of a familiar roar echoing through the air.
Nancy's Perks[]
Better Together | You seek justice and uncover the truth no matter what obstacle stands in your way.
"Let's burn that lab to the ground." — Nancy Wheeler | |
---|---|---|
Fixated | When you have a goal in mind, there is no turning back; better to ask forgiveness than permission.
"I wanna finish what we started. I want to kill it." — Nancy Wheeler | |
Inner Strength | You look inwards and trust your instincts when you feel lost and alone.
Each time you cleanse a Totem, Inner Strength activates:
"All this time I've been trying so hard to pretend like everything's fine, but it's not." — Nancy Wheeler |
Nancy's Cosmetic Piece[]
Torn Sweatshirt - Crawling into the Upside Down has its ups and downs... like ripping your favourite sweater. Thankfully, you'll live.
Survivor: Steve Harrington[]
Steve's Info[]
The Former Jock
Popular and arrogant, yet compassionate, Steve Harrington is an unlikely mentor and leader. He often acts as a surrogate big brother to a younger boy named Dustin. He even helped him find his slimy inter-dimensional pet Demogorgon, D'Artagnan. His reputation as a protector grew and he soon became a sort of "babysitter" for a group of kids in Hawkins with a knack for messing around with strange and dangerous things. His courage is unmatched so that he was even able to fend off a Demogorgon when it threatened his friends. One evening he received a call for assistance from his friend Nancy Wheeler. He drove all the way to the Hawkins National Laboratory to see if she was okay. He searched the area but only found her notebook. Before he realised what was happening the ground opened up and a swirl of black mist filled his eyes. When he awakened he was in a strange place that seemed familiar but unfamiliar at the same time.
Steve's Perks[]
Babysitter | While you have a reputation for being self-centred, you risk it all to help those in need.
When you unhook a Survivor, the Aura of the Killer is revealed to you for 8 seconds and the unhooked Survivor benefits from the following effects for 4/6/8 seconds:
| |
---|---|---|
Camaraderie | Life has taught you the importance of friendship which has given you strength.
If you are hooked and enter the Struggle Phase, Camaraderie activates:
| |
Second Wind | You have learnt to avoid awkward situations with parents. Part of you still thinks your best option is to run away and hope things will take care of themselves. When you heal another Survivor for the equivalent of 1 Health State, Second Wind activates:
"Yeah, that's a no." — Steve Harrington |
Steve's Cosmetic Piece[]
