Survivors

Main article: Survivors


Legendary Characters

Legendary Characters are Cosmetic Sets of Legendary Rarity, which transform the original Character into a different one, altering their entire Character model.

Legendary Characters are essentially the Developers' way of adding new Characters to Dead by Daylight (often from the same franchise as existing ones) without the need of a separate DLC.

Legendary Characters are often legends of the horror genre and typically originate from other iconic horror media, such as video games, movies, series, etc.

Legendary Characters generally come with their own unique voice-lines, with some minor exceptions in the case of some early additions.

Mythological Characters

Mythological Characters are Cosmetic Sets of Ultra Rare Rarity.

Mythological Characters work the same as Legendary Characters, but generally originate in folklore, sagas, and mythology.

Newer Mythological Characters generally come with their own unique voice-lines and themes, whereas older ones just altered the Character model.
Some Characters also unlock a special Theme Music.

Costume Characters

Costume Characters are Cosmetic Sets of Ultra Rare, Very Rare, or Rare Rarity.

They are distinct from other, more generic Cosmetic Sets and Outfits (especially in the case of more common Rarities), by being inspired from legends of the horror genre or mythology and folklore, akin to Legendary and Mythological Characters, but do so essentially by providing the Character with a costume of those legends, rather than altering their Character model, as Legendary and Mythological Characters would do, hence the name "Costume Character".

Ultra Rare Costumes, compared to just Very Rare or Rare ones, generally come with certain extras, such as new voice-lines, special sound effects, or special visual effects, justifying their higher price and rarity.
Some Characters also unlock a special Theme Music.

Lore Characters

Main article: Lore Characters

Lore Characters are non-playable Characters that only exists in Dead by Daylight's Lore.
They can be mentioned in the Lore of Survivors or Killers, the descriptions and/or flavour texts of various Unlockables, and the Lore accompanying Tomes.


Unused Characters

Unused Characters are known playable Characters that only existed in developmental stages of Dead by Daylight and are currently not featured in the Game aside from at most some assets.

Unused Killers

Unused Alpha Survivors

These are the Survivors featured in original promotional material and Artwork for Dead by Daylight prior to its release in June 2016, as well as in the original Trailer.
It should be noted that they are ALPHA versions of the same four Survivors that released with the original Game, Dwight, Meg, Claudette, and Jake.
This is evidenced by the voice actors and early concept art:

Original Trailer

In order of appearance:

  • ALPHA Meg Thomas
  • ALPHA Jake Park
  • ALPHA Claudette Morel
  • ALPHA Dwight Fairfield (only in promotional Artwork)

It is worthy to note here that during ALPHA stages of Dead by Daylight, Meg and Claudette had switched ethnicities (and voice-actresses) compared to the BETA and subsequent release versions.
This can be seen in the original Trailer and in a screenshot in Claudette's Gallery.


Trivia

Character Order

  • On the Wiki, the playable Characters are always ordered in order of release.
  • In-game, the playable Characters are also ordered in order of release, but are additionally divided into 2 groups:
    • All free (DLC) Characters in order of release are followed by all paid DLC Characters in order of release.
    • The divider between the two groups are the Characters of CHAPTER 5: A Lullaby for the Dark, which was the last free DLC on the PC build.
    • This is why, when the Public Test Build of a new Chapter is released, its Characters are placed in the last spot of the first group of free Characters, following The HuntressIconHelpLoading huntress and David KingSurvivorDavid respectively, as the new Characters are considered free Characters on the PTB so that Players can test them.
    • With the Chapter's release, they are then put into the last spot of the second group of paid DLC Characters.

Character Info

  • Patch 1.5.0 added a new feature called Character Info, which can be brought up with F1 (PC) or D-Pad Right (PS4 and Xbox 1), giving an overview of a Character, including their Lore and unlocked Teachable Perks.
