Items

		These tools, but poor replicas, shall suffice. I have taken every advantage I could take to survive in this forsaken nightmare.
		~ Mysterious Note

Items are Unlockables Survivors in Dead by Daylight can use to aid their escape from a Trial.

Overview

Items can be obtained through the Bloodweb or by finding them in Chests during a Trial.

All Items have a set amount of Charges that are usually depleted at a modifiable rate of 1 Charge per second. Once an Item's Charges have been used up, the Item will become unusable for the remainder of the Trial. There are currently a total of 28 (+1) Items featured in Dead by Daylight :

2	Common Items
3	Uncommon Items
6	Rare Items
5	Very Rare Items
2	Ultra Rare Items
9	Event Items
1	Unused Item
3	Limited Items

Add-ons

Main Article: Add-ons

Add-ons allow Survivors to change various properties of an Item. Up to 2 Add-ons may be equipped with an Item.

Chest Loot

For additional information, see Chests

The rarity of an Item affects how often it can be found in a Chest. Players will generally find more Common and Uncommon Items than their rarer counterparts. It is possible to get Ultra Rare Items from a Chest, but the chance is very slim (around 2%, as determined by Community testing).

One can increase the chances of finding rarer Items by using Plunderer's Instinct .

Keeping Items

If a Survivor manages to escape with an Item, it will be kept in their inventory and auto-equipped for the next Trial. However, any equipped Add-ons will always be used up, unless the Survivor is using Ace in the Hole .

Losing Items

If a Survivor dies during a Trial without the White Ward Offering, their Item and any attached Add-ons will be lost.
