IconHelp note.png About the descriptions used on the Dead by Daylight Wiki

Differences to in-game descriptions:
It is this Wiki's philosophy that any information it provides to the knowledge-seeking Players of Dead by Daylight is easily understandable and accurate.
It is for this reason that the Wiki Guardians take the liberty to rephrase and/or reword descriptions, and bring them in line with how the Unlockables actually work.
The main motivation here are descriptions that are ambiguous and require additional explanations, or whose effects work differently depending on the modifier used.

Mouse-over Support for slightly / moderately / considerably / tremendously (where still applicable):

  • Desktop View: Hover your mouse cursor over the modifier words (or highlight them) to have a tool-tip reveal their values.
  • Mobile View: The values are displayed in small print after the modifier words.



Overview

Items can be obtained through the Bloodweb IconHelp bloodweb.png or by finding them in Chests IconHelp chests.png 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 IconHelp DBDlogo.png:

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

Add-ons

Main Article: Add-ons IconHelp addons.png

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 IconHelp chests.png

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[1]).

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

Keeping Items

If a Survivor manages to escape with an Item, it will be kept in their inventory, replenished of charges, 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 IconPerks aceInTheHole.png.

Losing Items

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