Killer Instinct

Killer Instinct is a Game Mechanic in Dead by Daylight that was introduced with Patch 2.4.0 alongside The Legion .

Overview

Killer Instinct is a mechanic that for its entire duration will reveal the location of Survivors via a pulsating orange spiderweb overlay, that will follow the Survivor if they are moving.
Additionally, the Survivor's outline is highlighted in orange.

Unlike Aura-reading, this effect is not blocked by Lockers or any Perks that reveal one's Aura.
