Luck

Luck is a Game Mechanic featured in Dead by Daylight .

Overview

Luck affects a Survivor's chances of unhooking themselves from a Hook and freeing themselves from a Bear Trap .
It does not affect the Rarity of an Item found in a Chest .

Some Offerings can increase the Luck of Survivors, either for oneself or for all of them. The same applies for Up the Ante .

Proficiency Indicator

If an action is affected by Luck, the Chance Proficiency Indicator will be shown in the HUD:

	The Chance Proficiency Indicator works alongside the Luck mechanic and indicates whether the action the Player is currently performing has a higher or lower chance at succeeding. Only applies to actions that have the possibility to fail, such as escaping from Bear Traps and self-unhooking from a Hook .

Perks

	Deliverance	After performing a Safe Hook Rescue on another Survivor, Deliverance activates: Your Self-Unhook attempts will succeed 100 % of the time. Deliverance causes the Broken Status Effect for 100/80/60 seconds after unhooking yourself. "I was raised by a strict man who taught me how to make the best of a bad situation." — Adam Francis
	Slippery Meat	You have developed an efficient way to get off Hooks. Grants 3 additional Self-Unhook attempts. Your Self-Unhook chance is increased by 2/3/4 %.
	Up the Ante	All will be well in the end; you just know it. Your confidence strengthens the feeling of hope for those around you. For each Survivor still in the Trial, Up the Ante gains 1 Token. Each Token applies a stack-able 1/2/3 % bonus to the Luck of all Survivors, up to a maximum of 3/6/9 %. "What can I say? I'm just a very lucky guy... I'm sure some of it will rub off on you." — Ace Visconti
	Monstrous Shrine	Your fervent care of the Hooks found in the Basement has aroused The Entity's interest. The Basement Hooks possess the following benefits: Hook Progression is accelerated by 3/6/9 %. Self-Unhook difficulty is increased by 5/10/15 % . Self-Unhook penalty is increased by 3/6/9 %. "Then you will know that there is no escape. When hanging in the depths, you face the dark one."

• Slightly = 1 %
• Moderately = 2 %
• Considerably = 3 %

Trivia

• Using 4 instances each of Up the Ante and Vigo's Jar of Salty Lips , Survivors can stack Luck to 48 % (4*9 % + 4*3 %), which is then added to the base chance of Trap escapes (16.67 %) and self-unhook attempts (4 %).
• Luck does not affect the Rarity of Items found in Chests .
