Pallets

View source
Tooltip icon

Pallets are interactive obstacles featured in Dead by Daylight IconHelp DBDlogo.png.


Usage

States

Pallets have two states: upright, and pulled down.

At the start of a Trial, all Pallets are in the upright position, meaning that both the Survivors and the Killer can pass through the area next to them without needing to interact with them.
Killers are unable to interact with Pallets in this state, but Survivors have the option to pull it down and create an obstacle for the Killer that can only be vaulted by the Survivors, which is similar to vaulting a Window IconHelp window.png.
The sole exception to this is The Legion IconHelpLoading legion.png, who can vault a dropped Pallet while using Feral Frenzy.

As of Patch 3.4.0, Survivors can reset dropped Pallets to the upright position by using Any Means Necessary IconPerks anyMeansNecessary.png.

Breaking

The Killer cannot vault Pallets, but can choose to break and thus permanently destroy it by interacting with it (default: SPACE, R1, or RB), an action that takes 2.6 seconds.

Breaking a Pallet displays a short animation in which the Killer will destroy it either with their foot, their hand, or their Weapon.
This will momentarily obstruct their vision as the camera will tilt downwards until the Pallet is destroyed, giving the Survivor an opportunity to hide out of sight.
It also gives the Survivor the opportunity to easily blind the Killer with a Flashlight IconItems flashlight.png, as they are locked into the animation and cannot turn their head to try and evade the blind.

The Hillbilly IconHelpLoading hillbilly.png and The Cannibal IconHelpLoading cannibal.png, both wielding Chainsaws, can alternatively choose to destroy a Pallet with them.
The Demogorgon IconHelpLoading demogorgon.png, The Oni IconHelpLoading oni.png, The Blight IconHelpLoading blight.png, and The Nemesis IconHelpLoading nemesis.pngmay destroy a Pallet by using their Special Attacks.
The Blight can also use the Compound Thirty-Three FulliconAddon compoundThirtyThree.png Add-on by slamming a Pallet to destroy it quick.
The Legion can destroy a Pallet by vaulting it during Feral Frenzy, given that the Iridescent Button FulliconAddon iridescentButton.png Add-on is equipped.

Blocking

Blocked upright Pallets cannot be pulled down by Survivors.
Upright Pallets can be blocked while using the Perk Hex: Blood Favour IconPerks hexBloodFavour.png.
The Blight can also use the Summoning Stone FulliconAddon summoningStone.png Add-on by hitting a Survivor with Lethal Rush to block a Pallet within close range for a few seconds.

Pallet Stun

If a Killer is inside the area of a Pallet and a Survivor pulls it down, they will be pushed back and get stunned for 2 seconds, obstructing their vision as their camera tilts.
This will also award the Survivor a hefty amount of Bloodpoints in the Boldness category.

A Killer carrying a Survivor can be stunned by Pallets. If stunned while holding a Survivor, the Killer will drop the Survivor into the Injured State IconHelp injured.png, giving them time to escape.
This only happens when the Killer is able to move as the animation to pick up a Survivor cannot be cancelled.

Pallet Grab

A Survivor in the Injured State IconHelp injured.png can be grabbed by the Killer mid-vault and hoisted directly onto their shoulder by tapping the attack button (default: M1, R2, or RT), putting them instantly into the Dying State IconHelp dying.png upon a drop.

Locations

The location of a Pallet or a Pallet Cluster varies with the procedural Map generation and usually differs between two iterations of the same Map.

Spawn Routine

Pallets will spawn at least either 14, 16, 18 or 20 metres away from each other in predetermined spawn spots, with some exceptions on maps such as Midwich Elementary School.
