Skills are a special type of Load-Out, which were first implemented in Patch 8.1.0.
There are currently 26 Skills featured in Dead by Daylight.
Overview[]
Skills are only available while playing the 2v8 Game Mode and replace all other Load-Out options.
Skills cannot be chosen freely, rather there are 4 different Classes per side that Players can select for their chosen Character, with each Class providing a predetermined set consisting of 3 Skills.
The only exception is the Innate Skill of a Killer, which remains unchanged across all four Classes.
Classes[]
Both Survivor and Killer Players can select freely from one of 4 Classes for their chosen Character, which will determine their skillset for the 2v8 Trial.
There is a limit of 4 Players per Class for Survivors and just 1 Player per Class for Killers, however.
Selecting a Class provides a unique set of 3 Skills, with the only exception being the Innate Skill of a Killer, as its name suggests.
Skills[]
Skills work like a mix of Perks and Add-ons
, combining multiple effects to provide Survivors and Killers with special abilities and additionally enhancing the Powers of the latter.
Skill Slots[]
Players are always equipped with 3 Skills, which have their predetermined Slots:
- Survivor Skills:
- Slot 1: Reveal Skill
- Slot 2: Team Skill
- Slot 3: Unlockable Skill
- Killer Skills:
- Slot 1: Innate Skill
- Slot 2: Team Skill
- Slot 3: Reveal Skill
