Overview

William "Bill" Overbeck is an old Soldier, accustomed to dealing with critical situations.

His personal Perks, Template:IconLink, Template:IconLink & Template:IconLink, make him more powerful in dire moments.

He is tough as nails and knows how to survive just about anything. He’ll do whatever it takes to help others live to see another day and he’s not afraid to take one for the team.

Difficulty rating: Hard
(based on only using his Unique Perks)


Background

BO charPreview

It took two tours in Vietnam, a handful of medals, a knee full of shrapnel, and an honourable discharge to get William "Bill" Overbeck to stop fighting and try to live a peaceful life. He hated it. After decades spent drifting aimlessly through dead end jobs, Bill went in for a routine surgery and woke up to find the world he knew was gone. A plague was turning normal people into mindless killing machines. Naturally, the first thing he did was fight his way home and put on his uniform. Making his way through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests, he found other Survivors, and together they fled from the infected hordes. In the end, Bill sacrificed himself to ensure their safety. His body was never found. Bill was left for dead. No one knows that he still has the only thing he ever wanted: an enemy to fight.

Trivia

For additional and more detailed information about the Character of William "Bill" Overbeck from the Left 4 Dead franchise, please refer to the Left 4 Dead Wiki.
  • Although Bill does not appear as a playable survivor in the console version of the game, his perks are available to all survivors on the console versions, with all references to him in the icon artwork and description quotes removed.
    • For instance, the Unbreakable perk on the console versions features a man's face in a similar pose to that of Bill on the PC version. To remove any references to Bill, the man on the icon has no facial hair or hat on the console versions.
  • Although Bill was voiced by Jim French in the Left 4 Dead games, he did not return to reprise the role in Dead by Daylight, nor was archive footage of his lines resued for the game. Instead, new lines were recorded for Bill by Ricardo Gomez.
  • Bill is the third licensed Character to be introduced to Template:IconLink.
    • Other licensed characters are The Template:IconLink(Michael Myers), Laurie Strode, The Template:IconLink (Leatherface), The Template:IconLink (Freddy Krueger), Quentin Smith, The Template:IconLink (Amanda Young), and David Tapp.
    • He is the second licensed Survivor to be introduced after Laurie Strode.
  • In addition to Bill as a playable survivor, the PC version of Dead by Daylight also features alternate clothes for other survivors that are based on several characters from the Left 4 Dead games.

    • Meg has clothes based on Zoey.
