Halloween has come to Dead by Daylight, and so begins the frightening and festive Haunted by Daylight Event. Experience tense gameplay challenges, unsettling atmosphere, chilling cosmetics to unlock, a brand-new Event Tome, and much more.
AN EERIE ATMOSPHERE
From October 13th, 11:00 AM ET – November 3rd, 11:00 AM ET, the Entity’s Realm will be transformed into a nightmarish Halloween playground.
In select Realms, the sky has undergone an unsettling transformation, tearing apart to reveal a mysterious rift. In addition Generators, Hooks, the Exit Gates, and the Basement have been updated with an eerie aesthetic, setting an appropriately ominous mood.
The Bloodweb will also see the return of the Will O' Wisp Flashlight, the All Hallows' Eve Lunchbox Med-Kit, the Blight Serum, and a new Haunted by Daylight Bloodpoint Offering.
PUMPKIN SEASON
This year, Pumpkins are making a triumphant return -- at least, until they are mercilessly stomped into orange paste. Once again, destroying a Pumpkin will lead to one of three outcomes: the Haste Status Effect (move faster), the Hindered Status Effect (move slower), or nothing at all. Destroying Pumpkins may also grant you Void Energy, a new gameplay mechanic introduced in Haunted by Daylight.
Speaking of which...
SEEK VOID ENERGY
For the duration of the Event, players must complete specific objectives to collect Void Energy. Once sufficient Void Energy has been collected, seek out an Unstable Rift to deposit your haul and earn up to 12 Halloween Cosmetics for Killer and Survivor.
What Are Void Energy and Unstable Rifts?
A strange and inexplicable substance from a Realm beyond, Void Energy must be collected and deposited in an Unstable Rift. Players can carry up to 15 Void Energy at a time. Depositing a total of 30 in a single match will net you one of 12 rewards.
How do I collect Void Energy?
Survivors collect Void Energy by repairing Halloween Generators, while Killers collect it by hooking Survivors on Halloween Hooks. It’s possible for both sides to steal Void Energy from one another, either by downing a Survivor or stunning the Killer.
Survivor
- Repairing Halloween Generators
- Stunning a Killer carrying Void Energy
- Destroying a Pumpkin
Killer
- Hooking Survivors on Halloween Hooks
- Downing a Survivor carrying Void Energy
- Destroying a Pumpkin
Where do I find Unstable Rifts?
The moment a trial begins, up to 3 Unstable Rifts will spawn across the Map. Seek them out quickly, as they will eventually disappear if left alone – but don’t worry, they will respawn shortly.
Once you find an Unstable Rift, you can deposit your Void Energy, earning bonus Bloodpoints and gaining a temporary Haste speed boost in the process. After doing so, the Rift will disappear, respawning at a new location shortly thereafter.
HALLOWEEN REWARDS
It wouldn’t be Halloween without a few goodies, and Haunted by Daylight has plenty of proverbial candy for your eager hands. By depositing a total of 30 Void Energy in a trial and completing the match, players will receive one of 12 Halloween Cosmetic rewards (6 for Killer, 6 for Survivor).
Unlock unique glow-in-the-dark Bone Shirts for Survivors, skeletal designs inspired by each character's personalities, interests, and backstories.
