Dead By Daylight: 5 Reasons The Legion Is The Best Killer (& 5 Reasons They’re Not)

This review will focus primarily on the Deathslinger and his perks, because while new survivors are a welcome addition, they are all identical in gameplay thanks to teachable perks. In creating the newest killer, developer Behavior Interactive went about as far in the opposite direction from their creation, Kazan Yamaoka, generally referred to as the Oni. Instead of a rampaging hulk that can one-shot an entire team in a blaze of pain and speed, the Deathslinger is a slower, methodical killer that uses his modified rifle to take aim, fire, and impale a survivor on a chain before pulling them in and striking with a bayo

The Legion is rather small when compared to other killers which is great for messing with survivors. Instead of a lumbering oaf like the Hillbilly charging down hallways which makes it easy for everyone to see where you are, you’ll be darting between shadows and hiding behind various objects to spring an amb

The Archives are broken up into three distinct categories; Rift, Tome, and Shrine. They each offer something unique to help players understand the survivors’ backstories, perks, and even unlock some cosmetics. There’s a branching algorithm of various challenges that players must complete in order to achieve higher status and unlock character origin-story elements. Some challenges can be rolled-over across different trails and give players multiple chances to complete. However, there are higher Tier challenges that only give players one chance to accomplish. The following is a list of the different layers of the Archive and how it functi

Players aware of Legion’s strengths will know that sticking together is a death sentence and will make a habit of staying spread apart. Survivors will tackle generators solo, heal their own wounds, and only unhook someone when Legion is far a

Gearhead is further limited because it does not activate from special attacks, such as either Leatherface or Hillbilly’s chainsaw, or hatchets thrown by the Huntress, and is all but counterproductive outside of certain M1 killers. Even in select builds, the conditions required to gain any information are simply too demanding compared to something like Discordance, which offers what could be argued as superior information with no input needed from the kil

Deathslinger’s The Redeemer is a powerful long-ranged harpoon that allows the killer to launch a spear attached to a chain in an enemy’s body. Once launched the Deathslinger can reel the survivor in and dish out a powerful blow downing the player. This makes the Deathslinger one of the few ranged killers within the cast. Making avoiding the character a near impossibil

Without a doubt, the “Chains of Hate” DLC brings a welcome addition to Dead by Daylight with the introduction of the Deathslinger. This is not to say that the killer will be a top-tier choice for wiping out entire teams of survivors with ease, but rather that the design is unique, interesting, and most importantly, accessible for most play

To become a successful Deathslinger player must practice and develop a solid aim. This will mitigate any unnecessary reload time and allow for some easy and solid kills and downs. So stay diligent and work on your aim to become a truly terrifying killer in dead by daylight Springtrap vent Banner by Dayli

Some of the perks available for Dead by Daylight can be fairly self-explanatory. However, there are a few that don’t quite have the required abilities to increase the chances of surviving the Entity’s minions. All the perks come with three Tiers and naturally the higher the Tier, the more effective they are. There are a total of 68 perks for the survivors and starting at levels; 5, 10, and 15 will unlock their new designated slots. Of course, it’s important to note that the active unlocking of perks is a random occurrence at every Bloodweb session. So, it’s recommended to keep grinding to stack up on all the desired perks and keep gaining XP. This list will outline which perks are the most useful and how to which level they will be availa

Compared to the last killer release, the Oni, there is a much larger skill-ceiling needed to properly maneuver the rampaging killer and navigate obstacles on a map to use Demon Dash and Strike effectively. The simplicity of the Deathslinger’s design allows players of all ranks to be effective killers. Combined with a beautiful new map in the Dead Dawg Saloon and a new survivor, whose perks will be covered elsewhere, Chains of Hate is a must-have DLC for all play

Feral Frenzy is a tremendous perk that gives Legion increased movement speed at the cost of being able to down survivors. Instead Legion can inflict Deep Wound which will restart the Feral Frenzy buff and keep their movement speed

The universe of Silent Hill created in the late 90s has had an undeniable impact on the world of video games and horror media that lingers to this day. P.T. from 2014, made in collaboration between Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, was a “playable teaser” for a new entry in the series called Silent Hills that was cancelled when Kojima parted ways with Konami. Rumors currently abound that a new Silent Hill may be in development for PlayStation 5 , but Dead by Daylight is reaching into the series’ past rather than its future with content based on Silent Hill 1 , 2 , and
