What Characters from The Walking Dead Are Coming to Dead by Daylight?
Close Rick Grimes (Survivor) Michonne (Survivor) Daryl Dixon (as a Legendary Outfit for Rick, functioning as a separate character in-game)Each character has specific perks. Playing as Rick, players will be able to replace a Broken Pallet with a Fragile Pallet when searching a chest, which gives them better chances to slow down the killer. Moreover, after players unhook a survivor, they can use an ability that makes all nearby injured and dying Dead by Daylight survivors completely silent and hides their blood pools. Finally, Rick’s last perk enables players to hide grunts of pain, scratch marks, and blood pools if they are injured and another survivor has stunned or blinded the killer. Michonne’s perks focus more on teamwork and survival, allowing her to do things like potentially recovering instantly while downed if she’s been healing others, surprise-stunning the killer by fast vaulting near them after spending time in their terror radius, or boosting nearby injured teammates by giving them endurance.
In addition to all this, Behaviour is also adding a special map tile to the Garden of Joy map, featuring iconic Walking Dead locations, like the prison and the “Don’t Open, Dead Inside” hospital doors. As players await the full release on July 29, they have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming Dead by Daylight: The Walking Dead chapter.
