Arcade Modes for Dead by Daylight

All Alternate game modes provide double the amount of bloodpoints than normal.


Point of perspective: Survivors vision is restricted to a first person view while killer's get an over-the-shoulder 3rd person view.


Night Cycle: Randomly Darkness will engulf the area and view is limited to 24 meters and everyone is afflicted with the blindness status effect of 30 seconds


Rebellion!: The object of this mode is for the Survivors to kill the Killer! Killers have 7 health points, all tied to a HEX totem in the trail. How to kill the killer is to bless all 7 totems in the trial in order to summon the Observer's Sacrificial Blade. Survivors can utilize this blade to sneak behind the Killer and prompt a one time chance (per survivor) within 1 meter of the killer's back to perform a Mori to the killer. Killers must hook their prey quickly in order to find the silent boons that spell their doom. If the survivor holding the Sacrificial Blade fails the difficult skill check required then the blade will be randomly relocated and that Survivor will be afflicted with the Exposed status effect for the rest of the trial. Rules:


  • 1. Survivors start with a random item in hand and cannot bring items into the Trial.
  • 2. Any BOON related perks cannot be brought to the Trial.
  • 3. HEX perks for the killer will still be applied to a random totem however once it is blessed, then the perk is nullified.
  • 4. All survivors that have made it to at least the second hook state can be Mori'd unless they have failed their attempt on the Killer.
  • 3. Sudden Death: If there is only one survivor left in the trial, the hum of hatch will be audible but also another will can be heard too. If in range, this other hum will beckon them to the Sacrificial Knife, allowing the opportunity from an attack behind the killer, capable of Mori-ing the killer. If the skill check is failed, it will result in instant death for the survivor.


Slaughterfest: The rules of this mode are that there are 2 killers & 8 survivors. Survivors must complete 8 generators to escape while evading a pair of different killers. Killers can compete for their prey and/or co-operate and share the spoils of carnage. here are the differing rules to this mode:

  • 1. Survivors need to repair 8 generators but their repair speed is sped up by 12%
  • 2. Survivors now have 4 hook stages from 3
  • 3. Survivors see the aura of one of the killers at the start of the match for 15 seconds (regardless if the killer has the Undetectable statues effect).
  • 4. Killers are prohibited from using any perks that block generators.
  • 5. Cleansing or blessing HEX totems is 16% faster.
  • 6. Exit Gates now deplete by 2% per second if they are not fully open.

A new variation of the MacMillon estate is provided for this game mode, The Gutted Fields. This map shares similarities with the Suffocation Pit but has been expanded from 160 8x8 square tiles (10,240 meters squared) to 240 8x8 square titles (15,360 meters squared). For Reference here is an example of the Suffocation pit:
