Licensed Chapter Idea: The Alien Franchise
Hello hello, I seen this done countless times, but I’m going to throw my own hat into the ring because I too would also really like to see an Alien chapter in the game as well. We all know the reasons why The Xenomorph and Ellen Ripley should be in the game so let just move on to my concepts and idea.
For the map, I chose Hadley’s Hope, the terraforming, research and mining colony built on Archeon (LV-426). I do think the Nostromo would also make a good map, but I felt it might end up feeling too much like a crowded map and that would not be fun. But hey, I would be happy with The Nostromo or Hadley’s Hope as a map.

The Xenomorph is one of the deadliest known alien species and considered a perfect killing machine. Vile and predatory to any other species in the galaxy, their sole purpose is to populate their own species by killing others. A perfect predator and with no compassion for any other life other it’s own species, this creature was the perfect pick for The Entity to unleash.
Weapon: Bladed Tail.
The Xenomorph’s tail is made of serrated blade-like bone that ends in a huge blade-like appendage. The Xenomorph will use this blade to make sure it’s victim is down for good and will roar after hitting a survivor.
Power: Perfect Organism.
Special Attack: Alien Rush
The Xenomorph takes a crouching stance, before charging forward in a frenzied attack.
When hitting a Healthy Survivor, the survivor will simply be Injured by its claws.
When hitting a survivor that Injured or Exposed, the Xenomorph will impale the survivor with its tail and instantly pick up the survivor.
Special Ability: Acidic Blood
The Xenomorph can interact with vault locations. The Xenomorph will puncture its hand with his sharp tail on to bleeds it acidic blood on the surfaces. The acidic blood will last 22 seconds and if a survivor attempts to interact with an acidic vault, they will be injured and drop a Health Stage.
Passive Ability: Ovomorph.
The Xenomorph’s presence spawns 4 randomly placed eggs along the map. The eggs are deadly traps that can unleash a facehuggers to nearby a survivor.
What can trigger an egg to open;
Screaming
running/sprinting
Exploding generators
Being hit by the killer
Using a Flash Grenade/Blast Mine near it
Failing a skill check to burn the egg
Eggs will hatch up and spring out a facehugger to attack a nearby survivor. Survivor will collapse on the ground and will be considered “down” for 5 seconds. The survivor will be unable to move or crawl. After a moment, The face hugger will fall off and the survivor will be able to stand again.
It takes 18 minutes for the Chestburster to appear and Kill the survivor. These 18 minutes are divided into four tiers, each tier will be signals by a loud grunt of pain and clutching their chest:
Tier 1: will have 18 minutes
Tier 2: will have 12 minutes and will suffer from a 2% Hindered Status
Tier 3: will have 6 minutes and will suffer from the Broken status
Tier 4: Chestburst will come out and survivor will be instantly sacrificed
Survivors can destroy the eggs by burning them using a limited item: Lighter. Can only be used once and will need a skill check to successfully burn the egg. Only four lighters spawn per trial with the Xenomorph.
Successfully burning an egg will trigger killer instinct and alert the Xenomorph.
Perks: Quarantine Breached, Blackout, and Scourge Hook: Host
Quarantine Breached: Your prey’s carelessness will be their undoing. Whenever a survivor Blesses or Cleanses a totem, it will create a loud noise notification and the killer will gain a 2/3.5/5% movement speed for 25 seconds. When the end game collapse begins, all totems will be blocked by the Entity.
“Listen to me, if we break quarantine we could all die” -Ellen Ripley
Blackout: Your otherworldly presence ruins your prey’s chances to survive. When you hit a survivor, all survivors outside your terror radius will be inflicted with the Blindness, Oblivious and Exhausted Status for 14/22/30 seconds.
"I Can't Lie To You About Your Chances, But...You Have My Sympathies." -Ash
Scourge Hook: Host: A potential host to help grow the hive. At the start of the Trial, 4 random Hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks. The Auras of Scourge Hooks are revealed to you in white.

“Game over man, game over!” -Private Hudson
Mori Killing: The Xenomorph will stab it’s tail into the survivor, slowly lifting them up and face the survivor to them. The Xenomorph will open its mouth, revealing its second mouth. The Survivor will stare into its second mouth and scream before getting a Headbite through their face. The Xenomorph will then roar and toss the survivor’s body asides
Survivor: Ellen Ripley
Role: Lieutenant First Class
Gender: female
Nationality/Ethnicity: Caucasian
Appearance:
blob:https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/db68e677-fbbf-488b-8e9f-6ec96c4dd5afBackstory: the year was 2122 when warrant officer Ellen Ripley was assigned to the USCSS Nostromo for a simple cargo mission, unbeknownst that the Weyland-Yutani Corporation had a different agenda in mind. Ripley soon found her and her crew facing off against a monstrous alien known as the Xenomorph. Ripley’s life would never be the same again as her crew was killed by the alien and she became the sole survivor after finally killing the creature. Years of hyper sleep, no one believing her story, being demoted and then promoted, Ripley found herself facing off against a whole swarm of these creatures on a terraforming and mining colony called Hadley’s Hope. Ripley again was able to defeat both the creatures and their queen, allowing her and the rest of the survivors make their way back to Earth. But as she slept in her sleep pod, she was plagued with dreams of the aliens. They were accompanied by a harsh fog that slowly engulfed her dreams, the echos of the Xenomorph screams bellowing around her. Ripley found herself forced back into the waking world, but she wasn’t in her sleep pod or even in the ship anymore. The other survivors were not with her anymore and it seemed she perhaps had landed on a nightmarish world…
Perks: Under Fire, Signing Off, and Burn Out
Under Fire: Even in extreme danger, you keep a level head and act quickly in order to escape. Activates after 3/2/1 generators have been complete. When working on a generator and you get picked up by the killer, it will cause the generator to explode instantly. Normal regression will occur, but the explosion will stun the killer, causing them to drop the survivor, allowing them to escape. Has a cools down of 100 seconds.
“You started this. Show me everything. I can handle myself.” -Ellen Ripley
Signing Off: You don’t take risks and find ways to keep yourself safe. You are able to interact with completed generators, carefully taking parts that are not needed. Do this while empty handed and After 20/15/10 seconds, you instantly craft a Smoke Bomb. Smoke Bombs are left behind when escaping a trial. Smoke Bombs can be dropped or thrown, creating a field of dark mist that lasts 6 seconds within a Radius of 10 meters. This will hide any Scratch Marks or Pools of Bloods within the radius. Aura reading for both the killer and survivors are repressed while in the smoke cloud. Smoke Bombs has one charge.
“This Is Ripley, Last Survivor Of The Nostromo...Signing Off.” -Ellen Ripley
Burn Out: Sometime’s what goes around comes around. When the killer snuffs out a boon totem, it will instantly break the 2 closest hooks for 30/35/40 seconds.
“I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.” -Ellen Ripley
Alright here is my concepts for The Xenomorph and Ellen Ripley! (I had problems figuring out a name for Ellen’s third perk so any new suggestions would be appreciated!) what do you guys think of the Xenomorph’s power? It’s perks? Ellen’s perks? Please let me know!
