The Kill Switch is a recent feature added to Dead by Daylight. It gives us the ability to temporarily switch off any items/offerings/maps/cosmetics/characters that are causing game breaking issues in the game, to ensure continued enjoyment. When the Kill Switch is used, the item/offering/cosmetic/character/map will not be able to be selected. Maps are automatically removed from rotation, and they will remain unable to be selected in Custom Games.
On this page, you can find information on what is currently disabled through the Kill Switch, in game, along with the reason why and when you can expect them to return. We also list current Known Issues here, but they remain enabled.
