Dead by Daylight - Upcoming Changes to Clown, Orange Glyphs & Some Perks (2025)

FAQs

What does the clowns bottles do in DBD? ›

The Afterpiece Tonic

Begin a Trial armed with 5 bottles of the Clown's poisonous concoctions. The purple Afterpiece Tonic can be thrown to disorient, direct, and hinder Survivors, whose coughing fits make them easier to track.

Overview. Glyphs are special Props that are only generated when at least one Player in the Trial has an active Glyph Challenge selected from a Tome. Glyph Challenges have been available since Tome 6 and come in the following colour-variations (in order of addition to Dead by Daylight): Red Glyph.

After being unhooked or unhooking yourself, Decisive Strike activates for the next 40/50/60 seconds: When grabbed or picked up by the Killer, succeed a Skill Check to stab the Killer and escape from their grasp.

Interacting with the Glyph's aura places the White Glyph (a fragile mirror) in the Survivor's hand, causing them to drop any item they may have been holding.

Unlike some Killers, The Clown begins with some great base kit perks, like Bamboozle and Pop Goes the Weasel, which help him slow down generators and speed up chases. This build uses these perks, among others, to help The Clown in and out of chases until the endgame.

Once their strength was at its lowest, he would carefully examine their fingers, searching for the prettiest, running them over his tongue to find the tastiest. Once he found the best, he would cut it from their hand and proudly add it to his collection, disposing of the rest of the body as pointless waste.

Hex: Crowd Control. A Hex that ensures those lesser than you are properly herded. Whenever a Survivor performs a Rush Vault action, Hex: Crowd Control triggers its effect: Blocks the vaulted Window to every Survivor for the next 40/50/60 seconds.

Some of the most important benefits of glyphs include the following: Accuracy. Glyphs can represent characters with a high degree of precision. Speed.

Every present Survivor has an equal chance of becoming the initial Obsession. In regular ranked Trials with 4 Survivors, this creates a default chance of 25 % (1 in 4), which can be modified for an individual Survivor by certain Perks and Add-ons.

How to outrun the killer? ›

Always try to lose the killer in areas that contain pallets or other obstacles, that prevent you from running in a linear path. You can loop the killer (run around objects) which makes it very difficult for them to take a shot at you.

The first thing a Killer must do in order to commune with a Purple Glyph, is to hook a Survivor. Once a Survivor is hooked, the Killer will see a purple glyph spawning.

Idle Crows

Idle Crows (originally known as "Stillness Crows") are special Crows that will spawn above a Survivor's head, flying in circles, if that Survivor is staying in an area for too long without performing any interactions such as repairing a Generator.

A Hex that affects the Survivors' skills at repairing Generators. A total of 2/3/4 Survivors are affected by Hex: Ruin: Causes Great Repair Skill Checks to no longer grant any bonus Progression. Causes Good Repair Skill Checks to regress the Generator by -5 % of its total Progression.

Clown's bottles slow you down by 15% and he is already 15% faster than you, so try to avoid them when possible. The yellow bottles give you a 10% haste, so take advantage of that to get distance as well. When you get hit by both bottles, it just cancels each other out.

Any Survivors that are within the Killer's Terror Radius while another Survivor is put into the Dying State with a Basic Attack will yell and reveal their current location to the Killer for 4/5/6 seconds. The cries of the unfaithful make your heart leap.

He just permanently has the Exhausted status effect on him at all times. Yeah, he huffs gas to get high all day. God bless him. He's also just really happy tho.
