Patch

Patch 9.4.2 • Last verified 2026-02-27

Quick Wins

  • Use chase perks to shorten loops, not to force tunnel-vision commits.
  • Pair chase value with one macro pressure slot so leads translate.
  • Break off low-value chases before objective control collapses.

Common Throws

  • Four-slot chase builds with no map control layer.
  • Overcommitting one survivor through strong safe tiles.
  • Ignoring hook conversion after first fast down.

Hillbilly-Specific Notes

  • Killer identity: Dead by Daylight Hillbilly builds that reward chainsaw consistency and ruthless tempo.
  • Why this intent fits Hillbilly: best hillbilly chase build should reinforce Hillbilly's strongest repeatable pressure pattern.
  • Common trap: overcommitting long chases and donating generator tempo.
  • Fast adaptation line: if your opener fails, pivot into haste + hindered value first, then rebuild tempo.

Core 4 Perks

Extended Picks

  • #1

    Permanently increases vaulting speed. After vaulting a window, blocks that window for Survivors for a short time and can refresh or transfer the block by vaulting windows.

  • #2

    After a Survivor becomes injured, Unbound activates for a short time and grants a brief Haste effect after vaulting a window. The Haste effect cannot stack with itself.

  • #3

    Reveals the auras of nearby pallets and windows. When a Survivor drops a pallet, briefly reveals that Survivor's aura.

  • #4

    At the start of the Trial, briefly reveals all Survivors' auras and increases the duration of other Survivor aura reveals.

  • #5

    Increases vaulting speed while vaulting windows. Pallet stuns recover more slowly and blinds last longer.

  • #6

    As generators are completed, gains tokens that increase action speeds for key interactions such as picking up Survivors, breaking, damaging generators, and vaulting windows.

  • #7

    After a Survivor drops a pallet and moves away shortly after, applies Hindered to them briefly.

  • #8

    Gains Tokens from first-time hooks. After all generators are completed, blocks all windows and upright pallets for a duration that scales with Tokens.

  • #9

    After the Exit Gates are powered, lights a remaining Dull Totem to grant Haste and apply Exposed to all Survivors. Once revealed, the hex totem's aura becomes visible to nearby Survivors with the reveal range expanding over time.

  • #10

    Increases the speed of breaking breakable walls and pallets, and damaging generators.

  • #11

    Reduces the duration of pallet stuns. Does not apply when stunned while carrying a Survivor.

  • #12

    After breaking enough dropped pallets, instantly breaks the next pallet used to stun the Killer. Deactivates after use.
