When the Hillbilly and his chainsaw roared in the dead of night, horror fans understood why he came with Dead By Daylight in its release. Among the Killer Trio, the Hillbilly represented the "non-supernatural" side of horror media. Non-supernatural doesn't mean weak, though. In fact, the Hillybilly and his chainsaw garnered a reputation of being one of the most ruthless Killers in the g

Each killer has their own unique main weapon and The Huntress wields a devastating axe. This axe features a strong and sturdy wooden handle and a pickaxe portion on the other side making it not only look lethal but actually being lethal to surviv

Streamers filling their hours of content with comedy is nothing new, as that is often the best way to fill the time when committing to a full day's work dedicated to one game. So, making jokes and gags out of Dead by Daylight achievements by Daylight is nothing new for the medium, even if it does undercut the fear factor of the horror icon and asymmetric gameplay. Then there are the stars from Dead by Daylight 's streaming community that get special attention from developer Behavior Interactive specifica

While the hunting hatchets are incredibly useful, they take considerable time to master, mostly down to the thrown weapon arc. By holding down a button, you can windup the throw for more devastating damage to survivors. Be sure to practice throwing these whenever the opportunity presents itself in order to get to grips with their cont

While there are several options for a new Killer, there are even more iconic Survivors in the series. Luckily, the Stranger Things chapter broke away from the usual plan of bringing one Killer and Survivor for a new chapter, adding both Steve and Nancy along with the Demogorgon. The Resident Evil chapter could easily bring two Survivors as well, and it would be odd if the decision were made to do otherwise. In addition, the Silent Hill chapter introduced Legendary cosmetics, which means that two Survivors could be f

Another major gameplay aspect to Dead by Daylight is the add-ons. While both survivors and killers use add-ons, The Huntress, specifically, has some great ones that help increase the hatchet and axe power. For example, the yellowed cloth add-on makes the hatchet fly even faster when thr

This year marks a landmark anniversary for Behavior Interactive's Dead by Daylight , as the game now passes the five year mark since it's initial release in 2016. With these five years of the game's history to look on now, fans can see how the developer has continued to evolve Dead by Daylight with new features and killers in order to keep it a ready staple as a competitive title both for players and view

Today's Dead by Daylight introduces new skins and characters so frequently that it's completely unrecognizable from the original version that launched with only three killers to choose from. Of course, that hasn't kept the game safe from all of the problems that come with widespread indie fame, such griefers, trolls, and players looking to completely break the game with overpowered killer builds. Behavior Interactive has been quick to balance the game in the past, but the huge selection of killers that can be broken has made keeping the game consistent diffic

The Fog Whisperers in Dead by Daylight 's streaming community are some of the top streamers who either exclusively play the game for their viewers, or regularly revisit it. These players are often vetted and sometimes controversy has meant that the list of active Fog Whisperers has been fluid in the past. Still, for anyone looking to get into the game, a great place to start is through the Fog Whisperer program and watching any of these streamers to get a feel for what to expect from Dead by Daylight 's syste

One of the most unique aspects of Dead by Daylight is that you can equip different items to enhance your killer. These are unlocked through the bloodweb and offer a nice boost to your chosen killer's current skills and weapon. Since a big part of The Nurse's style is quietly and swiftly moving across the map, using enhancements to minimize noise and cooldown time is criti

In terms of Add-Ons, the Hillbilly would probably benefit the most from Add-Ons that help with the Chainsaw's impact-canceling caveat. In turn, beginners would want to use Steel Toe Boots and Low Kickback Chains to reduce the recovery time from hitting objects as much as possi

While the list of killers available in Dead by Daylight has grown to 24 individuals, it's still exciting to see what Behavior Interactive has planned for the next original monster or crossover event. Fans have continued to ask for Ridley Scott's Alien and Jason Vorhees of Friday the 13th fame to eventually make an appearance, but there are tons of other horror icons to pick from. For now, fans can just wait and see how Dead by Daylight continues to grow and improve over the next five years of its l

Players who want to really get into the Hillbilly character might appreciate his deeper backstory. Aside from his basic lore , "A Man Named Boy" within Tome V - Unleashed reveals more details about the Killer. Essentially, this tells gamers that the Hillbilly, originally Max Thompson Jr., was born hideously disfigured - much to the horror of his parents. Due to shame, the parents isolated Junior in a room and fed him through a wall. In turn, any horror fan knows it makes sense why Junior took his time to slaughter his parents when he esca
