Dead By Daylight is crushing it right now. Its long awaited collaboration with Five Nights at Freddy earned its highest concurrent player count ever. Now another banger of a crossover is coming later this month, as characters from The Walking Dead will enter The Fog to battle the Entity.
Rick, Michonne, and Daryl Dixon are all on board. Rick and Michonne are individual characters, while Daryl will be a legendary skin for Rick. Norman Reedus and Andrew Lincoln will provide voiceover work for their characters.
The new chapter is available right now on the PTB, and will be playable for everyone July 29. From Behaviour Interactive here are the new survivor perks:
Rick Grimes perks
Rick brings 3 unique Perks to the table, which will open the door to explore a bold and teamwork-focused new playstyle.
Apocalyptic Ingenuity draws on Rick’s experience scrounging for supplies in a world torn asunder. Rummage through Chests to gain a unique Ability that allows you to construct a Fragile Pallet from the remnants of a Broken Pallet.
Teamwork: Toughen Up is most effectively used alongside a teammate, so keep that in mind while equipping this one in your loadout. When another nearby Survivor stuns or blinds the Killer while you’re injured, your Grunts of Pain, Scratch Marks, and Pools of Blood will be reduced.
Note that this Perk will synergize quite effectively with one of Michonne’s Perks – more on that below.
With a steady hand, unwavering conviction, and the steely determination of a true survivor, Michonne has been an indelible presence in The Walking Dead since her mysterious debut in Season 2. Since then, she has evolved into one of the series’ most iconic and fan-favorite characters, stylishly dispatching walkers and human threats alike without sacrificing her better angels.
Even without her signature Katana by her side, she remains a fierce protector who won’t hesitate to risk life and limb for the survival of her team.
Conviction is aptly named, revolving around Michonne’s willingness to push herself to the brink and back. Heal a Survivor to gain a life-saving Ability, allowing you to instantly recover from the Downed State, provided you’ve built up a decent chunk of recovery time.
The catch is, you’ll become Broken and go back into the Dying State after a brief duration – but this crucial window is invaluable to get healed up and turn the tables back in your favor.
Last Stand comes into effect after spending time in the Killer’s Terror Radius; after all, Michonne was first introduced while travelling alongside a pair of pet Walkers. Once enough time has been allotted, your next fast vault will stun the Killer, granting you a crucial moment to escape. Note that after a successful use, this Perk will be disabled for the remainder of the Trial.
Teamwork: Throw Down shares a name with one of Rick’s Perks, synergizing quite effectively alongside it. When you Pallet stun or blind the Killer, injured Survivors in your vicinity gain Endurance, briefly glimpsing the Killer’s Aura at the same time.
Michonne is currently not available on the PTB due to some technical issues being worked on. All three of her perks are available for testiing, however. Behaviour plans to have all those problems worked out by the July 29 official chapter release.
