John mentioned a few weeks back about Behaviour Digital’s Dead By Daylight teasing their Halloween Event. Now, “The Hallowed Blight” as it’s called, is up and running! The event will last until November 2nd, and features a cool story all its own.
Told via the cutscenes below, as well as in journal entries that pop up when the game starts, it seems our killers have had experiments conducted on them, injected with toxins from a plant found in the world of the Entity.
Of course, you probably want to know what goodies there are to get, and what you need to do to get them. You unlock skins by getting what’s called Putrid Serum from those mysterious plants, which are used to fill vials. These vials are then used to spend on new cosmetics introduced in the event.
Killers, on the other hand, will have what are called Cankerous Hooks that they need to place survivors on in order to get their serum. After hooking a survivor one time, even if it’s the survivor’s first time being hooked, you will gain a sixth (1/6) of a full vial.
The outfits will be available in the store forever, but the free currency can only be earned during the event.
There are sixty vials in all to collect: thirty for the killers, and thirty for the survivors. And yes, for those wondering, licensed killers such as Michael Myers (you did see the new film, right?) will have their own special cosmetics.
So, with the event ending next week, you’d better get going!
