Here is everything you should know about the new killer coming to Dead By Daylight called The Artist. Find out his Perks and abilities here!

It’s time for another Dead by Daylight chapter, and this time there’s a new survivor and a new killer to look forward to. Although the official release isn’t yet out, if you’re a PC player, you can check out the Player Test Build to see what’s new in the Portrait of a Murder chapter. There’s also a map named Eyrie of Crows to look forward to, in addition to the two new characters. You can also check out Dead by Daylight Survivor Tier list and Back 4 Blood Character Tier List.

One of the biggest draws of a new chapter is a selection of perks, and The Artist, who is the new killer and Jonah Vasquez, the survivor, will each come with three of them. You don’t have to play as these characters to enjoy their benefits in Dead by Daylight, so you’ll eventually be able to unlock them for everyone, which is probably the biggest draw. Let’s take a look at the three new killer perks that are being introduced in this new chapter, which have the ability to shake up the game’s meta.

Dead By Daylight New Perks

Grim Embrace

Unlocking this perk makes it available in the Bloodweb of all Killers Your act of servitude to The Entity has not gone unnoticed. Each time a Survivor is hooked for the first time, you gain a token. Upon reaching 4 tokens Grim Embrace activates.

The Entity blocks all generators for 20 seconds. The Obsession’s aura is revealed to you for 4 seconds.

‘Are we nothing but prisoners to our sorrow?”—Carmina Mora

Scourge Hook: Pain

Unlocking this perk makes it available in the Bloodweb of all Killers. Overwhelming pain reverberates outwards into chaos.

At the start of the trial, up to 4 random hooks are changed into scourge hooks. You see their auras in white.

Any time a Survivor is hooked on a scourge hook, the generator with the most progress explodes, instantly losing 95`, progress and will start to regress. Survivors repairing the generator will scream, revealing their location.

Hex: Pentimento

You reveal the true power of the Totems, hidden within their remains.

Players see the aura of destroyed Totems. You can perform a ritual on a destroyed Totem to resurrect it as a Rekindled Totem. The more Rekindled Totems that exist, the greater their effects.
