HIGHLIGHTS
- In Dead by Daylight, the killer known only as The Unknown possesses special powers that impact survivors who are already weak.
- A spooky dynamic is created by the killer’s voice changing depending on whether they are speaking with healthy or weak survivors.
- Even if there is unrealized gaming potential, The Unknown is still a fascinating addition to the game.
The Unknown, the new murderer in Dead by Daylight, interacts with weakened survivors in several intriguing and unusual ways. Although there isn’t much information available about the appropriately named The Unknown, gamers have already begun to learn a lot about it in the most recent PTB.
The newest murderer in Dead by Daylight is genuinely a mystery. This monster resembles a humanoid and appears to be attempting to mimic human behavior. The monster can produce husks of itself and switch locations with them, although its species has not been identified. Additionally, the unknown employs a lethal poison that can result in a weakened state. If a blast area touches weak survivors in this condition, they will lose their health; however, if they confront the unknown, they can regain their health. But maybe more intriguing than anything, thorough gamers have also learned something new about this new status impact.
A video clip showing how The Unknown speaks differently to a weak character than to a healthy survivor was posted on Reddit by user ToranMramor9. An ordinary character in the video might hear the voice lines of the killer murmuring. Nevertheless, the statements become loud and distinct while speaking with a weak survivor. This might suggest that a victim of the ailment might be more incapacitated and vulnerable to Dead by Daylight’s The Unknown. The unknown may exploit survivors if they are not cautious, given the unsettling theory that the killer can deceive them as the match continues.
Voice and Communication in Dead by Daylight
Unfortunately, the game features voice lines for only a few characters. To a certain extent, it would have been fantastic if The Unknown could have mimicked the survivors’ speech patterns in order to cause confusion throughout the battle and introduce a distinct flavor that the game’s murderers haven’t yet used. Dead by Daylight does evoke a sense of loneliness and hopelessness because its only means of contact are emotes. It does, though, seem like a lost chance to capitalize on this minute-by-minute detail.
Nevertheless, The Unknown is among Behaviour’s most intriguing original killers in a long time. Many fans anticipate that a number of new features, functionalities, and game modes will help create a new experience for players as Dead by Daylight’s staff works to update the game. Anyhow, that’s the purpose of PTBs. It’s an opportunity for the development team to experiment, balance new features, and add fresh gameplay elements. Although intended to correspond with Alan Wake’s entrance, January 2024’s Lights Out mode appears to have been influenced by The Dredge’s abilities. Therefore, it’s possible that these minute details will come out in later releases.
