Every Killer In Dead By Daylight, Ranked Tier List

has entertained fans for over eight years by introducing new Survivors, maps, and Killers to keep the gameplay loop fresh and exciting. Those eight years have given Behavior Interactive time to create a huge roster of Killers, ranging from the original three to crossovers with some of the greatest horror franchises of the modern era.

Excluding the Trapper, Wraith, Hillbilly, Nurse, and Huntress, all extra Killers must be purchased through their associated DLC, called a Chapter in-game. This makes it hard to know which Killers are worth the extra cost and which ones you can gloss over. A Killer's strength is best gauged by their unique ability and the skills they can later pass on to other Killers.

While all four Legion members are playable in Dead by Daylight, a recent theory suggests that only one of them is actually human.

The Trapper is one of the three original Killers in and a staple of the game. His signature move involves placing bear traps around the map, snaring Survivors, and leaving them imprisoned — or at least wounded — until the Trapper can collect them. He's a poster boy for the game, but his long history as a base game Killer means that players have long since adapted to his kit. The other 35 Killers have overtaken the Trapper in nearly every way.

Don't feel hopeless if you are a player who only wants to use base game killers; while the Trapper has been overshadowed by others over the years, if you place your Bear Traps well and play with your perks, you can come out with a win in many a match.
