The All Things Wicked Chapter for Dead by Daylight introduces The Unknown, an urban legend Killer who thrives on instilling fear in Survivors. Equipped with the deadly Ultra Venom X power, The Unknown can weaken and injure Survivors with explosive energy orbs, making them a formidable force in the fog.
Mastering The Unknown requires strategic map awareness and precise execution. To aid players in sharpening their skills with this challenging Killer, a selection of perks and add-ons can be utilized in Dead by Daylight. These builds encompass both universal Killer perks and exclusive options from the All Things Wicked DLC.
The Unknown: Optimal Non-Teachable Build (2024)
Designed for players without access to other DLC Killers in Dead by Daylight, this build emphasizes hindering Survivor healing and enhancing stealth tactics. Sloppy Butcher slows down healing processes, while generator kicking reduces Terror Radius for sneak attacks. Bitter Murmur and Hex: No One Escapes Death complement each other by revealing Survivor auras and applying Exposed status in the endgame.
- Unforeseen (The Unknown): Transfer your Terror Radius to a damaged generator for 30 seconds, remaining Undetectable. This ability has a 30-second cooldown.
- Sloppy Butcher (General Perk): Inflict Mangled and Hemorrhage effects on basic attacks, impeding healing by 25% and regressing recovery progress.
- Bitter Murmur (General Perk): Expose Survivor auras within 16 meters of completed generators for 5 seconds. Reveals all auras for 10 seconds after the final generator is powered.
- Hex: No One Escapes Death (General Perk): Afflict Survivors with Exposed status after all generators are completed. Gain a 4% Haste effect until the Hex Totem is cleansed.
The Unknown: Superior Build (2024)
Considered the pinnacle of Killer perks for The Unknown, this build features Discordance, Corrupt Intervention, Pop Goes the Weasel, and Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance. Discordance aids in tracking active generators, while the other perks impede generator progress effectively.
- Corrupt Intervention (The Plague): Block the 3 farthest generators for 120 seconds or until a Survivor is downed at the trial's outset.
- Discordance (The Legion): Highlight generators worked on by multiple Survivors within 128 meters.
- Pop Goes the Weasel (The Clown): Remove 30% progress from a damaged generator for 45 seconds after hooking a Survivor.
