After teasing fans over the weekend with a new Chapter, Behaviour Interactive has unveiled “Tools of Torment”, the latest update for Dead by Daylight. Arriving on March 7, players can step into the tactical boots of The Skull Merchant, a brutal new Killer, or test the bond between new Survivors Thalita and Renato Lyra, siblings fighting for their lives in The Fog.
The Skull Merchant, known within the business world as Adriana Imai, is a wealthy high-powered tech executive, splitting her life between aggressively buying and absorbing smaller companies as her public persona, and quenching her bloodlust in the guise of her alter ego. The Skull Merchant’s unique ability is Eyes in the Sky, which involves the use of four Drones to track Survivors. Survivors will need to strategize on ways to avoid and disable these hovering horrors before their maker is alerted.
As for the Survivors, Brazilian sister and brother duo Thalita and Renato Lyra emphasize working collaboratively. These qualities are best reflected in the unique Teamwork Perks, which benefit those who choose to work together.
Along with a new Killer and Survivor(s), “Tools of Torment” also brings an update to the Shelter Woods Map which will now include The Skull Merchant’s Hunting Camp. Formed from multiple connected shipping containers dropped into an area, The Hunting Camp is described as a true representation of both sides of Adriana Imai’s world. The upper container is the Killer’s executive suite: clean, luxurious, and equipped with only premium commodities. Beneath it lies the Grim Workshop. Bathed in oil and blood, this is where The Skull Merchant tinkers to build her tools, and where she also houses many of her gruesome trophies.
Expect “Tools of Torment” to arrive for Dead by Daylight on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch.
Keep your eyes to the sky.
