Haunted by Daylight 2024

THE VOID RETURNS The connection between Realms has never been stronger. The Void is calling, with new secrets to uncover...

Haunted by Daylight is a recurring Halloween Event in Dead by Daylight, celebrating Halloween.

Haunted by Daylight 2024 is the third iteration of the Event and started on 17 October 2024.
It will end on 7 November 2024.

Event Gameplay

The main gameplay loop is similar to that of the previous year, with some modifications to the Void mechanics.

Void Portals

A rift stabilises at the start of the Trial, creating a Portal to the Void.

• Additional Portals can be opened by finding Unstable Rifts located in the environment and feeding them one's collected Void Energy.
• Up to 4 Portals can exist.
• Unlike the previous year, one Portal (the original one) stays open for the entire duration of the Trial and only closes as the Trial is coming to an end.
  • The other Portals are on a timer of 120 seconds, after which they close and need to be reopened.

Void Energy

Survivors and Killers can hold up to 100 Void Energy and can collect it from various sources:

• Collecting a free-floating Void Orb: 3
• Repairing Generators (per second): 2, limited to a maximum of 250
• Hooking Survivors: 30, limited to a maximum of 90
• Destroying Pumpkins: 12
• Blinding the Killer: up to 10 (siphoned from the Killer)
• Stunning the Killer: up to 20 (siphoned from the Killer)
• Downing a Survivor: up to 30 (siphoned from the Survivor)

Void Realm

• Changed from the previous year:
  • Spawns Lockers and Pallets that Survivors can use.
  • Killers can use their Power.
  • When a Survivor enters the Void, the Killer is notified with an audio cue and sees a special icon next to the Survivor's name on the HUD.
• Unchanged from the previous year:
  • Killers benefit from the Undetectable Status Effect while inside the Void.
  • Survivors suffer from the Broken and Exhausted Status Effects while inside the Void.
  • Hooking a Survivor in the Void teleports them to a random Hook outside of it.

Void Well

In the centre of the Void lies the Void Well.
Transferring one's Void Energy into the Void Well rewards the Player with something special:

• Survivors can retrieve a Void Crystal that releases a cloud of thick smoke when shattered.
• Killers receive a Captured Haunt that can be unleashed upon unwitting Survivors.

Void Crystal

The Void Crystal is a new Limited Item that acts as a smoke-bomb when used, creating a thick cloud of turquoise smoke upon detonation that greatly obscures one's vision and hides Scratch Marks.

Captured Haunt

The Captured Haunt is a deadly projectile power and behaves like one of the Flying Entities conjured by The Lich (though it cannot travel as far).

The Killer can launch 2 Captured Haunts in succession (with a cool-down of 15 seconds in-between) by pressing the Special Event Ability button, before needing to acquire new ones from the Void Well.
