Moonlight
Moonlight was a recurring ambient feature in every trial of Dead by Daylight
and still is almost the sole source of light, with other sources of light including lamps, fire pits and fully repaired Generators
.
Overview
The brightness of the Moonlight could be tweaked via the Moon Bouquet Offerings
, which were disabled from spawning in the Bloodweb
with Patch 1.8.2 and retired as of Patch 2.3.0.

Stacking Conditions
Moonlight Offerings were not stack-able with only very specific combinations stack. Those included:
| Combination | Brightness |
|---|---|
| 2x Crescent Moon Bouquet | New Moon Bouquet |
| 2x Quarter Moon Bouquet | Full Moon Bouquet |
| Crescent Moon Bouquet + Quarter Moon Bouquet | Default Moonlight Brightness |
| Full Moon Bouquet + Crescent Moon Bouquet | Quarter Moon Bouquet |
| New Moon Bouquet + Quarter Moon Bouquet | Crescent Moon Bouquet |
Exception
Offerings which would cancel each other out always go in order of Rarity: the higher trumps the lower one.
Thus a New Moon Bouquet would always trump a Full Moon Bouquet:
| Combination | Brightness |
|---|---|
| New Moon Bouquet + Full Moon Bouquet | New Moon Bouquet |
Change Log
Patch 1.8.2
- Removed the possibility for all Moonlight Offerings to spawn in the Bloodweb.
The usage of these Offerings could have a lot of impact on the lighting of each map and the developers needed more control over the exact lighting they decide to set in each map in order to ensure a good experience for everyone.
The Moonlight Offerings were making this harder to accomplish. - They can still be used in Kill Your Friends.
Patch 2.3.0
- Retired all Moonlight Offerings.
- Can no longer be used in Kill Your Friends.
Version 1.0
With the Wiki receiving official icons directly from the Developers, it was discovered that the Moon Bouquets featured a different icon design before the Game's release, in which the moon medallion was attached to a full bouquet of flowers rather than just a single rose as with the current design:

Trivia
- The Entity
's recreation of the Moon (Luna) is not perfect. Dead by Daylight's Moon is tilted to the left, and it appears approximately 2 times bigger in the sky than The Moon appears from Earth.
- This implies that Dead by Daylight's Moon may be 2 times closer to the Entity's Realm than the Moon is from Earth (384,400 km), meaning they might be 192,200 km apart from each other.
