Killer: The Mastermind
- Main Article: Albert Wesker
The Mastermind's Info
The Killer is Albert Wesker – The Mastermind–. A visionary as brilliant as he is ruthless, Albert Wesker’s strategic mind is unrivalled. While some plans require intellect, others call for brute force. Rush forward to seize Survivors in your grasp and give them the gift of Uroboros – a necessary step on the path to evolution.
The Mastermind's Power
"The Mastermind can barrel forwards, infecting Survivors with the Uroboros Virus or leaping over obstacles."
SPECIAL ABILITY: VIRULENT BOUND
The Mastermind starts the Trial with 2 Tokens.
SPECIAL ATTACK: BOUND ATTACK
Press and hold the Power button to charge Virulent Bound, reducing his Movement speed to 3.68 m/s while he prepares to strike.
Press the Attack button to initiate a Bound Attack, consuming -1 Token, or release the Power button to cancel it.
Press the Attack button again during the Chain Bound Window of 2 seconds to initiate a second, longer Bound Attack, if there is still a Token available:
- Increases his Movement speed to 14 m/s during a Bound Attack.
- The first Bound lasts for 0.5 seconds.
- The second Bound lasts for 1 second.
SPECIAL INTERACTION: SURVIVOR COLLISION
Colliding with a Survivor at any point during a Bound Attack has multiple possible effects and interactions, which depend on the Survivor's current states regarding their health, infection, and interaction:
- If the Survivor is interacting with a Prop or another Survivor, or is protected from entering the Dying State
by a third-party effect, The Mastermind attacks them with a quick swipe of his tentacles:
- Uninfected Survivors become infected with Uroboros and receive damage.
- Infected Survivors receive damage.
- Critically Infected Survivors receive double damage and are downed, unless they are protected.
- If the Survivor is not interacting with a Prop or another Survivor, The Mastermind grabs them with his tentacles and continues travelling the remaining distance of his Bound Attack.
- If he collides with an obstacle before ending the Bound Attack, either of the following applies:
- Uninfected Survivors become infected with Uroboros and receive damage.
- Infected Survivors receive damage, after which injured Survivors are released and dying Survivors are hoisted onto his shoulder.
- Critically Infected Survivors receive double damage and are hoisted onto his shoulder.
- If he does not collide with an obstacle before ending the Bound Attack, he throws the Survivor in a straight line, after which either of the following applies:
- Uninfected Survivors become infected with Uroboros and receive damage, if they collide with an obstacle during the throw, after which they are released.
- Infected Survivors receive damage, if they collide with an obstacle during the throw, after which injured Survivors are released and dying Survivors are downed.
- Critically Infected Survivors receive double damage, if they collide with an obstacle during the throw, after which they are downed.
- If he collides with an obstacle before ending the Bound Attack, either of the following applies:
- In any case, the Exit Gates
are blocked to the Survivor for the duration of the Bound Attack.
- This effect lingers for 5 seconds after they are released.
SPECIAL INTERACTION: VIRULENT VAULT
Colliding with a dropped Pallet
or a Window
during a Bound Attack causes The Mastermind to automatically vault over it.
SPECIAL AFFLICTION: UROBOROS INFECTION
Uroboros grows in strength over time, which is indicated with an Infection Meter on the Survivor Portraits in the HUD:
- Both Uninfected Survivors and Infected Survivors gain +20 Charges upon colliding with The Mastermind during a Bound Attack.
- Infected Survivors passively gain +0.8 c/s at all times, unless they are hooked or downed.
Being hooked resets the Infection Meter to 1 Charge.
Once the Infection Meter is full at 100 Charges, Infected Survivors become Critically Infected:
- Causes them to suffer from a permanent -4 % Hindered
Status Effect.
SPECIAL ITEM: FIRST AID SPRAY
Survivors can cure themselves or other Survivors from Uroboros by locating a Supply Case
and searching it for a First Aid Spray
:
- A total of 6 Supply Cases spawn in random locations in the environment.
- The Auras of Supply Cases are revealed to Infected Survivors at all times.
- Each Supply Case contains 1 First Aid Spray with 2 uses.
- Using the First Aid Spray triggers Killer Instinct for 4 seconds.

Trivia
- Similarly to its predecessor, CHAPTER 20: Resident Evil™, CHAPTER 25: Resident Evil™: PROJECT W was announced several months before its intended release.
- For a few weeks after the initial release of CHAPTER 20: Resident Evil™, the player would hear a deep voice say "Dead by Daylight" at the title screen upon logging in, which is an homage to many Resident Evil games doing the same.
This was reinstated with the release of CHAPTER 25: Resident Evil™: PROJECT W. - This is the first licensed chapter to feature two playable Survivors of the same gender.
Character Voices
- As a first in the history of Dead by Daylight, all Characters added with this Chapter feature numerous voice-lines, including the Survivors, in itself a first since the introduction of Ash Williams
.
- Additionally, the Developers revisited the Survivors introduced with CHAPTER 20: Resident Evil™, including the Legendary Characters, and gave them voice-lines too.
