Dead by Daylight can be rather generous with its in-game currency known as "Bloodpoints". However, there are certain methods that players need to use in order to peak levels of Bloodpoint capacity after every trial. This guide will show various ways on how to farm Bloodpoints.
Asymmetrical horror games have been sprouting up across the gaming industry throughout the last few years. Its popularity gained legs after Dead by Daylight was released in 2016. Through regular updates, this game has not only expanded its roster of characters but, also its overall lore. As of 2020, it's almost an entirely new game with much more content to chew on along with expansive backgrounds to explore with each of the characters. Originally, Dead by Daylight was about a group of random strangers teaming up trying to escape an alternate realm that has been forged by an underlying figure known as "The Entity". Players take control of the survivors as they're thrown into a 'cat and mouse' situation across various realms that each has a designated killer hunting them down. All the survivors need to scramble around the map, find supplies and repair a number of generators that'll open up electric gates for their escape. Each survivor has unique perks and abilities that give them each a personality and toolset to work with.
The monster in every realm is tasked with snagging up each survivor and thrown them on meat hooks for sacrifice for 'The Entity'. With the game's current build, there are now both original and famous horror icons that players can use. Based on the performance on either side, players will be rewarded an assorted amount of Bloodpoints that can be utilized to unlock perks, customize their character, and purchase upgrades. There is a myriad of ways to collect Bloodpoints and sometimes it can be a struggle to accumulate required amounts in order to obtain desired slots in a character's build. Sometimes, it can take quite a few rounds in order to finally break through a Prestige level that enables the purchase of upper Tiered perks. Luckily, there are ways to go around this grind and farm Bloodpoints to both save time and ease the burden of slogging through more trials than needed.
How To Farm Bloodpoints In Dead by Daylight
Between every trial, there's a pre-round segment in which players can utilize their collected Bloodpoints and find new upgrades in a hub called the "Bloodweb". This is where new perks and other customizations can be found and unlocked. Thus, players can also use this screen to create specific builds for their characters and increase the chances of gaining more Bloodpoints. Between the survivor and the killer, farming Bloodpoints require different chores.
Survivor Bloodpoint Farming Tactics
- Help other survivors.
- Unlock the gate.
- Cleanse totems.
- Trying not to get killed throughout the match.
- Repair generators.
- Search chests.
- Keep track of the objectives.
- Fighting the killer.
- Escaping traps from the killer.
- Hiding successfully when the killer is near.
- Completing 'good' and 'great' skill checks.
This is just a general list of what to do to gain maximum Bloodpoints while playing as a survivor. Now, in order to bump up more XP, it's recommended to always play as 'David King', as often as possible. This is because he comes with a perk called 'We're Gonna Live'. This perk is stackable and it gives a 25% increase with collecting Bloodpoints. This perk can be used up to 4 times in any given match and it becomes 'teachable' once he reaches to level 30. Therefore, this can double the intake of Bloodpoints after every match and players can move onto other characters afterward if they wish. Taking on the killer regularly throughout the match is a recommended tactic for increasing Bloodpoints.
Since this can be a bit dangerous and tricky, try using the 'Self Care' perk with Claudette Morel. This enables players to heal without using a med-kit and can increase the chances of not dying during the match. Also, this perk can be teachable to other survivors once she reaches level 40. A couple of other universal perks that players could use for other survivors are 'Sprint Burst' and 'Borrowed Time'. This helps with getting around the map with haste and increases the chance of helping other survivors that are stuck on meat hooks. Lastly, just stay proactive and be a good team player. Always help out other survivors, keep repairing generators, keep cleansing totems, and starting opening chest as soon as the match starts. Also, keep in mind that "fortune favors the bold" and frequent interactions with the killer always gives a big boost with Bloodpoint accumulation.
Killer Bloodpoint Farming Tactics
- Stop survivors during mid-animation.
- Chase and capture survivors.
- Throw survivors on hooks.
- Regularly use the killer's powers.
- Wound survivors.
- Destroy objects.
- Finish a match, even after some survivors quit.
The trick with being a killer is not to go on a rampage. Instead, after hooking a survivor, just let them escape and try to hook them up again. Doing this a number of times will increase Bloodpoints considerably. Thus, also take a little time and keep destroying pallets and generators while roaming the map. Leatherface, in particular, comes with a rather handy perk called 'Barbeque and Chilli'. This gives players a rather hefty boost in Bloodpoints the first time he hooks his victims. This perk also becomes teachable once he reaches level 35, so players will be free to use this perk with other killers. Thus, using killers' powers will increase points within the 'Deviousness' category if used effectively. So, once a player has a particular killer as their main (and knows how to use all their powers) equip the standard 'Distressing' perk. Once players have become comfortable with a killer and know all their powers, using this perk will be no sweat.
