Overview

In the creepy and suspenseful universe of Dead by Daylight, the group of survivors is an extremely important element. Each survivor game is an ordinary person in a dire situation of escaping from a ruthless killer. This diverse group represents all walks of life, united by the harsh reality in which they find themselves.
These survivors are not superheroes. These are ordinary people who find extraordinary courage and resilience in the face of danger. Their goal is simple but terrifying: survive the merciless killer, fix the generators, and escape through the gate.
Survivors are not homogenous. They each have their own unique set of perks that give them a slight advantage in specific situations. Some can be excellent at repairing generators, others can excel at stealth, and others can recover quickly from wounds.
Trust, cooperation, and resourcefulness are the pillars on which survivors build. Because standing alone against all odds in Dead by Daylight can have dire consequences. Each survivor is a testament to the human spirit and strength, proving that even in the darkest hours, hope falters and forces us to meet the challenge of survival.
In the haunted atmosphere of the Dead by Daylight universe, these survivors are fighting more than just a gruesome killer.

It shows the power of unity, the essence of survival and the inexhaustible human spirit.

History

In the Dead by Daylight universe, the Survivor faction's story is deeply intertwined with fear, courage, and resilience. These ordinary citizens come from all walks of life, each with their own special difficulties, and are transported tremblingly into the realm of Being.
Many of the survivors lived normal, even mundane lives before they were abducted. Others have experienced violence, hardship or trauma. Confronting their fears in this terrifying area strengthened their spirits even more. For example, Meg Thomas, a skilled athlete, uses her stamina and agility to survive the killers. Crippled by uncertainty, Dwight Fairfield found value in himself, using his previous management skills to help the group work together.
Survivor Nea Karlsson, a rebellious graffiti artist, uses her stealth skills to stay hidden from the killers. These are just a few examples of how each survivor uses their unique personality and abilities to escape the relentless pursuit of the killers.
However, there are survivors who have learned to use the Entity's dark power to gain abilities. Laurie Strode, traumatized by her encounters with notorious killer Michael Myers, delivers the "decisive blow" that allows her to escape the killer's clutches. And then there's Bill Overbeck, a hardened war veteran who sacrificed his life so his teammates could escape.
Over time, they gradually came to terms with their fate and used these harrowing trials to develop resilience and the will to survive. Their story is constantly shaped and influenced by both their individual pasts and their current, dire situation.
Ironically, each survivor's story may have begun in fear and despair, but their encounters with the Being strengthen their strength and determination. Thus, the story of the Survivor faction in the Dead by Daylight universe is a testament to the indomitable human spirit. The horrors of this new world only fuel their determination to live another day, creating an ever-changing tapestry of strength and resilience.
