We will be looking at the most popular killer perks used in this game of Dead By daylight, ranking the most popular top 10 perks.
Nonetheless, let the fog reveal the best top 10 most popular killer perks:
10. Hex: No One Escapes Death
Hex: No One Escaped Death ability works once the Exit Gates are powered; if there is still a Dull Totem remaining on the Map, Hex: No One Escapes Death activates and lights it: Increases your movement speed by 2/3/4 %. Survivors suffer from a permanent Exposed Status Effect. Hex: No One Escapes Death remains inactive if no Dull Totems are available. Hex: No One Escapes Death reveals the Aura of its Hex Totem to all Survivors within 4 metres and gradually expands that range to 24 metres over 30 seconds. The Hex effects persist until its Hex Totem is cleansed.
Advantages of using No One Escapes Death:
- Ability to one-shot survivors within a short time frame during the end game, allowing you to have your last chance to hook and sacrifice the survivors.
Possible Disadvantages:
- Easily removable from the map by the survivors, as the aura is slowly revealed over time.

9. Bamboozle
The perk Bamboozle works so that Performing a Vault action is 5/10/15 % faster and calls upon The Entity to block that Vault location for Survivors for 8/12/16 seconds. Only one Vault location may be blocked this way at any given time.
Advantages of using Bamboozle:
- This allows the killer to vault much faster, catching up on the survivor much more efficiently and quickly while blocking the window, which cancels the survivor's choice of looping.
Possible Disadvantages:
- The survivor would gain possibly more distance, especially where they flashlight you whilst doing the animation, which would slow down the chasing.
