According to some Dead by Daylight fans, playing Killer is the best part of the game. While you spook and slaughter the helpless Survivors, increase the difficulty of your game by trying to complete these Killer achievements. Only when you get them all will you be the ultimate Dead by Daylight slayer.

Challenge achievements

To start, these milestones are all about getting better at the game (they’re just specific to Killer gameplay, unlike the other general “progress achievements”). Whether you rise in rank or do load-out challenges, you have to get pretty good to have a chance at them.

  • Expert Killer: Reach Grade Silver I playing KillerMaster Killer: Reach Grade Gold I playing KillerLegendary Killer: Reach Grade Iridescent I playing KillerApt Killer: Start a trial with a full Load-Out as a Killer (2 Add-ons and 1 Offering)Perfect Killing: With any Killer, complete a trial with at least 5,000 Bloodpoints in each Score CategoryTools of the Trade: Achieve a merciless victory 5 times in a public match with only 3 universal perks equipped

Hook and sacrifice achievements

Using hooks to sacrifice souls to the ever-looming Entity is the whole point of the game, so help feed the beast with these goals.

  • Pre-emptive Strike: Hook one Survivor before the first Generator is completedBroken Bodies: Hook 10 Survivors while all others are injuredEnd of Days: Hook 15 Survivors during the EndgameHoliday Get-Together: Have at least 3 Survivors hooked in the Basement in a single trialTexas BBQ: Hook 25 Survivors in the BasementA Bite for The Entity: Sacrifice a total of 100 SurvivorsA Feast for The Entity: Sacrifice a total of 1,000 SurvivorsThe Grand Sacrifice: Sacrifice all Survivors in a single trialDevoted Gatekeeping: Sacrifice all Survivors 25 times before the last Generator was repairedGame Over: Sacrifice or kill 30 Survivors after the last Generator has been poweredSerial Killer: Sacrifice 30 Obsessions

Survivor-hunting achievements

Getting looped by Survivors can be pretty frustrating, but few things are as satisfying as downing a taunting Dwight. Whether with status effects or your own keen intuition, punish Survivors and accomplish these milestones at the same time.

  • Punch Drunk: Afflict 30 Survivors with the Oblivious status effectProwler: Detect a total of 100 Survivors with Killer InstinctHigh-Speed Pursuit: As a Killer, vault a total of 50 times while chasing SurvivorsFrom the Deep: Grab 25 Survivors hiding inside a LockerOutrage: Hit 100 Survivors who dropped a pallet during a chaseHeavy Burden: Hit 25 individual Survivors while carrying another SurvivorDeath of Ignorance: Down 15 Survivors suffering from the Oblivious status effectI See You: Down 30 Survivors suffering from the Exposed status effectFirst to the Punch: Down a total of 30 Survivors within 8 meters of an upright palletMulti-tasker: Down 30 Survivors while carrying another Survivor

Map control achievements

Newbie Killers often make the mistake of just focusing on the Survivors. However, having impressive map control can be even more frightening (and effective). So, hunting these achievements could make you an even better Killer.

  • Denied!: Close the Hatch 30 timesSilent Approach: Interrupt and grab 25 Survivors while they are repairing GeneratorsQuick Draw: Interrupt 10 Survivors cleansing a TotemGhost in the Machine: Damage a total of 50 Generators while UndetectableParty Crasher: Damage 100 Generators while any Survivor is hooked

Killer-specific achievements

While most of the Survivor achievements are open-ended for whatever character you prefer, quite a few Killer goals are very specific. From The Shape to The Mastermind, cycle through all your favorite Killers to clear out these milestones.
