Jason Voorhees Arrives in Dead by Daylight, Custom Build Detailed
Jason Voorhees has joined Dead by Daylight following the game's 10th-anniversary stream. A custom build has been detailed, aiming to replicate the character's relentless slasher energy from the movies. This specific build focuses on perks and add-ons designed to impede survivor healing and maintain pressure, offering an experience reminiscent of the original slasher films and potentially appealing to players who enjoyed *Friday the 13th: The Game*.
Jason Voorhees has been introduced to *Dead by Daylight* (DBD), arriving shortly after the game's 10th-anniversary stream outlined its future roadmap.
A custom build for the character has been developed to enhance his in-game feel, emphasizing his signature relentlessness and creating a sense of dread for survivors. This build incorporates both perks unlocked with Jason and other in-game items that do not require additional purchases.
Jason's unique ability, "Omnipresent Evil," is designed to allow him to appear quickly and unexpectedly to victims. The custom build aims to complement this skill by providing tools that make him an unyielding presence.
**Key Perks in the Build:**
* **Hex: Scared To Death:** After hooking three different survivors, a Dull Totem ignites. While chasing a survivor, breaking a pallet causes survivors within 13 meters to scream and gain 13% Hindered for 3 seconds. * **Rampage:** Breaking a pallet or breakable wall earns a token (up to 13). When blinded or pallet-stunned, for 13 seconds, the player gains 1% Haste for each token. This perk has a 20-second cooldown. * **Sloppy Butcher:** Damaging a survivor with a basic attack inflicts Hemorrhage and Mangled for 90 seconds. Survivors with Hemorrhage lose healing progress 25% faster. * **Scourge Hook: Weeping Wounds:** At the start of a trial, four random hooks become Scourge Hooks. When a survivor is unhooked from a Scourge Hook, they gain Hemorrhage and Mangled for 90 seconds. After healing, they heal and repair 16% slower until they take damage again.
**Key Add-Ons in the Build:**
* **Missing Corkscrew:** Impaled survivors emit a 32-meter Terror Radius until the spike is extracted. The killer gains Undetectable from the time a survivor is impaled until 13 seconds after the spike is extracted. * **Mirror Shards:** Impaled survivors become Broken for 30 seconds after extracting the spike, preventing them from healing during this period.
Collectively, this build is intended to keep survivors consistently debuffed and under pressure, aligning Jason's gameplay with his iconic movie portrayal as an unstoppable killer who frequently appears at critical moments.
According to GameSpot, this particular build focuses on maintaining high pressure on survivors and hindering their ability to recover.
