Dead by Daylight Lights Out: a guide to the new mode

We’ve waited eight long years, and here it is finally: Dead by Daylight’s first new game mode. Here’s everything you need to know about Lights Out.

Dead by Daylight opened the doors to the Entity’s realm in 2016. For almost 8 years now, horror icons like Michael Myers have been hunting down characters from completely different franchises, like Resident Evil’s Leon S. Kennedy. And for at least as long, fans of the asymmetric multiplayer game have been yearning for new game modes. Finally, Behavior is releasing a new modifier for Dead by Daylight called Lights Out.

Lights Out makes DBD scary again

Over the years, DBD has evolved considerably. While there were only 3 killers and 4 survivors in 2016, the roster of playable characters now stands at a total of 74 characters. Additionally, many maps have been added, some of which even depict famous locations from movies and other games.

Despite the variety of characters, the horror element was ultimately lost for many long-time players, as the game itself never really changed.

During the latest developer stream, the team finally announced that they were going to try out new modes. From February 7 to February 14the first limited-time modifier called Lights Out will be available.

In the stream, we first hear some information about the game’s latest chapter, Alan Wake. About halfway through, the presentation switches to the new mode, which will initially be available for a limited time. The reason is that developers want to get a feel for the new concept first. The ultimate goal, however, is to try and offer additional game modes, available for longer.

Lights Out will be a new mode that can be played alongside regular public matches. So this is different from previous events where new game additions influenced every match.

As you can imagine, in this mode, the the maps you play on will be very dark. However, this is not the only change.

THE killers will no longer have a terror ray, meaning you can’t see or hear if a killer is approaching. So, prepare yourself for some scares. On the other hand, the killers I can’t see the scratches anymore. So if any survivors are running away from you, keep an eye on them as you will no longer see any light trails left by them.

And before you think, forget it! Because in Lights Out, you enter the ordeal just like God – er, I mean the Entity created you: Without loading. You cannot bring any perks, items, offers, or add-ons.

But wait, there’s more: what I personally find most interesting is that during matches, a much of the HUD will be removed. For example, as a survivor, you won’t see how far the generator has progressed or how many people have already been finished off. This also applies to the point of view of the killer, who will also not see how many survivors he has hooked. Yes, that means it will be necessary to count.

To add more variability to the mix, survivors will find more chests on the maps than usual, which also contain better items. So, always keep your eyes open; a medical kit can be a real game-changer.

So many cool changes? What kind of Dead by Daylight article is this? No worries, to temper all this positivity, I have a downside for you: Lights Out will not be available in custom games. So, if you are a group of 5 people, you will not be able to play together, which is actually a real shame. I think the game mode would have been a good choice for a fun evening with friends.

But what is not can still become so. As the developers mentioned, Lights Out is only the first modifier tested. During the last satisfaction survey, players were asked to rank potential new game modes. For example, the 2 versus 8 mode already available on DBD Mobile has been mentioned, so maybe one day we can unleash 2 killers on 8 survivors.

Let’s hope for a future full of variety.
