Dead by Daylight’s latest addition, The Unknown, presents intriguing interactions with weakened survivors. Despite its mysterious nature, players have begun unraveling details during the latest PTB.

This enigmatic killer resembles a humanoid figure mimicking human behavior. While its species remains undisclosed, it possesses the ability to generate husks and swap positions. The Unknown also employs a lethal toxin inducing the Weakened status. Survivors in this state risk losing a health state upon contact with the toxin’s blast area, yet can recover by confronting The Unknown directly. Astute players have noted an intriguing aspect of this status effect.

In a Reddit post by ToranMramor9, a video highlighted The Unknown’s altered speech patterns when interacting with weakened survivors.
Whereas normal characters hear mumbled voice lines, weakened survivors perceive clear and audible sentences. This suggests heightened vulnerability for afflicted survivors, enabling The Unknown’s deception to potentially ensnare them.

Regrettably, the game features only a limited number of characters with voice lines. Incorporating The Unknown’s ability to mimic survivors’ speech patterns could have added a unique layer of confusion during matches, enhancing the game’s depth. Despite the game’s communication limitations, The Unknown emerges as a captivating addition by Behavior, hinting at potential future updates and features to enrich the gaming experience.
