Unhooker

Saves and trades

You keep people in the game. Face-unhooks are how tunnels start. Take the hit or wait for a setup.

Job: Safe unhook, take the hit, or waitFail: Unhooking in the killer's face with no trade

Kit: A body block or a pallet/flashlight setup · A med-kit or a heal plan · The patience to wait two seconds

Dead by Daylight unhooking a survivor

Strengths

  • • Wins games that a 4K chase clip still loses
  • • Teaches when to take a hit — the tagline
  • • Slugged teammates need a plan, not panic vaults

Weaknesses

  • • Insta-unhook every time because the HUD is yellow
  • • No heal after, then a second hook in 10 seconds

Starter tips

  1. 1

    Unhooking in the killer's face with no trade. Take the hit or wait for a flashlight/pallet setup.

  2. 2

    Bring a med-kit or know where to heal.

  3. 3

    If the killer is camping at five gens, do a gen — then a trade. Not four people in the basement.

  4. 4

    Perks that help unhooks change every patch. The wait-or-trade habit does not.
