Dead by Daylight: Quick beginners guide

If you are playing as a killer and wondering how to start, the following tips will help you resolve any doubts:

Choose the right killer: each character has a unique power, which affects the gameplay. In the beginning, choose killers who have abilities that are easy to master. The ideal choice is Wraith.
Choose perks influencing generator regression: starting your adventure with the game, you will not yet be fully proficient in chasing survivors. That's why it's a good idea to purchase perks slowing down generators' repair.
Don't rely on sole sight: while tracking survivors, you should also listen to sounds in your surroundings. Your potential victims make all sorts of noise, which helps you track them.
Don't pursue survivors for too long: focusing on one survivor is not the best tactic. This is because the rest of the group can repair the generators in the meantime. Therefore, if you chase one person for too long, it is worth letting go and looking for someone else.
