This page of the DBD guide contains a description of the killer Pig. Here you can find a description of the perks and powers she possesses.
Basic information
The Pig is a partially stealth-focused killer who's great at slowing survivors down.
- Name: Amanda Young,
- Height: Moderate,
- Terror Radius: 32 meters,
- Movement speed: 4.6 m/s (normal), 3.6 m/s (crouched),
- Difficulty level: Moderate
- DLC: Yes.
Power and perks
The Pig has access to reverse bear traps. She has four of them in total. There's a number of Jigsaw Boxes on the map you can search through to find a key to the trap.
Inactive traps become active once someone fixes a generator. Survivors wearing them have 150 seconds to remove them. Once the time is up, the trap snaps open, killing the wearer. The timer pauses if the Pig is currently chasing the survivor.
The Pig's perks are mediocre and situational.
Icon | Perk | Effect |
 | Make Your Choice | When a survivor rescues someone from a hook at least 32 meters away from you, the perk activates:
|
 | Surveillance | Each regressing generator gains a white outline. If someone interrupts the regression process, the generator gains a yellow outline for 8/12/16 seconds. Generator repair noises can be heard from 8 meters farther than normal. |
 | Hangman's Trick | You get a notification when a survivor starts sabotaging a hook. While carrying a survivor you can see the aura of any survivors 2/4/6 meters from any hook. |
How to play the Pig?
The Pig excels at slowing survivors down, so it's very important to find them as soon as possible. This will let you effectively use the traps and gain a lot of time.
Remember the Pig can crouch. She's undetectable while doing so, making it extremely useful for ambushing survivors - especially those working on generators.
