About This Content

The Saw Chapter is a brand new Chapter for Dead by Daylight.

Life is the most precious thing we have. A gift we are given, but a gift some squander. We need to be alive, not just exist. This is where The Pig steps in - a teacher that provides those selected with an opportunity to appreciate life yet again. To fight for our own survival, or simply let go and die. David Tapp thinks otherwise. He believes that everyone is free to live their own life, without the threat of death in the shape of a trap. A seasoned detective that seeks The Pig - a search that brings him to the Gideon Meat Plant.

Puzzle me this
They say that it’s good for the human race to solve puzzles, to make use of our highly developed brain. To get some of that “positive stress”. But there’s a limit. A lethal limit where blood gets involved and we create memories of something we rather forget. The Pig is the puzzlemaster, and we are the test subjects.

The Saw Chapter is a Chapter for Dead by Daylight. It includes a new Killer, a Survivor and a Map.

The Pig

The Pig is a disciple of a mastermind known to the world as Jigsaw. In both The Pig and Jigsaw’s minds, they believe they are doing something necessary. Something that’ll make those placed inside their devious contraptions see life for what it really is once again. There are, of course, some sacrifices one must be willing to make, if one is to survive the “lesson”. Good luck…

Killer Power - The Pig: Jigsaw's Baptism
Forever devoted to her master's cause, she punishes the ungrateful and the guilty with slyness and murderous puzzles. The Pig can move stealthily, dash in ambush attacks and put Reverse Bear Traps on Survivors' heads.

Press the Active Ability button to assume a crouching position. While crouching:
· The Pig has no Terror Radius.
· Hold the Attack button to dash in an ambush attack.

Start the trial with 4 Reverse Bear Traps:
· Reverse Bear Traps are put on Dying Survivors.
· Revere Bear Traps automatically sacrifice the survivor when they trigger.
· Reverse Bear Traps trigger automatically beyond the Exit Gates.
· Reverse Bear Traps trigger once the timer runs out.
· Reverse Bear Traps’ timers start when a generator is completed.
· Survivors can free themselves from Reverse Bear Traps by searching Jigsaw Boxes, located around the map, and finding the correct key.



The Pig comes with 3 new perks.

The focus of The Pig’s Perks is on pain and torture. A Hook is not that easy to flee from and all Survivors will be seriously tested when it comes to Skill Checks.

Hangman's Trick

Your ingenious modifications to Hooks prevent tampering and permanent damage. Hooks destroyed by sabotage or sacrifices repair after a short moment. Gain a notification when someone starts Sabotaging the Hooks.

Surveillance

Unlocks potential in one's Aura reading ability. The last regressing generators' Auras are revealed to you.

Make your Choice

When a survivor rescues another from a hook at least 48/40/32 meters away from you, Make your Choicetriggers and applies the Exposed Status Effect on the rescuer for 60 sec. Make your choice has a cooldown of 60 seconds.

The Detective

David Tapp is one of the few good guys left. Someone who actually seeks justice. After years of wearing the shield, he caught the most horrendous case yet. A fiendish being that reserved the right to unleash torture upon the world as it was considered “needed”. A frantic chase began, making David end up at the Realm of the Entity where the search never ends.

Tenacity

There is nothing stopping you. Your ferocious tenacity in dire situations allows you to crawl faster and recover at the same time.

Detective’s Hunch

Unlocks potential in one's Aura reading ability. When completing a Generator, the Auras of Generators, Chests and Totems within range are revealed to you for 3 seconds. If you are holding a Map that can track objectives, objectives revealed by Detective's Hunch are added to the map.

Stake Out

Getting close to the Killer fills you with determination. When standing within the Killer Terror Radius for some time and not in a Chase, you gain a Token up to a maximum. When Stake Out has at least 1 Token, Good Skill Checks are considered Great Skill Checks and consume 1 Token.

The Abattoir

The Gideon Meat Plant is no longer a place of death designed for animals. Its focus has shifted towards the human race. You can still sense a scent of blood mixed with rust and fear. Thousands upon thousands of animals have met their end at this place, but those humans who enter the premises are not supposed to die. They are meant to survive and learn. But the majority of those who participate will fail.
