PAX East 2019 : Dead By Daylight Adds The Evil Dead’s Ash

Behaviour’s Dead By Daylight has just added the grooviest demon killer to their game, Ashley J. Williams from the Evil Dead franchise! Announced at PAX East 2019, Ash is the newest survivor to join the DBD world. While Ash will not be able to slay the killers in the realm of the Entity (as per the games mechanics) he will have some unique perks that will help him and fellow survivors hopefully make it out alive:

FLIP-FLOP
You have an uncanny ability to escape the inevitable. While in dying state, part of your recovery progression is converted into wiggle progression when you are picked up by The Killer.

BUCKLE UP
Unlocks potential in one’s aura reading ability. The recovery progress of dying Survivors can be determined by the intensity of their auras. When you heal a Survivor from the dying state to injured, both the healed Survivor and yourself see The Killer’s aura for a short duration.

METTLE OF MAN
Evil has a way of always finding you. After getting hit a few times by a Killer’s basic attack, the perk activates. Once activated, the next occasion that would put you into the dying state from the injured state is ignored. The next time you heal back to full health, your aura will be revealed to the killer. The perk will deactivate the next time you are put into the dying state. Increases your chances to be the Killer’s obsession.

Only one obsession per match.

I was able to play as Ash at PAX East, and it was very groovy to see him in the Jacksonville outfit (as well as his traditional outfit) from Ash vs Evil Dead including his Ashy Slashy hand puppet!
