Dead by Daylight: How to Expose and Deal with Subtle HackersThis delves into the pervasive hacking problem and its complexities in Dead by Daylight. In a game where distinguishing hacks is difficult due to the lack of a replay system and a vast array of add-ons and perks, we introduce a new series to help players identify and deal with hackers. Through analysis of real cases, we'll explore in detail how subtle hackers manipulate the game.
1. 🎮 The Severity of Dead by Daylight's Hacking Problem and a New Series Proposal
· Despite Dead by Daylight (DBD) being one of the most searched games for cheats, there are no actual rewards for winning.
· Unlike other games, DBD lacks a replay system, making it difficult to confirm hackers, and the numerous add-ons and perks make distinguishing between hacks and legitimate play very complex.
· Casual players find it hard to know all perks and add-ons, and even content creators struggle to perfectly differentiate them.
· We propose a new series, 'Dead by Daylight Overwatch,' to benefit from hackers.
· Viewers can participate by submitting recorded gameplay videos of suspicious play and match history screenshots to the official Discord server.
· The most interesting cases will be selected and rewarded with DLC, which is a mutually beneficial approach that teaches casual players how to identify hackers and provides content for the channel.

2. 🎮 Case 1: Remote Healing and Collision Removal Hacker (Alan Wake)
· The main suspect was Alan Wake, but two Aces also seemed to be exploiting his hacks.
· Alan Wake achieved a perfect Bloodpoint score, which was impossible given his playstyle.
· He used a very suspicious 'V perk' that is rarely used alone.
· The two Aces played selfishly, exploiting Alan Wake's hacks, but their scores weren't perfect, and their perk builds were ordinary.
· Alan Wake used a hack to fully heal an Ace from a distance, making it appear as if another player was hacking.
· Alan Wake used a collision removal hack to evade the killer's attacks, making it look like the killer's attacks were hitting thin air.
· He also used a hack to blind the killer through walls even while tagged by Victor.
· He used a hack to repair all generators to 99% simultaneously and spam explosions.
· Final Verdict: Alan Wake is a clear hacker, and while the two Aces' use of hacks is uncertain, they played despicably.

3. 🎮 Case 2: Two Hackers Caught Trying to Hide Their Cheats (Leon & Ace)
· This case involves two hackers simultaneously trying to hide their cheats but exposing themselves.
· They used a hack to blind the killer through walls, which is the same type Alan Wake used.
· Leon and Ace used speed hacks and wall hacks to make the killer chase them indefinitely around the shack.
· They tried to make it look like legitimate play by increasing their speed the moment they were out of the killer's sight.
· The blood trails left while injured were significantly spread out at the point of speed hack usage.
· It could have been mistaken for legitimate play because they were playing against a Springtrap (a killer 5% slower), but their loadouts did not include acceleration perks like 'Blood Pact' or 'Power of Two.'
· Both used 'VGO Salty Lips,' which seems to be a way to claim they were lucky after instantly escaping from the hook using a hack.
· Final Verdict: Leon and Ace are clear hackers; they tried to hide their cheats but foolishly revealed themselves by using a flashlight hack through walls.
· They used a hack to blind the killer through walls, which is the same type Alan Wake used.

4. 🎮 Case 3: The Most Subtle Hacker (Renato) and Suspicious Perk Build
· This is the most subtle hacking case, where hack usage was only confirmed after checking the survivor's perks.
· Renato used a hack to prevent Yunjin from being hooked.
· Renato's loadout is highly abnormal and raises suspicion of hacking.
· Near the hook, Renato made a 'struggling sound,' which is heard when falling from a height or destroying a hook. Since Renato had no hook destruction perks, this is clear evidence of using a sabotage hack.
· Final Verdict: Renato is a clear hacker, and this is the most subtle case where an inexperienced killer might mistake it for a bug.
· Renato used a hack to prevent Yunjin from being hooked.
· Renato's loadout is highly abnormal and raises suspicion of hacking.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Perk Build | · No exhaustion perks · Used 'Botany Knowledge' and 'We're Gonna Live Forever' · Used 'Lithe' and 'Hyperfocus' |
| Intention | · Intended to avoid suspicion of healing hacks · 'Lithe' used to evade killer attacks · 'Hyperfocus' used to increase generator repair speed via perfect skill checks automatically triggered by hacks |
| Hack Evidence | · Using 'Hyperfocus' alone is a typical characteristic of a hacker · Perks do not synergize with each other · Traces of speed hack usage at multiple points during the match (just before killer attack, when attempting flashlight blind) |
· Final Verdict: Renato is a clear hacker, and this is the most subtle case where an inexperienced killer might mistake it for a bug.
