Lara Croft has officially arrived in Dead by Daylight for an adventure unlike any she’s experienced before. 

No guns. No bow. No way home. Lara will need to rely on the intangibles that define her if she hopes to survive the trials that await. Luckily, she won’t have to do it alone – and neither will you. We’ve outlined everything you need to navigate the challenges ahead and make Lara’s survival instinct shine in the face of fear itself.  

Survivor’s Path 

For those who have never played Dead by Daylight, the premise is simple. A lone Killer stalks and attempts sacrifice on a group of 4 Survivors who must work together to escape the Trial Grounds with their lives.  

To do this, they must repair 5 of the 7 Generators scattered throughout the Map to power and open a set of Exit Gates. Killers cannot be hurt, and Survivors have no weapons. Evasion, stealth, and teamwork are the only ways to stay alive. Should you be caught, the Killer will place you on a hook where you’ll need to rely on your allies to rescue you before the sacrifice can be completed.  

The Perks of Being Lara Croft 

Survivors in Dead by Daylight are each equipped with 3 Perks – abilities that can be used over the course of a Trial to turn the tides in your favor. An intrepid, athletic, and endlessly adaptable adventurer, Lara brings some vital advantages to The Fog.  

• Finesse: Lara’s Finesse Perk is a reflection of her athletic abilities. When leaping over a window ledge or pallet, Lara employs an acrobatic vault that not only looks impressive but provides her a speed boost that can make all the difference in a chase. 

• Hardened: It takes more than being kidnapped to a dark supernatural realm to rattle the Tomb Raider. After completing specific tasks, Lara is rewarded with a heightened fearlessness that prevents her from screaming and revealing her location when the Killer is nearby.

• Specialist: As an archeologist, Lara is always on the hunt for valuable items and artifacts. Opening a chest will award her with tokens that can later be used to lock-in progress when fixing a Generator, making it impossible for a Killer to undo her hard work.  

Tips & Teamwork  

There’s more to being a Survivor than just running, hiding, and repairing Generators. When Lara’s life is on the line, it’s the little details that can make all the difference. Here are a few useful tips for Lara to add to her journal.  

• Teamwork: Lara may often work alone, but in Dead by Daylight working together can be the key to survival. Help your fellow Survivors fix Generators. Heal them when injured. Pull them off hooks as they dangle helplessly. There may come a point when you need them to return the favor… 

• Heartbeat: If Lara suddenly hears her heartbeat pounding in her ears, beware. You’ve entered the Killer’s Terror Radius. The louder the heartbeat, the closer they are.  

• Generators: Part of repairing Generators includes completing Skill Checks. Don’t let them catch you off guard. Ensure you stop the arrow in the success zone for a good or great Skill Check. Fail it, and the Killer is alerted to Lara’s location.  

• Chases: Running in a straight line won’t give Lara much chance of survival. Weave around corners and obstacles. Tip over wooden Pallets to impede the Killer. Walk or crouch to avoid leaving Scratch Marks the Killer can follow. Hide in lockers to throw them off the trail.  

• Items: Chests around the map contain useful items like Med-Kits or Flashlights which can be used to blind the Killer during a daring escape or rescue.
