Broken is a Status Effect featured in Dead by Daylight that is applied exclusively to Survivors.
Mechanic[]
The Broken Status Effect is a debuffing effect applied by various Unlockables and some Powers.
Survivors suffering from Broken can no longer be healed past the Injured State, neither by themselves, other Survivors, nor any Healing effects.
Unlockables[]
The following Unlockables either inflict or interact with the Broken Status Effect:
Add-ons[]
B-Movie Poster | The movie was rumored to be state-funded propaganda, made specifically for something called Project Apple-Pie.
| |
---|---|---|
Nanomachine Gel | A gel that can heal wounds extremely quickly. However, the machines in it have a history of being hacked to hurt people too.
| |
The Legion Pin | A handmade button with the face of The Legion. To use exclusively on intimidation dares.
| |
Weighty Rattle | A shoddily carved rattle that Victor cried over until his mother stole it for him. It is entirely too heavy to be trusted to a child.
| |
Rusted Chains | This chain is covered with crusty and volatile rust spots that make injuries particularly difficult to heal.
|
Perks[]
Blood Rush | Your mind and body are honed for great feats, allowing you to push through with extra effort when necessary.
Once you are one Hook away from instant death, Blood Rush activates:
Blood Rush is disabled for the remainder of the Trial after use. "Just gotta... push through!" — Renato Lyra | |
---|---|---|
Deliverance | After performing a Safe Hook Rescue on another Survivor, Deliverance activates:
Deliverance is not available during the second Hook Stage or if you are hooked as the last living Survivor in the Trial, regardless of your Hook Stage then. "I was raised by a strict man who taught me how to make the best of a bad situation." — Adam Francis | |
For the People | You risk life and injury for others.
While healthy and healing another Survivor without using a Med-Kit, press the Active Ability button to activate For the People:
Reduces the Odds of becoming the initial Obsession of the Killer by -100 %. "We can write our own story and decide how it really ends." — Zarina Kassir | |
Forced Penance | Those who stand in the way of duty will suffer harsh judgement. Survivors who take a Protection Hit suffer from the Broken Status Effect for the next 60/70/80 seconds. | |
Inner Strength | You look inwards and trust your instincts when you feel lost and alone.
Each time you cleanse a Totem, Inner Strength activates:
"All this time I've been trying so hard to pretend like everything's fine, but it's not." — Nancy Wheeler | |
Invocation: Weaving Spiders | The place where fear festers and terror treads is also where those with the gift can reach across the veil.
When in the Basement near the circle, press the Ability button to begin the Invocation, which takes 120 seconds to complete. Once the Invocation is completed, the following effects apply:
"I call upon the spirits of the night, to aid us in our desperate flight!" — Sable | |
No Mither | Go on out, kid, it is just a scratch. Your thick blood coagulates practically instantly.
"I lost it. Just lamped him one. They went and banned me didn't they. Went t'pub afterwards, had a few pints and moved on to the next chapter. I couldn't be mithered with it all anyway, you know what I mean? Can't be arsed." — David King | |
Second Wind | You have learnt to avoid awkward situations with parents. Part of you still thinks your best option is to run away and hope things will take care of themselves. When you heal another Survivor for the equivalent of 1 Health State, Second Wind activates:
"Yeah, that's a no." — Steve Harrington | |
Terminus | You are a brilliant tactician who prepares for every eventuality.
Once the Exit Gates are powered, Terminus activates: | |
Vigil | You look over your friends even in dire situations.
"I am gonna be here when you wake up. You are gonna make it." — Quentin Smith |

Trivia[]
- Broken can technically be applied to healthy Survivors.
This will not automatically injure them. - Broken shows its icon on the Survivor HUD as well, so other Players are informed that the affected Player cannot be healed.
