Status Effects

IconHelp statusEffectList
AllStatusEffects

All available Status Effects (except for Madness and Sleep Penalty) active at the same time.[1]

First added with Patch 1.5.0, Status Effects show whenever a Survivor is affected by a special effect or affliction, indicated by a corresponding icon above the Perk diamond.
The icon's colour will reflect whether it is a buff (yellow) or a debuff (red).

Tiered Status Effects feature up to three Chevrons on the icon:
The more chevrons a Status Effect has, the stronger is its effect.
There are currently just two tiered Status Effects: BloodlustIconHelp bloodlust and MadnessIconStatusEffects madness.

Status Effects that are on a timer may have their timer refreshed by a new application of the effect, but will generally not stack the strength of their effects.

Proficiency Indicators

IconHelp proficiency
IconHelp proficiencyList

First added with Patch 1.5.0, Proficiency Indicators indicate to both Killers and Survivors how various effects from either their own Add-ons, Perks, Offerings, etc., or those of other Players, affect their performance at the interaction they are currently performing.
They do this by displaying the effect's associated icon above the Progress Bar and by colouring said bar accordingly.

Unlike Status Effects, Proficiency Indicators are not inherently a buff (yellow) or a debuff (red) in effect, but can be either, indicated by the colour of the icon and the colour of the Progress Bar.

Progress Bar

The Progress Bar is displayed whenever an interaction requires a certain amount of Charges to be completed.
The Bar has 3 possible states/colours:

State & Colour Icon Information
Default State: blueish white ProgressBar neutralProgressionComplete The Player's Action speed is exactly 1 Charge per second (default).
Buff State: yellow ProgressBar yellowProgressionComplete The Player's Action speed is greater than 1 Charge per second.
Debuff State: red ProgressBar redProgressionComplete The Player's Action speed is less than 1 Charge per second.

It should be duly noted that the colour of the Progression is individual to each Player.
Even if the overall interaction (i.e. Generator Repair with multiple Survivors) is faster than the default Action speed of 1 Charge per second, if your individual speed/contribution to this is below that (i.e. due to Efficiency penalty), or above that (i.e. Toolbox Repair), the Progress Bar will be coloured accordingly.


Chance

Main article: Chance


FulliconStatusEffects chance The Chance Proficiency Indicator works alongside the Luck Mechanic and indicates whether the action a Survivor is currently performing has a higher or lower chance at succeeding.

Player Effects System

MaximumPerkEffects

Maximum number of Player Effects possible in a single Trial as of CHAPTER 27.[2]

The Player Effects System is used to indicate when something is affecting the Player and their abilities directly.

It was the very first such information system in Dead by Daylight and was already present in the release version 1.0.0.
It has remained in use to this date, with the Status Effects and Proficiency Indicator Systems complementing its functionality since Patch 1.5.0, taking up functions that would have been ill-suited to the Player Effects System.

Use

Originally, the Player Effects System was reserved solely for the effects of Perks and Add-ons that influenced other Players, but has since expanded to encompass any effects affecting the Player and their abilities directly, whether those originate from the Player's own Unlockables or from those of other Players.

It is also used to indicate when a Killer's Power is affecting the Player in a way that cannot be displayed by any of the other information systems in Dead by Daylight.

Buff vs. Debuff

Before the introduction of the newer Status Effects and Proficiency Indicator Systems, effects which buffed the Player would use a turquoise colour, instead of yellow.
Since the Player Effects System is the oldest remaining system, it still uses the turquoise colour to indicate a buff.
Debuffs already used a red colour back then.

Icon Examples

Buff Debuff
IconStatusEffects buffPerk IconStatusEffects debuffPerk

Unlockables

The following Unlockables will display their icon using the Player Effects System:

Powers
Carter's SparkIconPowers cartersSpark Shows a debuff icon of Carter's Spark while a Survivor's interactions are inhibited from being hit by a Shock Therapy Attack.
Props / Interactables

Survivor Activity HUD

SurvivorActivityHUD Screenshot01

First added with Patch 6.5.0, the Survivor Activity HUD displays the current interactions of Survivors to all other Survivors as a small symbol next to their HUD Icon.
In case of some crucial interactions such as Dying State Recovery and Generator Repair Progression, the current Progression of the interaction is displayed as well as a yellow circle surrounding the icon that is filling itself.

It also modified the mechanic of displaying when a Survivor is being chased by the Killer, which was formerly exclusive to the Obsession, so that it is now used on all Survivors.
The modified system still marks the Obsession with a long pair of Entity-claws framing their Survivor HUD Icon, but now uses a shorter pair of Entity-claws to indicate which Survivor is currently being chased.

The following interactions are currently displayed on the Survivor Activity HUD:

    • If the new Timer is the higher one, the previous timer is discarded and the Status Effect icon will visually reset to 100 %.
