Last night I got out of the fog, in a matter of speaking. I arrived in a pocket of tranquillity where the monster was nowhere to be seen. I stopped running and was immediately filled with a strange calmness. I lay down near the bonfire and closed my eyes for the first time in what seemed like days. After long, deep breaths, I plunged into what I first thought was the darkness of a dreamless sleep. And then I saw it. The Bloodweb, a space between reality and abstraction. There is no sleep here, only torment. Even my own mind is shared and bent at the Entity's will. | |||

Overview
The Bloodweb, as dubbed by Benedict Baker, is a metaphysical concept within the world of Dead by Daylight which can be accessed by both Survivors and Killers through their thought and sleep patterns.
Aside from Template:IconLink, it's the only possible way in the game to get Unlockables by purchasing Nodes, which cost Template:IconLink. Each Character has their own unique Bloodweb and all of them are procedurally generated, meaning that it's practically impossible to find two identical Bloodwebs between or on the same Character(s).
After unlocking every available Node in a Bloodweb (minus the ones claimed by The Template:IconLink), the Character will level up, generating a new Bloodweb. As a Character's Level increases, the Bloodweb will offer more and more Nodes per web to the player. After a Character reaches Level 10, The Entity will begin to consume a Node itself for each Node the Player takes, making some rewards impossible to obtain in that Bloodweb.
Only the inner circle of Nodes can be accessed immediately, the outer circles require you to open paths between claimed and unclaimed Nodes. Paths taken by The Entity can't be crossed.
Node Cost
- Main article: Bloodpoints
The Bloodweb contains a variety of different Nodes, some considerably rarer than others. Nodes in the inner circle cost 3000 BPs, 5000 BPs in the middle circle and 8000 BPs in the outer circles. The rarity doesn't affect the price.

Tips
- (After reaching Level 10) It is suggested to go for the most desirable Nodes right away as The Entity may steal it from you.
- (After reaching Level 10) If you want to level up as quick as possible without caring about the Nodes you pick, be sure to unlock the cheapest Nodes first, leaving The Entity to claim the most expensive ones.
- You can also trick the Entity into consuming a big chunk of the Bloodweb by cleverly intersecting its paths and guiding it towards Key Nodes that pose the only access point for others.
- If you are looking for a particular, it is suggested to unlock a Perk from every Bloodweb and not leave any out. This will narrow down future options, eventually increasing your likelihood of receiving the desired Perk.
- The Entity will always eat the other Perk in your Bloodweb.
Quotes
I feel confident that I can inculcate my awareness of the Bloodweb to the others that are trapped here with me. Maybe they can unlock their inner strength with my help. | ||

Trivia
- During the BETA, the Bloodweb was locked after reaching Level 5. However, because players were able to complete the Level 5 Bloodweb, it capped at Level 6.
