CHAPTER 5.5: LEATHERFACE™, formerly known as PARAGRAPH 2: LEATHERFACE™, was the second Half-Chapter DLC for Dead by Daylight, released on 14 September 2017.

The DLC was renamed a few years after the Developers abandoned the practice of calling in-between Chapter DLCs "Paragraphs" and opted to call them "Half-Chapters" instead.

This DLC features the following content:

• 1 Killer:
  • The Cannibal
• 1 exclusive Cosmetic Piece:
  • Black and Blue - Common Dwight Fairfield Head
• 4 unlockable Cosmetic Pieces, which were decommissioned in Patch 5.5.0.
  These cannot be used or unlocked anymore:
  • Leaderface - Common The Cannibal Head
  • Athleteface - Common The Cannibal Head
  • Smartface - Common The Cannibal Head
  • Survivorface - Common The Cannibal Head

Description

As the saw starts...

What happens when the body grows but the mind can't keep up? A child's fears and anxiety, but trapped inside a fully grown man's body. A furious body wielding a chainsaw? Someone who knows what happens as you disobey your family. What happens if anyone finds out what's in the stew.

The Cannibal

Main article: Bubba Sawyer

The Cannibal's Info

Leatherface is not only the skin clad maniac with a disturbed mind. He seeks acceptance and appreciation. He's learned the hard way and was molded to what he now is. A watchdog, a guardian, a blind gate keeper who never questions. And all problems can be solved with his chainsaw.

The Cannibal's Power

"An incredibly powerful and heavy Chainsaw which sank its teeth into countless victims.
A suitable birthday gift for The Cannibal."

SPECIAL WEAPON: BUBBA'S CHAINSAW
The Cannibal starts the Trial with 3 Tokens.
Tokens automatically recharge at a rate of 0.25 c/s while the Chainsaw is not in use.

SPECIAL ABILITY: CHAINSAW SWEEP
Press and hold the Power button to charge the Chainsaw and break into a Chainsaw Sweep for 2 seconds:

• Hitting Survivors with the Chainsaw inflicts double damage.
  • The Chainsaw can hit multiple targets in one sweep.

Using Bubba's Chainsaw consumes 1 Token.

SPECIAL ABILITY: CHAINSAW DASH
Press the Power button again during an on-going Chainsaw Sweep to chain a Chainsaw Dash:

• Resets the Power Gauge timer, extending the Chainsaw Sweep.
• Increases the Cool-down time of the Chainsaw by +1 second per consumed Token.

SPECIAL STATE: TANTRUM
Revving the Chainsaw fills the Tantrum Meter by +20 % per second, with it discharging at the same rate when stopping to rev.
Once the meter is full, or after hitting an obstacle during a Chainsaw Sweep, The Cannibal unleashes a Tantrum for a minimum of 5 seconds, wildly slashing out and damaging any Survivors in close proximity, dealing double damage:

• Increases the Tantrum duration by 1 second per consumed Token.
• Removes any remaining Tokens.
• Reduces his Movement speed by -90 %.

The Cannibal's Perks

	Barbecue & Chilli	A deep bond with The Entity unlocks potential in one's Aura-reading ability. After hooking a Survivor, all Survivors who are at least 60/50/40 metres away from that Hook have their Aura revealed to you for 5 seconds. "I just can't take no pleasure in killing. There's just some things you gotta do. Don't mean you have to like it." — Drayton Sawyer
	Franklin's Demise	Your vicious Basic Attacks make Survivors drop their Items on impact. If not recovered within 150/120/90 seconds, the lost Items will have their Charges depleted by The Entity. The Auras of lost Items are revealed to you within 32 metres and slowly fade from white to red as the timer elapses. "Sally, I hear something. Stop! Stop!" — Franklin Hardesty
	Knock Out	The trauma caused by your brutal attacks makes crying for help painfully difficult. Putting a Survivor into the Dying State with your Basic Attack blocks their Aura from being revealed to any Survivor, who is farther than 32/24/16 metres away from them. For the next 15 seconds, the following effects apply to the dying Survivor: Reduces their Field of View and causes them to be deafened. Suffers from the Blindness Status Effect. Reduces the Crawling speed by -50 %. Reduces the Recovery speed by -25 %. "Oh, that gun's no good. The old way... with a sledge! You see, that way's better. They die better that way." — Nubbins Sawyer

Trivia

• CHAPTER 5.5: LEATHERFACE™ was originally going to be a full Chapter DLC, with Kate Denson being the Survivor associated with The Cannibal. However, due to severe time and resource restrictions the Developers were facing due to the release of CHAPTER 6: A Nightmare on Elm Street™ just a month later, according to them, they had to cut Kate for the time being (she was subsequently added to CHAPTER 8: Curtain Call with The Clown) and downgrade the LEATHERFACE Chapter to just a Paragraph. This is also noticeable by The Cannibal's initial lack of personal Add-ons and sharing them with The Hillbilly with the exception of just four, which was ultimately remedied with the Hillbilly and Cannibal Rework in Patch 4.1.0.
