DBD Mobile: Survivors Guide for Beginners

649 View2019-10-24

Welcome new players to DBD mobile! This is a simple guide for new players that want to start off as playing survivors and that need help on how to play.

The survivors objective is to fix a total of 5 generators within the map u spawn in to turn on the gate and escape. But! They have to survive long enough against a killer.

[b]-Survivors and Perks-

[/b]Currently, there are 15 survivors to choose from.

Each survivors have different perks that help aid u in the game. As u progress within the game, the survivor that u play as will level up and will get new perks the more u level. Both killer and survivor have teachable perks that can be use with other killers or survivors at certain level.

To know what each perk does, just simple tap and hold on the perks icon and the information will pop up to the right side of the screen.

Use or test builds that will fit ur play style and help ur team.

[b]-Bloodmarket and Items-

[/b]The Bloodmarket is where u can purchase items by using "Blood Points" ( or BPs for short) that u can acquire after each game. The items are:

- Tool boxes

- Med kits

- Flashlight

- BPs bonus offerings

- Keys for Hatch

- Parts for generators or flashlights

- Map offerings

- Rare items ( Red colored Icon)

And more.

Make sure to buy items that can be useful to u. Each time u buy an item, the items that u didnt purchase will be taken by the Entity and u won't be able to get that item.

Each of these items can be useful in game. U can also put extra items in "Add-ons" ( for example ) to help fix generators faster or put more power into the flashlights.

Also, there are chests within the game that contain items. U can use these items if ur durability is low on the item that u have currently or don't have at all. If the game was successful, u can also keep the item that u found.

But, these items can be easily lost if the game was unsuccessful and the killer won. So be aware of this.

-Survivors Strategies-

- Looking around and Heart beats-

When spawning into the game, first thing to do is find a generator but be cautious when walking, crouching, or running toward it. Make sure to use ur camera to look around u or use this icon below to help u look.Once u find a generator and begin to work on it, continue to look around ur surroundings and be careful of ur skill checks. Just by doing this, u can easily spot the killer if he/she is coming towards ur direction.

Listen to ur heart! The heart beat sound and the red glow of ur heart is a killer detector. If the killer is heading ur way and u see/hear ur heart beating and glowing slowly, slowy get of the gen and slowly crouch toward the nearest object and hide and make sure the killer doesn't see u as they pass by. Use ur environment and objects around u such as trees, big rocks, walls, barrels, and crates.

If the killer spots u, run. As ur being chased, make sure that u look behind u. That way u can see what the killer is going to do.

-Pallets-

Pallets can be used to slow down, stun the killer, or save someone from being hooked or picked up. The most common problem with some survivors is using pallets too early and wasting them which can give the killer a higher advantage towards u and ur fellow teammates. Pallets require timing and the killer needs to be close enough to it. As i mentioned before, looking behind u as ur being chased by the killer can be beneficial if ur close to a pallet. That way u can tell whether the killer respects the pallet or not. U can also pallet/window loop and distracted the killer while ur teammates gets all the gens done.

[b]-Flashlights-

[/b]Flashlights are very useful but can be hard to use for some survivors. Flashlights require timing, the right angle, and distance between u and the killer. Flashlights can be used to blind the killer for a short period of time and can be used to save a fellow teammates from being taken to a hook or being picked up. Using a pallet to stun the killer and using a flashlight after can beneficial and gives u time. NOTE: the killer can look up and avoid the flashlight, look at a wall, look at a different direction of ur flashlight, and can rely on sound to find u when blinded. Do not use the flashlight at close enough range where the killer can hit u.

[b]-Tool Box-

[/b]

Tool boxes r mostly used to help speed up gen repair and sabotage hooks. All hooks within the map u spawn can be sabotaged except the basement hooks. Once a hook is sabotaged, it takes a decent amount of time before it respawns back. Add-on items such as parts can help aid with the actions.

[b]-Keys-

[/b]

Keys play an important roll. Keys can open up the hatch for u and ur teammates escape when a certain amount of gens r done. Keep in mind that if a killer sees u with a key, they will stop at nothing to get u hooked or moried firsted.

[b]-Hatch Standoff-

[/b]

Nothing is more intense than a Hatch Standoff between u and the killer. The odds between the two of u can be 50/50. U can try to get the killer to loop or hit u if ur fully healed. The killers animation time after hitting u can buy u enough to jump into the hatch. If u have Ds ( Decisive strike perk), u can use it to escape the killer's grasp but the killer may know that u have it and will either juggle u or randomly hit something to cause u to miss the skill check.

[b]-Killer campers-

[/b]

If u come across a killer thats camping a survivor on a hook, best thing to do is to not go for the save righ away. The best thing to do is to do gens. The killer will waste time by camping and will get less BPs at the end of the game. If u and the rest of ur teammates goes for the save at the same time, it will give the killer an opportunity to down all of u.

[b]-Lockers-

[/b]

Lockers have been around since the beginning of DBD. Survivors can use lockers to hide from the killer if the killer is nearby or in a chase. Lockers can put u at disadvantage since lockers can make noise that alert the killer of ur location. The perk "Quick and Quiet" can aid u when jumping into a locker. U can also stun the killer if u have the perk "Head On". Just be careful when going into lockers. Killers can open and drag u out, putting u into the dying state and u will be hooked.

[b]-Totems-

[/b]

Within the map, there r 4 little Skulls and bones structures hidden in corners behind objects r called Totems. Totems r the killer's perks. U can cleanse these totem, causing totem to break which will shut of one of the killer's perks. Some totems will glow yellow which usually means its a Hex Totem. Hex Totems can become a problem to u and ur teammates at the beginning or close at the end of the game and will prevent u from doing ur tasks. Be careful of breaking certain Hex Totems. Depending on the killer's perk, a Hex totem can expose u and ur teammates auras to the killer. Killers will also know when a totem is being touched and will alert the killer of ur location. If the killer finds u touching their totems, they will stop at nothing until ur hooked or moried to protect their totem ( mostly Hex Totems they will protect ). "Haunted grounds", "Hex Rune", and "NOED" ( No One Escapes Death ) r usually the ones that r mostly use by killers. Don't break the Hex Totems unless u absolutely have to to prevent from getting one hitted by killer or prevent the Entity from blocking the gens.

[b]-Maps-

[/b]

This is an item call Maps. When taking this item with u into a game, it allows u to read the map and locate gens and chests only u can see within an 8 meter radius. U can use add-ons to extend the durability, range, and allow other teammates to see where everything is. It can reveal the Hatch if ur the last survivor left.

Hope that helps!
