This hole is here for a REASON! - The Unknown Gameplay | Dead by Daylight PTB

We're still playing "The Unknown" on the PTB because, frankly, this is the most fun Killer they've released in a long time. This video features my best match so far and some really cool clips (with some recreated footage to help you understand what it looks like from the Survivor POV).

[@janortiz1084]

"There's nothing super obviously wrong with him" is such a funny thing to say about Unknown in particular lmao

[@notOtzdarva]

I know it sounds funny, but a lot of the previous Killers felt way off during the PTB. Skull Merchant was incredibly lackluster, Knight's guards were absolutely pathetic, Wesker's collision was huge, etc... this is the first PTB where I'm having fun with the Killer's power and it doesn't feel like it's an unfinished product that will have to go through several more changes before we get to play the final iteration.

[@Foeisudhxj]

@@notOtzdarva I think my main issue is that shooting lavender goo at people doesn’t really fit his aesthetic. Some people say the power in general doesn’t fit, but I think if they changed the color of the goo to black or a dark red it would be really cool. Lavender is not a color I associate with creepiness.

[@thesaviorofsouls5210]

​@@Foeisudhxjhmm i dont mind it, and for gameplay purposes its ideal for both sides. I wouldnt say the whole magic explosion fits him as a whole but the color is fine. But youre entitled to your opinion ofc.

[@matthenley3886]

If he could just find a decent dentist then he’d look relatively normal

[@ripple_that_dipple]

@@Foeisudhxj It actually kind of does in a sense. The Unknown is an urban legend of sorts that everyone has their own ideas on what it is. Some thought it was an axe killer, therefore it has an axe. Some thought it was a body snatcher that uses voices to lure people in. Some thought it was a government made bioweapon, hence the organic grenade launcher. In the Entity' realm, The Unknown is the culmination of people' thoughts on what The Unknown is.

[@wubwubdododo5656]

from this footage, something that i think makes this character unique is that survivors have to look at you to cleanse the debuff, instead of just sitting on their ass holding a button or going to some out of the way interactible. This makes it not only harder to cleanse and thus leaves them open for later plays but it also actually places some burden on the survivors, which usually is never the case.

[@jnever9768]

yeah its weird they built a killer around how bad their maps are lol. it also helps with ppl who run 3 times around the rock. now those ppl get injured. that was some of the most boring gameplay in the game

[@NewSirenSong]

An out of the way interactable is in fact placing the burden on the survivors to deal with. Harder counterplay doesn't necessarily mean good counterplay (especially not with bhvr's dedicated servers)

I like how a lot of the Unknown’s powers can in theory be countered by facing your fear and keeping line of sight with him, looking at him. His power goes away like ghostfaces reveal, and you can easily see when he teleports away by just keeping him in sight and noting the red stain. Very flavorful counters, the rest is just chase ability This is the best killer to be released in a long time

[@kingol4801]

Agreed. Very few killers live up to their lore. Last solid one was Skull Merchant, which used drones as generator-patrol and had amazing intel. Glad that this killer also lives up to his “fear of the unknown” vibe

[@yuppersmeer6080]

[@kingol4801]

I don’t think you get it. They don’t just pick one horror style over the other. They do them ALL, and that is why it is so good. Horror and what some find scary is…. Varied from person to person, to say the least. Fear is subjective. DbD developers being able to give a wide range of horrors AND do them well thematically is what separates this game from the rest. So, no. Just because you find that kind of thing appealing does not mean DbD should produce only THAT thing. I would argue that Skull Merchant is a very well-executed horror, but it is niche. It is a niche pseudo-realistic horror, like Trickster. Where the scary aspect is them being regular people, but committing atrocities, as opposed to generic “flesh monsters”. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but has it’s place. Likewise, Trapper/Billy are “Texas horror”. Spirit and Sadako are “paranormal/ghost horror”, etc. all have their place being. The RANGW of DbD is what makes it so damn special

One of my favorite perks on him rn is “friends till the end” the insta teleport goes so well with the kinda short time exposed has, tho I’m sure there’s better synergies, I take it with any undetectable perk and it makes his tps genuinely deadly.

[@nvrless2034]

Almost spat out my water first seconds into the video... thank you Otz.

[@NoreMakOfThe3]

I just figured it out. I think there's a lot of really cool parts about the Unknown, but there's just a bunch of little things design wise that upset me, like the fact that the thing was dragged off mid-chase by the entity without getting the kill OR the survivor, but the sound design has been the most hit or miss with me and I couldn't figure out why until just now. It's cause they use the Singularity voice modulator on it and it makes it sound less visceral and more robotic. Alien, mutant, monster, whatever it is, the unknown isn't a robot. I really wish they had used more gasps, wheezes, and goopy noises to make the voice more monstrous, visceral and Thing-like. Still, awesome video to show off this awesome new killer!

[@sillylilstella]

Hot take: i think it would have been so much scarier if it was named "The Flesh". thats just as vague as "The Unknown", but so much more macabre in nature. Also, I love the teleportation transitions, really clean!

[@the_big_bad_reaper]

Honestly would work better with his power, the weird fleshy orifice that comes out of him also suits a killer called the flesh and not the unknown

[@Alyrael]

Yeah, I don't really like his name. That's my only real issue. He's a folklore monster, and should be named as such. Monsters like this aren't named because of things people don't know about it, they name them after what they can see, hence why Slenderman is called Slenderman. It's a tall, thin man in a suit. Or the Jersey Devil, which fit the typical description of a demon. Mothman? That's a giant, man-sized moth creature. I'd rather he be called "The Twisted" or "The Crooked", because that's what he looks like, and it sounds more akin to a real name. "The Unknown" sounds like something named in a novel or a movie, purely made up just to sound scarier.

[@the_big_bad_reaper]

@@Alyrael admittedly there is somewhat of an explanation to the reason he's isn't named traditionally in his lore, the unknown often hunts those who attempt to learn about it, the victim he stalks in the lore a women named Olivia he only begins to attempt her life when she draws an approximate depiction of what the unknown could look like and it's essentially said that he comes after her for trying to define him, so the fact he isn't named after a description makes sense since he hunts and kills those who try to give him a definitive description physical or otherwise and so we only have basic ideas of what it could be, I still agree the flesh would work better since as said that's just as none specific about it as the unknown but it explains the lack of a traditional "folklore creature" name.

[@TrulySomeone]

@@Alyrael The whole point of The Unknown is that no one knew what was causing the disappearances. Was it an ancient evil? Was it a government-created-super-bioweapon gone wrong? Or just some everyday serial killer? The Unknown is an amalgamation of the myths and stories people told to rationalize the disappearances. Whether or not that’s lazy writing is a second point (cuz it kinda is). But the gameplay feel of the killer makes everything much better.

[@Footballfan896]

[@calebpaultre1594]

Glad to see Otz's morale up with this chapter :) encouraging for the DBD community.

[@graveeking]

Something I love about his design is they've finally found a good idea for a 'half-damaged' state. When it was infection from the resident evil chapters it was sort of non-interactive - if you left them alone they'd just go crap the cure and you'd get a irrelevant notifcation from half-way across the map. The fact you're forced to STARE at him means the survivors actually has to take a big risk to fix their half-damaged state and it may not always be convient - especially if he teleports away. Also the way the camera locks onto something he can potenially teleport to when you dispell the hallucinations is great. Even if he doesn't teleport to that one - the fact he could be coming from somewhere else is scary in all the right ways. They've defintly done a good job with this killer - feels like there's a lot of potenial for play and counter-play from both sides.
