[Updated] Dead by Daylight 'Sadako Well Charm' unattainable or bugged, issue being looked into (workaround inside)

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on March 26, 2022) follows:

In the world of online multiplayer games, Dead by Daylight has marked its presence as a title that does something completely different compared to its competition.

When the majority of gaming studios were trying to jump in on the Battle Royale bandwagon, Behaviour Interactive developed a 1v4 asymmetrical title.

But as is the case with every online multiplayer title, players have reported bugs such as the ability to see killers using Object of Obsession and Blood Pact and broken matchmaking system.

Having said that, Dead by Daylight players are now reporting that the Sadako Well Charm is bugged. Many said that the charm haven’t received the charm even though they have the DLC for days now.

A bunch of players are saying that the Sadako Well Charm is unattainable while others say the game has rewarded players randomly. Generic solutions such as verifying files from Steam and restarting the game are not helping.

Here are some reports (1,2,3,4,5) from Dead by Daylight players who still haven’t received the Sadako Well Charm.

So…how do we get the Sadako charm? I feel like this was just breezed over, I still don’t have the charm! Any tips on how to get it? It doesn’t help that the devs don’t explain anything 🙁

Like seriously, I want that charm so bad on my switch because I love it. Yet, I can’t figure out how to get it. Every single theory I’ve heard has been debunked. Get one or both the new characters – people who don’t have either got the charm Get one or both the adepts – same as #1 Watch the intro video all the way through – on my playstation I skipped it and still got the charm Log in every day for 7 days – I’ve done that and didn’t get it I know I’m probably missing some, but those are all the ways I’ve heard, and all have been debunked. So how are you supposed to get this charm? At this point I really think it’s luck based because so far, that’s the only thing that COULD be true.

Fortunately, Dead by Daylight developers have commented on the matter and said that are looking into the issue where some players are not getting the Sadako Well Charm. However, they did not share any timeframe on when the problem will be resolved.

Thanks everyone for the information on this. We are aware of an issue in which some players have not received the Sadako Well Charm and it’s something that we are looking into. Thank you for your continued patience whilst we resolve this issue.

Moreover, we came across a workaround that seems to be helping many. It involves logging off from the game and watch race Teaser.

I got it already. Logged off for a while, Came back, Saw the weird slug race Teaser thing, And it popped up for me.

We hope Dead by Daylight developers soon reward players with the Sadako Well Charm. When they do, we will be updating this space to reflect the same so keep checking PiunikaWeb.

07:00 pm (IST): Dead by Daylight support has informed the players that they have deployed an update and those who should have received the Charm will receive it now.

Just to let folks know…we’ve done an update on our side so that those who should have received the Charm, will have received it now. The Easter Egg itself is still secret – in as much I’m not saying how it’s gained, but those who’ve made the requirements should restart and then they should get the charm in their inventory.
