Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer game based on classic horror movies of the ‘Slasher’ genre where a group of survivors face a killer.

In Dead by Daylight, you take on the role of the killer or one of the survivors who must escape. The game offers a wide selection of ‘killers’ where you will find several of the most iconic figures of horror sagas.

Both killers and survivors have their own strengths and weaknesses. In the case of survivors, their abilities are meant to help them escape the killer.

For instance, survivors have special perks like ‘Object of Obsession’ and ‘Blood Pact’. However, it seems that the combined effect of these two perks is breaking the game.

According to multiple reports, many Dead by Daylight players are taking advantage of a wallhack exploit where they can see the killers even through walls using the ‘Object of Obsession’ and ‘Blood Pact’ perks.

The Dead by Daylight wallhack exploit puts ‘killer’ role players at a great disadvantage, as survivors will always be aware of their movements. So, it’s very easy for them to escape (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16).

BLOOD PACT AND OBJECT GIVE SURVIVORS WALLHACKS OF THE KILLER AT ALL TIMES

Using object and bloodpact allows survivors to have wallhacks of the killer at all times, i played a match of dbd and considered myself pretty good but i noticed that none of my mindgames worked and survivors somehow knew my every move. at the endgame i noticed one survivor was a streamer so i decided to check them out and saw in their gameplay the exploit everyone was using.

The combination of the Dead by Daylight ‘Object of Obsession’ and ‘Blood Pact’ perks produces a persistent aura around the killer. The aura is visible even through walls if you play as a survivor.

these perks make all the survivors see an aura of killer. I linked the demonstration of desrcibed abuse. Played two games as a killer against such abusers and it is unbarable.

However, the exploit also carries a risk to those who use it. Basically, the permanent activation of the aura around the killer requires the survivor to remain injured throughout the game.

That said, players are demanding developers to disable or nerf ‘Object of Obsession’ and ‘Blood Pact’ perks effects as soon as possible. The game is currently ‘broken’ and will remain so until the developers take action on it.

Related threads reportedly deleted from the support forum

Many players are reporting the issue both on social platforms and on support forums. However, many of the threads about the bug are being deleted, according to reports.
