The Core Mechanic: Teachables and the Bloodweb

Alright, let's get down to the nitty-gritty of how perk unlocking actually works in Dead by Daylight. The key term you need to know here is 'Teachable Perks'. Every survivor and killer in the game has three unique perks that are tied to their character. When you level up a character through the Bloodweb using Bloodpoints, you'll eventually encounter these unique perks on their Bloodweb. Once you reach a certain Bloodweb level (usually level 30, 40, and 50 for the unique perks), you'll have the opportunity to unlock and purchase these perks using Bloodpoints. Now, here's the crucial part: once you've unlocked a Teachable Perk on a specific character, it becomes available to all your other survivors and killers in the general perk pool. This is the fundamental way you unlock perks for other survivors in DBD. You don't directly 'give' a perk from one survivor to another. Instead, you 'teach' it to the game's system by unlocking it on its original owner. Think of it like learning a skill – once you master it, you can then apply that knowledge or skill to other situations or people. The Bloodweb is your training ground, and Bloodpoints are your tuition fees. So, when you see a perk you really want on, say, Meg Thomas, and you're playing Dwight, you can't just transfer it over. You have to go to Meg, level her up, and unlock that teachable perk for her first. Only then will it start appearing randomly on Dwight's (or any other survivor's) Bloodweb. It requires dedication, a lot of Bloodpoint farming, and a bit of RNG luck as you progress through the Bloodwebs of your chosen characters. But the payoff is immense – a fully customizable roster where every survivor can potentially run the build you've envisioned.

The Grind is Real: Earning Bloodpoints

So, we know we need to level up characters to get those Teachable Perks, and leveling up requires Bloodpoints. This is where the real grind of Dead by Daylight comes into play, guys. There's no shortcut here; you've got to earn those points. The most straightforward way to farm Bloodpoints is by simply playing the game. Every action you take – unhooking allies, healing, repairing generators, chasing the killer, sacrificing survivors, hitting survivors, and so on – earns you points in different categories. The Devs have made it so that the more you engage with the game's objectives and mechanics, the more points you get. For instance, as a survivor, focusing on generator repairs and taking objectives will net you a good chunk of points. Helping your teammates with heals and safe unhooks is also crucial. Don't forget about surviving the trial, as that provides a decent bonus! As a killer, successful chases, hooking survivors, and disrupting their progress are key. The maximum Bloodpoints you can earn per match is capped at 8,000, before any add-ons or offering bonuses. This means you need to play efficiently and aim for high scores in each trial. To boost your Bloodpoint earnings even further, keep an eye out for Bloodpoint offerings. These are items you can find in the Bloodweb or sometimes receive through events, and they significantly increase the Bloodpoints you earn at the end of a trial. Some offerings give a flat bonus, while others offer a percentage increase. You can even stack multiple offerings for massive gains! Using Bloodpoint bonus add-ons on the killer or survivor you're playing can also be a game-changer. These items, often found in the Bloodweb, offer passive bonuses to your score. Finally, don't underestimate the power of daily rituals. These are specific tasks given to you each day, and completing them offers a substantial Bloodpoint reward. Prioritize these if you're looking for a quick boost. The key takeaway here is consistency. Playing regularly, focusing on objectives, using Bloodpoint offerings wisely, and completing daily rituals will steadily fill your Bloodpoint coffers, enabling you to level up those characters and unlock those precious Teachable Perks for everyone.

Unlocking Teachable Perks: A Step-by-Step Guide

Now that we understand the why (Teachable Perks) and the how (Bloodpoints), let's walk through the actual process of unlocking a perk for another survivor. It’s a pretty straightforward cycle, but it requires patience. First things first, identify the perk you want to unlock. Let's say you saw a killer perk called 'Hex: Ruin' on The Hag, and you really want to use it on The Executioner. Or maybe you saw 'Borrowed Time' on Bill, and you want it on Feng Min. The first step is to know which survivor or killer originally owns that perk. You can easily find this information online through various DBD wikis or databases, or by simply hovering over the perk in the character's Bloodweb. Once you know the original owner, select that character in the lobby. This is the character you will be using to acquire the Teachable Perk. Now, it's time to start leveling up this character through their Bloodweb. You'll be spending your hard-earned Bloodpoints here. As you progress through the Bloodweb, you'll see nodes containing items, add-ons, perks, and offerings. Keep an eye out for the specific perk you're aiming for. The Teachable Perks typically appear at Bloodweb levels 30, 40, and 50. Level 30 unlocks the first Teachable Perk, Level 40 unlocks the second, and Level 50 unlocks the third. So, for 'Hex: Ruin', you'd need to level up The Hag until you reach level 30, 40, or 50, depending on which tier of the perk you want to unlock first. Once you reach the node containing the Teachable Perk, purchase it using Bloodpoints. This is the moment of truth! You've successfully unlocked the perk for that character. However, remember, this doesn't immediately put it on your other survivors. The perk is now 'in the pool' and can start appearing on the Bloodwebs of all other survivors (or killers, if it was a killer perk). So, for our example, 'Hex: Ruin' is now a potential perk that can appear on The Executioner's Bloodweb. You'll need to continue leveling up The Executioner (or any other survivor you want it on) through their Bloodwebs. As you spend more Bloodpoints on their Bloodweb, you'll eventually encounter the perk node again. Purchase the perk again from their Bloodweb to equip it on that specific character. The more you level up a character, the higher the chance of their Teachable Perks appearing on their Bloodweb, and the more likely you are to find them. Repeat this process for every survivor you want to have access to that perk. It’s a multi-step process, but breaking it down makes it much more manageable. Identify, Level Up Original Owner, Unlock Teachable, Level Up Target Survivor, Purchase Perk. That’s your roadmap!

Prestige: The Ultimate Perk Unlock Strategy

Alright, we've talked about unlocking Teachable Perks, but there's a whole 'nother level to this game, and that's Prestige. If you're serious about unlocking perks for all your survivors and want to do it efficiently, you absolutely need to understand Prestige. So, what is it? Prestige is essentially a way to reset a character's Bloodweb back to level 1, but in return, you get some sweet cosmetic rewards and, more importantly for our discussion, an increased chance for Teachable Perks to appear on all your characters' Bloodwebs. There are three Prestige levels: P1, P2, and P3. Each level requires you to reset a character at level 50. When you Prestige a character, you gain a permanent +3% chance for their Teachable Perks to appear on all your characters' Bloodwebs. This bonus stacks! So, if you get one character to P1, you get a +3% bonus. P2 gives you +6%, and P3 gives you a massive +9% bonus. This means if you Prestige all your characters to P3, you'll have a +27% chance for any Teachable Perk to show up on any character's Bloodweb. That's HUGE! Think about it: you're grinding Bloodpoints to level up characters anyway. Instead of just hitting level 50 and stopping, you can choose to 'Prestige' them. This means sacrificing all their unlocked items, add-ons, offerings, and perks, and starting their Bloodweb over. But the trade-off is that permanent boost to perk rarity across your entire roster. The strategy here is to focus on one character at a time, max them out to level 50, get their Teachable Perks unlocked, and then consider Prestiging them. You don't have to Prestige immediately after unlocking the perks. Many players will unlock all the Teachable Perks on a character first, then decide if they want to Prestige them for the bonus. The ultimate goal for perk collectors is to get every survivor and killer to P3. This ensures that the rarest perks have the highest possible chance of spawning on any Bloodweb you open, saving you countless Bloodpoints and frustration in the long run. It’s a significant time investment, yes, but it dramatically speeds up the process of getting the perks you want on your favorite characters. It’s the closest thing to a 'cheat code' for perk acquisition in DBD.

The 'Random Perk' Factor: RNG and Patience

We've covered the mechanics, the grinding, and the Prestige system, but there's one more crucial element that dictates how to unlock perks for other survivors in DBD: Random Number Generation, or RNG. You see, even after you've unlocked a Teachable Perk on its original owner, it doesn't automatically appear on every other survivor's Bloodweb. It becomes an available perk, meaning it can now spawn. But whether it actually spawns on a specific Bloodweb node is up to the dice roll of the game. This is where patience really comes into play, guys. You might unlock a perk on Character A, and then immediately find it on Character B's level 10 Bloodweb. Or, you might spend millions of Bloodpoints trying to get that specific perk to show up on Character C's Bloodweb, only for it to appear on the very last node of their level 50 Bloodweb. There’s no guaranteed way to force a specific perk to appear on demand once it’s teachable. You can increase your chances by leveling up characters extensively and by utilizing the Prestige bonus (remember that +27% if everyone is P3?), but you still have to contend with the randomness. Some players try to 'flush out' their Bloodwebs. The idea is to buy everything else on a character's Bloodweb – items, add-ons, offerings, and even perks you don't want – to try and force the desired perk to appear. This can be an expensive and time-consuming strategy, and it’s not always effective, especially with the sheer number of perks now in the game. The most consistent and recommended approach is to focus on leveling up characters steadily and opening their Bloodwebs. Don't get discouraged if you don't see the perk you want right away. Keep playing, keep earning Bloodpoints, and keep opening those Bloodwebs. The perk will eventually show up. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Sometimes, you'll get lucky and find multiple desired perks in one Bloodweb. Other times, you'll go through dozens of Bloodwebs without seeing that one crucial perk. Embrace the RNG, focus on the process, and celebrate the small victories when that desired perk finally pops up. It makes the eventual unlock feel that much more rewarding!
