All survivor items and add-ons in Dead By Daylight

This guide will show you all the items and the add-ons you can collect in Dead by Daylight.

Items in Dead by Daylight give survivors an edge as they try to escape from the killer. Players have the option to bring one of five different items, each with their own unique uses and add-ons. Add-ons make the items stronger and give them different bonus affects. Utilizing different combinations of add-ons can help you pick the best playstyle.

Recommended Videos

Items are unlocked in the Bloodweb. Be sure to pick out which ones you will need as the higher you rank up, the more likely the Entity will consume items in the web.

You can equip items in the Loadout menu. Each item has two slots for add-ons. If a player survives and leaves the area with the item they originally brought, they will keep the item. However, it will lose all add-ons.
