•Budgeting: Plan your Bloodpoints and Shards. Decide if you want to spend on perks, add-ons, or cosmetics.
•Theme Builds: Create themed builds for fun or to match certain events or your mood.
•Efficiency: Focus on unlocking teachable perks first if you're aiming for competitive play, then move to cosmetics.
•Sales and Events: Keep an eye out for sales or special events where cosmetics might be cheaper or available through in-game challenges.
By leveraging these customization options, you can tailor your "Dead by Daylight" experience to reflect your personal style or strategic preferences, making each match not only a test of skill but also a showcase of your character's unique look and build.
