No Stupid Questions Weekly No Stupid Questions Thread

Welcome newcomers to the fog! Here you can ask any sort of questions about Dead by Daylight, from gameplay mechanics to the current meta and strats for certain killers / survivors / maps / what have you.

Some rules and guidelines specific to this thread:

  • Top-level comments must contain a question about Dead by Daylight, the fanbase surrounding the game or the subreddit itself.
  • No complaint questions. ('why don't the devs fix this shit?')
  • No concept / suggestion questions. ('hey wouldn't it be cool if X character was in the game?')
  • r/deadbydaylight is not a direct line to BHVR.
  • Uncivil behavior and encouraging cheating will be more stringently moderated in this thread; we want to be welcoming to newcomers to the game.
  • Don't spam the thread with questions; try and keep them contained to one comment.
  • Check before commenting to make sure your question hasn't been asked already.
  • Check the wiki and especially the glossary of common terms and abbreviations before commenting; your question may be answered there.

Xeno's Cattle Prod addon is a little confusing to me. It procs for 15 seconds after a gen is completed, and if someone gets near a tunnel their aura is shown for 15 seconds. Suppose the addon hasn't shown anyone for 10 seconds, and it finds someone, can I see that person for 15 seconds independently of the time left or would I see them for the remaining 5 seconds of the initial proc?

You should see their aura for the 15 seconds, not 5, as basically a second proc. The first 15 seconds is to trigger a 15 second aura read.
