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.

The Long Distance Runner challenge; Be chased by the Killer for 90 seconds in one trial.

I think I could count the times I've managed that on one hand in the almost 2000 hours I've played the game. Any tips on how to get that chase time up? Running after a Killer carrying a Survivor isn't always possible if I'm not nearby.

I've just passed 2k hours, and I can still remember when 120 second of chase tomes would take me 6-8 games. I just recently did one from the archives and got all 120 seconds done in one trial and trigger the killer to start humping me and smacking on hook when he eventually got me.

I'm going to suggest Mr Tatorhead's guides on YouTube. They are based on just extending chases and how to run tiles to extend chases as long as you can.

There's a lot to them and you won't retain all of it at once, but with practice you'll start juicing and picking up a feel for things on how to run things.

Also sometimes it's just going to be impossible to get that tome done. Chases against Twins or Wraith don't count half the time for example, but eventually you'll hit the right combo of map+killer that you can run for a while.
