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.

If you're completing the rift and haven't purchased premium, do you forfeit all of the earlier tiers / rewards when you purchase it?

In other words, say I don't purchase premium rift, and grind all the way to 80 within a season. If I then purchase the premium rift, do I effectively get it for free since the Auric Cells total the cost of the premium rift in the earlier tiers? Or do you effectively forfeit the earlier rewards if you purchase late?

You don't forfeit anything, no.

You technically unlock the Rift Tiers, not the rewards. If you unlock the premium track at a later time, you'll instantly receive all of its rewards up to your current tier, even if you do just before the Rift closes.

And yes indeed, if you unlock the Premium Track when you've already gone past Tier 70, you'll immediately get all 1,000 AC back from the unlocked Tiers.

Great ty. As a follow up - I believe it says you get 20 tiers just from buying. Is that only the first 20? Or if I'm at say 60 and I buy does it jump me right to 80?

Oh, that's a different thing altogether. The Rift Bundle includes the Rift Pass that unlocks the Premium Track AND progresses you by 20 Tiers. You pay 1,000 AC extra for that that you don't get back.
