Dead by Daylight has a lot of different and varied killers to choose from, with each killer having not only unique perks, but also perks that you can unlock for any other killers called teachable perks. Not only that but there are also perks that are available for all killers, which far outnumber the unique and teachable perks of a single killer. Add the fact that there are also a dozen survivors to choose from with their own set of perks and you might get confused about what are the good perks out there. Then add the fact that there has been a recent update that overhauls perks. As a consequence, people are scrambling to see if their builds are still good. In this guide, we’ll show you a more updated build for the Artist.
