8 April 2024 - We've updated the page to reflect any recent changes to perks and abilities that might impact the best Chucky builds in Dead by Daylight.

Dead by Daylight's newest killer is Chucky, and this doll is ready to play. Here's your guide to his power, perks, and the best builds for this killer.

Chucky Power And Perks

To pick out the best perks for Chucky you'll first need to understand his power and how it works so you can think about how the game's many perks may be able to complement it. You should also learn more about The Good Guy's teachable perks since they come with the killer by default and can be used together to earn Adept Chucky. Let's go over all of The Good Guy's perks:

Hex: Two Can Play Anytime

Any time you are stunned or blinded by a Survivor 4/3/2 times, if there is no Hex Totem associated with this Perk, a Dull Totem becomes a Hex Totem. While the Hex Totem stands, Survivors who stun or blind you get blinded for 1.5 seconds.

Friends 'Til the End

When you hook a Survivor that is not the Obsession, the Obsession becomes exposed for 20 seconds and reveals their aura for 6/8/10 seconds. When you hook the Obsession, another random Survivor screams and reveals their position and becomes the Obsession.

Batteries Included

When within 12 meters of a completed Generator, you have 5% Haste. The movement speed bonus lingers for 1/3/5 seconds when you are no longer in range.

Power: Hidey-Ho Mode

The Good Guy has two separate modes he can switch between; Normal Mode and Hidey-Ho Mode. Due to his short height, The Good Guy also has a fixed third-person camera positioned above and behind him, giving the player a better view of his surroundings. He is also much shorter than other Killers making him very stealthy, however he leaves fading footprints behind as he walks.

• SPECIAL ABILITY: Hidey-Ho Mode Press the Active Ability button to enter Hidey-Ho Mode for 20 seconds. While in this mode, the Killer has no Terror Radius, and "distraction" footprints and audio are spawned all across the map.
• SPECIAL ATTACK: Slice & Dice While in Hidey-Ho Mode, press and hold the Special Attack button to charge up a Slice & Dice Attack. When charged, sprint forward at high speed, triggering an attack at the end (or whenever the Special Attack button is released).
• SPECIAL ABILITY: Scamper While in Hidey-Ho Mode, when you are near a vault or pallet, press the Interaction button to scamper through it quickly without breaking it.

With this build, you can inflict confusion upon survivors by causing a fake terror radius and making your Undetectable ability even more impactful and disorienting using Dark Devotion. You'll also be able to inflict Blindness quite often.
