The Cannibal Power And Perks in Dead by Daylight<\/h2>\n
Before we delve into the best builds for The Cannibal, let’s look at this killer’s power and teachable perks so you know what you’re working with. First, here are Leatherface’s three teachable perks:<\/p>\n
\n \n Perk: Knock Out

\n\nDying Survivors’ auras are invisible to other Survivors when they aren’t nearby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n
\n Perk: Barbecue And Chili

\n\n\n\nAfter hooking a Survivor, all other Survivors’ who aren’t nearby have their auras temporarily revealed. Each time a Survivor is hooked for the first time you are awarded with bonus Bloodpoints at the end of the trial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n
\n Perk: Franklin’s Demise
<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\nYour successful basic attacks make the Survivors drop their item on impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
Power: Bubba’s Chainsaw<\/h3>\n
The Cannibal’s power is called Bubba’s Chainsaw<\/strong>. The in-game description reads as follows:<\/p>\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
- An incredibly powerful and heavy Chainsaw which sank its teeth into countless victims.<\/li>\n
- Press and hold the power button to charge the Chainsaw.<\/li>\n
- Start a timed sweeping attack upon activation.<\/li>\n
- Can hit multiple targets in one Chainsaw charge.<\/li>\n

The Cannibal can use his chainsaw to down survivors instantly, leaving them unable to fight back. This makes it a lot easier to down survivors in open areas, but you can also use Bubba’s chainsaw to zone survivors out of areas while looping.<\/p>\n
Because of the way Bubba’s chainsaw ability works, there are many different ways you can play this killer. Here are just a few top Leatherface builds you can try if you want to get the most value out of his ability.<\/p>\n
Beginner Cannibal Build<\/h2>\n
If you are just getting started as a new Cannibal main, it might be hard to decide which perks to use. Using this loadout on Leatherface as a beginner will help you down survivors and find your footing.<\/p>\n
\n
- Jolt<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Barbecue and Chili<\/strong> (The Cannibal)<\/li>\n
- Whispers<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Franklin’s Demise<\/strong> (The Cannibal)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
All of the perks included in this build are general perks, meaning they either come by default with The Cannibal or can be found in the Bloodweb of all killers without prestiging or reaching level 50<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Whispers and Barbecue and Chili will both help you find survivors; Whispers helps you navigate throughout the match and ensure you don’t end up in any dead zones, while BBQ will show you survivors’ auras after you earn a hook. Meanwhile, Jolt provides you with generator slowdown once you earn a down, and Franklin’s Demise robs survivors of their Med-kits, Flashlights, Toolboxes, and other items.<\/p>\n

The Cannibal might be known for his chainsaw, but that makes it even more fun to catch survivors off guard by beating them down with your basic attack. This build is centered around doing just that. When using this build, you should use your chainsaw to locate survivors and bait them out,<\/p>\n
