Explained"},"content":{"rendered":"
Dead by Daylight has an ever-growing fan community, causing discussion about every aspect of the game to pop up online. Many players mention playing the game as part of a “SWF,” or you might have heard a killer player complaining about them or giving tips about how to effectively combat them every now and then.<\/p>\n
So, what is a SWF in Dead by Daylight?<\/strong> In this article, we’ll explain exactly what this means.<\/p>\n In DBD terms, SWF<\/strong> is an acronym that’s short for “survive with friends.<\/strong>” Surviving with friends means playing the game with a team of survivors who you already know rather than partying up with a team of strangers.<\/p>\n So, why are SWFs so important to Dead by Daylight fans, and why are they such a hot topic in the community? Dead by Daylight is more challenging without communication, so players partying up with their friends tend to be more effective players than those who don’t. After all, it’s a lot easier to know where the killer is when your friend is shouting their location to you across the mic.<\/p>\n Some killers find SWF teams more challenging<\/strong> to play against; good communication might render perks that make the killer Undetectable useless since teammates can just convey the killer’s location verbally.<\/p>\n To create a SWF, just select ‘Play as Survivor’ from the left-hand menu. Once you’re in the lobby, you can press the ‘plus’ button in any of the empty slots in the lobby to invite a friend. Just select the plus button next to their name on the list, and they’ll receive the invite. Next, you’ll receive a notification if they approve the request, and they’ll appear in your lobby.<\/p>\n If you’re looking for friends to play in a SWF with, you may want to check out the game’s Subreddit or one of the many fan Discord servers dedicated to the game.<\/p>\n As we mentioned, some killers find that SWF teams are more challenging than solo survivors to go against thanks to their boosted communication and ability to use teamwork.<\/p>\n You may be able to identify a SWF team if a survivor team all have similar names or are wearing identical outfits on the same characters (though of course, not every team with matching cosmetics<\/a> is a SWF).<\/p>\nWhat Is A SWF In Dead By Daylight?<\/h2>\n
