Each Killer in Dead By Daylight brings their own unique abilities, but these murderous monsters are the most difficult for players to master.

While there were numerous complaints about the layout of the new user interface, the change that attracted the most criticism revolved around the character selection menu, which previously contained all of your own Dead by daylight Survivors and Killers at the top of the menu screen. However, following the release of update 8.1.0, custom characters are now spread out between all available characters, which has caused some fans to note that the cluttered character selection screen feels more like a DLC shop.

It also states that players will be notified of these upcoming UI changes once plans are finalized.

Fans aren’t happy with Dead by Daylight’s response to UI concerns
