Dead by Daylightis celebrating its fifth anniversary/birthday which is exciting! As a gift for the game approaching its half decade mark, Behaviour Interactive have made it so players can gain a crown whilst playing which you’re able to wear with horrific pride. So, here’s how to get the crown during theDead by Daylightanniversary event.

What Do You Do to Qualify?

The first thing that is worthy of note is that the crown can only be obtained by originalDead by Daylightcharacters, such as Dwight Fairfield and Claudette Morel etc. This goes for both killers and survivors.

So, if you play any of your matches using licensed content that belongs to a movie franchise or TV show it will not pop up. This means, no using Freddy, Michael Myers, Jason or the Demogorgon amongst others.

If you’re able to’t quite remember who came in the original base game, check theWikifor confirmation.

How to Get Crowns

Crowns are available by playing as either the killer or the survivor in trials. It is not quite as easy as just escaping/winning a match, however, as you will need to go one step further. When you have found a crown you will have to either kill all players as theGrotesque Psychopathor escape as theHopeless Victim.

The locations of the pedestals for the crowns are randomized, so you will have to go searching for one in all corners of the map. Once one has been picked up by another player, a new one will spawn in a once again random place. You will then have to escape with the crown so that it can be unlocked in theCustomization Menu.

Once you have successfully got a crown, head to the customization menu and select the survivor/killer that you completed the challenge with. You will then be able to select it in theHead Slotfor your chosen character.
