Dead by Daylightis the pulse-increasing game which has two ways of winning if you play as a survivor. The first is through teamwork and fixing five generators on any given map, and the second is to access a hatch when all of the others players have been hooked by the killer. Which way you choose to approach the game is up to you, but today we are here to tell you the locations for all of the hatches so you can plan your escape route if all else should fail.
Where does the Hatch spawn in Dead by Daylight?
Of courseDead by Daylighthas more than one map to play on, meaning that there are multiple hatch spawning locations. There are main ports of call on the maps for the hatch to spawn to, but in some cases they will be randomized each time you play, so you may have to go hunting in more than one spot to find your exit!
The Autohaven Wreckers Map Hatches
Azarov’s Resting Place
In terms of randomization, this particular map can be full of it. Your best chance with this one is to check places on the outer perimeter, keeping to the edge of the map. A hatch will often spawn nearGeneratorsorTreeswhich are bundled together. It is a map where you do have to keep a more keen eye out!
Blood Lodge
In the case of Blood Lodge there will only be one hatch that spawns. Head to the bottom of the map where theLodgeis and make your way down the set of stairs. Easy! If you can make it…
Gas Haven
This hatch is another randomized one which likes to spawn nearGenerators, and once again it is best to go searching on the outskirts of the map.
Wretched Shop
For this one the hatch spawning is more reliable. Head round to the back of the shop and you will notice aTree and Two Barrels. It is there that you will be able to find the hatch. Considering this is a stationary spawn point it is best to memorize it just in case you’re the last survivor.
Wrecker’s Yard
Unfortunately this one is another randomized one, and the difference is that it doesn’t just stick to the outer rim of the map. It once again likes to spawn nearTreesbut can also be found inside ofBuildings, so you’ll have to be very sneaky and pay attention to your surroundings for this one.
The Backwater Swamp Map Hatches
The Pale Rose
In this map the hatch can once again turn up in aBuilding, mainly on theSecond Floor. There isn’t a particular pattern to this one as it is extremely random. If it’s not inside the building then it has most likely appeared on the outskirts of the map.
Grim Pantry
Much like the one above, this one is a very randomized and harder to pinpoint. One difference, however, is that it can often spawn more centrally on the map. So if it’s time to get down the hatch and you need to be quick, head to theCenterto try your luck.
The Bonfire Crotus Prenn Asylum Map Hatches
Disturbed Ward
Much like in the Souls series, bonfires seem to be the haven for this map. The spawn locations are still very random, but you will usually be able to find the hatch next to aBonfire.
Father Campbell’s Chapel
On this map there is aShack, you will want to mark that as a reference point seeing as the hatch is prone to spawning there. If in a particular playthrough it isn’t there, then the good ol’Edgeof the map and next toGeneratorsapproach comes in handy.

The Coldwind Farms Map Hatch
Fractured Cowshed
This map has a very noticeable crash site which is caused by aBlimp, this is a great marker for where the hatch usually spawns as it likes to appearNorth/North Eastof it. Slightly less randomization for this one!
The Thompson House
This one has a more reliable spawn process as it doesn’t change. Make your way to the backend of the house and go to theLower Back Corner of the Porch. Voila!
Torment Creek
For this one head to theHalf Torn Down Building, you’ll be able to find the hatch in there.
Rancid Abattoir
The piggies know where the hatch is! Make your way to the room where there areHanging Dead Pigs(lovely we know). This is a common place for the hatch to spawn, but if it should be the occasion where it doesn’t, then you will most likely find it at one of theExitsnear aFence.
Rotten Fields
This is a map with another really random spawn system. It is also a bit tricky as you have to wade your way through the crops to find the hatch. If in doubt, head through theFieldand check theExitsas this is usually where you will find one. But, there may be a little more time spent looking in this playthrough.
The Gideon Meat Plant Map Hatch
The Game
This hatch unfortunately has a lower success rate. Most of the time it will spawn at the veryBottom of the Stairs, like all the way down. However, if it isn’t there then there’s a good chance you will get cornered and caught by the killer.
The Grave of Glenvale Map Hatch
Dead Dawg Saloon
As with the other really randomized spawns, check theEdgesand byGenerators. Failing that check theCenterof the saloon.
The Hawkins National Library Map Hatch
The Underground Complex
You will only find the hatch on theLowest Levelof the complex. Scout around nearGeneratorsand at theEdges, but watch out for the killer.
The Lery’s Memorial Institute Map Hatch
Treatment Theatre
For this one the hatch usually spawns in theCorners of the Corridors, it is another random one though so might take some hunting down. Just avoid being hunted down yourself!
The MacMillan Estate Map Hatches
Coal Tower
This building will be very noticeable, as it pretty much sticks out of the map, it is also quite audible as it creaks when you walk by it. There is a two-story building next to the coal tower, head there and you will find the hatch around theWheelhouse.
Groaning Storehouse
This building is another noticeably big one that has a lot of exits and entrances. The hatch will usually appear in or just outside the perimeter of theMain Building.
The Ironworks of Misery
This location is one that killers love to corner you in, so be careful when finding the hatch. On theFirst Floorthere will beTwo Pipes, in theMiddleof these is where the hatch will spawn. If you get lost just remember that it is the mine with the beating heart.
Shelter Woods
Look for theMassive Treeon the map, like the really massive one! For this one you will need to check the area surrounding the cabin. If by chance it hasn’t spawned there then once again head to theEdgesof the map, the hatch will usually be right on the outskirts.
Suffocation Pit
On this map there is a ramp, and near it you will see aBig House. Head there and go to theRearof the house, as the hatch will spawn there.
The Ormond Map Hatch
Mount Ormond Resort
This is definitely a generator oriented spawn point which is randomized. Check near all theGenerators, but be careful as the killer will be able to hear these spawn points more easily due to the noise generated by the… generator.
The Silent Hill Map Hatch
Midwich Elementary School
The bad news here is that the spawn points are really random for this map, the worse news is that they can also spawn under bits ofFlesh. We know… Make sure to check every piece you come across and hope for the best!
The Yamaoka Estate Map Hatch
Family Residence
Head to the part of the map whereBamboo Canesgrow near the low concrete walls. It’s in this area that the hatch will most likely spawn, if in doubt just head back to theCenterof the map.
