Considering the Alien Collaboration Chapter already brought us a big franchise killer in the Xenomorph it was probably hard for Behaviour to find something even better. But they absolutely did, and with Chucky comes a very interesting change that could help out one of the least played killers.
Chucky Is Coming To Dead By Daylight
The foul-mouthed doll has entered The Fog and was voiced by the original voice actor Brad Dourif. Chucky will also have a very special outfit which turns him into the Bride of Chucky, Tiffany Valentine, voiced by the legendary Jennifer Tilly. Given the size of Chucky, this new stealth killer will be played in third person. But not only that, since he's small, he can vault under pallets and through windows.
The Power Of Chucky
| Special Ability:
Hidey-Ho Mode | Chucky can enter Hidey-Ho Mode any time that its off cooldown. He becomes undetectable and generates map-wide footfalls that disorient Survivors with sounds and footprings coming from many directions. |
| Special Ability:
Slice & Dice | While in Hidey-Ho Mode, Chucky gets access to the charged Slice & Dice ability, allowing him to rush at survivors before leaping forward and performing a Slice & Dice attack. Additionally, if a Survivor vaults a window or pallet, Chucky can quickly chain a Scamper while using Slice & Dice. |
| Special Ability:
Scamper | While in Hidey-Ho Mode, Chucky can perform a Scamper through windows or under downed pallets allowing him to close on his unsuspecting prey. |
Chucky's Perks
Like every other character, Chucky will be coming with 3 unique perks.
| Hex: Two Can Play | Anytime you are stunned or blinded by any Survivor 2 times, a Dull Totem becomes a Hex Totem.
Survivors who stun or blind you are blinded for 1.5 seconds. This effect lasts as long as the related Hex Totem is standing. |
| Friends 'Til The End | You become obsessed with one Survivor. When you hook a Survivor that is not the Obsession, the Obsession becomes Exposed for 20 seconds and reveals their aura for 10 seconds. When you hook the Obsession, another random Survivor screams, reveals their position and becomes the Obsession. |
| Batteries Included | When within 12 meters of a completed generator, you have 5% Haste. This bonus lingers for 5 seconds after leaving the generator's range. |
Chucky's Lore
Charles Lee Ray, the infamous Lakeshore Strangler, was tracked down and shot after a murderous rampage. He managed to escape death by having his soul possess a Good Guys doll named Chucky through a curse.
Now Chucky didn't want to stay a Doll forever, he wanted to take the body of Andy Barclay, who was the first person he revealed his secret to. But his ancient Ritual failed, and Andy ran away into a thick, swirling mass of Fog. He realized that he has failed, but he conjured up something else, something… Bigger. Not to lose the chance for a real body, he ran after Andy and ended up in the Fog Trials.
