Dead By Daylight is celebrating its seven-year anniversary with a rerun of a time-limited event called Twisted Masquerade. The event was released a week after the Chapter 28 update, where The Singularity and Gabriel Soma were introduced. While the name might be the same as last year, the event feels completely different.

It's going to be in the game for three weeks from June 22 to July 13, 2023, featuring a ton of content including new cosmetics, offerings, items, decorations, in-game interactions, tome challenges, and much more! Everything you acquire during the event is going to stay on your account forever.

How To Unlock New Twisted Masquerade Masks

Exclusive masks are the most attractive feature of this event, and you can unlock them in various ways. First and foremost, there are 12 masks (six for killers and survivors each) that can be unlocked through the new interactable items in a trial. These items are called Invitations, and you can see them in every trial on an ornate pillar.

You won't be able to find any Invitations in a custom game, so you have to play in a public lobby to get them.

One Invitation will spawn as soon as the match starts, and it'll respawn at a different location if someone claims it or if it stays in one place for a while. Although, you won't be able to get the masks just by taking an Invitation. Once you claim it, you'll see some charges on the bottom left of your screen, right beside your power/item icon.

To get a mask, you'll need to have at least one charge here when the exit gates are powered (all generators get done) or the hatch spawns. As a killer, you'll essentially get a mask if you have one charge no matter what since you'll be in the trial until either of these things happen.

Although, as a survivor, you'll have to either finish all the generators as a team or remain the last one standing to get it. If you're sacrificed before that, you'll have to try again in the next game. To get more charges on the bottom left of your screen, you either have to get chased for 30 seconds or claim another Invitation.

If you successfully unlock a mask, you'll see it displayed at the bottom of your screen as soon as you go back to the lobby.

You won't see anything here if you get all 12 masks even if you fulfill the requirements.

Here's a list of all the characters that received a new mask this year:

Other than these free masks, you can also unlock the full outfits of Nea Karlsson and The Hillbilly by going through the Event Tome. You'll need to finish personal and community challenges in the tome to unlock the outfits. You can only progress to the next community challenge when you beat the prior one as a community.

The second page of the tome unlocks a few days after the event's release.

Finally, you can purchase brand-new event outfits for The Ghostface and Feng Min from the store using Auric Cells. You can also buy last year's earnable masks and tome outfits here. All these masks and outfits will go away when the event ends. You'll still be able to use them if you have them, but you can't earn them until the next anniversary event.

How To Use Invitation Charges In Trial

This year, Behaviour Interactive has added new mechanics that you can perform during a trial using the charges that you get by claiming the Invitation or getting chased. Keep in mind that you can only gain more charges from chases after you claim the Invitation once. Moreover, all these mechanics can only be performed while chasing or getting chased.

There's a new keybind for performing these event mechanics that you can find in your control settings.

Make sure you know what you need to press and change it if it coincides with another action.

Twisted Masquerade Survivor Mechanics

While getting chased, Survivors can perform two actions: spawn a fragile pallet or block a window for a few seconds. The spawned pallet will stay in the trial until someone drops it, but it will instantly break as soon as it drops. Essentially, you'll need to stun the killer with this pallet if you want to get value.

When it comes to the vaults, the killer won't be able to vault them while they're blocked. You and the other survivors can still easily go through these blocked vaults. To perform these actions, you have to press the required keybind when you see a purple aura on a pallet location or a nearby window.

Killers will most likely respect the fragile pallet since they know it'll instantly break, so it's recommended to not drop it instantly.

You can greed it for a few loops until the killer gets impatient and run through it.

Some killers might also have Hubris and Enduring to use this mechanic for their own benefit. Alternatively, survivors can also pallet save or use Power Struggle to get off a killer's shoulders with these pallets.

Twisted Masquerade Killer Mechanics

Killers can perform up to three actions while chasing a survivor using the Invitation charges: remotely break a pallet, reduce the stun duration, and Expose a survivor when you get Bloodlust. The first two effects are quite self-explanatory, you simply have to use a charge on a particular pallet or yourself to get the effects.

Exposing a survivor when you get Bloodlust is the most interesting mechanic of this event. Unfortunately, it's quite uncounterable on the survivor side. If you chase a survivor for 15 seconds, you get Bloodlust tier one, which is displayed on the right side of your screen. Once you get this, you'll see a purple aura surrounding the survivor you're chasing.

Using the charge on the Survivor will give them the Exposed status effect. Your normal attack can down a healthy survivor when they're Exposed, while it would only injure them otherwise. This effect is countered if the Survivor has the Endurance effect. They'll enter a Deep Wound state while injured if that's the case.

It's also much easier to get Invitation charges back on killer since you'll be chasing someone for most of your game.

New Event Offerings And Items

Apart from all the new gimmicks mentioned above, the Twisted Masquerade event also sees the return of some offerings. There's one brand-new offering called Terrormisu, and both killers and survivors can get tons of it while leveling up their bloodwebs. Upon use, it'll grant 107 percent extra Bloodpoints to everyone in the next trial.

This effect can stack if multiple people bring Terrormisu, giving you up to 535 percent Bloodpoints if everyone brings it.

If you play a role with a 100 percent Bloodpoint incentive on it, you can get up to 635 percent Bloodpoints.

Other than that, survivors can also find anniversary Flashlights, Toolboxes, and Med-Kits in their bloodwebs. All these items including the cake offering can be used even after the event ends, but you won't get them anymore, so make sure you save at least one as a souvenir.

Daily Login Rewards And Sales

Finally, you'll also be able to get some rewards simply by logging into the game every day during the event. Here's what you can get:

Other than these rewards, you can also find up to 30 percent off on certain outfits and up to 50 percent off on some characters during the event.
