Best Dead by Daylight mods, listed

As long as they are cosmetic only.

If you want to spice up Dead by Daylight, you might be interested in mods. Believe it or not, mods are allowed in DbD—well, some of them. Here’s a list of the best safe mods for Dead by Daylight.

Which mods are allowed in Dead by Daylight?

As long as the mod doesn’t give you a gameplay advantage, you should have no problem using it in DbD. Here are the mods that are allowed:

  • Skin mods
  • Animation mods
  • Asset mods
  • Sound mods (used in the game menu, not during matches)

Which mods aren’t allowed in Dead by Daylight?

If you use any of the following mods, you’re looking at a temporary or even a permanent ban from DbD:

  • Aimbots
  • Mods that highlight items
  • Sound mods (for example, a mod that lets you hear Survivors or the Killer easier)
  • Invincibility mods
  • Infinite item mods
  • Mods that speed up the blood web progression
  • Other gameplay-enhancing mods

Essentially, if it gives you an advantage during games, it’s probably against the Behaviours ToS and will get you banned. 

Best mods in DbD

Here are some of our favorite mods in DbD. 

Survivors All in One

If you’re nostalgic about the classic Dwight, Claudette, Meg, Jake, and Nea models and skins, then this mod brings them back. It doesn’t even change anything in the game; it just uses old game files. In fact, most other skin mods should be safe as long as you don’t try anything ridiculous, like playing as Shrek.

Silent Bloodweb

If you think the Bloodweb is too loud when leveling it up, you aren’t the only one. With this mod, you can completely silence the Bloodweb noises. Level up your Survivors and Killers in peace without all the noise.

Lightsaber Flashlight

This mod turns your flashlight into a lightsaber without the blade. While you won’t be able to fight the Killers like a Jedi or a Sith, you can still make your flashlight look cooler. You can even change the colors of your light. May the force be with you!

Bonk sound

If you enjoy pallet-stunning the Killer, then this is the sound for you. With the bonk sound, turn every chase into a slapstick comedy. I’m pretty sure even the Killer will appreciate it.

Backflip animation

The Backflip animation replaces the default Come Here animation with an awkward backflip. This is a dead giveaway if you want to let other Survivors and the Killer know you’re using mods. Thankfully, it’s pretty harmless and should give you a few good laughs in the endgame lobby.

Graffiti Locker Skin

If you’re tired of the same old boring lockers, the Graffiti Locker Skin is a nice one to have. Lockers are already very noticeable in the game, so it’s not really a game-changer. With this, at least you’ll be hiding in a fun place instead of the same old red locker.

Stranger Things Lobby Theme

If you’re sick of the same old lobby theme, you can change it with this mod. There are a lot of different themes you can pick from, but we chose the Stranger Things theme, since we already have characters from the show in the game, so it perfectly blends in.
