Downloadable Content

**Downloadable Content**, also known as *"DLCs"*, add additional content to *Dead by Daylight*.

As of date, there are **33** available DLCs, with some being free and some being paid.
There are also several exclusive DLCs that cannot be obtained from any Store.

## Overview

DLCs add new Characters to *Dead by Daylight* and are often, but not always, accompanied by the Developers adding a new Map, themed after the DLC content, to the Base Game.

These DLCs include:

* **30** Chapters, released every 3 months, add a new Killer **AND** a new Survivor.
	+ To date, the following Chapters have been an exception to that rule:
		- CHAPTER 12: Ghost Face® and CHAPTER 21: Hellraiser™ added just a new Killer.
		- CHAPTER 13: Stranger Things, CHAPTER 20: Resident Evil, CHAPTER 25: Resident Evil™: PROJECT W, and CHAPTER 27: Tools of Torment added a Killer and two Survivors instead of one.
* **6** Half-Chapters, sometimes released in-between two Chapters, add **EITHER** a new Killer **OR** a new Survivor.
* **6** Clothing Packs, which added additional Customisation Options (obsolete since the introduction of the In-Game Store).
* **1** Original Soundtrack featuring music from the game.
* **2** Character Expansion Packs, released sparingly, which unlock a selection of existing Characters.

There are also several non-available DLCs that were exclusive to certain Streamers, Events or give-aways.

## Purchasing a DLC

With the implementation of the in-game **Store**, in Patch 2.0.0, Players can decide whether to buy a DLC with money on the platforms' respective Stores or with Iridescent Shards (only original Characters) or Auric Cells directly from the in-game Store.

Purchasing a DLC with money will unlock an additional cosmetic Customisation Option for the Characters contained in the DLC.

Earning enough Iridescent Shards to unlock an unlicensed DLC takes approximately 35 hours of active playtime on average.

### Licensed DLCs

Licensed Chapter DLCs are generally locked out from purchase with Iridescent Shards.

Those Cosmetics could only be obtained via special codes that said Streamers/YouTubers could give away. Some added their exclusive Cosmetic piece to the Charity Case, making it available to everyone who bought the DLC.

## Trivia

* The Last Breath Chapter DLC, when originally launched, required the Player to manually install the DLC, this was changed so it is now pre-installed.
* When the Headcase DLC launched, it was wrongfully launched with five sets of exclusive DLC clothing. Those had been patched out shortly afterwards.
* All profits made from selling the Charity Case go to the Brain & Behaviour Research Foundation.
