"Dead by Daylight" - The Cannibal (Leatherface) Trivia Game

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. While Leatherface's main shtick involves his chainsaw, cheeky Survivors will make it difficult for him to hit them with that. So that's what his other melee weapon is for, dishing out basic attack damage. What is Leatherface's basic attack melee weapon?

Answer: A sledgehammer

Considering two of his three unique perks do nothing when he uses his chainsaw, if running those perks, it makes sense to try and mix in some basic attack hits when rationally possible. Survivors in an open field should be hacked apart with the chainsaw, but these hits are overtly risky if a window vault is nearby. Thus, swiping at them with the hammer is a good idea in those scenarios.

2. Leatherface's power is very simply "Bubba's Chainsaw" which doesn't need much explanation or introduction. However, it's all fun and games until Leatherface enters a tantrum, which is seriously bad news. How does Leatherface enter a tantrum?

Answer: Activating the chainsaw, then colliding with an unbreakable object

Tantruming is very bad for the Leatherface player, as he will move extremely slowly and swing his chainsaw erratically, thus practically guaranteeing the Survivor he was chasing will at least be able to put a lot of distance between themselves and Leatherface, if not outright escape altogether.

Therefore, when using the chainsaw, the player must be very careful not to collide with an object.

3. By default, Leatherface will begin the game with three charges assuming he does not have any add-ons which would change that. What do these charges do?

Answer: Allow him to use the chainsaw for longer periods of time

While the player has him swinging the chainsaw, they just need to press the power button before a charge has been fully consumed in order to prepare the next one. Each charge allows Leatherface to swing his chainsaw for two seconds, assuming no add-ons change that.

Therefore, without any add-ons, he can swing his chainsaw a maximum of six seconds at a time before he would have to put it away.

4. Every Killer gets three teachable perks that, when acquired, can be given to other Killers. Leatherface's first of such perks, acquired at level 30, can encourage slugging playstyles by masking the aura of Survivors placed into the Dying state when they are downed with a basic attack. What is it?

Answer: Knock Out

Knock Out can be a useful perk on slugging playstyles as it will be harder for the downed Survivors' teammates to locate and heal them. It can make for a nasty pairing with the Infectious Fright perk, as any Survivor revealed by Infectious Fright, who probably saw the killer slug the Survivor and could come and heal them, would be chased off by the Killer and unable to do so.

5. Arguably the single greatest, most universal Killer perk of all time belongs to Leatherface, and can be acquired as a teachable when he reaches level 35. This perk activates when hooking a Survivor, revealing the auras of other Survivors who are outside a short distance away from the hooking. What is it?

Answer: Barbecue & Chilli

There are really no Killers out there who would not benefit somehow from using this perk. Learning where other Survivors are following a hooking action can allow the Killer to extend their momentum towards finding and pressuring another Survivor while that Survivor has been hooked.

In that realistic scenario, you have one Survivor incapacitated, another one getting chased, and another one who has to come in to save that hooked Survivor, leaving a maximum of one Survivor who can help push generators. That's a very advantageous stage for the Killer. Plus, if the Killer is able to hook everyone at least once, this perk will double the amount of Bloodpoints they gain at the end of the game, which can be a godsend for players who have not fully maxed out their Killer yet.

6. Getting tired of Survivors with high powered Med-Kits? Powerful Toolboxes to rush generators with? Or worse yet, Keys to escape the jaws of defeat? This perk, Leatherface's level 40 teachable, might be just up your alley, allowing the Killer using it to force Survivors to drop their items. What is it?

Answer: Franklin's Demise

When hitting a Survivor with a basic attack, a Killer using Franklin's Demise will knock whatever item they were carrying out of their hand. Once removed, the item will also slowly lose its charges over time until it completely depletes, or is picked up by someone. If you're in a public lobby and notice the opposing Survivor team is carrying a lot of potentially powerful items, it might be a good idea to equip this perk.

7. This add-on, an Iridescent, can make things extremely dangerous for multiple Survivors who are discovered by Leatherface by replenishing the charges on his chainsaw when he hits one with it, allowing him to potentially quickly mow down the other. What add-on is this?

Answer: Iridescent Flesh

If Leatherface manages to hit a Survivor with his chainsaw, Iridescent Flesh will completely replenish the chainsaw's charges then and there, allowing him up to six more seconds of chainsawing. Survivors are not likely to want to run alongside each other when fleeing Leatherface, so the chances of actually downing two of them off of this add-on are fairly slim.

However, it does mean Leatherface could down a Survivor, then have his chainsaw immediately available, thus foiling nearby Survivors lurking around who may have tried for a flashlight save on their downed companion.

8. This Iridescent add-on does force Leatherface to commit all of his charges to a single chainsaw use. But, it makes each charge more potent by extending the longevity of his chainsaw, at the further expense of his movement speed while using it and his regeneration of charges. What add-on is this?

Answer: Carburettor Tuning Guide

This can be helpful for newer players, who may not be adept at maintaining their charges while directing the chainsaw efficiently towards a Survivor. For experienced ones, however, this add-on is not the absolute best. Reducing Leatherface's chainsaw speed is a large detriment and forcing him to commit all his charges, while reducing the rate at which they replenish, can be a negative as well.

9. If you're a simple player and just want straight, albeit unexciting, benefits across the board from an add-on, this one might just be for you. A purple add-on, this one will make chainsaw charges stretch out longer and will make Leatherface move astonishingly fast while using the chainsaw, with no drawback. What is it?

Answer: Award-Winning Chili

When pairing this add-on with its lesser counterpart, the "Chili" add-on, Leatherface moves absurdly fast and maintains his chainsaw for an extreme amount of time. For these reasons, pairing those two together has often been considered his "best" use of add-ons, especially as there is no drawback to using either add-on.

10. Most Killers in the game move at 115% the base speed juxtaposed to Survivors. When not using his power, is Leatherface a 115% movement speed Killer?

Answer: Yes

Because of his insta-down power along with speed add-ons and a typical base speed, Leatherface is arguably the best Killer in the game at running down Survivors in an open field. He can take them down swiftly with his chainsaw, and even when that isn't an option, he is fast enough to make running them down with basic attacks just as doable as mostly anyone else.
