As an add-on, this event item will take up a usual spot for a killer’s add-on item. Most event items are either offerings or survivor items, making this new event item a surprise for veteranDead by Daylightplayers.
The Blight Serum is a special add-on that can give any equipped killer the ability to perform theBlight’s rush attacks. However, they will only have one charge that can only be replenished after hooking a survivor. While the killer has a rush charge, it will replace their normal Killer Power until it has been used. Killers cannot have more than one rush charge at a time.
When performing a rush, the killer will quickly dash forward. This can be helpful for certain killers duringchases with survivors. The add-on however does note that the Blight Serum may have unknown effects on certain killers, so players are recommended to test around to see how it affects the different killers in their rosters.
In order to get a Blight Serum, players just need to keep putting blood points in their blood webs. During theEternal Blight event, it has a chance to appear in killer blood webs alongside other event items. After the event is over, however, it will stop appearing in blood webs and can not be used in trials. Because of this, players are recommended to use them up before the event’s completion unless they want to keep one for a collection.
The Blight Serum can appear on the web of anyDead by Daylightkiller and is not limited by original or third-party license killers. Lore-wise, it was created by Talbot Grimes before he was transformed into the Blight. It is also likely the source of the variousmutated killer cosmeticsthat are released every year inDead by Daylightfor Halloween. It is unknown if the Blight’s experiments will continue into 2021 or if a new killer will take charge of future Halloween events.
