Layers 5 and 6 are reserved for additional music layers, which are added as embellishments on top of Layer 4 when the Killer is in a Chase, they do not replace other Layers.

Layer 4 is also referred to as the Chase Music and is what the Killer will hear when in a Chase. Layer 4 is reserved for when the Killer is in a Chase with a Survivor and replaces the third Layer of the Terror Radius. They divide a Killer's Terror Radius into three equidistant radii, with each third of the Killer's Terror Radius playing one of the three Layers. Layers 1, 2, and 3 are used to signal proximity, akin to the Heartbeat. The Terror Radius Layers are the musical component of the Terror Radius.Įach Terror Radius features 4 distinct Layers, with the possibility to add 2 additional Layers:Īdded in addition to Layer 4 when 1 Mix Tape Add-on is used.Īdded in addition to Layers 4 and 5 when 2 Mix Tape Add-ons are used. The second component of a Killer's Terror Radius are the Terror Radius Layers. The loudness and pace of the Heartbeat is tied directly to how close the Killer is to the Survivor in question. This is further confirmed by a "Mysterious Note" found in the Fog and by the visibly beating heart model in the chest of Survivors used in Dead by Daylight Mobile. The first component of a Killer's Terror Radius is the Heartbeat heard by Survivors whenever they are inside the Terror Radius.īenedict Baker's Journal confirms that it is indeed a Survivor's own heart that beats audibly whenever the Killer is nearby. The Terror Radius has 2 components to it, the Heartbeat and the Terror Radius Layers. However, some Killers do not follow that general rule and either have a different Terror Radius altogether or even multiple Terror Radii, as can be seen in the Table below. The Terror Radius is a feature intended to induce fear and anxiety in Survivors, causing them to experience The Heartbeat, a sound effect triggered whenever Survivors enter the Killer's Terror Radius and intensifies with proximity.įor most Killers in Dead by Daylight, their Terror Radius is decided by their base Movement speed: 32 metres for those moving at 4.6 m/s and 24 metres for those moving at 4.4 m/s.
