What is the Exposed Status effect in Dead by Daylight?
One of the more interesting part of dead by daylight is how deep the gameplay is. There are so many game mechanics to keep track of it can make your head spin if you are just starting to learn how to play. There are so many mechanics such as perks, items, chase mechanics, etc. However one of the mechanics people are not so aware of is the status effects. These can greatly help your efforts as a survivor or killer, or can make them futile. One of the most common and terrifying status effect is the exposed status effect and today we will be talking about what it does and some of the perks that cause it.
What is a status effect?
A status effect will show up at the top right of your screen and displays the effects that you are currently enduring. It has different effects on your gameplay. It is a passive factor that effects your survivor or killer in some sort of way that is determined by the perk causing the status effect. If the perk is red it is most likely negatively effecting you, if it is blue or yellow it is most likely improving your efforts. They are passive and go away once you no longer have the conditions that caused it, or the timer has run out. The way the status effect starts and ends is determined by the perk that caused it.
What is the Exposed Status Effect?
The exposed status effect is one of the many status's in the game. However this one can change the tides of the entire game in an instanced. You see in a regular circumstance all healthy survivors can take two hits. The first hit will put them into the injured state and gives them a speed boost, the second hit will put them into the dying state.
And one of the most important factors to understand is the fact that a survivor has two hits is a core mechanic of the game. The speed boost given when hit allows the chase to continue. But when you suffer from the exposed status effect you can only take one hit before going into the dying state.
That is right, when you are exposed you are an insta down. This is useful for the killer because it cuts the chase time in half. When a survivor initially gets hit they are granted that speed boost mentioned earlier and allows them to get to the next pallet or loop, and creates distance between them and the killer while team mates do generators. However with the exposed status effect this is not the case, they are instantly downed, and on the hook and another survivor is now at risk of a chase.
Perks That Give the Exposed Status Effect
No one escapes death
No one escapes death or more commonly referred to as "noed" Is one of the most controversial perks in the entire game. The way it works is once all the generators are completed and the exit gates are able to be opened, no one escapes death activates and all remaining survivors are given the exposed status effect and they are now able to be instantly downed. The reason why it is so controversial is because it rewards killers for failing to prevent generator repairs. it does not matter if the survivors evaded the killer the entire match and successfully completed all of the generators, if the killer has no one escapes death than one lucky hit and it tilts the entire game in the favor of the killer. Especially because the survivors will want to rescue their fallen team mate which also puts them at risk due to them also being exposed.
Devour Hope
This is one of the most common hex perks and can obliterate a team of survivors if they are not careful and do not act quickly enough. Devour hope involves a series of five tokens. Each time you hook a survivor and a team mate picks them up from a certain distance, you gain a token. And for each token their day gets a little bit worse. At 2 tokens you gain a speed boost for ten seconds. At 3 tokens all survivors have the exposed status effect. And at 5 tokens you are able to kill all survivors when downed by your own hand. It is a phenomenal perk that will destroy any survivors that are foolish enough to leave it standing.
Conclusion
Perks that offer the exposed status effect posses the potential to completely alter the course of a game. Survivors who had a system, three on generators one in chase, their rhythm becomes flipped on its head because the chase has the potential to end instantly. Putting another survivor at risk in a chase. Exposed status effect is something all suvivors dread and fear, and rightfully so.
