In Dead by Daylight (DBD), The Pig is Amanda Young, a stealthy killer introduced from the iconic SAW horror franchise. She is depicted as a successor to the legendary Jigsaw, bringing her own brand of psychological torment to the Entity's realm.
Who is Amanda Young?
Amanda Young's lore in Dead by Daylight is directly tied to the SAW series. She was one of Jigsaw's apprentices, deeply ingrained in his philosophy of testing individuals to appreciate life. In DBD, she continues this legacy, preying on Survivors with a unique blend of stealth and deadly traps.
The Pig's Gameplay and Abilities
The Pig is known for her cunning and ability to set up inescapable situations for Survivors. Her gameplay revolves around her signature power, "Jigsaw's Baptism."
Key aspects of The Pig's gameplay include:
- Reverse Bear Traps: Unlike other killers who simply hook Survivors, The Pig can apply Reverse Bear Traps to their heads. Once activated (either by the generator count or if the Survivor is hooked after the trap is set), these traps will kill the Survivor if not removed in time. Survivors must race against the clock to find Jigsaw Boxes scattered across the map to attempt to remove the trap.
- Ambush Dash: The Pig can crouch to become stealthy, reducing her terror radius to zero. While crouched, she can perform a rapid Ambush Dash, lunging forward to surprise and attack Survivors. This ability makes her exceptionally dangerous in tight spaces or when approaching unaware Survivors.
- Stealth Tactics: Her ability to crouch and become undetectable allows her to surprise Survivors and gain the upper hand, making her a formidable foe for those who rely on sound cues.
