The Banshee Killer is a fan-created, custom Killer concept for the horror game Dead by Daylight, envisioned as a formidable "targeting killer" primarily focused on eliminating survivors and severely impeding the progress of generators.
Understanding The Banshee Killer
Conceived by the community, The Banshee stands out as a custom entity within the expansive Dead by Daylight universe, offering a unique playstyle centered around direct elimination and strategic map control through slowing down the survivors' primary objective.
Unique Power: TUNNEL VISION
The core of The Banshee's terror stems from its unique power, TUNNEL VISION. This ability allows the Killer to directly target specific survivors, facilitating their demise while simultaneously exerting pressure across the map by slowing down the crucial generator repair progress. This dual-purpose power makes The Banshee a relentless pursuer and a formidable obstacle to survivor objectives.
Signature Perks
The Banshee is equipped with a distinct set of three perks, each designed to complement its targeting nature and reinforce its ability to halt generator repairs, ensuring targets are eliminated before escape is possible. These perks are:
- PARANORMAL: This perk enhances The Banshee's ability to locate and pursue survivors, likely providing critical information or advantages during a chase.
- Scourge Hook: UNDEAD PUNISHMENT: As a Scourge Hook perk, UNDED PUNISHMENT activates when survivors are hooked on specific Scourge Hooks across the map. It is designed to punish survivors, likely slowing down their objectives or revealing their locations when allies are on a Scourge Hook, further hindering gen progress.
- HEX: UNFIXABLE DAMAGE: This Hex perk creates a persistent threat on the map. As a Hex totem, it must be cleansed by survivors to remove its effect. UNFIXABLE DAMAGE specifically targets generator progress, significantly slowing or even temporarily stopping repairs, making it extremely difficult for survivors to complete their objectives.

Strategic Playstyle
The Banshee's design encourages a highly aggressive and strategic playstyle. By combining the direct targeting capabilities of TUNNEL VISION with the gen-stalling effects of perks like HEX: UNFIXABLE DAMAGE and the punishing nature of Scourge Hook: UNDEAD PUNISHMENT, The Banshee effectively creates a scenario where survivors are constantly under pressure. This ensures that while the Killer is focused on individual targets, the overall game progression for survivors remains severely hampered, ultimately leading to their demise.
