Dead by Daylight’s Shrine of Secrets is an in-game store that gives players the opportunity to unlock perks from Survivors or Killers still unavailable to them for a limited time. This week has a pretty strong offering as the perks available are Hex: Undying, Flashbang, Hex: Plaything, and Off the Record. Here’s a quick rundown of each perk available for September October 5, 2022 and if it’s worth unlocking.

Dead by Daylight Shrine of Secrets perks for October 5 to October 12, 2022

To unlock a perk through the Shine of Secrets, you’ll need to spend Iridescent Shards per perk. If you are unlocking a tier 1 perk it will cost 2,000 shards while tier 2 and 3 will cost 4,000 each.

It’s a strong offering this week for both killer and survivor as you can make a lot of interesting builds with these.

Here’s what is available this week.

Killer Perks

Hex: Undying - When another Hex Totem is cleansed, that totem’s Hex transfers to the Hex: Undying Totem, deactivating Hex: Undying. Any tokens the transferred Hex had are transferred as well.

Hex: Plaything - The first time you hook a survivor, they become Cursed and Hex: Plaything activates on a Dull Totem. The Cursed survivor suffers from the Oblivious status effect until Hexx: Plaything is cleansed.

Hex: Plaything’s totem auro is revealed to the Cursed survivor within 24 meters of it. For the first 90 seconds, only the Cursed survivor can cleanse the totem.

Survivor Perks

Flashbang - After completing 60% progress on any generator, Flashbang activates. Enter a locker while empty-handed and press the active ability button to craft a Flashbang. You have one charge and using it detonates a flashing light that if timed right can blind or distract killers.

Off the Record - Once you are unhooked or escape from the hook, Off the Record activates for 60 seconds. This perk and its effects are disabled once the exit gates are powered.

While Off the Record is active:

Your aura will not be shown to the Killer
Grunts of pain caused by injuries are reduced by 100%
Gain the Endurance status effect

Which perks are worth getting this week?

This week’s offering is easy to suggest as each and one is worth picking up.

In terms of priority (because I doubt many would like to spend a ton of shards in one sitting) I would go Hex: Undying for killer and Off the Record for survivor. Hex: Undying makes Hex builds work. For Off the Record, it’s such a strong perk as it makes escaping a killer easier if their game plan is to camp you out.

Hex: Plaything is also worth the purchase as this puts the affected survivor at a disadvantage. Not only that, he has to spend time removing the dull totem, and that’s time that could have been spent on a gen.

The least among the four is Flashbang, but don’t sleep on this one as a perfectly placed flashbang could tip the whole game in the survivor’s favor. The only issue is learning the timing, which is easy to grasp with enough practice.

Dead by Daylight’s Shrine of Secrets reset every Wednesday at 12 AM UTC / 8 AM GMT +8.
