An APK file is an Android application package file that contains all the files and code needed to run an app on an Android device.

How to play Dead by Daylight Mobile on Android
Dead by Daylight Mobile is a thrilling and challenging game that requires skill, strategy, and teamwork. Here are some tips and tricks for playing as a killer or a survivor:
Tips for playing as a killer
- Your main objective is to find, chase, down, hook, and sacrifice four survivors before they escape. You can use various abilities, weapons, add-ons, and perks to aid you in your hunt.
- You can choose from different killers, each with their own unique power, strengths, and weaknesses. Some killers are better at tracking, others are better at chasing, and others are better at controlling the map. You can also customize your killer with different outfits and accessories.
- You can see red scratch marks left by running survivors, which indicate their direction and recent location. You can also hear their breathing, footsteps, grunts of pain, and screams when they are injured or hooked. You can also see their auras when they are in certain situations, such as being healed by another survivor or being in a locker.
- You can damage generators that survivors are repairing by kicking them, which will cause them to regress over time. You can also damage pallets that survivors use to stun or block you by breaking them with your weapon or by using your power. You can also damage totems that survivors use to activate certain perks by cleansing them with your hand.
- You can carry a survivor that you have downed by pressing and holding the attack button. You can then hook them on a nearby hook by pressing the action button. You can hook a survivor up to three times, each time increasing their struggle phase and decreasing their chances of escaping. If a survivor is hooked for the third time or for too long, they will be sacrificed to The Entity and eliminated from the game.
- You can see the status of the generators, hooks, and survivors on the HUD at the bottom of the screen. You can also see how many survivors are still alive, how many have escaped, and how many have been sacrificed.
- You can use different strategies to prevent survivors from escaping, such as patrolling generators, camping hooks, tunneling survivors, or slugging survivors. However, be aware that some of these strategies may be considered unsportsmanlike or toxic by some players, and may also affect your scoring and ranking.
Tips for playing as a survivor
- Your main objective is to repair five generators, open one of the two exit gates, and escape alive. You can use various items, add-ons, and perks to aid you in your survival.
- You can choose from different survivors, each with their own unique perks, strengths, and weaknesses. Some survivors are better at repairing, others are better at healing, and others are better at hiding. You can also customize your survivor with different outfits and accessories.
- You can repair generators by holding the action button near them. You will occasionally see a skill check appear on the screen, which requires you to press the action button again at the right time. If you succeed, you will continue repairing normally. If you fail, you will cause a loud noise and a spark that will alert the killer to your location.
- You can heal yourself or another survivor by holding the action button near them. You can also use items such as medkits or syringes to speed up the healing process. Healing will restore your health state from injured to healthy or from dying to injured. If you are healthy, you can take one hit from the killer before becoming injured. If you are injured, you can take one hit from the killer before becoming dying. If you are dying, you can take one hit from the killer before being downed.
- You can escape from the killer’s grasp by wiggling with the movement buttons. If you wiggle enough before the killer hooks you, you will free yourself and stun the killer for a few seconds. You can also escape from a hook by attempting to unhook yourself with the action button or by being unhooked by another survivor. However, attempting to unhook yourself has a low chance of success and will reduce your struggle time.
- You can hide from the killer by crouching behind objects, entering lockers, or using perks such as Urban Evasion or Iron Will. However, be careful not to leave any traces that the killer can follow, such as blood trails, scratch marks, or noises.
- You can distract or evade the killer by using items such as flashlights or firecrackers, or by using perks such as Decisive Strike or Dead Hard. You can also use pallets or windows to create distance or obstacles between you and the killer. However, be aware that some killers have abilities that can counter these tactics, such as Nurse’s Blink or Huntress’s Hatchets.
