Challenge Format
Checkpoint Gauntlet
The Checkpoint Gauntlet is a structured Dead by Daylight challenge where specific killers in the roster act as checkpoints — requiring completely perkless matches before your run can continue. At each checkpoint you must complete a trial with zero perk slots equipped, testing raw mechanical skill with no loadout support. Progress saves between sessions so you can pick up exactly where you left off.
How to Play
- Play through the Dead by Daylight killer roster in a fixed order
- At checkpoint killers you must equip zero perks for the entire match
- Log every match result — wins and losses tracked across sessions
- Losing a checkpoint match does not reset prior progress — only that match must be replayed
- Complete the full roster to finish the gauntlet
