Read full description

Let fate choose your next trial. Trial Randomizer is an independent companion for Dead by Daylight that gives you a new way to mix up your matches, experiment with builds, track your results, and challenge yourself. RANDOMIZE YOUR NEXT TRIAL Choose the killers and survivors you own, then let Trial Randomizer create your next loadout. Randomize a killer and four-perk build, or keep your favorite survivor and discover a new perk combination. Build themes add even more variety when you want something different. TRACK YOUR RESULTS Lock in a loadout, play your match, then record how it went. Track wins, losses, streaks, character usage, perk performance, favorite builds, and more over time. Match tracking is completely optional. LAST ONE STANDING Put your roster to the test in a separate elimination challenge. Choose a character, take them into a trial, and record the result. Win and they survive. Lose and they're eliminated from the run. Keep going until nobody remains and see how long you can last. Want a tougher challenge? Hard Mode removes eliminated characters' perks from the available perk pool as your run continues. BUILT AROUND YOUR ROSTER Select the killers and survivors you own so randomized builds use the characters and perks available to you. Change your selections whenever you want. YOUR STATS, YOUR DATA Your recorded results stay on your device and can sync through your private iCloud storage. Trial Randomizer does not require a Dead by Daylight account connection, and match results are entered manually. Randomization works offline. Trial Randomizer is an unofficial companion and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Behaviour Interactive. Game names and references belong to their respective owners.
