The Skull Merchant Comes to Dead by Daylight: A Beginner’s Guide

Her reign was built upon a mountain of bones. Daylight is the last day of daylight’s latest Killer is The Skull Merchant, a ruthless apex hunter driven to pursue prey worthy of her talents.

Her most dangerous tool, Drones, has been perfected after years of trial and error. They are used to locate survivors in the vicinity. These grotesque mixtures of metal and bone were meticulously handcrafted from the skulls of many of her victims.

You must know how to trap, analyse key points and capitalise on empowered Survivors in order to master this Killer. While The Skull Merchant comes with three Character Perks – Game Afoot, Thwack!,The Leverage and the Investing – This guide focuses on the Power of Mary and how she can use it.

Drone Zone

The Skull Merchant’s Power,All eyes on the skyThis allows her to place multiple drones at her choice of locations. Potential locations include Hex Totems or Generators. A Radar device will be available that will enable you to locate survivors in certain situations.

After a Drone is placed, it can enter. Active Mode It detects survivors within the radius. While you are in the radius, your Radar will show any Survivors that have entered it. The Drone will slowly lock-on to the Survivor within the Active Zone and reveal their precise location via Killer Instinct. They will be Exposed.

After several seconds have passed and there are no Survivors within the area, the Drone will change to Active Mode. Scouting Mode. The Drone’s Scouting Mode will slow rotate so that it can catch survivors in its sightline. It’s far safer for a Survivor to approach during this time, provided they can avoid the Drone’s rotating sightlines. If the Drone does detect them, however, it will enter immediately. Active Mode

Once you place your Drones, you’ll have the ability to recall them or manually set them to Active Mode, though you cannot force a Drone to return to Scouting Mode. Consider using this if you predict that a Survivor is attempting to approach and disable a Drone, though you’ll have to primarily trust your instinct on this one. Remember that Drones can be stressed out more actively by Survivors.

The Key Placements

One of The Skull Merchant’s biggest strengths is her ability to keep tabs of Survivor locations. Remember that most Survivors will spawn far from you when you first spawn in a Trial. The Skull Merchant doesn’t have cross-Map mobility so you can disrupt their game plans early. You should instead try to think in terms of their future.

While you make your approach, you’ll notice several Generators that have yet to be touched – the closer together they are, the better. These areas are great places to place a Drone as survivors will eventually find these Generators. The survivors will need to make a decision about whether or not to listen to the Drone, to commit to it, to build up progress and reveal their Killer Instinct through Exposed, or to attempt to disarm the Drone to receive a Claw Trap.

You can’t get away with the Claw Trap A Claw Trap will be awarded to Survivors who successfully disable one of your Drones. When a Survivor receives a Claw Trap, their location will be trackable on your Radar until the Trap’s battery dies.

Because Drones create such a perilous zone for Survivors, it’s effective to widen the scope of your web by placing multiple. You maximize your chances of success. You’ll either end up targeting an Exposed Survivor or gain the ability to track a Claw Trapped Survivor on your radar. It may happen that a Claw Trapped Survivor attempts to draw you away to an inconvenient location – in that case, it’s up to you to decide whether taking that chase is worth it.

At the end of the day, The Skull Merchant is a Killer who specializes in trap placement, so don’t be discouraged if you lose a few Generators in the early game.

Drones and Radar

Dealing with all these Drones can feel overwhelming – especially when your initial placements prove ineffective, and you’re left improvising on the fly. Drones can have significant value in a chase, especially when you’re pursuing a Survivor around a complex loop with limited line-of-sight.

Not only will their exact location eventually be revealed by Killer Instinct if they remain in the Drone’s Active Zone, but you’ll also get the immediate benefit of becoming Undetectable. That means you won’t have to worry about hiding your Red Stain, and Survivors will have a harder time gauging your location.

As for your Radar – remember, you have it for a reason, so use it to obtain crucial information on Survivor whereabouts. The leftmost light informs you where you can place a Drone, while the rightmost one informs you when a Survivor is inside a Drone’s Active Zone. Your Power will cool down and the Radar will not be illuminated. You should be paying attention to the visual signals.

The Skull Merchant is all about control, and you’ll soon find that an effective setup can lead to some truly merciless results. You can now find the Skull Merchant in Dead by Daylight’s Tools of Torment ChapterXbox.
