Top Dustin Perk Builds for Completing and Solving in Dead by Daylight

Select Language:

The highly anticipated second chapter of Stranger Things has been added to Dead by Daylight, introducing two new Survivors—Dustin Henderson and Eleven—and a new Killer known as The First, or Vecna. Each of these characters comes with three unique perks that players can use to build effective and enjoyable gameplay strategies.

Dustin Henderson’s perks are designed to leverage his quick thinking and friendly nature to improve team performance. Here’s what you need to know about his perks and some suggested builds:

Dustin’s Unique Perks

• Bada Bada Boom: Allows you to set a trap at a window that slows the Killer when they vault. Activate it by repairing at least 20% of a generator, then placing the trap. The trap lasts for 60 seconds or until the Killer vaults the window, causing a 50% Hindered effect on the Killer for six seconds.

• Change Of Plan: Lets you convert a toolbox into a med kit inside a locker. To use it effectively, pair it with perks like Built To Last to refill your toolbox multiple times. Use high-rarity toolboxes and add-ons, such as Engineer’s Toolbox with Socket Swivels and a Wire Spool, to maximize repair speed and versatility.

• Teamwork: Full Circuit: Boosts repair speed and skill check zones when repairing with others. Teaming up with perks like Prove Thyself and De Ja Vu amplifies this effect, making your generator repairs quicker and more efficient.

Combining Bada Bada Boom with trap perks like Chemical Trap, Wire Tap, and Blast Mine creates a trap-focused build. This combo is especially strong because all these perks activate during generator repair, allowing you to slow down the Killer while sanding a possible escape.

Bada Bada Boom Build

This build emphasizes setting traps and using tactical movement to slow down the Killer while providing an escape route. Pairing Bada Bada Boom with Chemical Trap increases your options to hinder the Killer during loops. Adding a perk like Champion Of Light, which blinds the Killer when using a flashlight, and Sprint Burst to quickly escape when needed, creates a versatile and disruptive setup.

Perks:

Change Of Plan Build

This perk enables you to turn a toolbox into a med kit when entering a locker, which can be strategically timed to maximize healing or disruption. To get the most out of the toolbox, pair it with Built To Last, which allows refilling the toolbox in lockers, and ensure you select high-rarity toolboxes, such as the Engineer’s with Socket Swivels and Wire Spool, for faster repairs.

When your toolbox is used up, simply pull into a locker and activate Change Of Plan to swap it for a med kit. Use the med kit to heal yourself or teammates, and benefit from perks like Bite The Bullet, which silences any noise cues when healing.

Perks:

Teamwork: Full Circuit Build

This setup focuses on increasing repair efficiency and teamwork. Pairing Full Circuit with perks like Stake Out and Fast Track allows your team to improve skill check success and gain bonus repair progress. Such synergy accelerates generator completion and keeps your team coordinated.

Perks:

These perks allow your team to work more effectively together, making it easier to repair generators quickly and stay ahead of the Killer’s pursuit.
