Every Killer’s Absolute Worst Add-On from Dead by Daylight History

Hey everyone, today we’re looking at every character’s worst addon from throughout DbD history. Some are more current, and others have their worst addon from a while back, either way I’m going to try and identify the worst for each. Let’s get into it.

Thanks to my partner for helping me get some gameplay for this video.
Thanks also to Alpaca and FunFionn for their help in custom games.

I think the worst part about Nemesis' licker tongue add-on is that I didn't even realize that the tentacle strike gave the survivors the hindered status effect until I read that add-on.

[That_One_Xenomorph]

ASHYMOVS: Even in its new form, huntress' wooden foxs potential is niche.
Demi: Hold my flashlight.

[Subzero]

Worst add on for hillbilly: all of them

[gucciverm]

Survivor Item addon: "increases medkit charge by 20 billion and gives endurance/deploys a flashbang in front of the killer's IRL computer on blind/instantly deletes generator from the game and opens exit gates"
Killer power addon: "increases killer move speed by 0.1% if it's raining on a tuesday while the exit gates are open and there's one survivor left"

[MaplesDesire]

Perfect 14 minute video for my 15 minute break that just started.

[FrostyTheNightmare]

For Dredge it’s always a tie between the War Helmet and Sacrificial knife

[dylanger]

wooden fox is underrated as hell. It has the same idea as the bone clapper in that its hard to tell where you are coming from, With my main huntress build I can use aura reading w/ the undetectable to get free downs

[widgetfilms]

the chain distance add ons are great for stealth cenobite. Become undetectable and use nurses calling plus sloppy butcher to really annoy survivors.

[cosmichoodie]

singularity's worst add on is definitely the one that gives survivors oblivious, but only if you teleport to them specifically from a biopod, which the survivors will never let you do if they're good, and at that point the oblivious is useless since you're probably going to want to chase the survivor

[georgialopez]

We should count our lucky stars that Demo was given some addon attention prior to his departure. Even with the Rat Liver nerf, he was and still is in a better state than many other killers. Hard to believe this upcoming November already marks two years since ST left. Maybe once the show ends with season 5, Netflix might offer it back to DBD to milk it for more profit. But the season release isn't until 2024-2026 realistically so it would still be a long time. However, as long as the community remains vocal to Netflix about ST, there is always hope for a return. I have faith. 🥰

In defence of Clown's feather addons, I'm _pretty_ sure his bottle throw cooldown also applies to other actions like vaulting or the break action. It's still not particularly useful, but it lets you throw a bottle and then do something else quicker, for smoother gameplay.

[forthelolz]

Tbh, I’ve never actually have thought about how Charcoal Stick could be detrimental in chase, which makes me think the addon definitely needs a buff.

One idea I have is to make it so survivors within 24 meters of the Artist can’t see her Dire Crows revealed for 0.5 seconds.

[BradleyWer]

Wooden fox is actually pretty good, I run it all the time. Catches alot of survivors off gaurd.
Compound 7 is pretty bad but it helped me to learn blight.

[OfficialMaxXimusK]

Waterlogged shoe and BFFs combine nicely with NOED as people dont often expect the noticable speed increase as well as the fact that they increase your speed when carrying survivors which helps with placement, bodyblocks, and quick defence during endgame. Especially useful as it counters the Adrenaline/made for this/Hope meta ive been noticing

[supriorsausage]

For old Amanda’s letter I would say it had a slight niche. By default there was only four boxes reduced to only 2 with the add on so you could body block one of the boxes and maybe bag 2 kills if you ran the add on that gave you an extra trap and win a double 50/50. If not you could potentially just down the survivor if they choice that as their first box

[Notwedsquid]

You know what’s funny in the ptb so singularity’s purple add on that inflicts the broken effect was actually longer and they nerfed this killer literally got nerfed with bug fix patch to buff his add ons

[wendigomaneiro]

I think AZHYMOV's worst addon is the yellow "sped up video"
Sure, you gain knowledge in a faster rate, but it has the downside of reducing the "Hey Everyone" from 1.0 to 0.75, which is not worth it

[deputyrook]

i used legion's BFF for a few matches
1) you don't always get enough tokens to activate it
2) when you do get enough tokens, you're probably already at enough of an advantage to not need it to win, and that's if you even get to the endgame.

[Indigo_Ninja]

I would actually argue that Licker Tongue isnt even Nemesis' worse addon. It's his second worse addon one-upped by Stars Combat Manual. All it does is cause a zombies' aura to turn yellow for 6 seconds. Most of the time, when a zombie attacks a survivor, you're usually in chase against said survivor. You have to hope the survs you're playing against are incredibly oblivious of their surroundings.

I love these videos keep it up! Btw imo nurses worse addon is the 4.6 after a blink one. And for Clown the feathers were his best addons cuz he used to get slowed down after a throw, reducing that time reduced the distance lost.
