... Read moreReaching Iridescent Grade in Dead by Daylight, for both Killer and Survivor, was such a huge milestone for me! It took a lot of dedication and understanding of the game's mechanics, but seeing that SURVIVOR GRADE and Killer grade icon turn iridescent felt incredibly rewarding. If you're wondering how the grading system works and what awesome dbd grade rewards you can snag, let me break it down based on my own experience. The grade system in DBD is essentially your monthly PROGRESS tracker. It resets on the 13th of every month, meaning you get a fresh start to climb the ranks from Ash IV all the way up to Iridescent I. You progress by earning pips in each trial, which are awarded based on your performance across four different emblem categories: Chaser, Malicious, Devout, and Gatekeeper for Killers, and Lightbringer, Unbroken, Bold, and Altruistic for Survivors. Getting a gold or iridescent emblem in each category usually guarantees pips, helping you climb faster. So, what are those coveted dbd grade rewards? At the end of each month, when the grades reset, you receive a payout of Bloodpoints based on the highest grade you achieved for both Killer and Survivor. The higher your grade, the more Bloodpoints you get! For example, reaching Iridescent I on both roles can net you a massive amount of Bloodpoints, which is fantastic for leveling up new characters, unlocking perks, and buying items in the Bloodweb. It’s a great incentive to keep pushing for that top tier. For those of you focusing on killer grades dbd, I found that consistency is key. To pip up quickly, you really need to excel in all four emblem categories. For Chaser, aim for long, successful chases. Malicious comes from hitting and downing survivors. Devout is all about hooks and sacrifices. And Gatekeeper? Protect those generators and prevent escapes. Don't tunnel or camp excessively if you're trying to maximize your pips, as it can negatively impact your emblems, especially Malicious and Devout if the game ends too quickly. Try to spread hooks, get multiple downs, and keep applying pressure across the map. Learning to manage generator PROGRESS and applying pressure without losing your survivors helps a lot. If your goal is to boost your SURVIVOR GRADE, my advice is to be a well-rounded player. Lightbringer is earned through generator repairs, so always be working on gens. Unbroken comes from escaping, so focus on survival. Bold is for interactions near the killer, like looping or taking hits. Altruistic is for healing and unhooking teammates. A key strategy is to balance these objectives. Don't just hide in lockers or only do generators. Try to get a few saves, do some healing, and participate in chases responsibly. Sometimes, even if you don't escape, playing well across all categories can still earn you a pip. Always try to contribute to generator PROGRESS and save your teammates when safe to do so. Achieving Iridescent Grade for both roles truly feels like you've mastered a significant part of Dead by Daylight. It's a testament to your understanding of the game and your ability to adapt. Keep pushing, keep learning from your matches, and you'll see your PLAYER LEVEL and grades climb steadily. The Bloodpoints are a nice bonus, but the satisfaction of hitting that top grade is the real reward!
