The blue tint of frozen skin complements quite nicely with all that red, doesn’t it? Dead by Daylight’s Bone Chill Event is back, offering up a gift of holiday horror alongside all those cookies and milk.
Bone Chill has been an ongoing tradition for several years now, and each iteration brings new updates to discover. This time, we’re going even harder on the Snowmen, introducing new ways to interact with them – and even build your own.
From December 12th 11 AM ET – January 7th 11 AM ET, step into a winter wonderland to engage in Snowskull fights, soak in the holiday decor, and give The Entity the greatest gift of all. We’ll let you figure out what that might be...
A HOLIDAY IN ORMOND
Who doesn’t love traveling in the dead of winter? Explore a brand-new Map – Ormond Lake Mine – which highlights a dark Chapter of Mount Ormond’s history. The mining project was supposed to be so prosperous, only to be derailed after the assigned crew seemingly slaughtered each other for no discernible reason. In other words, a perfect spot for a relaxing holiday getaway. Note that Ormond Lake Mine is not exclusive to Bone Chill and will remain in rotation after the Event concludes.
CAST THE FIRST BALL
One must wonder, when was the first snowball thrown? Who was the target? Did they respond with anger or delight? So many questions destined to forever go unanswered. One thing that we do know the answer to is whether Killers and Survivors enjoy pelting each other with unnaturally cold, tightly-packed balls. The answer is yes. A resounding yes. Snowskulls are back, so be sure to stop by the closest Snow Pile to load up your supply, up to a maximum of 6. Better to have one and not need it than better to have one and not need it than need one and not have it.
COLD-HEARTED MEN
Gone are the days of the docile, corncob pipe-sporting snowman of yore. This is The Fog, and these are closer to snow-abominations than, well, men. Yet they too long for friendship, and they won’t be satisfied until you take shelter within their icy forms. Take heed, however – some aren’t exactly what you call friendly.
This year marks a landmark discovery in Snowman evolution, the likes of which have baffled and terrified us to our cores. There are whispers that some of them have started moving on their own, so be careful – you might not be able to tell if there’s someone hiding inside.
To really crank up the Snowman-related shenanigans to an unhinged degree, we’re introducing the ability to craft an Instant Snowman. If you have a Snowskull in your possession, you’ll be able to build a Snowman whenever and wherever you like.
You also have the option to drop your Instant Snowman to instantly create a Snowman Decoy , which cannot be entered. Instead, the unlucky person that interacts with one will receive a chilling surprise.
A TOME FOR THE AGES
The horror and holidays go hand in hand. Think about it – the scheduling alone is a nightmare. That’s not even factoring in the panic-inducing terror that is a last-minute shopping spree. And of course, there’s always Krampus to consider. It’s only fitting that we come through with a new Event Tome, packed with 3 levels of chilling Winter challenges to complete.
As per tradition, the more Challenges you complete, the more Event Currency you earn. That Event Currency is exactly what you’ll be needing for all those sweet unlockable Outfits and Charms. Speaking of which, there’s plenty of goodies to stuff your stockings with, including:

STALKING STUFFERS

By the end of the month, the Bloodpoints, Iridescent Shards, and Rift Fragments you’ll have received will be enough to hold you over for the duration of the winter. Well, maybe not the whole winter, but enough to keep you busy. We’re talking a total of 1 500 000 Bloodpoints, 2750 Iridescent Shards , and 60 Rift Fragments, so use your imagination.
All you need to do is login to Dead by Daylight anytime from the starting date of December 3rd to the end date of January 7th , and those sweet rewards will be yours for the taking. Looking for more specificity? We’ve got you covered with a calendar below.
Just because the spooky season is over, doesn’t mean the scares have to die. Let holiday horror into your hearts and brave the Bone Chill.
See you in The Fog,
The Ugly Sweater-sporting Dead by Daylight Team
