Learn the essential strategies and tips for unhooking and rescuing teammates in Dead by Daylight. Master the timing, risks, and rewards to save your allies from the Entity's grasp.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Approach the hooked survivor when the Killer is not nearby.
  2. 2
    Initiate the unhook action. This takes time and makes noise, so ensure the coast is clear.
  3. 3
    If the Killer returns, consider body-blocking or using perks to protect the unhooking survivor.
  4. 4
    Once unhooked, both survivors should try to escape or heal.
Tips
  • Listen for the Killer's terror radius and red stain to gauge their proximity.
  • Use perks like Borrowed Time or Kindred to gain an advantage during rescues.
  • Coordinate with other survivors for simultaneous unhooks or distractions.
  • Be aware of the hooked survivor's health state; a dying survivor cannot be unhooked.
  • Sometimes, it's better to wait for the Killer to move away rather than attempting a risky unhook.
