Dead by Daylight Chase Guide: Terror Radius Distances, Closing Speed & Moonwalks

undefined

Published by The Fog Entity Telemetry Guild • Updated for 2026 Season

📋 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Calculate Relative Closing Speed (4.6 m/s vs 4.0 m/s)

Standard Killers move at 4.6 meters per second (115% speed), while Survivors run at 4.0 m/s (100% speed). In a straight line with no vault windows or pallets, the Killer closes distance at 0.6 m/s, requiring 16.7 seconds to close a 10-meter gap.

Step 2: Execute Pre-Run Timings Based on Terror Radius Edge

At a standard 32-meter Terror Radius, a Survivor reacting immediately has 12.8 seconds to reach a jungle gym or main building pallet before the killer arrives. With stealth perks like Monitor & Abuse (24m TR), this safety window shrinks to 8.2 seconds, requiring earlier generator disengagements.

Step 3: Master the 2.5m Red Stain Moonwalk Mindgame

The Killer's red stain projects 2.5 meters in front of their facing vector. At tall-wall structures like the Shack or Jungle Gym L-Walls, looking backward while walking around corners conceals the stain, slashing Survivor pallet drop reaction time from 800ms to just 240ms.

Step 4: Factor Bloodlust Speed Tiers in Extended Loops

Maintaining unbroken line of sight for 15 seconds grants Bloodlust Tier 1 (+0.2 m/s), increasing closure rate to 0.8 m/s. At Tier 3 (+0.6 m/s after 35s), the closure rate doubles to 1.2 m/s, making it mathematically impossible for the Survivor to greed another loop around the pallet.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why do ranged killers like Huntress move slower?

Killers with ranged abilities (Huntress, Slinger, Trickster) move at 4.4 m/s (110% speed) to balance their ability to injure survivors from a distance. Their relative closing speed is only 0.4 m/s, making tight looping tiles stronger against them.

How can Survivors counter a Killer moonwalk?

Survivors should tilt their camera high to spot the Killer's head or weapon model over the tops of low-wall tiles, listen for footsteps and breathing audio cues, and avoid camping pallets when the red stain mysteriously vanishes.
