Dead by Daylight Chaos Shuffle: Random Perks, Zero Rewards

Event Details

If your Dead by Daylight routine has grown a little too predictable, Chaos Shuffle is back to upend the fog. From March 18 to March 31, 2025, Behaviour Interactive is dropping players into matches where perks are completely randomized, sending both killers and survivors scrambling as carefully crafted builds get tossed out the window. It’s classic DBD, but with a dash of mayhem that makes every trial feel brand new.

What’s New (and What’s Missing)

This iteration of Chaos Shuffle isn’t about the cosmetics or the grind. Unlike the earlier Dungeons & Dragons crossover—packed with themed tomes and collectibles—this March event is stripped to the bone. No event tome, no badges or banners, and definitely no new charms to show off. Instead, it’s all about the gameplay, with randomness as the star of the show.

The one new twist: randomized perks are now unveiled with a crisp animation both during loading and at the start of the match. Forget scrambling to figure out your build as the trial begins—the reveal gives you a moment to regroup (or panic) before the madness starts. It’s a small change with big vibes, setting the scene for chaos with a bit of flair.

Community Reactions

Some veteran players might mourn the lack of exclusive loot, but the heart of this event is pure unpredictability. Behaviour seems curious to see if chaos alone can keep survivors and killers coming back for more. For those tired of seeing the same meta perks every round, this is a breath of fresh (if slightly panicked) air.

Whether you main killer or survivor, everyone’s out of their comfort zone. Each match becomes an experiment, and forgotten perks get a rare moment in the spotlight. If you’re weary of routine and ready for a challenge, this is your moment.

Looking Forward

No word yet on whether past Chaos Shuffle rewards will return, but the quiet rollout and minimalist format suggest Behaviour is experimenting with new ways to keep the fog interesting between big updates. Could more wild modifiers—or even reward-free events—be on the menu in the future?

The Verdict

Chaos Shuffle runs from March 18 to 31, 2025. No event tome, no fancy unlocks—just pure, random-perk chaos and a slick animation to kick things off. Whether you’re a meta mastermind or a chaos enjoyer, it’s the perfect excuse to dive into Dead by Daylight’s unpredictable side. No strings—or charms—attached.
