Core Mechanics

Understanding the core systems behind bloodpoint farming is essential before you start slapping together random build combinations. Here’s a quick reference table breaking down the key mechanics that affect your farming efficiency:

Mechanic	Description	Farming Impact
Bloodpoints (BP)	The main currency earned after every match. Used to unlock perks, add-ons, cosmetics, and advance your Bloodweb tiers.	The faster you earn BP per match, the quicker you progress and unlock powerful meta builds.
Matchout Bonuses	Rewards at the end of a match for objectives: helping allies, generating generators, performing actions, and killer-specific objectives like downs, hooking, or sacrificing.	High-matchout bonuses mean exponentially more BP. Optimizing your build around matchout actions is crucial for efficient farming.
Bloodweb Tiers	Every 250 BP, you level up your Bloodweb and open new perk slots.	Higher tiers unlock stronger perks. Farming efficiently early on gets you access to the good stuff faster.
Event Multiples	Certain events offer BP multiples (e.g., 1.5x, 2x, or more) that stack with your other modifiers.	Always check active events before queuing. Running a build during a high-multiple event can double or triple your BP gains.
Challenges & Trials	In-game challenges and anti-cheat trials often reward bonus BP or experience. Completing them gives extra rewards on top of normal matchout bonuses.	Factor relevant challenges into your build choice. A build that helps you complete challenges scores you free bonus BP.
Perk Synergy	Combining perks that trigger off the same actions (e.g., triggering bonuses from generator repairs, healing, or pallet stuns) multiplies your BP income.	The heart of any farming build. Pick perks that stack synergistically rather than individually strong.
Add-Ons	Equipped items that modify generator repair speeds, healing, or other actions. Some add-ons also influence challenge completion.	Using the right add-ons can speed up actions by a noticeable margin, leading to faster matches and more BP per hour.
Teachable Perks	Perks unlocked from the Bloodweb of a specific character at tier 35+, purchasable with Character Tokens.	Farming builds should target specific characters whose teachables you want. Knowing which teachables are meta helps prioritize your grind targets.

Step-by-Step

Now that you know how the systems work, let’s walk through exactly how to build your ultimate farming setup. I’ll break this down for both survivors and killers so everyone gets something useful.

Step 1 — Choose Your Target Character

Your first decision should be which character you want to farm with. This determines your Bloodweb, which perks are available, and which teachable perk you’ll eventually unlock. For farming purposes, pick a character whose teachable is useful in the current meta:

Survivor picks for farming:

• Nancy Wheeler — Trail Blazer lets you see generator progress when damaged, making your repairs way more efficient. Great for consistent action.
• David King — Iron Will combined with his Blast Mine teachable gives you both passive BP generation and an active objective tool.
• Clara Harris — Remote Play and Camaraderie make team-based action farming much smoother and more rewarding.
• Yaeji Shimora — Her healing perks and support tools are excellent for matchout-focused farming builds.

Killer picks for farming:

• The Hillbilly — Easy to down survivors quickly, Street Lantern passively generates BP while patrolling, and Pop Goes the Weasel gives huge BP for chases.
• The Nightmare — Spine Chill and Agony make generator blocking and pressure-based farming incredibly efficient.
• The Ghost Face — Dead of Night and Heartbroken create constant pressure that ramps up BP from almost every action.
• The Plague — Her area denial perks and healing synergy make her one of the most BP-dense killers in the game right now.

Step 2 — Build Your Perk Loadout

Each character gets three main perk slots plus your teacheble slot. Your goal is to fill each one with a perk that generates BP through repeated, reliable actions.

Farming Build Framework for Survivors:

1. Pick a Teacheble that rewards your playstyle. If you’re a generator repair-focused player, grab Spine Chill or Surge equivalent. If you’re more about helping teammates, look for perks like Resilience or Self-Care.
2. Fill two slots with action-generating perks. Look for perks that trigger from the actions you already do naturally — repairing, healing, pallet stacking, vaulting.
3. One slot for synergy. A perk that boosts your other perks or extends their effects.

Farming Build Framework for Killers:

1. Pick a Teacheble that creates repeatable pressure. Hillbilly’s Pop Goes the Weasel, Ghost Face’s Dead of Night, or Nightmare’s Agony are all top-tier choices.
2. Two slots for pressure and trap generation. Perks that create map control or reward you for downs and hooks.
3. One slot for aura reading or map awareness. Perks like Street Lantern or Rancor variants help you locate survivors faster, meaning more downs and more BP.

Step 3 — Optimize Add-Ons

Don’t overlook add-ons. The right ones can turn a decent build into a BP-printing machine. Focus on add-ons that:

• Reduce generator repair time (survivors)
• Increase pallet/stun duration (survivors)
• Increase terror radius detection range or chase speed (killers)
• Reduce cooldown on your main abilities (both roles)

Check the item shop and Bloodweb for relevant add-ons, and don’t be afraid to sell duplicates of low-value ones for quick cash.

Step 4 — Match Your Build to Active Events

Before you queue up, always check what BP multiple events are running. If there’s a 2x survivor BP event active, switch to a survivor farming build. If it’s a killer event, swap to your killer setup. Running mismatched builds against event modifiers is like leaving free BP on the table.

Step 5 — Play for Objectives, Not Kills or Exits

This is the most important step. Every farming build should be optimized for maximum objective-based BP, not for winning the match. As a survivor, focus on repairing generators and helping teammates. As a killer, focus on downs, hooks, and applying pressure. A loss with great matchout stats will net you more BP than a win with poor stats. Embrace the grind over the glory.

Tips

Here are some pro tips that will separate the casual grinders from the BP machines:

Tip 1: Stack your challenges. Many in-game challenges reward bonus BP. Check the challenges tab before you start a session and pick a build that aligns with active challenges. If there’s a “Repair 4 generators” challenge, you know exactly what to prioritize.

Tip 2: Use the right game modes for farming. Quick Matches and Standard Matches both give BP, but Standard Matches generally offer higher multipliers and better overall rewards. However, if you’re grinding for a quick session, Quick Match can still be worthwhile during high-multiple events.

Tip 3: Learn the optimal generator routes. As a survivor, knowing the fastest path to complete all five generators saves you minutes per match. Those minutes add up to hundreds of extra actions — and therefore hundreds of extra BP — per hour.

Tip 4: Killer movement optimization matters. On killer, learn how to optimize your chase pathing. Every second you waste running in circles is a second you’re not generating BP. Practice your trap placements and shortcut cuts so your pressure is consistent and efficient.

Tip 5: Don’t hoard unused perks. If you’re maxed out on Bloodweb slots, selling unused perks funds your next upgrade. You can always re-grind them later, and having BP liquidity means you never stall out.

Tip 6: Farm with friends when possible. Team coordination makes every action faster. Survivors who communicate and coordinate repairs will finish matches quicker and earn more per-minute BP. Killers who communicate with their team (in trial matches) can create overwhelming pressure.

Tip 7: Watch the current meta. Patch notes change the strength of perks regularly. Stay updated on what’s currently strong so you’re not farming with a depreciating build. The 10.1.0 Chorus of Sin update may have shifted things — keep an eye on the community for hot topics.

Tip 8: Be patient with your Bloodweb. Sometimes the BP you need is right behind a weak perk. Don’t be afraid to invest a bit of BP into a mediocre perk if it opens up the slot you actually need. Efficiency beats aesthetics every time.

FAQ

Q1: What is the single best farming build for beginners in Dead by Daylight?

A: For beginners, I recommend starting with The Hillbilly as a killer. His Trail of Torment and Pop Goes the Weasel teachable are straightforward and reward aggressive play. Pair those with Sloppy Butcher and Barbecue & Chilli for maximum pressure and BP generation. This build teaches you map awareness, chase management, and hook timing — all essential skills. For survivors, Nancy Wheeler with Trail Blazer is hard to beat. It’s intuitive, rewards standard gameplay, and gives you consistent BP from repairs and objective actions.

Q2: Are there any anti-cheat measures affecting farming builds?

A: Yes! Beacon Interactive recently announced Anti-Cheat Trials as part of their ongoing efforts to improve the Dead-by-daylight
