How to Get Flashlights in Dead by Daylight

Flashlights are essential tools in Dead by Daylight that can help you during your matches. This guide will walk you through the most effective methods to obtain flashlights and understand their different variants so you can choose the best one for your playstyle.

Getting Flashlights Through the Blood Web

The most straightforward way to get flashlights is through the Blood Web. Simply enter the Blood Web and wait until you unlock a flashlight naturally by progressing through it.

As you cycle through the Blood Web, keep an eye out for flashlight add-ons—these are batteries used for the flashlight. You can identify them easily because they will be labeled as “flashlight add-on.” Just continue cycling through the Blood Web until you spot one, then grab it.

If you want to speed up the process, you can navigate directly to the Blood Web page and invest your points there to unlock flashlights faster.

Equipping Your Flashlight

Once you have unlocked a flashlight in the Blood Web, be sure to go to your items menu and equip the flashlight variant you want to use before your next match.

Understanding Flashlight Rarity Tiers

Dead by Daylight offers several different types of flashlights, each with different rarity levels:

Green Flashlight — The most common variant

Blue Flashlight — A mid-tier option

Purple Flashlight — The best flashlight available

Yellow/Golden Flashlight — Special event variants

It’s important to note that yellow or golden flashlights are typically on par with their blue variants, and sometimes even with green variants. However, purple flashlights will always be the best option available to you, so prioritize unlocking these when possible.

Finding Flashlights in Chests During Matches

Another way to get flashlights is by finding them in chests during actual gameplay. When you unlock a chest in a match, there’s a chance it will contain a flashlight—though it’s not guaranteed. You might also find other items like keys instead.

Summary

Now you know the two primary methods for obtaining flashlights in Dead by Daylight: farming them through the Blood Web with your bloodpoints, and searching chests during matches. Remember that purple flashlights are the superior choice, so focus on unlocking those first. With these tools at your disposal, you’ll be better equipped to survive your encounters in the Entity’s realm.
