How To Use Blood Zones In Dead by Daylight Blood Moon Event

Dead by Daylight's new Blood Moon Event features a new type of gameplay mechanic: Blood Zones. These distinctive areas of the map provide a boost to survivors or killers  who enter them, depending on which side created them. In this guide, we'll explain how Blood Zones work in Dead by Daylight during the Blood Moon Event, and what benefits you'll get from entering them.

How To Create Blood Zones In Dead by Daylight

During Dead by Daylight's spring Blood Moon event, players can create Blood Zones that give them boosts. To create a Blood Zone, you'll need to earn up Blood Droplets by collecting them from areas around the map. Survivors can hold up to 1 Droplet, and start out with 0. Killers can hold up to 2 Droplets and start with 1.

You can then deposit those charges into a Blood Basin to create an active Blood Zone (to determine where the Blood Zones will be, pay special attention when they're revealed to you at the beginning of the match). Once you're in the active Blood Zone, you can reap the area's benefits.
