8 Best Maps For Killers In Dead By Daylight
Dead by Daylight Killers excel in their optimal hunting grounds, and these maps allow these characters to really shine.
One of the things that players can utilize to help nudge things in their favor is map selection. Not every map was created equal. Some maps are better suited for killers and others are great for survivors. This list will go through the best maps for survivors in Dead By Daylight.
1 Gas Heaven
Plenty Of Places To Hide
- Has A High Survivor Win Rate
- Plenty Of Places To Hide
- Great Loops
This mid-sized map is great for survivors. In fact, this map has one of the highest survivor win rates of all the maps in the game. There are plenty of car piles to loop the killer. There are also plenty of places to duck and hide from view.
As for the generators, they are pretty evenly spread, which can help to buy players time as the killer will need to continuously run from one area to the other to try and catch a survivor mid-repair.
2 Eyrie Of Crows
Makes Some Killers Powerless
- Has A Huge Central Building That’s Great For Escaping The Killer
- Good Visibility
- Tricky For Certain Killers To Traverse
Eyrie Of Crows has lots of great pallets and a huge building that is perfect for endlessly looping the killer. Also, because of the way the map is laid out, killers like the Hag and the Trapper lose a lot of their power, making the game considerably more favorable for survivors.
It’s one of the brighter maps, which makes it pretty easy for survivors to spot the killer coming from a mile away. Killers are left with no choice but to attempt to try and tag a couple of survivors and hope for the best.
3 Badham Preschool I-V
All Badham Preschool Maps Tend To Favor Survivors
It doesn’t really matter which Badham map it is, they all lean in favor of the survivor. These maps are big, there are several buildings to hide in, and the generator placement is pretty well-spread, making these maps a nightmare for killers.
The only time when killers have much of a chance on these maps is when they use a stealth killer to silently stalk prey. Even then, because these maps are large, killers will have a tough time hunting down all the survivors before they are able to fix all five generators.
4 Garden Of Joy
A Big Map With Plenty Of Places To Hide
- A Huge Map That’s Hard For Killers To Patrol
- A Central House That’s Great For Looping The Killer
Garden Of Joy is a large map. In fact, it’s such a large map that killers have a hard time pressuring generators. Mind games are hard for killers on this map, which greatly takes the pressure off the survivors.

Dead By Daylight: Every Survivor, Ranked
Each one of Dead by Daylight’s Survivors has unique Perks that give them an edge against the Killers, but some are better than others.
Should a survivor head inside the main building, there are multiple ways they can easily lose the killer. There are also lots of good pallets, which means that survivors can gain some distance between them and the killer almost at will. It’s not uncommon for killers to rage quit while playing on this map.
5 Mount Ormond Resort
A Large Area For Killers To Cover
- A Big Open Map With Plenty Of Great Hiding Spots
- The Second Floor Of The Main Building Is Great For Escaping The Killer
The Mount Ormond Resort maps are tricky for killers. Since they cover such a large area, killers have a hard time narrowing down their hunt. Not only that, but there are also plenty of great places for survivors to hide, plenty of great areas to loop, and a central building that’s easy for survivors to lose the killer in. While a veteran killer with a near-perfect loadout may do quite well at Mount Ormond Resort, it’s definitely a survivor-sided map.
6 Disturbed Ward
A Difficult Map For Most Killers
- A Decent Distance Between Each Generator
- A Difficult Map For Killers To Apply Pressure On Survivors
Disturbed Ward is a very large map. This not only makes it difficult for killers to pressure players, but it also has plenty of great places to hide. It’s pretty difficult for players to three-gen themselves due to the sheer distance between each generator.
Most killers dread loading into this map because if they don’t get lucky and find a survivor early on, then the chances of them winning aren’t great. Should the player end up in a chase, they can easily use the central building to escape the killer.
7 Toba Landing
A Large Map With Evenly Spread Generators
- Evenly Spaced Generators
- Plenty Of Great Hiding Places
- A Large Central Building That Makes Escaping The Killer Pretty Easy
Toba Landing is a great map for completing generator repair challenges. Since the map is big and the generators are well-spread, killers have a hard time patrolling them. This greatly reduces the pressure that is placed on survivors, allowing them to work without having to look over their shoulders too much.

8 Coal Tower
A Well-Balanced Map
- A Very Well-Balanced Map

- A Huge Central Building That’s Great For Hiding And Escaping The Killer
Unlike all the other entries on this list, Coal Tower doesn’t favor the survivor over the killer.
