The Best Rick Grimes Perk Build in Dead by Daylight

Rick Grimes, the stoic and strategic sheriff from AMC’s The Walking Dead, will officially bring his survivalist instincts to The Fog on29th July 2025. Equipped with leadership, altruism, and tactical awareness, Rick can support his team or act as a self-sufficient survivor depending on how you want to tackle the trial. Here are three strong builds that utilize Rick’s unique perks in one of Dead by Daylight’s most anticipated crossover chapters.

Apocalyptic Ingenuity:

See the auras of broken pallets within a range of 24 meters. To activate, you must unlock and rummage through 2 chests –  after which, while near one of the broken pallets, press the ability button for 8 seconds to reconstruct it into a Fragile Pallet. As with Party Pallets, these can be used once and will instantly break after being dropped.

Come and Get Me!:

This perk is activated while crouching and remaining still. After unhooking another survivor, press the ‘Ability’ button to suppress their scratch marks and pools of blood. This works for all injured Survivors within 24 meters. However, in exchange, you scream and reveal your aura to the Killer for 5 seconds. Your sacrifice offers others a moment to disappear.

Teamwork: Toughen Up:

While injured, if a Survivor within 24 meters stuns the Killer with a pallet or blinds them, your grunts of pain, pools of blood, and scratch marks are hidden for the next 20/25/30 seconds. This perk relies on your fellow Survivors to be of any use.

Teamwork: Toughen Up also pairs well with a perk of Michonne’s – the other survivor coming to The Fog later this month.
