How to find out who the Killer is at the start of a match in Dead by Daylight
Here are some quick tips on how to identifythe Killerat the start of a match in Dead by Daylight. And you can check the tells for each Killer in the table below.
When you enter the match, you want to be moving immediately. This way, you can scope out the map and notice any Killer’s belongings that can reveal their identity. While running, you should also keep listening to any audio killer cues, like the nurse teleporting, Billy revving his chainsaw, etc. If you don’t hear anything for a while, keep looking around, as it could be one of the stealth Killers stalking you.

How to identify the Deathslinger
The Deathslinger might be the easiest Killer to identify for the simple fact that he is the only Killer who uses a gun. You’ll hear his gunshots echoing across the map, so you’ll know pretty quickly that it’s him.

How to identify the Blight
Your primary cue for figuring out that you are in a match with the Blight is sound. You’ll hear him hitting against walls, rocks, and trees as he uses his special power to increase his movement speed. You’ll also hear him scream and growl as he does it, so keep your ears open.

The Cenobite is very easy to identify. As soon as you enter the trial, the Lament of Configuration will spawn on the map. You have to get to it first unless you want to suffer through a Chain Hunt. You can also recognize the Killer through the Chain Hunt State, which will appear in all of the Survivors' portraits.

How to identify the Skull Merchant
She is very tricky to identify, and I have run into her many times, thinking she is just another Survivor. Instead of focusing on sound, you will recognize her by her drones. They are invisible until you walk through their range. Once a drone is active, you’re able to see the range as a big yellow circle. Anyone who a Drone detected will have a Lock On State visible as a timer underneath their portraits.

How to identify the Alien
The Alien can be identified by one of the coolestitems in DBD, a Flame Turret. This is a limited item that will only spawn in matches against the Alien and which you can use to stun it. While there are other items which stun Killers, nothing is as amazing as setting up a turret and watching it shoot flames at the Alien.
