The Skull Merchant is one of the most controversial Killers in Dead by Daylight and the developers have finally announced her third adaptation, but that may be a while off.
How The Legion Became the Most HATED Killer
Ever since she stepped into Dead By Daylight, the Skull Merchant’s ability to create long-lasting matches has drawn ire from the player base. Though the developers have addressed her kit in two previous reworks, Survivors’ general dislike for the Skull Merchant has never gone away, with many players immediately disconnecting if she’s the Killer.
This community discussion and outrage continues to draw the attention of the developers, and they have announced that she will be getting her third rework in 2025 to respond to the hate. The developers stated that they have "bigger changes planned for her" and that they "can't really say we're happy with where Skull Merchant is at right now."
While Dead by Daylight developers haven’t gone into detail about the extent of her overhaul, the time since the update has left players speculating about the potential changes. Currently, the Skull Merchant can block off large swaths of the map with hovering Drones that scan your character to inflict a plethora of debuffs.
