The Jerk's Guide To The Unknown | Dead By Daylight 

"Check out this new killer design" "What power should he have?" "a grenade launcher" These fucking devs

Insidious Unknown feels like a match made in Heaven. It's the world's cheapest jumpscare build, and I can see it being far more viable than any other since it makes survivors afraid to counter your map presence. Once somebody gets jumpscared, the whole swf is paranoid. If it's a solo que, someone still gets paranoid, so it's still a win. Funny and effective.

I can hear the coms now, “Oh shit he’s edging he’s edging”

"I won't recommend hysteria" *recommends insidious*

Bro that VHS diss had me coughing

The ball doesn’t just hit through walls, it hits through FLOORS. Badham basement in shambles

Bruh if you really get everybody to call a tech edging then you really are the greatest youtuber ever

I think the idea is since visualizing him is what makes him come for you, his power and aesthetic is a fusion of every single urban legend ever told about him. To be an SCP nerd, he's a Keter Class Memetic Anomaly.

0:00 “You aren’t cool enough to make a jerks guide to the unknown” No Rowby, you are cooler than that.

I think one of the funniest things about the Unknown was when his power was revealed everyone I saw kinda squinted at it and said "why, it doesn't fit at all" but everyone has been having so much fun with it that it didn't end up mattering.

Loved the reveal that he was waiting on the stairs for you guys at 10:47

Slap undone with impossible skill check Doctor and watch what happens.

Unknown is such a fun killer. And i absolutely love running off-meta perks on him. just pure oblivious/undetectable. and not commiting to chases to harrass other players is very, very fun. Personally, i'm a big fan of not running slowdowns, at all. Chase and weird perks is where it's at. And yes. Hysteria is absolutely monstrous on him.

i like the fact that most of the perk explanations just go for the funny perk. makes me as a memelord happy

Perfectly aiming a shot that goes through someone and then bounces back to hit them plays the TF2 double donk sound in my brain and I think that's the really important part.

LMFAO I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A VHS REF/BURN

4:29 "Unless a curse has been put upon you!" 💀 im rolling

Unknown lore: Dwight overcame his locker addiction...at a cost

I just want it known that I intentionally wait to learn anything about new killers until Rowby covers them. Hands down the best way to find out new stuff coming to dbd

I’m definitely going to call that edging now. I’m glad I’m not the only person who learned how to edge as the unknown.

pfff I am glad I'm not the only one that saw her backstory and thought "ah, they made My Immortal canon did they?"

I don't get it: He can teleport wherever he wants pretty fast without needing to put down anything. Hag left the chat. Dredge left the chat. Sadako left the chat. Freddie left the chat.

The thumbnail is cool and all, but have you considered perhaps an underwhelming grenade launcher instead?

Probably my favorite killer guide yet! Informative, fun, and the script worked really well. I look forward to edging.

That thumbnail.I never would've made that reference.

thanks for your videos, out of all the people i regularly watch, you're the one i get most excited about, no matter what the topic i actually held off on watching this video until i had dinner and was comfortable, and looked forward to it all day like some sort of movie premiere and i have to say, i was not disappointed. your work is more appreciated than you know

U and otz are the single handedly the reason why i keep installing this game again and again

This was one of your best videos yet! Love the thought you put into the perk combos and perspective

Clicks on notification: “I’ve been waiting for this one!”

I feel like a cool feature they could add is that the survivor you mori the most you'll start mimicking there voice

I love the intro to this video already, you're the best video essay writer (un)known to man..!

The chestburster mortar launcher comes to dbd with the power of basketball

“The Jerks Guide to the Unknown” sounds like some epic space adventure comedy film.

Undone is meant for the skill check doc build

I’ve been playing him with unbound, rapid brutality, superior anatomy and either dissolution or thwack! With his purple game cartridge add on and it’s been a fucking blast

Personally I would always run Distortion with the new Invocation since the killer seeing your aura in the basement is the biggest risk factor to finishing it. The new survivor build I’d love to see is Distortion, Invocation Weaving Spiders, No Mither, and a perk that works while injured or that uses Broken (e.g. Resilience, Deliverance, etc) plus a basement offering that lets you know exactly where the basement is at the start of the match. Then you just head straight for the basement and do the Invocation right away, hopefully getting it to trigger on as many gens as possible. With any luck the Distortion will keep you concealed while it’s happening and you can finish. Since you’ll then be Broken most of the match afterward you may as well get the benefits of No Mither too and some other perk that makes use of being injured or that has a Broken penalty as well.

BRUH THE MY IMMORTAL REFERENCE FUCK

im so happy with the positive reception to this chapter! it's such a good one with lots of love put into the lore, power, map, characters, and voice acting

I started menichly laughing for a second when you mentioned insidious.

such an amazing video rowby, giveing me the joy on how a killer is played, and the reason that i quit dbd for 2 yeara and still havent picked it up with that 10 perk line (14:59)

I liked the edging part Rowby!

you're so close to 100k dude. keep up the good work

Commentary is S tier glad i stumbled onto your vid looking for unknown stuff

Seeing Rowby having fun playing as an artillery cannon is way too funny.

One of the funniest builds I've gotten my friend to try was anti-loop Bubba. Crowd control, blood favor, cruel limits, and he choose ultimate weapon so he could find people.

Entertaining video and I'll be sure to try out some of the perk strats you brought up to spice up the DBD gameplay, thanks again.

I miss VHS man qwq

I will always take rowbys perk suggestion to the highest degree because instead of typical meta builds, he recommends unpopular perks that have a surprising amount of synergy with that killer

I'm so glad Rowby still makes vids, I always enjoy watching them

definitely gonna use the edging strat thank you rowby!

If you want a usage for Undone, I'd look on the same page of perks it's on. Undone + Unforeseen + Unnerving, specifically. Sure it takes 3 perk slots and isn't good but it gives all of these weird perks an additional purpose, and it makes me happy seeing perks I like getting some sort of synergy

9:10 NO WAY THAT'S A MY IMMORTAL REFERENCE

So a fun little note about unforeseen and trail of torment is that you can apply both at the same time and have two separate terror radius and it does exactly what you’d expect on doctor

I remember when they first invented chocolate

Well this one appeard rather quickly

Fun fact from the future: the Invocation perk now only takes 60 seconds, and drops at 1 charge per second

congrat on 100k love the content

Rowby being generally excited about an edition to the game is really nice to see; actually happy to see your just generally pleased with an addition from time to time. Def have to agree, The Unknown feels very inspired, and has a simple power that can be used for some crazy technical feats; with fantastic zoning opportunities. Weaving spiders is hilarious however

i don't even play dbd but i like watching these lol. but bruh the desert map with the black goop dripping into the sky makes me want to play fable 3. iykyk

I learned how to edge on the first day of the ptb and its pretty fun, edging is a great way to get my hallucinations in good spots :3

Why do you need Crossprogression to play with Keyboard and Mouse on Playstation? Isn't it possible to connect Bluetooth-devices on PS4/PS5?

10:44 love that background footage

6:09 my favorite spot to do this on is 2nd floor rpd, right above main generator (bonus points if you have undetectable). You can cut off people running into main door + pressure main generator and it's hard af for them to get rid of it because they need to go all the way around

Half a minute in, you got me with your Sable joke. :>

I wanna see the exact frame appear when a new killer drops for that video then we see how long hey sat in the unknown

We got rowby lowkey edging and I’m all here for it

I have gotten so much from unforeseen. Hit a gen teleport to the other side of the map never letting know we're I truly am

I find a fun dose of irony that some of the best perks for the unknown have *"in"* in their names. *In*sidious Batteries *in*cluded

i was calling it edge teching yesterday, good to see im not the only one who thought that

Unforseen is another perk that basically turns the Doctor into Killer Queen.

i love doing weaving spiders asap with reslience with it, deja vu or this is not happening are good pairs as well

I actually love Sable cus I think The Unknown is meant to be DBD's take on internet horror like creepypastas. Which is played completely straight. On the other side, Sable is an over the top parody of the kinds of people that READ internet horror stories. Looking at it from that perspective imma be real she's one of my favorite survivors in the game lmao

my favorite jerks guides are when it’s obvious how much fun he had playing them

Thanks rowby i have also been quirky with my builds. I have made a terminus wesker build thats been succesful and even a eruption/unbeknown build with unknown!

I love playing really creepy killers in dbd. I loved when the dredge came out and have it's doll skin.

I will also try to us your influence to consider that strat edging as well. Since that is simply hilarious

I like to play a semi healer build with sable’s new strength in shadows by having botany knowledge with it which lets you heal super fast in basement while also letting you heal teammates fast which I say is a win win situation

VHS did make me realize how bad I want an original designed puppet master killer

my favorite part of the unkown is the sound effects it uses

I swear I remembered some killer concept ideas from like 2020 where they had a pirate killer that shot a grenade launcher esque canon. Acting similar to this guy's power.

0:20 as a skull merchant enjoyer, thank you

Fun fact: if you start the invocation, get off, amd get downed, youll be put ti injured as it ends even if you're on the floor

3:27 Fuuka Jumpscare!

Congrats on 100k!! 🎉🥳

Forgot VHS existed til you mentioned it. Says it all really.

I just noticed the unknowns ability might be based on the early idea of explosive hatchets in alpha or beta game

i forgot rowby was a console dbd player i was waiting so long for this vid for no reason

unknown has like the best power ive used in dbd for a while, im happy af

I like to sleep with my tv on so when I heard “edging” I rosed up so fast it looked like a damn Glitch

Let’s go more rowby content

The Iridescent OSS Report is just laminated to look shiny

Not the marble hornets reference. Core memory unlocked

I feel like now that everyone has gotten over the second bait of a disguise killer, he seems fun

That title sure does make this sound a lot cooler than it actually is. It's still cool, mind you, but much like all the teasers for the Unknown it hypes up a weird flesh man who isn't at all what you think

They could make invocation weaving spiders viable if they either removed the progress loss entirely, or made added a delay so you weren't punished hard for trying to ESCAPE FROM THE BASEMENT OR HIDE WHEN THE KILLER IS COMING.

Soft counter to the basement perks: Is territorial impairment.

The unknown wouldve been a PERFECT "hide as a survivor" killer instead of grenade launcher man. Especially the way he can mimic voices, it would've been a really interesting change of pace like Secret Neighbor

“Survivors won’t use the tools against the killer even if it shoots fire” man I may be new but playing Xeno I constantly eat fire turrets

I'm just gonna throw this here for anyone who sees it. When you're trying to hit someone with the UVX, aim at their legs. They will get the hindered effect because they got hit directly and the UVX goes through survivors, so it will immediately hit the ground and weaken/injury them. Do that while running the extended hinder add-on and survivors will make next to no distance when you use your UVX on them

I feel like your one of the only players who actually understands how to play this killer. In Scott Jund’s video on him, he said the killer only had a limited pocket to go for the other shot because of good survivors looking behind them, disregarding the fact you don’t have to take shots from LOS and can just hide/TP and keep venom on them for pressure or an unexpected snipe from the other side. Good guide video!
