Why doesn't the killer swing twice?  

Rowan treats his murderer better than his employees. Yeah, that checks out.

“Why do you clean your blade after every hit?” “Because I may be a monster, but *professionals* have *standards”*

"I'm proud of you." 😢 these feel good moments always get to me....

I mean, if I were stuck in a loop of infinite torture getting killed over and over again by the same killer, I would eventually get to know him.

Then he became Killer Assistant Manager and lived happily ever after.

Probably first time ever that Rowan said "Im proud of you"

The serious answer in lore is that the entity makes them do it. The entity needs the survivor to feel hope so it holds back killers after a hit. Evan probably wipes his blade after every hit because the entity has let him know, before, that those are the rules and he needs to play by them "or else".

Don't wanna accidentally summon nurgle, gotta get that weapon clean

Finally the buff that Trapper needs!

Man got his STBFL staks without attacking other survivors 💀

Fun fact: the reason why you should wipe blood off your blade is because the oxygen in the blood can cause rust to form on your weapon

The nicest way to help the killer in Dead By Daylight and in the end the survivor was so proud of the Trapper for learning about striking twice.

This is like training a new colleague on job training and realizing that that person is taking over your position 😅

Bro just made every killer S-Tier.

Rowan giving dad vibes.

"I'm proud of you." Omg he's such a nice guy bro

Teaching the killer how to kill 😂😂

“Trapper is too strong now” BHVR- “We’ve decided to nerf Pig”

Ok that’s cute the way trapper seemed excited to learn that 🥰

I'd probably cry if Rowan told me he was proud of me....

Perfectly depicts how things used to be when Killers ran Relentless and Save the Best for Last. Machine Gun Machete glory days

I don’t think I’ve seen a single one of these videos that haven’t made me laugh. What an excellent group of artist and actors, finding a perfect niche on how to write screenplays and perform these little skits well done!

"sir, you see the reason i clean my blade is due to the chance of it rusting. I do understand the logic behind your statement and i may be a monster, but professionals have standards, my good sir."

Trapper looks so scrungly in these shorts I love him

Bruh the way trapper snapped his head to look at rowen when he said "dont do the cleaning" and when finally got it and decided to test it out 😂😂😂😂

Lol, the "I'm proud of you".

Rare footage of Rowan being proud.

Killer didn't like being called 'Shirley'.

I almost fxcking choked on my muffin when he said "I'm proud of you." 😂😂💀

I am like rowan. I correct those im working against or competing with more then i correct those im working with. Probably because i dont want to annoy people im working with, or i just subconsciously want to lose

The entity is why. The entity wants to drag things out and savour every moment, every emotion.

When the bro has a dialogue with a serial killer 💀💀💀🗿 (I use Google translat)

Trapper: lay down beartraps that can ensnare survivors. Passive ability: death

Blood rusts blades so it is good to clean them when possible :)

And then Rowan was surrounded by a thick black mist as his mind filled with whispering but fleeting echos of his loved ones

Even bad guys have to learn

Thanks to the Frank Stone video game we know that they are not cleaning the weapon but are giving a salute to the entity like when we perceive in the church

He made a monster that day

Rowan actually managed to change the game logic with real logic, respect

He can do only with Save the best for last 🤣

DBD has a built in lampshade for all these gamey bits. The Killer is doing The Entity's will, and extracting slow torturous hope out of the Survivors. The two health states, the to hooks before they die, the generators, its all built so its not over too quickly. But yeah, it's pretty clearly just for balance.

The student has become the master

Lmfao the "I'm proud of you" at the end got me.

Hey, Its looks cool cleaning blade like that and also makes you look more psychotic.

Not only does the killer not want to give a survivor a fatal, blood borne disease, but also he doesn't want a rusty weapon.

[Rowan looks at the slashing killer with a look of pride, like a father to his son, and says] - I’m proud of you. -end scene Hahahaha😂😂😂😂😂

I'm pretty sure the Wraith has already had this discussion with him and the others during a basement meeting! Wraith: "So I was thinking.. if we stopped wiping, cleaning out weapons after we hit one of those little twerps, we'd probably kill them a lot...faster. What does everyone think?"

Me helping someone knowing this is gonna backfire horrifically but I'm consistently on that older brother mindset

"who do you clean your blade every hit?" "Because if i didnt it will rust and not work that good anymore"

Black Shirt Rowan: 🤡😡😤🤪🫠 Black Tunic Rowan: 🫡🤗🥹☺️😎

Fun fact, blood is corrosive to metal, so in order to keep a blade form rusting it is important to wipe it clean with every use

It’s funny cuz in the DbD universe since no one truly dies, some killers and survivors do talk to each other, not really friendly i would imagine but they aren’t restricted. Dying only resets your memories.

Rowan: I’m proud of you Play tech employees : wtf man

Rowan cares more about killers than his own friends. Just beautiful❤😢

"Why do you clean the blade after-" "Entity's Orders."

Killer after the round "uh okay I'm going to need a lot of bleach if I'm going to return this rental blade"

That killer just ascended beyond the use of STBFL

*Almost kills him* Him: “I’m proud of you”

Putting this short into perspective: Killer spend a minute chasing, and in that time the other survivors cleared the last gen and activated his NOED.

i feel like this could actually be canon since the killers and survivors are just stuck in an endless loop of killing and evading, they'd eventually just want to have a chat

This is so relatable lol! Sometimes I just wanna keep chasing survivors and I’m so slow!

This should be in the game. Like imagine a killer whose special ability is just common sense

When the killer has mad grit without carrying a survivor

Everytime rowan says good stuff i cried just wholesome i always see him being badass i love that but this rare

He's such a good mentor he put The Trapper from F tier to E- Tier ❤

"wild strikes" really is a good ash of war tbh

I want to believe the killer wants his victims the best possible experience of getting slashed by a clean blade, and therefore must clean the blade after each slash

New Perk Learned: Save the Best for Last

Once he learned to keep swinging he was truly unrelenting.

"I'm proud of you" Famous last words 😹

I mean "Save the best for last" does this

You can almost feel the smile behind the mask, after he gets downed.

How the perk "Save the Best for Last" was created by The Entity

To recover from the dying state he must've been running UNBREAKABLE or possibly even SOUL GUARD.

Now THAT'S good sportsmanship!

Man decided to fall into his own product of creation

Even dumber is the killer who has to "reload the fist" after every punch. 😂

The killers lounge has a sanitizer bucket. We are real big on personal hygiene while maintaining a grungy look.

I like the idea of a victim becoming friends with the killer and then hes just the only survivor

Legion: oh yeay, it's all coming together *cardiac arrest*

And so Rowan taught Trapper the perk Unrelenting 😂

Ingame, its for balancing purposes, in lore, i like to think Trapper is a fan of cleanliness

It’s like a dad teaching his kid new things. The I’m proud of you at the end proves it.

The perk you're looking for is called "Save the best for last"

Only Rowan, “I’m proud of you”! Lmao

Like most quirks in dbd it can be explained by, "the Entity wants it that way"

Rowan never knew how dull a knife can be if you don't clean the dirt off of it

And that’s when the trapper became a slightly better version of the legion.

"Blood errodes metal dipstick, I'm sure you'd be cleaning your weapon every time too if you had to keep this up for eternity." 😂 Thats what im mentally thinkin of when I think of the killer in this clip

The thing is blood is higly corrosive and even the best stainless steel is going to get rust if you dont clean your blade

Rowan just reworks game code just by speaking. Truly legendary.

The lore accurate reason for most killers is so their blades don't get rusty, blood contains a lot of oxide which can make it very rusty, leading to poor slashes

Legion is even stranger, he can get tired if he stabs twice😂

killer: downs him. rowan: "im proud of you"

I think the entity gives them massive OCD to make it entertaining and Rowan just broke it. Good job mate.

Maybe it’s a time related thing, the killers have been in the realm since they were taken some going back as far as the damn medieval era so by cleaning the blade it probably lasts longer and isn’t eroded by the blood if that makes sense. The entity has rules to give the survivors a fighting chance so by cleaning the blade they give ‘em a head start and aren’t just dicking around waiting for them to run off.

if you think about it, trapper takes this guy's advice during his mori

funnily enough theres a lore reason for it! the killers and survivors are put here by an entity that feeds on emotion and the survivors being injured but not immediately downed/killed gives more time for them to feel terror for it to feed off of

And that's how Ladies and Gentlemen, Mori was invented 😂😂

explanation from reddit: it's a rule the Entity enforces on killers in order to give survivors more hope of escape, since we all know the Entity feeds on it. The distance the survivor gains while the killer is meticulously cleaning their weapon gives the survivor the thought of, "Okay, I may be hurt, but at least I put a good bit of distance between me and that psycho. Just keep running; you'll make it through this." This then feeds the Entity more than if the survivor were just immediately overwhelmed by the killer.
