As stated in the description this game is a massive time sink requiring over 1k hours for completion. I have around 1090 and I got the game and attempted to 100% it not long after installing it.
In order to minimize the time (and to get the most out of the venture) The shards obtained throughout play should be spent during sales. The bulk of achievements requires actions to be done with certain characters as well as perks whilst playing as certain characters.
This means you need ALL of the characters, which includes the ones in the paid DLCs. There are two ways to get these characters: Buying their Chapter DLC or buying their character directly with Auric cells.

Text version for sloaders & translate enjoyers:

Note: This does NOT take into account discounts or purchases from third party sources
Additional notes: The only times characters go on sale consistently is during the Anniversaries (In June) and during Haunted by Daylight (In October). During this time the most recent chapter will be full price, the second most recent being 25% off, and all other chapters usually being 50% off for all characters. This will affect both the Auric prices and Chapter prices. (I suggest to save your shards/auric/money until these sales happen, but it's your life so do what you want.)

Adept achievements are really simple. You have to play a character and then use their three unique perks and complete their objective (Escaping or getting 4 kills for survivor and killer respectively). It may be hard to get them on your first try but if you just keep running the build you'll end up getting them sooner or later. The most difficult part of getting adepts is coping with the grind of getting shards.
Pro tip: Always play nice, even if the killer is playing mean there is always a chance they'll give you hatch at the end of the game as long as you don't provoke them further. Never expect hatch, it's unreliable to believe that the killer will give it to you just for playing nice.
Also same works for killer, although there aren't any real rewards but it's nice to be a good person.
Also, never disconnect. You'll get XP at the end of matches you lose, and the more time spent in a match the more XP you'll get too. The main way to get shards is through the player leveling system, which is best explained by the wiki[deadbydaylight.fandom.com]

Me and a friend of mine has made a tier list on adept difficulty for survivor.
These survivor achievements make up 39/239 of the achievements (As of Chapter 30, The Chucky Chapter)

This tierlist is an opinioned piece based on how easy it is for one escape on your own, not based on how much their perks help the team or can work outside of the adept limitations.










A version for the killers too:
This version is correct..
73/236 of the achievements are adepts.

A lot of achievements are done via the menus. Spending blood points, ranking up etc.

III-50

Reach prestige Level III-50 with any character.

This one can be a bit of a grind but you'll get used to it. Getting a character to prestige 3 is something you'll be aiming to do anyway, so that you can have tier three perks on every future character. Cost about 4 Million blood points though so have fun. This should also unlock It wakes, Not half bad, I, II, III, III-50, and Skillful

Apt Survivor

Start a public match with a full survivor loadout.

Okay for the adept ones you had to figure out how to equip three perks that came with the character for this one you'll make the daring choice to put on one more perk.

Bloody Millionaire

Accumlate a total of 1 million blood points. (blood points can be spent before reaching the total).

This one is really hard because it requires you to play at least 5 trials.

Apt Killer

Start a public match with a full killer loadout.

Pull up the the trial fully loaded with four perks.

Gifts For The Fog

In a public match, burn an Ultra rare offering.

Pull up to the trial fully loaded with the Red Mori offering. (its got the dude screaming on it)

this concludes all the achievements that are gotten through menu actions. easily the hardest things to do ever i promsie
Also note: There may be free blood points or other rewards that you can obtain with codes from this website [progameguides.com]

Counting the Grade ranks as menu achievements here for convenience

Legendary survivor

Reach survivor online grade iridescent I.

This one and it's cousins are acquired by getting Iri quality on the four rankings.[deadbydaylight.fandom.com] The summary of this for survivor is Don't go down, Do Generators, Help friends, Do not get caught.

Legendary Killer

Reach Killer Iridescent I.

This one and it's cousins are acquired by getting Iri quality on the four rankings.[deadbydaylight.fandom.com] The summary of this for Killer is Dude stop letting them do gens just beat the level already come on.

Diving into what I believe are the more difficult achievements: Survivor achievements. The lack of control of the match a single survivor has makes it difficult to force these achievements, but it doesn't take much for the situation appear so just keep playing and you'll get them.

Somewhat obvious note, but "Public matches" mean that custom games will not allow you to cheese achievements.

Survival Treasures

In a public match, escape while bringing a new item to the campfire.

If you ever have a friendly match or one where the killer is getting rolled, consider looting the chest found in the basement, the main building (if applicable), and the chest found somewhere in the map.

No one left behind

In a public match, rescue someone after at least one gate has opened.

Killers like to camp in the end game to get their one kill, so if you want to steal from them you're going to have to unhook them swiftly. Consider Desperate Measures, Resilience, Borrowed Time,
and Reassurance.

Backdoor Escape

In a public match, escape through the hatch.

You'll get this at some point, but if you're (somehow) hundreds hours in and don't have it, bring Left behind, or Clairvoyance, and a Key (Purple or Red).

Sorted

In public match, spend most of the trial injured (more then 50%) and live to tell the story.

It is physically impossible for you to get Adept David and not get this achievement.

Agonising Escape

In a public match, crawl your way out.

Get to the exit gate, get so close to the escape zone that it's a single step away then allow the killer to hit you once (as a treat) outside. To be extra safe, use the point emote before getting hit to get extra time to crawl out. Note: DO NOT DO THIS TO WESKER! HE GRABBED ME AND CALLED ME A EVIL RESIDENT! additional note: DO NOT DO THIS WITH TRICKSTER! HE THREW KNIVES AT ME AND CALLED ME 쓰레기! Myers may kill you and Slinger may shoot you, and knight may have the add on to use the blood warden add on. and the killer might have blood warden...

Nerves of steel

In public matches, get a total of 500 successful Skill-Checks.

If you're having trouble with this one consider increasing your frame rate above 4 and or using a reaction time test[humanbenchmark.com] until your reaction time is like 200 - 300 ms.

I've got your back

In public matches, save a total of 50 survivors from death.

"Death" means hook states. Consider perks like: Babysitter, Borrowed time, or Resilience for faster unhooking and/or the escape of the hooked person.

Perfect Escape

In a public match, as a survivor, complete with at least 5000 blood points in each score category

Play good. Do exactly as the emblems instruct. [deadbydaylight.fandom.com]

Handyman

In public matches, repair generators for a total of 100 full repairs.

As a survivor do the objective (unthinkable)

Risk it all

In a public match, as a survivor, use an ultra-rare item or add-on without using a protective ward.

Bring a Skeleton Key, Rainbow Map, a flashlight with "Odd Bulb", a Med-kit with "Anti Haemorrhagic Syringe" or "Gel Dressings". While bringing one of these options do not offer a White ward.

Vulture

In a public match, escape with an item that another player brought into the match.

You shouldn't go out of your way to get this one. If a survivor dies or drops their item, you can take it and leave with it. If the Killer brings Franklin's Demise you'll get an opening to take something new home.

Engineer

In public matches, repair a Generator in the Damage state , 50 Times. One time per generator.

After a Killer kicks a generator, or if a Survivor gets off a generator while Hex: Ruin is in play the generator will enter the "Damaged" state. Touch the generator to get 1 free point towards this. Use Rookie Spirit to see these generators.

Medic

In public matches, heal others for a total of 100 health states.

Heal people. Consider: Empathy, Empathetic Connection, Autodidact, Botany Knowledge, We'll Make it, For the People, Desperate Measures, or the list of silly perks that work with healing.

Close Shave

Dodge basic attacks or projectiles 100 times in public matches.

If you don't get this achievement by the time you complete the adepts I'll be surprised. The only real perk that consistently helps with this is Sprint burst. Entering a Locker when the killer is right next to you may also make them miss.

Healthy Obsession

Heal other Survivors marked as the Obsession for a total of 10 health states in public matches.

This should happen while you get Medic. If not just keep using a heal build, but take off For the People. Also avoid using perks that increase your chance of becoming the Obsession.

Resurgence

Heal other survivors for 10 health states while at least 3 Survivors are injured, dying or hooked.

This should happen while you get Medic. I hope.

Near-Death Experience

In public matches, get downed only once and escape the match alive, 25 times.

Bring your A game and your favorite build, you gotta loop that killer till they look silly if you wanna force this one.

Leapfrog

In public matches, jump over a pallet or through a window during a chase, 200 times.

There is literally no way you're not getting this one within like 5 hours of play come on.

Made it out alive!

In public matches, escape the match alive for a total of 100 times.

You'll get this one over time. Play survivor, that's all it takes.

Item of Obsession

In a public match, as the killer's obsession, escape as the last survivor without getting hit.

Again, you're gonna wanna bring your A game. You want to make sure the killer understands you're the strongest member of the team and to chase you is to lose the match. That, or they can have Save The Best For Last and ignore you the entire match.

Rescue Mission

Stun the Killer with a pallet while they are carrying a Survivor 5 times

This is out of your control, the chances of a survivor getting downed under a pallet and also while being near you and also the killer not being careful enough to check around is rare. Luckily you can run background player and literally teleport next to the killer and kill them.
Even more consistently you can bring Power Struggle + Unbreakable + Flip-flop + Tenacity or Plot Twist(The Funny)

Every Last Drop

Deplete 30 items in public matches.

Bring items to trails and (this is the hard part) remember to use them.

Cutting Out

In public matches, while The Killer is carrying you, wiggle out of The Killer's grasp 10 times.

This is 90% outside of your control, but you change that. Bring Flip Flop + Boil over to maximize your wiggle potential. Try to go down on high places that force a drop down. If the killer falls while carrying you, 33% of the bar will fill up instantly.

Escape Artist

In a public match, successfully escape the hook and escape.

This will happen at some point and it's probably going to be one of the most legendary moments of your DBD career. If it never happened randomly attempt to force it: Bring Deliverance or Slippery meat and do not get hooked until the End Game. Once exit gates are powered (or 99'd) Kobe off the hook and go straight to the gate.

Outrun Evil

In a public match, crawl your way out through the hatch.

The best way to get this was for the killer to give you hatch, but now we got a new way. Bring Left Behind Or Clairvoyance, with Plot twist. Locate Hatch with the first perk, then use Plot twist on hatch and suddenly you crawled out through hatch. Do note you have to be injured to use Plot Twist, but better then nothing.

Humanitariain

Affect other Survivors with positive status effects 50 times in public matches.

This encourages silly behavior (to be confused with BHVR the company) Run [Buckle Up + For The People + Mettle of Man + Made for this] to instantly become funny. You could also run perks such as: Blood Pact, Boon: Dark Theory, Borrowed Time, No One Left Behind, Teamwork: Power of Two, or We're Gonna Live Forever.

Hemophobia

In a public match, escape the Disturbed Ward without losing a single drop of blood.

Another achievement that the completion requirement is literally just "Get Good." If you run Low Profile you won't bleed if you get hit as the last survivor. Lucky break may also stall your bleeding depending on how much you've healed. No mither prevents bleeding for the whole trail, which could make this a lot easier.

Escaping the Nightmare

In public matches, open the exit gate 35 times as a Survivor.

If you struggle opening the gates bring Wake up, Resilience, Spine Chill, or Lone Survivor.

Selfless Survival

Heal a Survivor from the dying state to the injured state 30 times in public matches

Run [Buckle Up + For The People + Mettle of Man + Made for this]. It'll be funny I think. (or Consider: Empathy, Empathetic Connection, Autodidact, Botany Knowledge, We'll Make it, For the People, Desperate Measures.)

Looter

In public matches, unlock 100 chests

Bring Plunder's Instinct + Ace in the Hole + Appraisal.

With Scars to Show

Go from healthy to injured during a chase and escape. Do this 50 times in public matches.

Escaping a chase can be hard, but there are ways to be silly. Bring Overcome + Lucky break, Parental Guidance + Smash hit, or Deception + Quick & Quiet.

Whiffing to Success

In public matches, cause the killer to miss an attack before taking a vault, 50 times.

Ion gonna lie I got nothin good luck.

Wounded Healer

In public matches, heal other Survivors for a total of 50 health states while you are also injured.

Be silly, run [Solidarity + Reactive Healing +
Resurgence]. Or just run a heal build.

Milk 'n' Cookie

In a public match, take the item from the chest in the basement in at least 30 different trials

Open the basement chest. You have a lot of chances to do this because killers have no reason to enter basement without seeing scratch marks (unless their apart of the 0.2%. of the population using Territorial Imperative users) Also basement chest will always spawn in even if Cut Coin is used.

Insult and Injury

Escape a chase 50 times after stunning the Killer with a pallet in public matches.

I'm not gonna sugar coat it: SMASH HIT + PARENTAL GUIDANCE.

Make Some Noise

In public matches, scream 50 times

Do NOT use calm spirit.

Left For Dead

As the last person still alive, activate the last generator and escape through the exit gate

This one is real hard to get, probably the hardest. Run Wake up + Resilience + Deja Vu so you can open the gate and get the last gen done. You're most likely to get this if when you're the last one alive there is only one gen left. Don't forget to exit through the gates and NOT hatch.

Dismantle

In public matches, break a total of 50 individual Hooks.

Breaking hooks is real easy, but breaking them with purpose can be difficult. You can run Saboteur or you can run [Mettle of Man + Breakout + Flashbang + Dead hard] With either Alex's toolbox or a yellow Toolbox with increased Sabo speed for either box.

Lifting The Fog

Reveal the Killer's aura 50 times in public matches.

You'll need: Alert, Babysitter, Breakdown, Buckle Up, Dark Sense, Fogwise, Inner Focus, Kindred, Object of Obsession, Scene Partner, Troubleshooter, or Wiretap.

The Key to Escape

Escape through the Hatch using a Key in a public match.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Left behind or Clairvoyance + Purple Key or Red Key.

Bodyguard

In public matches, take a protection hit while the Killer is carrying a Survivor, 30 times.

[Mettle of Man + Breakout + Flashbang + Dead hard] (this is one of my favorite builds)

Triage

When a Survivor is injured far away, heal them 30 times without travelling more than 16 meters.

Bring Empathetic Connection and people will spawn in injured asking for heals.

Deep Cleansing

In public matches, cleanse 100 Hex totems.

Knowing where all the totems are is for losers (i can never find those damn things) Bring Small game or Counter force. Or a Map (Has to be able to track killer belongings AKA have Red Twine.)

Second Act

In public matches, recover from dying by yourself or with help 10 times.

This will happen over time, but you can force it with Unbreakable and/or Plot twist.

One More Step

In public matches, take a hit while you have the Endurance status effect 10 times.

Someone will tunnel you eventually and it will happen ten times so you can relax. Or you could run Buckle Up, Dead Hard, Made for This, Off the Record, or Soul Guard (The Funny.)

Taking One For The Team

Protect a recently unhooked by taking a hit near them 250 times.

This would require you to quickly unhook in front of the killer, Run Resilience, Desperate measures, Spine Chill (Silliest option ong), or No One Left Behind.

Not Today

In public matches, unhook yourself 50 times.

If you kill yourself on hook for this reason I will Find You. Bring Deliverance. If you're about to be unhooked and your timer is still pretty full you can also attempt then.

Skilled Generalist

Escape 8 times while repairing the equivalent of 1 generator with only 3 universal perks equipped.

Adept but with perks everyone has. I suggest [Deja Vu + Resilience + We'll Make it.]

Expert Generalist

Escape 8 times while repairing the equivalent of 1 generator with only 2 universal perks equipped.

Adept but with higher difficulty. [Deja Vu + Resilience] would be the probably the easiest.

Kitted Out

In 35 different public matches, pick up and use at least one Special Item as a Survivor

Play against Nemesis, Elliot Spencer (Cenobite), Sadako, Wesker (Unavoidable), Singularity or Xenomorph and deal with their power. You can also use Flashbang.

Fleet of Foot

Help other Survivors by increasing their movement speed 50 times

Humanitarian but only haste (2 less perks options). Use: Blood Pact, Boon: Dark Theory, Borrowed Time, No One Left Behind, or Teamwork: Power of Two.

Power Moves

Equip 0 perks, repair generators for a total of 1 full repair and escape 8 times in public matches.

Adept but you have to look like this guy.

Bless You

Bless a Hex totem 20 times in public matches.

Boons kinda suck now imo but Shadow step is ight. Run any Boon for a while with a map that shows totems (Don't forget Red Twine!) and put blessing hexes as your top priority for awhile.

Hiding Seeker

In a public match, end a chase against any Killer by hiding inside a locker 35 times.

[Deception + Quick and Quiet + Head on]. Lockers are now a tool for you to abuse and you own it. If the killer can't directly see you Deception will get you out of a chase, and if you've used that option now you can quickly enter a locker without making any noise at all. Also, if the killer figures this trick out you have Head on to fight back. Pretty funny build.

Outbreak Breakout

Open the exit gates and escape from Raccoon City Police Department 20 times in public matches.

Bring Wake up and spare handgun ammo. And maybe a few badges.

Do main gen > Refuse to elaborate > Leave.
Consider Prove Thy Self + Deja vu + HyperFocus + Stakeout.

MU/TH/UR Dearest

At this point, we're at 148/239 achievements so that's like half way. Yippie.
Killer Achievements are more in your control since you're half the match.

The Grand Sacrifice

In a public, get 4 sacrifices in a single match.

If you adept now you'll get this one absolutely free!

Perfect Killing

In a public match, as a killer, complete with at least 5000 blood points in each score category.

Same as the survivor achievement. Play good. Do exactly as the emblems instruct. [deadbydaylight.fandom.com]

Preemptive Strike

Hook a Survivor in a public match before any generators have been fully repaired.

Get your favorite killer and run Lethal Pursuer + Corrupt Interventions, and if that's not enough try Ghost Face, Nurse, Blight, Myers, or Spirit for their high speed and/or insta-down ability.

Blood in your mouth

In public matches, kill a total of 25 survivors

Use a Mori. This can be done with either the Offering or Rancor. Then, kill them. Grouping this with Blood on Your Face, or Blood on Your Hands. since you need those two to get this one.

Holiday Get-Together

In a public match, have at least 3 survivors hooked in basement at the same time.

Trapper + Makeshift Wrap + Agitation + Iron Grasp. Basement trapper play style will net you this quickly, especially against lower MMR survivors.

Game Over

In public matches, sacrifice or kill 30 Survivors after the last Generator has been activated

You'll get this easy, just keep playing. A build to get this done quicker would be [Hex: No one escapes Death + No way out + Fire up + Blood Warden + Cypress Memento Mori]

Devoted Gatekeeping

In public matches, sacrifice all survivors before the last generator is repaired, 15 times

If you are having difficulty with this consider watching American Psycho.

Texas BBQ

In public matches, hook 25 Survivors in the Basement. Once per Survivor per match.

[Agitation + Iron Grasp] Consider using Monstrous Shrine if you believe you are the funny. Alternatively, play The Cannibal (Bubba) with Insidious and wait in basement until some goober (clueless) enters basement where you will cold heartedly kill them for trespassing sacred ground (basement)

First to the Punch

Down 30 Survivors next to raised pallets in public matches.

Stop respecting pallets. If that's not enough run Coup de Grâce + Enduring.

Party Crasher

In public matches, damage generators while at least 1 Survivor is Hooked, 100 times.

If you're having trouble getting hooks then kicking generators consider watching the Saw® series.

End of Days

Hook 15 Survivors during the End Game Collapse in public matches.

End Game Collapse (or EGC for short) is referring to once the Exit gates are opened or hatch is closed. A bar at the top of your screen will appear counting down to the the end of days (end of the match) Hook people during this time. Consider Bloodwarden to prevent survivors from leaving while EGC is active.

Outrage

In a public matches, during a chase damage a Survivor who drops a Pallet within a chase, 100 times.

Hitting a survivor after they dropped a pallet is hard because theres a whole block o' wood in the way. Negate this by breaking the rules and playing Nurse. Or you could be really really silly and run [Hubris + Enduring + Spirit Fury]. Hubris of enduring fury is really silly because now they're exposed for dropping a pallet on you that now stuns you for but a second and on top of that the pallet is broken with Bluetooth.

Broken Bodies

In public matches, hook a Survivor while 3 other Survivors are injured, 10 times

Play Plague or Legion to get this done easier. Or be good at the game.

I see You

Down 30 Survivors suffering from the Exposed status effect in public matches

Play Ghost Face or Myers. Or use perks like Dragon's Grip (+ Trail of Torment), Friends 'til the End, Hex: Devour Hope(+ Hex: Undying), Hex: No one escapes Death(+ Blood warden + No way out), Hex: Haunted Ground (+ Hex: Undying), Hubris (+ Enduring + Spirit Fury), Iron Maiden (Funny), Make Your Choice, Rancor(+ Save the Best for Last) Starstruck(+ Clown + Garish Make-Up Kit + Cigar Box + Iron Grasp + Agitation + Mad Grit).

Heavy Burden

In public matches, hit 25 different individual Survivors while carrying another Survivor.

I'm NOT going to sugar coat it [Clown + Garnish Make-Up Kit + Cigar Box + Starstruck + Iron Grasp + Agitation + Mad Grit]

A Fast Death

Damage a Survivor with the Haste Status effect 8 times in public matches.

Survivors faster then you? Simply get faster. Play Nurse, Spirit, Blight or Wesker. Or deal damage from further away! Play Huntress, Plague, Pyramid Head, Trickster, elliot, or Artist. Alternatively you could, hypothetically play Clown and give survivors haste before hitting them.

Denied!

In public matches, close the hatch 30 times.

There's no perks to assist you with this, but some powers help more then others. Singularity can see a lot of the map very quickly, Blight, Nurse, Wesker, Spirit, HillBilly and Chucky have abilities to allow them to move quickly. Oh and you can use the offerings that force hatch spawns at shack or main too.

Death of Ignorance

Down a Survivor suffering from the Oblivious status effect 15 times in public matches.

Freddy passively inflicts oblivious after the survivors end up falling asleep, or you could use Hex: Plaything, Alien Instinct, Deathbound (The Funny), Hex: Retribution (The Sillly), Hysteria, or perk named Nemesis (+ Hubris + Enduring + Spirit Fury).

Chorus of Chaos

In public matches, make 30 unique survivors scream.

They will NOT use calm spirit.

Punch Drunk

Apply Oblivious status effect to Survivors 30 times in public matches.

Freddy I don't wanna be asleep anymore...

Prowler

Detect 100 Survivors with Killer Instinct in public matches.

Use killers the cause killer instinct. Play Spirit (With Dried Cherry Blossom or Mother's Glasses), Legion, Ghost Face, Demogorgon, Pyramid Head, Twins, Nemesis, Elliot, Artist, Sadako, Dredge, Wesker, Knight, or Xenomorph.) (Please do not play adriana.)

High Speed Pursuit

As a Killer, vault 50 times while chasing Survivors in public matches.

This will happen eventually, especially if you use bamboozle. However become funny today and use [Myers + Superior anatomy + Bamboozle + Fire up] to literally slither through vaults.

A feast for the Entity

In a public matches, sacrifice a total of 1000 survivors.

If you struggle with this achievement consider enrolling in college to become a doctor since apparently you can do no harm. You'll get A Bite for the Entity getting this one.

Silent Approach

In public matches, interrupt and grab 25 Survivors while they are repairing generators.

You will have to be undetectable for a survivor to be on a generator near you without running away. Tier 1 Myers does this the most, Ghost face can try this, but if you appear on the screen of the survive they will get an audio cue so be careful. Consider trying perks like Tinkerer, Trail of Torment, Dark Devotion (Funny), Furtive Chase, Machine Learning, or even Hex: Plaything although that will be inconsistent.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: Nurse's blink attack still allows grab, you can *hypothetically* teleport to a generator and grab a survivor off it. Really hard to do but very silly. Also you'll have to do that at least once anyway for From the Void She Kills.

Complete the Evolution

In public matches, injure or down 3 Survivors who are Hindered.

Why is it only three? is it for like only one match? Either way, play Clown, Freddy, Blight, or Wesker.
The wiki page says that it has to be as singularity but I don't believe it's right. If that is the case you will have to use Forced Hesitation (+ Agitation + Iron grasp + Mad Grit)

Ghost in the Machine

Damage 50 generators while Undetectable in public matches.

Me when I play Ghost Face. Just play Myers, Ghost Face, Sadako, Dredge or Chucky (I think). Or you could be funny and use Insidious and wait next to a generator for two seconds and then kick the generator.

Multi-tasker

Down 30 Survivors while carrying another Survivor in public matches.

I'm NOT going to sugar coat it [Clown + Garnish Make-Up Kit + Cigar Box + Starstruck + Iron Grasp + Agitation + Mad Grit]

From the Deep

Grab a Survivor hiding inside a locker 25 times in a public matches.

This is really out of your control. You can try to increase your odds by playing Spirit and appearing in front of a locker and instantly check it before they even see you, can use artist's birds to check lockers for you and open lockers that have killer instinct on them. Using I'm all ears, Alien Instinct, Barbecue & Chili, Darkness Revealed (+ Iron Maiden), Nowhere to hide, or Scourge Hook: Floods of Rage. These perks can show you survivors before they know they can see you, opening chances for you to see them enter lockers without them knowing.

Tools of the Trade

Achieve a merciless victory 5 times in a public match with only 3 universal perks equipped.

Adept but for perks that came free with your $#!@%!@% killer. I suggest Sloppy butcher + Hex: No One Escapes Death + Bitter Murmur,

Disarm and Dismember

In public matches, hit 50 Survivors holding a Special item.

The best way to get this one is forcing them to hold Special item. The only killers that give survivors items are: Nemesis, elliot, Wesker, Singularity, and Sadako.

Outta Nowhere

In public matches, hit 40 Survivors with a <i>basic attack</i> while you are Undetectable.

At this point you know how to become undetectable. Ghost Face, Myers, Dredge, Chucky. Trail of Torment, Beast of Prey, Dark Devotion, Furtive Chase, Insidious (The), Machine Learning, or Tinkerer.

Every killer has at least two achievements, their adept and then another one for using their power. If you play the killer for more then five (5) matches you'll usually get it. Unless it's an older killer. Then you have to play them for five hundred matches (50O).
These ones are really simple, but they do force you to play the killer so I'll try to provide the build I use to make things easier, I don't play all the killers though so I can't provide a build for all of them.

Cripple them all

In public matches, with the Trapper, pick up a total of 100 survivors caught in your Bear Traps

If a survivor walks into your pick them up instead of just swinging at them.

With this build you want to pick up the obsession to save your Save stacks. Agitation and Iron grasp should let you escort your victims to basement without any issue, and corrupt grants you time to set up.

Jump Scares

In public matches, with the Wraith, Surprise & hit a total of 100 survivors

This means to Uncloak and then hit them while you still have the speed boost.

Sloppy Butcher on a stealth killer top text, Save the best for last on a M1 killer bottom text.
Jolt is a pretty solid perk and Make Your Choice can be really effective since you can sneak up on the exposed target. This is amplified by the add ons making your uncloaking completely unknown to survivors.

The Grind

In public matches, with the Hillbilly, chainsaw a total of 100 survivors.

Use your ability effectively as Hillbilly (impossible). The skill floor for this killer was too high for me so I had to resort to using friendly matches to do it.

This killer can quickly cover a lot of distance. barbecue and chili will show you where the survivors are after hooks, Lethal lets you get started right away, Tinkerer provides information + undetectable allowing for some really silly chainsaws, and you can kick the gen that triggered tinkerer allowing for machine learning to let you do it again.

In the void she walks

In public matches, with the Nurse, blink and successfully land an attack a total of 500 times.

Play nurse until it pops.

From the void she kills

In a public match, chain 3 or more blinks and land on a survivor, grabbing him successfully.

This one is really hard to manage, mainly due to the limitation of how many Torn Bookmarks you have. Nurse used to have 7 or so blinks but now she has only 2, so to get 3 blinks you must use the iri add on. Try doing this ASAP, because the obliviousness of lower MMR survivors will be your best shot at shrieking three times and then grabbing a survivor.

You gonna look at scott lennedy keon's baby blue eyes (as pictured) and tell me that shadowborn isn't enough?

Evil Incarnate

In a public match, kill all 4 survivors with the Tier III Evil Within.

Survivors players be like "Yeah ok I WILL hide in a locker until the round terminate timer happens. This is a reasonable course of action." Run double Iri add ons.

The man behind the bush

In public matches, with The Shape, stalk for a total of 300 power tier increase.

Play Myers more then once

Save on a M1 killer. Myers already has a fast vault in tier three, but equipping both lets you walk right through them which is really scary and really silly. Mindbreaker will also prevent survivors from running away quickly which is always nice.

Even Punishment

In a public match, teleport to your Phantasm traps and hit all 4 individual survivors at least once.

Play Hag but effectively.

Triggered

In public matches, with The Hag, cause survivors to trigger her Phantasm traps 300 times.

(twitter joke here) Play hag but often.

Save on a M1 killer, bottom text. Corrupt grants set up time, Make your choice can get a swift punish on survivors unhooking carelessly. Haunted leads to some really silly moments where you can down one or two people for trying to prevent something that you didn't bring. Always silly to instant down a survivor mid chase because a teammate did something.

Mad House

In a public match, bring the 4 survivors to insanity Tier 3 at least once in the same match

Bring Mary's Letter> Bring both Calm addons> Bring Distressing> Use Big shock while in the middle of the map repeatedly.

Shocking Treatment

In public matches, hit survivors 500 times with The Doctor's Shock Therapy attack.

Not gonna sugar coat it: Save the Best For Last. That with Rapid Brutality can lead to some swift downs. If you're ignoring the Obsession because of the first perk you could benefit from the ability to instantly kill them at the end of the trail with no strings attached. Haunted can also drastically switch flip the game to your side.

Skilled Huntress

In public matches, down survivors 20 times with The Huntress Hatchets further than 24 meters.

Learn some crazy line ups and just go for crazy shots and you'll get this in due time, hopefully before the other huntress
achievement

Swirling Death

In public matches, throw 1000 Hatchets.

You don't even have to hit anything just throw them thangs.

I wasn't too good with Huntress so this was my build. You have to go through lockers to reload anyway so lets make the most of that Iron Maiden + the gloves make checking lockers comically quick, Darkness revealed shows you survivors near lockers when you check, and all survivors in your terror radius scream with The Locker Funny. I'm all ears allows for some reads in chase that can be capitalized on with your ability.

Butcherin'

In public matches, with The Cannibal, successfully chainsaw a total of 100 times.

Play some Bubba. (And use your chainsaw)

With an insta down power you're pretty tough, now just take vaults from survivors with Bamboozle and Crowd Control and take pallets from them with Spirit fury and Enduring. also these are the silliest addons to use.

Dream Demon

In public matches, pull 200 into the Dream World.

Play Freddy...

Freddy can easily get to generators since he can teleport, with the purple add on they wont know if you're really coming. Ruin + Surveillance shows you when people are at generators which is pretty cool, Discordance also can be used instead of undying for a more consistent effect. Save on a M1 Killer. Middle text.

I Want to Play a Game

In public matches, with The Pig, put 125 Reverse Bear Traps on Survivors.

Play Pig but REMEMBER TO PUT THE HAT ON THEM.

Very simple build, Sloppy butcher is real effective on stealth killers, and with nurse's calling you can easily interrupt healing and find injured survivors. Save because m1 killer funny and Rancor because you ignore the obsession until the end of the trial.

Smoked

In public matches, down 100 Survivors while they are intoxicated by The Afterpiece Tonic.

Play Clown and down people while they're slowed by the pink gas. You can use pinky finger addon to down them as soon as their infected but like come on, do really have more then like 6 of those?

Back pack build on clown is really effective since you can increase movement speed even further on pick up as well as aura reading of everyone nearby you. Agi lets you move faster and expose more survivors, Starstruck exposes them, Iron grasp gives you more backpack time, and Mad grit lets you down survivors while keeping your first down in check. Solid build I rate 8/10

Conniption

In public matches, with The Spirit, use Yamaoka's Haunting to down 30 Survivors.

Hit survivors after leaving power. From this killer and beyond the achievements are a lot shorter requiring a more minimal amount of time to finish them.

my ass is not pausing my music & listening carefully to the game to know where tf survivors are constantly for the entire match

Deranged Pursuit

In public matches, as the Legion, down 25 different Survivors that have Deep Wound applied.

Your power inflicts Deep Wound, and you can down injured people with your basic attack. Use your power for the first hit then down them with the next. Do this effectively by treating the last survivor that killer instinct reveals to you like this.

Anti Tunnelling build on killer?! The trick to this is to make sure the obsession is not the last one you hook. Every new hook should be a pain res (unless you decide otherwise, or cannot access one), and once you hook everyone all generators will be blocked due to grim embrace. Also survivors will have no idea whats happening because only like 0.4% of players even use grim embrace. Lastly if things go south No way out is now fully charged and you'll have everyone exposed. Really fun build and also heavily encourages you to split hooks.

Terminal Illness

In public matches, with The Plague, down 50 Survivors affected by the maximum infection.

If you encounter a healthy survivor show'em what you had for dinner until they reciprocate the gesture. Then smack'em with the gumball machine (if you do not have one cry for several days then use the stock melee)


sorry guys she makes me sick :(

Totally Vulnerable

In public matches, with Ghost Face, down 50 Marked Survivors.

Marked means the ones with the red thing on their picture. Play Ghost Face for a few rounds.


Save on a M1 killer.
Nurse's on a stealth killer.
not really gonna sugar coat it.
Jolt works well if you manage to mark the target and down them since the generator will explode from that, or if they spot you before the mark appears you can use Call of Brine to kick the generator resulting in good slowdown either way. (Also Jolt will still work on CoB gens so chances of double slow are pretty good).
Philly on its way to be one of Ghost faces best add ons ong



Not only are Demogorgon's achievements gone but also they're 1/3 of the optional cast (as of December 1st 2023) for 100%ing the game's achievements so I never got them nor played them but i'm told they're very epic and pog champion

BloodBath

In public matches with The Oni, down 75 Survivors during Blood Fury.

Play Oni and enter rage mode as often as possible, then down people. Really simple but let me give you a quick tip: You CAN do a quick attack whilst enraged. It just has to be a very brief click.

You're in the market for blood orbs so you want plenty of suppliers. Sloppy butcher flat out keeps them injured longer, and you can interrupt heals, sometimes you don't have to physically see them due to Coulrophobia making healing impossible if you're near them, lastly death bound (The silly) will allow you to know where survivors are when they finish healing, alerting you to where a lot of blood orbs will be and where survivors may be. Oni is pretty effective at snowballing in power, Infectious Fright plays on that by showing you where to go next while in power.

Bound and Downed

Down speared Survivors 30 times with The Deathslinger in public matches.

You need to down people after shooting them while they're tethered to you. If you're having trouble with this one, consider playing Aim Trainer or CS2.

Save the best for last on its way to be on 90% of these builds. Make your Choice is pretty good since you can bring the exposed one to you, but it can be risky due to your movement speed. Devour hope is also pretty effective if your hexes aren't cleansed.

Cleansed in Agony

Ensnare 30 Survivors in Cages of Atonement with The Executioner in public matches.

This can be difficult due to torment being inflicted by survivors walking into your trail. Force them to either die now or walk into it by placing it in loops mid chase.

Personal favorite (thats why the heart is there). Pyramid head's ability is strong enough, You hit through walls, you're kinda breaking the rules, but they can still dodge and mind game still. Put your back into it with I'm all Ears, They have to do at least one rush action in a good chase, use this to hit them after vaults. Nurse's calling allows you to exploit their greed for health by hitting 2 - 3 survivors if they dare heal near you. No where to hide allows you to get even more aura reading, which is vital for hitting survivors who believe that they're hidden from your eyeless view. Lethal Pursuer extends all aura reading which is super good for an aura reading build, and on top of that you can get the jump on survivors who think they're hidden.

Speed Kills

Hit 30 survivors with a Lethal Rush in public match

As the blight you have the unique ability to slam your skull against all kinds of surfaces, it is required to recreate this in real life to play the killer effectively. To get this achievement you will have to slam against a wall, then rush again and then hit a survivor.




Good Killer sure, but not good for me.
I'd suggest Barbecue & Chili, Trail of Torment, Make Your Choice, and Thrilling Tremors.

I'd suggest lethal pursuer but a man in a top hat once used that to put me in basement within 22 seconds and then camped me in basement then called me toxic and i still haven't recovered from that.

Tag Team

With The Twins, down 10 Survivors while Victor is clinging to them in a public match.

Try to make survivors get close the Charlotte (The main body) then use Victor to prevent them from having enough time. Hard to force but it'll happen while you play the killer 0.1% of the killer population plays and that the developers have mostly forgotten about.

Silly perks that work in general. Also Terminus could be rather effective with victor's ability to down injured survivors quickly. Now what seperates the victors from the kickers is the addon you choose. The cat addon will show you where victor will end up on pounce. Sounds good? Wrong. This addon is proof on how little the devs care about the twins, because the indicator is the same for other killers that have an add on like this, which is to say it its way too big for Victor's eyes. If you use this addon you will never be able to see anything when pouncing, meaning if you use this add on you either are a new player who didn't know any better or you are an absolute giga chad, who knows where enemies are based on instinct alone.

One Thousand Cuts

Deal maximum Laceration on Survivors 50 times in public matches.

throw knife til it hurtie.

Nearly the same build as Huntress. Two perks that reward locker usage and an Addon + Perk to speed up the process. Save works pretty well I think since you tend to get a good amount of chances to swing at a fool. Trickblades are the funny.

Biological Weaponry

Down Contaminated Survivors with The Nemesis 65 times in public matches using Tentacle Strike.

Make whipping cool again with Nemesis. Punching them may feel cool but whipping down obstacles feels brutal. For this achievement you'll need to use your power on survivors while they're both injured and covered in blue. You can punch then whip them or whatever you like. Just make sure they kiss the floor due to a tentacle whip.

Save on a M1 killer bottom text. Whip the obsession punch everyone else. Dark devotion is funny as hell and needs to be used more. I put devour and undying in this build because I feel nemesis has the best mori in this game by far, never felt like more a monster then removing the skull from 16 survivors BACK2BACK. Also faster zombies are downright oppressive. Note: Always Mori Jill, Rebecca, and Chris if applicable.

Tear Their Soul Apart

Bind Survivors with a possessed chain 50 times in public matches

elliot's power aint too hard to figure out. Shouldn't take too long after that.




I hate going against this killer so I don't play'em.
Really like the voice lines, chains, and Blue though.

Also being able to open the box without having to guess the timing of the chains now is pretty cool.

Caws of Death

Down 50 Survivors with Dire Crows in public matches.

This can be real easy, while in chase with survivors place a bird looking at a vault or a pallet, then place a bird further away looking at the first bird. The best way to do this would be having them making eye contact but that can be hard to set up. A three way deadlock is usually better. If they walk into the line in front of a bird, send them, if they walk through birds then activate them. Should result in injury or death.

She's kinda like pyramid but longer range and less strength, thus second favorite + heart. Lethal Pursuer allows for really strong starts, with injury happening in seconds. This also buffs the rest of the build. Barbecue & Chili Allows for the same sort of long range sniper shots, but now against more injured targets. A successful snipe triggering surge is very funny gives you a +Silly to the style meter. Side note: In order to snipe two birds have to hit the same target with double the distance of the line in front of the first bird. Lastly All Ears allows you to not only make good reads but also let's you snipe with your wall ignoring ability.

Viral Video

Apply Condemned on Survivors 30 times in public matches.

Wiki apparently doesn't want you to know about this one...
To get this achievement try using your teleportation ability, hitting survivors, kicking generators, informing your love ones of how much you value them suddenly and then turning notifications, and location off and changing your account settings to "offline" or "invisible".



The only reason I don't play this killer is because she is 2 feet tall.
Luckily killers don't come smaller.

Bump in the Night

Down Survivors during Nightfall 50 times in public matches.

During Nightfall survivors struggle to see you but you'll see them easier, use this to your advantage to get the drop on survivors! (They will NOT heal your loud ass bells or choir of damned voices as you get closer)

The ability to teleport allows you to quickly leave hooks, so getting devour stacks won't be a problem. Undying as extra insurance because being able to get one survivor as a treat is the most important thing. Save on a m1 killer, bottom text. Rancor to cover up the weakness of save + helps secure the 1 meal quota to not starve to death between trails.

Collision Course

Slam one Survivor into another 10 times in public matches.

Wesker is my (evil) resident shtewpid build character but for this one I'll try to have a more reasonable build. I'm not going to sugar coat it: Save the best for last. Abuse Wesker's terror radius by making it 2000 meters with distressing, then tell survivors they cannot heal due to Coulrophobia. Also tell them hitting skill checks is only allowed by survivors who matter with Unnerving presence. The Iridescent Vial grants pretty good slow down and also exposes people who become infected but red. Very strong add on and also the gloves because recharge faster means move faster and also grab faster.

bonus: use wesker's hidden powers:

Cruelty Loves Company

With The Knight, damage a Survivor while they are actively pursued by a Guard 50 times.

This one forces you to play poorly sometimes. After using your power you're going to have to hit them before the guard does. You can corner a survivor at a loop and then place the guard and they may choose to get hit by you instead of dying.

I've prepared one of the silly builds today Trial of torment means undetectable until someone's on that gen again, which is really fun now that it's not gone after you hit someone. Now to double that you've got Dragon's Grip. This is funny because now when they touch that generator they'll become exposed, allowing you to hard punish for trying to ruin your fun. Since you'll be kicking a lot you can use Brutal strength to try and get this done quicker. Also Save because Knights animation sped up makes me feel as if I praise the blade after each it. Also the flag iri addon because T bagging survivors will pay with their toxicity NOW before I have to ask "Where is my mind?"

Thrill of the Chase

In public matches, down 10 Claw Trapped survivors.

When survivors attempt to take down a drone they'll get claw trapped and you can track them down and kill them for tampering with government property. Do this like 10 times (should take like 5 matches) and you'll be done with it.



this killer is literally 75% of the reason I decided to uninstall this game and stop playing it. If you like this killer just imagine whatever my pfp is at the time of you reading this guide giving you a firm thumbs down for your actions.

Slip Into the Stream

In public matches, hit 30 survivors that you recently teleported to.

Shoot them with the camera, then shoot them with your mega blaster then shoot them with your scythe tendril thing.

Complete the Evolution

In public matches, injure or down 3 Survivors who are Hindered.

Putting it here because the wiki tells me its as the singularity (Which i'm still certain it is false) but if it is then you have no choice but to use Forced hesitation to get this.

Kinda embarrassed that most of my builds use Save and they all look like the exact same but I either use joke builds or Pyramid Head, Artist, Nemesis or Legion. Make your Choice is exploitable since you can literally teleport to the hook of your own will, Save on a M1 killer works, Rapid brutality compliments it well, and thrilling tremors is a really good information perk as well as slowdown.

Terror of LV-426

In public matches, hit 30 Survivors using a Tail attack.

[Alien used Tail whip! It was super effective.]x30. You're forced into crawl mode as often as possible so just use it when you can.

Joke's On You

In public matches, hit a Survivor within 3 seconds of performing a Scamper 10 times.

DBD mfers be like "Ok Murmur shows you how to go into Hidey Ho mode then proceed to Scamper into Down to Pop Goes the Weasel. Territorial Imperative." Play Chucky I assume? this guy came out about a week after I was done with the game.

Only played Xeno for like 7 games to get the achievement and haven't played chucky as of this guide so

If I missed anything, feel free to let me know. This should be all of the achievements as of chapter 30. I probably won't update this guide with future since most achievements are self explanatory.
Another note: Most of my builds don't take into consideration not owning any perks Otzdarva has made builds that may be useful to you if mine aren't good enough[otzdarva.com] Good luck on the grind and use Boon: Horse to destroy lesser Killers.
