Dead by Daylight Lunar New Year event: Lurking Stripes cosmetics, Charms, & end date

Wondering what Dead by Daylight’s 2022 Lunar New Year event, Lurking Stripes, has got in store for you in your next Trial? From toolboxes to flashlights, offerings, and cosmetics, we’ve got everything you need to know right here.

We’re heading into the Year of the Tiger, and that means that Dead by Daylight is back with another annual Lunar New Year Event. Known as Lurking Stripes, this year’s event brings more of that familiar Spring Festival flavor to the game.

As with every year since 2018, DBD has taken on a slightly different look for this holiday celebration. From cosmetics to gameplay items and more, here’s everything you need to know about Dead by Daylight’s Lurking Stripes event.

Lurking Stripes will run for two weeks and bring a new flavor to the game.

When does the Dead by Daylight Lurking Stripes event end?

The Lurking Stripes event kicked off on January 25, 2022, at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 7 PM GMT / 9 PM CEST and will end on February 8, 2022.

This leaves players with two full weeks from the start date to hop into the game and enjoy the feline-themed update.

During this time, players can enjoy a more festive in-game experience, where Generators and Hooks are outfitted with a suite of fireworks to better match the vibe of the season. These will go off when generators have been completed, or if a Survivor has been hooked.

The unlockable cosmetics all feature a similar theme: Tigers.

The two lion-themed charms will look great on a Survivor or hanging from a Killer’s hook.

Dead by Daylight Lurking Stripes free Bloodpoints

During the event, players will be able to receive a free daily prize of 50,000 Bloodpoints, just by logging in. Called ‘The Daily Bounty’, this is one gift that should not be passed up.

You’ll also be able to earn more Bloodpoints during a trial by utilizing the event’s Red Envelopes, detailed under the next subheading. For DBD codes to redeem even more Bloodpoints and Charms, make sure to check out our dedicated guide.

Dead by Daylight Lurking Stripes items and offerings

The main focus of the event will be on collecting Lunar offerings in the form of hóngbāo. These iconic Red Envelopes represent good luck and prosperity in many East Asian cultures and will reflect that in-game by rewarding players with additional Bloodpoints.

Available within your Bloodweb, the Red Envelope offering can be used to spawn it in your next Trial.

All players will be able to claim the envelope, but only one person can do so (unless you’re interacting with your own).
During a match, the Aura of your envelope will be visible to you. Upon interacting with it, it will reveal its location to all other players.
Once it’s been claimed by someone else, both you and that player will receive a varying amount of Bloodpoints, called ‘Tiger’s Blessing’, along with the owner of that envelope receiving one of the eight Lunar cosmetics.

While the Festive Toolbox may have a much faster repair rate than some of its other counterparts, it’s also a little noisier, too.

As well as Red Envelopes, there’s also two new items that Survivors can use, too, each providing its own positives and negatives within a Trial:

Item	Results
Festive Toolbox	32 charges, and repair speed is increased by 50%. Also unlocks the ‘sabotage’ action. Great Skill Checks detonate a small cluster of fireworks, whereas Failed Skill Checks send off fireworks,
Chinese Firecracker	Detonates into loud bangs and intense light flashes. Can be used as a distraction, or to temporarily blind Killers.
