Meg Thomas is one of the more popular survivors available to players in Dead by Daylight. Now that Dead by Daylight is available to many more players on mobile devices, Meg may just be the survivor for many newcomers.

Speed and agility are the main factors that come with Meg and her perks. She is all about keeping a good amount of distance between her and the killer. With the goal of Dead by Daylight for survivors being to start up generators and escape, Meg's perks allow her to keep the killer distracted in a chase for longer amounts of time, allowing fellow survivors to repair generators without fear.

Meg Thomas is an energetic girl with a fiery soul that channeled her energy in running track before being dragged into the entity's realm during an unfortunate run in the woods. Meg is left trying to survive against the killers sent by the entity as she worries for the sick mother she was previously devoted to caring for.

Like all other survivors, Meg has three initially exclusive perks to her that can later be taught to other survivors owned by the player. Her perks are Quick & Quiet, Sprint Burst, and Adrenaline. Playing as Meg, survivors should stay focused on generators until the killer pushes them into a chase. From there, Meg players should try and force the chase to last as long as possible so that the killer's time is wasted and the other survivors can stay safe. Doing this will contribute to Meg players' Light Bringer emblem.

Quick and Quiet

Quick and Quiet is a perk that allows prevents killers from hearing and seeing loud noise notifications caused by the equipped player performing a rushed action such as quickly vaulting over an obstacle or hiding in a locker. This is great for confusing killer players during a chase. It can only be triggered once before needing to recharge, so players should stay mindful if they do not want to alert the killer.

Level 1 - Perk can be triggered once every 30 seconds
Level 2 - Perk can be triggered once every 25 seconds
Level 3 - Perk can be triggered once every 20 seconds

Sprint Burst

Spring Burst remains as one of the more popular perks among survivor players with its simple use and efficiency. It allows players to get an extra burst of speed when they start running that allows them to go 150% of their normal running speed for a maximum of 3 seconds. Afterward, it will cause the Exhausted status effect and the perk cannot be used again until Exhausted has gone away. Players cannot recover from the Exhausted status effect while running.

Level 1 - Causes Exhausted for 60 seconds
Level 2 - Causes Exhausted for 50 seconds
Level 3 - Causes Exhausted for 40 seconds

Adrenaline

Adrenaline is a great perk for the end-game of a round. It heals equipped players by one health state and allows them to sprint 150% of their normal running speed for 5 seconds once the Exit Gates are powered. If a player is being held by a killer or is on the hook when the gates are powered, it will activate once the player is freed. Like Sprint Burst, it will inflict Exhaustion.
