Generators are whatDBD’sgameplay revolves around.
Generators are the survivors' main targets.
They must repair five of them to power the exit gate and escape the trial.
The killer’s job is to prevent them from doing this.
This lets them watch over them.
They’re highlighted in red by default, but some perks can change their color to telegraph different situations.
The survivors have a bit of a tougher time locating them.
The generators' locations are not fixed, so you’ll need to find them on your own.
Each realm, however, has a single generator which never changes its location between matches.
It’s usually located in the main building in the center of the map.
The exceptions to this are maps featuring several buildings, or maps which have completely inaccessible buildings.
Even they, however, still feature a single fixed generator.
The locations are:
You’ll need to find other generators on your own.
On open maps we recommend looking around the killer’s shack, hills or small mazes.
Look out for lantern poles.
There are ways you’re free to make your generator search easier.
Some perks let you see their auras.
Even the most common green map reveals the auras of generators within a specific radius.
The process itself is simple - approach the machine and hold down the repair button.
Be careful, as skill checks may appear at any time while you’re repairing it.
You need 90 charges to fully complete a generator.
Completing a generator alone, without any perks or toolboxes, takes 90 seconds.
Repairing a generator with others imposes a stackable penalty on each one of you.
For each additional person repairing the generator, your repair speed will drop by 15%.
Despite this penalty, repairing in a group still goes faster than repairing alone.
As an example, let’s assume two survivors are repairing a generator.
Each one is repairing it with 85% efficiency.
The repair process can be sped up as well.
There are various perks which let you complete generators faster.
These are:
Sole Survivor, obviously,isn’t very useful for most of the game.
It’s an endgame perk which requires you to outlive all your allies.

There you’ll find a page dedicated to quick generator repair.
Regressing generators (Killer)
The killer’s objective is to eliminate all survivors.
They have to do so before they manage to fix the generators.
it’s possible for you to, of course, slow them down.
Let’s illustrate this with an example.
Fully regressing a 99% repaired generator, assuming no one stops the regression, takes about 6 minutes.
Matches usually last 10-15 minutes.
This means fully regressing a generator would take about half the match.
Still, it’s possible for you to make use of kicking to gain information.
Regressing generators emit sparks.
There are a number of perks you’ve got the option to use to slow down generator repair.
