Should You Try And Shine Chucky or the Spirit for a Flashlight Save In Dead by Daylight?

If you’re hoping to get the flashy save in Dead by Daylight, you’re going to want to aim for The Spirit of Charles Lee Ray. Since both the Chucky face and Charles line up almost perfectly, you’ll see that the majority of the focus will land on Charles Lee Ray, and a flashlight save will work… as long as the Killer isn’t running Lightborne. Just make sure that you hold it directly on his face, and you’ll be good to hopefully save your partner.

Alongside a variety of unique perks that make Chucky a very powerful killer, the initial confusion as to who you may need to shine a flashlight on could make things difficult for the first few matches you go against The Good Guy. His tiny size, combined with his general speed and efficiency make him a solid choice for a Killer, and this extra bit of bait and switch may be slightly tricky for many players facing off against him for the first time.
