How to Get Bloodpoints Fast in Dead by Daylight: Caps, Offerings, Blood Hunts and Free Gifts

Every perk, add-on and prestige level in Dead by Daylight costs Bloodpoints, and with a roster this big the grind never really ends. The good news: a handful of habits can easily double what you earn per hour, and some Bloodpoints are free just for logging in.

This guide is up to date for the 10.2.0 Mid-Chapter update (October 2026) and the follow-up fixes through 10.2.2a. The big 10.2.0 perk overhaul didn't change the Bloodpoint caps, offerings or Bloodweb costs, so everything below still applies.

Quick answer

Requirements

• Any character on either side. Every match pays into your Bloodpoint wallet, whichever role you play.
• Bloodpoint offerings. You get them from Bloodwebs; save the strong ones.
• Access to the in-game Store for the weekly gift and code redemption.

Step 1: Claim the weekly Free Gift

1. Open the Store from the main menu.
2. Claim the Free Gift. It refreshes every Tuesday at 15:00 UTC, together with the Shrine of Secrets.
3. Do it every week. In 2026 the gift has been 250,000 Bloodpoints each week, which is more than six capped matches without offerings.

Log-in gifts and codes don't count toward the 5 million cap, so you never waste them.

Step 2: Fill all four score categories

Every match splits your score into four categories. Survivors earn in Objectives, Survival, Altruism and Boldness; Killers in Brutality, Deviousness, Hunter and Sacrifice. Each one caps at 10,000 BP, so a perfect match pays 40,000 BP before bonuses.

1. Don't tunnel one category. Once you hit 10,000 in, say, Objectives, extra gens earn you nothing for that category.
2. As Survivor, repair generators, heal and unhook teammates, take chases and escape (or at least survive long) to touch every category.
3. As Killer, chase, hit and hook several different Survivors instead of focusing on one, so Hunter, Brutality and Sacrifice all fill up.

Step 3: Burn an offering every match

Offering bonuses are paid after the match and aren't limited by the category caps, so they stack on top of a capped score.

Category offerings only boost one category, so the all-category options are usually the better pick.

Step 4: Take the role bonus

Behaviour adds a Bonus Bloodpoints incentive to the role (Survivor or Killer) that matchmaking needs more of at that moment. The bonus is set per player, based on your region and skill level, and changes during the day. Check both role buttons before queuing, and if one shows a bonus and you're happy to play it, switch.

Step 5: Save offerings for Blood Hunts

A Blood Hunt doubles all Bloodpoint gains after each match. These events are announced ahead of time on the official channels and usually run around holidays and anniversaries.

1. Stockpile your cakes, puddings and party streamers in the weeks before.
2. Play as many matches as you can during the event, and burn an offering in each one.
3. Spend down before it starts. If your wallet is near the 5 million cap, earnings from matches and quests are wasted.

Step 6: Clear quests and redeem codes

1. Do your Daily Quests. They refresh every day, pay Bloodpoints plus Rift Fragments and complete automatically, so most finish during normal play.
2. Redeem codes in the Store with the Redeem button. Codes rarely stay active long and are sometimes Bloodpoint bundles, so check official social posts and promo events.

Step 7: Spend Bloodpoints efficiently

Bloodweb node prices are fixed by rarity:

At Level 50 you can Prestige for 20,000 BP, up to Prestige 100. Prestige 1 unlocks that character's unique perks for every character at Tier I, and Prestige 2 and 3 raise them to Tier II and III. Prestiges 4 to 9 unlock bloody cosmetics and perk charms. If your goal is unlocking teachable perks across the roster, focus on getting key characters to Prestige 3 first.

Tips

• Pair offerings with a busy match. A +100% cake on a 10,000 BP match is worth far less than on a 35,000 BP one.
• Party Streamers are best in a Survivor group or a full custom lobby, since everyone gets the bonus.
• Stay below the cap. Spend regularly so match and quest earnings never hit 5 million.
• Rotate roles. Whichever side has the bonus that hour is the faster farm.

Common mistakes

• Sitting at the cap. At 5 million BP, everything you earn from matches and quests is lost.
• Wasting a cake on a short match. Ending a Killer game fast or dying early wipes out most of the bonus.
• Ignoring the Free Gift. Missing a week throws away 250,000 Bloodpoints.
• Burning your best offerings right before a Blood Hunt. Save them for the double event.
