How to unlock the Disarm and Dismember achievement in Dead by Daylight - Definitive Guide

Special items are anything that can be created or found in a map but not taken out of the match; (not medkits, toolboxes etc.). There are a few killers that give the survivor the option of using the special item. Currently, the only way survivors can create a special item is Leon's Flashbang perk.

For this achievement, you must hit/attack a survivor holding a special item. A survivor can be hit multiple times during a match.

Best ways to get this:
1. Wesker or Singularity. Look for a survivor holding the spray or EMP device respectively. Down them, let them wiggle free, chase them and down them again. You are probably more likely to be able to grind this quick with Wesker instead of Singularity due to the EMP having the option of getting used while survivors are running.
2. A more passive way to get this by hitting a survivor holding a flashbang. This method will not be as quick but if you have many other achievements, this one will likely happen on it's own.

Special Item:
Nemesis: Syringes are consumed after survivors use them so not likely to get a hit before the item is gone.
Cenobite/Pinhead: Teleport to the survivor that is try to solve the puzzle. GOOD
Onryo/Ring: Survivors typically don't deal with the tapes unless they have to. So, rare to hit them while holding a tape. -------CURRENTLY BUGGED/NOT WORKING
Wesker: Look for the spray bottle in a survivor's hands.
Singularity: Look for the EMP in the survivor's hands. If they use it, it will disappear.
Xenomorph: It is pretty unlikely that a survivor will carry these very far and allow you to hit them with one.

Using Wesker, I was able to grind all 50 hits in 3 matches. I did have to bully a few survivors the entire match in order to get this done.

Dont use Franklin's Demise

Honestly, if you see a survivor in a lobby is playing on xbox like you (dosen't have the world symbol above their name) then message them before the match starts, asking them if you can hit them while holding a special item and say you'll let them escape/farm.

I managed to get this done between two games as the other person happily accepted (one game I got 65% done as two of the players were playing together). Did it with wesker and some of the other survivors caught on and held first aid sprays. Made it much quicker!

I wasn't aware teleporting to the survivor holding hte box as the Cenobite worked, so I made an insidious build and just camped the box, lol. It took me a long time to get there, but the time I turned around to find Bill staring at me instead of going for the box was absolutely worth the wait

Just like you, I was able to finish this in 3 matches using Wesker. Great tips!

I'd jus like to point out that the achievement icon is of a med pack, which does not qualify as a special item. That is all.

There was a bug with Onryo last patch that was fixed but I bet they did not fix this portion of the bug. Thanks for the info, I will update the solution.

Teleporting to someone solving the box doesn't count

Could be that the tracker is taking longer to respond or there is an issue with this character and the achievement.

Play as Nemesis. Stand by a Vaccine box, punch zombies (not tentacle) to show friendliness. When Victims come to investigate if you are a bot or friendly, punch at the box. They’ll open it, get them to take the vaccine. Punch them until they are down. Stand there, don’t punch anyone else, let the other survivors come and repeatedly heal (and likely tea bag) the survivor. The moment your vaccine holding victim gets up, down them again. Do not attack anyone else, repeat. Fastest method

I used Wesker for this as sprays hold 2 charges. I used Hoarder, Tinkerer, Play thing and lethal. Add ons Helicopter stick.

My solution will all but guarantee you get this achievement IF and ONLY IF you don't care about getting sacrifices and winning.

The killer: Pinhead
The addons: Chatterer's Tooth (Purple, reveals location of box to you and does not cause chain hunts if youre the one to pick it up) and Torture Pillar (Green, makes chain hunts activate 6 seconds sooner)
The perks:
1. Insidious: standing still makes you lose your terror radius until you move.
2. Coup De Grâce : each token, earned by gens being done, extends lunge attack by 80%
3. Save the Best for Last: 40% faster weapon wipe speed at max tokens.
4. Either Brutal Strength: 20% faster pallet breaking or Spirit Fury: breaking 2 pallets causes the next one to stun you to instantly break.
The map: Doesn't matter to be honest, but Midwich was perfect.

The method:
This is going to sound incredibly boring (because honestly it is) but what youre going to do is go to the box, find a hiding spot, stand still and just wait for someone to come get it. Once they do, charge at them and hit them.
The faster activation of chain hunts usually helps to spur survivors into getting the box, and because the imterruption caused by chains during the hunt is so annoying, even if they catch on to what you're doing, 9 times out of 10 they're gonna come get the box. Within less than 5 matches I had 34 of 50 hits. It works beautifully but again, only if you don't care about winning.

Despite Hoarder no longer working on special items as of 7.0.0, I still think Pinhead is a good choice. You still see their location when they start solving it, and you can use add-ons to increase solve time and casting range to consistently interrupt the box, which is a generally effective way to play him. You’ll naturally get it as Wesker, but Pinhead will get it done with better results.

If you’re going to do it as Wesker, try to run the iridescent add-on that starts them off infected, and then only hit them with basic attacks the whole match. They’re likely to hold onto the first aid sprays after being forced to pick them up at the start. If you don’t have any of those add-ons, just work on infecting them each once on your own, and then use only basic attacks going forward. The fewer sprays they’re forced to consume, the better.

Also, use survivors tea bagging at the exit gates to your advantage - they might be holding onto special items when you hit them out.

Singularity is also a good idea since survivors often carry an EMP until they find a use for it.

I never really spend any money on the game so singularity is a good idea I don't remember all the free killers that make survivors pick up items

Wesker and Singularity can work, but it would take a lot of luck to run into a survivor just holding their respective items without using them.

I knew Franklin's got nerfed with 7.0.0, i didn't know Hoarder got nerfed too.

I mean the First Aid Spray has two uses, so even if they use it right away, they will still hold on to it. Also you can choose not to infect them, so they don’t use them at all.

Has anyone had any luck with using the Wesker method? I've hit quite a few survivors that are visibly holding a spray but I'm not getting any progress for the achievement.

Singularity is by far the easiest and fastest way you get this done. One game alone with survivors who realize that you want them to pick up the emp netted me over 35% progress.

Running double-iri Wesker made this really easy. Running both iridescent add-ons, I was able to finish this achievement in three matches playing normally.

Thank you for the guide! I was at 74% before trying your exact build and I got the achievement to pop in two matches. I tried onryo before that and it wasn’t giving any progress. I actually had fun suprise attacking them ✌🏽❤️

Couple of things.

One, Sadako's VHS tapes do not work (as of now; probably the same reason Viral Video is broken right now).

Two, Wesker's First Aid Spray is your best bet. Since you can hit the survivor many times in the same game and have each time count towards this, you would want a Special Item that they are not going to drop easily. As long as you don't infect them, you just need to find someone who has a First Aid Spray in hand, down them, let them up and repeat.
