How to unlock the Tools of the Trade achievement in Dead by Daylight - Definitive Guide

This used to be an adept achievement for Stranger Things's Demogorgon. Update happened around 11 2021.

The universal perks needed for this are any of the killer's non-teachable. You must have 3 equipped. These perks include:
Bitter Murmer, Claustrophobia, Deerstalker, Distressing, Fearmonger, Hex:NOED, Hex:TotHJ, Insidious, Iron Grasp, Jolt, Monstrous Shrine, Sloppy Butcher, Spies from the Shadows, Unrelenting, Whispers

Then you must complete a match with a Merciless score. This means that:
-no one escapes (current game version allows hatch escape NOT to affect merciless)
-at least 8 hooks(ok if someone disconnects as long as they were hooked at least once)
-scoring is high enough; lower ranks will be easier to meet merciless requirements

-currently merciless only requires all 4 survivors are killed or sacrificed

just a note for Merciless, I've recently gotten it when one person found the hatch and escaped

No recommendation on perks to use? Lol

A recommendation on perks would really depend on your skill level, what killers you are playing as, what updated version currently has buffed/nerfed perks. Consider the other solution for this still talks about Demo....

As with several achievements in dbd, this is bugged. You may notice that you only receive progress towards it sometimes, it seems to be around 50% chance (even if all conditions are met).

Just got this last night with Sloppy Butcher, NOED, and Jolt. The progress tracker seemed to be glitched though, as it popped after my seventh Merciless victory after being stuck at 20%.

This is going to be difficult no matter how you approach it, but I found NOED was the key. You aren't going to earn many wins with just these perks, especially against experienced survivors, but NOED will save your ass if you manage to get three kills and find the hatch.

The Merciless aspect of this solution is outdated. You just need 4 kills to get a merciless now.

Wesker with iri Lab Photo (everyone starts infected + becomes exposed at full infection) and Video Conference Device (30% faster passive infection) for the addons + No One Escapes Death/Spies from the Shadows/Sloppy Butcher worked wonders for me. Wesker in insanely strong to the point where you don't need perks on him to begin with, so this should be a breeze. Send the survivors to Midwich and go nuts.

I managed to complete this achievement 5 in a row with The shape (myers). The key here is the add ons used. Ideally you want infinite tombstone ( Judith's tombstone + fragrant tuft of hair) however I ran out of these add ons half way through and used tombstone piece + J.Myers Memorial.

Partnered these perks with Jolt, sloppy butcher and hex: None Escapes death. I saw these perks as a fail safe for things not going well.

The strategy for me was to get as much stalk + pressure people off the gens as you can. Be strategic in who you mori / kill, I found killing people with tombstone most effective when you have taken all the stalk you can with them (in the case that you use the second add ons that I mentioned).

As merciless killer doesn't always happen from just a 4k and the longer is is between the first gen popping, don't be afraid to m1 people before tier 3. You have sloppy to add pressure.

Good luck!

Again, don’t forget that you also need to collect two drops per game. Some tips:
Place portals wisely; you cannot remove them yourself, and their number is limited. Near the generator, out of sight, would be ideal;
Use his dash more often by pressing when clamped . With this attack you can effectively farm points; for one such attack you get 300+800 points;
×enable survival detection on your , in a small radius from the portals you will see their heartbeat. IMPORTANT - many people do not know that only activated portals highlight survivals. To activate, you need to move once through the desired teleport and it works to its full potential.
And you can also see the heartbeat of even those who like to sit in closets.
