About

Overview

Doom by Fate is an asymmetric horror game for up to nine players: one killer hunts a group of survivors, each side using a unique set of abilities. This guide covers how to get started, how each role plays, how to earn Tix, and how to unlock achievements — everything you need to stop getting caught and start winning rounds.

First steps when you load in

Step

In short Bacon is free, forgiving, and hands you two achievements in your first match.

Every new player starts with Bacon at no cost. His kit — Flashlight, Pizza, and Tracker — keeps you useful without needing to learn any complex combos. Two achievements drop in your first session almost automatically, so there is no reason to skip them.

Join a public server the achievement Doomed By Fate is granted the instant you enter one for the first time, with nothing else required.
Press E to eat a slice of pizza as Bacon this heals you and instantly unlocks the Eat Pizza as Bacon achievement.
Try Flashlight in short bursts after turning a corner, so the killer is blinded the moment they follow you around it rather than having time to walk through the beam.
Use Tracker to call out the killer's position to your team the sound it makes rises in pitch the closer you are to the killer.
Win your first round as either a survivor or killer to unlock the Win 1 Round achievement, which comes naturally within your first few matches.

Survivor role breakdown

Table

In short Pick a survivor whose role matches what your team is missing — Jane Doe is the only source of healing in the game.

Each survivor has a distinct role. Knowing what your team already has before you pick prevents overlap and covers gaps, especially the healing slot.

Bacon	free recon support who blinds, heals himself with Pizza, and pings the killer's location with Tracker
Jane Doe (500 Tix)	the only healer in the game; uses Syringe to slow the killer and Set Health or Patch Up to restore HP
Rhyt (500 Tix)	uses Boombox to slow the killer through walls and Rhythmical for a rhythm-based self-heal and speed buff
Martyr (700 Tix)	survivalist who banks Sacrificial Blood by landing her dagger on the killer, then spends it on healing or speed; cannot be healed by Jane Doe

Killer role breakdown

Table

In short Every killer rewards focusing on one survivor at a time rather than splitting attention across the group.

Killers vary widely in price, health, and how they find and pressure survivors.

The Priest (1500 Tix, 1100 HP)	combo-focused crowd controller with AoE abilities; ignores banana peels; chain Snap into Crucifixion into Pray for maximum pressure
John Doe (2500 Tix, 2000 HP)	the highest-health killer in the game; uses Corroded Wave to locate and ragdoll survivors, Corrupted Force to close distance fast
1x1x1x1 (3000 Tix, 1500 HP)	every one of his moves can be blocked or dodged if timed correctly; use Reality Defect to freeze a survivor before chaining your other abilities
Jeff The Killer	reworked in Update 0.1.8; crouching lunge now has a 15-second cooldown and the infinite lunge technique no longer works

Tips for survivors who keep getting caught

Tips

In short Most early deaths come from poor cooldown tracking and healing at the wrong moment.

These habits separate survivors who make it to Last Man Standing from those who go down in the first minute.

Tips worth knowing

Do not try to heal a teammate who is actively being chased with Jane Doe's Set Health — the long wind-up and short range mean it will almost always get cancelled.
Use Patch Up in cover, not in the open — most killers will immediately switch targets to interrupt a visible self-heal animation.
Keep at least one unit of Sacrificial Blood banked as Martyr at all times, so you always have access to a heal, a speed boost, or a stun.
Avoid playing Rhyt on high ping — Rhythmical's notes are processed server-side, so lag causes real delay and missed notes leave you slowed instead of healed.
Against John Doe, stay above 5 HP — his M1 will bring you to exactly 5 HP instead of killing you outright, giving you a chance to survive or tank a hit for a teammate.
Martyr's Damning Guilt passive blocks all healing from other survivors, so Jane Doe's abilities are completely wasted on her — Jane should not attempt it.

Tips for killers who cannot land kills

Tips

In short Lock onto one target and use your abilities to close distance or cut off escapes rather than switching between survivors.

Chasing multiple survivors splits your stamina and lets everyone recover. Pick the weakest or most isolated survivor and commit.

Tips worth knowing

As The Priest, use Crucifixion to toss away Soldiers or Brawlers trying to stun you, then immediately re-engage your primary target.
Prioritize Jesters and Jane Does as The Priest — your large hitbox makes it easy for them to land their slowing abilities on you.
As 1x1x1x1, open with Reality Defect to stop the survivor in place, then follow up with your other abilities while they cannot run.
As Jeff The Killer, the Stalk Gauge now saves its value whenever Murderous Intent is inactive, so you do not have to rush to spend it before it resets.

Earning Tix through achievements and codes

Step

In short The single biggest achievement reward is Deal Damage 1000, which pays out 3000 Tix and accumulates across all matches.

Tix is the only currency used to unlock characters and skins. Achievements and redeem codes are the two main ways to earn it outside of normal play. Redeeming codes requires going into the in-game settings screen and entering the code there; some codes also require you to be a member of the official Doom by Fate group before they will work.

Check the settings screen open it in-game, find the code entry field, and submit a code there; each code can only be redeemed once.
Join the official group a portion of codes require group membership, so joining before you redeem saves a wasted trip back to the settings.
Chase Deal Damage 1000 dealing a cumulative 1000 damage across any number of matches rewards 3000 Tix, the highest single achievement payout.
Win rounds in any role the Win 1 Round, Win 10 Rounds, and Win 50 Rounds achievements all count wins on either side, survivor or killer.
Unlock Elliot Revenge as C000lkidd, kill a player wearing the Elliot skin on Bacon five times to receive the Elliot (C000lkidd) skin.
Complete Medal Quest link your Roblox account and upload a clip to Medal.tv to earn the Medal Skinpack.

Glossary

Tix: The in-game currency used to buy characters and skins.
Last Man Standing (LMS): The phase that starts when only one survivor remains, turning the match into a one-on-one against the killer.
Sacrificial Blood: A resource Martyr earns by landing her Redemption dagger strike on a killer; spent on healing, speed, or a stun.
Stalk Gauge: A gauge Jeff The Killer builds up; as of Update 0.1.9.1, its current value is preserved whenever Murderous Intent is not active.
Glitched: A level that rises by one each time 1x1x1x1 lands an M1 hit with Slash and Stab.
Murderous Intent: Jeff The Killer's stealth mode; his walkspeed increases while it is active, and his breathing is now audible to nearby survivors.
Damning Guilt: Martyr's passive ability that prevents her from receiving any healing from other survivors.

Common questions

FAQ

How do I use Bacon's Flashlight without getting hit?

Fire it in short bursts instead of holding it continuously — a sustained beam gives the killer time to walk straight through it and attack you. The most reliable spot to use it is right after turning a corner, so the killer is blinded the instant they round it. Flashlight charges depend on completed generators, so ration your uses in the back half of a round when generators run low.

Can Martyr be healed by Jane Doe?

No. Martyr's Damning Guilt passive completely blocks healing from other survivors, so Jane Doe's Set Health does nothing and wastes the ability. Martyr must rely entirely on her own kit to recover HP.

Is Captain Rampage available to play right now?

Yes. He was removed in Update 0.1.9 pending a full rework, but was re-added in Update 0.1.9.1. Anything purchased for or with him before the removal was kept in players' inventories throughout.

What is the best way to chain abilities as The Priest?

Use Snap to locate and slow survivors, then chain into Crucifixion to pin them, followed by Pray for AoE damage. Weaving M1 hits between each ability extends the combo further. Pray must be used directly on top of the survivor to connect, so do not launch it from range.

Do redeem codes expire?

Yes — codes that have passed their active window cannot be redeemed even if entered correctly. Enter codes as soon as you find them rather than saving them for later.
