Luke is the last resort for the “peaceful” player in Dead by Daylight. Unless the killer finds and closes the escape route. So it is worth both sides to know when and where the hatches will spawn.
When does the hatch appear?
All players know that hatches appear when there is only one survivor left – the game itself helpfully notifies about this. But in reality, this is not entirely true. Hatches spawn earlier on the map, they just appear closed (so they are harder to find).
The game does not show in any way that the hatches have spawned, but the code has a rule: they appear when there are 1 more “peaceful” survivors than the included generators. That is, if there are only two survivors left, the hatches will spawn when three generators are launched. If all four are alive, the hatch will appear when the gate is powered.
Thus, in an emergency, survivors can use the hatch rather than the gate – you just need to find it early. The maniac should also bear this in mind to block the exit in advance.
Where does the hatch appear?
The location of the hatches is generated conditionally randomly. Moreover, each map has places where hatches are more likely to appear. In other words, despite the fact that the location of the emergency exit is random, the game most often chooses from a predefined set of locations (if not bugging, of course). It is from these places that you should start your search.
For example, if there is a Maniac’s Hut on the map, there are two possible spawn locations:
- in the hut itself next to the pallet;
- outside next to a wall without windows.
Another universal place for searches is the main building on the map. Each such building has points at which a hatch can appear. It will also be nice to run on them.
The hatch will never spawn on floors higher than the first – this rule applies to any map.
How to open the hatch?
You can open the hatch with a whole key. For these purposes, a Dull Key or Skeleton Key is suitable.
How can you tell if a hatch is near?
When the hatch is open, it makes a rather loud and specific sound, similar to the howling of the wind. This sound is heard from afar, so you can navigate by it while searching. For this reason, it is best to play with headphones – it will make it easier for you to determine where to go.
In addition, the sound will help and determine that in this session the hatch did not appear at one of the usual points, saving you time. Perhaps this will also save your character’s life.

Hatches on Backwater Swamp

Hatches on Coldwind Farm

Hatches on the map Meat Processing Plant “Gideon» ( of The Gideon Meat Plant )
The Game – unfortunately, here randomness is not on the player’s side. If you do not find a hatch at the bottom of the stairs (in the most likely place of the spawn), then you will not have time to find it in a random place.
Hatches on The Grave of Glenvale
The Dead Dawg Saloon is another place where spawning is pretty random. Look for the hatch:
- around the edges of the map;
- near generators;
- in the center of the saloon.
Hatches on the map National Laboratory Hawkins ( of The Hawkins National Library then )
The Underground Complex – Following the rule we described above, look for the hatch at the lowest level of the complex. Stick to generators and map edges.

Suffocation Pit – located behind a large house, next to the gangway. From here you can see the hill next to the farm.
Coal Tower ( Coal A Tower ) – there are two options, which may be the door:
- near the tower itself (this is a two-story building, you will not pass by);
- in the tower (go towards the house with wheels, the exit will be next to it).
Ironworks of Misery – Enter the destroyed factory building and look for a hatch on the first tier, between two pipes.
In addition, a hatch can appear at one of three points on the edge of the map . In this case, the location will be random. While searching, stick to the edge of the map and be sure to stumble upon an exit. Also, the hatch can be found next to the gate (on the right side of the switch).
Hatches on The Ormond
Resort “Ormond Hill» ( Mount Ormond Resort ) – on this map hatches mainly spawn near the generators.
Hatches on the map Elementary School Midvicha ( Midwich the Elementary School)
On this map, the hatch is really hard to find, because the spawn is absolutely random. Moreover, the hatch can be under the pieces of flesh. Be careful!

- on the porch of a house with a high fence, which is located at the edge of the map.

The police station of Raccoon City ( Raccoon City) – this is a new map, so it is not well known community. If the hatch was found, it was closer to the center of the building on the first floor.
Have you found hatches elsewhere? Maybe you have your own methods of finding an alternative exit from the level? Feel free to share them with us in the comments!
