Info about Dead by Daylight - Nicolas Cage Chapter Pack:

Official game description:
  
Prepare for a tour de force performance. Dead by Daylight’s **Nicolas Cage Chapter Pack** features a new Survivor, legendary actor Nicolas Cage in his deadliest role yet. Purchasing this add-on unlocks an **exclusive Cosmetic: _Teal Jacket_** as well as the **Very Rare _Gorgon Drip_ Outfit** for Nicolas Cage.
NICOLAS CAGE
------------
Countless awards. Over one hundred films. Nicolas Cage had done it all and seen it all...or so he thought. When a mysterious screenplay for “Descend Beyond” landed on his desk, he signed on without hesitation. While filming, Nick performed his dialogue with gravitas, a dark incantation that rolled off his tongue with ease. He dipped his fingers in a cup of red ink and painted symbols on the stone altar. He was so immersed he barely noticed the tendrils of black Fog slowly creeping toward him...  
Nicolas Cage comes with **3 new perks.**
Dramaturgy
----------
When healthy, press the active ability button to activate Dramaturgy while running to gain a brief vaulting speed boost. Immediately afterward, one of 4 random effects will occur: Briefly become Exposed, move slightly faster for a few seconds, let out a scream, or drop your Item to gain a Firecracker. This Perk causes the Exhaustion status effect and cannot be used while Exhausted.
Scene Partner
-------------
When in the Killer’s Terror Radius, look in the Killer’s direction to scream and receive a brief view of their Aura. Be warned, however – there is a slight chance you’ll scream once more.
Plot Twist
----------
When injured, press the active ability button while crouched to willingly enter the Dying State. During this time, you will remain silent and leave no Blood Pools. From there, you can recover on your own to become Broken for a brief duration, and then fully healed.  
EXCLUSIVE CHAPTER SURVIVOR ITEM: THE TEAL JACKET
------------------------------------------------
The Nicolas Cage Chapter Pack includes an **exclusive item: Teal Jacket**. A sophisticated teal smoking jacket, the finest in his wardrobe.  
Please note that this item cannot be purchased separately.  
The Nicolas Cage Chapter Pack also includes a **Very Rare Outfit: Gorgon Drip**. A mythological outfit for a larger-than-life celebrity.  
This is his deadliest role yet.
