Info about Dead by Daylight - Leatherface™:

Official game description:
  
Leatherface™ is a Character DLC for Dead by Daylight.  
This is slaughter in its purest form. A kind of slaughter driven by a pure need of flesh. Leatherface won’t fail and he won’t stop. As the chainsaw starts, you know what is coming. Pain and fear in a combination of panic as you understand that death isn’t the end. You will also end up on someone’s plate.  
_**As the saw starts...**_  
What happens when the body grows but the mind can’t keep up? A child’s fears and anxiety, but trapped inside a fully grown man’s body. A furious body wielding a chainsaw? Someone who knows what happens as you disobey your family. What happens if anyone finds out what’s in the stew.  
Leatherface is not only the skin clad maniac with a disturbed mind. He seeks acceptance and appreciation. He’s learned the hard way and was molded to what he now is. A watchdog, a guardian, a blind gate keeper who never questions. And all problems can be solved with his chainsaw.
Killer Power - Leatherface: Bubba’s Chainsaw
--------------------------------------------
An incredibly powerful and heavy Chainsaw which sank its teeth in countless victims. A suiting birthday gift to The Cannibal. The Chainsaw is Leatherface's most deadly weapon. He can use it at will, doing devastating sweeping attacks with it.  
**Leatherface comes with 3 new Perks:**
Knock Out
---------
The trauma caused by your brutal attacks makes crying for help painfully difficult. Dying survivors' auras are not revealed to other survivors when they are standing out of range.
Barbecue & Chili

A deep bond with The Entity unlocks potential in one's aura reading ability. After hooking a Survivor, all other Survivors' aura are revealed to you for 3 seconds when they are further than 36 meters from the hook. Grants bonus Bloodpoints on any scoring event while a Survivor is on the hook.
