Dead by Daylight: Survivor Achievement Bugged ? (Workarounds)

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: It works, got it day one.

How to fix it

  1. Play a single public trial and aim for 11 aura reveals in that match. The achievement counts only reveals that happen within one game, not across multiple games.
  2. Equip a full aura‑reading loadout. Perks that constantly show the Killer’s aura are essential. Good choices are:
    • Dark Sense – reveals the Killer’s aura every few seconds.
    • Poised (Jane) – adds an aura‑reading effect.
    • Alter (Feng) – provides additional aura information.
    • Inner Focus (Haddie) – contributes to aura detection.
    • The crouching perk on Eleven (when playing as Eleven) – also helps keep the aura visible.
  3. Stay in the match long enough to trigger the reveals. Keep moving and avoid early death so you can accumulate the required 11 sightings.
  4. If the perk combo isn’t giving you enough reveals, swap one of the aura‑reading perks for another that does the same job and try again in the next trial.

If it still doesn't work

  • Verify that all 11 reveals occurred in the same trial; the counter will not add up across separate matches.
  • Try a different combination of aura‑reading perks; sometimes a particular perk may not trigger as expected.
  • Play a few more matches with the same loadout; occasional glitches can cause the counter to lag behind.
  • Keep an eye on the achievement progress bar; if it stays at 3/11 after many attempts, consider reporting the issue on the Steam forums for further developer attention.

What players reported

So I'm having trouble with the stranger sightings achievement. Stranger Sightings. Reveal or see the Killer's aura 11 times in a single trial in a public match. I have played 1 trial where i counted my reveals and it was far above 11, and i have played more than 11 matches where i revealed Killer's arura.. wierdlythe progress bar still says 3/11 ? I dont get it, anyone else ?

NOOT NOOT, original post

What players suggest

It works, got it day one. Remember that it's 11 times in one match, so just equip a full aura reading loadout. Dark sense? was it, that reveals aura every 3 seconds is helpful.

It is really really bugged and not really possible to figure out what makes it broken Personally I got it using Poised (Jane), Alter (Feng), Inner focus (Haddie) and the new crouching perk on Eleven, playing Eleven also. Your best bet is to stack aura reading perks and praying, if it doesn't work after a few games change your perk combo

Did anyone found the reason it don't pop? They really haven't fixed it for half of the year?

FIX YOUR GAME!!! ULTRAWİDE ZOOM

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Unfortunately, non-standard aspect ratios and high resolutions were severely crippled years ago because 16:9/10 users would set their game to resolutions like yours, which gave a higher FOV.
