WIll this get you banned?!
The devs tweeted out a while ago that the last unlink cosmetic glitch wouldn’t get you banned so i would imagine the same could be said for this one, although make sure to do this glitch soon because the devs patched out the old glitch so they might patch out this one.
If you chose to uncap your FPS you also will not get banned so there is no risk to this glitch
To quote the DBD Devs “Our stance has been only to ban for exploits which provide an in-game advantage, something that mixing cosmetics does not grant.”
Setup
First you have to cap your fps at 20 or 15. To do this right click the windows button in the bottom left and click on run and then type in the %appdata% and when that folder opens up back out of the Roaming folder back into User/AppData and then go into the Local Folder and then locate the DeadByDaylight folder and in there go into Saved and then Config and then WindowsNoEditor.

In that folder open up the GameUserSettings. Once in there find the text that says FrameRateLimit=0.000000 and just add a 2 in front of the zeros. This will cap your fps at 20. If you want to cap your FPS to something lower just change the zero to whatever you're capping it to (e.g 10 = FrameRateLimit=10.000000), This also works for uncapping FPS if you want to raise it to 120 or something.

Step 1
Select the character and cosmetic you want to unlink

Step 2
While you have the linked cosmetic equipped go into the shop

Step 3
Select the piece you want to unlink, e.g - Head/Torso/Leg

Step 4
Turn on 'Show All Items' in the filters tab

Step 5
Using the arrows in the top right switch to another character

Step 6
Quickly select a head ( don't equip ) and then swap back to your original character

Step 7
Once you have switched back quickly select a head and if it unlinks it has worked and you can equip any head/torso/legs. If it doesn't work then just keep doing it, it usually takes a few minutes

Questions n stuff
Have you head of the reverse/mix two cosmetics glitch?
Yes i have but i don't think i will be making a guide for it as they take time and effort to make and since this one hasn't gotten that much traction i don't think that guide would either.

Do you HAVE to cap FPS to 20/15/10?
No you don't have to but it helps out A lot because it slows down the game giving you more time to do the glitch

Does this glitch work on the latest version of DBD?
It is working as of 5.0.0

Does this work on the new PTB?
i haven't tried it so idk, but probably

Is it client sided or does everyone see it?
Everyone will see it.

Does this work for killers too?
Yes it does.
See?

Does this work for PHead?
Yes it does, Credit where credit is due : https://steamproxy.net/profiles/76561199013277807

Does this work with mixing two cosmetics? F.e. mixing Cherly's Lisa & Cybil outfits?
No, that's a completely different glitch but it you want me to make a guide about that then make sure to tell me in the comments

Does this let you add things from the store that you have not unlocked? or put one head on another characters body?
No, this does not let you equip things you have not bought or put someone elses head on another character.

I can only do 1 cosmetic like torso or legs how can i do both?
Just do it for both of the parts you want unlinked.

Again, if this doesn't work try lowering your FPS and try again.
If you still can't get it to work.
Here is a video version of the glitch in action, I made this video even though the youtube channel is under another name

Fake/Doesn't work!
If you're struggling with the glitch, try to cap your FPS a bit lower, maybe 10 or even 5. The trick is to just keep trying because it will take a while, it usually take me just a few minutes as i've done it a few time but it might take some time for people who don't usually do it.
Begging Time!
If this guide does help you out and you do manage to unlink your cosmetics you could like it and favourite it if you wanted or whatever idc. If you have any questions i will answer them in the question section.

Wanna mix two linked cosmetic sets?

Damn shame it's patched, would love to mish-mash Cheryl's cosmetics

oh well we will have to wait until the next update to break the store again
Lews  [author] 23 Jun, 2021 @ 5:35am 
The devs have put out a patch that's fixes this glitch making it so that you can still glitch them in store but whenever you enter a lobby or any other menu it will reset to the default cosmetics. To clarify, you can no longer use this glitch.

wouldnt brother trying to break nea they added some checking system for her, if one of the linked outfits is missing she get defaulted, i have no clue how to bypass this but 5-10FPS trick does work still

Okay, I've gotten it to the point where I can keep the mismatched cosmetics while in menus and stuff, but like the author said once you load into a match it resets it. Not really sure where else to go from here :(
faephoric.ttv 22 Jun, 2021 @ 3:09pm 
Maybe closing the game as soon as the glitch is activated? Try to bypass the store exit defaulting mechanic?
Lews  [author] 22 Jun, 2021 @ 3:02pm 
yeah as soon as you go into a lobby it resets it, i'd imagine going into the store would do the same. Haven't tried out the glitch with the new patch yet to see if it works.

Doesn't work on any characters for me anymore :/ leaving the store resets it
