Overview of the Xenomorph Queen Skin {#overview-of-the-xenomorph-queen-skin}
The Xenomorph Queen skin is a Legendary cosmetic option for The Xenomorph Killer in Dead by Daylight, introduced as part of the Alien Chapter. This skin represents the iconic mother of the Xenomorph species, known for her imposing size in the Alien franchise, where she is depicted as nearly five meters tall. The design of this skin draws directly from its cinematic origins, bringing a recognizable and formidable presence to the game.
Acquiring the Xenomorph Queen Skin {#acquiring-the-xenomorph-queen-skin}
Players interested in obtaining the Xenomorph Queen skin have two primary methods for purchase. It can be bought individually for 1,485 Auric Cells. Alternatively, the skin is also available as part of the Alien Collection bundle, which includes other Xenomorph cosmetics. Auric Cells are Dead by Daylight’s premium in-game currency, typically acquired through real-money purchases.
In-Game Appearance and Size {#in-game-appearance-and-size}
Upon selection in the lobby, the Xenomorph Queen skin presents a significantly larger appearance compared to the default Xenomorph, largely due to its unique stance. However, it is important to note that despite this visual difference in the lobby, the actual in-game model size of the Xenomorph Queen is the same as the regular Xenomorph. While the body maintains the same dimensions during a match, the Queen skin does feature a larger headpiece, contributing to its distinct look. Players have observed that while running on two legs in-game, the Queen can sometimes appear massive, but this is an optical effect rather than an actual change in hit-box or model scale.
Other Xenomorph Skins in Dead by Daylight {#xenomorph-skins-in-dead-by-daylight}
Beyond the Legendary Xenomorph Queen, The Xenomorph has two other notable skins available in Dead by Daylight, each with its own origins from the Alien franchise:
-
Xenomorph Clone (Very Rare): This skin is inspired by the Cloned Xenomorph, a creature resulting from the mixed DNA of Ellen 8 and the Queen Xenomorph. In its source material, the Cloned Xenomorph stands approximately two meters tall and features a brownish-green coloration. It can be purchased for 1,080 Auric Cells or as part of the Alien Collection bundle.
-
Grid Xenomorph (Rare): The Grid Xenomorph skin is based on a Drone Xenomorph named Grid, which emerged on Bouvet Island in 2004. Its name derives from the distinctive net-like wounds visible on its head and back. This Xenomorph is described as being around two and a half meters tall. The Grid Xenomorph skin is available for 675 Auric Cells or through the Alien Collection Bundle.
All these skins provide unique visual variations for The Xenomorph Killer, allowing players to customize their appearance based on different iterations of the creature from the Alien universe.
