About this converter
Dead by Daylight items drain at 1 charge per second unless add-ons change the rate. Maps open the table: Cryptic Map at 4 charges, Dull Key at 5, Broken Key at 6, Skeleton Key at 6 and Annotated Map at 6. Lights follow: Flashlight at 8 seconds of use and Bloodsense Map at 8 charges, then Utility Flashlight at 12 seconds. Toolboxes carry repair time: Worn-Out Tools at 16, Mechanic Toolbox at 16, Engineer Toolbox at 16, Alex Toolbox at 18 and Toolbox at 20. Medkits sit high: Camping Aid Kit at 24. Commodious Toolbox tops at 32, or eight Cryptic Maps of use.
How to use it
Pick two items and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first item, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total charges. Try Commodious at 32 against Cryptic Map at 4. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1.
Rows pin base capacity with no add-ons. Add-ons such as wire spool and gauze roll add charges and sit outside rows. A full heal needs 16 medkit charges, so a 24 charge kit heals once with 8 left. Generator repair needs 90 toolbox charges at base rate, so no single box finishes one alone. Fog vials start at 4 charges and recharge over time, so they stay out of this fixed set. Event kits such as banquet and festive variants stay out.
