Dead by Daylight Patch Notes 7.6.0 – March 12, 2024

New Killer – The Unknown

Killer Power

• Press the Power button to charge UVX. Once ready, press the Attack button to launch UVX, a bouncing Projectile which creates a Blast Area upon impact. Survivors become Hindered if touched by UVX while airborne. Survivors touching the Blast Area become Weakened. Weakened Survivors lose health states if touched by Blast Area. Survivors lose Weakened by successfully Staring Down The Unknown.

Special Ability: Hallucinations

• The Unknown will intermittently creates up to 4 Hallucinations. Hallucinations cannot be created while charging UVX, performing interactions, or in proximity to map objects like Hooks. Whenever Survivors are touched by Blast Area or otherwise become Weakened, the next Hallucination’s spawn time decreases by 10 seconds.

Special Ability: Teleport

• The Unknown can teleport to Hallucinations, leaving behind a temporary Decoy. Survivors can remove Hallucinations from the Trial with the Dispel ability. Weakened Survivors take longer to Dispel. If Dispel is not completed, Survivors become Weakened and trigger Killer Instinct.

Perks

• Unbound
  • This perk activates for 24/27/30 seconds after a Survivor becomes injured by any means.
  • After vaulting a window, you gain 5% Haste for 10 seconds. This effect cannot stack with itself.
• Unforeseen
  • When you perform the Break action on a Generator, your Terror Radius transfers to the Generator for 22/26/30 seconds and its radius is set to 32/32/32 meters.
  • You gain Undetectable for that duration.
  • Then, this Perk goes on cooldown for 30/30/30 seconds.
• Undone
  • When a Survivor misses a healing or repair Skill Check, gain 3 Tokens, up to a maximum of 18/24/30 Tokens.
  • When you perform the Break action on a Generator, if you have any Tokens, consume all of them. For each Token consumed, the Generator loses 1% total progress and then becomes blocked for 1 second.
  • Then, once the Generator is unblocked, it starts regressing.
  • This Perk goes on cooldown for 60 seconds.

New Survivor – Sable Ward

Perks

• Invocation: Weaving Spiders
  • When in the Basement near the circle, press the ability button 1 to begin the Invocation.
  • Invocations take 120 seconds. Other Survivors will see your aura during this and can join an ongoing interaction, increasing speed by 50% each. If they have an Invocation Perk equipped, they increase it by 100% instead.
  • Once the Invocation is completed:
  • You become injured and Broken for the rest of the Trial.
  • Reduce the max required Generator progress of all remaining Generators by 8/9/10 charges (same effect as “Brand New Part”).
  • Completing the Invocation disables that Perk for all Survivors.
• Strength in Shadows
  • When in the basement, this Perk activates.
  • Unlocks the Strength in Shadows ability, which allows you to heal without a med-kit at 70/70/70% normal healing speed.
  • When you finish a heal in the basement, you see the Killer’s aura for 6/8/10 seconds.
• Wicked
  • Your self-unhook attempts in the basement always succeed.
  • When you are unhooked or unhook yourself, you see the Killer’s aura for 16/18/20 seconds.

New Map – Greenville Square

• A new section of the Withered Isle has opened up to the players. The Greenville Square is a very different environment from what was previously seen from that Realm. It features a brand new set of tiles, including a new main building, The Theater. Make sure to explore all its layers! Look out for the Statue where two familiar friends would meet up and leave their mark. What does it mean and where will it bring us next? No one ever came back to tell us.

Mangled Update

• Mangled up until now has required Survivors to heal in order to remove the effect, while also slowing down healing speeds. To create more meaningful player choice, we’ll be adding a timer to every source of Mangled in the game, allowing players to choose to heal through it, or wait it out.

Dead by Daylight Patch Notes 7.5.0

Features

Field of View Settings

There is a new settings option in DbD! Players now have the ability to adjust their FOV, or field-of-view, with a slider in the Settings Menu. This allows players with a first-person-camera (Killers, with the exception of The Good Guy) to adjust their field-of-view, reducing motion-sickness and other accessibility issues. This feature is initially in the Beta Tab while we allow for thorough testing.

FOV Perk Updates

• Shadowborn
  • When blinded by any means, gain a 6/8/10% Haste Status Effect for 10 seconds (new functionality)
• Monitor and Abuse
  • While in a chase, your Terror Radius is increased by 8 meters. Otherwise, your Terror Radius is decreased by 8 meters (FoV clause was removed)

Generators System Update

The 3-gen strategy (identifying the closest 3 Generators and defending only them) has become very strong, especially on certain Killers. This can lead to very long games and frustration. To help prevent such situations, the following now applies:

• Each generator can only suffer 8 regression events maximum
• After the max has been reached on a Generator, that Generator can no longer be regressed by the Killer (including kicks, Add-ons, and Perk-related regressions).
  • Number of regressions per Generator is indicated by increasing VFX after 3 or more regression events.
  • Gens at max regression events cannot regress by the Killer (including kicks, Add-ons, and Perk-related regressions).
• Survivors failing Skill Checks still regress Generators normally and do not count as regression events.
• Killer kick regression is increased from 2.5% to 5%.
• “Gen tapping” is no longer possible. To stop a Generator from regressing, a Survivor must repair 5% of the Generator.
  • Regression does not occur while repairs are in progress.

Perks Affected

• Hex: Ruin
  • All Generators are affected by Hex: Ruin. While a Generator is not being repaired by a Survivor, it will immediately and automatically regress repair progress at 50%/75%/100% of the normal regression speed. (no longer deactivates when a Survivor is killed).
• Surge and Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance
  • Does not create a loud noise notification if no progress is lost on the Generator.
• Oppression
  • Only causes a regression event on the generator that was kicked
• Overcharge
  • Only the initiating kick counts as a regression event

Content

• Re-enabled the Nowhere to Hide Perk.
• Re-enabled The Knight Killer.

New Survivor – Alan Wake

Dead by Daylight welcomes a new famous survivor into the fog – Alan Wake!

Perks

• Champion of Light
  • While you are holding a Flashlight, this Perk activates. When you are shining a flashlight, you have 50% Haste. When you successfully blind the Killer, they also gain 20% Hindered for 6 seconds. This effect cannot stack with itself. Then, this Perk goes on cool-down for 80/70/60 seconds.
• Boon: Illumination
  • Press and hold the Ability button 1 near a Dull or Hex Totem to bless it and create a Boon Totem. Soft chimes ring out in a 24 meter range. Survivors inside your Boon Totem’s range see the aura of all Chests and all Generators in blue. If you have a lit Boon Totem, you cleanse or bless Totems 6/8/10% faster. You can only bless one Totem at a time. All equipped Boon Perks are active on your Boon Totem.
• Deadline
  • This Perk activates when you are injured. Skill Checks appear 6/8/10% more frequently when repairing or healing and appear in random places. The penalty for missing Skill Checks is reduced by 50%.

Killer Update – The Hillbilly

Killer Power

Press and hold the Power button to break into a Chainsaw Sprint. Survivors hit during a Chainsaw Sprint are put into the dying state. Revving the Chainsaw, and sprinting with the Chainsaw each cause the Overdrive meter to increase. The meter decreases when the Chainsaw is not in use. When the meter is full, the Chainsaw goes into Overdrive.

Base changes

• Increased Chainsaw Sprint movement speed to 10.12 m/s (was 9.2 m/s).
• Decreased the Chainsaw hit cooldown to 2.7 seconds (was 3 seconds).
• Decreased the Chainsaw miss cooldown to 2.5 seconds (was 3 seconds).
• Increased movement speed during the Chainsaw miss cooldown to 2.3 m/s (was 1.38 m/s).
• Decreased the size of the Chainsaw’s collision to improve navigation during a Chainsaw Sprint.
• Disconnected the Chainsaw’s sensitivity from controller sensitivity.
  • Baseline sensitivity was set to 100% of the controller sensitivity.

Special State: Overdrive

While in Overdrive, the Chainsaw is enhanced. Chainsaw Charge and Sprint speeds are increased, and Chainsaw Sprint cooldowns are reduced. Overdrive lasts for 20 seconds.

New Killer – The Xenomorph

Dev Note: Note that map-specific hooks will be overridden with the Xenomorph’s hook when you play as or against The Xenomorph.

Killer Power: Hidden Pursuit

• A series of tunnels become available on the map when the Xenomorph is in play. By accessing a Control Station, it can enter these tunnels to quickly move around the map, detect the presence of nearby Survivors, and speed up the cooldown time of its Crawler Mode ability. Exiting a Control Station tags nearby Survivors with Killer Instinct.

Special Ability: Crawler Mode

• The Xenomorph enters Crawler Mode automatically when not on cooldown. In Crawler Mode, the Xenomorph walks on four legs and becomes stealthier, reducing its Terror Radius. While in Crawler Mode the Xenomorph also has access to a brutal Tail Attack.

Map Feature: Control Stations

• Seven Control Stations are scattered across the map. Survivors can interact with these stations to get a Remote Flame Turret, while the Xenomorph can enter and exit the tunnels underneath the Control Stations.

Special Item: Remote Flame Turret

• Turrets can be placed in the map to counteract the Xenomorph. When the Xenomorph enters the radius and line of sight of a Turret, the Turret attacks; this attack staggers the Xenomorph and will cause Crawler Mode to end. If a Turret successfully knocks the Xenomorph out of Crawler Mode or fires for too long, it overheats, and must be repaired by a Survivor. The Xenomorph can attack Turrets to destroy them.

Perks

• Ultimate Weapon
  • When you open a locker, this perk activates for 30 seconds. Survivors entering your Terror Radius scream and reveal their position and gain Blindness for 30 seconds. This perk then goes on cooldown for 40/35/30 seconds.
• Rapid Brutality
  • You can no longer gain Bloodlust. Hitting a Survivor with a basic attack gives you 5% haste for 8/9/10 seconds.

• Chemical Trap
  • After completing 70%/60%/50% progress on any generator, this perk activates. While standing next to a dropped pallet, press the Active Ability Button 2 to install a Trap, which stays active for 100/110/120 seconds. The aura of trapped pallets are revealed in yellow to all Survivors. When the Killer performs the break action on the trapped pallet, the trap explodes, and they are slowed by 50% for 4 seconds.
• Light Footed
  • When you are healthy, this perk activates. Your running footsteps are silent. This perk goes on cool-down for 28/24/20 seconds after doing a rushed action.

New Map – Nostromo Wreckage

• Explore the mysterious crash site of the iconic Nostromo. Visit landmarks familiar to the fans of the Alien franchise, in a unique setting where you will find yourself chased in and out of the ship. Run the Killer around the shuttle that brought Ripley to the world of the Entity. Navigate through the alien landscape, and you may yet escape from the remains of the wrecks.

• Turrets can be placed in the map to counteract the Xenomorph. When the Xenomorph enters the radius and line of sight of a Turret, the Turret attacks; this attack staggers the Xenomorph and will cause Runner Mode to end. If a Turret successfully knocks the Xenomorph out of Runner Mode or fires for too long, it overheats, and must be repaired by a Survivor. The Xenomorph can attack Turrets to destroy them.

The Xenomorph Perks

• Ultimate Weapon
  • When you open a locker, this perk activates for 30 seconds. Survivors entering your Terror Radius scream and reveal their position and gain Blindness for 30 seconds. This perk then goes on cooldown for 40/35/30 seconds.
• Rapid Brutality
  • You can no longer gain Bloodlust. Hitting a Survivor with a basic attack gives you 5% haste for 8/9/10 seconds.
• Alien Instinct
  • This perk activates when you hook a Survivor. You see the aura of the farthest injured Survivor for 5 seconds and that Survivor is oblivious for 16/18/20 seconds.
