New Killer – The Ghoul

Killer Power ONE – EYED TERROR

SPECIAL ABILITY: Kagune Leap

Use the Power button to charge and launch the Kagune, tentacles that attach to any vertical surface within range and quickly pull The Ghoul forward.

After completing a leap, The Ghoul has a window to perform a second consecutive Kagune Leap or put Kagune Leap into cooldown by using the Active Ability button.

Kagune Leap enters cooldown once The Ghoul has consumed their leaps, if they leap over a vault or downed pallet, or if the Kagune grabs and leaps at a Survivor.

If The Ghoul’s second consecutive leap targets a Survivor, they will perform a grab-attack. Grab-attacks damage Survivors if they are healthy; inflict Deep Wounds; and leave a Kagune Mark.

Performing a grab-attack also triggers Enraged Mode.

 

SPECIAL ABILITY: Enraged Mode

While Enraged, The Ghoul can perform up to three consecutive Kagune Leaps and can leap over vaults more quickly if they launch their Kagune at a Survivor.

Enraged Mode remains active while there are Survivors afflicted with Kagune Mark. Marked Survivors will lose their mark if they are fully mended, or if they are downed.

The Ghoul cannot grab-attack marked Survivors.

Once no marked Survivors remain, a Countdown begins. When the Countdown depletes, Enraged Mode ends. A perfectly timed grab-attack – tapping the attack button when the attack icon is displayed – will add extra time to the Countdown. The Countdown is paused while carrying Survivors.

 

NEW KILLER PERKS

Hex: Nothing But Misery:

• After you damage Survivors 8/8/8 times with basic attacks, a dull totem becomes a hex totem, cursing all Survivors.
• When you damage a Survivor with a basic attack, they gain 5/5/5% Hindered for 10/12.5/15 seconds.
  • The effects last until the hex totem is cleansed.

Forever Entwined:

• When a Survivor takes damage, gain 1 token, up to 6/7/8.
• For each token, you pick up, drop and hook Survivors 4% faster.

None Are Free:

• When you hook a Survivor for the first time, gain 1 token, up to 4.
• When all generators are completed, for each token, all windows and upright pallets are blocked for everyone for 12/14/16 seconds.

New Killer – The Houndmaster

Killer Power – Scent of Blood

The Houndmaster and her dog operate as one. Her commands are followed without question or delay.

Special Ability: Chase

The Chase Command sends the dog out at high speed. Pressing the Power button again redirects the Chase, pivoting the dog’s path. When the dog catches a Survivor, the dog starts a Grab. The Survivor becomes Hindered and is pulled toward The Houndmaster. The Survivor can get free by stunning the dog or can be rescued by another Survivor. Grabs that end without Injury leave the Survivor Hindered. Grab duration is shorter for Survivors with the Endurance status effect.

Special Ability: Search

The Search Command sends the dog to a target location, creating a Search Path. It has its own lullaby and, as it moves, its Houndsense radius rises over distance traveled. Survivors who enter the radius are affected by Houndsense and revealed by Killer Instinct. If The Houndmaster follows the dog’s Search Path, she gains increased movement speed over time. Leaving the Search Path ends the bonus movement speed.

Special Effect: Houndsense

Healthy Survivors affected by Houndsense receive Deep Wounds when Injured. Injured Survivors affected by Houndsense suffer from louder Grunts of Pain and longer Pools of Blood when put into the Dying state.

New Killer Perks:

• All-Shaking Thunder
  • After you fall from a height, your lunge attack distance is increased by 75/75/75% for 8/12/16 seconds.
  • This perk has a 5/5/5-second cooldown.
• Scourge Hook: Jagged Compass
  • At the start of the trial, up to 4 random hooks are changed into scourge hooks. You see their auras in white.
  • When a Survivor is unhooked from a non-scourge hook, it becomes a scourge hook.
  • When you hook a Survivor on a Scourge Hook, the aura of the generator with the most progress is revealed in yellow for 6/8/10 seconds.
• No Quarter
  • When a Survivor reaches 75/75/75% of a self-heal, they are faced with continuous skill checks.
  • If one of these skill checks is missed or the heal is interrupted, the Survivor becomes broken for 20/25/30 seconds.

New Survivor – Taurie Cain

New Survivor Perks:

• Invocation: Treacherous Crows
  • When in the Basement near the circle, press the ability button 2 to begin the Invocation.

  • Once the Invocation is completed:
    • You become injured and broken for the rest of the trial.
    • When a Survivor is in the Terror Radius and the Killer scares a crow, their aura is revealed to all Survivors for 1/1.5/2 seconds.
  • Completing the Invocation disables that perk for all Survivors.
• Clean Break
  • After you finish healing another Survivor, while being healed by another Survivor, press the ability button 1 to gain broken.
  • After 80/70/60 seconds, you become healthy.
  • This perk does not activate if you are already broken. The effect is cancelled if you go in the dying state.

The Good Guy – Addons

• Power Drill
  Hidey-Ho Mode cooldown reduced by 10% after hitting a Survivor with Slice & Dice. (was 15%)
• Automatic Screwdriver
  Missing a Slice & Dice reduces Hidey-Ho Cooldown by 8%. (was 10%)

Dev note: Currently, The Good Guy’s Power incorrectly starts to recharge as soon as the Slice & Dice attack is started rather than after it finishes, making his Power recharge much faster than intended. This will be corrected in the near future. In the meantime, we have toned down these Add-Ons to make sure they don’t get out of hand. They will return to their normal strength once this is resolved.

To select a Spell, hold the Ability Button to open the Spell selection. The Lich has access to 4 different Spells:

• Mage Hand: Creates a magical hand that lifts a downed pallet or blocks an upright pallet for 4 seconds.

SPECIAL ITEM: MAGIC ITEMS

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

• This Perk goes on cooldown for 60 seconds.

New Survivor – Sable Ward

Perks

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.

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.

Maps

• Mount Ormond updates

We made some changes to Mount Ormond. The layout and main building are staying the same. but we decided to address the fact that the front of the Building, representing an entrance, had no gameplay or interesting loop. It was a big pile of rocks and not much else. So we went updated the gameplay to make it more fluid and fitting with the loops and to actually add gameplay. The Art team went through as well to make things look nice.

In the back of the building we had a couple of tiles that were simple loops, but that didn’t have interesting gameplay. We updated this and improved the quality there as well.
