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”).

• 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.

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.

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.
