Dead by Daylight (Switch): all the updates (latest: Ver. 8.4.0 – Doomed Course)

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:

New Survivor Perks:

• Invocation: Treacherous Crows

    • 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.

  • After you finish healing another Survivor, while being healed by another Survivor, press the ability button 1 to gain broken.

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.

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.

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.

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.
