Bugfixes

• Survivors are no longer able to pass through Locker collisions in certain cases.
  
• Add missing animation for Survivor placing "Blast Mine" or "Wiretap" traps on a Generator, preventing Survivors from becoming invisible and unhittable in certain cases.

Note: With this bugfix, we are reenabling Flashlights, along with three Perks: Dramaturgy, Appraisal and Residual Manifest.

Progress & save data information has been copied from the Live game to our PTB servers on Sep 11. Please note that players will be able to progress for the duration of the PTB, but none of that progress will make it back to the Live version of the game.

Furtive Chase

• You become obsessed with one Survivor. You lurk in the shadows, eliminating your victims one by one. When your Obsession is hooked, Furtive Chase receives a token, up to a maximum of 2/3/4 tokens.
  
• Each token decreases your Terror Radius by 5 meters while in a chase (was 4 meters).

Background Player

• When the Killer picks-up another Survivor, Background Player activates for 10 seconds. When you start running, break into a sprint at 150% of your normal Running Movement speed for 5 seconds (was 4 seconds).
  
• This perk cannot be used while suffering from Exhaustion. This perk causes exhaustion for 60/50/40 seconds.

Eyes in the Sky
The Skull Merchant begins the match with six Drones. Press the Power button to deploy a Drone, which conducts an invisible, continuous sweeping scan. If a Survivor is detected, the Drone becomes active, which makes the Drone’s scan lines visible. Once detected by a scan line, a Survivor gains scan immunity and cannot be detected by other scan lines for 3 seconds. Survivors can attempt to hack Drones. Failure activates the Drone and partially fills their Lock On meter; Success disables the Drone for 45 seconds.

• Removed the Active Zone (cylinder).
  
• Removed remote Activation of Drones.
  
• The Killer now starts with 6 drones.
  
• The minimum distance between drones is now 16 meters.
  
• The Drone radius is now 8 meters.

Radar
Press the Ability Button to open a Radar to see the locations of Survivors detected by Drones or those with Claw Traps. Drones can be recalled with the Radar. Each Survivor detected on the Radar increases The Skull Merchant’s movement speed.

Lock On
The Lock On meter fills when scanned by a Drone and when failing to disable a Drone. When the meter is full, the Survivor receives a Claw Trap, becomes Injured, and suffers from the Broken status effect. Additional scans briefly apply the Hindered status effect. A Claw Trap broadcasts the Survivor’s location to the Killer and is only removed when its battery dies.

• Removed the Exposed status effect from Lock On.

Other

• Daily rituals, Achievements, Loading Tips, and Score Events have been updated accordingly.

• When setting a Bear-Trap, The Trapper gets a Haste effect of 7.5% for 5 seconds (new effect).
  
  • The Coffee Grounds Addon has been updated to indicate it is an additional Haste effect.
• When the Trial begins, 8 Bear-Traps spawn on the map (was 6).

Huntress

• Reloading hatchets takes 3 seconds (was 4 seconds).

Deathslinger

• Reloading takes 2.6 seconds (was 2.75 seconds)
  
• Addon: Warden's Keys - Decreases the Speargun's reload time by 0.35 seconds (was 0.5 seconds)
  
• Addon: Jaw Smasher - Increases movement speed by 1.5% while aiming down the Speargun's sights (was 1%).
  
• Addon: Wanted Poster - Increases movement speed by 3% while aiming down the Speargun's sights (was 2.5%).

Legion

• Addon: BFFs - Earn tokens for hitting Survivors during Feral Frenzy:
  
  • Second chained hit: 2 token
    
  • Third chained hit: 3 tokens
    
  • Fourth chained hit: 4 tokens
    
  • Fifth chained hit: 5 tokens
    
  • Once the gates are powered, if more than 15 or more tokens have been collected, gain a 6% movement speed boost when not using Feral Frenzy (was 4%).

Trickster

• Reloading knives takes 3 seconds (was 4 seconds).

Survivors on the hook have an internal "camp meter" which fills when the Killer is nearby. The meter fills faster the closer the Killer is, but is slower when other Survivors are near (never becomes negative).

Once the meter is full, the Survivor gets a prompt allowing them to escape the hook with 100% probability. Survivors who take this action gain Endurance for 15 seconds.

This feature shuts off entirely once the Exit Gates are powered.

As part of this system, the Cannibal can no longer hit a Survivor who has Endurance twice in the same 0.5 second timespan.

Shattered Square Map Update
The Shattered Square Map received a lot of comments at release. Some issues were related to the objects being low to the ground and hard to see, especially when it came to Killers that are navigating with a first person camera. We did a clean up and made sure that the loops feel smoother.

There were also inconsistencies with our visual and navigation language. Objects were placed in a way that it felt possible to simply climb, because of similar angles to stairs or slopes found in other maps. This was resolved by taking away some of the objects or placing assets that match the collisions.
The line of sight was very low and gave the ability for players to see accross the map. A clear line of sight can be detrimental for both roles depending of the play style. We have changed the positioning of tiles with higher line of sight blockers to be more predominent.

The size of the Map was large and we decided to reduce the size to encourage encounters, make it more dynamic and reduce the time to find interactables (generators, hooks, totems, chest, etc.)

MacMillan Estate Realm Update
The Maps of the MacMillan Estate Realm have been in the game for about 7 years. The layouts and other information have been available within the community for a while, but The Entity reminded us to give players a chaotic experience. Therefore, we are adding new variations of the MacMillan Estate Realm maps to the existing pool.

Reworked the Bots Skill Check system:

• Success rates now correlate with Skill Check size.
  
• Skill Check debuffs, such as The Doctor's Madness or Hex: Huntress Lullaby, reduce the odds of hitting the Skill Check.

• Fixed an issue that caused the Killer to hear Ripley's dialogue in the menus.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the subtitles in The Mastermind's Mori to disappear quickly after appearing.

• Bots can now attempt to self-unhook.
  
• Bots now break a stare-down with the Killer earlier when standing still on opposite sides of a Remote Flame Turret.
  
• Bots now try to look for potential Killer approach paths when doing long interactions, taking breaks from turning the camera slowly around.

• Fixed an issue that caused The Huntress, The Cannibal, The Clown, Ghostface and The Hag to not follow the rule of looking slightly down when vaulting.
  
• The Xenomorph's tail attack no longer allow to hit behind the killer
  
• The FOV increase from Blinks can no longer be seen on the Tally screen when leaving a match during a Blink as The Nurse

• Fixed an issue where the Dream Snares of The Nightmare could be placed under the floor of The Shattered Square's main building.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Dream Snares of The Nightmare could be placed under the floor of The Toba Landing Base.

• Map icons variations will display numerical indicators.

• Equipped Charms are now always visible on the displayed character in the Store.

Spooky season is officially underway, and we’re getting in the spirit with a hefty Developer Update covering everything coming to the game within the next month. This time, we have news to share about new features, Killer updates, and various Perk & map changes.



You probably don’t want to find yourself on the hook in the first place, but it can quickly become frustrating if the Killer decides to wait nearby, preventing all but the most coordinated of teams from rescuing you. Camping has long been a contentious topic: While there are times where camping is the smart thing for the Killer to do (if there are Survivors nearby, for example), there’s not much the Survivor being camped can do. To help in the most extreme cases, we are introducing a new feature which may give you a second chance.

Going forward, you’ll notice a new meter appears whenever you are on the hook. This meter will gradually fill whenever the Killer is near you. The closer the Killer is, the faster the meter will build. Once it is full, you’ll gain the ability to unhook yourself with a 100% chance of success, even during the second hook phase. Unhooking yourself in this way will grant you all the usual benefits such as Endurance and Haste.


To ensure that this cannot be abused by aggressive Survivors, the rate at which the meter fills will decrease – or potentially even stop entirely – when other Survivors are nearby. Additionally, once the exit gates are powered, this feature is disabled entirely. This is because at this point in the match, the Killer needs to do whatever they can to secure one last kill, so we can’t expect them to graciously leave the hook.

This new mechanic is intended to address the most egregious camping scenarios, discouraging Killers from standing too close to a hooked Survivor for an extended period and creating opportunities for the other Survivors to make the save.



It’s been a while since the sound of drones first filled The Entity’s Realm. Since then, The Skull Merchant’s Eyes in the Sky have largely been used as “eyes on the generators”, leading to some very long matches. In this update, we are overhauling The Skull Merchant’s drones to reduce their effectiveness in defending generators while improving their strength in a chase.


Active zones – being the main culprit behind The Skull Merchant’s ability to defend generators – are no more. On top of making Survivors exposed, these zones provided The Skull Merchant with too much information on the Survivors within them, allowing the Killer to quickly react and chase them away.

With active zones removed, The Skull Merchant’s drones need a new way to lock onto Survivors. Now, whenever a Survivor is scanned by a drone’s beams, they will receive one stack of Lock On. Upon reaching three stacks of Lock On, the Survivor will immediately receive a Claw Trap.

However, avoiding a drone’s scanners won’t be easy thanks to the introduction of two new modes.


Eyes in the Sky will now have two modes: Stealth Mode, and Scouting Mode.

In Stealth Mode: The drone’s spinning beams will be invisible, and the drone will be much quieter. Survivors will want to watch closely for the lights on the drone itself to tell where the beams are so they can sneak up and disable it.

In Scouting Mode: The drone’s scan lines will be visible and rotate much faster, making them more difficult to approach or run by undetected.

In either mode, the drone’s scan lines will not detect a Survivor who is stationary, effectively preventing them from being used to guard generators. A Survivor can interact with a drone in either state to disable it for 45 seconds, after which they will return to Stealth Mode.


Survivors who end up with a Claw Trap will find themselves on the receiving end of the following effects:

• If they are healthy, they will be instantly injured.
  
• If they are injured, they will receive Deep Wounds. This will not grant the Survivor a speed boost.
  
• The Survivor suffers from the Broken Status Effect until the trap is removed.
  
• Their location will be revealed on the Killer’s scanner for a short duration.

Additionally, Survivors with a Claw Trap who are scanned by one of the Killer’s drones:

• Receive a 10% movement speed penalty for 6 seconds.
  
• Are revealed to the Killer with Killer Instinct on their location for 3 seconds.

The Claw Trap’s battery will expire, and the trap will be removed automatically after 45 seconds.


We have also made many adjustments across many aspects of The Skull Merchant to improve the way it feels to play as and against her:

• The Skull Merchant now has 6 drones available (was 4).
  
• The Skull Merchant will now immediately become Undetectable for 8 seconds after deploying a drone.
  
• The minimum distance between drones is now 16m (was 22m).
  
• The Killer’s movement speed is no longer decreased when checking the scanner.
  
• Lock On progress no longer decays.
  
• Drones can no longer be manually reactivated.
  
• Drones can now be placed above or below other drones deployed on different floors.
  
• Failing to hack a drone will now grant one stack of Lock On instead of instantly Locking On.
  
• The Skull Merchant’s footsteps are now quieter, making her harder to track behind walls.
  
• We have updated The Skull Merchant’s chase music.
  
• We have reviewed The Skull Merchant’s Add-ons, adjusting some and giving new effects to others.

Combined, these changes push The Skull Merchant’s drones in a more chase-oriented direction, giving them more immediate consequences when they are triggered rather than slowly building over time. At the same time, her ability to defend generators for excessive lengths of time has also been reduced substantially. We will be keeping a close eye on these changes and making further adjustments as needed.



This update will feature a gameplay update to the Shattered Square map. When reviewing feedback for this map, we identified a few points of feedback we wanted to address.



It was possible to bump into some small objects, such as piles of hay or carcasses. Since these obstacles were so small, it was possible that you could bump into them without even seeing them, leading to some frustrating moments. We have done a pass on these sorts of objects to ensure that anything which might block your path is clearly visible, in most cases making them taller so they are easier to see.


The Shattered Square is among the largest maps in the game, and contrary to its name, it isn’t even a square. It’s actually a rectangle! 🤯

The size of this map can make patrolling a little difficult. To help with this, we have reduced the size of the map (turning it into a proper square in the process). The positions of some tiles have been readjusted as a result.


Most obstacles in the map tended to be fairly low, making it quite easy for Killers to spot Survivors at long ranges, and difficult for stealthy Killers to sneak up on Survivors. To break up these long sight lines, we have rearranged some tiles to limit how far you are able to see from any given point.


Last but not least, we have made various changes to make the map easier to navigate. This includes making it clearer which objects can be walked on and which will block your path.




Our work on maps doesn’t stop there, the entire MacMillan Estate Realm is being expanded. Each map in this Realm has received a second alternate version.

What does this mean? The next time you load into Suffocation Pit, for example, things might be a little different. The trademark mineshaft will still be there, but it may be in a different spot. The shape and layout of the map might also be slightly different.

The goal with these variants is to add more variety to existing maps without changing the unique properties that sets them apart, such as their size, a bottleneck or chokepoint that separates either side of the map, and so on.


Next up, we have a few small tweaks for a handful of Perks.


Furtive Chase is one of the lesser used Killer Perks, providing a way to switch Obsessions throughout the match and reduce your Terror Radius during a chase. To give this Perk a slight boost, we are increasing the Terror Radius reduction for each token to 5 meters (was 4 meters) for a maximum of 20 meters.


This Perk allows you to sprint very quickly when the Killer picks up another Survivor, creating an opportunity to get into position for a save. Not only is this Perk highly situational, but it leaves you Exhausted, which could hinder you if you’re chased shortly after. To make sure this Perk is meaningful when it activates, we are increasing the duration of the speed boost to 5 seconds (was 4 seconds).


To cap things off, we also have a short list of adjustments for a few different Killers. As usual, these are smaller scale tweaks that we manage to squeeze into various updates.


The Trapper fills a very unique role in Dead by Daylight. Since he is all over the cover and is unlocked right away, he ends up being a lot of people’s first experience playing as Killer. Because of this, we try to keep him as simple and straightforward as possible: See a trap, set a trap. Among newer players, The Trapper already performs fairly well, and we don’t to throw off that balance too much. That said, in higher end matches, The Trapper can struggle to keep up. To assist in those cases, we have made a few changes:

• 8 Bear-Traps will now spawn on the map (was 6).
  
• The Trapper will receive a 7.5% Haste effect after setting a Bear-Trap.

We expect these changes to have a minimal impact in lower skill matches where The Trapper is already performing well but provide a nice boost to higher end players who know how to take advantage of them. Additional Bear-Traps will help ensure that you have an adequate supply particularly on larger maps, and the added Haste effect can help close the gap in case Survivors catch on and begin running away while you set them.


For both these Killers, reloading your projectiles at a locker is a must. However, doing so gives Survivors a big head start to run away and gain some distance. For this reason, many Huntress & Trickster players will run Add-ons or Perks like Iron Maiden to reduce their reload time. To improve quality of life and reduce reliance on these Perks & Add-ons, we have reduced the reload time for each Killer to 3 seconds (was 4 seconds).


Speaking of reloads, The Deathslinger will also find himself reloading very frequently. Because of this, Add-ons which reduce his reload time see a lot of use. To make these Add-ons less essential, we have taken part of the effect of the Warden’s Keys Add-on and incorporated it into the base kit and adjusted this Add-on accordingly. The Deathslinger now reloads in 2.6 seconds by default (was 2.75).

Second, we have increased the movement speed bonuses while aiming down sights for both the Jaw Smasher and Wanted Poster Add-ons to 1.5% and 3% respectively (was 1% and 2.5%) to make them more interesting choices to consider.


Lastly, we’ve adjusted The Legion’s BFFs Add-on. This Add-on granted a 4% movement speed increase when the gates were powered so long as the Killer managed to land enough Feral Frenzy strikes during the match. Since this effect needed to be earned and is only active during the very end of the match, we are increasing this movement speed bonus to 6% to make it more impactful.

---

With that, we’ve reached the end of this month’s Developer Update. Each of the features and adjustments mentioned in this post will be available to try on the Public Test Build starting this week, with the full update going live on all platforms at a later date.

For the first time, join us tomorrow at 10am ET in the Dead by Daylight Discord server as our designers run through the full patch notes early. As always, be sure to let us know what you think after you’ve gotten your hands on them!

Until next time…

Dead by Daylight’s Alien Chapter brings two iconic characters into The Fog: new Killer the Xenomorph and new Survivor Ellen Ripley. A new Map, Nostromo Wreckage, is available for all players. This Chapter Pack unlocks the Motion Tracker Charm, as well as the Very Rare Back in Action Outfit for Ellen Ripley.



A perfect organism designed to kill, the Xenomorph emerged from the chest cavity of a host and sought cover in the shadows of the Nostromo. Using the air ducts, it killed its prey one by one, until only the human Ripley remained. Desperate for survival, Ripley destroyed the Nostromo and sought refuge in an escape vessel. As the Xenomorph went in for the kill, the airlock opened and it was ejected into the cold vacuum of space. All seemed lost, until in an instant, it disappeared in a cloud of black fog.

Ellen Ripley served as a warrant officer on the Nostromo during the ship’s final voyage, when an unknown alien lifeform attached itself to one of her crew and escaped onto the ship. As the creature grew, its reign of terror continued, picking off crew members until only Ripley remained. After a harrowing escape, Ripley entered her hypersleep chamber. The dark fog of sleep slithered and coiled around her, and she closed her eyes on one nightmare... only to open them in another.

• New Killer: the Xenomorph

See you in the Fog,
The Dead by Daylight team.

• Update releases: 11AM ET
  
• DLC releases: 12PM ET
  
• Note: Release times are an estimate and may vary from platform to platform.

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.

• 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.

• Lucky Star
  When you hide in a locker, this perk activates. You leave no pools of blood and make no grunts of pain for 10 seconds. When you exit the locker, you see other survivors and the closest generator's aura in yellow for 10 seconds. This perk then goes on cooldown for 40/35/30 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.

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.
