A beacon of hope in the seemingly endless abyss.
Cautiously, she searches the rooms for any hidden threats...

Tome 11: DEVOTION is available now through The Archives.

See you in The Fog,

The Dead by Daylight team.

In order to improve patch times, we have restructured the game files. Future updates will be significantly faster, however, opting in or out of the 5.7.0 Public Test Build will require a very large download.

Progress & save data information has been copied from the Live game to our PTB servers on March 29th. 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.

• UI Update - Added an indicator to the Searching for Friends popup when loading data.

• Visual Update for the Haddonfield Map.

General

• Difficulty ratings for Survivors have been removed
  
• Difficulty ratings for Killers are now Easy, Moderate, Hard, or Very Hard
  
• Easy: These Killers are the easiest for a first-time player
  
• Moderate: Require the player to be comfortable with the basics of the role, though the Killers share common mechanics with those from the Easy category
  
• Hard: Use mechanics that are specific to the Killer and require more practice to be effective
  
• Very Hard: Require a high amount of practice and understanding, inexperienced players would likely find little success when using them

Dev Note: Since all Survivors have the same mechanics, they are no longer separated into different difficulty tiers. Killer difficulty is based on overall mechanical and strategic complexity, specifically for newer players.

Hemorrhage Rework

• New Effect: Survivors affected by the Hemorrhage Status Effect have their healing progression regress at a steady rate when not being healed
  
• Healing regresses at a rate of 7% per second (this means a 99% full heal would take 14 seconds to completely empty)
  
• Sloppy Butcher and The Nightmare's "Z" Block Add-on have been modified to take the new effect into account (changes listed below)

Dev Note: Hemorrhage has had a reputation of being a "useless" status effect, so we reworked it to have a more meaningful impact on the core mechanic of survivor healing.

Perks
Boil Over

• Increases struggling effects by 60/70/80% (was 50/75/100%)

Dev Note: Boil Over's wiggle impact was causing some players to have significant issues navigating certain maps, beyond the intended impact of the perk. We are planning to look at wiggle impact more generally in a future patch, but for now we are toning down the impact from Boil Over to prevent particularly egregious cases.

Boon: Circle of Healing

• Increases healing speed bonus by 40/45/50% (was 65/70/75%)

Dev Note: As it was foretold, so it has been delivered.

Sloppy Butcher

• Modified to account for the Hemorrhage Rework
  
• Increases the rate at which healing progression is lost by 15/20/25% (was increasing bleeding frequency by 50/75/100%)

The Nightmare

• Add-on - "Z" Block
  
• Modified to account for the Hemorrhage Rework
  
• Survivors interacting with a Dream Trap suffer from the Hemorrhage Status Effect for 90 seconds (was 60 seconds, no longer causes them to bleed when healthy)

The Legion

• The Legion now has unique Terror Radius and Chase music, which can be modified by the Mix Tape add-ons
  
• New: Each successful hit with Feral Slash now increases The Legion's movement speed by +0.2m/s for the remainder of Feral Frenzy
  
• New: After 4 successful hits with Feral Slash, the next Feral Slash will put the survivor into the dying state and end Feral Frenzy
  
• When Feral Frenzy ends, the power gauge now starts charging immediately (Previously waited for the fatigue sequence to end)
  
• Fatigue after Feral Frenzy lasts for 3 seconds (was 4 seconds)
  
• Add-on - Mischief List
  
• Increases the Duration of Feral Frenzy by 2 seconds (was 1 second)
  
• Add-on - Scratched Ruler
  
• Decreases Feral Frenzy recharge time by 5 seconds (was 2 seconds)
  
• Add-on - Suzie's Mix Tape
  
• Increases Killer Instinct detection range by 20 meters (was 16 meters)
  
• Add-on - Filthy Blade
  
• Increases time required for Survivors to mend by 4 seconds (was 2.5 seconds)

• Reworked Add-on - Etched Ruler

• Reworked Add-on - Julie's Mix Tape
  
• While using Feral Frenzy: Breaking walls is 30% faster, the power gauge pauses while breaking a wall
  
• Reworked Add-on - Mural Sketch
  
• Increases Speed Boost per hit during Feral Frenzy to 0.3m/s
  
• Reworked Add-on - Never-sleep Pills
  
• The Legion's base move speed during Feral Frenzy is 4.6/ms
  
• Increases the duration of Feral Frenzy by 10 seconds
  
• Gain 100 to 500 bonus Bloodpoints for each successive hit on a Survivor during Feral Frenzy
  
• Reworked Add-on - Joey's Mix Tape
  
• Survivors who self-mend a Deep Wound from Feral Frenzy are inflicted with Hemorrhage until fully healed

• Note: Regression effect does stack with Hex: Ruin or other regression effects
  
• New Add-on - Stylish Sunglasses
  
• Shows the auras of Survivors who are mending within a 24 meter radius
  
• New Add-on - BFFs
  
• Earn tokens for hitting Survivors during Feral Frenzy
  
• Second chained hit: 1 token
  
• Third chained hit: 2 tokens
  
• Fourth chained hit: 3 tokens
  
• Fifth chained hit: 4 tokens
  
• Once the gates are powered, if 30 or more tokens have been collected, gain a 4% movement speed boost when not using Feral Frenzy
  
• Removed Add-ons: Nasty Blade, Cold Dirt

Dev Note: This update for Legion leans into their signature - Running really fast with a knife! The stacking movement speed from Feral Strike gives a better reward from each hit, and they now have a way to down survivors at the end of a great chain. Add-ons have also seen a major overhaul to provide more variety of playstyles.

The Ghost Face

• The Ghost Face can no longer be revealed by Marked Survivors
  
• Marked now lasts for 60 seconds (was 45 seconds)
  
• The Ghost Face now has unique Terror Radius and Chase music
  
• Reviewed the technical implementation of the stalk and reveal mechanics
  
• Fixed an issue that could lead some player's reveal to be ignored completely when multiple survivors are revealing at the same time

• Added in differentiation of the sighting zone (the zone in your screen where the target must be to be revealed or stalked) for killers and survivors to better account for the differences between 1st and 3rd person cameras
  
• Made it possible to reveal Ghost Face / stalk Survivors when they are not in the center of the screen but still take up a large amount of the screen (eg when they are very close to you)

• Decreases Night Shroud recovery time by 6 seconds (was 2 seconds)
  
• Add-on - Marked Map
  
• Increases duration of Killer Instinct after being revealed by 2 seconds (was 1 second)
  
• Add-on - Leather Knife Sheath
  
• Increases crouched movement speed by 10% (was 5.6%)
  
• Add-on - Outdoor Security Camera
  
• The auras of all Survivors are revealed for 7 seconds when a Marked Survivor is put into the dying state (was 4 seconds)
  
• Now applies to all survivors (was limited to Survivors inside the Terror Radius)
  
• Reworked Add-on - "Philly"
  
• Decreases time required to Mark a Survivor by 20%
  
• Reworked Add-on - Cinch Straps
  
• Night Shroud remains active after a failed basic attack
  
• Reworked Add-on - Olsen's Address Book
  
• Survivors that are Marked reveal their auras for 5 seconds when performing rushed actions
  
• Reworked Add-on - Olsen's Journal

• After being Marked, Survivors are inflicted with Exhausted for 5 seconds
  
• Reworked Add-on - "Ghost Face caught on Tape"
  
• Instantly recharges Night Shroud after a successful basic attack puts a Survivor into the dying state

Dev Note: Ghost Face was having a tough time generally, and his add-ons were particularly uninteresting overall. This change boosts the effectiveness of the Marked effect, and also overhauls his Add-on loadout for more interesting and powerful combinations. The reveal and stalking mechanics have also been tuned to be more predictable and intuitive.

The Archives

• Changed instances of Roman numerals in Tome names to Arabic numerals in all related contexts
  
• Reworked the description texts of Glyph Challenges and Dual Role challenges to make them consistent and clearer

The Dead by Daylight team.

Boil Over

• Changed to give 33% of current wiggle progress when falling from great heights (was a flat 25% increase)

Dev Note: This change prevents abuse of Boil Over in specific map locations where the killer has no choice but to drop from a height. It still stays relevant for longer walks and especially for basement access. At over 75% wiggle progress, it still results in an insta-drop.
