Dead by Daylight

9.3.2 | Bugfix Patch

Posted by Goblin_BHVR on

Important

  • The Breakdown and Wicked perks have been re-enabled.

Content

Killer Updates

The Skull Merchant

  • Increased the Undetectable duration to 8 seconds (was 6).

  • Decoupled the Undetectable status effect from Deploying a Drone.

    • Gain Undetectable when Recalling a Drone instead.

Survivor Perk Updates

  • Breakdown:

    • Any time you are removed from a hook (escaped or saved), the hook breaks and the Killer's aura is shown to you for 4/5/6 seconds. A hook broken by this perk takes 180 seconds to respawn (Reverted to this version).

  • 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 (Reverted to this version).

Archives and Events

  • The "Bone Chill" event returns Tuesday, December 9th at 11:00 AM Eastern.

Environment / Maps

Pallet Density Changes

  • Evaluated and adjusted pallet loops on Autohaven Wreckers, Backwater Swamp, Crotus Prenn Asylum, The MacMillan Estate, Ormond, Red Forest, and Yamaoka Estate. These changes include:

    • Adjusted the length of loops that were too short and unsafe.

    • Prevented pallets from spawning against certain small objects, creating short and awkward loops.

    • Reviewed pallet randomization on certain tiles to provide more spawn variation.

Dev note: We've done another pass on pallet tiles and loops in order to find a middle ground between the last two updates. We will be closely monitoring the impact of these changes as we collect data and continue to adjust to find a sweet spot that feels great for both roles!
