Dead By Daylight Patch Notes (2023): Updates & Latest PTB News

Further down, we've added the updated patch notes for 6.2.2. This bugfix patch includes changes to screams and introduces changes to the Skull Merchant's powers.

Behaviour Interactive says a Dead by Daylight update is coming next week, with changes to the Skull Merchant's power, screams, and more. We will update this page with more information as soon as the patch goes live.

Behavior Interactive has released the 6.6.1 update, with a number of bug fixes.

We've updated this page with the new hotfix patch notes.

Further down this page we've added the new patch notes for the Dead By Daylight 6.6.0 update.

The developers have made some changes to the Chapter since it was tested on the Public Test Build. Check out this blogpost for more details.

Dead by Daylight Chapter 27: Tools of Torment will go live today and that means we should probably expect a sizeable new patch for the game based on the PTB these past few weeks.

Stay tuned for more details.

It’s been about a week since the Tools of Torment Public Test Build (PTB) went live, and Behaviour Interactive have a few changes in mind for the game.

The changes are fairly extensive so we advise hopping over to the latest Dead By Daylight article to read through all the various balance adjustments which the devs have prepared for the Chapter’s release on March 7th. 

Of course, we'll be sure to share updated patch notes once they're released.

Dead By Daylight Tools Of Torment Chapter is now live on the PTB. We've added the official patch notes released by Behavior Interactive, further down.

New Killer: The Skull Merchant

Perks:

Game Afoot: While you are chasing the Obsession, this perk activates. Damaging Generators and destroying Breakable Walls and Pallets gives you a 5% Haste Status for 8/9/10 seconds. Whenever you hit the Survivor with the total most time in chase with a Basic Attack, they become the Obsession. The Killer can only be Obsessed with one Survivor at a time.

THWACK!: After hooking a Survivor, this perk activates. The next Breakable Wall or Pallet you break will make Survivors within 28/30/32 meters scream and reveal their aura for 4 seconds. (Changed from PTB: removed activation timer and distance is now a tiered value)

Leverage: Each time you hook a Survivor, gain 1 token, up to 10. When you Hook a Survivor, this perk activates for 30 seconds. For each token, reduces the speed at which Survivors heal by 3/4/5%.

New Survivor: Thalita Lyra

Perks:

Cut Loose: After performing a rushed vault in a chase, this Perk activates. While active, your rushed vaults are silent for up to 4/5/6 seconds, and successfully performing a rushed vault during that time resets the timer. This perk goes on cool-down for 45 seconds.

Friendly Competition:Whenever you finish Repairing a Generator with at least one other Survivor, this Perk activates. You and other Survivors who finished Repairing the Generator with you get 5% increased Repair progress speed for 45/60/75 seconds. Survivors can only have one instance of this Perk's ability active at once.

Teamwork: Power of Two: Whenever you finish healing another Survivor, you both move 5% faster as long as you stay within 12 meters of the Survivor you healed or until one of you loses a Health State. Teamwork: Power of Two can only trigger once every 180/160/140 seconds. Survivors can only be affected by one Teamwork: Power of Two effect at a time.

New Survivor: Renato Lyra

Perks:

Background Player: When the Killer picks up another Survivor, Background Player activates for 10 seconds. When you start running, you break into a sprint at 150% of your normal Running Movement speed for 4 seconds and become exhausted. This perk cannot be used while exhausted. This perk causes exhaustion for 60/50/40 seconds. (Changed from PTB; now activates on pickup for 10 seconds, triggers on starting to run, increases move speed for 4 seconds)

Blood Rush: This Perk activates once you are one Hook away from instant death. While healthy, running, and suffering from Exhaustion, press the Active Ability Button 1 to lose a Health State and recover from Exhaustion instantly and gain the Broken status effect for 28/24/20 seconds. You are automatically healed from injured to healthy after 28/24/20 seconds. Being put into the Dying State will cancel the healing effect. Activating Blood Rush will disable it for the remainder of the trial. Exhaustion prevents Survivors from activating other Perks that cause Exhaustion. Broken prevents Survivors from being healed.

Teamwork: Collective Stealth:Whenever another Survivor finishes healing you, you both leave no scratch marks as long as you stay within 12 meters of the Survivor who healed you or until one of you loses a health state. Teamwork: Collective Stealth can only trigger once every 180/160/140 seconds. Survivors can only be affected by one Teamwork: Collective Stealth effect at a time.

Map Changes: Shelter Woods

A makeshift command center was erected here, its rigid walls and sharp angles standing in stark contrast to the twisted wood and soil. For those who chance upon this crude structure, the realization that this complex belongs to an apex hunter—a hunter whose prey is human—usually comes too late.

Visual Update: Red Forest

We’ve taken a lengthy visit to the Red Forest Realm, which includes the Maps Temple of Purgation and Mother’s Dwelling. How about a nice, long walk in the woods?

Visual Update: Haddie Kaur

• Visual improvement to eyes and hair.

• Hair shape and color adjusted to be more reflective of her lore.

• Added blood to Prestige hair.

• Visual update to her uncommon skin makeup.

• Icons and portrait updated.

Quality of Life

Map Repeat Prevention

This update improves the Map selection process. Now, the possibility that players in a Trial will see the same Map as their previous Trial has been reduced to near-zero. It’s also unlikely that they will be sent to a recently visited Map, though the likelihood will be a little higher than near-zero.This will not impact the efficacy of Map Offerings, nor will it affect Custom Games.

Perk Changes

• Any Means Necessary: Removed cooldown.

• Eruption: After kicking a Generator, its aura is highlighted in yellow. Whenever a Survivor enters the Dying State, every affected Generator explodes, losing 10% worth of progress and starts to regress. Any Survivor repairing a Generator when it explodes will scream and reveal their aura 8/10/12 seconds. Eruption has a cooldown of 30 seconds. (Changed from PTB: now 10% of total progress, not current progress)

Loading Timeout

After analyzing the data on our side, we have established a set of expected loading times for each of the steps while loading into a Trial. As a result, if any player crashes or hangs while loading, we will now be able to return everyone to the Tally much earlier.

Reporting Players

We know that sometimes you may face unsportsmanlike behaviour even before a match. We have now added the option to report a player from the online lobby.

Miscellaneous Updates

Triggered scream audio

We have done a consistency pass on the following perks and addons which trigger audio feedback when the position of a Survivor is revealed:

Deathbound, Dragon's Grip, Eruption, Hex: Face the Darkness, Infectious Fright, Iron Maiden, Make Your Choice, Iridescent Family Crest, Incensed Ointment, Healing Poultice, Greasy Black Lens.

When a Survivor screams to reveal their location, the scream will be a 3d scream (instead of a 2d/mapwide scream), with a 19m max range, and a loud noise sfx is triggered.

Bug Fixes

Adept Achievements / Merciless Killer

We've applied a tentative fix that should resolve an issue surrounding Merciless Killer, wherein Killing 4 Survivors would not trigger it as intended. Your Tally Screen Results should now be displayed accurately. 

However, we are still working on a consistent fix to an issue surrounding the Adept Achievements for Killer and Survivor, which are still not unlocking correctly in select situations. 

General 

• There is no longer a missing prompt while purchasing Outfits.

• Killer players in a lobby will no longer see character swap arrows after opening the Bloodweb.

Content 

Event - Moonlight Burrow 

• The "Moonlight Burrow" Lunar New Year event starts January 24, 1pm ET. 

Archives 

• Tome 14 - BETRAYAL Level 1 opens January 25, 11am ET. 

Archive Challenges:  

• "Dark Triumph" Killer Challenge: As The Executioner, Survivors who die inside a Cage of Atonement now award progress. 

• "Terrified" Killer Challenge: As The Trickster, Survivors hit by Showstopper blades no longer award progress. 

• "Near Miss" Survivor Challenge: Dodging Basic Attacks from The Oni and The Ghost Face (while crouched) now awards progress. 

• "The Engineer's Guild" Survivor Challenge: Progress is now cumulative and no longer resets when the co-op action is interrupted.

Features 

Quality Of Life  

Survivor Activity HUD 

• The Survivor HUD now features an indicator that appears whenever they or their teammates engage in an activity. Activities include Repairing a Generator, being chased by the Killer, Healing, recovering from the Dying State, Cleansing or Blessing a Totem, opening an Exit Gate, or interacting with a Killer’s Power.

Merciless Killer  

• Moving forward, getting 4 Kills will earn the Killer a Merciless Killer rating, rather than the previous requirement of a double pip.

The Queuing Experience  

• Players are now able to browse the Store, The Archives and Daily Rituals, while queueing for a match. If they are mid-purchase when the lobby is ready, the game will wait for the conclusion of the transaction – though it will kick the player if the delay is too long.  

• While queued, Killers can browse their other Killers and change their loadouts and customizations. This will not affect their currently queued character, who remains shown beside the "Looking for Match" message.  

Dev Note: Due to a potential disconnection during cinematics, we had to disable the viewing of cinematics when in a party or queueing for a match.

Wiggling  

Following a period in BETA, the updated Wiggle system is now standard for all players. Rather than mashing the left and right inputs to Wiggle, it now follows a ping-pong Skill Check system.   

Based on the feedback we’ve received from players – thank you very much – we have made a few adjustments to the system.  

• Controller input handling has been improved, which should allow Killers to respond to Wiggling more efficiently while carrying Survivors.    

• Survivors no longer shorten carry time by hitting Great Skill Checks. Instead, Great Skill Checks will increase resistance for the Killer. 

• The size of the Great Skill Check zone has been slightly increased. We’ve also updated the Wiggling sound effects for improved feedback.  

Balance Changes  

The Knight   

Now that the Forged In Fog Chapter has been released for several weeks, we have updated several aspects of The Knight’s Base Kit:  

• While using his Power, The Knight is now forced out of Guard Summon Mode after 10 seconds. 

• While tracing a Patrol Path, The Knight’s Orb shrinks with distance travelled and disappears completely after 10m.  

• When The Knight creates a Patrol Path longer than 10m, he will gain the Haste Status Effect. The Effect’s duration depends on the length of the Path, beginning at 2 seconds and increasing to 10 seconds at the maximum distance of 32m. The 10-second duration was 6 seconds on the PTB.

• When a Guard detects a Survivor: If your Patrol Path is over 10m, the time it takes that Guard to reach the Survivor has been decreased. This reduction depends on the length of your Path, ranging from the default 10% to a maximum of 25% if your Path reaches 32m. Basically, the longer your Patrol Path, the faster your Guard will move once he detects a Survivor.   

• Using a Guard to damage a Generator now grants an instant 5% loss of progress (previously 2.5%).   

Add-On Updates:  

• Healing Poultice: When Survivors are within 24m of The Assassin when he spawns, their locations will be revealed for 5 seconds (up from 3).   

The Nurse  

The Nurse holds an interesting place in the Killer Roster. Though her Power can be challenging to master, she can be extremely deadly in practiced hands, especially with certain Perks that accentuate her mobility. While we don’t want to completely overhaul her, we have made some updates to The Nurse, including a pass on her Add-Ons.  

In addition, The Nurse is officially the latest Killer to receive her own theme in the menu, as well as a new Terror Radius and Chase Music.  

Base Kit:   

• Any Attack made after Blinking is now a Blink Attack, not a Basic Attack. This will impact how The Nurse synergizes with certain Perks, including those that trigger the Exposed Status Effect.  

Add-On Updates:  

• Catatonic Boy’s Treasure: Reduces extra fatigue from Chain Blinks by 65% (was 100).   

• Dark Cincture: Increases movement speed after a Blink but before the following fatigue by 30%.  

• Heavy Panting: Extends the duration of a Lunge by 30% after more than one Blink.  

• Ataxic Respiration: Reduces base Blink fatigue duration by 7% (was 12%).  

• Fragile Wheeze: Blink Attacks inflict the Mangled status effect.  

• Campbell's Last Breath: After reappearing from a fully charged Blink, The Nurse immediately Blinks again at full charge in the direction she is currently facing. This only works if The Nurse has a remaining Blink charge (was originally a half-charged Blink).  

• "Bad Man's" Last Breath: Hitting a Survivor with a successful Blink Attack grants the Undetectable status effect for 25 seconds (up from 16). This effect may be only triggered once every 45 seconds (down from 60).  

• Kavanaugh's Last Breath: When succumbing to fatigue, any Survivors within 8 meters of The Nurse are afflicted with the Blindness status effect for 60 seconds.  

• Jenner's Last Breath: Once The Nurse has exhausted all her Blinks, The Nurse can immediately Blink back to her original position by pressing the Active Ability Button. Must be triggered before The Nurse succumbs to fatigue. After returning to her original position, one Blink charge is restored (added restoration of 1 Blink charge; this is a change from the PTB where all charges were restored).  

• Torn Bookmark: Adds 1 Blink charge. Increases Blink recharge time by 30% (was 50%).  

• Matchbox: Sets maximum number of Blink charges to 1. Increases The Nurse's base movement speed to 4.4 m/s (was 4.2 m/s, no longer allows other addons to increase Blink charges).

We’ve also adjusted the following:  

• Improved feedback for the Spasmodic Breath Add-On. 

• Updated Blink recharge audio to give a better indication of when Blink charges are full.

Eyrie of Crows Map 

Eyrie of Crows has received an additional balance pass to make the Map more fun to play for both Survivor and Killer. 

• The Map's length has been shortened.

• Generators are more evenly distributed.

• The main building has been moved toward the Map's edge. 

• The strength of certain main building loops has been decreased.
