Dead by Daylight<\/a> seems to be in a state of heavy change, with some of the game’s biggest shifts in meta and gameplay ever coming this month. While many players are excited about most of the upcoming changes – which will reduce the grind and, developers say, make gameplay better on both the killer and survivor side – some things aren’t so great for existing players.<\/p>\n

Many survivors and killers alike are disappointed and frustrated with the reward for those who reached Prestige 3 before the Dead by Daylight prestige rework. Read on to learn what the reward is, and why players are so upset.<\/p>\n

In the June 2022 developer update, Dead by Daylight’s developers announced a rework to the Prestige system<\/a>. With the new system, players will no longer lose items, offerings, and perks when they prestige. These changes, according to developers, will reduce the grind by 75%.<\/p>\n

    Many players have Prestiged their characters before the rework, though, and thus lost significant amounts of Bloodpoints, offerings, perks, and items in the process.<\/p>\n

    As a result, Behaviour Interactive announced that players who reached Prestige 3 before the rework would receive a “distinct reward”. They left players wondering what it was, keeping it a surprise until the Public Test Build.<\/p>\n

    Community rages about Dead by Daylight prestige reward<\/h3>\n

    Dead by Daylight PTB 6.1.0 went live on 29th June, and most long-time players were excited to check out the hyped Prestige 3 reward in action. What they found, though, was underwhelming: the reward is a filter for characters’ lobby portraits.<\/strong> Players can toggle the animated particle effect on portraits on or off.<\/p>\n

    In other words, the only person who can see the reward is the player. Many players were hoping for something to show off to other fans; many people speculated that the reward would be a unique post-game Prestige icon.<\/p>\n

    Thousands of players took to Twitter, Reddit, and other platforms to complain about the lackluster reward.<\/p>\n

    One user even pointed out that the particle effect used for the portraits wasn’t designed specifically for Prestige 3 portraits; it is the same particle effect used on the ‘Sale’ button and past anniversary event crowns.<\/p>\n

    “It’s really disheartening as someone who has everyone at P3-50 + almost half the roster maxed,” user Lady_Lavery wrote on Reddit<\/a>. “I’d rather have no reward at all than copy pasted sparkles.”<\/p>\n
