(Picture: Behaviour Interactive)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Mid-Chapter update featured the biggest overhaul of perks in Dead by Daylight history, with over 40 meta perks undergoing changes. As developers monitored the game and processed users&#8217; feedback, they decided to make a few changes to perks.<\/p>\n<h3>Thanatophobia<\/h3>\n<p>Many fans have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/deadbydaylight\/comments\/wdm4k1\/ngl_its_not_unjustified\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">complained on social media<\/a> about the notorious slowdown perk Thanatophobia after Dead by Daylight&#8217;s major perk changes last month. The perk received a buff to its strength in the last update, raising its individual repair penalties from 5% to 5.5% at perk tier 3, and increasing the maximum penalty to 22%.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dead-by-daylight\/resident-evil-dead-by-daylight-new-killer-wesker\">Resident Evil x Dead by Daylight Leaks &#8211; New Killer Wesker And Survivor Ada Wong<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dead-by-daylight\/dead-by-daylight-ghost-month-event\">Dead by Daylight Ghost Month Event Leaked &#8211; Everything We Know So Far<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dead-by-daylight\/exterminauts-what-is-dead-by-daylight\">What is Exterminauts? &#8211; Dead By Daylight Devs New Game Leaks<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dead-by-daylight\/dead-by-daylight-tome-12-challenges-lore\"><strong>Dead by Daylight Tome 12 &#8211; Challenges, Lore, And More<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because this update also lengthened the amount of time it takes to complete a generator by 10 seconds &#8211; the first change to generator repair speeds in years &#8211; Thanatophobia became overpowered. When playing as or against killers like Legion and Plague, who can efficiently keep all survivors injured throughout the trial, running Thanatophobia could result in a match taking as long as 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in the upcoming 6.1.2 Update, Thanatophobia will receive a rework to make it not quite as strong as it was.<\/p>\n<p>The new perk text reads:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Each injured, dying, or hooked Survivor will now provide a 1\/1.5\/2% action speed penalty. If all four Survivors are either injured, dying, or hooked, Thanatophobia grants an additional 12% penalty to Survivors&rsquo; action speeds.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The lower action speed penalty is certainly a nerf, but if the killer injures all survivors, Thanatophobia can still reach its old maximum value. Overall, it still sounds like it will be strong on Legion and Plague.<\/p>\n<h3>Mettle of Man<\/h3>\n<p>Mettle of Man has been adjusted to be better consistent with other Endurance perks, which lose their effect when the survivor performs a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dead-by-daylight\/what-are-conspicuous-actions-dead-by-daylight\">Conspicuous Action<\/a>. The killer will also be notified of the survivor&#8217;s location for as long as Mettle of Man&#8217;s Endurance effect is active and the killer is more than 16 meters away.<\/p>\n<p>Because Mettle of Man will be easier to lose now with the addition of Conspicuous Actions, activating it will now only require taking 2 protection hits.<\/p>\n<h3>Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance, Merciless Storm, and Dead Man&rsquo;s Switch<\/h3>\n<p>Three killer perks will also see a few changes in the upcoming update.<\/p>\n<p>Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance once forced survivors off the generator when activated, which would instantly activate Dead Man&#8217;s Switch if the two perks were run together. The survivors would then be forced to wait a long time before repairing the generator again, allowing a massive slowdown for the killer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pain Resonance was then reworked so that it no longer forced survivors off the generator, making it incompatible with Dead Man&#8217;s Switch unless the killer physically came to the generator.<\/p>\n<p>While Pain Resonance no longer combined with Dead Man&#8217;s Switch, players found new synergy with Pain Resonance and Merciless Storm, with the regression from Pain Resonance making Merciless Storm create as many as 40 incredibly challenging back-to-back skill checks.<\/p>\n<p>In the 6.1.2 Update, Pain Resonance will again erupt generators, forcing survivors off of them &#8211; but the killer will not be notified. This means Merciless Storm and Pain Resonance&#8217;s perfect, meme-y synergy is gone, but Pain Resonance and Dead Man&#8217;s Switch will likely re-enter the meta even though developers will decrease the duration of Dead Man&#8217;s Switch to 30 seconds at tier 3.<\/p>\n<h2>Dead by Daylight Orange Glyphs<\/h2>\n<p>Tome 12: Discordance introduced a new challenge called the Orange Glyph, which inflicts the killer with a negative status effect throughout the match.

Players were meant to receive a Bloodpoint bonus for playing either killer or survivor, depending on which side needed more players at that point in time. Each player&#8217;s matchmaking incentives were intended to be different; even two players sitting next to one another were not guaranteed to have the same bonus.<\/p>\n<p>At release, though, all players were accidentally given a 100% survivor queue bonus, causing a surplus of survivors with very few killers. Because this created such lengthy queue times for survivors, Behaviour turned off the feature after just a few hours.<\/p>\n<p>Developers say they have found the fix, but it won&#8217;t be ready in the upcoming update. Instead, it will debut in the 6.2.0 Public Test Build and will be added to the game if all goes according to plan.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about what Behaviour Interactive is up to, both for Dead by Daylight and the studio&#8217;s other games, be sure to tune into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dead-by-daylight\/how-to-watch-dbd-behaviour-beyond-livestream\">Behaviour Beyond<\/a> live stream on 3rd August.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And that&#8217;s all.
