With multiple places for survivors to skillfully evade killers, they&#8217;re no doubt one of the most frustrating places on any map to get caught in a chase with an experienced survivor. However, one Redditor pointed out that these loops are no longer as strong as they once once: there are no longer always hay bales on one side of the harvester following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dead-by-daylight\/haunted-by-daylight-2023-start-time-rewards-tome\">Halloween update<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every single harvester is now a complete drop,&#8221; they explained in the post on the official Dead by Daylight subreddit, which has already garnered almost 1,000 upvotes and 200 comments from the community. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height: 500px;\" data-embed-height=\"500\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/deadbydaylight\/comments\/17bdqic\/they_removed_the_haybales_from_the_side_of\/\">They removed the haybales from the side of harvesters..

Prior to the change, one vault would lead to a haybale ramp that would allow killers to easily hit the survivor. The other side led to a haybale with no ramp, requiring killers to vault and then fall down off the haybale again to catch up.<\/p>\n<p>Now, whether there is a haybale there at all appears to be based on RNG, as some players have reported there being a haybale on one side while others report it as always being a straight drop down to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>With no haybale at the harvester, the harvester loop on Coldwind is no longer an exceptionally strong loop for survivors; killers can easily follow them down the vault, preventing them from gaining much distance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s actually a pretty big deal,&#8221; one Redditor commented. &#8220;That&#8217;s a strong loop.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another suggested that it&#8217;s a change in favor of killers and that it may be part of an ongoing trend.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&rsquo;re definitely shifting map designs towards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dead-by-daylight\/most-popular-killers-pick-rates\">the killers<\/a> over the last few patches,&#8221; they added. &#8220;Maybe this is the direction they will take moving forward?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dead by Daylight&#8217;s harvesters, on the Coldwind Farm Realm, are some of the game&#8217;s most infamous loops.
