It’s time for another Developer Update! In this post, we’ll cover all the balance changes & improvements making their way to the game the next major update.



Killer Tweaks
For this update, we’ve given a few of the Killers in our roster both quality of life and balance improvements. We’ve identified a handful of Killers that could use some small base kit improvements to help reduce their dependency on certain Add-Ons. There’s a lot to go through, so we’ll do our best to keep them brief!

The Pig
In a shocking turn of events, we have decided to buff The Pig. More specifically, we have made improvements to both The Pig’s Ambush and Crouch abilities. The goal with these changes is to make her Ambush and stealth abilities more useful and make her less reliant on her Reverse Bear Traps.

Ambush:

Since we’ve started regularly sharing stats last year, we’ve received various requests for different kinds of data you would like to see. On top of the usual statistics we share, we’ve selected a few of the most requested topics to share with you today.

Before we dive in, we would like to remind everyone that while data may be fun to talk about, it does not paint a full picture. The numbers we’ll be sharing are very broad, covering millions of matches played all around the world, so the numbers may not reflect your personal experiences. We encourage you to have fun discussing this info, but please try not to draw any conclusions from data alone! It’s important to dig deeper understand the context behind the numbers you see; even we don’t make decisions based on data on its own.

Popular Perks
Starting things off, here’s an update to the 10 most popular Perks for each role! The percentage listed next to each Perk indicates their usage rate- in other words, the lik... Read more

For the first time, we’re excited to announce the arrival of Lights Out, a limited-time Modifier that brings a terrifying new layer of fear to Dead by Daylight.


Dead by Daylight is a horror game that revels in tension and fright, where an adrenaline-pumping chase can break out at any moment. For those who have been with us for some time, you may have grown accustomed to certain gameplay staples. Perhaps you’ve memorized a Map or figured out how to effectively counter specific characters and playstyles.

In other words, we recognize that the longer you spend in the darkness, the more your eyes adjust to the terrors lurking within.

Enter Lights Out, a limited-time Modifier that introduces a new experience for players of all levels.

WHEN: February 7th, 11 AM ET – February 14th, 11 AM ET

Features Field of View Settings There is a new settings option in DbD! Players now have the ability to adjust their FOV, or field-of-view, with a slider in the Settings Menu. This allows players with a first-person-camera (Killers, with the exception of The Good Guy) to adjust their field-of-view, reducing motion-sickness and other accessibility issues. This feature is initially in the Beta Tab while we allow for thorough testing.

We’re a few weeks into the new year, and that can only mean two things: 1) Most of us have broken our resolutions already, and 2) It’s time for us to recap our first PTB of the year. In this Developer Update, we’ll discuss the feedback we’ve received from the most recent Public Test Build (PTB) and the changes we’ll be making before the update goes live.


The Onryō
In this update, we aimed to restore the gameplay longtime Onryō players missed while also maintaining some of the more recent quality of life improvements. We were glad to see such a positive reaction to these changes on the PTB. However, there are a few rough edges we’d like to iron out before this update releases.

Locked-In Condemned
With your current Condemned progress becoming permanent when you were hooked, Survivors who were hooked with several stacks became a clear target for T... Read more
