As the 7.7.0 Update approaches, we’ve prepared some adjustments after going through the feedback we’ve collected during the Public Test Build (PTB).

• [REVERTED] Victor no longer latches onto Survivors who are put into the Dying State.
  
• [REVERTED] Victor once again latches onto Survivors who are injured by his pounce.
  
• [REVERTED] Charlotte no longer gains Haste when Victor is latched onto a Survivor.

Dev note: We have received a lot of comments about The Twins’ strength during the PTB. We have made the decision to revert the changes to Victor’s pounce and keep the various quality of life improvements (faster switch between Charlotte and Victor, ability to recall Victor, and Add-On adjustments & base kit inclusion). We may revisit The Twins in a future update, if necessary, but these smaller tweaks... Read more

Kicking things off, we wanted to take a look back at The Hillbilly’s recent update and see how it has affected his strength and popularity. We’ve seen a substantial increase in both his use rate and kill rate across all MMRs.


This update skyrocketed The Hillbilly to the top of the list of most popular Killers. The Deathslinger also saw a noticeable bump after being featured in Tome challenges.


Have you ever thought about how many skill checks are hit or missed? It turns out that 70% of all skill checks are good, 23% are great, while 7% are missed entirely. Among high MMR players, this becomes 63% good, 33% great, and 4% ... Read more

Content New Killer - The Unknown Killer Power
Press the Power button to charge UVX. Once ready, press the Attack button to launch UVX, a bouncing Projectile which creates a Blast Area upon impact. Survivors become Hindered if touched by UVX while airborne. Survivors touching the Blast Area become Weakened. Weakened Survivors lose health states if touched by Blast Area. Survivors lose Weakened by successfully Staring Down The Unknown.

Whenever Survivors are touched by Blast Area or otherwise become Weakened, the next Hallucination's spawn time decreases by 10 seconds.

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
