A new era of Dead by Daylight has begun. As a major gameplay overhaul is put in effect, thus changing the landscape of the game as fans know it. This comes after months of research by the Dead by Daylight Team about making the game as fair and balanced for all players, no matter their experience.
An Enhanced Player Experience
Listening to its community’s feedback, the Dead by Daylight team focused on three pillars to make the game a fairer, more thrilling play environment. First, they have reduced Progression time as well as increased Killer powers and Perk balancing.
A new Progression system has also been implemented reducing the time of character progression by an estimated 75 per cent and allowing for easier experimentation with different characters and builds.
Along with a new Progression System, data has shown that times were tough for Killers in Dead by Daylight. To ensure that the Killer feels like an unstoppable force to be reckoned with throughout a Trial, they have received several slight balance improvements.
“Our community is at the centre of everything we do”
Amongst others, they will be able to break Walls, Pallets, and damage Generators 10% faster. The cooldown for successful Basic Attacks has also been lowered by 10%, as has the duration of the speed boost Survivors receive after being hit. All this will support Killers in their efforts to scare Survivors throughout a Trial.
Finally, a major Perk overhaul has taken place which covers a total of 39 Perks- including the most-used Perks for both Killers and Survivors. Indeed, some Perks were seen very frequently in Trials, creating a somewhat static meta. As such, some of the most used Perks have been reworked to lessen their strength while several others from Dead by Daylight’s substantial Perk Pool have been strengthened, providing exciting new gameplay alternatives.
So get out there. There’s a lot more mayhem to unleash as both a Killer and a Survivor.
