Dead by Daylight Developer Update (June 2022)

BDS Developer Update Summary – June 2022

DBD Revised Progression System

Privileges will no longer be unlocked through the Blood Network of each Assassin or Survivor by selecting a trainee perk. Instead, the first prestige of a character instantly unlocks a level 1 version of its unique perks for all other Assassins/Survivors. Prestigeing the same character a second and third time unlocks the Level 2 and Level 3 versions of unique perks to use. In addition, higher level versions of perks will randomly appear in the Bloody Web after unlocking Level 1.

On that note, prestige The character’s prestige is also changed. Once a character receives prestige, he will no longer lose his perks, items, supplements or offers. Perk slots will remain unlocked after receiving prestige. With this change, gaining prestige is no longer optional when reaching level 50.

Prestige is still tied to cosmetics, and upon reaching prestige levels 4, 5 and 6 players will unlock bloody prestige cosmetics. Reaching prestige levels 7, 8, and 9 will give one of the character’s unique benefits as an amulet.

The Sanctuary of Secrets also undergoes a change. Buying a perk in the Temple of Secrets instantly unlocks a level 1 version for all relevant characters. A repeat purchase will raise the level.

Dark Devotion.: Dark Devotion will now activate every time Obsession loses health.

Survivor Perks Buffs

Calm Spirit: In addition to the current Calm Spirit effects, you can now open chests, clear and bless totems silently, though at a 40/35/30% reduced speed.
Saboteur: After several months of training, Saboteurs can now detect Beech Hooks. Their auras are displayed in yellow when a Survivor is on them. Use this information to your advantage to prevent the activation of Hook of Beech perks.
Knowledge of Botany.: Knowledge of botany now increases healing speed effectiveness by 30/40/50%, up from 11/22/33%.
Off the record.: When you are unhitched, you gain Stamina status effect for 60/70/80 seconds. The Stamina effect disappears when you perform a Notable action.
Fortunate Incident.: Each second spent treating another Survivor increases the duration of the Lucky Break by one second (total time cannot exceed the initial duration).
PharmacyNow Apothecary will activate every time you are wounded, guaranteeing you a first aid kit when you search your chest. This effect can be triggered several times in a single test.
The Only Survivor.: In addition to hiding your aura, Sole Survivor now increases generator repair speed by 75% and exit gate and hatch action speed by 50%. These effects only take effect when you are the last survivor.
Distortion: Gets 1 token for every 30 seconds spent within the assassin’s terror radius.
Easy: In addition to the existing effects of Easy, your scratch marks will be more sporadic, making you more difficult to track. Also, your scratch marks will disappear 5/4/3 seconds earlier than 3/2/1.
Déjà vu.: To help Survivors power the three nearby generators, Déjà Vu will now give a 5% bonus to the repair speed of detected generators.
No One Left Behind.: In addition to the current effects, No One Left Behind will give a 7% bonus to movement speed to all survivors you unhook. In addition, the perk is now activated when the gate is actuated instead of being opened.
Dark Sense.: Activating the generator activates “Dark Sense”. Next time Killer comes to you within 24m, his aura opens for 5/7/10 sec. Then “Dark Sense” is deactivated.
Fortitude: In addition to the current effects, Fortitude now reduces the pain sensation by 75% when you are in a near-death state.
Hope: Hope is useful for those who like to make late game saves, but because of its limited duration it can end at an inconvenient time. Since this perk is only useful at the end of a match, its duration has been removed completely.
Overzealousness.: In its current state, clearing a totem gives a 6%/7%/8% bonus to repair speed. This bonus is now doubled if you clear a totem hex.
We will live forever.: Like Barbecue and Chili, this perk gives a huge bonus of blood points. Behaviour doesn’t want blood points to dictate which perks to use, so they removed the bonus blood points from We’re Gonna Live Forever.
