Dead By Daylight update 2.75 patch notes
- New Killer: The Skull Merchant
- Perks:
- Game Afoot: While you are chasing the Obsession, this perk activates. Damaging Generators and destroying Breakable Walls and Pallets gives you a 5% Haste Status for 8/9/10 seconds. Whenever you hit the Survivor with the total most time in a chase with a Basic Attack, they become the Obsession. The Killer can only be Obsessed with one Survivor at a time.
- THWACK!: After hooking a Survivor, this perk activates. The next Breakable Wall or Pallet you break will make Survivors within 28/30/32 meters scream and reveal their aura for 4 seconds. (Changed from PTB: removed activation timer and distance is now a tiered value)
- Leverage: Each time you hook a Survivor, gain 1 token, up to 10. When you Hook a Survivor, this perk activates for 30 seconds. For each token, reduces the speed at which Survivors heal by 3/4/5%.
- New Survivor: Thalita Lyra
- Perks:
- Cut Loose: After performing a rushed vault in a chase, this Perk activates. While active, your rushed vaults are silent for up to 4/5/6 seconds, and successfully performing a rushed vault during that time resets the timer. This perk goes on cool-down for 45 seconds.
- Friendly Competition: Whenever you finish Repairing a Generator with at least one other Survivor, this Perk activates. You and other Survivors who finished Repairing the Generator with you get a 5% increased Repair progress speed for 45/60/75 seconds. Survivors can only have one instance of this Perk's ability active at once.
- Teamwork: Power of Two: Whenever you finish healing another Survivor, you both move 5% faster as long as you stay within 12 meters of the Survivor you healed or until one of you loses a Health State. Teamwork: Power of Two can only trigger once every 180/160/140 seconds. Survivors can only be affected by one Teamwork: Power of Two effects at a time.
- New Survivor: Renato Lyra
- Perks:
- Background Player: When the Killer picks up another Survivor, Background Player activates for 10 seconds. When you start running, you break into a sprint at 150% of your normal Running Movement speed for 4 seconds and become exhausted. This perk cannot be used while exhausted. This perk causes exhaustion for 60/50/40 seconds. (Changed from PTB; now activates on pickup for 10 seconds, triggers on starting to run, increases move speed for 4 seconds)
- Blood Rush: This Perk activates once you are one Hook away from instant death. While healthy, running, and suffering from Exhaustion, press the Active Ability Button 1 to lose a Health State and recover from Exhaustion instantly and gain the Broken status effect for 28/24/20 seconds. You are automatically healed from injured to healthy after 28/24/20 seconds. Being put into the Dying State will cancel the healing effect. Activating Blood Rush will disable it for the remainder of the trial. Exhaustion prevents Survivors from activating other Perks that cause Exhaustion. Broken prevents Survivors from being healed.
- Teamwork: Collective Stealth: Whenever another Survivor finishes healing you, you both leave no scratch marks as long as you stay within 12 meters of the Survivor who healed you or until one of you loses a health state. Teamwork: Collective Stealth can only trigger once every 180/160/140 seconds. Survivors can only be affected by one Teamwork: Collective Stealth effect at a time.
- Map Changes: Shelter Woods
- A makeshift command center was erected here, its rigid walls and sharp angles standing in stark contrast to the twisted wood and soil. For those who chance upon this crude structure, the realization that this complex belongs to an apex hunter—a hunter whose prey is human—usually comes too late.
- Visual Update: Red Forest
- We’ve taken a lengthy visit to the Red Forest Realm, which includes the Maps Temple of Purgation and Mother’s Dwelling. How about a nice, long walk in the woods?
- Quality of Life
- Map Repeat Prevention
- This update improves the Map selection process. Now, the possibility that players in a Trial will see the same Map as their previous Trial has been reduced to near zero. It’s also unlikely that they will be sent to a recently visited Map, though the likelihood will be a little higher than near zero. This will not impact the efficacy of Map Offerings, nor will it affect Custom Games.
- Perk Changes
- Any Means Necessary: Removed cooldown.
- Eruption: After kicking a Generator, its aura is highlighted in yellow. Whenever a Survivor enters the Dying State, every affected Generator explodes, losing 10% worth of progress and starts to regress. Any Survivor repairing a Generator when it explodes will scream and reveal their aura in 8/10/12 seconds. The eruption has a cooldown of 30 seconds. (Changed from PTB: now 10% of total progress, not current progress)
- Loading Timeout
- After analyzing the data on our side, we have established a set of expected loading times for each of the steps while loading into a Trial. As a result, if any player crashes or hangs while loading, we will now be able to return everyone to the Tally much earlier.
- Reporting Players
- We know that sometimes you may face unsportsmanlike behavior even before a match. We have now added the option to report a player from the online lobby.
- Miscellaneous Updates
- Triggered scream audio
- We have done a consistency pass on the following perks and add-ons which trigger audio feedback when the position of a Survivor is revealed:
- Deathbound, Dragon's Grip, Eruption, Hex: Face the Darkness, Infectious Fright, Iron Maiden, Make Your Choice, Iridescent Family Crest, Incensed Ointment, Healing Poultice, Greasy Black Lens.
- When a Survivor screams to reveal their location, the scream will be a 3d scream (instead of a 2d/map-wide scream), with a 19m max range, and a loud noise sfx is triggered.
- Bots in Custom Games
- Pre-game Improvements
- Bots are now assigned to specific slots when added to the Custom Match lobby.
- Players can now edit bots to make them use a selection of Perks, Offerings, Items, and Add-ons in Custom Games.
- Players can save up to 4 bot loadout presets to re-use them at a later time or to apply them to different bots in order to face bots with unique loadouts.
- Players can now manually select which Survivor should be used as a Bot.
- Dev Note: Not all options for loadout are currently supported by Bots. You may notice that some options of Perks, Items, Add-ons, or Offerings are missing; these exclusions are intentional.

Dead By Daylight Gameplay
Dead by Daylight is a popular survival horror game developed by Behaviour Interactive and published by Starbreeze Studios. The game was released in 2016 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and has since been ported to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
In Dead by Daylight, players take on the roles of survivors trying to escape a deadly killer, or the killer themselves hunting down the survivors. The game is set in a variety of locations, from an abandoned asylum to an old farm, and features a wide variety of playable characters with unique abilities and playstyles.
As a survivor, the goal is to evade the killer and repair generators scattered throughout the map, which will open the gates and allow the survivors to escape. Players must be stealthy and avoid making noise or risk attracting the killer's attention. Survivors can also work together to help each other and increase their chances of survival.
As the killer, the objective is to catch and sacrifice all the survivors before they can repair the generators and escape. Each killer has their own unique abilities and playstyle and must use a combination of stealth and brute force to eliminate the survivors.
Dead by Daylight has gained a large following due to its intense gameplay, unique characters, and frequent updates and events. The game has also expanded beyond the world of video games, with tie-in merchandise such as clothing, books, and even comic book series.
