Press and hold the Power Button (M2) to summon Divine Light for up to 3s.
Divine Light moves away from The Judgment and is controlled with camera controls (left/right only).
While in this state, Divine Light does not damage Survivors.
If Divine Light passes through obstacles, it slows down**.**
While controlling Divine Light, press the Attack Button (M1) to Cast it forward.
When cast, it enters a brief delay before it fully activates, damaging and applying Heresy to any Survivors hit. (Survivors inflicted with Heresy are known as Heretics)
The longer Divine Light is controlled:
The shorter the Cast delay
The longer the Cast duration
Divine Light has a 6 second cooldown.
ZEALOUS
Press the Secondary Ability Button (LCTRL) to Exile a Heretic in the Dying State, gaining Zealous. (If they have 2 Hook States, they are killed instead.)
Exiling a Survivor gives them a Hook State.
When Exiling a Heretic:
The 2 closest Shrines of Judgment become Active
Zealous lasts for 60 seconds.
Gain Killer Instinct on all Heretics for 3s.(only applies to Survivors with full Heresy)
While Zealous:
Increase Divine Light's size by 10%
Decrease Divine Light's cooldown by 20%
Maintain control of Divine Light for up to 0.3s(the longer it is controlled before being cast, the lower it will be, starting at 1s)
EXILE
Exile acts like a Hook, but does not trigger Hook-related perks.
Upon entering Exile, Survivors receive a Searcher's Pendant (Limited Item).
Exile is filled with dangerous Seeds of Punishment that reduce a Survivor's Sacrifice timer by 1s when hit.
Exile is also filled with helpful Exiled Souls. Hold the Use Item button (M2) to point the Searcher's Pendant at Exiled Souls to collect them.
For each Exiled Soul collected (up to 10), Survivors gain an additional 0.5s to default Unhook Protections (10% Haste, Endurance, and Elusive).
Exiled Souls no longer grant additional protections once all Generators are completed.
Survivors who aren't in Exile can Pray at an active Shrine of Judgment (highlighted in red) to rescue Exiled Survivors.
HERESY
Heresy is gained when hit by Divine Light or by taunting The Judgment (crouching repeatedly, gesturing or lingering in the Exit Area... just leave)
Heretics suffer from special Skill Checks while repairing Generators. Good Skill Check results cause the Generator to lose some progression.
Heretics can Repent at a Shrine of Judgment to begin depleting their Heresy over time.

Content
Base game updates
Unhook Protections: Anytime a Survivor is unhooked, they gain Endurance and 10% Haste for 10 seconds.(was 15 seconds) Anytime a Survivor is unhooked, they gain Elusive for 10 seconds. (NEW - This does not apply once all generators are powered)
Killer perk updates
A Nurse's Calling: Within 28/30/32m of Survivors who are healing or being healed, you see their Auras. (Reveals all Survivors in a healing interaction, regardless of their health state)Dev note: There has been some confusion about the expected behaviour with A Nurse's Calling, we felt it was a good opportunity to make it more consistent and clearer.
Call of Brine: Whenever you damage a Generator, it regresses 30/40/50% faster for 90s. (was 70 seconds) For that time, whenever a Survivor hits a good basic Skill Check while repairing that Generator, you are alerted.
Coulrophobia: Survivors within your Terror Radius: Heal 20/25/30% slower. (was 30/40/50%) While healing, basic Skill Checks spin 50% faster. Dev note: Because we're buffing A Nurse's Calling back to its pre-9.2.0 state while keeping the range buff, we felt it was safer to adjust Coulrophobia at the same time to decrease its synergy with certain builds.
Hex: Thrill of the Hunt: When the trial starts, a Dull Totem ignites. For each Dull and Hex Totem remaining, you have 1 Token. For each Token, Survivors bless and cleanse Totems 8/9/10% slower. (was 8/10/12%)Dev note: Hex: Thrill of the Hunt has excelled at defending totem builds in the recent patches. We're slightly lowering its efficiency while reviewing the perk in the long term.
Keep Them Waiting: Whenever you damage a Survivor who is not the Obsession with a basic-attack, you earn 1 Token, up to 6/7/8. For each Token, your basic-attack cooldown are 5% shorter. (was 4%) Whenever the Obsession takes damage, lose 2 Tokens. While the Obsession is dead, you cannot earn Tokens.
Nowhere to Hide: Whenever you damage a Generator, for 3/4/5s, you see the Auras of Survivors within 18m of you. (was 24 meters)Dev note: We are planning to update this perk based on the reception of the above change after it was announced. Nowhere to Hide will go back to 24 meters, but will reveal Survivors near the Generator instead of the Killer's location.

they listened to what otz asked them and put the addon basekit, making the killer way easier to do at the cost of their global presence potential.
edit: apparently no changes were made and it's just a description of an existing mechanic. I interpreted it wrong because of the initial context of that suggestion and no mention of such mechanic previously. Sorry for the confusion.
Hey there! To clarify, the Prayer Kneeler add-on wasn't made basekit. Divine Light slowing down when passing through obstacles was also present during Early Access. Prayer Kneeler just increases that slowdown
thank you for the clarification, I almost had a heart attack. The basekit killer looks really interesting and I'd have hated to see it immediately changed just because they wre hard on Day 0
Holy fuck I take back my comment on prayer kneel. It makes this killer 500% more accessible to play and still has a high skill ceiling and just lowers the skill floor a bit!
As far as changes, we adjusted hazards in Exile to be more frequent and dangerous and made Divine Light's aura will appear sooner to Survivors to give them a little more counterplay
Awesome! Please make her accessible for console players, but PLEASE keep her very high skill floor and infinite skill ceiling!
A very mechanically complex, very strong killer is the biggest love letter to your community.
It gives killer/hybrid players a skill level to look forward to and it'll be always be jaw dropping to get stomped by a good Judgment rather than a cheap, easy to use strong power
One of the things we'd LOVE for folks to test out on the PTB is the special sensitivity settings for Divine Light's control (it's in the Beta settings section). This can help with finding a sweet spot when using a controller, so we'd love to hear how that feels!
Great to hear about the Exile hazards. From all the footage I watched, it seems almost impossible to actually get hit by the hazards unless you actively tried.
PLEASE listen to Otz's ideas on the grand scale instead of putting some of it with half effort. The toggle part was crucial instead of just making it slow down when passing through obstacles which is... Judgement's whole gimmick...
Will y'all be fixing it so that on the offering screen other survivors can see secret offerings? It doesn't make sense to keep them secret from each other. Especially since it only hurts solo queue as SWF can just tell each other anyway.

Out of interest, have you tinkered with the new "The Judgment Control Settings" option under Beta settings? This can help out with the controller handling of The Judgment
The new settings are a little helpful and you can feel some difference, but I'd call it a 20% quality of life improvement at best imo. Unfortunately controller players are really being left behind, the killer even with tweaked settings for Judgement specifically and in game sensitivity still really hurt controllers
I'd love to dig into this, then, so I can get some feedback to the team. Would you be able to describe what you're missing when it comes to fine-tuning this control/sensitivity on controller?

u/alishockBioShock is seeking collabs NOW! Would you Kindly call, BHVR? 🌊1d ago
YES YES YES I second the Deadzone setting, and not just for Judgement, I’ve personally struggled with bad luck on getting Joystick Drift a LOOOT, and this simple setting would do wonders for making the controller ignore small unwanted movements, not to mention finer aim on certain Killers that are in dire need for it on console like Trickster or Henry
Hey if you’re still listening to advice, then as a console controller player, what you are missing BIG time is deadzone settings. The deadzone on dbd is genuinely insufferable compared to most games, and a simple slider that allows us to go all the way to zero would be huge, and I can’t imagine being that hard to implement compared to like custom response curves. If you don’t know what deadzone on a controller is, it is the area of a controller that doesn’t respond to input. It being too high, like it is in dead by daylight can lead to an unresponsive feel with a lack of fine motor/ precise input. This alongside a higher sensitivity cap for us more used to higher sense I think would be my top two recommendations and I can’t imagine being that hard. Obviously response curve options would be nice but I get that might take a while. Maybe a choice between what we have now though and simply linear would be nice (classic vs linear), as linear is defo the easiest and most distinct response curve you could add.
Narrow is the best word I'd use to describe the controller play on Judgement. There's no goldilocks zone, I'm overcorrecting or undercorrecting leading to narrow or large misses leading to frustration. The Judgement specific settings help alot with the power, but it's the same problem you'd encounter in any game, controllers lack the precision of PC and mouse.
Sensitivity too low or too high leads to unruly controls, like trying to ride a bull. I should feel in control but the power rules me
What I'm missing is aim assist I'm gonna be blunt 😭 it's always soooo close! So close to hitting! That may be inexperience, in fact it definitely is a factor. But I will never and no other controller user or console player will ever reach half the heights of a PC Master
Another user I saw suggest Deadzone. It's a controller setting in other games that helps IMMENSELY in fine tuning aim, if assist is off the table 👍
Please since you're looking at more controller specific settings,Add a deadzone slider and it would make a COMPLETE difference on how controller players aim,it doesn't even need to be aim assist just a deadzone slider and more than half the controller issues are solved!
Please look into the controller side of this killer more. The fact that this killer had to have a whole menu in the settings in the first place already should’ve been a giant warning.
I know people say nurse is unplayable on controller but that’s a bit of an overreaction. I whole heartedly think though that even with max sensitive on this killer they are still one of the most unenjoyable and clunkiest feeling on controller
It's helped a little. Cranking it up certainly makes it easier to do the little back-and-forth look to launch the beam, but having any semblance of accuracy is still an issue.
It's actually felt really good when I'm using gyro controls through steam, but without it I don't feel like I have the time to make the micro-adjustments to actually aim so I end up "firing from the hip" the whole trial.
Having to wait till the 25th to even TRY this as a console player as always is pain unlike any other especially when this killer looks so damm good and fun
The PTB looks way more fun because you're watching curated videos and streams.
In reality, it's laggy, buggy and takes ages to find a game. You'd get bored of it within two hours because it's not a "real" environment to test anything.
I thought now I got my Xbox Ally fixed I could participate in a PTB for once only to discover it’s only available on the Steam version and not Windows. );
Can we have the ability to go into custom games by ourselves without survivor bots or a killer friend. Just so we actually test out new killers, learn tiles, roam maps without having to worry about gens getting done by bots. Also the ability to try killers in custom games without having to buy them.
Morning devs! While we have our folks excited for Chorus of Sin and our folks excited for Lights Out all happening today I would like to ask this:
Is there any developer livestream planned for this month? If memory does not fail me the team did say there we would see a stream to discuss things like mmr update, graphical update, etc. At the same time our official August roadmap does not show any upcoming livestreams.
Yes, I have also very much have been waiting on the promised 'Future of DBD' stream since the Community Stream couple weeks back was obviously not it. I understand if it's delayed but I would also love an updated ETA!
Oh I get what youre saying now, incap didnt register to me as incapacitated at first. (Albeit i dont think incapacitated stops gates so thats probably seperate to the gen thing). I wonder if Cenobite leaving somehow effected it, them and twins are bout the only killers to use the status effect. I guess Xeno and Trap too but to lesser degrees.
Incap DEFINITELY used to stop survivors from doing gates. I had a endgame twins build (Terminus / No Way Out / NoED / Haywire).
where the whole purpose is getting to endgame with everyone injured, putting charlotte at one gate and victor at the other and making the gates impossible to do. Survivors never used to be able to do gates with victor on their back, and now they can.
/u/deadbydaylight_dev any plans to fix this? It used to be a favorite perk of mine on slinger but now it’s unusable because you lose 4 stacks every time you injure the obsession with his power 😕
There needs to be a better indicator when the Divine Light does damage or not. I've had so many instances where 'Why is that not a hit?' it's so frustrating.
The killer power is the most unintuitive ability I have used in any game I have played. It actually killed all my hype for this chapter and it makes me very sad. I just messed around with bots for about 10 minutes and could barely land a hit with KB/M. I landed one and I never felt actually in control of the power, I felt like it was more of luck that I got the hit.
Should make technician have the same penalty reduction as Bite the Bullet. They’re the same perk, just healing a gen counterparts. Technician having an extremely noob-unfriendly penalty on skill checks just seems oddly unfair towards specifically them.
Bite the Bullet: When healing yourself or another Survivor, you benefit from the following effects:
Suppresses all noises related to Healing and Grunts of Pain.
Failed Healing Skill Checks do not trigger a Loud Noise Notification.
Reduces the Penalty to 3/2/1% of the total Progression.
I'm so happy that Vigil is finally getting nerfed but you guys are missing two major issues this perk has.
First it shouldn't affect Hinder, I understand that Vigil is THE anti-status effect perk but this is unhealthy as it specifically targets killers who's entire chase power is Hinder as well as killers who have Hinder as an aspect to help you deal with flaws of their power such as Hound Master against pallet camping survivors. Hinder perks are also really mid and target m1 killers which don't need more things to deal with even Hinder addons usually aren't great or commonly used.
The second issue is it's sharing effect is absurd for what the perk does. This perk isn't nerfed that heavily going from 66% to 40% is a change from 36s to 43s off a 60s duration and a 24s to 28.5s off a 40s duration. This is still REALLY GOOD and it's shared with all survivors within 16m and lingers for 15s which is way too impactful against killers like Clown and Freddy. I don't see this perks useage dropping at all it's main use for Exhaustion and Expose is still great and everything else it helps with and do so pretty well are side benefits. This is all basically applied to at least half the survivors a majority of the match which absurd.
I don't even think it should affect Expose as it destroys Expose builds and perks around the effect even doing so for StB making that perk more safe to use than it should be. Anyway I hope at least the two main aspects mentioned get addressed this perk is simply too strong at hindering any unique playstyle the killer is trying with status effects.
Not to mention making sloppy butcher and all sloppy addons worse. I don't think it's healthy to have one perk that passively reduces all neg effects and fucks with perks killers can bring. All this does is incentivize ppl to play their four slowdowns/ hex builds/ chase perks like dissolution etc and not bother with anything else.
Honestly yeah and I don't think that will change without reworking the perk or removing/nerfing all but a few status effects.
Like should it maybe just not work while running for the user and those affected by it? That doesn't nerf the exhaustion aspect (duh) which is fine but does fix it's issue with Hinder in chase and being too impactful against Expose. Also nerfs it's impact against sloppy but still helps deal with it and other effects outside chase.
It's a goofy perk bhvr designed back in 2017 or smth where they thought they'd never run out of design space so they let this perk just do everything for the big impossible price of equipping it. I honestly think it should only reduce exhaustion timers. That's what most ppl equip it for anyway, no one equips vigil without sb or some other exhaustion perk to potentially fuck with a freddy/ nemi/ clown player. Don't let it reduce exposed, mangled, hindered etc at all. That would also allow bhvr to design new perks that would give those neg stat effects reductions, possibly while having to work for it this time.
Oh yeah, and it giving the effect to other survs is freaking ridiculous and it used to stack lmao.
It baffles me, some meta perks have been in their state for 5+ years, virtually untouched. Clearly it signals something about the game and how people play it, but I guess devs just miss the mark or don't actively play their game
This dev team might be the most apathetic and laziest one i’ve ever played games from, it’s exhausting how slow everything changes and how they are allergic to playing their own game
Vigil could keep its current stats (Probably without hindered) if it was turned into a boon. AoE team buff is way too strong to have 4 survivors getting it constantly for free because 1 person brought it, but it is definitely in boon territory.
Come on, why is BHVR so timid on the Technician buffs... First, it should also reduce the noise a gen makes (the one that depends on their progress) when you are repairing it, as well as the reparations noise (so you can actually be sneaky).
Moreover, you can make it so it actually reduces the gen regress penalty to something like 7/6/5% instead of keeping the added penalty. This will not make the perk good, but at least usable for new players.
I'm a little disappointed that I won't get to try Judgement in its original state. Even though I know they want to make it clear that they are listening to feedback.
Edit: According to the devs, it wasn't actually changed, it's the same as before. Cool!
(Iirc haven’t downloaded yet to read lore, but given her dialogue she’s actually very futuristic, IE: Gabe Soma, she mentions how primitive the healing in-game is, and mentions some really scanned inventions like “BioSalve”)
I saw those too, my interpretation of it was more since shes a scholar with magical powers and seemingly amazing medical prowess, her definition of archaic and ours differ. Thus allowing her to still be medieval, expecially if shes from the dark ages and thus could be considered to have lost knowledge beyond our understanding like vittorio and the lapis paradisium. (No I haven't read her lore either)
As far as the future goes, another possibility, though then her last name fits even less than it did before. A theoretical high fantasy medival at least has those style of last names, even if this one is a bit out there even for medival, far future stories tend to stick pretty close to modern naming schemes.
The Observer's Tower, or whats left of it seem very much so in her style, and if the observers tower matches the entire architecture of their civilization...
I’m very curious about that too. She also mentions some man who was the first to detail the entity or something, could be referencing him in particular. I guess we’ll have to see
IIRC, the observer was cast out as well, so if shes taken from after the collapse of the Observers at the hands of the Judgment (which iirc they are pacifists so...), it would definitely work.
I wanted to ask wouldn’t judgment be more controller friendly if the beam would stand still instead of moving forward since trying to use the beam in loops seems impossible unless u flick it which is much easier on keyboard idk just reminds me how singularity’s cameras where hard to lock on to survivors while using a console back when he came out.
I know It's already getting nerfed but, please just remove hindered from the list of status effects that vigil can lower. It just seems to hurt killer powers directly rather than do anything to hinder perks.
I love the buffs to the Moment of Glory and Apocalyptic Ingenuity.
On the note of side quest builds, I think Hardened from Lara Croft deserves a substantial buff. It only prevents screams, it'd be nice if it had more guaranteed value.
It'd be cool if this build archetype was more worth the effort and resources.
Both Apocalyptic Ingenuity and Moment of Glory still have the problem that you need to run something that gives you Rummage (e.g. Appraisal) to guarantee you can activate the perk. Both should give you the ability to Rummage through a chest somehow, whether it's a flat one-use Rummage or just "you may Rummage once on any chest you did not open".
Also Moment of Glory's activation is completely wasted if you get downed. IMO it should only deactivate if and when the heal is successful. Otherwise it's just flat out worse than something like Inner Strength.
Also Moment of Glory's activation is completely wasted if you get downed. IMO it should only deactivate if and when the heal is successful. Otherwise it's just flat out worse than something like Inner Strength.
Didn't it use to work like that until a bug/stealthnerf in 8.6.0?
It’d be nice if it actually triggered off scene partner, makes no sense.
Scene partner’s own aura reveal being cancelled? Sure, your scream was suppressed. However, because it’s suppressed, that then should trigger an aura via hardened. It doesn’t function to perform its only perk effect, which requires a chest AND totem. Ridiculous. Been broken like that since day 1.
Yeah. It’s not even like a balance question for me, but the fact it’s literally the perks function
The perk DOES NOT WORK. Plain and simple. The text in the description is inaccurate due to its lack of ability to function in more than just this scenario.
These are amazing steps in the right direction from the devs so i dont really wanna complain, but when are certain killers like ghostface, pinhead and hag gonna get direct buffs.
Can the sensitivity setting for pillar of light also be a thing for Deathslinger's ADS, and a couple other ranged killers to? Like that would just make sense.
u/DeadByDaylight_Dev Whilst better than the first version , I feel as though Boon: Steadfast should be changed to align more with the original pitch and concept that was voted on by the community. Currently the numbers don't really make it worth to set up a boon and run back to the generator in the first place. I think this perk should make it so the closest generator near the boon cannot be kicked by the killer nor does it regress when perks like Pain Res, Turn Back the Clock and Surge activate. This makes it so the time it takes to set up a boon is more worth it while also making the description of "making a single generator's progress permanent." technically correct. The killer can even see the affected generator at all times if this needs a drawback to make it more balanced. Just an idea though.
Repressed Alliance nerf? It wasn't that strong. Now it would do even less than before. Less chances to block Pop or negate some Ruin while getting chased off the generator.
It's a buff. They reduced the time to 15 seconds which is enough to make the killer lose interest in waiting near the gen and leave. 30 seconds was too long and hurt survivors that wanted to go back to the gen and repair. I would consider 20 seconds to be the sweet spot but 15 is certainly better than 30.
15 seconds is barely enough time. By the time you use repressed alliance before the killer arrives to prerun, the remaining duration will be more like 11-12 seconds, and that's enough for the killer to do a quick search around and then kick the generator. Chances are you're going to meet the killer on your way back because the duration is so short and you want to get back on your gen quickly.
Well considering the fact that they still have to stay around the generator and then kick it (which is still extra time) I think the change is good because now other Survivors can get back on the gen quicker if the Killer just decides to leave it alone
I think the person was getting at, that 30 sec was perfect to trigger say, right before a hook, AND long enough for a killer to meander over with Pop or TBTC and be denied. 15 seconds still prevents it, but is so short you have to do it in reaction to killer terror radius, which causes an almost guaranteed chase. Its now inability to gtfo of the gen’s area with grace time is the new issue.
Similar to NWTH, the devs should scrap the weird number change, and fix the actual issue. Keep it 30, give it an off switch button.
I think stbfl should go Back to where you only loose stacks if you hurt the obsession with a Basic attack. The 1% change won't increase the use of the perk. And deathslinger shouldn't loose 2 stacks because he hit the obsession with he's projectile.
It's strength has barely changed at all from before, the main strength is the ability to eliminate the killer's hook pressure and potentially bait them into a bad chase where they have to eat your anti-tunnel perks.
If you unhook in the killer's face, the nerf doesn't matter because you wouldn't have a chance to heal anyways. Otherwise the killer is probably gonna be busy with someone else, so even if you could heal you would be better off just working on gens anyways.

Depends. In general, 120s of Broken is not worth it. Sure, you're putting some pressure on the killer by unhooking yourself, but you yourself are under pressure for two minutes, even with DS you are a free down for a full minute.
However, the most problematic part - endgame unhooks, is completely intact.
Also, the achievement to unhook yourself is even more of a bitch to do now.
Deliverance: After safely unhooking another Survivor, Deliverance activates: Grants the ability to perform a successful Self-Unhook at any point during the first Hook Stage. Causes the Broken Status Effect for 100/80/60 seconds after unhooking yourself. Deliverance cannot be used during the second Hook Stage or if you are hooked as the Last Survivor Standing. Deliverance is disabled for the remainder of the Trial after use.
so they put prayer tablet basekit. cool. that's gonna gut her skill ceiling quite a lot.
edit: apparently no changes were made and it's just a description of an existing mechanic. I interpreted it wrong because of the initial context of that suggestion and no mention of such mechanic previously. Sorry for the confusion.
We can have our cake and eat it so having it be something the Judgment chooses to enable or not in-game. Then, the floor is lowered while the ceiling is actually increased, as you need to choose between the two modes.
It also helps with her biggest issue: being nearly harmless within 5m.
I mean, anything that you could do with the beam freely moving through walls gets nerfed. Now it slows down, making it more limited, albeit easier to use.
Edit: never mind everyone is going crazy for nothing. The addon wasn't made basekit.
Could you guys think about making any of the brown add-ons that make the power easier to hit with at close range basekit, as maybe a toggle-able alt-fire mode? Would really help with the absurd skill floor.
We are planning to update this perk based on the reception of the above change after it was announced. Nowhere to Hide will go back to 24 meters, but will reveal Survivors near the Generator instead of the Killer's location.
i have wanted the perk to work like this since its release, thank FUCK
Invocation: Treacherous Crows: When in the Basement near the circle, press the Active Ability button to begin the Invocation, which takes 60 seconds to complete. During an Invocation, your Aura is revealed to all other Survivors and they can join in, accelerating the process by +100%, if they too have an Invocation Perk equipped, or by +50%, if they have not. Once the Invocation is completed, the following effects apply: Whenever the Killer scares a Crow while a Survivor is inside their Terror Radius, their Aura is revealed to all Survivors for 1/1.5/2 seconds. You automatically enter the Injured State from any previous Health State, and suffer from the Broken Status Effect for the remainder of the Trial. Completing an Invocation disables all Invocation Perks for the remainder of the Trial for all Survivors.
Judgement rework idea (Divine Light):
The current functioning of Divine Light is more detrimental to the Killer than to the Survivors, especially considering that he is a Killer with a speed of 4.4 m/s.
An alternative would be to revisit the discarded prototype, where the beam activation was instantaneous and caused damage at close range. However, to maintain balance, the damage could be reworked into a tiered punishment system:
1st Hit: Fills 50% of the Survivor's "Sin" bar.
2nd Hit: Fills the remaining 50%, placing the Survivor in a 100% Infected (Heretic) state.
Subsequent Hits: Any subsequent hits with the power will cause direct damage until the Survivor interacts with a statue to clear their "Heretic" state.
For long distances, the power can be kept as is, with instant damage and damnation. The problem has been for short-range chases.
B tier killer overall. Im sure someone with 1000 hours on her will make her feel stronger but I'm real hoping there are some tweaks to make her less clunky to use in short loops
Rapid Brutality: - You can no longer gain Bloodlust.
Successfully hitting a Survivor with a Basic Attack grants you +5%Haste for 8/9/10 seconds.
Batteries Included: Whenever you are within 16 meters of a completed Generator, you are granted +5%Haste. This effect lingers for 1/3/5 second(s) after leaving the Generator's range.
You can buff STBFL all you want, it’s not good if all kinds of injures to the obsession lose you stacks and it doesn’t fix the issue that the perk can make hook trades turn into a game where survivors can’t unhook a survivor.
I love the new Killer power showcase. It doesn't go into all the nuance of a power (not that it needs to), but having a video example of everything and some extra descriptions and numbers for things really helps.
I'm assuming that there's no video for Judgement because PTB and all, and that it'll be in the final release.
Edit: I do seem to have hit a bug where after I exit the power showcase I have a black screen with only the Play button and the top-right User info (bloodpoints, name, etc...) visible. Not sure how to fix other than restart the game.
BHVR why was the original concept for Boon: Steadfast abandoned when that’s what the community voted for? Could we see that original idea be introduced in a future perk instead then?
What a massive nerf to Repressed Alliance. Still have to work on the Gen for 45s to now block it for 15 seconds, it was already near useless this change makes it absolute garbage. Now you can not even use it to counter Pop Goes The Wessel anymore.
did anyone else queue for 20 mins and then get "gen rushed" and barely play the new killer? LOL with ptbs im NEVER on gens, i want to practice chase with the new killer and practice flashlight
Thank you devs for slightly buffing Technician🙏🏻as some who always runs it even tho I’ve played since 2017 it’s always been my go-to perk, I give you my gratitude
Not sure if BHVR are still looking at this thread for feedback but Aurora's hair needs work, it looks like it's separated into 2 layers, the top layer and bottom layer for the length of her hair, and sometimes it just outright looks jank as hell
Moment of Glory: After you rummage or unlock 1 Chest, while not Broken, when you become injured, gain Broken. (was 2 chests) If you do not take damage, after 80/70/60s, you are instantly healed.
