BALANCE

Dead by Daylight version 1.18 has added the ability to unhook a survivor from all possible angles.

Generator regression % is increase to 100% from 25%

Generator breaking time reduced to 2 seconds from 3 seconds

Adjusted Global Skill Check Chances, we believe they were currently a little too high when no item/perk was being used and we would like to encourage choice through items/perks and add-ons. As one of the first steps towards a healthier balance, we will be changing the following Skill Check Chances. Heal Other Skill check Chance remains at 15%. Heal Other with Medkit Skill Check Chance remains at 15%. Heal Self with Medkit Skill Check Chance changed from 15% to 12.5% Heal Self without medkit Skill check Chance changed from 15% to 10.5% Repair with a toolkit Skill Check Chance has been changed from 8% to 10.5% Repair without a toolkit Skill Check Chance has not changed, it remains at 8%. Sabotage Hook with a toolkit Skill check Chance remains at 15%. Sabotage Hook without a toolkit Skill Check Chance changed from 15% to 10.5%

Dead by Daylight update 1.8.0 Increased the time it takes to increase Bloodlust levels from 12 to 15 seconds. It has been brought to our attention that Bloodlust is currently triggering every 12 seconds. This is an error as Bloodlust is intended to trigger every 15 seconds. It is unclear when this issue occurred, Bloodlust should be triggering every 15 seconds as this should give an opportunity for survivors to lose the killer before they reach their next Bloodlust level. Bloodlust is intended to be an option for killers to use and it is not intended to be the answer to all situations.

Increased wiggle penalty for dropping a survivor from 25% to 33%. The initial intent was to cause killers to drop survivors after dropping them 4 times in a row. Due to recovery rates killers had 5 drops before the survivor was freed. This change should cause survivors to be freed after being dropped 3 times in a row when dropped in quick succession

Dead by Daylight update 1.18 reduced “Good” healing skill check success reward from 1% to 0%. Good skillchecks are meant to continue progress as the skillcheck was not failed, Good skillchecks were not meant to advance progress.

Reduced the audio levels of The Wraiths growls while cloaked from the survivors standpoint

Removed some parts of the railing on the second floor of the Foundry in MacMillan Estate

Integrated additional analytics support
