A new patch for the Playable Test Build in Dead by Daylight is out now and it has some changes for various perks in the game along with a buff to the Spirit.
These changes are live on the PTB so those who aren’t playing on it or those who are on console will not be seeing these changes right now.
One of the major changes we will see with this PTB is some buffs to the Spirit. The Spirit is a killer with strong mind game potential and that ability will be getting even stronger in the PTB.
Here are the changes that were made to the Spirit:
- The Spirit’s phasing audio has been adjusted: Survivors within the Spirit Husk’s terror radius will not hear the phasing sound. Survivors outside the Spirit Husk’s terror radius can hear the Spirit’s phasing sound, but will not be able to determine its direction. Survivors will no longer be able to hear the Spirit’s breathing while she is phasing.
More changes were made to perks in the game such as buffs to many perks like No One Escapes Death and Empathy. Previously the maxed out NOED would be the only one that causes the Exposed effect but now it will apply to all three tiers of the perk.
