After a brief period on the PTR, both the Legion and Jeff Johanson are now available in Dead by Daylight.
These two characters are available as part of the Chapter 10 DLC titled Darkness Among Us. This DLC brings the new survivor, killer and a new map. The map will be available to everyone but the killer and survivor will only be available to those who either purchase the DLC or use their shards.
Outside of the new content, there was a whole new list of changes that came to the game. Many bug fixes came with the new patch which you can read about in full below.
You might be interested to know Dead by Daylight will be receiving dedicated servers next year as part of an announcement during The Game Awards. We still have several months until they are set to arrive into the game but we do know they are on the way.
Here are the patch notes for Chapter 10: Darkness Among Us:
FEATURES & CONTENT
- Feature – Added a new status effect for Survivors: Deep Wound. Survivors afflicted with the Deep Wound status effect need to mend before being able to heal themselves, or be healed by others. Survivors can mend each other.
- Feature – Added the theme, map and tile information in the Pause menu. This feature is to better help our players and the Dev team when reporting map specific issues. Please be sure to include that information when reporting any map issues.
- Feature – Integrated an updated version of the Unreal Engine (4.20, from 4.13).
- Feature – Map Scheduler: Added a server configuration to allow control of map frequency during Online Ranked matches. This will allow us to add or remove emphasis on certain maps or themes during specific periods. Map selection offerings will still normally take precedence over these.
- Feature – Opening the Store from the offline lobbies will redirect the user to the currently selected character’s catalog page.
BALANCE
UI
- Added a progression bar and the name of the player Mending you, this should be the same as when being healed by another Survivor.
- Added the Aftercare perk icon in the HUD when affected by it from another player.
- Updated layout for the character information screen. Killer information screens now show basic stats (Max Base Speed, Base Terror Radius, and Height).
SURVIVOR PERKS
- Borrowed Time: Unhooked Survivors are now affected by the Deep Wound Status effect. Changed the Bleedout timer from 15/20/25 seconds to 10/15/20 seconds. VFX have been updated. Please see the dev message: “Deep Wound” for more details.
- Diversion: Scratch marks will now appear at the location of the loud noise from the pebble.
OTHER BALANCE CHANGES
- After hitting a Survivor who is affected by the Deep Wound status effect, the Killer no longer plays the blade wipe animation, and transitions directly into the fatigue state.
- Hiding inside of lockers now blocks the auras of Survivors while they are inside.
- Increased the brightness of auras.
- Made it possible for Survivors to cancel being healed by walking away. Prior to this change, survivors needed to run in order to cancel being healed.
- Mending progress is reset if there was partial progress and the player is hit with a Frenzy attack again.
- Reduced the Legion’s Frenzy vault distance.
- Reverted fast window vault interrupts.
- Snap Out Of It is no longer affected by the A Nurse’s Calling perk. Actions such as Snap Out Of It and Mending are not healing actions, thus perks should not affect them.
- Survivors who activate a map or key item while crouched now stay crouched.
- The Legion’s terror radius while in Frenzy increases from 24 meters to 32 meters.
- The bleedout timer from Deep Wound will continue while not in a chase. If the timer runs out during the Mend action, The Survivor will not go into dying state provided they continue the Mend action.
- When in a locker once the Bleedout timer has ended, Survivors will automatically exit the locker.
