Dead by Daylight received a massive patch just now. Update 6.1.0, also known as Mid-Chapter Update, went live just a few hours ago. The patch brings new content, gameplay changes, and a plethora of balancing tweaks to both Killer and Survivor Perks. Players can also expect many changes to Progression and Shrine of Secrets. A ton of bugs are squashed as well.
The patch brings an addition to The Archives, "Tome 12: DISCORDANCE," which will begin on July 20 at 11 a.m. EST. McMillan Estate map received five new maze tiles for the pool. From now on, Conspicuous Actions will cancel the Endurance status effect. One survivor will now take 90 seconds to repair the generators instead of 80.
The patch nerfs Bloodlust triggers for several Tiers. Tier 2 trigger time is now 25 seconds, instead of 30, and Tier 3 time is 35 seconds, instead of 45.
