Dead by Daylight Public Test Build servers recently received a new update, which brought some gameplay changes and bug fixes.
Gameplay Changes
In this update, generators will take longer to repair for a single survivor. The repair time now takes 90 seconds, previously 80, which gives Killers more time to hunt down those sneaky survivors. The effect of this change can be big, so expect it to be tested thoroughly.
New Term
The developers also added a new term called Conspicuous Actions and under it are actions like generator repair, healing, cleansing/blessing a totem, sabotaging a hook, unhooking survivor, and opening an exit gate. While there's no additional info yet, the term suggests that related actions may generate a lot of attention.
