What makes Dead By Daylight iconic is the number of popular villains and characters we get to play. Below are the Dead by Daylight patch notes for the latest bugfix patch to help you get up to date with everything happening in the game.
Dead by Daylight Patch Notes 7.7.0 - April 23, 2024
One of the most notable updates of the DBD 7.7.0 patch is that the game engine has switched to Unreal Engine 5, which explains the big download file. The store has also finally gotten a rework in this update, along with a bunch of adjustment to two Killers, the Twins and the Blight, several perks and even a map, Haddonfield.
Features
Game Engine Update
Game engine was updated to Unreal Engine 5. This update will have no effect on gameplay or in-game graphics and serves as a foundation for possible future improvements.
Due to the engine update, overall game file size has been reduced by ~18Gb on Xbox Series S|X and PlayStation 5.
New Store
New Store available, replacing the previous one
Featured Page: Latest releases and Chapters, and the addition of the Weekly Gift feature.
Weekly Gift: Allows players to claim free rewards during multiple weeks, if activated. Rewards are renewed per week, meaning that unclaimed ones are discarded when the week is reset.
Specials Page: A dedicated page to show all special offers currently available in the game.
Collections Page: Houses all Collections that exist in the game, and shows their content. Players can also unlock Cosmetics directly from there!
Bundles Page: Showcases special bundles available for unlocking, Chapter bundles (previously known as DLC Chapters), and the new DLC Packs. Bundles can be opened to review their content before unlocking them, although not yet in the case of DLC Packs.
Killer and Survivor dedicated Wardrobes: New separated independent pages for Killers and Survivors that allow for quick Mix and Matching of Characters and their Cosmetics.
Mix and Matching specifics
Players can now select Characters and Cosmetics without having to equip them immediately.
Clicking on an option allows players to preview the Character or Cosmetic.
Selecting the Character or equipping the Cosmetic confirms their choice.
Being able to preview allows players to preview pieces from different locked and unlocked Cosmetics, mix and matching options to be able to "try them out" before unlocking them.
Players can now filter their Cosmetics with different options, and are able to show all options that are currently unavailable!
Previewing Perks, Powers and Moris
Players now can open a little section that displays the Power and Perks of any Character that is currently selected, allowing for a smoother way to review and compare their Characters' gameplay.
Players can now preview every Killer's Mori, including with the Mix and Match Outfits! This way players can check out how their Cosmetic choices are going to look during the Mori!
Visceral Outfits are going to show their own version of their Character's Mori.
Bio pages for Characters
These were made a part of the Characters' Wardrobes.
They showcase the Characters' lore, height, speed and Terror Radius size. Power and Perks were moved to the Power and Perks window.
Common
Unlocking is now done with a press and hold mechanic to allow for a confirmation process free of pop ups.
The section for getting more Auric Cells can now be accessed through the Store, and it can also be accessed by clicking the Auric Cells counter on the top right corner of the screen.
Kill switched options are going to be available for unlocking, yet we are making sure to communicate it with a pop up for players to confirm they still want to proceed.
Search bars have been included in most sections to allow finding Characters, Collections, and Cosmetics easier.
Added a celebration pop up to better communicate that players have unlocked content or earned a reward at the Store.
Shrine of Secrets
The Shrine was taken out of the Store and placed in the Characters' lobbies, to be closer to the loadout and Bloodweb.
The layout was updated to be easier to read and use, providing key information without the need to hover on any Perk option.
Match's Details Menu
The Match Details Menu now allow players to review Perks.
During a match, when opening the Match Details window (Escape on computers), players can see their equipped Perks.
Hovering on Perks and Offerings allow players to see the tooltips and read their description.

New Killer - The Unknown
Killer Power
Press the Power button to charge UVX. Once ready, press the Attack button to launch UVX, a bouncing Projectile which creates a Blast Area upon impact. Survivors become Hindered if touched by UVX while airborne. Survivors touching the Blast Area become Weakened. Weakened Survivors lose health states if touched by Blast Area. Survivors lose Weakened by successfully Staring Down The Unknown.
Special Ability: Hallucinations
The Unknown will intermittently creates up to 4 Hallucinations. Hallucinations cannot be created while charging UVX, performing interactions, or in proximity to map objects like Hooks. Whenever Survivors are touched by Blast Area or otherwise become Weakened, the next Hallucination's spawn time decreases by 10 seconds.
Special Ability: Teleport
The Unknown can teleport to Hallucinations, leaving behind a temporary Decoy. Survivors can remove Hallucinations from the Trial with the Dispel ability. Weakened Survivors take longer to Dispel. If Dispel is not completed, Survivors become Weakened and trigger Killer Instinct.
Perks
Unbound
This perk activates for 24/27/30 seconds after a Survivor becomes injured by any means.
After vaulting a window, you gain 5% Haste for 10 seconds. This effect cannot stack with itself.
Unforeseen
When you perform the Break action on a Generator, your Terror Radius transfers to the Generator for 22/26/30 seconds and its radius is set to 32/32/32 meters.
You gain Undetectable for that duration.
Then, this Perk goes on cooldown for 30/30/30 seconds.
Undone
When a Survivor misses a healing or repair Skill Check, gain 3 Tokens, up to a maximum of 18/24/30 Tokens.
When you perform the Break action on a Generator, if you have any Tokens, consume all of them. For each Token consumed, the Generator loses 1% total progress and then becomes blocked for 1 second.
Then, once the Generator is unblocked, it starts regressing.
This Perk goes on cooldown for 60 seconds.
New Survivor - Sable Ward
Perks
Invocation: Weaving Spiders
When in the Basement near the circle, press the ability button 1 to begin the Invocation.
Invocations take 120 seconds. Other Survivors will see your aura during this and can join an ongoing interaction, increasing speed by 50% each. If they have an Invocation Perk equipped, they increase it by 100% instead.
Once the Invocation is completed:
You become injured and Broken for the rest of the Trial.
Reduce the max required Generator progress of all remaining Generators by 8/9/10 charges (same effect as "Brand New Part").
Completing the Invocation disables that Perk for all Survivors.
Strength in Shadows
When in the basement, this Perk activates.
Unlocks the Strength in Shadows ability, which allows you to heal without a med-kit at 70/70/70% normal healing speed.
When you finish a heal in the basement, you see the Killer's aura for 6/8/10 seconds.
Wicked
Your self-unhook attempts in the basement always succeed.
When you are unhooked or unhook yourself, you see the Killer's aura for 16/18/20 seconds.
New Map - Greenville Square
A new section of the Withered Isle has opened up to the players. The Greenville Square is a very different environment from what was previously seen from that Realm. It features a brand new set of tiles, including a new main building, The Theater. Make sure to explore all its layers! Look out for the Statue where two familiar friends would meet up and leave their mark. What does it mean and where will it bring us next? No one ever came back to tell us.
Mangled Update
Mangled up until now has required Survivors to heal in order to remove the effect, while also slowing down healing speeds. To create more meaningful player choice, we'll be adding a timer to every source of Mangled in the game, allowing players to choose to heal through it, or wait it out.

Dead by Daylight Patch Notes 7.5.0
Features
Field of View Settings
There is a new settings option in DbD! Players now have the ability to adjust their FOV, or field-of-view, with a slider in the Settings Menu. This allows players with a first-person-camera (Killers, with the exception of The Good Guy) to adjust their field-of-view, reducing motion-sickness and other accessibility issues. This feature is initially in the Beta Tab while we allow for thorough testing.
FOV Perk Updates
Shadowborn
When blinded by any means, gain a 6/8/10% Haste Status Effect for 10 seconds (new functionality)
Monitor and Abuse
While in a chase, your Terror Radius is increased by 8 meters. Otherwise, your Terror Radius is decreased by 8 meters (FoV clause was removed)
Generators System Update
The 3-gen strategy (identifying the closest 3 Generators and defending only them) has become very strong, especially on certain Killers. This can lead to very long games and frustration. To help prevent such situations, the following now applies:
Each generator can only suffer 8regression events maximum
After the max has been reached on a Generator, that Generator can no longer be regressed by the Killer (including kicks, Add-ons, and Perk-related regressions).
Number of regressions per Generator is indicated by increasing VFX after 3 or more regression events.
Gens at max regression events cannot regress by the Killer (including kicks, Add-ons, and Perk-related regressions).
Survivors failing Skill Checks still regress Generators normally and do not count as regression events.
Killer kick regression is increased from 2.5% to 5%.
"Gen tapping" is no longer possible. To stop a Generator from regressing, a Survivor must repair 5% of the Generator.
Regression does not occur while repairs are in progress.
Perks Affected
Hex: Ruin
All Generators are affected by Hex: Ruin. While a Generator is not being repaired by a Survivor, it will immediately and automatically regress repair progress at 50%/75%/100% of the normal regression speed. (no longer deactivates when a Survivor is killed).
Surge and Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance
Does not create a loud noise notification if no progress is lost on the Generator.
Oppression
Only causes a regression event on the generator that was kicked
Overcharge
Only the initiating kick counts as a regression event

Boon: Illumination
Press and hold the Ability button 1 near a Dull or Hex Totem to bless it and create a Boon Totem. Soft chimes ring out in a 24 meter range. Survivors inside your Boon Totem’s range see the aura of all Chests and all Generators in blue. If you have a lit Boon Totem, you cleanse or bless Totems 6/8/10% faster. You can only bless one Totem at a time. All equipped Boon Perks are active on your Boon Totem.
Deadline
This Perk activates when you are injured. Skill Checks appear 6/8/10% more frequently when repairing or healing and appear in random places. The penalty for missing Skill Checks is reduced by 50%.

Maps
Mount Ormond updates
We made some changes to Mount Ormond. The layout and main building are staying the same. but we decided to address the fact that the front of the Building, representing an entrance, had no gameplay or interesting loop. It was a big pile of rocks and not much else. So we went updated the gameplay to make it more fluid and fitting with the loops and to actually add gameplay. The Art team went through as well to make things look nice.
In the back of the building we had a couple of tiles that were simple loops, but that didn't have interesting gameplay. We updated this and improved the quality there as well.

Known Issues

Kicking things off (no pun intended), we have a few updates to Generators. More specifically, these changes target how Generators are damaged by the Killer and how their regression can be stopped by Survivors. The goal with this update is to bring an end to excessively long matches (3 gen scenarios in particular) and, at the same time, improve the Killer’s ability to damage Generators. 3 gen scenarios are those where the killer aims to defend 3 generators that are close by in particular and do not participate in normal gameplay – not chasing survivors, etc; in this instance, survivors are not able to make any meaningful progress to those generators.
Going forward, each Generator can only suffer from a maximum of 8 ‘regression events’ – where a regression event is any time the Killer or their Perks removes at least 2.5% of the Generator’s progress in an instant. An indicator will show the Killer if a Generator can no longer be damaged. In the overwhelming majority of games, this will not come into play. However, in scenarios where the Killer is defending a set of Generators and refusing to chase Survivors, there will eventually come a point where they can no longer damage the Generator, helping bring an end to excessively long matches.
At the same time, we want to address a point of frustration for Killers as well: Survivors working on a generator briefly to stop it from regressing, or “Gen tapping” for short. Given that the number of regression events is now limited, stopping a Generator from regressing is more meaningful than ever. To prevent Survivors from tapping a Generator to negate one of those regression events, we have made two changes:
The base damage from kicking a Generator has been increased to 5% (was 2.5%).
At least 5% of the Generator’s total charges must be repaired to stop regression, otherwise it will begin regressing again when the Survivor stops repairing.
This will help ensure that the Killer always gets some value from kicking a Generator and encourage Survivors to think twice before attempting to stop the regression.
FOV Setting
Is Shadowborn permanently locked into one of your Perk slots? Well, that’s about to change thanks to the new first-person field of view (FOV) slider. Starting with this update, Killers in first person will be able to adjust their FOV to something they’re more comfortable with, ranging from 87 degrees (the current default) to 103 degrees (the current maximum with Shadowborn).
Perks which alter your FOV (Shadowborn and Monitor & Abuse) will need to be adjusted. We’ll cover exactly how those Perks are changing later in this post.
Bear in mind this option only applies to first person field of view and therefore will not affect Survivors. Since Survivors play the game from the third person perspective, a wider FOV would add to an already advantageous camera view.
Initially this feature will be accessible through the Beta Tab in game.
The Onryo
A few months ago, we released a major update to The Onryo. Though some players were pleased with the changes, many longtime Onryo mains felt that her gameplay had changed too much from the Killer they once loved. In this update, we want to revisit Sadako once more to find a middle ground which better appeals to all her players, old and new.
Condemned
In the last update, Condemned would spread to all Survivors who were not holding a tape whenever Sadako projected to a TV. This allowed her to spread her curse more often, but many felt that this favoured teleporting as soon as possible rather than strategically during a chase. We have a few changes in mind to restore this gameplay while keeping Condemned more prominent:
When The Onryo teleports, Survivors within 16m of a powered TV will receive a stack of Condemned.
The teleport cooldown has been removed, allowing her to teleport more frequently.
When a Survivor is hooked, their current Condemned progress becomes locked in, preventing it from being removed.
This will make it very risky for Survivors to ignore Sadako’s curse. Survivors will want to shut off nearby TVs and deposit their tapes before it’s too late. Speaking of tapes…
Cursed Tapes
We’ve also reviewed the way Cursed Tapes work to bring back some of their fondly remembered behavior.
Cursed Tapes no longer protect Survivors from gaining Condemned.
Cursed Tapes are no longer destroyed or inflict Condemned when a Survivor is hit.
Cursed Tapes can only be deposited in the furthest TV from where they were picked up.
This will once again force the Survivors to spend some time crossing the map in order to delay the curse.
Demanifested
The previous update made it so The Onryo couldn’t start a chase while Demanifested. This had a side effect of making it very obvious when she Demanifested in the middle of a chase, allowing Survivors to anticipate and play around it.
The Onryo can now chase Survivors while Demanifested.
Additionally, many pointed out that one of The Onryo’s changed Add-Ons, Reiko’s Watch, was very fun to use. Rather than add the effect back into the Add-On, we instead incorporated it into her base kit to make the Add-On feel less essential.
The duration of invisibility while Demanifested has been increased to 1.2 seconds (was 1 second).
Add-Ons
With all these changes in mind, we’ve reviewed a handful of The Onryo’s Add-Ons which either no longer have a purpose or promoted strongly disliked playstyles.
The Hillbilly
Uh oh, watch out Survivors, it looks like someone unwrapped a brand new chainsaw. It’s The Hillbilly’s turn for an update!
Overdrive
The controversial Overheat mechanic is no more; Overdrive is the new talk of the town. As The Hillbilly uses his chainsaw, it will generate heat just like before. When the heat meter is full, not only will he continue being able to use it, but his chainsaw will kick into Overdrive and gain the following effects for the next 20 seconds:
Chainsaw charge speed is increased by 5%.
His Chainsaw Sprint movement speed increases to 13m/s.
Chainsaw Sprint cooldowns are reduced by 10%.
Cleaning Up
At the same time, we’ve made some general improvements to The Hillbilly’s kit and smoothed out some of the rougher edges.
The base Chainsaw Sprint movement speed has been increased by 10%.
Reduced the size of the Chainsaw’s collision detection to make Chainsaw Sprints more maneuverable in maps with high density tiles
Camera sensitivity is no longer incorrectly tied to the controller sensitivity setting while using a mouse & keyboard. (Chainsaw controls are now equal to 100% sensitivity before.)
Add-Ons
Last but certainly not least, we have done a pass on The Hillbilly’s Add-Ons with these changes in mind. This blogpost is long enough as is, so keep an eye on the patch notes when the Public Test Build (PTB) goes live for more details!
The Blight’s Add-Ons
Next up, we have changes in store for a handful of The Blight’s Add-Ons.
Blighted Rat & Blighted Crow
These Add-Ons are fairly strong, making it far more difficult to get out of the way of his Rush in time. We have reduced the Rush speed bonus of these Add-Ons to 2% and 3% respectively (was 4% and 6%).
Adrenaline Vial
This Add-On has a lot going on, making it jack-of-all-trades. To simply it and bring it closer in line with other options, we are removing the following effects:
No longer decreases time to recharge a Rush token by 1 second.
No longer increases Rush speed by 10%.
The Add-On now does the following (these effects are unchanged):
Increases maximum Rush tokens by 2.
Increases maximum Rush look angle by 20 degrees.
Decreases Rush turn rate by 55%.
Alchemist’s Ring
Restoring Rush tokens on hit is incredibly powerful, so we’ve reworked this Add-On entirely.
Increases Rush duration by 20% for each consecutive Rush.
Compound Thirty-Three
Reducing the Survivor’s movement speed acts very similarly to increasing The Blight’s Rush speed. We’ve decided the best course of action is to give this Add-On a new effect:
Each consecutive Rush which is longer than 4 meters increases turn rate by 33%.
Iridescent Blight Tag
This Add-On can also be extremely powerful in the right hands. It also promotes the awkward gameplay of repeatedly slamming into a wall to take advantage of the effects of the last Rush. We’ve given this Add-On a brand-new effect as well:
Enables Rush to be performed without spending tokens.
Rush bonuses are capped after 3 consecutive rushes.
Blighted Corruption goes on cooldown for 20 seconds after a successful Lethal Rush attack.
Perk Updates
Save the Best for Last
This Perk indirectly became stronger when the successful basic attack cooldown was reduced some time ago. Certain Killers can also circumvent the downside by using their special attack to injure the Obsession. To tone it down and make it more consistent across all Killers, we have made the following changes:
Each Token grants a stackable 4% decreased successful basic attack cooldown (was 5%).
2 tokens are lost when the Obsession loses a health state by any means (was basic attacks).
Grim Embrace
Grim Embrace blocks Generators for a substantial duration. However, it only activates once and requires the Killer to hook every Survivor once, it can be a little inconsistent and hard to activate. Therefore, we’re adding a secondary effect on top of the existing effect:
The first time each Survivor is hooked, all generators are blocked for 8/10/12 seconds once the Killer moves at least 16 meters from the hook.
This will ensure the Killer is always able to get some value out of their Perk even if the last elusive Survivor manages to evade them and reward Killers who switch targets.
Quick Gambit
This Perk grants other Survivors a repair speed boost when you are being chased nearby. However, its range is fairly low, making it difficult to get close enough for other Survivors to benefit from without also putting them in danger.
We have increased the range to 36 meters (was 24 meters).
We have reduced the repair speed bonus to 3/4/5% (was 6/7/8%).
Hex: Ruin
We toned this Perk down in a previous update. In retrospect, since the Perk could already be disabled by being cleansed, the added activation condition did not feel necessary.
Hex: Ruin is no longer disabled once a Survivor is killed or sacrificed.
Shadowborn
With the new FOV slider being introduced, Shadowborn is now obsolete and needs a new effect.
When blinded by any means, gain a 6/8/10% Haste effect for 10 seconds.
Monitor & Abuse
Likewise, the FOV altering effects of Monitor & Abuse are now unnecessary considering the added FOV slider. Monitor & Abuse allows for some interesting niche playstyles as is, so we have simply removed the FOV adjustments from this Perk and left the Terror Radius effects unchanged.
Ormond Gameplay Update
The newly renovated Mount Ormond Resort is open for the season! This update consists of layout changes to the front & back of the lodge, as well as miscellaneous loop adjustments.
The front of the lodge currently has a long row of rocks stretching across it. This can get in the way and make it difficult to traverse the map. Additionally, there’s no room in this portion of the map for any windows or pallets, essentially making it a big dead zone. We’ve given this portion of the map an overhaul to create more interesting gameplay.
The back of the lodge, meanwhile, is comprised of mostly picnic tables. Great for enjoying a meal in the freezing cold, but not very impactful when it comes to gameplay. Pallet loops around these tables are fairly short, making them incredibly unsafe. We have similarly adjusted this area to improve gameplay.
Game Modifiers
Whilst these will not be in the upcoming PTB, our first limited time modifier Dead by Daylight – Lights Out, will be available to play in the coming months. Stay tuned for more information!

New Killer - The Good Guy
Killer Power
The Good Guy has two separate modes he can switch between; Normal Mode and Hidey-Ho Mode. Due to his short height, The Good Guy also has a fixed third-person camera positioned above and behind him, giving the player a better view of his surroundings. He is also much shorter than other Killers making him very stealthy, however he leaves fading footprints behind as he walks.
Special Ability: Hidey-Ho Mode
Press CTRL to enter Hidey-Ho Mode for 20 seconds. While in this mode, the Killer has no Terror Radius, and "distraction" footprints and audio are spawned all across the map.
Special Attack: Slice & Dice
While in Hidey-Ho Mode, press and hold M2 to charge up a Slice & Dice Attack. Press M1 while charged to sprint forward at high speed, triggering an attack at the end (or whenever M1 is pressed).
Special Ability: Scamper
While in Hidey-Ho Mode, when you are near a vault or pallet, press Space to scamper through it quickly without breaking it.
Perks
Hex: Two Can Play
Anytime you are stunned or blinded by a Survivor 4/3/2 times, if there is no Hex Totem associated with this Perk, a Dull Totem becomes a Hex Totem. While the Hex Totem stands, Survivors who stun or blind you get blinded for 1.5 seconds.
Friends 'Til the End
When you hook a Survivor that is not the Obsession, the Obsession becomes exposed for 20 seconds and reveals their aura for 6/8/10 seconds. When you hook the Obsession, another random Survivor screams and reveals their position and becomes the Obsession.
Batteries Included
When within 12 meters of a completed Generator, you have 5% Haste. The movement speed bonus lingers for 1/3/5 seconds when you are no longer in range.
Killer Updates - The Trickster
Movement speed increased from 4.4 m/s to 4.6 m/s.
Removed recoil for throwing knives.

Increase the blade throw speed.

Main Event Updates:
Decrease the number of Blades required to access Main Event from 30 to 6 Blades.
Decrease Main Event duration from 10 sec to 5 sec.
Pressing LCTRL within 0.3second of activating Main Event does not cancel it.
Add 0.5second to the next Main Event for each combo score level reached.

E: base time + 0.5 sec
D: base time + 1 sec
C: base time + 1.5 sec
B: base time + 2 sec
A: base time + 2.5 sec
S: base time + 3 sec

Perk Updates
Made For This
This perk activates while you are in the injured state. after you finish healing another Survivor, gain the endurance status effect for 6/8/10 seconds. While affected by Deep Wound, you run 3% faster. (added deep wound condition for haste effect)
Map Updates
The largest Maps in the game, The Mother's Dwelling and The Temple of Purgation of the Red Forest Realm, have been reduced in size. This will help both roles enjoy a play area that is consistent with the other maps. While we were making adjustments to the Red Forest Realm, we also did a pass on the gameplay of the tiles and improve the navigation and the readability of the map.
The Garden of Joy also benefited from a gameplay pass. The house has been revisited to find a better combination of obstacles and reduce the strength of some of the windows. A pass on the tiles has also been done, since the visibility was making it hard for players to enjoy a better navigation in the map and bring the focus on the chase, loops and all interactions. The Killer Shack was also very crowded around the walls and made the collisions known through all realms hard to run consistently, we have cleared the area.
Features
Graphics Update
Added support for FSR 1.0 on all platforms.
Player Profile and Customizable Player Cards
Players can now expect to find their level and grades on a new screen - their Player Profile! Select the badge in the top right (of most menus) to open it.

Dead by Daylight Full Patch Notes Update 7.2.0 After PTB (Public Test Build) - 8/29/2023
Content
New Killer - The Xenomorph
Dev Note: Note that map-specific hooks will be overridden with the Xenomorph's hook when you play as or against The Xenomorph.
Killer Power: Hidden Pursuit
A series of tunnels become available on the map when the Xenomorph is in play. By accessing a Control Station, it can enter these tunnels to quickly move around the map, detect the presence of nearby Survivors, and speed up the cooldown time of its Crawler Mode ability. Exiting a Control Station tags nearby Survivors with Killer Instinct.
Special Ability: Crawler Mode
The Xenomorph enters Crawler Mode automatically when not on cooldown. In Crawler Mode, the Xenomorph walks on four legs and becomes stealthier, reducing its Terror Radius. While in Crawler Mode the Xenomorph also has access to a brutal Tail Attack.
Map Feature: Control Stations
Seven Control Stations are scattered across the map. Survivors can interact with these stations to get a Remote Flame Turret, while the Xenomorph can enter and exit the tunnels underneath the Control Stations.
Special Item: Remote Flame Turret
Turrets can be placed in the map to counteract the Xenomorph. When the Xenomorph enters the radius and line of sight of a Turret, the Turret attacks; this attack staggers the Xenomorph and will cause Crawler Mode to end. If a Turret successfully knocks the Xenomorph out of Crawler Mode or fires for too long, it overheats, and must be repaired by a Survivor. The Xenomorph can attack Turrets to destroy them.
Perks
Ultimate Weapon
When you open a locker, this perk activates for 30 seconds. Survivors entering your Terror Radius scream and reveal their position and gain Blindness for 30 seconds. This perk then goes on cooldown for 40/35/30 seconds.
Rapid Brutality
You can no longer gain Bloodlust. Hitting a Survivor with a basic attack gives you 5% haste for 8/9/10 seconds.
Alien Instinct
This perk activates when you hook a Survivor. You see the aura of the farthest injured Survivor for 5 seconds and that Survivor is oblivious for 16/18/20 seconds.
New Survivor - Ellen Ripley
Perks
Lucky Star
When you hide in a locker, this perk activates. You leave no pools of blood and make no grunts of pain for 10 seconds. When you exit the locker, you see other survivors and the closest generator's aura in yellow for 10 seconds. This perk then goes on cooldown for 40/35/30 seconds.
Chemical Trap
After completing 70%/60%/50% progress on any generator, this perk activates. While standing next to a dropped pallet, press the Active Ability Button 2 to install a Trap, which stays active for 100/110/120 seconds. The aura of trapped pallets are revealed in yellow to all Survivors. When the Killer performs the break action on the trapped pallet, the trap explodes, and they are slowed by 50% for 4 seconds.
Light Footed
When you are healthy, this perk activates. Your running footsteps are silent. This perk goes on cool-down for 28/24/20 seconds after doing a rushed action.
New Map - Nostromo Wreckage
Explore the mysterious crash site of the iconic Nostromo. Visit landmarks familiar to the fans of the Alien franchise, in a unique setting where you will find yourself chased in and out of the ship. Run the Killer around the shuttle that brought Ripley to the world of the Entity. Navigate through the alien landscape, and you may yet escape from the remains of the wrecks.

New Killer: The Xenomorph
Killer Power
Hidden Pursuit - A series of tunnels become available on the map when the Xenomorph is in play. By accessing a Control Station, it can enter these tunnels to quickly move around the map, detect the presence of nearby Survivors, and speed up the cooldown time of its Runner Mode ability. Exiting a Control Station tags nearby Survivors with Killer Instinct.
Special Ability: Runner Mode - The Xenomorph enters Runner Mode automatically when not on cooldown. In Runner Mode, the Xenomorph walks on four legs and becomes stealthier, reducing its Terror Radius. While in Runner Mode the Xenomorph also has access to a brutal Tail Attack.

Turrets can be placed in the map to counteract the Xenomorph. When the Xenomorph enters the radius and line of sight of a Turret, the Turret attacks; this attack staggers the Xenomorph and will cause Runner Mode to end. If a Turret successfully knocks the Xenomorph out of Runner Mode or fires for too long, it overheats, and must be repaired by a Survivor. The Xenomorph can attack Turrets to destroy them.
The Xenomorph Perks
Ultimate Weapon
When you open a locker, this perk activates for 30 seconds. Survivors entering your Terror Radius scream and reveal their position and gain Blindness for 30 seconds. This perk then goes on cooldown for 40/35/30 seconds.
Rapid Brutality
You can no longer gain Bloodlust. Hitting a Survivor with a basic attack gives you 5% haste for 8/9/10 seconds.
Alien Instinct
This perk activates when you hook a Survivor. You see the aura of the farthest injured Survivor for 5 seconds and that Survivor is oblivious for 16/18/20 seconds.
When you hide in a locker, this perk activates. You leave no pools of blood and make no grunts of pain for 10 seconds. When you exit the locker, you see other survivors and the closest generator's aura in yellow for 10 seconds. This perk then goes on cooldown for 40/35/30 seconds.
Chemical Trap
After completing 70%/60%/50% progress on any generator, this perk activates. While standing next to a dropped pallet, press the Active Ability Button 2 to install a Trap, which stays active for 100/110/120 seconds. The aura of trapped pallets are revealed in yellow to all Survivors. When the Killer performs the break action on the trapped pallet, the trap explodes, and they are slowed by 50% for 4 seconds.

When you are healthy, this perk activates. Your running footsteps are silent. This perk goes on cool-down for 28/24/20 seconds after doing a rushed action.
