Change Log
Patch 3.1.0
- Buff: removed the Basic Attack condition
- Infectious Fright now triggers whenever a Survivor is put into the Dying State by any means.
Patch 3.4.0
- Nerf (undocumented): no longer affects Survivors that are hiding in Lockers.
Patch 6.6.0
- Change: modified the behaviour of the triggered Survivor screams to be consistent across all Unlockables:
- Survivor screams are now 3D with a maximum audible range of 19 metres (used to be a map-wide 2D scream).
- Triggers a Loud Noise Notification.
Patch 6.6.2
- Reversal: reverted the behaviour of Survivor screams to their original functionality.
- The reversal was motivated by the community's negative response to the range limit, which caused the Perks to end up weaker than before.
Trivia
- During play-testing, Infectious Fright was jokingly referred to as "Shit Your Pants" by the Developers.
- Survivors within the Terror Radius generated by Dark Devotion
are affected by Infectious Fright. - Survivors hiding in Lockers are unaffected by Infectious Fright.
