Patch 4.3.0[]

FEATURES

The Executioner Balance Update

At the moment, the cost of missing a Punishment of the Damned attack is too high, and it's too easy to fake Rites of Judgement into a basic attack. The following adjustments address these issues.

Power:

  • After cancelling Rites of Judgement:
    • Movement speed is 3.68 m/s for 1 second
    • Further attacks cannot be made for 1 second
    • Cool-down before further attacks after Punishment of the Damned reduced from 2.75 seconds to 2.25 second

Perks:

  • Trail of Torment: Undetectable now lasts until the affected Generator stops regressing or a Survivor is injured or put into the dying state by any means
  • Forced Penance: Broken Status effect lasts 60/70/80 seconds
  • Blood Pact: Haste bonus is now 5%/6%/7%, and lasts until the Survivors are no longer within 16 meters of each other

  • (++) Discordance now has limited range of 32/64/96 meters. It triggers one loud noise for a Generator when it's first marked.
