Public Test Build 5.5.0[]

Important

Due to an increase in file compression, players who download this PTB will have to download almost the entire game, and then re-download the entire game when switching back to the regular version. Thankfully, this means the PTB build is ~20GB smaller than usual.

This change is the first step in reducing future patch times, and we appreciate your understanding and patience as we progressively continue to improve patch times.

Progress & save data information has been copied from the Live game to our PTB servers on December 22nd. Please note that players will be able to progress for the duration of the PTB, but none of that progress will make it back to the Live version of the game.


Features

  • Fixed some specific vulnerabilities that could be abused by cheaters
  • Hit feedback has been adjusted to reduce the frequency of visual feedback in the case of a rejected hit (especially for instances of Dead Hard)

Dev Note: This won't eliminate all instances of VFX / SFX feedback when landing a rejected hit, but it should reduce it for most cases where the players have a decent connection to the server.

  • New Feature: Interaction Behavior - Hold / Toggle
    • When set to Toggle, you no longer need to hold the interaction button for interaction (Fixing generators, healing, kicking generators, etc.)
    • To end the interaction, you will need to press the interaction button a second time (or use the "Run to Cancel" option detailed below!)
    • Located in the Options menu under "Controls"
    • Available for both Survivor and Killer as separate settings
  • New Feature: Run to Cancel - On / Off
    • When enabled, survivor players can cancel an interaction by giving a run input (i.e. the run modifier and a direction to move)
    • Located in the Options menu under "Controls"
    • Only available for Survivors

Dev Note: Holding buttons for extended interactions isn't always the most comfortable, so this feature aims to address that. When combined with the Run to Cancel, you can quickly disengage from fixing a generator once you spot The Shape stalking you.


Beta Features

  • A new tab is available in the Options menu: Beta!
    • New features will appear here so that we can gain feedback from all players on all platforms
    • Turning a feature ON will grant a Bloodpoint bonus for the first 10 matches that you play with it
  • First Beta Feature: New Wiggle Interaction
    • Survivor only
    • Replaces the wiggle interaction with a new dual skill check style input
    • Default binding for Keyboard: Space
    • Default binding for Controller: LB/RB or L1/R1
      • When playing on a controller, either button will work for either side of the skill check
    • Secondary input can be rebound in the Key Bindings menu
    • Bloodpoint Bonus for first 10 matches: 20,000

Dev Note: We're excited to gather your feedback on the new Wiggle system, and we've put it in a Beta tab to allow console players to participate in the fun!

Patch 5.5.0[]

The Oni

  • Add-on - Iridescent Family Crest
  • Increased scream radius on missed attacks to 24 meters (was 12 meters)

Dev Notes: Almost all of these add-on changes are "numbers only" tweaks, where we've adjusted numerical values and nothing else. The nerfed add-ons were all over-performing and influencing kill rates vs. their baseline kill rates more than we'd like, so they've been adjusted downwards slightly. Likewise, the buffed add-ons were all under-performing, so we hope to make them more appealing with larger effects.

Dev Notes: We will continue to monitor the performance of Circle of Healing, and may adjust it again in the near future.


Killer Perks

  • Gearhead - Reworked
  • New Description: After a Survivor loses a health state, Gearhead activates. While Gearhead is active, the next time a Survivor completes a Great Skill Check while repairing, their Aura is revealed to you for 6/8/10 seconds. Gearhead then deactivates.
  • Remember Me
  • Trigger condition changed to the Obsession losing a health state (was triggered on basic attack only)
  • Coup de Grace
  • Increased lunge distance modifier to 70/75/80% (was 40/50/60%)
  • Furtive Chase
  • Effect Removed: "You lose all your tokens if the Obsession is sacrificed or killed."
  • Dead Man's Switch
  • Removed the Obsession mechanic, the perk now triggers when hooking any survivor.

Dev Notes: Gearhead was seeing very little use and was a bit too complicated to trigger reliably. The rework aims to make it simpler and more appealing in a wider variety of situations.

Hotfix 5.5.2[]

Content

  • Boil Over
    • Changed to give 33% of current wiggle progress when falling from great heights (was a flat 25% increase)

Dev Note: This change prevents abuse of Boil Over in specific map locations where the killer has no choice but to drop from a height. It still stays relevant for longer walks and especially for basement access. At over 75% wiggle progress, it still results in an insta-drop.

  • Changed "Rite of The Executioner" Daily Ritual to require sending 2 Survivors to Cages of Atonement (was 4)
