The Withering Blight is an Event in Dead by Daylight 
that was originally scheduled to last from 22 October until 1 November 2019.
Due to unforeseen problems with the 3.3.0 Mid-Chapter Update, the Event was postponed until the 30th, meaning that the Event lasted from 30 October to 10 November 2019.
It kicked off the in-game celebrations in honour of Halloween 2019, albeit a bit late.

Overview
The Withering Blight is a Halloween-themed version of the Scorching Summer BBQ Event.
Its occurrence was leaked by data found related to the new Event in CHAPTER XIII: Stranger Things and the new Customisation Options being added during Patch 3.2.2.
It is part of the reoccurring Blight Event; its predecessor was the 2018 The Hallowed Blight Event.
In-Game Changes
- Re-enabled the All Hallows' Eve Lunchbox
Med-Kit. - Re-enabled the Will O' Wisp Flashlight.
- Re-enabled the Pustula Petals Offering.
The Event Items can be found in newly generated Bloodwebs 
and generally in Chests 
located throughout the Trial Grounds.
The Event Offering will increase the amount of Cankerous Hooks and Generators that spawn in the Trial Grounds and increase the Bonus Bloodpoints 
one receives from interacting with them.
Not burning the Offering will still grant Bonus Bloodpoints, but fewer.
Putrid Serum
By completing challenges and progressing the Event-Rift in the Archives, Players will be rewarded with Putrid Serum 
, which can then be exchanged for cosmetics of either the older Hallowed Blight Collection or this year's Hallowed Catalyst Collection.
The Serum is available on the Free Track of The Rift and is capped at a maximum of 60, allowing for the purchase of 6 Cosmetic Pieces or up to 2 Outfits.
The Hallowed Catalyst Collection
|
It is the season of night; a time of tricks and thrills. The Hallowed Blight infested the many Realms with putrid flowers whose nectar became the catalyst for horrific experiments. The Hallowed Catalyst Collection yields the morbid fruits of these experiments. |
