DBD update 2.50 Patch Notes (v6.0) – Official
Features
- New Killer – The Dredge
- New Perk: Dissolution
- 3 seconds after injuring a Survivor by any means, Dissolution activates for 12/16/20 second(s). While Dissolution is active, if a Survivor fast vaults over a pallet inside of your Terror Radius, the Entity will break the pallet at the end of the vault, and Dissolution deactivates.
- New Perk: Darkness Revealed
- When you open a locker, the auras of all Survivors within 8 meters of any lockers are revealed to you for 3/4/5 seconds. This perk has a 30 second cooldown.
- New Perk: Septic Touch
- Whenever a Survivor performs the healing action within your Terror Radius, they suffer from Blindness and Exhaustion. These effects linger for 6/8/10 seconds after a healing action is interrupted by any means.
- New Perk: Dissolution
- New Survivor – Haddie Kaur
- New Perk: Inner Focus
- You can see other Survivors’ Scratch Marks within a 32 meters range of you. Whenever another Survivor loses a health state within a 32 meters range of you, the Killer’s aura is revealed to you for 3/4/5 seconds.
- New Perk: Residual Manifest
- After a successful Killer Blind action, the Killer is affected by the Blindness status effect for 20/25/30 seconds. This perk grants the ability to rummage through an opened chest once per Trial and will guarantee a basic Flashlight.
- New Perk: Overzealous
- After cleansing any totem, this perk activates. Your generator repair speed is increased by 4%/5%/6%. This Perk deactivates when you lose a health state by any means.
- New Perk: Inner Focus
- New General Killer Perk – Shattered Hope
- When you destroy a Boon Totem this way, the auras of all Survivors inside the Boon Totem range are revealed to you for 6/7/8 seconds.
- UI
- Layout change to the Main Menu – Allows more room to gaze longingly into the campfire.
- Menu movement when using a Controller has been removed across all screens.
- Presets – For Loadouts & Customizations
- The ability to save your favorite Loadout builds and Customizations has been added to the Loadout and Customizations menus respectively.
- The Ghost Face
- Reworked Add-on – Driver’s License
- When Marking a Survivor repairing a generator, the generator explodes and loses 20% progress. The affected generator becomes blocked for 15 seconds. When Marking multiple Survivors at the same time, the loss of progress only applies once.
- Reworked Add-on – Driver’s License
- The Pig
- Added an extra Jigsaw Box to all matches
- Survivors are guaranteed to find the key for their Reverse Beartrap at a maximum of 4 boxes searched (It can still be found sooner, but you will never need to search more than 4 boxes)
- The box system has been adjusted to be more consistent overall and have a slightly higher average number of searches needed, from 2.5 to 3 (Yes, this is a buff)
Dev Note: Some Pig players have been camping out in front of the final Jigsaw Box, blocking a survivor from being able to get rid of their Reverse Beartrap. With these changes, this strategy will no longer work! We also tweaked the way box searches are determined to prevent extreme cases of very few searches / too many searches, as well as a small buff to the average number of searches required to escape the Reverse Beartrap. Overall, this should make the boxes more consistent and slightly more powerful for The Pig.
- Miscellaneous
- Changed the text for Entity Displeased on the tally screen. It now reads “The Entity Hungers…”
- Added a warning message in the Custom Games Lobby to indicate that matches do not count toward Achievements.
- Updated desktop icon.
