Dead by Daylight (DBD) Version 2.98 Patch Notes (7.3.2) – October 26, 2023
Killer – The Skull Merchant
- Reworked Low Power Mode Add-on:
- Now decreases Drone Rotation speed by 100%, effectively stopping rotation.
- No longer decreases Power cooldown by 25%.
Environment/Maps
The maximum number of pallets spawned in the Shattered Square Map has been increased to 18 to prevent large areas of the map from spawning with no pallets. The quality of the loops were also updated to reduce their safety. We hope this adds better gameplay for both roles.
Note: The map is not guaranteed to generate with this many pallets and will instead prematurely stop spawning pallets if the minimum pallet requirement has been reached and there are no more valid positions far enough from other pallets.
