DBD 7.0 Patch Notes (Chapter 28) – May 23, 2023
New
New Killer: The Singularity
The Singularity is a new Killer that uses the power of gravity to its advantage. It can create a black hole that pulls Survivors towards it, and can also use its power to teleport short distances. The Singularity is a powerful Killer, but it can also be difficult to control.
New Survivor: Gabriel Soma
Gabriel Soma is a new Survivor who has a natural talent for repairing generators. He can also see the auras of generators that are close to being completed. Gabriel is a valuable asset to any team, and his skills can help Survivors escape the Killer more quickly.
New Map: Dvarka Deepwood – Toba Landing
Dvarka Deepwood – Toba Landing is a new map that is set on a lush, alien planet. The map is full of dangerous creatures and obstacles, and Survivors will need to use all of their skills to survive.
Killer Tweaks
The Artist, The Nemesis, The Trickster, The Ghost Face, and The Executioner have all received some balance changes in this update. These changes are designed to make these Killers more effective and fun to play.
Perk Updates
Pop Goes the Weasel and Déjà Vu have both been updated in this patch. Pop Goes the Weasel now damages generators more severely, and Déjà Vu now reveals the auras of generators for a longer period of time.
Features
The loadout and customization screens have been updated with a new search bar. This allows players to quickly find the items, add-ons, offerings, perks, cosmetics, outfits, and charms that they are looking for.
