Dead by Daylight September 2023 Developer Update Notes
Below, we’ve broken down the patch notes for the Dead by Daylight September 2023 Developer Update. The official notes are pretty hefty, so we’ve summarized each one to clarify what’s changing and what players should expect.
Anti-Face Camping
Face camping can be a huge problem in a Trial. It’s the term for when a Killer hooks a Survivor and then waits around that hook to ensure no other Survivors rescue them. While there are some cases where it’s necessary, some Killers abuse it.
To make face camping fairer for Survivors, a new system is being implemented. A meter will appear for Survivors who are hooked, and it’ll build up every time the Killer gets too close. When it’s full, the Survivor can leap off and unhook themselves with a 100% chance for success.
If other Survivors are close, the meter will slow or stop entirely. It’ll also disappear when the gate is opened because that’s when the Killer is on the back foot. It’s designed to stop the worst face camping experiences from ever happening.
The Skull Merchant
The Skull Merchant is incredibly efficient at guarding generators in every Trial in Dead by Daylight, but that’s no fun for Survivors. The following updates aim to reduce the Killer’s effectiveness just a smidge, balancing every Trial they enter for a better overall experience.
Lock On
Active Zones will be removed from The Skull Merchant’s drones. It’s these zones that gave the Killer way too much information. Now, drones will apply one stack of Lock On to the Survivors they detect. After being detected three times, equating to three stacks of Lock On, they automatically receive a Claw Trap.
While this might seem like quite a big punishment for The Skull Merchant,
