Dead by Daylight Patch 6.4.0 Forged in Fog Is Live

With the release of the latest chapter comes a patch — this one contains a lot more than the new characters, however! Bots in custom matches, flashlight changes, and a new basement round out today’s update. Read on for a brief rundown of the changes, or use the Contents button to find a specific topic or see the complete notes.

New Killer, Survivor, & Map

  • New Killer: The Knight
    • This Killer’s power lets him summon one of three different Gaurds, who will patrol the path given to them, damaging generators and chasing Survivors they spot. His perks let him see Survivor aura’s when damaging gens, reveal Survivors outside of his Terror Radius with a Hex, and Expose Survivors that stun him.
  • New Survivor: Vittorio Toscano
    • This Survivor’s perks are all generator related — they let him reveal the Killer’s aura with Great Skill Checks on gens, store up generator repairs for key moments, and speed up the repairs of other Survivors while in a chase nearby.
  • The Shattered Square
    • A medieval-themed DLC wouldn’t be complete without a map to match.

Flashlight Changes

  • Flashlight blinds that occur within the last 0.4 seconds of the Killer’s pickup animation will stun the killer.
    • This is a buff to flashlight saves, as it greatly extends the window in which you can sucessfully blind the Killer while they’re picking up a Survivor.
  • Killers are immune to blindness when grabbing a Survivor from a locker
    • SWF teams were using the fact that Killers were easy to blind while opening a locker to make lockers very safe; this change is designed to remove that strategy.

Bots in Custom Matches

Just like it says on the tin — you’ll now be able to add Survivor bots to custom matches! Perfect for people who want to play with their friends without any pesky randoms spoiling the fun.

Updated Basment, Breakable Objects, & Rancor

  • The basement has been updated
    • Visuals have been improved
    • The stairs have been widened to prevent body-blocking.
  • Pallets and Breakable Walls have new visuals
  • The Killer perk Rancor has been buffed
    • It now exposes the Obsession when closing the hatch

Dead by Daylight Forged in Fog Patch Notes 6.4.0

Features

New Killer – The Knight

New Perk – Nowhere to Hide

  • Whenever you damage a generator, reveal the aura of all Survivors standing within 24 meters of your position for 3/4/5 seconds

New Perk – Hex: Face the Darkness

  • Injuring a Survivor by any means lights a Dull Totem, activating the Hex. While the Hex is active, all other Survivors outside of your Terror Radius will scream every 35/30/25 seconds, revealing their positions and auras for 2 seconds. When the Survivor enters the dying state or becomes healthy, the Hex totem becomes dull again and this perk deactivates. If the Hex totem is cleansed, this perk is permanently disabled

New Perk – Hubris

  • Whenever you are stunned by a Survivor, that Survivor suffers from the Exposed status effect for 10/15/20 seconds. Hubris has a cooldown of 20 seconds

New Survivor – Vittorio Toscano

New Perk – Potential Energy

  • After working on a generator for 12/10/8 uninterrupted seconds, press the Active Ability Button 2 to activate this perk. When this perk is active, repairing the generator will charge this perk instead of making the generator progress. For each 1.5% of generator repair, the perk will gain one token, up to 20 tokens. While this perk has at least one token and you are working on a generator, you can press the Active Ability Button 2 to consume all the tokens and instantly make the generator progress by 1% for each token. This perk then deactivates. If you lose a health state while this perk has at least 1 tokens, the perk will lose all tokens and deactivate. Missing a skill check will also result in some charges lost

New Perk – Fogwise

  • Hitting a great Skill Check while repairing a generator reveals the aura of the Killer to you for 4/5/6 seconds

New Perk – Quick Gambit

  • When you are chased within 24 meters of any generator, any other Survivor working on that generator receives a 6/7/8% speed boost to the repair action

Flashlight update

  • Flashlight blinds that occur within the last 0.4 seconds of the Survivor pickup animation will now stun the Killer once the animation has completed
  • Dev note: We’ve increased the duration of the buffer from its PTB value of 0.25 to account for latency.
