Dead by Daylight 7.6.0 Update Live – Brings New Survivor, Killer, & Long-Awaited Pig Buffs

Sable Ward and The Unknown join the Dead by Daylight roster today with update 7.6.0, alongside a brand-new Perk type, Invocations. There’s a new map coming with the new chapter, Greenville Square, which joins Garden of Joy as the second Withered Isle map. Unbelievably, we’ve got some Pig buffs in this patch as well, plus some changes — mostly buffs — to Blight, Clown, Demogorgon, Huntress, Hag, and Doctor. It’s not all Killer buffs though! Mangled got a change that lets Survivors wait it out now, rather than being forced into an extra-slow heal.

Naturally, the two new characters are available as a DLC. Purchasing the new chapter, All Things Wicked, gets you:

  • New Killer: The Unknown
  • New Survivor: Sable Ward
  • An exclusive Cosmetic for The Unknown: Casual Garden Outfit
  • An exclusive Cosmetic for Sable Ward: Designer Corset

Today’s update also included details on the next event. The Blood Moon event begins March 18th at 11:00 am ET. The event tome opens at the same time. Read on to see the full patch notes, or check out our traditional TL;DR below!

  • New Survivor – Sable Ward
  • New Killer – The Unknown

    • Invocations require Survivors to activate a salt circle in the Basement; on activation, a penalty is paid in exchange for a large boost.

    • The Hag – Buffs to Phantasm Traps and changes to some related Add-ons

    • The Blight – Buffed Compound Thirty-Three Add-on

  • Bloodweb Improvement – Auto purchase will be available in all character’s Bloodwebs after any character has one prestige

Killer Power
Press the Power button to charge UVX. Once ready, press the Attack button to launch UVX, a bouncing Projectile which creates a Blast Area upon impact. Survivors become Hindered if touched by UVX while airborne. Survivors touching the Blast Area become Weakened. Weakened Survivors lose health states if touched by Blast Area. Survivors lose Weakened by successfully Staring Down The Unknown.

Special Ability: Hallucinations
The Unknown will intermittently create up to 4 Hallucinations. Hallucinations cannot be created while charging UVX, performing interactions, or in proximity to map objects like Hooks. Whenever Survivors are touched by Blast Area or otherwise become Weakened, the next Hallucination’s spawn time decreases by 10 seconds.

Special Ability: Teleport
The Unknown can teleport to Hallucinations, leaving behind a temporary Decoy. Survivors can remove Hallucinations from the Trial with the Dispel ability. Weakened Survivors take longer to Dispel. If Dispel is not completed, Survivors become Weakened and trigger Killer Instinct.

Perks

  • Unbound
    • This perk activates for 24/27/30 seconds after a Survivor becomes injured by any means.
    • After vaulting a window, you gain 5% Haste for 10 seconds. This effect cannot stack with itself.
  • Unforeseen
    • When you perform the Break action on a Generator, your Terror Radius transfers to the Generator for 22/26/30 seconds and its radius is set to 32/32/32 meters.
    • You gain Undetectable for that duration.
    • Then, this Perk goes on cooldown for 30/30/30 seconds.
  • Undone
    • When a Survivor misses a healing or repair Skill Check, gain 3 Tokens, up to a maximum of 18/24/30 Tokens.
    • When you perform the Break action on a Generator, if you have any Tokens, consume all of them. For each Token consumed, the Generator loses 1% total progress and then becomes blocked for 1 second.
    • Then, once the Generator is unblocked, it starts regressing.
    • This Perk goes on cooldown for 60 seconds.

Perks

  • Invocation: Weaving Spiders
    • When in the Basement near the circle, press the ability button 1 to begin the Invocation.
    • Invocations take 120 seconds. Other Survivors will see your aura during this and can join an ongoing interaction, increasing speed by 50% each. If they have an Invocation Perk equipped, they increase it by 100% instead.
    • Once the Invocation is completed:
      • You become injured and Broken for the rest of the Trial.
      • Reduce the max required Generator progress of all remaining Generators by 8/9/10 charges (same effect as “Brand New Part”).
      • Completing the Invocation disables that Perk for all Survivors.
  • Strength in Shadows
    • When in the basement, this Perk activates.
    • Unlocks the Strength in Shadows ability, which allows you to heal without a med-kit at 70/70/70% normal healing speed.
    • When you finish a heal in the basement, you see the Killer’s aura for 6/8/10 seconds.
  • Wicked
    • Your self-unhook attempts in the basement always succeed.
    • When you are unhooked or unhook yourself, you see the Killer’s aura for 16/18/20 seconds.

A new section of the Withered Isle has opened up to the players. The Greenville Square is a very different environment from what was previously seen from that Realm. It features a brand new set of tiles, including a new main building, The Theater. Make sure to explore all its layers! Look out for the Statue where two familiar friends would meet up and leave their mark. What does it mean and where will it bring us next? No one ever came back to tell us.

Mangled up until now has required Survivors to heal in order to remove the effect, while also slowing down healing speeds. To create more meaningful player choice, we’ll be adding a timer to every source of Mangled in the game, allowing players to choose to heal through it, or wait it out.
