Today’s Dead by Daylight patch is a relatively small one, mostly focused on issues with Killers and some maps. It also includes yet more improvements to Survivor bots — it won’t be long before Ada Wong_01 is carrying games! Naturally, new Killer The Good Guy (Chucky) got a number of bug fixes, plus a new feature: there is now input protection when entering Hidey-Ho mode, which means you can’t accidentally enter and then immediately exit Hidey-Ho if you spam the hotkey.
Also worth noting are the “Bone Chill” Winter event start times included in today’s bugfix announcement:
- The “Bone Chill” Winter event starts: Dec. 14th at 11AM ET
- The “Bone Chill” Winter event Tome starts: Dec. 14th at 11AM ET
