Following our prior coverage on Dead by Daylight, we’re back with another article on this massively popular game. This time around, we will be taking a look at the recently launched 5.0.1 update to Dead by Daylight that will see the beloved Racoon City Police Station map returning to the game for use in custom matches. The patch is also a bugfix patch, meaning it will be fixing a lot of known issues with the game. This keeps the game improving each day and prevents it from falling into a vicious cycle of perpetual glitching. With that out of the way, let’s take a look at everything that the new patch brings us!
- “The Raccoon City Police Station map has been re-enabled for custom matches while we continue to investigate certain stability issues.”
- “The RPD Badge offering has been temporarily disabled. It can still be collected in blood webs but cannot be equipped for trials.”
As we mentioned at the start, this patch brings back the extremely fun Racoon City Police Station map, which had been removed from the game due to stability issues. While the devs are still looking into its stability, the map is now ready to be used in custom matches once again, meaning you and your friends can now use it in your private games!
