The multiplayer horror game, Dead by Daylight has received a new update patch 4.7.0. In this article, we are going to be breaking down its contents and talk about what new changes are implemented. Here’s everything you need to know.
Dead by Daylight
The co-op horror game where a total of 4 players have to defend themselves from a single enemy has been in talks recently. It features a unique form of gameplay that is liked by a wide range of players but the game wasn’t as amazing as it appeared in the trailer. Being filled with numerous bugs, the overall experience of the game is somewhat satisfactory if not great. However, it has also been revealed that the game is a pay-to-win title which isn’t a good sign for any game in the current gaming market. So, let us see what this new update 4.7.0 has brought to the game.

More Live Design
Apart from the killer updates, the most significant live design change in this update is the change to Survivor’s hook struggle inputs. One of the motivating factors behind this update is to reduce the number of inputs per second in order to make the game more accessible to those suffering from RSI. After the release of this mechanic for The Executioner’s Cages and its positive reception by the community, we felt confident of making this change more broadly for all Sacrifice struggles.
The new Object of Obsession design previewed on the dev stream has been completed with a few tweaks. We hope solo Survivors will enjoy Small Game’s new Totem-counting function, and Borrowed Time no longer triggers based on Terror Radius… it just works.
New hook struggle
Struggling during the second stage on a hook is now a series of Skill Checks
Failing to give any input for two successive Skill Checks will instantly complete the Sacrifice
Missing a skill check will reduce the amount of time until the Entity claims the hooked Survivor
Perks
Small Game: Gain tokens for each Totem any Survivor cleanses; tokens reduce cone width to increase accuracy; no longer triggers for the Totem you are currently cleansing.
Lucky Break: Now hides scratch marks as well; duration reduced to 35/40/45 seconds.
Soul Guard: Now has a 30 second cooldown between activations.
Open-Handed: Increases aura reading range by 8/12/16 meters; Survivors may only be affected by one instance of Open-Handed.
Zanshin Tactics: Now always active and range increased to 24/28/32 meters.
Borrowed Time: No longer requires being in the Terror Radius to trigger; duration of Enduring status reduced to 8/10/12 seconds.
Object of Obsession: This perk has been redesigned.
Whenever your aura is revealed to the Killer, the Killer’s aura becomes visible to you and you gain a 2/4/6% bonus to healing, repairing and cleansing speed.
If you are the Obsession, your aura is revealed to the killer for 3 seconds once every 30 seconds.
Increases your chances of being the Obsession.
Other
Repairing while using a toolbox now increases the odds of getting Skill Checks by 5x (was 2x).
When the Hatch is opened by a Key, it remains open for 10 seconds (was 30 seconds).
Every trial will now start with an obsession, regardless of player loadouts.
