4.6 Chapter PATCH tomorrow (complete list of changes)

Is this what is going in officially? Since it was the last PTB build?

I know they posted some twitter changes, I listed those first.

-----------------------------------------

Main Event automatically throws blades when activated and can be cancelled early

During Main Event, your ammo no longer decreases

Trick Blades no longer deal bonus Laceration, but instead award bonus Bloodpoints and ricochet twice instead of once

Improved feedback on Main Event cooldown

Improved visibility of Laceration meter on Survivor portraits

Various bug fixes

Smash Hit: Duration increased to 4 seconds

Self Preservation: Now also hides Pools of Blood & Grunts of Pain

Starstruck: Exposed effect now refreshes any time the Survivor enters your Terror Radius, and the effect persists for 26/28/30 seconds after leaving it. Cooldown reduced to 60 seconds
