The long awaited DbD overhaul: Conclusion
After taking break from the game since the release of Evil Dead, I've read the upcoming Developer update. And these seem to be the conclusions:
- Reduced grind: Good
-Same meta : You will still need BT to help the pathetic 5 second unhook invulnerability plus the worst possible version of DS they can come up with. And now you will pick Self Care with Bottany Knowledge. Perks like Iron will are completely useless now, spine chill is just worse than before... etc
-Sabotaging: Saboteur's new version is whatever. so Sabotaging is still useless and too situational to care.
-Camping and tunneling is stronger now: 5 seconds BT means nothing, now DS will help you even less, gens take longer so it's even better to just camp and tunnel now.
To make it short: Meta perks are completely useless now but STILL necessary (BT, DS), camping and tunnelling is even more viable now, some perks are better but still whatever, nothing is really interesting or unexpected. I was hopeful about this update, but it's actually the most disappointing update I could possibly hope for. Back to Evil Dead.
