9.1.0 | PTB Patch Notes
Important
- Due to known technical issues, Michonne will not be playable in the PTB. However, her three unique Perks are available to test. Players will still be able to see her in the Lobby and in the Store, but will not be able to select her to play in a Trial. These issues will be resolved and Michonne will be fully-playable when version 9.1.0 update releases on July 29.
- Progress & save data information has been copied from the Live game to our PTB servers on July 1, 2025. Please note that players will be able to progress for the duration of the PTB, but none of that progress will make it back to the Live version of the game.
- Players will once again receive 12,500 Auric Cells on the PTB to explore Outfits and Characters in the Store. Both Auric Cells and purchases made on the PTB Build will not transfer to the Live Build.

Comments

I still don’t think Insidious will be useful even after this buff. I wish it would get reworked to be lethal pursuer for undetectable and make it so you’re undetectable for x seconds at the start of the trial and make all undetectable effects linger for 5 additional seconds
26 -
Love Pyramid's head addons 😍 Finally those are interesting
10 -
Why is the PTB almost 42 GB this time 😭 I need forever to download it...
2 -
Teamwork: Toughen Up is just a better Self-Preservation. Longer duration and bigger range.
Whenever another Survivor is hit with a Basic Attack or Special Attack within 16 metresy of you, Self-Preservation activates:
Scratch Marks, Grunts of Pain when injured, and Bleeding are suppressed for the next 6/8/10 seconds.
-1 -
In terms of perks. Franklin changes are awful, the rest is okay. In terms of killer update Jailor is now useless
13 -
4 second jailer standard spawn, this has to be a prank bro…
13 -
Some of these changes look phenomenal. Others feel a bit "if you stun a killer from the northeast on a day with a T in its name," but I'm imagining those will mostly be ironed out. Overall solid stuff here
5 -
Insidious getting a literal 1 second buff is laughable. Just rework it.
7 -
They really gave Rick a perk that just gives him masquerade pallets lol
5 -
We updated the engine, which resulted in a larger-than-usual install size this time around.
6 -
Would love to know specifics here. Which aspect of the Franklin's change isn't playing well for you?
-8 -
Thanks for the kind words! If you don't mind me asking, which changes would you say are falling into the latter category?
-2 -
Franklins only being useful in terms of dealing with survivors items (toolbox, medkits, flashlights - specially them). But now the only thing why people even bring this perk is gone. And about jailer you overnerfed him, he is still very slow and cannot catch survivors and now cant even let them busy cause 4 seconds.
15 -
Not sure why Blood Amber got nerfed and had its Rarity increased. It is fine as it currently is.
Maps would have been cool if they had a Rookie Spirit type effect where my team can see the Aura of progress while being Channeled. Some Killers can do it with Add-Ons.
4 -
Fixed an issue where using a Killer power to vault would trigger the Unbound perk.
That is a shame. This perk was already underwhelming. This bug at least gave it some nice synergy with a handful of killers. These kinds of nerfs/bug fixes really limit build variety. Why not allow perks to interact with killer powers?
8 -
This is absolutely feedback I can bring back to the team - both regarding Franklin's and the Jailer.
With regards with the standard spawns, though, I'd be interested to see if the spawn times still feels too quick when the extended times for longer paths is factored in during testing. While it is 4 seconds on the short end for the Jailer and Assassin, this can be extended up to 8 seconds by drawing a longer path.
-5 -
Brother 8 seconds is nothing. You waste more time setting up the hunt, than survivors will waste running in a circle and grabbing the standard.
It makes hunts objectively weaker when they were already mediocre to begin with. These changes take a B tier killer, borderline C tier if the survivors are even remotely aware of the counterplay. And make him straight up D tier, he's abysmal now. You're forced to cause double teams because hunts do nothing anymore.
9 -
I don't like the clown and knight changes. They feel really bad and frustrating. Clown didn't need to be nerfed at all
9 -
Wow. A whole 8 seconds. Down from 20.
7 -
Thanks for answering. I think if Carnifex is 8 sex and Assasin is 4 i think it would be fair make Jailer 6 sec as middle ground. But that just my opinion of course
-3 -
Not really changes so much as some of the new perks feeling a bit too niche in how and when they might be used - Toughen Up feels like you're depending on your teammates to know you have it and play around you to get value (favoring SWFS while being underwhelming for solos), and the setup and stipulations on Conviction make it feel like an overall less useful version of Unbreakable. I've yet to actually play the PTB though, so maybe the use cases will become more apparent with actual testing
2 -
you guys had 6 perk slots to fill
5 of them are way to situational or overshadowed by better perks like come and get me
being way worse then babysitter
or
are just more random swf ampifiers that isnt even needed, if you die after a pallet save, (equvelant of getting a free ds)
then you probably need more experince then a perk saving and crutching you up, might also because the maps are horrid and there is no loops in sight like in coldwind farms.
i doubt conviction, my favorite out of the bunch, gets to stay as it is, if killers get their way of whining a perk into uselessness like wake up or shoulder the burden got. not even a week base meta like thrill or wglf.the fog item is somehow a downgrade from the event items we got, so great job on that.
i know it has been said in the discord that its not supposed to be a "get ouf of jail free card"
but how is it supposed to be used then?,
including how not even an hour into ptb, the fog seemingly is very situational and only benefits builds that already hides for you with lucky break.
I doubt this will stay any use after post ptb, since killers whine every time stealth is remotely mentioned.
if it does for a while, great, but i know its only a matter of time until it also goes to the chopping board.
i hope the basekit changes for survivor are better.-2 -
This content has been removed.

May I ask what exactly that Oni change means? I'm a little confused what that change means
3 -
Do you have to rummage in 2 chests per fragile pallet or once you have done 2 you can make as many as you like?
I mean.... nobody is going to use this perk as the party pallets in the event are awful and they're free. Who thought this was a perk anyone in DBD wanted?
The single 3 second fast vault stunning for an entire match is laughable too. Why would I use an entire perk slot for this?
2 survivors I won't be buying.
4 -
The changes to the clown's bottles shows a lack of understanding of when and why they were actually used. Most of the time you don't want to use the fast gas- it's a very niche thing basically for catching someone before they got to a vault in certain map squares, because if you use it too much then you buff the survs more than yourself.. The slow gas is Clown's bread and butter for good reason.
The Knight nerfs are going to make him even more dumpster tier than before. No one's chasing with Carnifex, jesus.14 -
So no negan as a killer?
4 -
Yes im a killer main. But play Survivor with friends. I feel like doing away with the whole emptying charges things isn't a good idea. I feel like Franklin's should still make the item lose charges. Just either not as fast, or lose a precentage when knocked out a Survivors hands. As in real life an item would probably be damaged anyway.
2 -
Well…
Keys are useless now.
At least for the purpose of seeing the killer's aura.
My friend used Exultation to farm Skeleton Keys (more than 700) and he now sees he only lost a colossal amount of time.3 -
No. There is no killer with this.
-3 -
You're not even trying anymore with survivor perks, you really have to be a fan to buy these ones
11 -
As mentioned above, I'm taking note of this feedback to bring back to the team. Thanks!
6 -
New Perk: Apocalyptic Ingenuity- After unlocking or rummaging through
2/2/2chests, press the Ability Button 1 for8/8/8 secondsnext to a broken pallet to build a fragile pallet.
Does this mean I can infinitely rebuild pallets after opening two chests or only once?
0 - After unlocking or rummaging through
-
Will we get compensated for the addons that we will lose?
13 -
Otz tested it on stream. Its 1 pallet, and it is essentially the party pallets that auto-break.
9 -
Thanks for the clarification. One pallet is so bad especially when requiring chests, which only 3 spawn on a map. Either make it gen progress or chase time or don‘t give it a requirement. Party pallets aren‘t strong. They are pretty bad and very easy to deal with as killer.
10 -
Wow this is disappointing looking. Clown got kicked in the soft spot hard. The Pig changes are weak af. The survivor perks are awful. The key and map reworks are pretty damn bad. Not to mention for some reason were going to be stuck with a bunch of addons we can literally no longer use. They'll just sit there reminding use of the blood points we wasted on them.
15 -
I'd love to dig into the specifics of what you're getting at here. Would you be able to elaborate on what's causing frustration for you regarding keys and Killer aura reveals here? And is there something specific regarding the Skeleton Key?
I want to make sure I have an accurate read on your feedback before bringing it back to the team.

new players will never know the confusion of seeing messiah Jeff glowing in the crystal bead

So it's official you do want to kill the game.

Hey Devs I had a Question. Will bots not go in Circles on a Loop anymore and be Able to be Fooled Dearing Loops.
I also was wondering will this Apply to Killer Props like The Onryos TVs, The Unknowns Hallucinations, Trappers Traps will be able to be hidden without the Bot Disabling them When they Shouldn't be able to them.

Why was it even made in the first place. Do you guys play this game? Honest question…every killer "buff" is basically a nerf. You buff something by 0.1 that no one cares about and gut the best parts. I honestly don't know why any one boots up killer anymore. Games cooked.

I like all the new and different add-ons you guys made for Pyramid Head but why isn't there an add-on that inflicts Survivors with Torment have they have been hit with h Punishment of the Damned? You guys tried that out on a PTB and I know people didn't like it as Basekit but an add-on would be okay.

I mean killer is the easiest it has ever been and the survival rates show that but sure...

It isn't even "so bad" it's probably one of the most useless perks in the game alongside that one where you can get yourself up off the floor for 30 seconds before going back down.
In solo queue if anyone beats you to the chests, dead perk slot.
If you do get the chests you can make one garbage pallet in an entire game. They're crap in the event and you get given them for free every minute or so. Why would anyone ever consider running this perk outside of adept?
It does make me worry they will give killers remote hook and pallet break as perks shortly though, of course that wouldn't be limited to once per match and will have zero activation requirements.

Hey.
Thanks for replying. 😁
The best use for the key was to see the killer's aura using the Amber add-on, but now this is basically ruined. Now you can only see it for 2s PER CHARGE and the killer ALSO sees you. My friend farmed more than 700 keys with the sole purpose of making Skeleton Keys + Amber his, let's say, default item in his most used builds and now this combo became basically useless.
With the current patch we can see the killer's aura for a max of 22,5 seconds with the Skeleton Key + Amber + Beads, we can even use it for like half a second if we are fast on our fingers to deactivate it fast enough (making the duration go as far as 45s) AND the killer CAN'T see your aura.
Skeleton Keys were the highest rarity and had 30s of use. It was way more than the other two keys and, of course, took two pallet stuns per trial to get one using Exultation.
With the purposed changes currently on PTB keys became borderline useless aside some meme builds that people will tire off pretty fast.
If you want to see survs auras you just need to use one of the retired add-ons for example.
Nobody is bringing it just to unlock chests faster or the other functionalities you guys added.8 -
I agree with the blood amber
