They didn't say anything new but the official date of release "March 10th" and they showed the killer and survivors as we already knew them, no buffs or changes officially comming for him yet, for now I guess he's staying just as he was in the PTB.
Killer explanation go to 31:26
Map go to 34:24
How the harpoon works go to 39:07
Killer perks go to 45:08
Survivor perks go to 48:38
Official Release date (March 10th) go to 52:50
@Pythonheir "They talked about what's expected to come, and where some of the ideas came from when planning Caleb Quinn and Zarina. Some thought process behind the new map. Descriptions of abilities, and perks."

"no buffs or changes comming for him"
God... Oni got tweaks at release, Demo got tweaks at release, BHVrR is seriously leaving Deathslinger alone despite the issues present? Do they play their own game?

Low-tier ahoy!

From the studio that brought you Clown "who is fine btw", Pig "who needs more nerfs btw", and Legion "who is in a good spot btw", we give you...
Deathslinger "who doesn't need post-PTB tweaks btw"!

We also discovered Mathieu Cote learned how to do magic to magically make Guillaume appear.
@not_Queen Promised to give us a recording of them speaking french for 3 hours.
Deffiently promised, don't believe a word that they say.0 -
Yes I'm adding this to the post quoting you, thanks

That’s actually very disappointing for me. I found deathslinger very underwhelming even with good aim/perks. I was hoping for some tweaks, but I’ll probably wait awhile longer before getting him then.

Same

I am very disappointed he is not getting any adjustments from the PTB to release. Did they say why they were not making any changes to an arguably very weak Killer?
1 -
I'd like to know that too.

Does it mention anything about sabo changed
0 -
What did I do.
Imma have to stream in french. 😶
7 -
Where did they say there would be no changes for him on release?
I didn't catch them saying that
2 -
is anything from the ptb gonna be changed 😔
0 -
I think you can be quite decent at him.
But remember this: good aim doesnt do ######### if hitboxes dont match survivior models.
You need to remember how it looks like and act based on that
(Will add picture as soon as this ######### starts working)

Ok, quick summary (some are quotes, some are me explaining what they said, you figure it out)
Guns are cool.
Joked about pirates next, also ninjas.
Talked about the deathslinger's character.
It's really responsive, it's fast (the gun).
Talked about zarina.
Go read the backstory, it's cool and more detailed.
Talked about the map.
It's a new style of map.
Maps can be different now (doors, etc).
Talked about breakable walls.
It's very impactiful and needs extra testing.
We didn't understand map design at the start as we do now, so we gotta be careful implementing it (the breakable walls).
Map is illuminated differently.
Cringe/cool transition of cohost.
Players will feel confortable with the deathslinger if they player another fps before.
Nothing is easy in dbd.
Normal gun wouldn't be fun (too fast/easy).
After hitting the shot "it's pretty done".
Struggling against getting pulled and blocking the chain add to each other.
You gotta earn the bounty (why just hitting a shot won't down an injured survivor).
Perks.
They can't really test all combinations avaiable.
Gearhead, no time revealed "short duration".
Dms, same.
Hex:retribution, same.
Off the record, looks the same.
Red herring, lenghty cooldown, no number given.
For the people, same.
I don't remeber them saying nothing was changed about the gunslinger from ptb

Did they mention anything about the Doctor buffs? I'm really excited for them (more excited for them than the new Chapter actually) and I'm worried that they're going to end up not going live for whatever reason.
1 -
Did they say anything about Hangman's Trick?
0 -
Sigh. I haven't played since the Plague chapter and the Deathslinger's aesthetic got me interested in the game again. The lack of changes to his PTB strength is disheartening. Guess I'll have to keep waiting.

"Players will feel confortable with the deathslinger if they player another fps before."
HAHAHA
Just a week ago or so, one of the devs told me that "there is no need to make hitboxes more accurate, because DBD is not a precision based game" a now they compare Deathslinger gameplay to FPS games lmao
PLEASE SHOW ME 1 SHOOTER GAME (with similiar player base to DBD) THAT HAS PILL-SHAPED HITBOXES LIKE DBD

Damn kinda scary how fast misconception spreads
They didn't mention anything in the stream if the deathslinger is going to get changed or not from the ptb

Nope

Can someone timestamp where they talk about the big one - the sabo change, please?
I'd like to take a look after work :)

Clown and Legion ARE good tho. Youbmeed to know what you are doing when playing them.

I'm so excited for this!!!!
Said nobody ever...

I was shocked to see zero mention of the Sabo changes in this chapter preview.

@Carlosylu You are missing the timestamp -25:57 start of the stream :)
There were no mentionings on the Doc and perk changes because it only covered the new content, not the PTB. And as it was pretty obvious that it was not a live stream, I don't know how old the video was. What confused me was, that Guillaume said "Gearhead takes 2 hits to activate" and the text shown said "3 hits". Not sure if this is a typo or if it IS a change to the PTB.
And as it was a video with 'unknown age', it is possible that they were not even aware or decided about any changes that need to be done to the PTB (if the PTB even started at that point). If the "3 hits" condition is a change, that could be done also after the video was made as overlay. Although I hope this does not happen, as I think Gearhead is already a weaker information perk.

Maybe I explained myself badly, I didn't mean to say they literally said no changes are comming, but the fact that they didn't mention any changes to him, so, for now, he's staying just as he was in the PTB. Sorry if I didn't make myslef clear, gonna edit to be more accurate.

Clown and Legion... good? What alternate timeline DBD are you playing? It's no secret that Clown and Legion are objectively the two worst killers in the game. You can know what you're doing as Clown and Legion and still end up with a 1K. No map pressure for either, Clown's power barely stops loops, Legion's stun is so punishing using their power is more of a hinderance, neither power has any lethality, Deep Wounds is a joke of a status effect, Intoxication is too, causes more headaches than downs at this point. Can you have fun with them? Yes, absolutely. Are they strong? As far from it as possible.

I think you just answered to a bait comment, I don't believe he was serious... I mean... I hope he wasn't serious...
2 -
why? those changes arent included in the chapter, they just happened to come in the same patch but the chapter only have 1 killer, 1 survivor and 1 map. the rest are only in the same patch
0 -
at the very end of it. The guy was talking about well time to get back to work on the other one.... then Mathew says oh can you tell us anything about it? Sure well.... *technical difficulties* end of stream. jejejej

I main Clown and Legion as a rank 1 killer and never have bad results with them. If you think they are that bad, it could be that everyone doesn't play them right or makes too many mistakes. I see too many Clowns wasting their bottles before they even reach a loop, let alone not aim them towards a survivor if their plan is to slow them down.
Legion's power relies on the Deep Wound effect, that promotes anti-gen gameplay as you hit as many survivors you can with Frenzy. I will say the Deep Wound status effect is indeed weak, because an inflicted survivor can still do a gen for a brief amount of time before it falls too low, which is bad. They need to really reduce the base time of Deep Wound on Legion's power. THEN DW would be a real threat.
