Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

AUG 2025 Dev Update

In my opinion this update will be bad for the health of the game. The reason I say that is because you are deliberately taking power away from the power roll of this asymmetrical game. I totally understand wanting to disincentivize tunneling and slugging, but I think the way BHVR is going about that is unhealthy. Giving rewards to the killer for not tunneling or slugging is a good idea, actively punishing them for tunneling or slugging is just a horrible Idea. With only one exception I can think of, taking power away from the power roll is how every single Asymmetrical PVP game has died. This update may seem good on paper, but mark my words all this update is going to do is further divide the player base and create more frustration.

    yeah worst changes i ever seen and very shortsighted dont need PTB to know how bad it will be the fact they dont even give numbers is another huge red flag like how long are the extra basekit for survivors going to last or how strong is the extra gen kick (should be map wide not gen kick)

    Im kinda exhausted of this game and the shortsightness of the devs and the worst thing is they can get away with this as they dont have any competition to actually force them to heathly balance the game i wish a game does come up and forces them to step up like Rivials did for overwatch.

    But yeah im done with this game cause once again they are dealing with symptoms and not root causes of the issue of the game and getting poor information on what the game needs
