Patch Notes

6.4.0 | PTB

Important

Progress & save data information has been copied from the Live game to our PTB servers on Oct 25. 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.

Features

New Killer - The Knight
- New Perk - Nowhere to Hide
  - Whenever you damage a generator, reveal the aura of all survivors standing within 24 meters of your position for 3/4/5 seconds.
- New Perk - Hex: Face the Darkness
  - When this Hex is inactive and you injure a Survivor, a Dull Totem becomes lit and hexes that Survivor. When the Hex is active, all other Survivors outside of your Terror Radius will have a chance to scream intermittently, revealing their positions and auras for 2 seconds. Other Survivors also see the aura of the cursed Survivor for 12/10/8 seconds. When the cursed Survivor is downed or returned to full health, the Hex is lifted, and the Hex Totem becomes unlit. Cleansing the Hex totem deactivates Hex: Face the Darkness permanently.
- New Perk - Hubris
  - Whenever you are stunned by a Survivor, that Survivor suffers from the Exposed status effect for 10/15/20 seconds. Hubris has a cooldown of 20 seconds.
New Survivor - Vittorio Toscano
- New Perk - Potential Energy
  - After working on a generator for 12/10/8 uninterrupted seconds, press the Active Ability Button 2 to activate this perk. When this perk is active, repairing the generator will charge this perk instead of making the generator progress. For each 1.5% of generator repair, the perk will gain one token, up to 20 tokens. While this perk has at least one token and you are working on a generator, you can press the Active Ability Button 2 to consume all the tokens and instantly make the generator progress by 1% for each token. This perk then deactivates. If you lose a health state while this perk has at least 1 tokens, the perk will lose all tokens and deactivate. Missing a skill check will also result in some charges lost.
- New Perk - Fogwise
  - Hitting a great Skill Check while repairing a generator reveals the aura of the Killer to you for 4/5/6 seconds.
- New Perk - Quick Gambit
  - When you are chased within 24 meters of any generator, any other Survivor working on that generator receives a 6/7/8% speed boost to the repair action.
Flashlight update
- Finishing a flashlight blind of a Killer who is picking up a Survivor will succeed in rescuing the Survivor if it completes during the last 0.25 seconds of the pickup animation.
- Killers are now immune to blindness while grabbing a Survivor out of a locker.
Bots in Custom Matches
- The host of a Custom Match can add Survivor bots to the game.
