Dead by Daylight PTB patch 6.2.0 official notes

1) Features

New Killer – The Mastermind

New Perk: Superior Anatomy

When a survivor performs a fast vault within eight meters of you, this perk activates. The next time you vault a window, your vaulting speed is increased by 30%/35%/40%. This perk deactivates after vaulting a window. This perk has a 30-second cooldown.

New Perk: Awakened Awareness

When carrying a survivor, you can see the aura of other survivors within 16/18/20 meters of your position. Auras revealed this way linger for two seconds after you stop carrying the survivor.

New Perk: Terminus

When exit gates are powered, this perk activates. While the perk is active, injured, downed, and hooked survivors are inflicted with the broken status effect until exit gates are open. When exit gates are open, survivors will stay broken for an additional 20/25/30 seconds.

New Survivor – Ada Wong

New Perk: Wiretap

After repairing Generators for a total of 33%, this perk activates. After repairing a Generator for at least three seconds, press the Ability button to install a spy trap, which stays active for 60/70/80 seconds. The aura of the trapped generator is revealed in yellow to all Survivors. When the Killer comes within 14 meters of the trapped generator, their aura is revealed to all Survivors. Damaging the generator destroys the Wiretap.

New Perk: Reactive Healing

When another survivor loses a health state in a 32-meter radius around you while you are injured, instantly increase your healing progression by 25%/30%/35% of the missing healing progression.

New Perk: Low Profile

When you become the last Survivor, this perk activates. Hide your scratch marks and pools of blood for 70/80/90 seconds.

New Survivor – Rebecca Chambers

New Perk: Better Than New

Upon completing a healing action on another survivor, the targeted survivor gets a 6% speed boost to generator repair, healing, chest opening, and totem cleansing for 25/30/35 seconds.

New Perk: Reassurance

When within a six-meter radius around a hooked survivor, use the Active Ability Button 2 to pause their struggle progression for 20/25/30 seconds. If they are on the struggle phase, it also pauses the Struggle Skill Checks. This perk has a 40-second cooldown.

New Perk: Hyper Focus

After hitting a great Skill Check while repairing or healing, this perk gains one token, up to six tokens. Each token increases the chance of Skill Check trigger by 2%, the Skill Check cursor speed by 4% and the bonus progression for great Skill Checks by 10%/20%/30% of its base value. The perk loses all tokens in case of normal Skill Check success, Skill Check fail, or if you stop performing the action by any means.

New Features: Streamer Options (PC Only)

These privacy options are available under the Privacy section of the General tab in the Options menu and are intended to help reduce targeting and harassment of players who stream the game.

Anonymous Mode

Replaces your account name with your selected character’s name for other players. Players in your group will still see your account name.

Hide Your Name

Replaces your own name with your selected character’s name on your own screen. Elsewhere in the menus, your account name will appear as “You” and be hidden in your Friend List.

Hide Other Player Names

Replaces other player names with their selected character’s name.

Hidden Matchmaking Delay

Adds a short, random delay when entering the matchmaking queue to prevent targeted in-game harassment.

Improved Feature: HUD Connection Indicators

The in-game connection indicator has been improved to show more detailed information during connection issues stemming from ping and packet loss

Ping is represented by a vertical bar icon

Yellow = Ping over 100ms
Network = Ping over 200ms

Packet Loss is represented by a double-diamond icon

Yellow = 2%-5% packet loss
Network = More than 5% packet loss
For Killer issues: A unique red icon appears above the Survivor List for Survivors
For Survivor issues: A red bar appears next to their name on the Survivor List

A photosensitivity warning has been added to the boot sequence of the game

2) content

The Racoon City Police Station map has been split into two separate layouts:

Raccoon City Police Station East Wing
Raccoon City Police Station West Wing

Both maps feature new openings to make it easier than ever to navigate, wider hallways to improve gameplay, and are much smaller than the original version.
