The conditions that were removed are:Survivor Condition - If a Survivor repeatedly recovers from being downedKiller Condition - If no Generator has been completed or worked on for a prolonged windowWe added and adjusted existing conditions to ensure the feature's intentions are being met. The intention behind every option type is as follows:Abandon: Gives a Survivor/Killer the opportunity to leave a Trial if conditions do not promote fair or engaging gameplay (i.e. too many bots). This counts as an MMR draw.Surrender: Gives a Survivor the opportunity to leave a Trial if the outcome is inevitable and unfavourable. This counts as an MMR loss.End Trial: Gives a Killer the opportunity to prematurely end a Trial if the outcome is inevitable and favourable. All remaining bot Survivors are Sacrificed, and the MMR outcome depends on the total match results.ContentDev Note: With this release, we are doing a pass on general perks - the perks new players gain access to when they begin their journey. We want to update them because a lot of them haven't been updated in a long time. Dead by Daylight has changed a lot over the years, so it felt right to adjust these and give them more utility or strength. Between making perk tiers closer in terms of strength, simplification or other improvements, there's something for everyone. Additionally, having released the Diminishing Returns system a few updates ago, we've looked at perks we felt could use some adjustments to account for this system being in the game.Killer Perk UpdatesAgitationWhile carrying a Survivor:You gain 14/16/18% Haste. (was 6/12/18%)Your Terror Radius is 12m larger.Bitter MurmurWhenever a Generator is completed, you see the Auras of Survivors within 20m of it for 10s.

(was when a Survivor instantly stopped repairing a Generator, and 25/30/35s block duration and 50s cooldown)Dev Note: Adding a brief delay before the block can occur will encourage the Killer to pressure the generator they want to defend, which we suspect will lead to more interactivity between both sides.DeerstalkerEvery 40/35/30s, the Survivor with the least time in chase sees your Aura for 4s. (was 3s)While a Survivor sees your Aura, you see their Aura.Dissolution3s after a Survivor takes damage from a basic-attack, for 13/14/15s, the next time a Survivor fast-vaults a Pallet while within your Terror Radius, it is destroyed.
