Killer Power - Scent of Blood
The Houndmaster and her dog operate as one. Her commands are followed without question or delay.

Special Ability: Chase
The Chase Command sends the dog out at high speed. Pressing the Power button again redirects the Chase, pivoting the dog's path. When the dog catches a Survivor, the dog starts a Grab. The Survivor becomes Hindered and is pulled toward The Houndmaster. The Survivor can get free by stunning the dog or can be rescued by another Survivor. Grabs that end without Injury leave the Survivor Hindered. Grab duration is shorter for Survivors with the Endurance status effect.

Special Ability: Search
The Search Command sends the dog to a target location, creating a Search Path. It has its own lullaby and, as it moves, its Houndsense radius rises over distance traveled. Survivors who enter the radius are affected by Houndsense and revealed by Killer Instinct. If The Houndmaster follows the dog’s Search Path, she gains increased movement speed over time. Leaving the Search Path ends the bonus movement speed.

Special Effect: Houndsense
Healthy Survivors affected by Houndsense receive Deep Wounds when Injured. Injured Survivors affected by Houndsense suffer from louder Grunts of Pain and longer Pools of Blood when put into the Dying state.

New Killer Perks:

• All-Shaking Thunder
  After you fall from a height, your lunge attack distance is increased by 75/75/75% for 8/12/16 seconds.
  This perk has a 5/5/5-second cooldown.
  
  
• Scourge Hook: Jagged Compass
  At the start of the trial, up to 4 random hooks are changed into scourge hooks. You see their auras in white.
  When a Survivor is unhooked from a non-scourge hook, it becomes a scourge hook.
  When you hook a Survivor on a Scourge Hook, the aura of the generator with the most progress is revealed in yellow for 6/8/10 seconds.
  
  
• No Quarter
  When a Survivor reaches 75/75/75% of a self-heal, they are faced with continuous skill checks.
  If one of these skill checks is missed or the heal is interrupted, the Survivor becomes broken for 20/25/30 seconds.

New Survivor Perks:

• Invocation: Treacherous Crows
  When in the Basement near the circle, press the ability button 2 to begin the Invocation.
  Invocations take 60/60/60 seconds. Other Survivors will see your aura during this and can join an ongoing interaction.
  Once the Invocation is completed:
  You become injured and broken for the rest of the trial.
  When a Survivor is in the Terror Radius and the Killer scares a crow, their aura is revealed to all Survivors for 1/1.5/2 seconds.
  Completing the Invocation disables that perk for all Survivors.
  
  
• Clean Break
  After you finish healing another Survivor, while being healed by another Survivor, press the ability button 1 to gain broken.
  After 80/70/60 seconds, you become healthy.
  This perk does not activate if your are already broken. The effect is cancelled if you go in the dying state.
  
  
• Shoulder the Burden
  Once per trial, as long as you are not on death hook, press the ability button 2 in front of a hooked Survivor to unhook them.
  When they are unhooked, they lose 1 hook state and you gain 1 hook state. You also scream and become Exposed for 30/25/20 seconds.

THE NIGHTMARE AND THE SKULL MERCHANT ARE DISABLED FOR THE COURSE OF THIS PTB

STEAM PLAYERS: Time is running out to get this bundle!

Whether you're looking to take your first steps into The Fog, or already own either Dead by Daylight or The Casting of Frank Stone, check out the time-limited World of Dead by Daylight Bundle for some spooky savings.
Offer ends November 4th 1700 UTC.

https://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/bundle/45841/World_of_Dead_by_Daylight/

We’ve been flooded with requests for 2v8 data, so we’re happy to deliver! For starters, over seven million matches of 2v8 were played during the event period. (For context, this is a lot!)

We’ve been hard at work on the second version of 2v8, so keep your eyes peeled for more information about the mode in the coming weeks.

If The Huntress’ lullaby haunts your dreams, it’s probably because she was the most popular Killer this time around.

You’re probably wondering which Killers made the deadliest teams, so we crunched the numbers and found the top three pairs.

Not to be left out, we’ve also grabbed the numbers for all the Survivor Classes. Escapist was the clear the favourite, though all Classes saw a decent amount of play.

A little while ago, we made some tweaks to The Singularity to make it a bit more approachable.

How does this compare to before the update? Firstly, the number of matches played went way up, previously only 122,861 over a similar period. The number of slipstreams went up slightly from 11.5, while the number of EMPs used decreased from 6.5.

If only they had some sunglasses… We’ve pulled the average number of Flashlight blinds & saves per match. These figures only include matches where someone brings a Flashlight into the trial.

As you can imagine, these numbers are much lower when nobody brings one into the match and instead finds one in a chest, dropping to 0.18 blinds and 0.03 saves.

Please note: These are per match averages, not per Survivor averages!

Do Survivors heal themselves more than they heal others? Spoiler: No. Not even close. Altruistic heals more than double the number of self-heals on average. Some even take the altruism a step further by using their own body as a meat shield around twice per match.

Please note: These are once again per match averages, not per Survivor averages!



Until next time…
