The developers from Behaviour Interactive have deployed the latest update for Dead by Daylight. Patch 5.6.1 re-enables the “Wake Up” and “Object of Obsession” perks after fixing some critical bugs.
The Wake Up perk is a teachable perk for Survivors that activate once all Generators are powered up. This particular perk does a few things. For one, the Auras of Exit Gate switches are revealed to you within 128 meters, so you can easily spot them when you’re in range. Additionally, you open Exit Gates 25% faster at max level.
That said, there was a bug in the previous update where Killers suffer a game crash when the Wake Up perk is equipped by Survivors. Furthermore, the Killers would get DC penalties as if they deliberately disconnected from the session.
On the other hand, the Object of Obsession is another teachable Survivor perk where you form a supernatural bond to a Killer. Once this perk is activated, the Killer’s aura is revealed to you and your action speeds are increased as well. However, the game could crash when unhooking a Survivor using the perks Object of Obsession, Aftercare , and Empathic Connection .
A lot of people have been inconvenienced and wrongfully penalized because of that. Fortunately, the issue has been addressed in Patch 5.6.1.
