Dead by Daylight Update 6.1.2/6.1.3 Balances Four Perks and Re-Enables the Clown

Dead by Daylight received two patches recently. Patch 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 are live and feature balancing changes and bug fixes; the patch version will depend on the platform. However, do not worry, cross-play will still work and you will be able to play with your friends.

The Dead Man's Switch was tweaked. Its activation duration has decreased to 20/25/30 seconds from the previous 35/40/45 seconds. When using Pain Resonance, survivors who are repairing the affected generated will now be interrupted. However, the killer won’t be notified of this. The patch reworks the Mettle of Man perk to make sure that it works correctly with Endurance.

• Decreased the penalty per injured, dying, or hooked Survivor to 1%/1.5%/2% (was 4.5%/5%/5.5%)
• Added: If there are 4 injured, dying, or hooked Survivors, there is an additional 12% penalty to repair, sabotage, and Totem-cleansing speeds

• After you earn 2 Protection Hit scoring event, the perk activates. Once activated, you gain the Endurance status effect. As long as you have Endurance, your aura will be revealed to the Killer when you are further than 12/14/16 meters from the Killer. Mettle of Man will deactivate once Endurance is lost

• Fixed an issue that caused generators regressing from the Damage Generator interaction to stop regressing upon ending Feral Frenzy with the Fuming Mixtape add-on
