Developer and publisher Behaviour Interactive’s multiplayer horror game, Dead by Daylight, is consistently one of the most played games on Steam (currently sitting in the top 20 according to SteamDB). As such, the company consistently adds brand-new content to the game to keep the scares fresh for players around the globe, as well as make adjustments to smooth out some of the rough edges that may occur when adding new ways to play the game. The latest Dead by Daylight update is of the latter, as it has already made changes to one of its most recent killer additions.
That killer is none other than Five Nights at Freddy’s own Springtrap, known as The Animatronic in Dead by Daylight. The latest update, which focuses on bug fixes and gameplay adjustments, adds some nerfs and buffs to the killer. Specifically, Security Guard’s Badge, Streamers, and Bonnie’s Guitar Strings all get nerfs. However, Party Hat, Foxy’s Hook, and Endo CPU all get buffs, making them solid add-ons for the killer.
Here are the full patch notes for Dead by Daylight Update 9.0.2:
