Behaviour Interactive have fired up the generators for yet another Dead By Daylight update. Whether you fancy stalking Survivors or working together to thwart a terrifying Killer, you’ll need to download this latest version of the hit horror game.
Dead By Daylight 4.2.2 – which will show up as 2.03 for console players – is a quick bugfix patch that doesn’t add any new content to the game but makes some minor improvements.
Aside from fixing a small list of issues, this new patch has improved the viability of Dead By Daylight’s newest Killer, The Blight. They can now break pallets and other barricades during their Lethal Dash.
All Killers in Dead By Daylight have the same primary actions but are made unique through their combination of powers and other traits, such as passive bonuses. The Blight can store up to 5 tokens allowing them to rush small distances to close the gap with escaping Survivors. However, if you finish this rush by slamming into a wall, you can immediately combo it into another rush, allowing you to cover more ground without pausing. This supercharged rush can also lead into an attack animation (the Lethal Dash).
The Blight and Survivor Felix Richter were both added to the game recently for its newest chapter “Descend Below”. Anyway, here are those patch notes:
