Dead by Daylight – Dev Update | 10.2.0 Perks Update

Summary

Greetings, Fog Dwellers. Today we wanted to talk to you about some of the perk changes (spoiler alert: 58 perks are changing) and content that you can expect in the next PTB, as well as the reasonings behind them.
Back in update 9.6.0, we added Diminishing Returns to the game. You may have noticed that this feature did not ship with exponential balance changes to accompany it; we wanted to ease players into the change, monitoring the impact on perk selection first, while we watch to see if any issues arise before making further changes. We feel that now is the time.
Our ultimate goal is to update effects that bypass or are minimized by Diminishing Returns, and to buff gameplay effects that can safely be affected by Diminishing Returns to allow players to play around with builds and perks that aren’t picked often. Overall, we will have 26 perks affected by these changes. Today, we will start by highlighting two:
*Do No Harm*
*While healing another Survivor for each Hook State they have:*

• *You heal 30/40/50% faster.*
• *Great basic Skill Check, grant 3% more progress.*
• *Increase the odds of triggering a Skill Check by 5%.*

*Dev note: We wanted Do No Harm to better distinguish itself from We'll Make It and other flat healing speed perks. We added a scaling increase Skill Check odds and made the great skill check bonus scale as well. It should find a home with Survivors who like skill checks and skill check perks.*
