Dead by Daylight 9.5.0 PTB Brings New Map, Survivor, and Huge Trickster Changes

Dead by Daylight 9.5.0 PTB is here, and the fans of the All-Kill chapter are celebrating the launch of the update with a big smile. The update has been given a "sequel" vibe with Ji, Woon Hak getting a complete mechanical overhaul, a dazzling new urban map, and a whole bunch of quality of life features, which the community has been asking for over the years.

The Showman's New Routine: The Trickster & The First

The center of attention in Dead by Daylight 9.5.0 PTB is definitely The Trickster's risky rework. The designers have ditched his regular laceration mechanics for the Style Rank System (from E to S):

• Rewarding Precision: A player is awarded with Style Points when he lands difficult "trick shots" and maintains accuracy.
• Dynamic Buffs: The higher the Style Rank the locker reloads become, significantly faster and blade throw speeds are increased.
• Main Event Activation: To turn on Main Event now, you have to be at S Rank; your rank will be reset once the ability is over.

The update also revamps The First to make sure that the lineup of Killers stays fresh and challenging in the present meta.

New Realm: Trickster's Delusion

The players have the opportunity to walk through a nightmare version of Seoul in the new map, Tricksters' Delusion.

This neon, heavy metropolitan area features a unique aesthetic and a verticality that is in perfect harmony with the dramatic nature of the All, Kill universe.

Survivor New and Perk Overhauls

The update brings a new Survivor, Kwon Tae Young, whose perks, for example, the stacking momentum of Flow State, focus on inspiring 'the efficient completion of objectives'.

Along with the new character, a number of existing perks in Dead by Daylight 9.5.0 PTB are seeing changes to make the game more enjoyable and balanced:

• Fast Track: Changes in the way tokens are earned and used.
• Hex: Crowd Control: The window vault interaction has been changed.
• Self-Preservation: The logic of hiding scratch marks and blood pools has been clarified.

Accessibility and Quality of Life Features

This PTB is a big one in terms of player experience, as it brings several "Features" listed in the patch notes:

• Customizable Aura Colors: An essential accessibility tool that gives players the option to change the color of Generators, Hooks, and other important objects.
• Fog Vial Update: The Fog Vial item has undergone a rendering rework to make sure that visibility is always the same and thus fair on all maps.
