Perk changes, loadouts & matchmaking incentives in Dead by Daylight

A highly-requested feature within the DBD community, preset loadouts have just been revealed alongside a slew of Perk adjustments and matchmaking incentives.

Close to 40 Killer and Survivor-based Perks will be receiving a facelift soon, which are set to arrive “in the coming months”, including Barbeque & Chili and Dead Hard.

If you’ve ever wanted to save particular loadouts, now is the time to get excited, as this feature is available to try out on the PTB as of May 17, 2022. You’ll be able to do everything from configuring items to cosmetics and the particular Perks themselves.

Following in the vein of other multiplayer titles, DBD will also be adding matchmaking incentives in an effort to speed up times between matches. If you decide to play a particular highlighted role for a game depending on what’s needed, you’ll receive a Bloodpoints bonus that you can spend on leveling up a character’s Bloodweb.
