Introduction:

Dead by Daylight is a popular asymmetrical multiplayer game developed by Behaviour Interactive. In this game, players can choose to play as a survivor or a killer. The objective of the survivors is to escape the killer and the objective of the killer is to sacrifice all the survivors. Dead by Daylight has gained a massive following since its release and continues to receive regular updates and patches.

The latest patch, Update 5.0.0, brings a lot of changes to the game including improvements to animations, new survivor perks, changes to the map, and much more. In this article, we will be going over the patch notes for Dead by Daylight Update 5.0.0 in detail.

Animations:

The animations in Dead by Daylight have always been a point of contention for players. In Update 5.0.0, Behaviour Interactive has made significant improvements to the animations to make them feel more responsive and fluid. Here are some of the changes made to the animations in Dead by Daylight:

1. Vaulting Animation:

The vaulting animation has been updated to make it feel more responsive. The animation now starts earlier and finishes later, making it easier for players to predict when they will be safe from the killer. This change should make vaulting feel more consistent and less frustrating for survivors.

2. Pallet Drop Animation:

The pallet drop animation has also been updated to make it feel more responsive. The animation now starts earlier and finishes later, making it easier for players to time their pallet drops and avoid getting hit by the killer. This change should make pallet looping feel less frustrating for survivors.

3. Killer Animations:

The animations for the killers have also been updated to make them feel more responsive. The animations for attacking and grabbing survivors have been improved to make them feel more fluid and less jarring. This change should make playing as a killer feel more satisfying and less frustrating.

Survivors:

In addition to the animation changes, Update 5.0.0 also brings new survivor perks and changes to existing survivor perks. Here are some of the changes made to the survivor perks in Dead by Daylight:

1. Buckle Up:

The Buckle Up perk has been reworked to make it more useful. Previously, the perk allowed players to see the auras of other survivors when they were being healed. Now, the perk allows players to see the auras of all injured survivors, not just the ones being healed. This change should make Buckle Up a more useful perk for survivors.

2. Calm Spirit:

The Calm Spirit perk has also been reworked to make it more useful. Previously, the perk reduced the chances of crows flying around survivors. Now, the perk also reduces the chances of survivors triggering the Doctor’s static blast and the Hag’s traps. This change should make Calm Spirit a more useful perk for survivors, especially when facing certain killers.

3. Inner Strength:

The Inner Strength perk has been buffed to make it more powerful. Previously, the bonus allowed players to heal themselves in a locker after cleansing a totem. Now, the perk also allows players to heal themselves in a locker after completing a generator. This change should make Inner Strength a more useful bonus for survivors, especially when playing solo.

Map Changes:

Update 5.0.0 also brings changes to the maps in Dead by Daylight. Here are some of the changes made to the maps:

1. Coal Tower:

The Coal Tower map has been reworked to make it more balanced for both survivors and killers. The layout of the map has been changed to make it easier for survivors to navigate and more difficult for killers to trapped survivors.

2. Blood Lodge:

The Blood Lodge map has also been reworked to make it more balanced. The layout of the map has
