Dead by Daylight PTB 5.2 Patch Notes

Dead by Daylight PTB Patch 5.2 brought a brand new killer to the fold, but that's not all. Besides everyone getting a chance to play the Cenobite, Behaviour Entertainment also focused on balancing Nemesis, the last killer added to the game.

Dead by Daylight PTB 5.2 Patch Notes

The Nemesis Update:

• Movement speed while charging Tentacle Strike Tier 3 increased to 4.0m/s (was 3.8m/s)
• Shattered S.T.A.R.S. Badge effect duration increased to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds)
• Iridescent Umbrella Badge effect duration increased to 30 seconds (was 15 seconds, but was erroneously displayed as 12 seconds)
• Ritual of The Nemesis reduced to reaching maximum Mutation Rate one time (was 4)

"The Nemesis came out in a good state, but has been underperforming slightly in higher skill brackets. These players tend to hit Mutation Rate 3 more often, so a buff here should give him a slight boost at that level of play. Additionally, we have buffed two addons that were underperforming to make them more viable, and made the associated ritual less of a pain to complete."
