If you want to get a taste of Dead By Daylight‘s latest Killer or try out the new perks, then you might just get in a new patch early if you access the game’s Public Test Build (PTB).

It’s a great opportunity to test if you like a character or try someone before buying them. For the Dead by Daylight team, getting some early feedback on a particular Killer or Survivor before they make their way into the official game is a good idea. However, you’ll need to do a few things before you can jump into the game’s PTB. Here’s what you need to know about how to set that up.

All changes to Freddy Krueger The Nightmare in Dead by Daylighthttps://dotesports.com/dead-by-daylight/news/all-changes-to-freddy-krueger-the-nightmare-in-dead-by-daylighthttps://dotesports.com/dead-by-daylight/news/all-changes-to-freddy-krueger-the-nightmare-in-dead-by-daylight#respondTue, 07 Jan 2025 19:11:30 +0000https://dotesports.com/?p=1490575Freddy Krueger received an update in Dead by Daylight, and the living Nightmare of Elm Street works a bit differently than before.]]>

Freddy Krueger has gone through some revisions in Dead by Daylight, and the development team have given this living nightmare a few adjustments and tweaks. The hope behind these changes were to make him a more versatile pick against Survivors, turning him into an even more deadly opponent.

These changes focused on making Freddy Krueger’s Dream World even more deadly while Survivors are awake. The hope was to make fighting against him a consistent threat, rather than feeling that he could only be a true problem when you were asleep. There are multiple changes coming to how you can play as Freddy Krueger, but we have the full breakdown to make stepping into his slashing glove much easier. We’ll be breaking down every change to Freddy Krueger as The Nightmare in DBD, and how you can take advantage of these adjustments.

All Killer skills in Dead by Daylight 2v8 modehttps://dotesports.com/dead-by-daylight/news/all-killer-skills-in-dead-by-daylight-2v8-modehttps://dotesports.com/dead-by-daylight/news/all-killer-skills-in-dead-by-daylight-2v8-mode#respondWed, 13 Nov 2024 20:02:04 +0000https://dotesports.com/?p=1298049What Killer's skills do you want to use against eight Survivors?]]>

A new game mode has come to Dead by Daylight called 2v8, and it has introduced several gameplay changes. In it, two Killers face off against eight Survivors—and the Killers’ perks have swapped for skills to aid them in hunting down other players.

These skills differ from the typical perks you’ve expected to use as a Killer in Dead by Daylight. You can’t swap them out for other skills if you don’t like them. You’ll want to sync with your Killer partner, giving the two of you the best shot of taking down all eight Survivors before they can power up the generators and escape.

Taurie Cain’s perks are curiously altruistic for a Survivor who is an Entity-worshipping attempted murderer. She has an anti-tunnelling perk to sacrifice one of her hook stages for a fellow Survivor, an aura-reading one to aid all teammates, and a self-healing perk so the team can focus on other objectives. We have three recommended perk builds for Taurie Cain in Dead By Daylight to make the most out of each one.

The Houndmaster’s main power comes from her relationship with her dog. With one quick whistle, the hound can be sent out to scout for Survivors, revealing their position, or chase and grab them. It’s a tricky power to master, but once you know how to use the dog effectively, the real fun comes from building decent perks around it.
