Dead by Daylight Patch 7.7.1 Updates Ultimate Weapon and Fixes The Twins
Dead by Daylight patch 7.7.1 ties Ultimate Weapon to lockers, fixes Victor bugs, and cleans up map collisions.
Behavior Interactive deployed patch 7.7.1 for Dead by Daylight, reworking a prominent perk and fixing dozens of bugs ahead of the Chaos Shuffle modifier event.
Perk Changes
The Ultimate Weapon perk triggers when survivors are within 32 meters of a locker, revealing positions based on the locker instead of the Killer. It still inflicts Blindness for 30 seconds. Toolboxes lose charges correctly when feeding the Potential Energy perk.
Character and Killer Fixes
Victor glows red after downing an injured survivor with a pounce attack to show he can be crushed, and he cannot latch onto survivors with the Endurance status effect. The 30-second recall restriction functions correctly, and movement rubber-banding is addressed. The Nurse suffers pallet stuns properly, and the Xenomorph hits survivors placing turrets with tail attacks.
Map and Collision Corrections
Developers fixed map collision bugs across multiple arenas. On Nostromo, the Nurse no longer blinks into the spaceship hull. On Raccoon Police Department, players cannot climb onto duffle bags or toilets, and the Trapper cannot hide bear traps in library debris. Hawkins Laboratory navigation snags and Haddonfield car mirror collisions are resolved.
Audio and UI Fixes
Audio issues in Mori previews for The Nightmare and Wraith are fixed, and Naughty Bear no longer plays overlapping voice lines. UI bugs causing overlapping button prompts when returning to the main menu from an offline Killer lobby are corrected, alongside missing Killer names in daily rituals.
Why this patch matters
Patch 7.7.1 dials back Ultimate Weapon's map-wide utility while clearing out dozens of frustrating character bugs, invisible collisions, and map exploits.
