Dead by Daylight Patch 9.0.2 Adjusts Animatronic Add-Ons and Fixes Character Bugs
Dead by Daylight patch 9.0.2 implements balance adjustments for The Animatronic add-ons, altering values for items such as the Security Guard's Badge and Bonnie's Guitar Strings. The update addresses a wide array of character bugs affecting The Artist, The Ghoul, and The Nightmare.
Behavior Interactive has released patch 9.0.2 for Dead by Daylight, bringing statistical adjustments to The Animatronic add-ons alongside a list of bug fixes for killers, survivors, maps, and challenges.
Animatronic Add-On Adjustments
The Security Guard's Badge effect drops to 25 percent from 50 percent, and Streamers decreases to 15 percent from 20 percent. Party Hat duration moves to minus 20 percent from minus 50 percent, while Bonnie's Guitar Strings decreases undetectable duration to minus 100 percent from minus 50 percent. Foxy's Hook duration increases to 6 seconds from 3 seconds, and Endo CPU break speeds increase to 40 percent from 25 percent.
Character and Killer Fixes
The Dark Lord can no longer see Survivor Invitation Orbs while in Bat form. The Artist's Dire crows now reduce health states on swarmed survivors instead of triggering killer instinct, and her projectile speeds are consistent across angles. The Ghoul's grab-attack no longer triggers camera stuttering or leaves survivors stuck, and missed blink stutters for The Nurse are resolved.
Anniversary and Map Corrections
The Endure any Stun visual effect no longer triggers incorrectly when the killer is hit by Decisive Strike, and remote hook sound effects no longer persist when looking away. Environmental collision fixes prevent survivors from standing on specific props in Father Campbell's Chapel, clear invisible barriers in The Macmillan Estate, and correct navigation issues for The Knight's guards in Treatment Theatre and Suffocation Pit.
Quests and Platform Fixes
Stuck progress on Rift Pass week six challenge Be chased for 200 seconds and Tome 15 challenge I want it, I got it are resolved. Steam players experiencing initialization hangs when joining matches will find that issue fixed.
