Dead by Daylight Patch 9.2.1 Adjusts The Krasue and Squashes Bugs
Dead by Daylight patch 9.2.1 tweaks The Krasue's Glowing Fungus mechanics, vault speeds, and stun durations while addressing dozens of audio, character, and perk bugs. The update also resolves map collision issues across multiple realms.
Behaviour Interactive has deployed patch 9.2.1 for Dead by Daylight, delivering a focused round of balance adjustments for the recently added Killer, The Krasue. Alongside these character tweaks, the patch resolves a massive laundry list of animation glitches, audio desyncs, and collision exploits.
The Krasue Balance Changes
The Krasue receives several adjustments to her kit. The initial number of Glowing Fungus increases to 5 from 4, but the maximum cap drops to 6 from 8. Her Intestinal Whip obstruction ignore time decreases to 0.35 seconds from 0.6 seconds. In Head Form, her pallet vault time increases to 2 seconds, window vault time increases to 1.8 seconds, and pallet stun time rises to 2.5 seconds.
Character and Killer Fixes
A broad set of character fixes resolves lingering animation and positioning errors. The Shape's hand alignment during Morris is corrected, The Houndmaster's dog no longer improperly despawns during Chase Commands, and various legendary outfits for Carlos, Chris, Claire, and Sheva now play unique campfire animations.
Perk and Interaction Corrections
The patch resolves numerous perk conflicts, including an issue where Play With Your Food tokens were improperly removed when The Krasue used Regurgitate. Other fixes ensure Plot Twist correctly triggers Mettle of Man requirements, and fix priority overlap issues with ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR! and Reassurance.
Environment and UI Fixes
Map geometry fixes close out bounds exploits for The Nurse on The Game and resolve navigation blockages on Dead Dawg Saloon and Autohaven Wreckers. UI fixes address misaligned custom match lobbies and incorrect match details display for The Twins.
Why this patch matters
Patch 9.2.1 provides essential tuning for The Krasue's pacing while cleaning up technical debt across perks, animations, and map collisions.
