Dead by Daylight Update 7.3.3 Brings Back Stranger Things and Fixes Vault Distances
Dead by Daylight update 7.3.3 reinstates the Stranger Things chapter alongside the Hawkins National Laboratory map and original perk names. The patch also standardizes survivor vault distances and fixes several character animation bugs.
Dead by Daylight update 7.3.3 brings back the Stranger Things chapter, restoring the Hawkins National Laboratory map and the original names and icons for associated perks. The update also addresses survivor vault distances, bot navigation, and collision and crash issues across all platforms.
Stranger Things Content and Perks Return
The Stranger Things DLC is back in the game. Nine original perks have reverted to their original titles and icons, though their underlying functions remain unchanged. Guardian is once again Babysitter, Kinship is Camaraderie, Renewal is Second Wind, Situational Awareness is Better Together, and Self-aware is Fixated. For Killers, Jolt reverts to Surge, Claustrophobia to Cruel Limits, and Fearmonger to Mind Breaker. These restored names are currently English only, with translations for other languages arriving in the next release. The Underground Complex map is back with its previous layout, and the Hawkins National Laboratory ID offering has returned to the Bloodweb.
Survivor and Killer Adjustments
An issue that caused male and female survivor fast vault distances to differ is resolved, standardizing the mechanic. The Trapper no longer plays the Naughty Bear animation during attack misses, vaults, and stuns. The Knight's Guards order range is corrected on both sides of generators, removing interference caused by Halloween asset collisions. Bots are now more effective at dodging The Trickster's blades.
Map Fixes and Technical Stability
Players will no longer get stuck on a tree root in the Pale Rose map or get pushed into the roof of the Mount Ormond Resort building. An issue blocking progress on the In Extremis challenge from Tome 16 is fixed. On Nintendo Switch, the Naughty Bear Mori button no longer remains visible when wearing other outfits. Technical stability updates resolve potential crashes on the Event Entry screen, in the store, and during matches with bots.
