Dead by Daylight Update 7.5.1 Balances Killers and Fixes Bugs

Dead by Daylight Update 7.5.1 adjusts addons for The Blight, The Hillbilly, and The Onryo, while introducing the Lights Out event modifier and correcting numerous perk and environment bugs.

Behavior Interactive has released Update 7.5.1 for Dead by Daylight, bringing targeted addon adjustments for select Killers alongside the limited-time Lights Out modifier event.

Killer Power and Addon Adjustments

The Blight receives sweeping changes to his Adrenaline Vial and Compound Thirty Three addons, altering rush tokens, turn rates, and rush durations. The Hillbilly's Greased Throttle and The Thompson's Mix addons now decrease chainsaw recovery time outside of Overdrive. The Onryo sees her Condemned cooldown removed, the number of locked-in Condemned stacks increased to three upon hooking a survivor, and increased movement speed while manifesting.

Perk and Gameplay Bug Fixes

The Brand New Part no longer grants progress for archive quests requiring successful generator skill checks. The Nerves of Steel achievement now tracks skill checks properly. Circle of Healing correctly applies healing speed buffs when medkits deplete, Save the Best for Last grants a 4 percent attack cooldown reduction instead of 5 percent, and Champion of Light applies the Hindered effect correctly when the killer is blinded while carrying a survivor.

Map and Audio Corrections

Numerous environment issues are resolved, including missing collision in Shattered Square, unblinkable railings in Mother's Dwelling, and misplaced Biopods on Underground Complex walls. Audio fixes restore missing End Game Collapse bell sounds, prevent killer sounds from muting inside option menus, and correct overlapping voice lines for The Good Guy.

Why this patch matters

Update 7.5.1 delivers necessary balance tweaks to specific killers and cleans up long-standing perk and map collisions.
