Dead by Daylight Update 7.6.2 Reworks Killer Add-Ons and Fixes Visual Bugs
Behaviour Interactive has released Dead by Daylight update 7.6.2, reworking select add-ons for The Clown and The Huntress while addressing character animation and map boundary issues. The patch also resolves a persistent audio bug tied to Dwight's Tight Tights pants.
Dead by Daylight update 7.6.2 is live, bringing targeted add-on adjustments for two Killers alongside a long list of technical fixes for characters, maps, and audio.
Killer Add-On Adjustments
The Clown receives reworks to two of his add-ons. The Sticky Soda Bottle now increases Invigoration's effect by 2 percent, while the Cheap Gin Bottle increases it by 3 percent. For The Huntress, the Leather Loop and Infantry Belt add-ons now grant a 2 percent and 3 percent Haste effect respectively for 5 seconds following a hatchet hit.
Character and Animation Fixes
Several character-specific bugs are resolved in this patch. The Unknown no longer suffers from a shorter lunge than other Killers, and the black screen transition now functions correctly when teleporting to a Hallucination currently in use by a Survivor. Survivors will no longer clip into the ground when interrupted by The Unknown in a locker. The Spirit can no longer see hidden items on Survivors inside lockers after phasing. The Cenobite's Power now properly interrupts healing actions. The Good Guy no longer makes hooked Survivors appear to float and disappear. The Cannibal's camera no longer clips through walls or lockers at the end of his chainsaw animation, and The Doctor's Blood Shock Outfit head no longer displays stretched textures during the lobby menu animation.
Environment and Map Corrections
In the Underground Complex map, the hook placement in the portal room is now accessible to Survivors, chests and Killer items no longer clip into lockers or blockers, and The Trapper can no longer conceal Bear Traps in rubble. Basement salt circles now appear properly across affected maps. Dead Dawg Saloon has a fix for a Generator that previously could not be repaired from one side, and Garden of Joy no longer places Dream Snares beneath the floor.
Audio and Platform Quality of Life
An audio bug causing Dwight's Tight Tights pants jingle to play for all players when rotating in menus is fixed. On the Epic Games platform, a bug that occasionally displayed player Grades in the Tally scoreboard has been resolved.
Why this patch matters
Update 7.6.2 cleans up a variety of specific character interactions and map geometry problems while giving minor tuning tweaks to The Clown and The Huntress.
