Dead by Daylight Update 8.1.2 Fixes Perk Calculations and Bots

Behaviour Interactive has launched Dead by Daylight update 8.1.2, fixing calculations for Stridor and Iron Will alongside numerous bug fixes for generators, bots, and character animations.

Behaviour Interactive has released a focused bugfix patch for Dead by Daylight, version 8.1.2. The update addresses long-standing perk interactions, bot pathing quirks, and several match-breaking issues involving generators and animations.

Perk Adjustments

Stridor and Iron Will are no longer calculated multiplicatively. Stridor now reliably increases survivor grunt volumes even when iron will is active, while Iron Will lowers survivor noise instead of completely silencing it to zero.

Generator and Match Fixes

Invocation: Weaving Spiders now completes generators correctly when progress is above 90 percent. Specialist no longer breaks generators permanently when all survivors consume maximum tokens on the same objective, resolving related softlock conditions.

Bot and Character Fixes

Bot pathing has been improved to prevent attempts at climbing overly steep terrain, and The Huntress bot charges hatchets more accurately. Character fixes resolve floating survivors after the Mastermind's Virulent Bound, unsuppressed bear traps with the Trapper's Bear Oil add-on, and unintended white auras when the Singularity views pods.

Why this patch matters

Update 8.1.2 cleans up frustrating generator locks and audio calculation errors, bringing more consistency to both killer and survivor interactions.
