Dead by Daylight Update 9.2.2 Adjusts Off The Record and Balances The Krasue
Dead by Daylight patch 9.2.2 nerfs the Off The Record perk duration, reworks The Krasue's power timings, and implements a massive wave of bug fixes.
Behaviour Interactive has released Dead by Daylight patch 9.2.2, bringing major changes to survivor perks, killer stats, and dozens of pesky bugs across multiple realms. The update scales back the lingering safety net of a popular anti-tunneling perk while tweaking the new killer's animation windows and projectile handling.
Survivor Perk and Killer Balance
The Off The Record perk has had its active duration slashed to 30, 35, and 40 seconds across tiers, down from 60, 70, and 80 seconds. The developers noted the adjustment aims to curb aggressive late-match uses while preserving anti-tunneling protection right after an unhook. Meanwhile, The Krasue received several direct adjustments. Leeched status is now completely stripped from survivors the moment they are hooked. In Head Form, the Corporeal Weave transition time increased to 1.2 seconds, Regurgitate thrown and cancelled cooldowns both jumped to 1.3 seconds, Intestinal Whip wind-up lengthened to 0.3 seconds, and Intestinal Whip collision length decreased slightly to 0.32 seconds.
Killer and Survivor Bug Fixes
A large number of character-specific issues have been resolved. The Krasue can no longer hit survivors through mid-height obstacles and vaults while in Head Form, and she is properly vulnerable to blinds during pick-ups. The Blight can no longer chain another Lethal Rush immediately after a pallet stun. The Nurse's Chain Blink charge failures have been addressed, and The Shape's Evil Incarnate Mori now correctly counts toward achievements and trophies. Other fixes stop female survivors from floating above locker floors during grabs and fix missing barbed wire on The Executioner's Rites of Judgment trails.
Map Navigation and Environment Fixes
Out-of-bounds exploits for The Nurse on Dead Dawg Saloon and Raccoon City Police Station West Wing have been closed. Navigation blockades and AI pathfinding errors have been fixed for Nostromo Wreckage, Sanctum Of Wrath, and Underground Complex. Visual issues like missing tree textures on Ironworks of Misery and incorrect placeholder tiles on Mount Ormond Resort have also been cleaned up.
UI, Audio, and Matchmaking Fixes
A crash tied to the Player Profile menu has been fixed. The default lobby now correctly displays instead of Sinister Grace, and disconnection replacement bots now carry accurate scores. Audio errors, such as The Houndmaster's trailer audio playing while tabbed out and directional issues with The Krasue's Mori audio, have been corrected.
Why this patch matters
Patch 9.2.2 trims down prolonged invulnerability windows for survivors and tightens up The Krasue's combat metrics alongside a sprawling cleanup of map geometry and character bugs.
