Dead by Daylight Gets Lara Croft Tomb Raider Chapter, The Knight Changes

Behaviour Interactive updated Dead by Daylight, so people who pay $4.99 get the Lara Croft Tomb Raider Chapter DLC and those who don’t get an array of adjustments for The Knight, The Singularity, and The Good Guy Killers. There’s also a new trailer highlighting exactly how Lara looks in-game, so people can see the new Survivor in action.

First, here’s the Tomb Raider Chapter DLC trailer showing Lara Croft in Dead by Daylight. Since this is just a teaser, it is only cinematic. It doesn’t show her new Finesse, Hardened, or Specialist perks in action. It also doesn’t show the Climbing Axe Charm, which people also get for buying the add-on.

In addition to bringing Lara Croft and Tomb Raider to Dead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive also made a number of other changes in the 8.1.0 patch. The Good Guy, The Knight, and The Singularity Killers all ended up adjusted. The Good Guy changes all apply to Hidey-Ho Mode cooldowns. The ones for The Knight and The Singularity are more extensive. 

Here are all of Singularity changes in Dead by Daylight 8.1.0:

• When tagging a Survivor from a Pod (and Slipstream is not completed), the Tagging progress goes down gradually over 0.5 sec (was instant)
• Tag depletion starts after 0.25 seconds after Slipstream has been accumulated (but not completed) (was 0.3 seconds)
