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)
  • When destroying a pod while controlling it, hold down M1-Attack Button for 1.25 sec to destroy it (new)
  • New Killer Instinct Effect for 3.0 sec. on Survivors receiving Slipstream from another Slipstreamed Survivor or from a Bio-Pod
  • Added Aim Assist effect when aiming at a Slipstreamed Survivor
  • Decreased Tagging cooldown for Pods after Slipstreaming a Survivor to 3.0 sec (was 3.5 – allows less downtime after shooting a Survivor)

  • Overclock Duration no longer scales based on the number of Slipstreamed Survivors. Base value has been increased to 5.7 seconds (was 4.7)

  • After exiting a Pod, the aura of the last used Pod is displayed in yellow for 10.0 seconds (was 5)
  • Soma Family Photo Addon +3% Haste effect for the duration of the Overclock is now base kit.
  • UltraSonic Sensor Addon sound effect is now base kit. Killer can hear sounds through a controlled Biopod after 0.20 seconds by default.
  • Made valid location target placement easier (increased placement timing from 0.1 seconds to 0.2 seconds)
  • After using an EMP, Survivors are invincible to Slipstream for 1.0 second (was 2.0)
  • EMP Range effect has been increased from 8M to 10M.
  • EMPs stop printing when reaching 97%. Survivors now need to complete the last 3% manually. Supply Crate auras are shown in yellow when maximum progress has been reached.
  • No longer forced to pick up EMPs after opening Supply Cases
  • Perks: Blast Mine and Head-on now both apply the Overheat effect when affected by a stun during Overclock.
