Dead by Daylight’s 6.3.0 Update Adjust Flashlights and Prepares for Halloween
/
The 6.3.0 patch for Dead by Daylight will go live later today. The most notable change will be how flashlights will be handled. This patch also prepares the game for the upcoming Halloween event called Haunted by Daylight and the release of Tome 13.
If people participated in the recent PTB, you’re probably aware that the new Finisher Mori was tested but will not go live in the 6.3.0 patch. This is more of the game preparing for their big Halloween event starting today and will last until November 3.
Here’s a rundown of the notable changes in the 6.3.0 patch.

Prestige Catch-Up: Characters who were level 50 and prestige 0, 1, or 2 as of the 6.1.0 release will receive 2 bonus prestige levels, as though they had been prestiged. (updated on Live Build 7th October)
Flashlight Adjustments
The Flashlight click speed is now slower. The sound effect has been adjusted so it matches the new speed.
To reduce strobing and the associated dangers regarding flash-induced seizures, Flashlights now have a slight delay imposed between switching them on and off.

Archives

Completed Challenges now remain in the Archives widget until either claimed or replaced.

New Challenge Slots in the Archives: Players now can select a Survivor and a Killer challenge at the same time.
Any challenges shared by both roles can also be assigned to the slot of your choice, or both slots, if desired.
Selecting a slot with an equipped challenge will navigate you to the respective tome and level of the equipped challenge.
