Dead by Daylight Resident Evil Project W patch 6.2.0 PTB Now Live
/
Behaviour Interactive have launched the PTB for patch 6.2.0, which is for the upcoming Resident Evil Chapter titled Project W. Those who join the PTB can try out the new killer Albert Wesker and survivors Rebecca Chambers and Ada Wong before the new content goes live in public servers.
This is the second chapter themed under the Resident Evil franchise and usually when a new chapter hits the PTB servers, it most likely means that it will officially launch to the public in a couple of weeks.
Here’s a quick rundown of how Albert Wesker works and the new perks coming to Dead by Daylight.
Dead by Daylight Resident Evil Project W killer power, and new perks
New Killer - The Mastermind
Mastermind Power - Virulent Bound
Albert Wesker’s power is called the Virulent Bound and is pretty straight forward as he is able to dash forward twice. Any survivor that is in the way of this dash will be pushed back and lose a health state. If another survivor gets hit by the survivor that was pushed back from Wesker, he also gets injured.
It’s a simple concept but with a lot of uses as the first dash covers a lot of distance compared to the second one, and if you hit an injured survivor with the dash, you’ll instantly pick her up, saving you some time. The Virulent Bound also allows Wesker to vault downed pallets and windows.
Another cool addition is Albert Wesker’s version of infecting survivors. Any survivor hit by Virulent Bound will be infected by Wesker’s Uroboros. The infection builds over time and when a survivor is fully infected they are affected by the hindered effect, which decreases a survivor’s movement speed.
To cure the infection, you’ll have to open unique Supply Crates that spawn in the map and pick up the First Aid Spray. Using this item will remove the infection or you can use it on another infected survivor. There’s a limited amount of First Aid Spray available in each game, similar to how they did it with the infection ability of Nemesis.
New Killer Perks
New Perk: Superior Anatomy
When a survivor performs a fast vault within 8 meters of you, this perk activates. The next time you vault a window, your vaulting speed is increased by 30, 35, or 40 percent. This perk deactivates after vaulting a window. This perk has a 30-second cooldown.
New Perk: Awakened Awareness
When carrying a survivor, you can see the aura of other survivors within 16/18/20 meters of your position. Auras revealed this way linger for two seconds after you stop carrying the survivor.
New Perk: Terminus
When exit gates are powered, this perk activates. While the perk is active, injured, downed and hooked Survivors are inflicted with the broken status effect until exit gates are opened. When exit gates are open, Survivors will stay broken for an additional 20/25/30 seconds.
New Survivor - Ada Wong
New Perk: Wiretap
After repairing Generators for a total of 33 percent, this perk activates. After repairing a Generator for at least three seconds, press the Ability button to install a spy trap, which stays active for 60/70/80 seconds. The aura of the trapped generator is revealed in yellow to all Survivors. When the Killer comes within 14 meters of the trapped generator, their aura is revealed to all Survivors. Damaging the generator destroys the Wiretap.
New Perk: Reactive Healing
When another Survivor loses a health state in a 32 meters radius around you while you are injured, instantly increase your healing progression by 25, 30, or 35 percent of the missing healing progression.
New Perk: Low Profile
When you become the last Survivor, this perk activates. Hide your scratch marks and pools of blood for 70/80/90 seconds.
New Survivor - Rebecca Chambers
New Perk: Better Than New
Upon completing a healing action on another survivor, the targeted survivor gets a 6 percent speed boost to generator repair, healing, chest opening and totem cleansing for 25/30/35 seconds.
New Perk: Reassurance
When within a 6-meter radius around a hooked survivor, use the Active Ability Button 2 to pause their struggle progression for 20/25/30 seconds. If they are in the struggle phase, it also pauses the Struggle Skill Checks. This perk has a 40-second cooldown.
New Perk: Hyperfocus
After hitting a great Skill Check while repairing or healing, this perk gains 1 token, up to six tokens. Each token increases the chance of Skill Check trigger by 2 percent, the Skill Check cursor speed by 4 percent and the bonus progression for great Skill Checks by 10/20/30 percent of its base value. The perk loses all tokens in case of normal Skill Check success, Skill Check fails, or if you stop performing the action by any means.
The 6.2.0 patch also comes with a new Streamer mode, giving new privacy options to hopefully reduce the likelihood of players targeting and harassing Dead by Daylight streamers. This feature allows players to replace their account name with a selected character name, hide other player names, and have a hidden matchmaking delay to prevent queue sniping.
This patch also comes with the reworked Racoon City Police Station map, which was split into two separate layouts - Raccoon City Police Station East Wing and Raccoon City Police Station West Wing.This pretty much gives us two maps with each version sharing the main hall of the original map.
You can read the full 6.2.0 patch notes over at Dead by Daylight’s official forums, or try the new content yourself. Steps on how to join the game’s PTB can be found here and it’s pretty easy to set up with no requirement to get in as its available to the public.
