Features

Diminishing Returns Update

While in a Trial, repeated positive or negative gameplay modifiers and status effects are now affected by diminishing returns.

Identical Killer and Survivor modifiers granted by Powers, Items, Perks and Offerings will now be reduced progressively as they become stacked.

The following apply diminishing returns only within their role:

Negative action speed modifiers

Positive skill check chance modifiers

The following are excluded entirely from diminishing returns:

Modifiers granted from Add-ons

The gameplay modifier with the highest absolute value is always applied, while lesser ones are progressively lowered to a percentage of their original value.

The game prioritizes the highest values, reducing the impact of lesser ones.

1st value (highest) - 100% of modifier

2nd value - 50% of modifier

3rd value - 25% of modifier

4th value - 12.5% of modifier

5th value and up - 5% of modifier

Game manual updated to include information on diminishing returns.

1v4 Play While You Wait Update

Added the option to "Play While You Wait" to the default 1v4 game mode.

While searching for a match as Killer, you will receive the option to Play While You Wait.

This allows you to play a match as a Survivor while saving your place in the Killer queue.

After finishing your Survivor match, you will automatically be returned to your place in the Killer queue.

Progress Bar Update

The progress bar for interactions has a new animation to reinforce the speed differences

The color has been updated so it represents the speed of the interaction, becoming yellow if faster than normal, and red if slower than normal

Previously, the color was dependent on the individual contributor. Ie. a player could see the bar red even when going faster
