Dead by Daylight PTB 6.3.0 – Finishing Mori Patch Now Live

Dead by Daylight’s newest system, the Finishing Mori, is now available for testing on the Public Test Build. In brief, the end-game is being altered to ensure the final Survivor is always mori’d if they are downed before escaping — this new system will also come with changes to the Survivor dying state that prevent being slugged for long periods of time. You can read more about the Finishing Mori in last week’s news piece on it.

While today’s patch notes confirmed that the Finishing Mori mechanic will not be added in the upcoming live patch, there are a couple of new features and changes in today’s PTB patch that will be included with the next release:

Stage 2 of the Prestige Catch-up will be implemented, meaning characters that were level 50 and prestige 0-2 as of 6.1.0 will receive 2 bonus prestige levels.
Flashlight cooldowns are being increased, and the flashlight click speed is now slower — supposedly because of the danger of flash-induced seizures, but also very likely to discourage flashlight clicking (which some players consider BM).
You will be able to select a Killer and Survivor challenge at the same time — finally, no more forgetting to select a challenge when you switch roles! Other improvements to the Archive Challenge UI will also be included in this update.

Dead by Daylight Public Test Build Patch Notes 6.3.0

Features

Finishing Mori System

(Will not ship in the next release; included for testing and feedback purposes)

Moris are no longer available during the game.
- The OnryÅ’s Power, The Executioner’s Power, and The Shape’s Judith’s Tombstone addon still function as before.
Once all Survivors are dead, in the dying state or have escaped, a Finishing Mori is triggered, and the game ends.
The last Survivor to enter the dying state and the Killer are teleported to a special location on the map for the performance of the Mori.
- Other Survivors on the ground are killed by the Entity.
- Other Survivors on hooks are immediately sacrificed.
When a Survivor becomes the Last Standing, all Survivors and the Killer are notified that if this last one goes down, the game ends.
Mori Offering updates
- Cypress Memento Mori offering will be renamed to “Cypress Demand”. The new text will read, “Gain 8000 blood points if you kill at least 2 survivors, and end the match with a Finishing Mori.”
- Ivory Memento Mori offering will be renamed to “Ivory Demand”. The new text will read, “Gain 12000 blood points if you kill at least 3 survivors, and end the match with a Finishing Mori.”
- Iridescent Ebony Mori offering will be renamed to “Ebony Demand”. The new text will read, “Gain 20000 blood points if you kill all 4 survivors, and end the match with a Finishing Mori.”
Several Perks have changed to accommodate the Finishing Mori System and the ability of Survivors to recover from the dying state on their own.
- Unbreakable: Increases dying self-recovery speed by 80%/90%/100%.
- Soul Guard: Gain the Endurance status effect for 4/6/8 seconds after being healed or having recovered from the dying state. Also gain a 10% Haste status effect for 5 seconds. This effect can only occur once every 30 seconds.
- No Mither: You suffer from the Broken status effect for the entire Trial, but gain the benefit from the follow effects: Pools of Blood are suppressed, When Injured or dying your Grunts of Pain are reduced by 25/50/75%, Your Recovery speed is increased by 15/20/25%.
- Boon: Exponential: Survivors inside the Boon Totem’s range benefit from the following effects: Increased dying self-recovery speed by 80/90/100%.
- Rancor: Each time a Generator is completed, your Obsession sees your aura for 5/4/3 seconds. Each time a Generator is completed, all Survivors’ locations are revealed to you for 3 seconds. Once all Generators are completed, the Obsession’s aura is revealed in red for 10 seconds and is permanently inflicted with the Exposed status effect.
- Hex: Devour Hope: When a survivor is rescued from a hook at least 24 meters away, Devour Hope receives a token. 2 Tokens: Gain a 3%/4%/5% Haste status Effect,10 seconds after hooking a survivor, for a duration of 10 seconds. 3 Tokens: Survivors suffer from the Exposed status effect. 5 Tokens: Any Survivors who are placed on a hook die immediately. Survivors already on a hook are unaffected.
Blood On Your Face Achievement will change to “In public matches, kill 4 Survivors.”
Survivors who are on the ground in the dying state can now get themselves up without help.
- Self-recovery takes 45 seconds.
  - Once fully recovered, the Survivor will see a “Get Up” prompt.
- Healing another Survivor who is in the dying state still takes 16 seconds, as before.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to production constraints, the localizations of the updated Perks, Offerings, and any other text related to the Finishing Mori System will not be seen during the PTB.

The following features are planned to ship in the next release:

Inclusion of Stage 2 of our Prestige Catch-Up. Characters which were level 50 and prestige 0, 1, or 2 as of the 6.1.0 release will receive 2 bonus prestige levels, as if they had been prestiged.
Flashlight cooldowns
- To reduce strobing and the associated dangers regarding flash-induced seizures, Flashlights now have a slight delay imposed between switching them on and off.
- The Flashlight click speed is now slower. The sound effect has been adjusted so it matches the new speed.
Archives
- New Challenge Slots in the Archives: Players now can select a Survivor and a Killer challenge at the same time. This will hopefully improve the experience for players who switch roles often, or want to take full advantage of the Matchmaking Incentives Bloodpoint Bonus.
  - 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.
- Completed Challenges now remain in the Archives widget until either claimed or replaced. A new Challenge Complete visual was added to the archives widget minimized state to better convey when the challenge you are working on is completed. This will hopefullly reduce the current issue of not noticing your challenge has been completed previously and entering a subsequent trial (or six) without an active Archives Challenge.
- Removed “press and hold” interaction on challenge nodes.
