Dead by Daylight July Developer Update – Survivor Disconnect Bots, Onryo Update

This month’s developer update is maybe the biggest we’ve seen in recent memory, with some major updates to the Onryo, the addition of bots for Survivors who disconnect, and a balance update to Coldwind Farms. That’s not all though — there are plenty of other Killer Updates, Perk changes, and perhaps most impactful, the removal of hook grabs. We’ve got a distilled version of the update for people who just want the highlights, or you can check out the official announcement for the complete list of changes.
