A new update was just launched by developer Behaviour Interactive for its multiplayer survival horror game Dead by Daylight. Hotfix 7.5.1 implemented some adjustments to a few killers in the game, most notably "The Blight."

More Deadly

After getting nerfed a few weeks ago, Talbot Grimes, more popularly known as The Blight in Dead by Daylight, has received some buffs in Hotfix 7.5.1.

His Adrenaline Vial add-on now increases Rush look angle by 20 degrees and movement speed by 5%. However, this comes at the cost of the turn rate being reduced by 55% while rushing. This means that The Blight will not be able to make sharp turns while the ability is in use.

Although the 55% slower turn rate when Adrenaline Vial is used may be too significant, the good news is that it can be mitigated somehow by also using Compound Thirty Three. This particular add-on increases Rush turn rate by 33%. However, this limits The Blight from using Rush no more than two times, possibly as a way to balance things out.

The Blight is not the only killer in Dead by Daylight that got improvements. The Onryo now locks in three Condemned stacks when she hooks a survivor. Furthermore, she gains a slight movement speed boost while Manifesting, giving her a better chance at attacking survivors.
