Another of Dead by Daylight’s maps is getting the Realm Beyond treatment in the next major update. The Red Forest, home to the Plague and the Huntress, is getting a facelift in the horror game’s upcoming update, and developer Behavior Interactive has shared some lovely screenshots of the revamp. The update will also include some perk changes and prevent cards from replaying multiple times in a row.
According to Behavior, the Red Forest update will retain the visual style of the map and preserve the respective lore of its killers, while updating the visuals with the other maps the developer has updated and modernized in recent years. . .
The new Card Replay Prevention feature will remove the current card from the pool of possible cards, as long as a deal isn’t used to hold it, Behavior explains. This applies to all players in a test: the next map will not include any of the maps that players in the group last played, and these maps will also have a reduced chance of being drawn for future matches .
The update will also make some changes to perks, especially Eruption, which is getting a pretty big nerf. The behavior indicates that the buff was proving too powerful not to choose and had a huge impact on individual players, who are unable to warn teammates that they are working on the generator to avoid becoming incapacitated.
The developer says that’s changing. Eruption so that it causes generators will lose 10% of current progress, instead of 10% of total progress, and the buff will no longer apply incapacitated status to survivors who repair the generator when it stops. Instead, these Survivors will scream and reveal their locations to the Killer for 10 seconds.
