Dead by Daylight patch 5.1.1 nerfs Trickster once again

And does the butt thing, of course.

Dead by Daylight patch 5.1.1 continues to nerf the Trickster, one of the game’s newest killers.

“The Trickster’s performance is still lower than we want him after the 5.1.0 release, so we decided to add a bit of power in a few places,” developer Behaviour Interactive said inside full patch notes. “Chase dynamics are more interesting now that he has a short delay before Laceration decays but it was a bit too easy for him to lose partial progress toward damaging a Survivor, meriting an increase to the delay.”

The patch has also nerfed Pyramid Head’s ample behind.

Dead by Daylight is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5 and Switch; it’s also available through Xbox Game Pass. Full 5.1.1 patch notes can be found below.
