Dead by Daylight, or DBD, is releasing its latest crossover in the form of Resident Evil Project W. It’s now live on the game’s Public Test Build (PTB) servers.
Avid gamers can now get their hands on the new Resident Evil-centric content even before the game is officially released in full. This new game is the second Resident Evil crossover for the horror game Dead by Daylight.
Usually, players are invited to test the new content for feedback and test out the new additions to the game. Downloading and playing on the PTB servers is free to everyone, though it’s only available for PC players on Steam.
As of the most recent PTB update, Dead by Daylight players will get to try out the new Killer, Albert Wesker. Ada Wong and Rebecca Chambers will also be available, who’ll be joining the Killer Nemesis and two existing Survivors, Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine. Each of the new characters will come with three teachable perks unique to their character.
New Killer – The Mastermind
New Perk: Superior Anatomy
When a survivor performs a fast vault within 8 metres of you, the Superior Anatomy perk activates. Your vaulting speed will increase by 30, 35, or 40% the next time you vault a window. This perk deactivates after vaulting a window and has a 30-second cool-down period.
New Perk: Awakened Awareness
When carrying a survivor, you will be able to see the auras of other survivors within 16/18/20 metres of your position. Auras will linger for two seconds after you stop carrying the survivor.
New Perk: Terminus
When exit gates are powered, the Terminus perk will be activated. While the perk is active, injured, downed, and hooked survivors are inflicted with the broken status effect until the exit gates are open. When exit gates are open, survivors will stay mutilated for an additional 20/25/30 seconds.
New Survivor – Ada Wong
New Perk: Wiretap
The Wire Tap perk becomes available after repairing generators for a total of 33%. After repairing a generator for at least three seconds, you have to press the Ability button to install a spy trap, which will stay active for 60, 70, or 80 seconds.
The aura of the trapped generator is revealed in yellow to all the survivors. When the killer comes within 14 metres of the trapped generator, their aura is revealed to all the survivors. Damaging the generator destroys the wiretap.
New Perk: Reactive Healing
When another survivor loses a health state in a 32-metre radius around you while you are injured, it will instantly increase your healing progression by 25, 30, or 35 per cent of the missing healing progression.
New Perk: Low Profile
When you are the last survivor, the Low Profile perk will be activated. Hide your scratch marks and pools of blood for 70, 80, or 90 seconds.
New Survivor – Rebecca Chambers
New Perk: Better Than New
After healing another survivor, the targeted survivor gains a 6% speed boost to generator repair, healing, chest opening, and totem cleansing for 25, 30, and 35 seconds.
New Perk: Reassurance
When within a 6-meter radius around a hooked survivor, use the Active Ability Button 2 to pause their struggle progression for 20, 25, or 30 seconds. If they are in the struggle phase, it also pauses the Struggle Skill Checks. This perk will have a 40-second cooldown.
New Perk: Hyperfocus
After hitting a great Skill Check while repairing or healing, the Hyperfocus perk gains 1 token, up to six tokens. Each token increases the chance of a Skill Check trigger by 2%, the cursor speed of a Skill Check by 4%, and the bonus progression for great Skill Checks by 10%/20%/30% of its base value. The perk loses all tokens in the case of normal Skill Check success, Skill Check failure, or if you stop performing the action by any means.
