Dead By Daylight Update 5.5.2 Patch Notes

Below you will find the official patch notes for the February 9 Dead By Daylight update, which brings the game to version 5.5.2 with the following changes:

Content

• Boil Over
  • Changed to give 33% of current wiggle progress when falling from great heights (was a flat 25% increase)

Dev Note: This change prevents abuse of Boil Over in specific map locations where the killer has no choice but to drop from a height. It still stays relevant for longer walks and especially for basement access. At over 75% wiggle progress, it still results in an insta-drop.

• Changed “Rite of The Executioner” Daily Ritual to require sending 2 Survivors to Cages of Atonement (was 4)
