#DBD turns into a circus as one red-nosed character will get an enormous buff – Destructoid

Lifeless by Daylight is not any stranger to bizarre patches and updates, which frequently break one thing or all the pieces. This final one, coming alongside the Strolling Lifeless Chapter, broke so much of stuff, together with The Clown, one of many sport’s oldest Killers.

And the way precisely did BHVR do it? Easy. It made The Clown be essentially the most boring, uninventive, left-click Killer possible by making his energy grant him huge motion velocity whereas concurrently slowing Survivors down. He has nothing particular going about him, until you think about Sonic the Hedgehog-level velocity and left-clicking to be essentially the most spectacular stuff you’ve ever seen.

It’s so dangerous that Clown skyrocketed in reputation, with folks already inventing all types of builds that improve his boring gameplay, making him much more of a nightmare for Survivors.

And don’t simply take it from me, the complete neighborhood has been in an uproar. Simply have a look at this meme posted on the sport’s 1.5-million sturdy subreddit:

One participant even dubbed him because the “new tunneling king,” and that couldn’t be extra correct.

For these unaware, tunneling is a Killer observe in DBD to explicitly give attention to one Survivor, ignoring everybody else till they’re lifeless and sacrificed. With these new buffs, The Clown can merely run after one Survivor advert nauseam, guarantee they’re lifeless, after which transfer onto one other. There are merely only a few methods you’ll be able to loop him and run away as a consequence of how briskly he runs and the way sturdy his slows on you’re.

The above, plus simply how damaged this final patch has been, has turned DBD into an outright circus the place Survivors and Killers alike are being hindered (pun supposed) by bugs, OP buffs, server points, and technical instability.

Carry on being your self, Behaviour, and by no means change. However, when you could, please revert these Clown tweaks.
