Dead by Daylight has just dropped patch 7.7.1, focused on squashing bugs and tweaking the Xenomorph's exclusive Ultimate Weapon perk. This update also offers a glimpse into the upcoming content slated for release in May, as outlined in the game's roadmap.

Since its inception in 2016, Dead by Daylight has continuously evolved through updates and added content, expanding its live-service model. In a recent survey aimed at Dead by Daylight players, developer Behaviour Interactive sought feedback on the game's latest update and opinions on renowned titles like Five Nights at Freddy's, Left 4 Dead, Valheim, and even Helldivers 2. Depending on player input, new game content such as killer or survivor skins from other franchises might be integrated.

While fresh content is in the pipeline, Dead by Daylight remains committed to enhancing the player experience through updates. Patch 7.7.1 addresses numerous game bugs and adjusts the Xenomorph killer's Ultimate Weapon perk. Players will appreciate fixes for issues like rubber-banding during movement and a stutter problem occurring at the end of certain interactions. These bugs could significantly impact gameplay for both killers and survivors, potentially altering match outcomes with even minor movements.

The latest update introduces the Chaos Shuffle modifier, a game mode scheduled to launch on May 16. Players can anticipate a flurry of new content around May 14, leading up to Dead by Daylight's anniversary in June. The day will kick off with a game broadcast that might unveil significant game updates. Furthermore, the Before the Masquerade event commences on the same day, featuring a new Nicolas Cage survivor skin. Concurrently, the Endless Hunt pack debuts, marking the fourth Chapter Pack DLC for Dead by Daylight.

The Before the Masquerade event will run all month, with the Chaos Shuffle game mode available from May 16 to May 23. This modifier equips all Dead by Daylight players with four random perks, challenging them to adapt their playstyle without relying on their standard loadout. While Chaos Shuffle will have a separate queue from the regular mode, players interested in acquiring Chaos Shuffle cosmetics must engage in the mode and complete associated challenges.
