Dead By Daylight 6.2.2 Patch Notes - Perk Changes, Bug Fixes, More

With the recent release of Project W, Dead by Daylight has had a lot of major changes, updates, and new features in store for players this past month. This most recent patch, patch 6.2.2, is a more minor one, with fixes to existing content and a few unsubstantial perk changes. 

In this article, we’ll go over all of the changes coming to Dead by Daylight in patch 6.2.2, coming on 13th September 2022. 

Dead By Daylight 6.2.2 Patch Notes

The notes for this patch include various feature changes, as well as changes to niche perks like Jill Valentine’s Blast Mine.

Blast Mine allows survivors to trap a generator after repairing it to 66%, causing an explosion and blind when the killer kicks the generator within 45 seconds.

The perk was recently nerfed in the last update, now causing survivors to no longer instantly re-earn their trap if the survivor does not kick the trapped generator. Several buffs have been applied in this 6.2.2. patch to compensate, including a longer active window.
