The developers of Dead by Daylight have announced that they will finally address one of the most annoying issues with the game. The grind is set to be reduced.
Since the rework of Freddy, there has been a lot going on in Dead by Daylight, but many of the community’s wishes have still not been heard. Players are still waiting for dedicated servers and, especially for newcomers, the game is a huge grind at the beginning just to get to the perks they want.
In a “Developer Update” post, the developers have now addressed that many of the issues will finally be tackled.
What is the problem with the grind? Anyone who wants a good selection of perks in Dead by Daylight has to farm extremely hard. Not only do they need to bring numerous characters close to the maximum level to unlock their teachable perks (so that other characters can learn them), but then a lot of farming still needs to be done.
Because each blood web (i.e., each level-up) contains a maximum of 2 perks to choose from, and only one of them can be selected. Those just starting with Dead by Daylight have to farm dozens of millions of blood points to have the desired perks on their favorite character. This corresponds to a playtime of several hundred hours, even for skilled players.
What is going to change? Although the developers haven’t mentioned any concrete measures yet, they have already stated their goal. More perks should be offered per blood web (currently a maximum of 2), so that players can unlock exactly the perks they want faster.
At the same time, the maximum number of blood webs needed to unlock all perks should also be drastically reduced. This will probably only be achievable if players can select more than one perk simultaneously per blood web.
When will these changes take place? However, the developers have not yet given a specific date. These changes are to happen “over the next few months.” But from the developers of Dead by Daylight, this is quite a vague statement, as between the announcement of a “soon” rework of Freddy and the actual implementation there were nearly 15 months. One can only hope that the improvements to the blood web won’t take that long to arrive.
How do you feel about the grind in Dead by Daylight? Is it too exhausting? Or is it just a part of the game and has it motivated you so far?
