The newest Dead by Daylight update prevents the 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 instant drop to prevent abuse and exploits. The wiggle mechanic has been buffed even further in the new update to make falling from heights less punishing.
What to Expect From The New Dead By Daylight Update?
The previous update caused a bug that prevented the Nurse from lunging after a blink if the attack input would be pressed before the end of the blink. Behavior Interactive has addressed the issue along with other concerns surrounding the recent updates. The devs are also aware of some existing issues and we can expect more tweaks to the wiggle mechanic and other audio bugs in the near future.
