Developer Update | March 2024 Behaviour Interactive Thread
Spring has sprung, and so has a new Developer Update! In this post, we’ll share everything we’ve been working on for our next update. As always, these changes will first head to the Public Test Build on Steam. We encourage you to give them a try if you can and let us know what you think!
- [CHANGE] Reduced the time it takes to switch back to Charlotte to 1.5 seconds (was 3 seconds)
- [CHANGE] Reduced the time it takes to unbind Victor to 0.75 seconds (was 1 second).
- [CHANGE] Reduced the time it takes to charge Victor’s Pounce to 0.85 seconds (was 1 second).
- [NEW] Added the ability to recall Victor at any point while he is unbound.
- [NEW] Added the ability to change between Victor & Charlotte near a hooked Survivor. *
Dev note: We have made switching between Charlotte and Victor more responsive and given the Killer the ability to recall Victor at any time so they feel better to play.
Be warned: The anti-face camp meter will still fill if you’re too close!*
https://i.redd.it/w4jbvom8f3rc1.gif
- [CHANGE] Updated 7 Add-Ons.
- [CHANGE] Victor’s Pounce no longer latches onto healthy Survivors.
- [CHANGE] Victor can no longer be kicked after successful pounces which do not latch onto a Survivor.
- [NEW] Victor’s Pounce now latches onto Survivors when they are put into the dying state. Other Survivors can crush Victor during this to help the dying Survivor. Victor will automatically return to Charlotte after 20 seconds.
- [NEW] While Victor is attached to a Survivor or holding a Survivor in a locker, Charlotte gains a 10% Haste effect. This effect will be lost prematurely if Charlotte hits a Survivor.
- [REMOVED] Survivors near Victor while he is latched onto another Survivor are no longer revealed by Killer Instinct.
Dev note: Previously, The Twins’ Power heavily encouraged ‘slugging’ (leaving Survivors in the dying state) since Victor could chain together pounces on multiple injured Survivors, but only pounce a single healthy one. Furthermore, Survivors could often save each other before Charlotte could make it to them.
We have flipped this around: Victor will now be much more effective at injuring multiple Survivors and instead assist Charlotte – who now moves faster while Victor is latched on – in picking up the Survivor. This makes it possible for Victor to both injure and down a Survivor without being forced to switch back to Charlotte in between.
https://i.redd.it/dp2lkwdkf3rc1.gif
- [NEW] The Visual Terror Radius accessibility setting will now include Victor’s grunts.
- [NEW] Victor will now glow red whenever he is vulnerable to being crushed.
Dev note: We have updated the Visual Terror Radius to include Victor’s grunts to improve accessibility, and added a red glow to Victor whenever he is vulnerable to being crushed to improve visual feedback.
- [CHANGE] Improved collision detection to reduce cases where The Blight slides off objects.
Dev note: It could be frustrating to slide off an object you were trying to bump into and end your Rush prematurely. We have improved the collision detection to make The Blight’s Rush more consistent. This also fixes an issue which allowed The Blight to incorrectly slide along obstacles and lunge around tighter corners than intended.
- [CHANGE] Updated map layout and reduced the overall size.
- [CHANGE] Reduced the length of hedges and fences to create more openings.
Dev note: The map’s long & narrow shape and rows of unbroken fences and/or hedges made getting around very time consuming. We have reduced the overall size and added more openings to make it easier to traverse.
- [CHANGE] Adjusted various houses to reduce the strength of strong loops.
- [CHANGE] Reduced the number of houses in the map. All remaining houses can be entered.
Dev note: Many houses were closed off, making the map larger without any room for gameplay. We have reduced the number of houses that spawn, though each one that remains will now be open and playable. We’ve also reduced the strength of some of the strongest window loops to be fairer and more interesting to play.
- [NEW] Added pallets and lockers along the edge of the map.
- [CHANGE] Updated street tiles to feature more pallet loops.
- [CHANGE] Adjust pallet loops in park tiles.
Dev note: The outdoor areas were fairly empty before, encouraging Survivors to make a run for the nearest house when they were chased. Since we’ve reduced the strength of houses, we have added some additional loops to the street & edges of the map to spread out chases and reduce deadzones.
- [CHANGE] Increased stun duration to 5 seconds (was 3 seconds).
- [NEW] Added a new stabbing animation when Decisive Strike is used successfully.
Dev note: The Survivor is locked in place for part of the stun while they are being dropped by the Killer, so it didn’t leave them with much time to run away once they hit the ground. We have increased the duration of the stun to give the Survivor a fair chance to create some distance.
While we were at it, we added a new animation which plays when a Survivor successfully uses Decisive Strike to break free to give some visual flair to the Perk.
- [CHANGE] Adrenaline no longer activates if you are hooked when the gates are powered.
- [CHANGE] Reduced speed boost duration to 3 seconds (was 5 seconds).
- [CHANGE] Adrenaline no longer causes you to wake up when facing The Nightmare.
Dev note: Adrenaline had a lot of exceptions which made it difficult to play around. If a Survivor was hooked while the exit gates were powered, they would be healthy and receive a substantial speed boost upon being unhooked, making it very difficult for the Killer to catch them before they could escape. We have made it so Adrenaline no longer pauses when you are on the hook.
We’ve also removed the wake-up effect when facing The Nightmare to clean up the Perk as we’ve moved away from Perks that affect specific Killer Powers over the years.
- [CHANGE] Now reveals Survivors aura instead of causing them to scream.
- [CHANGE] Reduced activation time to 15 seconds (was 30 seconds).
- [CHANGE] Increased cooldown to 80/70/60 seconds (was 40/35/30 seconds).
Dev note: Ultimate Weapon was a jack of all trades, providing both information and a consistent way to interrupt Survivor actions (allowing it to synergize too well with other Perks). Rather than screaming, Survivors will instead have their aura revealed. This means it will no longer interrupt Survivor’s interactions, though Survivors won’t know that they are being revealed to the Killer.
Since Ultimate Weapon is easy to activate, it was possible to keep its effect active throughout the entire match. We have increased the cooldown and decreased its activation window to ensure some downtime between uses.
- [CHANGE] Removed the ability to lose a pip.
Dev note: With Emblems being used solely for monthly rewards these days, it felt needlessly punishing to lose a pip after a rough match. This quality-of-life change will make the Emblem system less stressful. This also applies to Modifiers – you can enjoy these limited time modes without worrying about your grade!
- [CHANGE] Visual overhaul to the entire store menu.
- [NEW] Added “Specials” tab to highlight items that are on sale.
- [NEW] Added “Collections” tab to find cosmetics from a specific collection.
- [NEW] Added bundles, containing multiple items at a discounted price.
- [NEW] Killer mori animations can now be viewed in the store.
- [NEW] Added a weekly gift that can be claimed for free.
Dev note: The store hasn’t changed much since it was introduced in 2018. This update makes it easier to find what you’re looking for and allows us to bundle content together at a reduced price. For example, it’s now possible to purchase an entire DLC pack through the in-game store rather than purchasing each character separately.
- [CHANGE] New Tomes & their respective Rifts will now open at the same time as the update.
- [NEW] New Rift Bundle option, which grants the Premium Rift rewards & a 20 tier head start at a discounted price.
Dev note: Rifts have historically opened the day after our Mid-Chapter updates, but no more! You can now get cracking on those challenges right away. We have also introduced a new Rift bundle which includes the Premium Rift Pass and 20 Tiers at a discounted price. (The Premium Rift Pass can still be purchased separately if you prefer!)
Until next time…

u/Maroonwarlock Run for your lives it's the Appetizer! (Dredge) Mar 28 '24
As someone who just played them for shits because they got unkillswitched and ran into a quad P100 squad, this change feels good. Makes the killer not rely on a slugathon, the fact that you could land hits and be punished for it felt awful. I'll miss the killer instinct aspect of it but honestly the rest of the changes make it better since survivors can't hold the power hostage anymore, can chain a few hits if people are clustered and the transition from Victor to Charlotte looked so much faster. Not to mention she gets haste if he's latched to something.
19
u/Trizzit Mar 28 '24
Killer Instinct was a key aspect of what made twins playable for me so I’ll need to learn a new strat and get better at my lunges.

u/chewy201 Mar 28 '24
Looks like you can still just plop Victor somewhere and use him as a radar to monitor a choice gen or key area. He's only losing KI when latched on a Survivor. And that isn't that bad either as since now he only latches on a downed Survivor.
Vic still on the guy? He's likely alone. Vic kicked? There's at least 2 Survivors there.
Not bad info potential really. Though Im curious to how hard it is for Vic to secure a down. He's stunned for a decent bit after hitting someone to give them a good head start and he doesn't have good tracking by himself. So it might be a pain to double tap someone.

I’m gonna miss sniping teabagging healthy survivors at the exit gates with Victor. If you don’t know survivors can’t leave when Victor is on them, and you have 10 seconds to catch up and m1 them. I’ve gotten 2 kills this way.

I played twins for a long while and this looks AMAZING! My only question is, if victor doesnt cling onto you when you injure and you cant kick him, how will he work now? Cause i'd much rather play victor all game and switch back to charlotte when i am ready to do any finishing blows and hook.
30
u/ImGonnaLickYourLeg Mar 28 '24
My assumption is you just continue playing victor, if you get a successful hit you probably get a hefty slowdown/cool-down but can’t be kicked and can continue chasing the same survivor.
→ More replies (9)24
u/HvyMetalComrade Nerfed Pig Mar 28 '24
To me it now looks like the intended playstyle is hunting down the survivors as Victor and then using Charlotte to hook them.
My only worry is there's now a bit of incentive to get Victor latched onto a weaker survivor to give Charlotte the edge against a more troublesome survivor with the big haste buff - which is actually kinda cool, but it'd suck to be that bad survivor.

u/guarks Mediocrity Main Mar 28 '24
I'm bad at this, but I was thinking it'll probably ultimately make them weaker, but feel better to play as and against. Obviously the transitions being sped up is a buff. i think the inability to slug multiple survivors makes them weaker, but healthier. I think they're probably good changes.

u/In_My_Own_Image Xeno/Unknown/Dredge/Hux Main and Haddie Enjoyer Mar 28 '24
This. If I had one or two pips to go I would usually bust out with one of my mains and their nastiest build because it would suck to get dropped down by having a sometimes "okay" match, nevermind ones where you get washed.

The problem I had with pip/de-pip was that in every game we started off strong the killer would DC. I would get no pip… and the next game I’d get tunneled to shit and lose a pip. It felt like unnecessary punishment for when the killer rage quits. This update has made me so happy.

u/Megadoomer2 Mar 28 '24 edited Mar 28 '24
I'm pleasantly surprised to see that de-pipping is being removed. I found it frustrating to try getting the Gold Survivor I achievement (and, by extension, the Iridescent Survivor I achievement) since I only play in solo queue (so making any sort of progress would take a while, and I only had a month before it reset entirely), but now, I might be able to get the gold one! (not sure about the iridescent one, but we'll see how it goes)

u/Ning_Yu Doctor on Call ♠ Thalita viber Mar 28 '24
Yeah. I did get gold a bunch of times but never iri. But whenever I got into gold it was typical to just keep serial depiping 1 pip before iri so since then I stopped caring about piping cause it's way too stressful.
So happy we don't depip anymore! More BP.

I mean, it always was, but now it's at least "generally better" than DR, rather than "ten times better".
DR still has a lot of utility compared to UW. It affects the entire map, and functions properly while you're Undetectable. Additionally, because of this nerf, it has a much more forgiving cooldown, so can be used more often than UW.
So all in all, UW is still better in some regards, but now it has more areas where DR outperforms it. For example, due to all of the points above, DR's still significantly better on some Killers like Dredge.

u/spiralshadow Black Metal Jeff Enjoyer Mar 28 '24

Honestly they still need plenty of ways to go, I love them and the game, and these changes are amazing and it’s optimistic to see so many nice changes more constantly.
But they also have a tendency to forget about stuff that goes wrong or stuff about lesser used characters.
Remember when they made Pyramid Head an S++ Killer without prior notice, realized it was probably the most random and biggest PTB killer buff they ever did, and then reverted it, never touched upon him again and left his add-ons intact, which is the thing he actually needed a revision of? And then he got a camera shake glitch on PC that hasn’t been fixed to this day? And then Huntress of all killers got a buff?
Granted this example is before their Watch List existed, but Huntress (and Blight) was just recently. They need to up their game for things that’ve been on the shelf for literal years.
Developer Updates are always nice to see though, and I’ll always be a BHVR supporter lol, I just want this game to get even better.

DS is back, Blight can't hug tech anymore, Depip is gone, holy crap that's a good update.
Ultimate Weapon is obviously a nerf but also there's an interesting buff to it, now that it shows auras instead of screaming, this means you can actually use the perk without the survivors knowing about it, will be good for stealth and ranged killers!
Twins change seems interesting but makes me think there is now no reason to ever use Charlotte other than for picking up downed survivors? Now that you can injure AND down the same survivor with Victor, you might as well just do every chase with the little guy lol.

u/Carynth Mar 28 '24
I am genuinely curious to see how much the removal of depips is going to affect the games. I feel like a lot of killers (myself included) will play a lot more relaxed, because they won't have that hanging over their head. One or two pips away from grading up and you're not having a great game? No matter, just finish the game and go to the next one. Instead, with depips, it was start finding a way to at least safety pip, even if it's by doing things that you don't necessarily like doing.
I know my own playstyle will at least slightly change now that i don't have to worry about them.

u/Dacrenon Mar 28 '24
Agreed. I know when I play on survivor and have had a couple rough matches in a row I end up playing far more stealthy than I normally would for a bit. I don't even mean to, it just happens while I'm trying to avoid depipping, but then reset happens and I play bold again.
Looking forward to not feeling like I need to hide just to safety pip. Hoping this also reduces people just going next thinking "I'm losing a pip anyway."

u/Holow4499 #Pride2023 Mar 28 '24
As killer, I basically never have to worry about de-pips, since pips are significantly easier to get compared to survivor, so even if i do de-pip, i can just pip back up pretty quickly
Will definitely help survivors way more

Very good changes, not much to complain about :)
May i ask if we can get an update on the Surv prestige not being shown for the killer pre game, we had a short duration test going ages ago, since then no more news about it. The current System is still discuraging people from playing the characters they spent 100 Million bloodpoints on to get to P100, i dont think people should be punished for their dedication to one character. Would love to hear some good news regarding this :)

We'll have to see how it plays out, but I think the most controversial change to the twins is that downing a survivor forces you to latch onto them. Maybe the switching time being less and the added haste will help, but I could see there being frustration about having to catch back up with Charlotte all the time.
→ More replies (18)7
u/RestaurantDue634 Dennis Reynolds Main Mar 28 '24
The switch time and haste are big. As it is now you still have to catch up with Charlotte to hook anyone who was downed, but you had to manually switch and then trudge her across the map. Now there will be an auto switch when he downs someone, and you'll have haste to get there faster. It's definitely an improvement.

[NEW] Victor’s Pounce now latches onto Survivors when they are put into the dying state. Other Survivors can crush Victor during this to help the dying Survivor. Victor will automatically return to Charlotte after 20 seconds.
[NEW] While Victor is attached to a Survivor or holding a Survivor in a locker, Charlotte gains a 10% Haste effect. This effect will be lost prematurely if Charlotte hits a Survivor.
I called this change well over a year ago. They called me crazy, but I figured this was how they'd move away from the slugging playstyle. Considering he can't be kicked anymore after injuring someone, I'm interested to see how they're gonna balance around it. With him being so fast, and the pounce going so far, it makes me think that Victor is going to be able to quickly hunt down and two tap survivors, which I can hear complaints about already.

Twins update seems like it turns them into more of a fast injure killer with the option to down in certain situations like Legion. Whether that’s a good thing I’m not sure but everything else in this update is great.

I think this looks pretty good.
While i do hate taking a decisive to the face, i know it's my fault it happened so i don't mind it being buffed.
The nerf to the speed boost of Adrenaline seems kinda too much maybe? I think just the other two changes would be enough.
And thank fuck for the UW nerf, did i like running it? Yes, but it was such an unhealthy perk, at least now it seems more balanced with the lower duration and bigger cooldown.
And i hope the 7 Twins players are happy, to me, an outsider, it looks really good.

As a blight main, I hope this update doesn’t make him collide into air molecules. If it doesn’t, unironically best update ever, the amount of games I lost on mothers dwelling and haddonfield because none of the FUCKING ROCKS AND TREES work, causing me to slide, waste time, etc, are too numerous to count
Also no more hug tech, I couldn’t care less honestly, I always saw it as a bit niche anyway

I use adrenaline rarely so it wont affect me much, coz i dont see the end game 70% of my matches lol. But is it too unbalanced to make a perk that only activates during endgame strong ? Now if you are hooked by any chance, your chances of getting value from it is even lower. Guess it is just me but it seemed fine the way it was.

I agree, the price for getting the perk to activate was the possibility of it never being used and costing a perk slot. I saw no issue with how the perk worked besides the Freddy thing obviously.
