March 10, 2023 (St Patricks 2023)

Gameplay Changes

Puzzles

• Added indicator on all 3 sides of pillars to display how many puzzles are solved on that pillar
• Toy part now comes out of the pillar's door
• Increased number of rounds for the reflex from 10 -> 16

Survivors

• Reduced auto-revive time from 60s -> 30s
• Improved first-person animations when using grabpack
• Added animations for breathing in lockers

Perks and Sabotages

Power Walker has been changed to Roly Poly

1. Level 1 grants 1.5x roll distance, Level 2 grants 2x roll distance, Level 3 grants 2.5x roll distance.
2. Roll cooldown reduced from 5s -> 4.25s
3. Roll cooldown now starts when the roll ends

Distant Savior Number Adjustments

1. Level 1: 20% faster revive time
2. Level 2: 30% faster revive time
3. Level 3: 40% faster revive time

Leave No Trace rework

1. Players without the perk will leave footsteps always, whether crouching, walking, or sprinting.
2. Crouching with this perk equipped for 0.25s will make all existing footsteps quickly disappear
3. Level 1: no footsteps while crouching
4. Level 2: no footsteps while walking
5. Level 3: no footsteps ever
6. This does not change audio cues, only visual footprints.

Developer note: No Trace wasn't very useful before. This should make it viable to run, and the other adjustments should increase the risk associated with not running it.

Shadow Walker number adjustments

1. Level 1: 50% faster crouch move speed
2. Level 2: 75% faster crouch move speed
3. Level 3: 100% faster crouch move speed

Think Fast rework

1. Now reduces the number of rounds on the Reflex puzzle
2. Level 1: 2 fewer rounds
3. Level 2: 4 fewer rounds
4. Level 3: 6 fewer rounds

Developer note: the Reflex puzzle was very fast to complete, and the old Think Fast perk wasn't very strong. Increasing the required rounds to 16, and reworking a perk to allow players to effectively revert the puzzle to its pre-patch numbers, should increase the difficulty while increasing the viability of running this perk.

No Pack

1. Grabpacks can be repaired instantly, and survivors get UI showing who needs their grabpack fixed
2. Level 1: Sabotage lasts 5 seconds
3. Level 2: Sabotage lasts 10 seconds
4. Level 3: Sabotage lasts 15 seconds

Developer note: No Pack wasn't very fun to play against, and repairing took way too long to be worth it. This change hopefully reduces some frustration surrounding this sabotage, while increasing the skill required to use it effectively.
