Scott didn't mention "Killer mori animations can now be viewed in the store." which more or less confirms new, paid moris are coming at least eventually

Depipping being no longer a thing is such a massive win for everyone

This just in: Scott Jund found dead in his home after discussing his positive opinions on decisive strike. Bearded Spanish man seen leaving the crime scene.

Scott forgot the best part of the adrenaline nerf: it dont wake you up from the dream work anymore

The Freddy buff was so good that Scott couldn’t even believe his own eyes and skipped right over it

hey breathe right strip, guys here, it's a scott. 7.7.0 ptb victor sounds like charlotte can deploy old legion but he gets killed by trying to pounce on flights of stairs. i think the ideal fix is twins remains unchanged but now you queue up as twins in a 2man with your buddy eric and one of you plays victor and the other charlotte so the match doesnt take forty six years

Seeing “improved collision detection” could mean literally anything and it’s scary. I didn’t even think about hug tech, but rather the times when you bounce when you don’t want to. We’ll have to wait and see, but this could be massive.

They’re called The Twins because two people play them 😂

Hey Scott! Guys here. We love your content😃

I feel like the Adrenaline change does nothing to SWF, but makes it worse for Solo Queue. Because as a SWF, you can just 99 that last generator until you unhook the survivor, then pop the gen. Meanwhile in Solo Queue, your teammates have no idea if you have adrenaline, and they just complete the gen and your perk does nothing.

oh my gosh I'm no longer gonna depip for playing chest defender bubba, we're so back

Ultimate weapon just feels weird to use if you’re a killer that doesn’t interact with lockers. Most perks that activate by doing other interactions feel more seamless because you’re actually doing something, like kicking a gen.

It would be funny if BHVR just forgot that Ultimate Weapon inflicts Blindness.

Damn, the devs were cooking with Twins for so long, they ended up burning them

Can't wait see the 7 new three gens this new Haddonfield creates

I don't know why I found this so funny, but when Scott says "Fortnite lookin' ass store" I just busted out laughing.

I think many people including behaviour never realized how strong of a chase power Victor was on his own, he can get guaranteed hits, pretty much anywhere if played correctly. He's really fast, he can outplay windows and pallets if needed, and fairly easy to control, the reason its gone so unnoticed is because of how rare it is to see Twins players, and because his use was limited with all his restrictions (and pretty reasonably so) The one and only thing I feel I can never reliably dodge after 5k hours in this game is Victor and his pounces, at that point, I'd rather be chased by a Nurse, no joke. Victor's gonna go nuts with these new changes.

Seeing Hex: Ruin and Decisive Strike get their nerfs reverted, I’m hoping for Spine Chill or Iron Will to see a revert too. Yes, it’s wishful thinking.

I will say the problem with twins is that VICTOR doesn't count as being in a chase ! So if thats the chase expect a lot of low boldness games when fighting twins if the killer mainly uses victor, so maybe they fixed it on the side i hope

The Twins was clearly built originally around the idea that viktor's pounce was going to be hit nearly every time. The old design "balanced" this (or attempted to) through the fact that you could only get a single health state off this if the survivors stayed uninjured, which meant you could end up investing a lot of time in getting that health state and then they had a chance to run and make use of the distance between viktor and charlotte before receiving any more hits. This rework seems absolutely cursed, it take's viktor's gauranteed pounce and now lets you use it multiple times without swapping back to charlotte. I agree that this does seem like it will.... at least mostly.... help combat the slugging style. (People may still leave viktor pinning a survivor while they chase to use that 10% speed for another super easy hit on a different survivor). Obviously we won't know till we see people playing with it, but this definitely feels like they buffed the crap out of her just to finally change the way people use her. "Careful what you wish for, survivor mains" - is that the main message here? lmao. I would have rather had a rework to the bleedout system so that people getting slugged don't even have the chance of being stuck there for four minutes doing nothing, it's just an awful design feature to experience, and it comes up repeatedly. I really liked someone else's suggestion of letting players crawl faster if they hold sprint, but making them bleed out 2-4 times as fast so they have a useful option that lets them get out faster. I'd even go so far as to allow them to pick themselves up exactly one time per match if their bleedout gets below 10-20% on the meter, to strongly incentivize killers to pick up all survivors and not lose track of them on the floor. (Just please god not the awful system they teased a year-ish ago where they were going to give everyone unbreakable after just being on the ground for 30-40 seconds, and allow repeated uses of it - that seems way more awful than a one time use that takes much longer to activate)

I wouldnt be surprised if some of the twins add ons they are reworking remove victors increased movement speed. Now that successful pounces cant be punished, victor doesnt need to be moving at such crazy high speeds. They might have just removed them or changed the effect entirely now - Forest stew and Toy Soldier I think?

They probably changed Ultimate Weapon from causing survivors to scream to just revealing them due to how insane UW was with Dead Man's Switch, you could hook a survivor, open a locker near them then walk around until you get a reveal which would also cause DMS to activate due to survivors being forced off the gen to do the scream animation, it was especially strong on smaller maps like Midwich and especially on killers who could manipulate their terror radius

Oh boy a distortion rat buff and lazy aura reading change that's borderline identical to other aura reading perks. All they had to do was increase the cooldown significantly, but no, now we have an Ultimate Weapon without a unique identity that gets hardcountered by one of the most annoying perks in the game

Ultimate weapon has been hard nerfed, bc now survivors can just counter it with distortion like all the other information perks.

I wonder how removing De-Pips will effect the "Hardcore Survivor" Series.🤔. Such a great QoL change.

"Dont tunnel you won't get hit by them" "And I took offence to that" *brings Background player, DS, Unbreakable, Flashbang, and a sabo box, and just follows you around after being unhooked so you can't pick anyone up but also can't pick me up if you do down me, and can locker hop so you can't down me and move on*

I will die on this hill but I think Ultimate Weapon should activate when you open a locker and survivors within your radius at the time are revealed then and there. No walking around with it. I had the same opinion when survivors screamed. It should just be locker based, not travel around based.

FINALLY they made DS the way I wanted it to be, 5 seconds like older DS but with the new DS' restrictions, I've been begging for this for ages.

I’ve already seen complaints about the decisive change on twitter

Regarding Ultimate Weapon, I think the devs were simply saying that survivors will be less likely to notice when it triggers because they're not screaming. Yes, if you're watching the HUD icons carefully you'll notice the Blindness icon come up (unless maybe you were already Blind from something else possibly?), but if you're busy doing something else you might not be paying that close attention to that part of the screen and miss it.

10:03 Correct, you can already do that, and now it is stronger. The problem with all of these anti-tunnel perks is that they can be used OFFENSIVELY to force the killer into an unwinnable decision. You either go after the guy in your face preventing you from going after someone else, then eat the anti-tunnel build, or you are forced to waste time on that person letting the other escape. They should do this, but then also make it so instead of getting endurance after unhook, you have 0 collision and hitbox for 10-15 seconds. That way you not only CANNOT be tunneled, but you also can OFFENSIVELY use these types of things against the killer.

"This is either going to force killers to get better at the game or they're just going to stop playing." Based

"If you're worried about these anti-tunnel perks, don't tunnel" Solutions often are truly that simple

Vile Scott: “Just stop tunneling” Killers who tunnel: 😠

I think the Blight change refers to the fact that on Ormond he would slide off most rocks instead of hitting them even when running into them face first

The Blight change is for when you are looking directly at a rock, tree, or side of a hill, rush at it, and somehow fail to bump off it. It happens literally every time I play Blight.

Still weird to see DBD getting a monthly update

the whole rant about tunnelling is very true, if you run 4 anti tunnel perks as survivor and the killer just never tunnels you, you're missing out on information with kindred or bond, heal speed with botany or we'll make it, endgame rescues with buckle up for the people and so much more Running 4 anti tunnel builds is basically saying "'I'm happy to play this game perkless, as long as you don't play like an asshole"

I think by improved bump collision they meant for trees and objects that you would slide off of even with a direct hit. I don't think it will apply to hug tech.

Adrenaline not working after being hooked only hurts solo q because in a swf you can still communicate when to finish the gen

Victor is now the most terrifying killer in dbd..

My only concern with ultimate weapon changes is, ik ultimate weapon was busted, distortion... as an oni main who runs 3-4 aura perks in every build, i felt like i was forced to use this perk instead, typically 1-2 survivors have distortion in my matches and while I know I can still focus the ones without distortion, tunneling is not really my cup of tea and I feel like this change is just gonna make distortion more valuable and it's gonna incentivize killers to give up on aura reading more and maybe turn their focus on slowdown perks

Decisive Strike's effect could be made base kit for 2 or 3 seconds and the perk could add 2 or 3 seconds to the stun.

They either forgot about mentioning blindness on Ultimate Weapon or gonna remove it

You skipped over the change to Adrenaline that used to make it wake Survivors up! Us three Freddy players are very miffed!!!

If you honestly believe that simply “ignoring” or “just don’t tunnel” is going to do anything against people who’s whole build is based on MAYBE getting tunneled…. And you honestly think they won’t use those perks offensively (which is the problem) then I’ve got a nice bridge in Baltimore to sell you.

I imagine the Blight collision is more of, "You won't slide off a rock or hill when you run straight into it," but I'm sure that could easily still affect at least some hugtechs

I hope they can fix that one glaring error with the Twins, cause I do actually like the other changes (on paper). Would be cool to see them around more.

"YOu cAn gEt Ds frEE in tHe ShrInE!" I agree fully. DS shouldn't be a perk you have to buy. They should do what they did with Demo, Nancy and Steve; make the perk base kit and give Laurie a new perk

The aura read for UW is 3 seconds according to a dev on the dbd forum.

Interesting that Victor will trigger the anti camp bar, potential hug tech removal ? As long as they remove it from every other killer as well.

DS needs to disable killer powers for 5 or 10 seconds after the stun so it affects killers with and without mobility more equally. Buffing it in this way alone is just furthering the gap between the strongest and weakest killers which is one of the biggest fundamental problems with the game. You can't balance anything when you have nurse blight spirit billy etc. in the same game as freddy trapper ghostface etc.

thanks for the vid I just finished everywhere

@14:31 Well at least Distortion rats are gonna be eating good this patch, love the fact UW is reduced to yet another aura reading perk because I guess we just arbitrarily decided aura reading and haste is where perk innovation begins and ends, in this case it doesn't even do anything unique aside from the blindness which may or may not still even be a feature of the perk, might as well just run darkness revealed, nowhere to hide or nurses calling at that rate.

I think this version of UW might work more like Nowhere To Hide, where it just reveals survivors in your terror radius for the 15 second duration.

RIP the hug tech, i'm genuinely so frustrated but mostly just sad

Oh boy. Lynxi is gonna be pissed

My twins build was based solely around slugging. I'm gonna need to change it up.

For Ultimate Weapon one of the Devs on the forum said the aura reading itself will last only 3 seconds.

Why is no one talking about the "Added a weekly gift that can be claimed for free"? If that reward is a bunch of iri shards, it can be a pretty nice F2P addition to the game imo.

Thank god they’re fixing ds, need some good anti tunnel perks

I think the easiest way to make decisive strike to not feel "pay to win" is to make it a perk that "increases stun durations on the killer" and either have the old decisive strike effect be basekit, or as one of the perks that is unlockable on any survivor by default

You get the speed boost after getting hit and Victor goes in cooldown for a whole 5 seconds still. It's not as bad as you probably think. But yes he will catch up pretty soon after still.

So Ultimate Weapon is basically Darkness Revealed but with blindness ???? xD

DECISIVE STRIKE MY BELOVED. WE’RE SO BACK.

5:30 hug tech has always been a really good way to learn blight and it made him easier to learn for newer players , removing hug tech would make him even harder ( im an experienced blight player )

Probably like nowhere to hide where it's while in the the terror radius but triggered by opening lockers.

my question is if they are getting rid of that nasty slowdown twins gets at a hook can they pls get rid of it for singularity?

Honestly ultimate weapon changes kinda feels like a straight nerf just on the grounds they switched it from scream (bypasses distortion) to aura reveal (affected by distortion) that just tells me devs partially didn't understand why ultimate weapon became popular. (Aka it bypasses distortion)

The twins update is overall good been playing them since release only issue is one you can still slug the right thing to do would be hit everyone first free down then use the 10% to get another and from there you got the ball rolling the 10% needs to he on a timer like 20 sec maybe 30 sec the fact that I can move 10% till i get a hit is kind of wild i can slap on enduring and turn off my brain and just walk through pallets till i get a hit overall though I think this twins update is goos

I hope Blight's hug tech won't be nerfed heavily. Only the crazy stuff from montages, but some basic uses will still be there (+ V1 tech. Omg how many hits this tech gave me). + I hope this improved collision will also be a good thing. Yesterday I lost 6 chases on mother's dwelling because some objects had 0 collision

Scott! You didn’t mention that there are new mori’s coming to the store! Biggest upgrade

Let’s make one thing clear: If you are eating DS you are playing sub-optimally.

Idk why they overcomplicated the power When you unbind Victor, only allow him to be used for a certain amount of time (30 seconds, for example) Then have it that on a longer cooldown (1 minute, for example) Charlette and Victor can switch positions That way, you don't have to worry about Victor being overbearing, and it gets rid of the slugging problem without introducing haste

i think it will create interesting pincer plays similar to how knight plays

I think to fix the twins issue with Victor chases. Make it where the person who was hit by Victor can't kick, but other survivors can. This incentives team play with survivors so Victor doesn't get easy downs, but would make it riskier for survivors because their together and the twins could snowball from that.

Ngl the twins changes sound like the first exciting change to this game since the last time i enjoyed the game (wesker chapter) might actually have to come back for this

I think the reason they made twins the way they did was to actually get people to play them, so they’d get more feedback. If they barely changed much nobody would want to play them still so they’d never get the feedback or at least not enough to determine if any change that was made was beneficial enough

As a Twins main, these changes take away so much player choice. For me as the Twins, I can’t decide that I want to plop Victor on a hill for surveillance after I down someone, or decide to pounce on that idiot barely hiding with a flashlight near the downed survivor. As survivor, they can no longer choose to take Victor “hostage” and deny the killer their power (even if it was technically only for a short time).

Dead Hard isn't deactivated from not tunneling. You can still use it as long as you're injured.

theres nurse, blight, spirit, billy etc. just to name a few who down you in 1 second or 10 second. they just buffed her to A+ as it looks like, and is still weaker than the ones i named before

My one concern about DS being again is people abusing it to bodyblock -- not only does it punish killers more reliably if they attempt to punish the bodyblocker (which realistically they should), but it encourages more people to use DS this way as a result. The perk is defensive in spirit, but making the stun so long empowers it as an aggressive option, which I don't think is healthy.

Honestly the thing I’m most excited about is DS being brought back to 5 seconds, with all the little caveats that made it annoying back in the day removed (no longer protected while doing a Gen, it deactivates in endgame). I agree this is definitely the best version of the perk.

Considering how they take these ptbs i think they'll find a balance for twins

Tbh idk how many times my character will get stuck and completely HALT on some invisible micro pixel when im hugging too close but blights were able to slide off and around 90° angles yeah that shit was dumb

Without hug techs Blights will actually be stronger. Sliding makes it a 50/50 chance and survivors have a chance to leave a loop which he is sliding. With bump logic survivors' only option is to gain distance by pre running

Honestly just being able to hit a survivor as Viktor without worrying that some random survivor will come up and punish me for hitting an attack is all I needed

The aura reading for ultimate weapon is 3s it's a dead perk for 90% of killers

Devs said the Aura read is 3s for Ultimate.

How did that Twins change take literal YEARS to make? I expected more to be honest.

I love how Scott just straight up said fuck you to all M1 killers who were already hard to win with against good survivors. Get good strat doesnt work if the killer has a skill ceiling.

I've never done this before, but I'm definitely dc'ing all my twins games now

Scott u literally said the same thing about ds as me before reading it. That change alone i belived since 6.1 would save solo que! Ds buff was a major change

Depipping being removed is a good thing, but i can see it backfiring horribly. I imagine It'll make hook suicides happen even more with the threat of losing pips gone. Good for normal solo q, bad for the people who see a killer they don't like and turn the game into a 3v1 at 5 gens.

I’m just picturing this mythical killer scenario where DS just keeps being forced on this poor innocent killer that definitely isn’t putting himself in this scenario over and over again lol.

I really enjoy the update reviews. Thanks Scott ❤

ultimate weapon means for 15 seconds you see all auras

As one of the few twins players, i do feel positive about the changes. Twins will basically enter top 5 killers in the game due to this ability to *demolish* survivors. But anyone facing them will feel misery unless the killer purposefully decides to play hit & run. Fun to play as, unfun to play against. Not good

Let’s go now I can finely rank up even if I’m being tunneled 200 times in a row🔥🔥

The factor that determines a Major/Medium/Minor change probably aren't gameplay impact, more so development time as the difficult of a UI overhaul is probably more time consuming and more indicative of a major change than changing DS time from 3-5 ya know
