DBD BLIGHT COSMETICS UPDATE

With many items and perks considered crutches for survivors, along with the ability to run killers around loop areas, better survivors have made the game survivor-favorable. It's believed that the even is also being used as something helpful for the devs, as implementing the flowers gives the survivors a new objective each round.Ī longtime complaint from players is that, contrary to the game's intention, good survivors are much stronger than good killers. Many were expecting something that had pumpkins and other Halloween-themed objects scattered around maps, but I'm overall happy with how things are.Ĭonsidering how much effort went into designing and programming the new costumes, as well as implementing the new flower to the game, I'm not surprised little was done to the look of the map. The event thus-far has been lackluster to some, since the flowers are essentially given the same treatment and animation as generators, and the hooks are a simple change.

While obviously the designs don't update their abilities, they do get a more terrifying look befitting of a horror game. They are the costumes which can potentially be purchased during the event, featuring monstrous mutations on each killer, with vials of Blight shoved into them and the putrid mixture oozing from their bodies.įor me, the coolest new looks are for the Wraith and Doctor, both of him tend to be low on people's killer list. Speaking of the killers, numerous game-made killers got cosmetics for the event, having been infected with the Blight. Perhaps in the future we'll be seeing Baker in-game as a doctor-based killer using chemicals like Blight to his advantage. This idea, coupled with Baker's mention of something being wrong as he loses hope, followed by saying the Entity has arrived, suggest that he became something dark.

Meanwhile on the killer page, one of Baker's journal entries mentions his wonder about if the killers have any hope left, which has led to the idea that once a killer has lost all hope, they can become a killer. On the Entity page, it mentions that their souls are lost piece by piece as they are sacrificed and their hope and other positive emotions are devoured by the Entity, eventually leaving them cold, emotionless shells. While the Entity selected each current killer while they were already working as such, there is also an idea that survivors can eventually become killers. Now it has long been theorized that Benedict Baker, who has never before actually been seen, will eventually be introduced as a killer. Videos on the website show Baker's discovery of and experimenting with the Blight, beginning with a plant's growth. Within, Baker details finding Vigo's own journal in a laboratory with syringes, protective clothes, and chemicals.Īccording to Vigo's journal, the Entity undergoes a purge each year involving the Blight, and the Pustulus grow. The Serum can then be traded for cosmetics for characters, with players able to unlock 6 new cosmetic pieces for 2 total outfits.Īccording to the DBD Wikipedia, the event originally allowed players to get only 1 total outfit, but outrage from fans caused them to make the change.Īs part of the event, more game lore about Benedict Baker and Vigo, two unseen characters, was added to Baker's journal. The goal of this event is to harvest Putrid Nectar from the 'Pustulus Plants,' filling up vials to create Putrid Serum. Survivors who succeeded in finishing a certain number of the generators got a special outfit for Kate, and killer who succeeded in hooking got the Pro-pain Hillbilly hammer.įor this event, the killer again has special Cankerous Hooks, but survivors now have the addition of Visceral Cankers to deal with.

This event works similarly to the Summer BBQ event, where survivors worked on special generators and killers had special hooks.
