BHVR's full Dead by Daylight 10.2.0 patch notes landed on 6 October 2026, changing 58 perks. The real story is the Developer Update from the night before: Borrowed Time fully reverted, This is Not Happening narrowed, Dark Arrogance cut back, and Windows of Opportunity shipped over player objections anyway. What changed, why, and what it means for your loadout.

DBD's 10th-anniversary Black Banquet runs June 25 to July 16, 2026. Anniversary Cakes drop from hooks (killer side) and heals (survivor side). We tested which builds farm Cakes fastest: the regression-stack meta for killers, and a healing-focused perk stack for survivors. Includes daily grind numbers for Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 cosmetics.
CHAPTER 41: Chorus of Sin is Dead by Daylight's first community-created chapter, releasing August 25, 2026. It introduces The Judgment (44th Killer, divine Otherworldly staff-wielder with Ray of Retribution) and Aurora (first elderly female Survivor, Spiritual Scientist from a Collapsed World). Every design pillar was decided by community vote through BHVR's year-long The Grimoire program. We break down what we know, what the votes decided, and what is still unknown.
He is the 53rd Survivor, an Anishinaabe defense attorney voiced by Dallas Goldtooth, and his three perks were tuned to fit most existing builds. We cover who Shane is, what each perk does, the four best perk combos (including the meta Lithe + Wide Open Throttle pairing), and the cosmetic collection that lands with Chapter 40.5 on June 25.
Every Survivor hits the same question by level 15. Patch 10.0.0 didn't buff any of the four exhaustion perks, but the meta around them shifted. Here is the S-to-B tier list, a one-perk-swap decision tree for every Killer, and which perk wins in solo queue.
Ranked by real usage across 18 hand-tested survivor combos. S tier perks show up in five or more builds, F tier perks in none. Patch 10.0.0 meta edition.
Slugging is the most hated killer strategy in DBD. These three survivor builds counter it without comms, voice chat, or coordinated SWF play in solo queue.
