Earlier today,Behaviour Interactiveconfirmed that the next killer to joinDead By Daylight’s ever-expanding roster of horror characters would be none other than Chucky. Now, just a mere few hours after its announcement, PC players will be able to test out the new killer via Dead By Daylight’s latest PTB update.
Unfortunately, console players will need to wait for Chapter 30’s full release, which has been confirmed for November 28th. As for PC players, if you want to check out Dead By Daylight’s new killer, you’ll need to opt into the game’s beta branch, which is known as the ‘player test build’ or ‘PTB’ for short.

The PTB branch is only available via the Steam version of Dead By Daylight, but does give players the opportunity to test out yet-to-be-released features and provide feedback to the developers in preparation for the chapter’s full release. To opt in, navigate to Dead By Daylight in your Steam library, right-click it and select ‘properties’. A new window will then appear, and you’re going to want to navigate to the ‘betas’ tab and select ‘public-test’ from the drop-down menu.
Now that you’re all set up on Dead By Daylight’s PTB servers, you’ll need to know what’s in store for today’s update. Check out the official patch notes for the Dead By Daylight x Chucky update, also known as the Chapter 30 update, below.
New Killer - The Good Guy
Killer Power
The Good Guy has two separate modes he can switch between; Normal Mode and Hidey-Ho Mode. Due to his short height, The Good Guy also has a fixed third-person camera positioned above and behind him, giving the player a better view of his surroundings. He is also much shorter than other Killers making him very stealthy, however he leaves fading footprints behind as he walks.
Special Ability: Hidey-Ho Mode
Press the Active Ability button to enter Hidey-Ho Mode for 20 seconds. While in this mode, the Killer has no Terror Radius, and “distraction” footprints and audio are spawned all across the map.
Special Attack: Slice & Dice
While in Hidey-Ho Mode, press and hold the Special Attack button to charge up a Slice & Dice Attack. When charged, sprint forward at high speed, triggering an attack at the end (or whenever the Special Attack button is released).
Special Ability: Scamper
While in Hidey-Ho Mode, when you are near a vault or pallet, press the Interaction button to scamper through it quickly without breaking it.
Killer Updates - The Trickster
Trickster Add-on Updates
Perk Updates
Map Updates
The largest Maps in the game,Mother’s DwellingandThe Temple of Purgationof the Red Forest Realm, have been reduced in size. This will help both roles enjoy a play area that is consistent with the other maps. While we were making adjustments to the Red Forest Realm, we also did a pass on the gameplay of the tiles and improve the navigation and the readability of the map.
The Garden of Joyalso benefited from a gameplay pass. The house has been revisited to find a better combination of obstacles and reduce the strength of some of the windows. A pass on the tiles has also been done, since the visibility was making it hard for players to enjoy a better navigation in the map and bring the focus on the chase, loops and all interactions. The Killer Shack was also very crowded around the walls and made the collisions known through all realms hard to run consistently, we have cleared the area.
Graphics Update
Player Profile and Customizable Player Cards
Players can now expect to find their level and grades on a new screen - their Player Profile! Select the badge in the top right (of most menus) to open it.
Players now have a Player Card in the Profile screen and can earn collectable banners and badges to customize it! New banners and badges come in a variety of rarities and appearances and can be earned from Tome and Archive rewards as well as Events. Players will be able to see their new customized player cards in a variety of menus including the end-of-match tally screen where they can show them off to other players.
Note: during PTB, players will only have access to the default “empty” badge and banner.
