New Killer - The Dark Lord

Killer Power

His dark power allows him to exact revenge on humans, taking many forms to terrorize and slaughter them.

The Dark Lord has access to three Forms and can freely change between them. Each Form has unique abilities and strengths.

• Vampire Form - In his default state, The Dark Lord can use the powerful Hellfire spell, which creates pillars of flame that travel ahead of him and can be cast across low obstacles.
• Wolf Form - In Wolf Form, The Dark Lord has access to several abilities that allow for more effective tracking. Movement speed is increased, blood pools and scratch marks are more apparent, and Survivors leave a trail of Scent Orbs behind them. The Dark Lord can collect these Scent Orbs to charge a powerful Pounce attack.
• Bat Form - While in Bat Form, The Dark Lord gains the Undetectable status effect. Additionally, he moves faster, ignores vault points, and can Teleport to any vault points within 32 meters. Survivors become invisible, but scratch marks can be seen.

Live Data Reboot

As part of our Live operations, we occasionally deploy updates to the game without needing an update of the game application itself. These updates includes killswitches and new cosmetics, amongst other data. Starting from this release, when a critical data update is required to be downloaded by the game, you may see a popup asking you to return to the splash screen.

UX

  - Players can now toggle Rotation mode to use the R-stick to rotate the character preview, as in the Store, so they don't need to press A on top and use the joystick.

  - Cosmetic subtab defaults to Outfits instead of Heads.

• Settings Menu

  - Disabled options are shown are greyed out, instead of having a black/transparent background.

Misc

• The Prestige levels of other players is no longer visible within an Online Lobby (post-matchmaking).
• Upgraded EasyAntiCheat to new version.
• There is now a limit of 10000 of any Item, Add-on or Offering.
