Dead by Daylight: 10.2.1 Bugfix Patch: what changed

Dead by Daylight: 10.2.1 Bugfix Patch was published on Oct 14, 2026 and includes 1 adjustment and 41 fixes.

RSS feed
TL;DRThis bugfix patch adjusts when Survivors can Surrender and when Killers can End Trial, so both options apply when the remaining opponents are bots. Killer Powers with a stack count now show 0 on the HUD when the stack is depleted, and The Mastermind's Virulent Bound redirects better. The rest of the notes are bug fixes for audio, bots, characters, maps, perks and the interface.

Who this matters to

Players in matches with bots

Surrender replaces Abandon when no other human Survivors remain, and Killers can End Trial when all remaining Survivors are bots.

Structured by Nerf Radar from the official notes (parsed automatically and reviewed by hand). Official Dead by Daylight patch notes from the Steam news feed (Behaviour Interactive). Perk and killer numbers are listed as adjustments without a buff or nerf label, because whether a change helps depends on the build. Where a was note could not be matched cleanly to its line, the line is held. Known issues, Dev notes and event notes are not tracked. Source: store.steampowered.com · fetched Oct 20, 2026.
