Green maps can now be used to track totems, and broken keys can now open the hatch. It's niche, but don't call it useless. It's strongest on the weakest items and weakest on the strongest items. That's good design, imo.
The fact Pounce is now longer cancelled when hitting something makes this killer actually feel worth getting I'm surprised they buffed his basic zoning attack, though
The only thing i dont understand is why "Human Greed" even have cooldown.This power have perfect natural limit - amount of chests on the map. And its not like survivors HAVE to open all closed chests as an objective or anything. What, survivors gonna DC because killer closed too many chests? While kicking gens dosnt have any cooldown.
That's because opening chests takes longer than stopping a gen from regressing, that takes five seconds I think, while chests take 20 or 30 if I remember correctly? If it was me I wouldn't want that time wasted. Plus maybe some killers benefit from chests a lot more, like Vecna for example (though I don't know if these perk works with his unique chests)
@@ant00nio93 It dosnt work on vecnas chests. Open normal chest is 10 seconds, reopen closed chest is 5. And waste your time is this perk's the only purpose.
As someone who has played Knight a lot since his release, this buff seems really nice! A big weakness of Knight was that if you deployed a long range guard, and didn't find anyone, you were stuck without a power for 20-30 seconds. This was especially punishing if you got into a chase or such! This new rework to his power allows you to use the carnifex for things such as shredding pallets or damaging gens, jailer to lock down an area, or assassin to threaten someone post aura read. It gives the player more options, whilst still having the removal of the previously incredibly dull knight gameplay of "drop guard at pallet". This change also encourages Knight players to cycle their guards more, switching up which ones they use rather than simply always relying on one of them. Between this and guards being buffed, Knight feels like he's a much more fun killer both to play as and against, imo - especially since the knight himself isn't encouraged to chase the person being harassed by a guard! He's almost certainly still not going to be a super popular killer, but he feels a lot more unique now, and his ability to threaten survivors or be in multiple places at once should allow him to keep up pressure - though if he wants to use stuff like Carni in a chase, he has to drop any active hunt he might have!
Not only that but Carnifex is essentially useless, since his main gimmick is to kick gens and break pallets faster, using him with a universal 10 second cooldown feels punishing when you could do it yourself and save a guard. This means you're force to use the same guard over and over again whether it's Jailer or Assassin. That would certainly make things more bland for the survivor side. That's why I believe this is a great change. Basically what I suggested when people were complaining about 10 second cooldown for all guards.
I know people love these buffs but nemesis need a rework. The zombies , addons and contaminations are useless and do nothing , you still need to hit 3 times and give them free speed boost and nemesis doesnt feel like nemesis like in the resident evil series , hes not a threat .
I've always been so interested in the Knight AND Nemesis, little AI companions in literally any game are my favorite aspect if done right, so seeing Nemesis being better on top of his wildly inconsistent (ranging from S+ tier plays to F tier plays) zombies makes me happy and I've already been picking him back up waiting for this to drop. And seeing the Knight become more able to use his different guards in different situations makes me happy as well. Yes he's kind of miserable but sadly what makes him miserable is what appeals to me most, I'd love to see BHVR in the future make him fun for survivors to go against somehow whilst maintaining strength and interest from a Killer's perspective, but I also understand this will likely always just be a dream
making the wolf 115 is a terrible idea, no point to even touch hellfire when you can just wolf all game essentially playing wesker with a little less range constantly getting haste from orbs. just get rid of the haste lol no reason to have both
@@aegislight5996I mean i agree that the M1/M2 pallet gameplay had too be changed but there were other things they could do instead of introducing clunky cool downs. But it's the easiest change to do so it was what we got.
@@kogzy4010 thanks for the suggestion, I do. However, there are killer and survivor perks that change who the obsession is. I believe weave attunement might be nerfed in the future
The thing about Human Greed is that it sounds good on paper, but kicking a chest to reset the timer but the survivor can open the chest drop there item pick up the chest item and then drop it in front of the box.
you don't kick the chest closed to deny an item, you kick it closed to regain the free aura reading near chests. Think of things like main building chests and shack chests. Still not the strongest perk mind you, but the point of it isn't to deny items
I think the best way to describe the Nemesis successful attack buff is that it’s average human reaction speed, which really puts into perspective how big that buff is
I think the only way to make Nemesis A tier or possibly higher is to give his whip strike a multi-hit mechanic in tier 3, although that might be too strong. Maybe just being able to control zombies with CTRL and making them walk to generators you target (kind of like how Freddy targets a generator and holds CTRL to teleport to it, except you first mark a zombie and then the generator you want it to go to) Again, that also might be too strong because it gives the killer full agency over 2 assets that can injure and down survivors..
As much as I love playing Nemesis and these buffs, it's kind of bittersweet If they're tweaking him this much, it means he's never getting a rework He's supposed to be a rush-down brute, instead he's a basic zoning attack with an inconsistent AI passive
Honestly I think it would be hilarious if in tier 2 or something he gets a bit of a longer lunge and it's a two-hit thing too just like in RE3 Remake, but honestly that's all I would want for him. Let's be real they're never giving this guy a flamethrower or a rocket launcher, and (unfortunately) Wesker is already there being the rushdown guy. At least the whip is unique and has its own tech!
I think Knight is gonna feel better to vs and play, but I’ll keep it at a TBD Making him have stronger macro game without making him this one trick pincer attack pony, trying to encourage people to actually get creative with his power might actually make him fun. I kept thinking these Swiss Army knife killers could’ve been him.
bat form didn't receive a teleport buff, sad teleport on bat is useless in any scenario except when you need to go through a floor or a massive wall, its speed is slower than base flight speed
Knight change is amazing. Like the dev note says “having a shared cooldown lead to only using the strongest guard”. This will make the knight feel more fluid and actually worth using the different guards. For survivors idk how it’ll feel but I can imagine it being more fun to see all the guards be used instead of constantly being forced into an assassin chase 24/7. Overall I think it’ll massively buff them so I am actually expecting a nerf sometime soon.
I'm really concerned the extra buffs to Nemi are gonna be too much and then they're gonna nerf him back to worse than PTB to overcompensate or something stupid
Now here's a fun Question: Will Exultation have a 1% chance to Upgrade items into Events items for the First month of its Release before getting patched? ~Kind-of like how Nicolas Cage's Dramaturgy had a chance to give you a Medkit with a Blight Serum attached, before they removed that feature
I haven’t played the PTB so I’m only speaking from having watched gameplay, but it feels like the fx of Hellfire is very obscuring when in chase? Any time I saw someone use it on stream or on YT it looked like a pretty sizable window for someone to utilize as a blind spot.
I used to main knight for close to a year and honestly they add a lot of QoL to him but the CD are too long and the removal of insta ghost hurt him too much compare to all the other buff. It feel like they want the player to play knight like they play spirit exept you need to hope that the AI give you down so its just better to use spirit 99% of the time.
So Demo gets one pounce and gets slowed down when using it but wolf form gets two pounces and can be even faster then default? What's the logic there I'm missing?
@@ChaosTheStrange never said he had a cool down. I said he gets slowed down as he's charging and holding his one pounce. Two completely different things then a cool down
@@elfkaze I'm explaining that they are different levels of strength for two different drawbacks. It's pretty simple to grasp. Also how long are you holding Demo's charge for to even notice the slowdown past pallets? It's basically irrelevant outside of the basic pallet 50/50
Yes these are just feedback changes from the ptb which means dredge buff isn't getting changed. I was also a little confused from the title of the video.
Everyone always says Zombie RNG is awful but every Nemesis I play against has 300IQ SmartZombies™ that just patrol every gen I wanna do with Dejavu and then if I get chased, they're always at doorways or corners and I get pincer attacked and downed :( I'm convinced people just undervalue zombies or they're not having the shit luck I seem to have. I hate the Knight too and I think he's a very miserable killer to go up against. I get people are happy he got buffed but I just feel like it'll make him more obnoxious to deal with.
The knight rework is finally good. IF THEY DO NOT MESS UP AGAIN! Sure, after these months the skill floor of the knight is raised significantly but with this modification also the skill ceiling is rising.
YES! YES! YES! MY BOI! MY BOI KNIGHT IS BACK! Finally, the best strategy will no longer be just to keep spamming Assassin. I'm so ready to constantly have them guessing what guard is going to appear. The Knight is ready.
He was never gone tbh all they did is remove the braindead m2 at loop to instantly win playstyle and buffed the 2v4 (the fun part that actually takes skill to het value out of)
It's so funny seeing the Nemmy buffs because he was already an insanely good killer that gets vastly underrated. He is an absolute machine at getting downs. The core problem was that you basically had to play him to his max potential (i.e. never missing tentacles) or else his lack of map pressure and mobility would destroy him. He basically played on a precipice. Now, I wouldn't say these changes do much about that issue, but now he'll be even more of a machine at getting downs, feel a little better to play, and his early game will be slightly better. I do hope Pyramid Head ends up getting other QoL buffs and changes because I see no reason to ever pick him over Nemmy or Dracula now (unless you play him exclusively to tunnel). His tank controls are too horrendous and his ranged attack comes out too slow (way too easy to dodge). Not to mention the insanely obvious 'tell.'
@blueboy1958 Even with that, Nemmy can get incredibly quick downs. That's the reason it was implemented in the first place. Not to mention that once you get through the vaccines (very easy to do), it becomes a non-factor.
Man, as insane as those cooldowns for Guards are, just make him an m1 killer at this point. I usually play by having Carni quickly shred through pallets and having guards defend sabo and saves, cant do that much anymore. Does bhvr know how insanely fast gen speeds are and how obnoxious loops are? In 30 seconds it takes for Assassin cooldown to end they can literally pop two gens, i am not joking. Then i quickly use Carni to break a pallet and Jailer to get them off another gen, Assassina still on cooldown and im now an m1 killer. They need to have add ons to reduce cooldown back to 10 seconds, the two second ones they had wont cut it anymore.
No Scott, you didn’t become a normal speed killer, the orbs used to give 10% to 120% on ptb, now, it gives 5% but the wolf always had a max speed of 120% this didn’t change Source: Dev
In case this does gain traction btw, Scott, I’m a longtime viewer, and I have to say your handling of the me comp situation is ridiculous and horribly irresponsible, it’s the only view many get of the comp scene and it paints it horribly, the nos situation hit us just as bad, everyone was shocked, and then hens pulls, and then a new video comes out painting the community as pedos, it’s ridiculously demeaning and seeing every comment on your video be negative towards the community is just proof you could’ve used much more tact and shown people what the community actually is, and it’s actually just a community of dbd lovers that wanna test our might against other like minded individuals
It's cool that you're a dev, but no one takes the comp scene seriously. DBD is too random to ever be taken seriously like that. Unless you add preset maps, iron out the terrible ping issues, and the random crazy bugs of course. But as is most of us see your "competitions" as people turning Mario party Halloween edition into a sweat fest. I'm glad you're having fun, just don't expect us to think about you as anything but a club.
@@izzywn5802there are preset maps, they assign maps to every killer that everyone agrees on, and holy shit don’t be condescending and acting like it’s Mario party when it’s way more like super smash bros which has a flourishing comp scene, even tho there are random maps, items, and it can be considered a party game, people choose not to
And also btw there’s banned perks against certain killers so certain killers get more build freedoms if they’re weaker and survs are more restricted, and vise versa for strong killers, it’s a really fun time because even bad killers are given a shot this way, it’s why dredge comp is so fun, and why I love comp tbh, it makes it feel nice and fair so wins feel earned and not from randomness
@@dudeboymanguy07 No, by preset maps I mean with the same layout every time. Just cause everyone agrees on Gas Heaven doesn't mean everyone will get the same balanced gas heaven. And I'm not trying to be condensing. DBD is legitimately a casual party game, with far too many inconsistencies and no comp features. I mean, there isn't even a match replay feature, just a bunch of screen recordings lmao
I only love the knight bc of his design. His gameplay is meh and I'm not sure how these changes will affect him. I only play him bc I love medieval theme of him.
The Knight changes are actually fantastic, this gives you a reason to use the carnifex in some scenarios while being able to cancel bad patrols with a Jailer or Assassin. Overall, this is a HUGE upgrade to the QOL of the Knight and the only thing I was really wanting (besides the 'distraction' mechanic oversimplifying AI chase).
Can't wait to see Otz throw a fit about Exultation 😴 He was already whining about it when it was revealed for the PTB. So the fact that BHVR aren't nerfing it, I'm expecting another "BHVR never listen to the advice I give them waaa waaa waaa" video.
The knight changes are generally great and will give some variety to what guards are deployed. Being forced to manually hit a guard if you try to make a path and it whiffs was utterly atrocious and locked you out of your power, and sometimes even when a guard is on a hunt you'd want to recall them and force them somewhere else at times
I still wish bhvr would just try let Knight have multiple guards out at once. He was always meant to be a killer that could multitask. The entire concept of patrolling is pointless because if a guards doing it then you have no power. Obviously only one guard could hunt a survivor at a time though.
Letting Knight wait out the cool-down on all guards and summoning all 3 sounds like the most 0 brain cell pressure application ever even if the guards are ez to dodge. Might aswell just make guard hunt times perm until they get a hit
knight changes are going to be so unfun to verse, one of the best counters to knight was holding a guard so he just cant spam them on everyone. now they just take away a counter to a killer that was already unfun to verse?!
He can still only occupy only one survivor at a time with a guard, so I don’t get the complaint. The whole point of separating cooldowns is so that Knight should manage his cooldowns and use right guard for the right situation
That Knight change makes me think that BHVR is going to start listening to the community about things that aren't intended being fun, and maybe we might see more stuff like that implemented based on that instead of what *they* think is best. Good for them.
Seems like updates nowadays are just killer upgrades and ad ons. Guess survivors are worthless. Keep giving them playtime survivors, so killers can get more and more. Gg. As a survivor main, I'm very hype to get nothing like always.
Become a Killer main. People will continue to play survive with friends (mainly why people play survivor) at least that’s just my opinion. It’s fun not worrying about teamwork all the time. Give it a try bro.
Looks like I will need to get some PWYF stacks in order for wolf form to have proper speed. Come on BHVR stop being safe and up that shit to at least 4.8m/s.

Yes these are just feedback changes from the ptb which means dredge buff isn't getting changed. I was also a little confused from the title of the video.
I am really happy they buff Dracula but now I am scared they nerf him in next patch
That is their main intention. Buff him to get people to buy and then nerf a few weeks later. Happened to Vecna and it will happen here.
@CaptToilet vecna was only slightly nerfed post patch but he still retains his usefulness
@@CaptToilet vencna didn’t get nerf that hard but yes that usually what they do but I must sai they don’t do it a lot now but yeah Freddy LOL
@@djfox3cove589Were you there for the Freddy release?
@@djfox3cove589 Freddy doesn't deserve this. You leave him be :(
Everyone always says Zombie RNG is awful but every Nemesis I play against has 300IQ SmartZombies™ that just patrol every gen I wanna do with Dejavu and then if I get chased, they're always at doorways or corners and I get pincer attacked and downed :( I'm convinced people just undervalue zombies or they're not having the shit luck I seem to have.
I hate the Knight too and I think he's a very miserable killer to go up against. I get people are happy he got buffed but I just feel like it'll make him more obnoxious to deal with.
The knight rework is finally good.
IF THEY DO NOT MESS UP AGAIN!
Sure, after these months the skill floor of the knight is raised significantly but with this modification also the skill ceiling is rising.
Hold up, when the fuck did Scott get a Tom Selleck moustache? I didn't think it was possible...
Is he... THE CHOSEN ONE?!
Just waiting for the inevitable Weave Attunement change
What are the addon changes tho?They are hiding that info kinda sus
I like the Knight he is alot of fun these changes will make me not rely only on the Assasin
YES! YES! YES! MY BOI! MY BOI KNIGHT IS BACK! Finally, the best strategy will no longer be just to keep spamming Assassin. I'm so ready to constantly have them guessing what guard is going to appear. The Knight is ready.
im so ready to actually use the carnifex now i never wanted to waste my singular cooldown on him before since the other two seem way more useful.
He was never gone tbh all they did is remove the braindead m2 at loop to instantly win playstyle and buffed the 2v4 (the fun part that actually takes skill to het value out of)
ZEUS!!!! GIVE ME THE NEMO TOAD HIS FLAME THORWER AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!
It's so funny seeing the Nemmy buffs because he was already an insanely good killer that gets vastly underrated. He is an absolute machine at getting downs. The core problem was that you basically had to play him to his max potential (i.e. never missing tentacles) or else his lack of map pressure and mobility would destroy him. He basically played on a precipice. Now, I wouldn't say these changes do much about that issue, but now he'll be even more of a machine at getting downs, feel a little better to play, and his early game will be slightly better. I do hope Pyramid Head ends up getting other QoL buffs and changes because I see no reason to ever pick him over Nemmy or Dracula now (unless you play him exclusively to tunnel). His tank controls are too horrendous and his ranged attack comes out too slow (way too easy to dodge). Not to mention the insanely obvious 'tell.'
Absolute machine at getting downs
>Need 3 hits to down 💀
@blueboy1958 Even with that, Nemmy can get incredibly quick downs. That's the reason it was implemented in the first place. Not to mention that once you get through the vaccines (very easy to do), it becomes a non-factor.
I thought it was a fake patch notes for a minute lol, thanks for the trauma
I just wanted ti break a pallet with my gaurd and now I can
I’m exited for human greed. I can better defend my chest in the basement
Yesss my boi Nemmy is getting some love❤❤
That Knight feature was definitely intended & not a bug, they didn’t want to piss off survivors is all so they called it a bug.
Finally knight isn't cringe anymore
Man, as insane as those cooldowns for Guards are, just make him an m1 killer at this point. I usually play by having Carni quickly shred through pallets and having guards defend sabo and saves, cant do that much anymore.
Does bhvr know how insanely fast gen speeds are and how obnoxious loops are? In 30 seconds it takes for Assassin cooldown to end they can literally pop two gens, i am not joking. Then i quickly use Carni to break a pallet and Jailer to get them off another gen, Assassina still on cooldown and im now an m1 killer. They need to have add ons to reduce cooldown back to 10 seconds, the two second ones they had wont cut it anymore.
Dbd players when they have to manage literally anything:
Am I the only one who thinks that Scott is on the hard stuff
hey scott guys here
its not a feature its a bug
Dracula will get nerf assaulted by BHVR the moment sales slow down, bet.
No Scott, you didn’t become a normal speed killer, the orbs used to give 10% to 120% on ptb, now, it gives 5% but the wolf always had a max speed of 120% this didn’t change
Source: Dev
In case this does gain traction btw, Scott, I’m a longtime viewer, and I have to say your handling of the me comp situation is ridiculous and horribly irresponsible, it’s the only view many get of the comp scene and it paints it horribly, the nos situation hit us just as bad, everyone was shocked, and then hens pulls, and then a new video comes out painting the community as pedos, it’s ridiculously demeaning and seeing every comment on your video be negative towards the community is just proof you could’ve used much more tact and shown people what the community actually is, and it’s actually just a community of dbd lovers that wanna test our might against other like minded individuals
It's cool that you're a dev, but no one takes the comp scene seriously. DBD is too random to ever be taken seriously like that. Unless you add preset maps, iron out the terrible ping issues, and the random crazy bugs of course. But as is most of us see your "competitions" as people turning Mario party Halloween edition into a sweat fest. I'm glad you're having fun, just don't expect us to think about you as anything but a club.
@@izzywn5802there are preset maps, they assign maps to every killer that everyone agrees on, and holy shit don’t be condescending and acting like it’s Mario party when it’s way more like super smash bros which has a flourishing comp scene, even tho there are random maps, items, and it can be considered a party game, people choose not to
And also btw there’s banned perks against certain killers so certain killers get more build freedoms if they’re weaker and survs are more restricted, and vise versa for strong killers, it’s a really fun time because even bad killers are given a shot this way, it’s why dredge comp is so fun, and why I love comp tbh, it makes it feel nice and fair so wins feel earned and not from randomness
@@dudeboymanguy07 No, by preset maps I mean with the same layout every time. Just cause everyone agrees on Gas Heaven doesn't mean everyone will get the same balanced gas heaven. And I'm not trying to be condensing. DBD is legitimately a casual party game, with far too many inconsistencies and no comp features. I mean, there isn't even a match replay feature, just a bunch of screen recordings lmao
Hey guys scotzdarva here 😎
Ooooh, should've talked for another 2 minutes to make the video 10 whole minutes
I only love the knight bc of his design. His gameplay is meh and I'm not sure how these changes will affect him. I only play him bc I love medieval theme of him.
The Knight changes are actually fantastic, this gives you a reason to use the carnifex in some scenarios while being able to cancel bad patrols with a Jailer or Assassin. Overall, this is a HUGE upgrade to the QOL of the Knight and the only thing I was really wanting (besides the 'distraction' mechanic oversimplifying AI chase).
yep
Can't wait to see Otz throw a fit about Exultation 😴
He was already whining about it when it was revealed for the PTB. So the fact that BHVR aren't nerfing it, I'm expecting another "BHVR never listen to the advice I give them waaa waaa waaa" video.
I’m pretty certain he had no major issues with Exultation
Elden Ring content?
The knight changes are generally great and will give some variety to what guards are deployed. Being forced to manually hit a guard if you try to make a path and it whiffs was utterly atrocious and locked you out of your power, and sometimes even when a guard is on a hunt you'd want to recall them and force them somewhere else at times
I still wish bhvr would just try let Knight have multiple guards out at once.
He was always meant to be a killer that could multitask. The entire concept of patrolling is pointless because if a guards doing it then you have no power.
Obviously only one guard could hunt a survivor at a time though.
Letting Knight wait out the cool-down on all guards and summoning all 3 sounds like the most 0 brain cell pressure application ever even if the guards are ez to dodge. Might aswell just make guard hunt times perm until they get a hit
@@XombieJokerNo give Knights guards horses
knight is already obnoxious enough, he really should not get a buff like that....
That sounds terrible. I'm glad you don't work at bhvr
knight changes are going to be so unfun to verse, one of the best counters to knight was holding a guard so he just cant spam them on everyone. now they just take away a counter to a killer that was already unfun to verse?!
He can still only occupy only one survivor at a time with a guard, so I don’t get the complaint. The whole point of separating cooldowns is so that Knight should manage his cooldowns and use right guard for the right situation
hi scotc
what brainrotted universe do you have to reside in where nemsis gets a *buff*
The best there is
That Knight change makes me think that BHVR is going to start listening to the community about things that aren't intended being fun, and maybe we might see more stuff like that implemented based on that instead of what *they* think is best. Good for them.
Broken key big buff
I hate playing against the kniight. I hope he does t ecer get a buff. I see him too much
Too late
Im always late to your videos i hate this.
Seems like updates nowadays are just killer upgrades and ad ons. Guess survivors are worthless. Keep giving them playtime survivors, so killers can get more and more. Gg.
As a survivor main, I'm very hype to get nothing like always.
Become a Killer main. People will continue to play survive with friends (mainly why people play survivor) at least that’s just my opinion. It’s fun not worrying about teamwork all the time. Give it a try bro.
Looks like I will need to get some PWYF stacks in order for wolf form to have proper speed. Come on BHVR stop being safe and up that shit to at least 4.8m/s.
didnt the notes say youll get 4.8m/s with scent pick ups?
Then everyone would use the wolf form for everything. You already have a fast form, it's called the bat
Get hit by a zombie on purpose now vs nemy for 1st infect
That’s a horrible idea, slowing down his tiers isn’t worth a health state
