  • Colourblind Mode
  • Mode
  • Intensity

• Flashlight cooldowns
  • To reduce strobing and the associated dangers regarding flash-induced seizures, Flashlights now have a slight delay imposed between switching them on and off.
  • The Flashlight click speed is now slower. The sound effect has been adjusted so it matches the new speed.

ARCHIVES

• New Challenge Slots in the Archives: Players now can select a Survivor and a Killer challenge at the same time. This will hopefully improve the experience for players who switch roles often, or want to take full advantage of the Matchmaking Incentives Bloodpoint Bonus.
