The Eternal Blight

The Eternal Blight is an Event in Dead by Daylight that occurred between 21 October and 4 November 2020.

It kicked off the in-game celebrations in honour of Halloween 2020.

Overview

The Eternal Blight is a type of Halloween-themed in-game Event, which temporarily added new Objectives to the Gameplay of Killers and Survivors.

It was part of the reoccurring Blight Event; its predecessors were the 2018 The Hallowed Blight Event and the 2019 The Withering Blight Event.

In-Game Changes

Re-enabled the Pustula Petals Offering.
Added a new Add-on for Flashlights: Broken Bulb.
Added a new Add-on for Med-Kits: Refined Serum.
Added a new Add-on for all Killers: Blight Serum.
Added additional Halloween-themed props to the Lobby Map of CHAPTER 17: Descend Beyond.

The Event Items and Add-ons could be found in newly generated Bloodwebs and the former also in Chests located throughout the Trial Grounds.
