      • Nerf: Survivors carrying a Cursed Tape are, however, protected from gaining Condemned by other means.
    • Nerf: no longer requires inserting it into a specific one in order to lose Condemned, any TV will do.

Patch 7.5.0

    • Buff: no longer protects Survivors from gaining Condemned.
    • Buff: must now be inserted into a specific TV that is located farthest away from the Survivor's current location and can no longer be inserted into a random TV.

      • Nerf: no longer inflicts Condemned, however, when a Survivor is hit while carrying it.


Trivia

  • Prior to Patch 7.0.0, the VHS Tape was the only Limited Item that did not take up the Survivor's Item slot, and was stored in a separate one instead, alongside any existing Items, which allowed Survivors to still carry their primary Item, if available.
    • This also made it that the VHS Tape remained unaffected by any Perks that interact with or affect a Survivor's Item, such as Franklin's DemiseIconPerks franklinsDemise.pngIconPerks franklinsDemise.pngIconPerks franklinsDemise.png or HoarderIconPerks hoarder.pngIconPerks hoarder.pngIconPerks hoarder.png.
