Behaviour Interactive has released Dead by Daylight update 10.2.2 (Console version 3.83), introducing a significant overhaul to the Dark Arrogance perk and preparing the game for the upcoming Lights Out: Stranger Things Edition event. The update launched on October 20, 2026, across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
Dark Arrogance Perk Overhaul
The primary balance change in version 10.2.2 focuses on the Dark Arrogance perk. The update adds a 10% basic-attack cooldown reduction that applies to missed, obstructed, and successful attacks. This cooldown buff is paired with the perk’s existing vaulting speed increase, which is tiered based on the perk level:
- Tier 1: 15% vault speed increase.
- Tier 2: 20% vault speed increase.
- Tier 3: 25% vault speed increase.
Factually, these changes make Dark Arrogance a more versatile choice for chase-oriented gameplay, as the attack recovery helps mitigate the penalty of missed swings while maintaining increased mobility through windows.
Upcoming Event: Lights Out (Stranger Things Edition)
The patch includes data for the next iteration of the Lights Out modifier. The Lights Out: Stranger Things Edition event is scheduled to run from November 5 to November 12, 2026. This limited-time mode typically removes the HUD and Terror Radius, and this upcoming version will feature specific Stranger Things branding for its seven-day duration.
Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements
Update 10.2.2 addresses several audio and collision issues that affected gameplay consistency across various maps and Killers.
Audio and Killer Fixes
- The Dark Lord: Fixed an issue where the Killer’s lullaby remained audible while in Bat form during Lights Out Trials.
- Hit Sound Effects: Restored missing flesh-hit sounds for The Nemesis, The Cenobite, The Onryo, and The Dark Lord.
Map and Collision Adjustments
- Nostromo Wreckage: Fixed a collision issue near the meeting table that previously blocked projectiles. This fix ensures that ranged Killers can now land shots through areas that previously had invisible barriers.
