The twins post-release update

With this update, we tried to expand the counterplay window when trying to take down multiple survivors with Victor. Additionally, Ultra Rare addons were underperforming and their bonuses were increased.

Charlotte can now turn when waking up.
Victor's Leap successful cooldown is 5 seconds (was 3 seconds).
Victor can now move during the successful leap cooldown.
Silent Cloth grants Undetectable for 20 seconds (was 12).

The Demogorgon Gameplay Update

Demogorgon portals have been adjusted to be usable more frequently, travel distance faster, and provide slightly more stealth. Base movement speed while charging Shred has also been increased and the bonus from add-ons has been reduced. Some portal/traversal add-ons have also had their values reduced in light of base stat improvements. The end result must be as strong or stronger. We will continue to monitor the performance of these addons and adjust them in future patches as needed.

Upside down movement speed: 20m/s (was 17m/s).
Undetectable lasts 3 seconds after traversing backwards (was 2 seconds).
Movement speed during Shred charge increased from 3,68m/s to 3,86m/s.

Addons

Black Heart: Reduces cooldown after a successful Shred attack by 20%.
Rat Liver: +3,5% movement speed while charging Shred (was 9% but end result unchanged due to increased base movement speed)
Rat Tail: +25% action speed when opening a portal (was 50%).
Rotten Pumpkin: When you go through the city upside down, the portal you enter is destroyed, blood points gained.
Barb's Goggles: Slightly increases Shred's recovery speed when breaking a paddle.

Leprose Lichen: Surviving auras remain for 3 seconds after emerging from a portal.
Red Moss: While traversing the Upside Down, the Demogorgon emerges from the target portal silently but more slowly.

The Nightmare Gameplay Update

The Nightmare had been outperforming for some time, and its game-slowing addons were always causing more frustration than we'd like. These have been removed and replaced with new effects based on Survivor sounds in Dream World. We've also made adjustments to penalize spam traps being chased and reduced the total number of traps that can be active at once, but we expect the core gameplay experience to remain intact.

Power

Movement speed now adjusted to 4,0m/s when charging a Dream Snare.
Dream Snare charges reduced to 5 (was 8).
Dream Pallet fee reduced to 7 (was 10).
Using a clock to wake up prevents falling asleep for 30 seconds; this includes when Freddy is punched.
Added a new Killer Power visual behind survivor portraits to indicate the 30 second sleep immunity timer.

Addons

Black Box: When a door is opened, the entity blocks it for sleeping Survivors for 15 seconds.
Skipping Rope: While Survivors are in the dream world, the sounds of their pain grunts are 50% louder.
Outer Rope: While Survivors are in the dream world, the sounds of their generator repairing can be heard 8 meters away.
Swing Chains: While Survivors are in the dream world, their footsteps are 50% louder.

The Huntress addon update

The Huntress was one of the last older Slayers with incorrect addon rarities, and that has now been fixed! Several addons have been changed to give more interesting effects and its most controversial addon has been adjusted so that it no longer allows you to carry more than one hatchet.

Addons

Berus Toxin becomes Yellowed Cloth: +10% Hatchet Flight Speed.
Crude Stone: Targets hit's pain grunts are increased by 50% until fully healed.
Amanita Toxin: Target hit suffers Blindness status effect for 60 seconds (was 30 seconds).

Venomous Concoction: Inflicts Exhausted status for 5 seconds (was 90 seconds).
Iridescent Head: Prevents carrying more than one axe.

More Live Design

Aside from the major updates, the biggest live design change in this update is the change to Survivor's hook fight entrances. One of the motivating factors for this update is to reduce the number of inputs per second to make the game more accessible to people with RSI. After the release of this mechanic for The Executioner's Cages and its positive reception by the community, we felt confident to make this change more broadly for all sacrifice struggles.

The new Object of Obsession design previewed on the dev stream has been completed with some tweaks. We hope solo survivors enjoy Small Game's new totem count feature, and that Borrowed Time will no longer trigger based on Terror Radius...works.

New Hook Wrestling

Fighting during stage two on a hook is now a series of skill checks
If you give no contribution for two successive skill checks, the sacrifice will be instantly over.
Missing a skill check will reduce the time until the entity claims the Addicted Survivor.

Benefits

Small game: earn tokens for each Totem cleared by a survivor; tokens reduce cone width to increase accuracy; no longer triggers for the Totem you are currently clearing.
Lucky Break: now also hides scratches; duration reduced to 35/40/45 seconds.
Soul Guard: Now has a 30 second cooldown between activations.
Open Hand: Increases aura reading range by 8/12/16 yards; Survivors can only be affected by a single instance of Open-Handed.
Zanshin Tactics: Now always active and range increased to 24/28/32 yards.
Borrowed Time: You no longer need to be within the Terror Radius to trigger; Enduring status duration reduced to 8/10/12 seconds.
Object of Obsession: This perk has been redesigned.
Each time your aura is revealed to the slayer, the slayer's aura becomes visible to you and you gain a 2/4/6% bonus to healing, repair, and cleanup speed.
If you are the Obsession, your aura is revealed to the killer for 3 seconds every 30 seconds.
Increases your chances of being the Obsession.

Other

Repairing using a Toolbox now increases the chance of getting skill checks by 5x (up from 2x).
When the hatch is opened by a key, it remains open for 10 seconds (instead of 30 seconds).
Each Trial will now start with an Obsession, regardless of player loadouts.
