Art the Clown and Sienna Shaw from Terrifier join Dead by Daylight's PTB servers

Dead by Daylight's latest Public Test Build update on Steam also puts the new Mall map in rotation.

The next major update for Dead by Daylight, which includes characters from the Terrifier series and a new map, has launched into the Public Test Build (PTB) servers on Steam.

Developer Behaviour Interactive launched the newest PTB build update alongside a teaser trailer for the content. The headliners here are Art the Clown on the Killers side and popular series “final girl” Sienna Shaw on the Survivors Side. Moreover, the Mall map has been a long-awaited addition to the game, bringing a new original spin on a classically beloved setting in horror media to the Dead by Daylight universe.

Being in the PTB means that players can finally start exploring what these characters offer, but only in early testing on Steam. Players on other platforms will have to wait for the official release. Here’s the breakdown of new Perks each character has:

Art

• Power - Bag of Toys: Art reaches into his trash bag for a random selection of weapons including a flail, a flamethrower, a firearm, a beer bottle full of acid, and even a funky little bike horn! Each successful hit with a toy builds its deadliness, eventually letting Art knock down injured Survivors and execute them with murderous glee. Each weapon will have its own unique Mini-Mori, showing that Art’s gruesome creativity knows no bounds.
• Funny Business: Grants Art a random effect in addition to a temporary haste buff whenever you damage a Generator. These effects can be as helpful as blocking Generators or as wacky as a burst of confetti.
• Kill Spree: Ends each Trial with a merry massacre, letting Art unlock the ability to kill remaining Survivors when they have all reached 2 Hook States and all Generators have been completed.
• Laughingstock: Makes Survivors near completed Generators Exhausted and Oblivious.

Sienna

• Best Gift Ever: Lets you drop items to gain powerful passive abilities.
• Shared Trauma: Whenever you take a protection hit, allows all Survivors within 12m to recover from the Exhausted status while running.
• Valkyrie's Rage: After being chased by the Killer, this Perk lets you turn the tables by unleashing an extra-powerful pallet stun.

That covers each of these characters and their abilities. As we await an official release date on the Terrifier Chapter, stay tuned to the Dead by Daylight topic for more news and updates.
