The newest Dead by daylight Patch looks pretty normal at first glance – there’s a buff for K-Pop Killer the Trickster and a variety of bug fixes. However, if you look a little closer, you’ll see a suspicious notice that says, “Fixed a problem that resulted in the hangman’s butt being too flat.”
The executioner is Pyramid Head, the legendary Silent Hill villain. When he joined the fight in June 2020, fans celebrated his huge ass. Dead by daylight is all about being chased by a bunch of nefarious killers, and some people like it when these killers have big butts. When developer Behavior tweaked the killer’s bloodstained smock, fans made a big fuss about how he looked. Did the developers dare to touch that perfect butt? Behavior vehemently denied the charges, stating, “I can confirm that our art team continued to polish Pyramid Head, but his bum remained untouched. The apron that covered his body was modified, which could give the impression that his body was also changed. “
So was that a lie? Was Pyramid Head’s ass secretly pissed off? Polygon turned to Behavior, which clarified the patch note. A developer representative told Polygon this statement:
Pyramid Head’s bum was never pissed off. However, we recently found a bug in one of his outfits, The Corrupted. The fabric that covered his bum had cutting issues which made it nice and flat. We fixed it and it will be pushed live in our next update this Tuesday. I hope you and our community agree on the degree of roundness, I know that you have been watching the situation closely.
Hopefully Behavior is watching, but the Known Issues section of the Patch Notes gives hope. One of these issues is that two of the game’s cards are currently disabled. the other is that “the hangman’s butt may still be too flat.” Honestly, you probably can’t go wrong simply increasing it by another 20%, but it’s good to see a developer in touch with their game’s community.
