- [Bug][Blowout] Some stairs block the navigation of downed and crouched scavengers
ANIMATION
Scavengers:
- [Bug][Collisions] Leg jitters when a scavenger pushes toward a low collision item

Hunter, 3rd person (from the scavenger’s perspective and when the hunter is using emotes):

- [In Progress][Polish] The grip of the hunter doesn’t fit the weapon
- [In Progress][Polish] Some simulation issues on some outfits
AUDIO
- [Bug][Environment] Environmental dart and bullet impacts (especially on metal tanks) are not playing their correct SFX
- [Bug][Environment] When a scavenger dies, the SFX will continue playing from the position where the death occurred. Scavengers are supposed to be teleported to the End Room and hear the in-game SFX less clearly.

USER INTERFACE
- [In Progress][HUD] There is no easy way to view a Character’s level progress. We are currently planning to put it on the Character’s Banner (top right of screen), but this might change
- [In Progress][HUD] Our intention is that at different objective completion tiers, the players get rewards. For scavengers: rewards at 30%, 60%, 90% completion. For hunter: rewards at 2, 3, 4 executions. This is subject to change.
- [In Progress][Menus] Perk order does not match between Loadout and Upgrade Vendor screens

PATCH 0.1.2: Fire in the Sky
Hello everyone!
It’s been two weeks since we launched Deathgarden: BLOODHARVEST, and the community’s response has been nothing short of amazing. We are very grateful for your support and hope you will keep enjoying the game, as we’re improving mechanics, fixing bugs and releasing exciting new content on a regular basis.
Today, we are releasing our second content update, introducing a cool new map and weekly leaderboards. The Patch will go live at 1PM EST today, 13/06.
NEW MAP: FIRE IN THE SKY
“They stopped and gazed silently at the long night, glowing red and green amid the falling snow. They had finally reached the enemy’s blast furnace, an invaluable target for the coming months.”
Today, we release our sixth procedural map, Fire in the Sky, a frozen landscape covered with snow, pine trees and treacherous trenches. In the center of the map lies a massive blast furnace surrounded by body piles and hiding areas, making it a high risk, high reward zone.
- Biome: Scandinavian forest
- Weather: northern lights and faint snow fall
- Garden elements: blast furnace, bridges, pine trees, rails, trenches, snow and ice patches, brick structures and chimneys.
NEW FEATURE: THE PROVING GROUNDS
The Proving Grounds will be displayed in your Locker Room whether you’re playing hunter or scavenger. The hunter leaderboard and the scavenger leaderboard will each feature your top score of the week for that role. Additionally, the top 5 scorers worldwide will be displayed for each Role.
Additionally, a Tier, accompanied by a Crest, will be associated with your high score of the week.
Classification:
Stats will be updated in real time and the Proving Grounds will reset every Tuesday at 1PM EST.
IMPROVEMENTS
HUNTER Hunter UI Widget to Increase Blood Delivery Noticeability, Improving new Hunter Onboarding:
Hunter HUD Clarification, to Raise Awareness about the Down Bonus Mechanic:
- This widget appears when close to a Downed scavenger and shows the total amount of XP that will be earned (base + bonus) if the Execution is carried out. It also shows the Hunter's current and next 'Downed Multiplier'to better judge how XP grows when delaying executions
Hunter Reward Balancing, to Incentivize Downing over Executing:
- Down: (200)XP →(400)XP
Design Goal: We want to incentivize 'Downing': It's the hardest thing for a Hunter to do, it should be properly rewarded
- Execution: 1X down Execution (500)XP → (50)XP, each additional 1x (150)XP → (250)XP
Design Goal: We want to incentivize getting a higher number of Downs before the Executions start to occur. We want to soften the brutality of getting Executed in the first few moments, while still supporting the Hunter fantasy of being an unstoppable badass. With these numbers, Hunters that Down more will get more XP than with the previous tunings. The glory of the Gardens awaits for Hunters with patience and good aim!
Hunter Comfort Increase, Reloading While Sprinting:
Design goal: Hacking crates is a powerful mechanic, but the cost in both time and ammo was not balanced with the reward. This change should put more value into Crate Hacking for hunters.
- There were certain structures that caused scavengers to be able to 'hide' from being Executed
SCAVENGERS Scavenger Gameplay Balancing: Bolt & Dust Trails Increase, Powers and Perks Fine Tuning
- Increased duration of Bolt trail VFX (0.9)s → (2)s
- Increased duration of Dust trail VFX (0.5)s → (0.75)s
- Clones will now occasionally Evade, and are able to climb small walls (but not large ones)
Design Goal: Although we have gotten feedback that Clones are fun to use, the survival rate for Characters using Clone are lower than other Powers (both in Chase Escapes, and Garden Escapes)
- Clones are now revealed when passing under a 'Drone cone'
- Revived Scavengers Health (3/3) -> (2/3)
Design Goal: Provide more value for Switch’s ‘Revivalist’ Unique Bonus. Consistency with revival from Healing Crates. Reduce healing disparity value (healing vs reviving). Place a small tax on total Health from Power Core Crates.
- Modified to allow slight visibility for the hunter when the affected scavenger is actively 'Evading' and when firing their Vambrace
Design Goal: While we love the escape/fun potential of 'Active Camo', the Chase Escape and Garden Escape survival rates for this Power are too high compared to the average
- Increased Ghost's 'Lucky Charm' Perk Challenge Requirements for levels (2), (6) and (10) by (33)%
- Scavenger Challenges: Removed 'Crouch', 'Hang', and 'Jump' from level 7, 8 and 9 Challenges
Please note that you must either Prestige your Character or start with a brand new one to guarantee that you won’t get these Challenges at levels (7, 8, 9). Those with the Challenges currently active will keep their progression and get to complete them as before. Further improvements to the Challenge roster will occur in upcoming patches.

New Map & Prestige System
Hey everyone! We already have an update for you. Today, we release our 5th map and our Prestige System.
New Procedural Map: Dust & Blood
“The sun shone bright on their faces when they woke, as they struggled to open eyelids that were encrusted with dust”
Today, we release our first new map, Dust & Blood, an arid landscape peppered with the crumbling ruins of an ancient civilization.
• Biome: Arizona Desert
• Weather Condition: Sandstorm
• Garden elements: Ancient temple, ruins, cacti, trees, and a large central trench
New Feature: Prestige System
We’re also releasing our Prestige System. Upon fully upgrading hunters and scavengers’ loadouts (perks, powers, weapons, etc.), you’ll have the opportunity to gain Prestige by resetting your Characters’ progression. Doing so requires that you consume a set amount of Blood cells, but gaining Prestige will grant you:
Prestige Full Set parts:
- Headgear
- Upper Body
- Lower Body
- Weapon skin
Character UI Flair
There are currently 4 Prestige levels per Character. Each level you achieve will award you with one of the items listed above. Complete the 4 levels to unlock your complete Prestige Full Set.
It’s important to note that while resetting your Characters’ progress, unlocking Prestige levels DOES NOT reset your account’s progress. In other words, you will not lose the Titles you’ll unlock over time.
Hotfixes
• [Fixed][Bug] Memory corruption on the client that rarely occurred, causing the game to crash.
• [Fixed][Bug] The character clone rarely caused the game to crash.
• [Fixed][Bug][TOTH Mask] Players that own both Dead by Daylight and Deathgarden weren’t seeing the TOTH mask in their Loadout.
• [Fixed][Steam][Complete the Bundle] The pricing we had announced in order to complete the Dead by Daylight + Deathgarden Bundle was accurate for the Bundle, but the Complete the Bundle pricing was wrong. We thank you for your understanding.
• [Fixed][Steam][Terminator] The sale we had announced wasn’t active for the first couple hours.
Thank you for reading. We’ll see you in the Deathgarden!
You'll be able to play the game for free this weekend and benefit from special offers and a new permanent price point.
At 1:30PM EST, we'll be hosting a kick-off livestream. Don't miss it!
