Does Pig ACTUALLY Need a Nerf? | Dead by Daylight
115Full Pig Change Notes from DBD Developer Almo:
Regarding the Pig's 5-Box update:
When we implemented this, we added another alteration to the key system, which was not announced. We didn't wish to call attention to it due to its complexity, but in light of the community response to the Five-Box update, we'd like to clarify that the Pig's update in this release is not a nerf.
At the start of a match, The Pig begins with three "searches" per trap, or 12 searches in a normal game. Each time she places a trap, a number of the remaining searches is chosen, from one to four. This is how many searches it will take the Survivor to remove the trap.
If all four traps are removed, it is guaranteed that all 12 searches will be used. As an example, we could have the following possible number of searches for the removal of the four traps in a game:
2, 2, 4, 4
4, 3, 4, 1
3, 3, 4, 2
etc.
In the event that addons adjust the number of traps, so is adjusted the number of searches. So with Amanda's Letter, she has two traps and six searches.
Before the update, it took an average of 2.5 searches to remove a trap, for an average of ten searches to remove all four traps in a match. We have increased the average from 2.5 to three, so that's a buff. Also, we have completely removed the worst case scenarios of four or 16 searches to remove the traps, so Pig's performance will be far less prone to RNG weirdness.
