In Dead by Daylight (DbD), it is not uncommon for
the reputation of the once strongest perk to suddenly drop due to
updates or changes in the environment.
Especially in the red band
- Severity of activation conditions
- Low return
- Compatibility with environmental killers
are seen severely.
In this article, we will explain
“Survivor Park, whose ratings have dropped significantly” in the environment as of January 2026, in a list format from the perspective of red belts and wild mackerel.
Common features of parks whose ratings drop due to weakened environment
First of all, the parks with lower ratings have something in common.
- Returns are small considering the harsh conditions
- Not stable in the wild
- Do not get stung by environmental killers
- Excellent alternative park
Red-belt mackerel chooses a park based on **“Can it consistently maintain its rating”** rather than “Is it strong?”
Parks with lower ratings①
Self-care
Why did the rating drop (January 2026 environment)
Although it is a recovery park that built an era,
Currently, its reputation in the red band has declined considerably.
- Recovery speed is too slow
- Significantly slow down the tempo of power generation and rescue
- Has a negative effect on environmental killers such as regions
This is because the disadvantage of “not being able to progress in the game” is more noticeable than “being able to recover”
Evaluation of red band perspective
A park that tends to make you feel like you are not working when you use it in the wild
Park with decreased ratings ②
Death blow
Why did the rating drop?
Although it was a representative measure against tunnels,
Currently, the adoption rate is decreasing due to the following reasons.
- Limited activation conditions
- Easy to go down again immediately after activation
- Off the Record stole the role
At red belt,
continuous survival assistance is more important than a one-time stun.
Evaluation of red band perspective
It’s strong when it’s decided, but there are too many matches that aren’t decided
Park with decreased ratings ③
Walking at full speed
Why did the rating drop?
Although the activation is easy to understand,
- Difficult to manage fatigue
- Weak against unexpected chases
- Not enough distance against environmental killers
have become noticeable.
Currently,
Dead Hard
is considered more stable at red belt.
Evaluation of red band perspective
I feel like it hasn’t broken out from being for beginners
Park with decreased ratings ④
Urban escape techniques
Why did the rating drop?
It is a representative of the secret type park, but
- Less direct contribution to the match
- Difficult to connect to power generation/rescue/chase evaluation
- Enemy search performance of environmental killer is too high
As a result,
**In the red belt, it is treated as a “perk that cannot improve its evaluation”**.
Evaluation of red band perspective
Even if you survive, you often don’t have enough points
Parks with lower ratings⑤
Vampire
Why did the rating drop?
It is powerful as a park that assumes VC/cooperation, but
- They are often not kept alive in the wild
- Other information parks are more versatile
- Not stable enough to use a frame
For this reason,
the priority is lowered in red belt strays.
Evaluation of red band perspective
Strong but “not suitable for wild animals”
Some perks have been “relatively removed” due to environmental weakening
Even if it is not actually nerfed,
- Enhancement of other parks
- Changes in environmental killers
There are also many
perks that are relatively unused.
Red belt mackerel is always,
The structure is rearranged based on the“Can we maintain our reputation with this one frame now?”
standard.
Summary | “Unstable perk” will be removed in the January 2026 environment
Characteristics of parks with lower ratings as of January 2026 are:
- Wild and low reproducibility
- The conditions are too severe
- Not directly linked to evaluation
For red belts,
The most important thing is whether you can work stably rather than whether you are strong or not.
Rather than continuing to use parks that have been left behind in the environment,
switching to a configuration that meets the current evaluation standards is a shortcut to maintaining and improving your red belt.
