Diminishing Returns in Dead by Daylight

During a Trial, repeated positive or negative gameplay modifiers and status effects are affected by diminishing returns. Identical Killer and Survivor modifiers granted by Powers, Items, Perks, and Offerings are reduced progressively as they become stacked. The gameplay modifier with the highest absolute value is always applied, while lesser ones are progressively lowered to a percentage of their original value.

How the System Works

• 1st
  First Modifier (Highest): 100% of the modifier is applied.
• 2nd
  Second Modifier: Reduced to 50% of its original value.
• 3rd
  Third Modifier: Reduced to 25% of its original value.
• 4th
  Fourth Modifier: Reduced to 12.5% of its original value.
• 5th+
  Fifth Modifier & Up: Reduced to 5% of its original value.

Role-Restricted & Excluded Effects

• Role
  Role Limits: Negative action speed modifiers and positive skill check chance modifiers apply diminishing returns only within their respective role.
• Excl
  Add-ons Excluded: Modifiers granted from Add-ons are excluded entirely from diminishing returns.
