Dead by Daylight: Steady Pulse is an add-on released in 2025 that integrates into the core asymmetrical multiplayer experience where four Survivors attempt to evade one Killer. This content specifically introduces the new Survivor, Orela Rose, to the roster, alongside an exclusive cosmetic item, the Black and White Blazer, for that character.
The fundamental experience remains rooted in asymmetrical multiplayer action. Matches consist of one player assuming the role of a relentless Killer, tasked with preventing the others from escaping. Conversely, up to four other players operate as Survivors, whose objective is to repair generators to power an exit gate and flee the trial area.
This add-on specifically unlocks Orela Rose as a new playable Survivor character. While the core mechanics of stealth, teamwork, repairing, and evading the Killer remain the same, this addition provides a new character model and associated unique narrative background for players to utilize within the existing gameplay framework.
Acquisition of the Steady Pulse package also grants an exclusive cosmetic item tied directly to the new character: the Black and White Blazer, which can be equipped on Orela Rose.
The content integrates seamlessly into the existing game structure, supporting the primary modes of play: public matches, private matches, and custom game setups.
As this package focuses solely on introducing a new Survivor character and an associated cosmetic, it does not inherently alter the balance or the established most effective tactics available (meta) for Killers or existing Survivors, though players may integrate the new character into their preferred team compositions.
