Change Log

Patch 1.0.5

Nerf: reduced the FOV gains from 10/20/30 ° to 3/5/10 °

Patch 1.5.0

Change: updated Shadowborn to the new lighting engine.
- Buff: Flashlights are now only +30 % faster at blinding you instead of +50 %.
- Buff: reduced the Recovery Time penalty when blinded by a Flashlight (the exact values are unknown with the exception of Tier III).
- Nerf: removed the effect that would increase the brightness of the Trial Grounds.

Patch 1.8.3

Buff: removed the faster blind times and penalty to recovering from blinds.
Buff: increased the FOV gains from 3/5/10 ° to 9/12/15 °.

Patch 2.6.0

QoL: changed the FOV modifiers from adjectives to numerical values.

Patch 3.2.0

QoL: fixed a typo in the Tier I description, adjusting the value from +8 ° to its coded value of +9 °

Patch 7.5.0

Rework: Shadowborn now grants Haste after being blinded by any means.
- This change was motivated by the Developers implementing an FOV Slider for Killers, which has the same effect as Shadowborn, requiring a new effect for the Perk.

Trivia

When Shadowborn still had an FOV effect, an increased FOV would cause the Killer to be able to become blinded from a wider angle by Flashlights.
- The default Killer FOV is set at 87 ° and Shadowborn would increase that up to a maximum of 103 ° on Tier III, which is equivalent to the maximum setting of the new FOV Slider introduced in Patch 7.5.0.
Shadowborn had its original brightness modifier removed due to the Developers wanting more control over the lighting conditions on the Maps.
