Key DLC Features
New Game Mode: A twist on the classic Traitor vs Survivors game mode, now there are the Demon and Whisperer roles for the traitor, yes THE traitor. One traitor per game and this game mode focuses on converting survivors to your team. The game is over once all survivors either escape, die or are converted.
New Traitor Roles: Play as either the Demon or the Whisperer.
- The Demon: Has the ability to forcefully convert survivors to the traitors team once they are in a downed state.
- The Whisperer: slowly converts survivors by infiltrating their midst.
New Map: A brand new map for Supernatural expansion games. Explore a new, smaller, nighttime map with new special locations, interactable objects, and events.
New Survivor Roles: Unlock new Survivor Roles exclusive to the DLC.
- Medium: You are able to see but not hear the ghost of any dead players around you. This is a passive ability and any ghosts that are within your range of vision will be automatically visible to you.
- Hunter: You are immune to conversion and have a single use ability to reveal a role. Gain charge by gathering resources, looting crates or helping with objectives. Use your charged ability on a player, this will secretly reveal their role to you.
- Padre: You have a single use ability to boost one other player. The chosen player will have a significant stat increase but beware! Using the ability on a traitor will give the traitor an even larger boost. Gain charge by looting crates and helping with objectives.
- Yeti: As the Yeti, you are immune to conversion and are neither a Survivor nor a Traitor. You can side with either faction or be on your own. Complete your yeti task and escape with the Survivors or stay behind and help the Traitors get rid of the Survivors.
New Items: New Items can be used in the DLC!
- Torch: Melee weapon that gives out a small circle of light and regenerates some warmth.
- Rosary: Prevents conversion from traitors. Against the Whisperer, it absorbs conversion points, breaking at full capacity. Against the Demon, it repels one conversion attempt and revives from the knockdown, breaks after one use.
- Holy Book: Melee weapon that is more effective towards animals during the Witching Hour event.
- Gatling Stake Gun: Ranged weapon that is more effective towards animals during the Witching Hour event.
- Flash Bang: Lights up the area and blinds the other players for a period of time.
