Friday the 13th Adds Its First All-New Map, Another Jason, And More in A Killer Update-October 2024
Oct 20, 2024 9:22 PM

  Grab your good luck charms, because tomorrow is Friday the 13th, and, appropriately, Friday the 13th: The Game just dropped its biggest update yet to celebrate. In addition to the usual array of tweaks and fixes, this update includes a new map, Jason skin, and counselor.

  The map, which is based on the Jarvis House first seen in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, is the biggest deal, as it’s the first new location to be added since launch. Previously, we got “small” versions of the game’s three original maps, Camp Crystal Lake, Higgins Haven, and Packanack Lodge, but those were just remixes of existing material. Here’s a few screenshots of the new map.

  Fans also get a new version of Jason based on The Final Chapter, and far-out hippie counselor Mitch Floyd. You can check out the new Jason wreaking bloody havoc in and around Jarvis House in the trailer below.

  Here are the full patch notes for Friday the 13th: The Game update 1.14:

  New Features

  Rain

  The Rain feature is now available and players may have a chance to encounter this new weather in any of the current playable maps.Counselors pushing

  Counselors are now able to “push” other counselorsTo prevent players from griefing via “bodyblocking”, we have introduced a new feature that allows Counselors to push each other. The player being pushed will slowly walk away in the direction opposite of the player pushing. This feature does not affect Jason.Changes

  Thick Skinned perk changes:

  Thick Skinned now reduces ALL damage ——[Known Issue] Perks that had their values adjusted will have no in-game effect until re-equippedThe tooltip for Thick Skinned has been changed from “Take less damage from all incoming attacks.” to “Take less damage.““Originally, Thick Skinned was intended to reduce damage specifically from Jason’s’ attacks. However, there was a bug that was causing Thick Skinned to apply twice which in turn also caused the perk to incorrectly reduce all incoming damage. This issue was fixed in the last patch. After considering our internal testing and community feedback, we agreed that the previous iteration of Thick Skinned worked better for game balance when the inflated damage reduction values were no longer present.”Stun Duration adjusted:

  Jason’s Stun Duration timer has been adjusted“Jason’s Stun Duration has been adjusted across all counselors and items to better balance the changes made by the previous bug fix.”Grease Monkey perk rebalanced:

  Reduced the effectiveness of the Grease Monkey perk ——[Known Issue] Perks that had their values adjusted will have no in-game effect until re-equipped“Grease Monkey was individually causing too large of an impact. We have adjusted Grease Monkey to be more consistent with other perks.”Trap Damage adjusted:

  All counselors now take the same amount of damage from traps“Traps have been adjusted to inflict the same amount of damage across all counselors. Players that activate a trap will now always be wounded unless equipped with an adequate trap damage reduction perk.”Bug Fixes
