The Bite By Night QoL Update dropped on April 7, 2026, and it completely changes how you’ll play this asymmetrical horror experience. I have been tracking this Roblox FNAF game since its explosive launch on March 28, and this first major patch addresses almost every pain point the community voiced.
Quality of Life (QoL) updates might sound boring on paper, but this one adds free daily rewards, four stunning Ennard skins, game-changing character balance adjustments, and the first-ever code redemption system. Whether you are a free-to-play grinder or a VIP Gamepass holder, there is something here that directly impacts your gameplay.
In this guide, I am breaking down every single change from the April 7 patch notes. You will learn exactly how to earn up to 3,000 free Scrap through daily rewards, which survivor class is now S-Tier after the Fighter buff, and why the developers nearly tripled the Fighter’s price overnight.
The most significant addition for free-to-play players is the new Daily Rewards system. Logging in each day now grants you Scrap just for showing up, which completely changes the progression curve for new players.
You can earn up to 3,000 Scrap through consecutive daily logins. This means dedicated F2P players can now unlock premium survivors and killers without grinding matches for hours. The system resets if you miss a day, so consistency matters more than marathon sessions.
VIP Gamepass holders received an unexpected buff alongside this feature. The scrap multiplier increased from 1.2x to 1.5x, making premium membership significantly more valuable for serious players. This creates a nice balance where both free and paying players feel rewarded.
The developers specifically implemented this after community feedback about progression feeling too slow. Our team noticed Reddit threads praising this change as a sign the developers are actively listening to player concerns.
Ennard mains have four fresh cosmetic options to choose from, each with distinct visual flair and tiered pricing. These skins transform how the animatronic looks in both killer menu and gameplay.
The Mime Ennard costs 550 Scrap and features classic black and white clown aesthetics with striped patterns. At 750 Scrap, the Spaghetti Ennard brings a grotesque food-themed horror look that perfectly fits the FNAF universe. The Molten Ennard skin runs 900 Scrap with fiery orange and melting metal visual effects. Finally, the premium Anomaly Ennard commands 1,200 Scrap for its glitch-themed corrupted appearance.
Each skin maintains the same hitbox and gameplay mechanics, so your choice is purely cosmetic. I personally think the Anomaly skin looks incredible when combined with the new emotes, though the Spaghetti skin has become a community favorite for its absurd horror charm.
These price points create a nice progression system where newer players can grab the Mime skin quickly while veterans have something expensive to work toward. The visual variety helps killers stand out in matches, which is nice when facing the same survivors repeatedly.
Both sides of the asymmetrical equation received new emotes to express themselves during matches. Survivors can now purchase additional taunts and celebration animations, while killers get menacing new idle and attack emotes.
The emote prices range from affordable options for new players to premium animations that cost more Scrap. I noticed the killer emotes specifically add extra personality to chase sequences, making matches feel more cinematic.
Emotes are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay mechanics, but they add personality to the horror experience. The community has already started creating meme content with specific emote combinations, which helps keep the game fresh between major content updates.
The Fighter class transformation is the headline here. This survivor went from underwhelming to what the community now calls “S-Tier” overnight. If you were sleeping on Fighter, it is time to wake up.
The Fighter buff includes significant stamina improvements and combat effectiveness adjustments. The parry window feels more forgiving, and the overall survivability against killers increased substantially. In our testing, Fighter now outperforms Security Guard in most scenarios.
Medic received controversial nerfs that have divided the community. Self-healing dropped from 50 HP to 40 HP, while healing other survivors decreased from 35 HP to 30 HP. These numbers sound small, but they add up across a full match. The Medic exploit that allowed infinite healing chains was also patched.
Security Guard saw minor adjustments to their taser mechanics and stamina costs. The class remains viable but no longer dominates the meta like it did at launch. Consumer received a healing buff from 20% to 30%, making Bloxy Cola more effective for self-sustain.
Here is how the survivor tier list looks after the update:
Killer mains have plenty to celebrate in this patch too. The hitbox improvements alone make chasing survivors feel more consistent and fair.
Ennard’s disguise ability received subtle timing adjustments that make the mimicry more convincing. The hitbox changes specifically address the “Rude” server-sided hitbox system that caused frustrating misses at close range. Client delay issues were reduced, making attacks connect when they visually should.
Springtrap got direct buffs to his drill attack effectiveness and scream attack range. These changes push him higher in the killer tier list, though Mimic remains the community favorite for competitive play. Mimic also received buffs to maintain its top-tier status.
The DSD (Daily Special Discount) system was fixed after being broken since launch. This means daily rotation items now properly display and can be purchased. Visual improvements across all killer models make them easier to spot in dark maps while maintaining the horror atmosphere.
The Fighter price increase from 600 Scrap to 1,350 Scrap shocked many players. This 125% price jump reflects the class’s new power level after the buffs, but it makes Fighter significantly harder for new players to unlock.
Other survivors saw smaller adjustments. The developers explained these changes balance the economy around the new Daily Rewards system. With free Scrap now available, character prices needed to increase to maintain progression pacing.
Here is the complete price breakdown:
The community reaction to these changes has been mixed. Veteran players understand the economic necessity, but newcomers feel the barrier to entry rising just as they start playing.
The Last Man Standing (LMS) mode received its most requested change. Two exits now open instead of one, giving the final survivor a fighting chance against camping killers. This completely changes LMS strategy for both sides.
Door barricades work more reliably after the update. The stuck spots that plagued maps since launch have been patched, including the infamous Forest map collision issues. Generator repair sounds and visual cues got polish passes that make gameplay smoother.
The biggest hidden gem is the code redemption system. Bite By Night now supports promotional codes for the first time, giving the developers a new way to reward the community. Expect code drops on social media and during special events.
UI improvements include cleaner menu navigation and better visual feedback during matches. The developers also patched several mobile and console specific issues that were causing loading problems for some players.
The Bite By Night QoL Update is the first major quality-of-life patch released on April 7, 2026, adding daily rewards, four new Ennard skins, emotes, character balance changes, price adjustments, and bug fixes to the Roblox asymmetrical horror game.

Fighter is now considered S-Tier after receiving major buffs to stamina and combat effectiveness. Security Guard and Consumer remain strong A-Tier options, while Medic dropped to B-Tier following healing nerfs.
The Fighter price increased from 600 to 1,350 Scrap because the class received significant buffs making it the strongest survivor option. The price adjustment balances the economy around the new Daily Rewards system that provides free Scrap.
Bite By Night now has a code redemption system. Look for the codes button in the main menu or settings area, enter active promotional codes, and claim free rewards like Scrap or exclusive cosmetics.
The Bite By Night QoL Update proves the developers are committed to long-term support for this Roblox FNAF experience. Released just ten days after launch, this patch addresses community concerns about progression, balance, and technical issues faster than most early access games.
The Daily Rewards system fundamentally changes the free-to-play experience, while the Fighter buff creates an exciting new meta to explore. Sure, the price increases sting for new players, but the economic adjustments make sense alongside free login rewards.
