My take on the Springtrap in dbd. (Don't let up Fnaf Fans :D)
I'm loving how many posts I've seen and how many people have signed the petition for Springtrap to make it in the game. Almost hitting that 50k signatures!
I'd say it's not impossible at this point and very well might happen in the future if people keep asking for it.
As for those against it, the reasons are always terrible. You have your personal opinions ofc, but seriously?
The game is for kids? Try again.
Terrible fit? He's a dead body in the suit of an animatronic. Wait wait, kids game.
It's just a game of Jumpscares. Oh yeah its a big part of the game, but there's plenty of atmospheric sounds and stu- wait why does this matter for dbd? Think its just gonna turn into a point and click trial with jumpscares?
A majority of people on the discussions and votes are against it. I'm actually surprised to see this is untrue, while it has been pretty close on a few I think for has ruled over against a majority of the time. Also, check those signatures ;)
I'm sorry but unless the reason against it's more legit that what I talked about above, I don't plan on responding.
I would like to see more iconic horror make it in first, such as Chucky, Candyman, Pennywise, etc but I've been dumbfounded with the negative responses toward Fnaf in DBD.
But also still excited to see I'm not the only one who would like to eventually see this.
If you'd like to sign this and haven't already please do!

Okay listen I'm tired okay, I don't want hear any negativity right now, I am stressed AF, I am not been in a great mood today. SO can you please leave me be. I just ahd a rpugh day, I just want Springtrap into the game period, end of discussion goodbye( Again I'm sorry I'm just tired, Its been very stressful today, I hate it when people think fnaf is childish in where I think its not, It holds a persoanl place in my heart and seeing hate hurts a lot
We need more people like you on the forums lmfao.
another one ok .
You have some compression issues. The FNaF community is toxic, childish and immature, but does that mean all of them are? No. THAT is what I was saying.
These posts really show the need for better reading compression skills.
You do realize pretty much every licensed character we have has powers different from what they generally do in their licensed content, right? You mention both Myers and Freddy. Myers didn't stalk people to build up his killing power. Hell, the majority of his victims were actually rather random with no real thought put into their killings. Freddy doesn't have any power that lets him pull people into a dream world and he's not known for using blood pool snares or illusionary pallets.
While you're right that a killer's power should fit their character, I don't think anybody was suggesting anything otherwise. The problem is people who say Springtrap is only about jumpscares so he can't do anything else. That's a ridiculous statement for two reasons. First, that's what most slasher films highly utilize so it's a double standard to attack FNaF but not the rest of the licenses we have that use jumpscares. Second, anybody capable of actually thinking things through realizes that Springtrap doesn't actually kill or attack people with jumpscares; that's just how FNaF executes a game over. Springtrap's primary means of attack is by using the strength of the suit Afton has become one with which is significantly stronger than a human. I don't know if Springtrap itself has a signature kill style anymore, but Afton preferred killing by trapping his victims into animatronic suits and then puncturing the victim with all the suit's mechanical parts.
holy christ, let this topic die!
I'm am all for springtrap, but bringing it up every 2 seconds adds more people to the opposed category! it's annoying seeing these posts all the time. if we shut up about it, we'll have a better chance. so take that to heart and silence thyself
There have been countless threads suggesting powers for Springlock. While they're somewhat buried now, it really shouldn't be hard to find some to read. But if you don't want to do that, here's some power ideas.
As for his weapon, it's quite obvious that the animatronic suit is the most logical choice.
I'll try.
The Springtrap
Move Speed: 115%
TR: 24m
Height: Tall
Weapon: Hands (Hes a giant robot, blunt force would hurt a lot I'd imagine)
Power: Springlock suit
He starts the trial with 4 Springlock suits. He can put one on a downed survivor, it functions as an alternate hook. Survivors will bleed out unless saved by someone else. They will bleed out slower than they would on hook. Upon being saved survivors will still have the suit on. Their aura will be hidden from other survivors and they will make more noise until the suit is removed, downing a survivor whilst they're wearing a suit will essentially hook them again. It can be removed by going to a new interactable "Terminal", they will play a small skillcheck minigame and throw it off. The ability as a whole somewhat functions like a mix between Pig and PH.
Ability: Perception Altering Disc
Springtrap can place 3 discs in any location he chooses. It will emit a 32 meter range in which all noise will be cut off from survivors, including terror radius. In this range Springtrap is undetectable and all survivors will look like Springtrap. Survivors can disable these discs by sabotaging them. After which Springtrap won't be able to place another for a moderate time.
Addons can be based on how many suits he can hold at a time, what effects survivors are under while in a suit, how long his disc cooldown is, how many discs he can hold at a time, ect.
People: Fnaf is a kid game.
Fnaf: a story of murdering kids, getting ur insides ripped out to have another possessed being crawl inside of you, being possessed, being impaled by metal pieces while showing the man bleeding out slowly and painfully. Death. Carnage. Kids game?
I'm not in to fnaf but I know at least these parts. And as a parent I disagree that this is a kids game. Even if the cutscenes are pixelated it can still be traumatizing. Just seeing the blood or the little kids head getting crushed can still harm a child. That doesn't mean kids don't play it. Markiplier is not meant for kids but most of his subscribers are 8-10 yrs old. Sooooo....
I see this argument all the time, all that lore you're talking about is locked behind an 8-bit minigame that isn't graphic at all.
This Topic has been beat around enough JUST LET IT DIE.
It's target audience is kids. They signed with Scholastic, a kids book only publisher, to publish the fnaf books instead of a publisher that doesnt focus on kids books and that's why fnaf is found in the kids section/elementary school book fairs.
Harry Potter is a kids story about Voldemort trying for years to kill Harry, a kid, and multiple kids get maimed or killed in the series. There's Scary Stories which has multiple stories filled with gore and death. There's Watership Down which is just rabbits being killed in gruesome ways (YouTube carnage count). Oddly enough those three examples parents groups have complained about being targeted towards kids BUT they're all still found in kids section/elementary school book fairs. Parents groups haven't complained about fnaf being targeted toward kids, which seems to point to them being OK with kids being the target audience for fnaf.
Anything where the target audience is kids, not just fnaf, should not be added to an adult targeted game like DBD. Even with kids playing the game now DBD can use the defense "it's an adult game with DLC from adult licenses, kids should not be playing it." They lose that defense the moment they add any kid targeted license and parents groups will demand DBD be more kid friendly.
I just love it when the simple minded dbd community do a single google search and see a topic that says "fnaf is a cash grab and the community is awful" then use that as a simple excuse for him not to be in the game, and to prove how ignorant the dbd community can be some of the two common arguments against him are: "we have never seen him move" *fnaf 3 vr wants to know you location* "there is no survivor to base off of* in recent teases we see a female guard who seems to be the protagonist of a new fnaf game, TL;DR: don't make arguments that hold no weight and do your research.
