Devs Please..Freddy should be number 1 Priority!

MechWarrior3

Title…

Freddy keeps getting pushed back. This getting out of hand. He’s been long needing changes now. We are way overdue.

He should be getting reworked asap sharp. On behalf of my friend General V - I’ll speak up on his behalf - because at this point is just disappointing to see your favorite killer being shoved to the back over and over. A licensed killer at that.

Nobody should have to wait 5 years (Now 6) for their favorite killer to get the necessary changes.

Bhvr you’re talented! Let’s whip up something special for Freddy. At the very least give him some buffs until he gets his rework….

they could easily like buff some numbers such as

-Dream world now gives -10% action speed penalty for repair and healing.

-increased freddy snare m/s when holding snares to 4.6 from 4.0.

-decreased generator teleport time from 5 → 3 seconds.

Hello, Freddy mains!
This is my attempt to buff Freddy to make him more fun, powerful and interesting. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, so feel free to comment.

• Freddy is invisible to everyone who's awake, and his terror radius is replaced by his lullaby for the awake survivors.
• When coming close to a Survivor, he can pull them into the Dream World. They can intermittedly see him during this process.

When in the Dream World:
• Survivors suffer from a 20% action speed penalty.
• Can see and be attacked by Freddy.
• Can hear Freddy's terror radius.
• Can see and be affected by Dream Traps.
• Can see the Dream Projection happening.

Freddy's abilities:
• Dream Projection - Now works with finished gens as well.
• Dream Hooks - 6 random hooks change into Dream Hooks at the start of the trial. Unlike normal hooks, only Freddy and asleep survivors can see and interact with them and the survivors hooked on them.
• Dream Snares
• Dream Props - This includes Dream Pallets, Totems, Chests and Breakable doors. These act all in a similar way, they can be put in spots where they could spawn naturally, and interacting with them makes them dissolve into blood and alert Freddy, with the exception of Breakable doors, which Freddy can walk through, making them dissolve, while survivors can't walk through them.
• He can create up to 20 Snares/Props

Ways to wake up:
• Getting woken up by an awake survivor.
• Waking up with a Medicine Cabinet.
• Getting hooked on a normal hook.

Medicine Cabinets:
• Replacement for Alarm Clocks
• Survivors can interact with them while awake or asleep, with the interaction changing depending on their state.
• When awake, interacting with these will put survivors to sleep. When asleep, interacting with these will wake you up and make you unable to fall asleep for 20 seconds.

Add-on changes:

Red Paint Brush:
• All survivors start the trial asleep.
• Changes the shape of Dream Snares into rectangular puddles that are 2 m wide and 8 m long
• Reduces the amount of maximum tokens to 10

Black Box:
• Asleep survivors are unable to escape through the Exit gates.
• Increases the amount of Medicine Cabinets by 2

Pill Bottle:
• Replaces Fake Chests with fake Medicine Cabinets.
• When spawning a Fake Totem, it will look like a lit Hex Totem.

Class Photo:
• Suppresses the appearance of the Husk
• During the Dream Projection, all generators spew blood. (removed downside)

"Z" Block:
• Survivors interacting with a Medicine Cabinets become Deafened until hit by Freddy.

Swing Chains:
• When hooking a survivor on a Dream Hook, the duration of their hook stage timer is shortened by 15%.
• Removes 3 Dream Hooks.

Unicorn Block:
• Survivors become Oblivious for 45 seconds  when triggering a Dream Trap. (The timer doesn't reset when triggering a trap while already affected by this add-on)

Nancy's Masterpiece:
• Reduces the cooldown of Dream Projection by 4% for each asleep survivor, up to a maximum of 16%

Jump Rope:
• Increases the amount of Dream Hooks by 2.

Blue Dress:
• Increases the range of Dream Transition by 30%.
• Decreases the length of Dream Transition by 2 seconds.

Paint Thinner:
While asleep, survivors suffer from the following effects:
• A 35% chance to trigger a difficult skill check while repairing or healing.
• Skill check success zones are reduced by 20%.

Cat Block:
• Survivors become Exhausted for 30 seconds when interacting with a Medicine Cabinet

Nancy's Sketch:
• Reduces the cooldown of Dream Projection by 3% for each asleep survivor, up to a maximum of 12%

Outdoor Rope:
• Increases the audible range of repair noises by 8 meters. (Removed condition)

Green Dress:
• Increases the range of Dream Transition by 20%.
• Decreases the length of Dream Transition by 1 second.

Prototype Claws:
• The Nightmare is completely invisible to survivors during Dream Transition.

Sheep Block:
• Survivors become Blind for 60 seconds when triggering a Dream Trap (Same condition as the Unicorn Block)

Wool Shirt:
• Increases the range of Dream Transition by 10%.
• Decreases the length of Dream Transition by 0,5 seconds.

Garden Rake:
• When triggering a Dream Prop, survivors scream and reveal their location for 3 seconds.

Kid's Drawing:
• Reduces the amount of power tokens by 10
• Gives a 100% bloodpoint bonus in the Sacrifice category.

These are the changes I'd make.

Please, BHVR.

Agreed. If they can destroy Skull Merchant like that, then they can squeeze a few small changes for Freddy into a mid chapter.

• Let survivors start in the dream world.
• Give Freddy 7 snares (that would allow him to preset some of them).
• Allow Freddy to teleport to finished gens.

That would already help tremendously. He would remain weak but feel at least slightly better. Plus, these changes aren't super complicated, so they can be squeezed into a mid chapter.

He does need a rework anyway but until then, can't he feel at least slightly better?

Freddy, oh Freddy, what do you see?

Chasing shadows in dreams, another futile spree.

You reach for Claudette, but she's always ahead,

while sneaky Jane hides with Head On in a closet.

Freddy, oh Freddy, what has gone wrong?

In this endless nightmare, you don't truly belong.

No lunge, now power - what's left in your grip?

Your strength has been gutted, a ghost on a slip.

Freddy, oh Freddy, you are a true tragedy.

The devs' wrath you suffered, turned into a parody.

Your snares and your pallets are but an illusion.

Once the king of dreams, you're now an intrusion.

Freddy, oh Freddy what can be done?

Once feared in nightmares, now outclassed by everyone.

Try as you might your reign's in decline,

the weakest killer - your fate is entwined.

Freddy, oh Freddy, where does it end?

After all these years, can your wounds ever mend?

Left to rot in the mud, shattered to pieces,

waiting for the day when your suffering ceases.

This poem was inspired by a losing streak on dear old Freddy. I spent quite a bit of effort on this, so cookies would be appreciated. 😋

I'm curious to hear the opinions of our resident Freddy mains, @GeneralV and @CountOfTheFog.

Freddy is the only killer in this game that can get me to try my hand at poetry. That has to mean something.

Honestly, Freddy needs an entire licensing redo. just whole thing back to the drawing board.

Even just a rework seems too small. It almost feels like he needs a reintroduction chapter.

I wonder what would happen if they would switch the license holder and make him a new chapter. That would be an interesting situation.

Yeah huh? It would be super interesting if the license holder was different.

What if we got a new level within the Badham preschool level, like a new main structure or something?
