Dead by Daylight: Five Nights at Freddy’s brings Springtrap – once known as William Afton -- into The Fog as The Animatronic. A brutally efficient new Killer featuring unique gameplay mechanics and 3 fear-inducing Perks, Springtrap specializes in map wide surveillance, unrelenting pursuit, and delivering the jump-scares you love to hate.
HOW DID SPRINGTRAP ENTER THE FOG?
The Entity's grand design requires Killers, trapped in a perpetual cycle of endless violence, eliciting no shortage of horror, terror, and panic from Survivors. It’s no wonder that Afton found himself in The Entity’s sights. In many ways, he represents the perfect Killer; brilliant, cruel, and void of mercy.
The night The Fog came calling, Springtrap was alone in an abandoned Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, when his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of laughter – a sound that never failed to fuel his bloodlust. As he moved to investigate, puzzled by the faint sounds of a lively birthday party, he soon found himself overtaken by a black cloud...
HE’S ALWAYS WATCHING
Despite being gruesomely trapped in an animatronic suit, Springtrap remains driven by the darkest aspects of his humanity. While he previously operated under the shroud of secrecy, his arrival into The Fog has given him the freedom to pursue new victims – axe in hand – to his heart’s content. There’s nothing quite like a look of sheer terror in one’s dying moment.
ENTER THE SECURITY ROOM
One doesn’t have to be a Freddy Fazbear’s employee working the dreaded night shift to experience the horrors of the security room.
Scattered throughout the Map are Security Doors, which can be accessed by Killer and Survivor alike. While playing as Springtrap, entering a Security Door will allow you to instantly exit any other Door – even those occupied by Survivors. Should you catch one unawares, you’ll be rewarded with an instant grab attack and the comforting knowledge that a serious jump scare has been delivered.
On the Survivor side, entering a Security Room will allow you to cycle through any Security Camera across the Map, granting unprecedented mobility – albeit not without significant risk. Remember that Springtrap can arrive at any moment, so don’t dilly-dally...especially if you’ve consumed any liquid beforehand.
Springtrap’s Perks
In addition to Springtrap’s Power, which brings an entirely unique experience to Dead by Daylight, his Perks offer an additional layer of versatility to your gameplay.
Help Wanted allows you to Compromise a Generator, temporarily shortening your Basic Attack Cooldowns the moment that Generator is fully repaired. Thanks to your heightened mobility, you’ll be able to Compromise a nearly completed Generator, step into a Security Room, and begin your next chase with a trick up your sleeve.
Phantom Fear is a testament to the power of Springtrap’s grotesque, fear-inducing appearance. When a nearby Survivor sees you, they’ll be so overcome with terror that they’ll let out a scream, briefly revealing their Aura in the process.
Haywire significantly elevates the Endgame stakes, forcing Survivors to make tough decisions in a crucial moment. The moment the Exit Gates are fully powered, their progress will steadily decline whenever a Survivor is forced to leave. They think they’re so clever bringing those Gates to ninety-nine percent – think again.
Five nights? Try forever. Step into an endless cycle of pain and torment as Springtrap, and enjoy a Power that’s certain to thrill Five Nights At Freddy’s fans and newcomers alike. Dead by Daylight: Five Nights At Freddy’s is now available, and there’s a security guard job posting with your name on it.
FAQ
What is Springtrap’s Mori?
Springtrap’s Mori features a gruesome scene in which he grabs a Survivor, lets fly a taunting scream directly in their face, and proceeds to violently shove them into a metal exoskeleton.
What challenges do players face while using Springtrap?
While Springtrap has several deadly tools at his disposal, coordinated Survivors can effectively use the Security Room system to their advantage, gaining access to unprecedented mobility. They’ll also be able to use Security Cameras to track Springtrap, getting additional information about his whereabouts.
Given the risk of entering a Security Room, Survivors might wait until a teammate is in a chase. If that chase does not end quickly, they’ll have plenty of breathing room to look around the Map and plan their next move. It’s important to weigh the benefits of committing to a chase, especially if you suspect a Survivor is in a Security Room. Remember: catching them unawares nets you an instant grab attack.
