Dead by Daylight: Five Nights at Freddy's Review (goldleck)
And i thought this killer was extremely bad and unplayable, but after a few more games and a little adjustment on my Springtrap build, i could win two matches in a row where i normally wouldn't. At first, i made a negative review on Springtrap judging on how useless his add-ons and perks were and how survivors could easily dodge his axe and escape, and i got at least 8 jester awards for that. (Appreciated for the free 1.600 steam points.)
Springtrap is pretty much a ranged killer, you can use your axe to throw it onto survivors and it embeds on them, forcing them to either get stuck with it or take it off. He can also be a "stealthy" killer once upon exiting a security door, but by "stealthy" i mean that his terror radius and aura is invisible but survivors can hear his MASSIVE footsteps in a 32 meter radius, making it clear that a stealth build for Springtrap would be complete useless UNLESS you're using the Glitchtrap skin, that makes his footsteps a lot more quieter than normal.
"Bonnie's Guitar" is a perk that allows the killer to check generators completion stats, it's very recommended to use this perk while you're still new as Springtrap, BUT DON'T GET TO DEPENDANT! After a while, you will start to know which generator survivors will do first, usually the farthest one, after you adapt to it, you can simply take it off and choose another useful add-on.
If you're a guy like me who gets looped around while survivors dodge your axe, fear no more, i had the same issue when i made my last review but with the help of "Freddy's Hat.", the add-on for the axe, it grants your axe to weight 100% more, but you may be thinking on how that is going to help you. First, survivors will try to dodge your axe by crouching on the dropped pallet, but what they don't know is that even while crouched, the gravity pulls the axe harder with the add-on, so you can aim directly at the survivor, making the axe hit the survivor instead of the pallet, which solved many issues for me.
If you hate getting stunned by a pallet, "Endo CPU", the add-on that grants the ability to make everything break 40% faster IN THE DROPPED AXE'S RADIUS, combined with Hillbilly's "Endurace" perk, which gives you the ability to recover from stuns 50% faster, you can easily get back up and start the chase again, which according to my calculations, makes you recover 90% faster from stuns and pallet breaks.
But for the love of god don't you dare use the "Loot box", you want to avoid survivors from opening the exit gate at all costs, unless you want to troll the last survivor that didn't exit when they had to, i did that a couple times. And if you're trying to hit survivors with the axe please don't use Foxy's hook, it will basically punish you for missing and give the survivor 7% haste to escape you even more.
Springtrap is a low or mid C-Tier killer. But with the right add-ons and perks as i mentioned before can make him turn into a high B-Tier or A-Tier killer.
