Springtrap, the chilling killer inspired by the FNAF franchise, is making its way into Dead by Daylight, and if you’re on PC, you can take part in this intense horror experience. With Behaviour Interactive rolling out this highly anticipated addition, players are eager to learn how to wield the terrifying new killer effectively.
It’s crucial to understand Springtrap’s mechanics to make the most of this terrifying character. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about equipping Springtrap, and explore its unique perks and abilities that will either haunt your opponents or leave them trembling in fright.
Springtrap’s Perks in Dead by Daylight
This animatronic killer boasts potent perks that can turn the tide of any match in your favor.
| Perk Name | Ability |
|---|---|
| Help Wanted | After a generator is repaired, this perk compromises it and reduces your Basic Attack Cooldowns by 25% for 40/50/60 seconds. |
| Phantom Fear | Upon spotting you, a nearby survivor will scream in terror, revealing their aura for 2 seconds, with a cooldown of 80/70/60 seconds. |
| Haywire | This endgame ability induces panic, causing the progress of Exit Gates to decline if a survivor is forced to leave them. |
Just like any formidable killer, Springtrap is equipped with a wide range of moves that can eliminate survivors before they escape. However, employing teamwork and strategy can help you evade its grasp, especially when navigating the Security Room, which serves as Springtrap’s ultimate hunting ground.
Springtrap’s Powers in Dead by Daylight
This animatronic is a fearsome opponent for survivalists, and rightly so.
Special Ability: Fire Axe
- You can throw the Fire Axe at survivors, embedding it within them. The survivor must remove the axe before they can heal.
Special Map Feature: Security System
- At the start of each match, seven Security Doors spawn randomly. Both survivors and Springtrap can access these doors. Survivors may utilize Camera Views to travel and reveal Springtrap’s aura. Unlike survivors, Springtrap can freely navigate between the doors without draining battery power and will automatically grab a survivor upon reaching the same door.
You can further enhance Springtrap’s abilities using Add-Ons and Offerings. This new terror officially debuts in June.
