by

In an exciting crossover event, the horror game Dead by Daylight now includes characters from Five Nights at Freddy’s, specifically Springtrap who has been added to the game’s collection of terrifying icons. The Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) chapter for Dead by Daylight also introduces Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria as a fresh map within the foggy environment, and Springtrap’s new killer abilities align perfectly with this eerie setting.

In the gaming community, Springtrap from Dead by Daylight is eagerly awaited as one of the most iconic killers in history. It’s reassuring to learn that Behaviour Interactive has meticulously crafted his gameplay elements to harmonize with the Dead by Daylight universe without compromising what makes Five Nights at Freddy’s so endearing. Springtrap stands out as one of the most impressive killers introduced in Dead by Daylight thus far, and survivors should be on high alert for his distinct abilities when confronting The Animatronic.

Dead by Daylight Springtrap Release Date

On June 17, 2025, the “Chapter of Five Nights at Freddy’s” for “Dead by Daylight” is scheduled to be launched across all platforms. This Chapter encompasses Springtrap, a map from Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, and various content related to “Five Nights at Freddy’s.

Even though the formal release is a few weeks off, the FNAF update is already active on the Dead by Daylight Public Test Build (PTB). PC gamers can download the PTB and experience Springtrap and Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria immediately, but console users must wait until June 17 for the chapter’s complete launch.

Springtrap Killer Power

In the game, Springtrap, also known as “The Animatronic,” possesses a unique ability called Fazbear’s Fright, which brings some Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) style to Dead by Daylight matches. For his main attack, Springtrap wields a fire axe that he can hurl at the survivors. If a survivor gets hit, the axe lodges itself in them, necessitating its removal before they can receive healing.

In the gameplay of Springtrap, there’s a unique aspect known as the Security System map feature. When controlling Springtrap, seven security doors pop up in various locations across the map at random. These doors can be utilized by both Springtrap and the survivors. Each door contains a camera, and survivors are able to interact with these doors to switch between the camera viewpoints of all seven doors during the game. Survivors also have the ability to instantly transport themselves to any door if they’re looking through the connected cameras. If Springtrap is seen on a camera, his presence will be exposed to all survivors for a short while.

In the game, Springtrap has the ability to navigate through security doors that are scattered across the map. If Springtrap approaches a door currently in use by a survivor, a startling animation will occur, causing the survivor to be captured. Unlike the survivors who need to conserve their battery-powered cameras, Springtrap can utilize these doors even when they’re out of energy. Essentially, the camera management aspect in Five Nights at Freddy’s transforms into an exciting game of hide-and-seek between the character and the players, with Springtrap acting as the relentless hunter.

Springtrap Perks

In the game “Dead by Daylight,” the Animatronic character boasts three exclusive advantages. Just like before, once you’ve leveled up Springtrap, these special abilities can be utilized by other killers as well.

  • Help Wanted: When the compromised generator is completed, your successful basic attack cooldowns are 25/25/25% faster for 40/50/60 seconds.
  • Phantom Fear: When a Survivor within your Terror Radius looks at you, they scream and you see their aura for 2/2/2 seconds. This perk has a 80/70/60 second cooldown.
  • Haywire: Exit gates switches with at least 50% progress regress at a rate of 40/45/50% of gate opening speed. While they are regressing, Survivors see the exit gate lights flicker randomly.

In the game of “Dead by Daylight,” Springtrap stands out as one of the most distinctive killers yet encountered. Fighting against this Animatronic character as a survivor offers a refreshing change from the familiar killers that players have grown accustomed to. The “FNAF” Chapter in “Dead by Daylight” is filled with unique elements, and if you aim to survive your visit to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, it’s essential to bring your best strategies and builds along.
