Why Springtrap Should Be a Killer in Dead by Daylight

I think the best way to make Spingtrap a killer is to make him a sanity killer like doctor while also a stealth killer like myers and ghostface. You have to stalk survivors to build up PARANOIA on them. Causing them to see things. For example: > Other survivors become invisible at a distance > Spingtrap becomes invisible while outside of his terror radios > fake chests > When a survivor fails a skill check at max paranoia they get jumpscared and Spingtrap can teleport to them. > making survivors oblivious > fake lockers Just spit balling some ideas, but I stand by that Spingtrap should be a sanity AND stealth killer.

The map that could come can instead be Fazbear's Fright with a more maze like layout instead of the map layout in FNAF 3 And for the 2 npcs, something that would fit more would instead be spawning a randomized pair of phantoms that jumpscare a survivor revealing them to the killer, then the phantom respawns a few seconds later

All that would do is encourage tunneling. If you want to maximize his power you need a survivor dead asap. A better idea is to have the robots already moving and being able to hook survivors inside the moving ai. And if survivors want to unhook they have to find an empty suit head to wear to fool the ai.

[@coffinthrower1285]

Honestly, if the survivor were to be Michael, I'd be down for him to be his sprite from the Fnaf 4 minigame (the one wearing the Foxy mask from what I remember), it keeps him mysterious while also being familiar enough (mysterious by means of us not seeing his face) and it also keeps him in theme of being a kid getting hunted down by his child murderer father. Springtrap's skins could probably just be Glitchtrap and some original DBD skins (since, ngl, his designs in the other games kinda sucked) Skill wise, one of them should be him being able to put Phantom animatronics anywhere he wants and if a survivor were to look at it, they get jumpscared alerting Springtrap of their whereabouts Another one would be Springtrap being able to remove progress from the generators by attacking them (since in his game he's able to sabotage the night guard's controls)

[@dredgenwar2375]

Damn, I've actually never thought of the idea of him wearing the Foxy mask. That's really interesting. And yeah, most of his alternate looks from the mainline games have sucked. I don’t need to be reminded of Gooftrap.

[@elicrow1308]

More far fetched, but if they brought his son I want to see BHVR reinvent the character in terms of default design. He can have the ‘83 look as a skin option, but something completely new to us would be neat to see.

[@vergilcold1167]

Dude a 3d pixelated character would be so cool looking

[@Victor-um9ce]

He could have the Foxy mask as an adult and then a 2nd skin where he has a bear mask and full on suit like the bear in the Fnaf 6 cutscenes which was representing the player aka Michael.

[@Spiderlilymalls]

I feel like the dismantling generator feature can be expanded and instead be he can take 1 generator out of commission for the whole game so it'd create a situation where survivors have to pay attention to what gens are doing because they could end up 2 gen'd which would be awful. (It'd be very powerful if you say saved it for end game so you can guarantee a 2 gen situation so there should be a minute or two time period where he can use the feature so it's forced to be used at the start of the match or not at all)

[@juckthebuck]

Springtrap could have so many fun functions in dbd. When he downs you it could play a jumpscare that blurs your screen for a second. His recovery animation could be the springlocks going off ( you know due to moisture in blood) Could have a passive where golden Freddy sits at random locations on the map (as he follows springtrap everywhere or sum shit) and would attack both survivors and springtrap. Survivors would be jumpscared if they stare at golden Freddy for too long, revealing thier location and blocking thier screens for 10s. springtrap would be stunned if he walks too close to golden Freddy leading to some interesting plays. Heaps of other cool shit you could do too

[@Chubbs2206]

Knowing how William stuffed children in animatronics, I would love to see a mechanic similar to The Pig’s. Springtrap starts the game with 4 animatronic suits(Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy). When he puts a survivor in the dying state press the ability button to stuff the survivor into an animatronic suit with springlocks and is chained to the ground. When the survivor is freed from the chains, the springlocks start and are on a 5 minute timer and every minute a moderately difficult skill check appears on the stuffed survivor’s screen, succeeding that skill check extends your time by 30 seconds. To free yourself from the suit, you need to find a repair station, many are scattered around the map, it takes around 20 seconds to complete the “repair” task. If its completed the suit opens and the survivor is freed but is affected by the “hemorrhage” status. If the survivor fails to free themselves from the suit before the timer runs out, the springlocks activate and the survivor is killed. Springtrap can also stalk his enemies inflicting survivors with the “paranoid” status. Paranoid survivors will scream at random intervals revealing their last known location. When paranoid survivors are stuffed skill checks become harder and failing one unleashes a phantom animatronic that jumpscares you if it comes in contact with that survivor. Jumpscared survivors are blind but they run at 120% movement speed out of fear. Around the map survivors can also find audio boxes that play balloon boy voicelines, when one is activated the killer’s location is revealed and audio cues from fast vaults and locked entries are nullified for 5 seconds. A voicebox can only be used once and there are 5 scattered around the map. Edit: I want to give credit to @Nico#1325 for coming up with the “paranoia” status and @SpinoTheCat for the phantom animatronics idea

As a FNAF fan ever since its release, here's my suggestion for the killer's power: (assuming they would use Springtrap from FNAF 3) First we need to see how he works in the games, he's both a stealth and speed killer. He actually hides in darker spots of the cameras on FNAF 3 to avoid being sent back, and if let be, he can reach your office in literal seconds (during later nights, he's rather slow in the 2nd night) So what i would suggest is that Springtrap should in fact be a stealth killer, we only have 2 killers like that in the game, would be nice to have a third one, everyone actually gets jumpscared by a sudden ghostface/myers gen grab. Now, if you want the "brute force" route, which would be Springtrap's FNAF AR version, he would be an unstoppable beast, he should be very fast. Then, the final idea, not really my favorite but one of the most popular, give him the ability to stuff people inside Springlock suits. If a survivor dies inside you get an AI animatronic to help you, sorta like Nemesis with the zombies

[@Nico-zt5jl]

I think it would make a lot of sense to make him not just a stealth killer but also a sanity killer. Like a mix of doctor and the stalking killers. Rather than exposing survivors as he builds up his stalking on them like the other stealth killers, he instead builds paranoia on them, causing them to see things. For example: > making other survivors invisible from a distance > Spingtrap is slightly invisible from a distance to fully invisible at a distance depending on the level of paranoia > whenever survivors at max paranoia messes up a skill check they get a Spingtrap jumpscares visual and he can teleport to them. > random skill checks on survivors who aren't being chased or working on something, failing it just temporarily hinders or exhausts them.

Killer tries to hide from them by going inside of an old springlock suit (basically a costume made for both robots and humans to use) and Springlocks goes off thanks to room being wet, which results with Killer dying a painful death. After 30 years some dudes decides to reawake the legend of Fazbears which they go to the old location and find him there, then they bring him to Fazbear Frights. That's all you need to know for now.

I have an idea for a power he could have. -Mechanical strength:spring traps has a solid build with heavy machinery driving him efficiently making him a walking tank, when activated mechanical strength allows him to tap into this strength making him temporarily unstoppable. Any pallets thrown on him would instantly break without impeding his movement and perks like DS would not work. his hits would also slow the survivors as there bones broke under the force of his hits. The downside would be he is stunned for 5 seconds after coming out of it and it would have a decently long cool down. Anyways that’s my idea, if you have anyway to improve it please let me know

It’s come to the point where the devs KNOW it would do good for their game so I’d expect him to be a anniversary killer

[@solidsnake8008]

With Springtrap you could go so many different directions with him, you could make him a stealth stalker or a freak of nature but I think a stealth stalker with a kink or trait like doctor would be amazing. Instead of driving people insane Springtrap could make people paranoid, and same with doctor people with more paranoia will get different traits Tier 1: Survivors with stage 1 paranoia will have a smaller window for their skill checks to land and Springtraps movement speed will be increased by 3% when chasing them. Tier 2: Survivors with stage 2 paranoia will start to see hallucinations of the phantom animatronics and staring at them for too long will give the survivor a jumpscare revealing their location to Springtrap. Tier 3: If a survivor with stage 3 paranoia fails a generator or gets jumpscared, Springtrap will be able to teleport 20m's away from the survivors location. Springtrap will also be able to stuff the survivors into springlock suits if they are down, (since there's 4 survivors in a trial maybe the original FNAF 1 gang?) and if the survivor moves to much the springlocks will activate killing the survivor, but other survivors will be able to free the survivor out of the suit and stuffing the survivor in the suit will act like a hook. When the survivor is dead-hook with stage 2 or 3 paranoia Springtrap will get a mini-mori (Similar to Pyramid Head's Final Judgement) where Springtrap stuffs the survivor in the suit and their blood makes the springlocks go off. Now I think the map shouldn't be pizzaplex but rather a slightly bigger version of Fazbear's Frights with a parking lot outside the building. Maybe the survivor could be Micheal Afton with different skins like a pre-springlock William Afton or the crying child.

Honestly would love spring trap as a killer, but their are some things I would change about the concept pitched in the video (even if it’s just a pitch) I love the idea of making him stealth with little minions like nemesis and the jump scare idea, but I’d ditch the mega pizza plex and the security breach animatronics, I would switch the map for Fazbears Fright with the parking lot and an outside (like HaddonField but more balanced) and make the minions the Phantom animatronics from fnaf 3! I do like the idea of the cosmetics for the minions though, I would make it a pack personally like make a fixed spring bonnie with a knife with the original animatronics, or scrap trap with scrap baby and lefty as the minions? Idk but that’s my take on it

[@leadman7600]

I feel the main reason Fnaf is claimed to be for children is because A) Fnaf world which Scott himself has said is not Canon to the franchise and has disowned after removing it from the steam store and then making it free and then B) the look of security breach recently how it looks quite kid friendly or C) just because most of the fan base was from markiplier and jacksepticeye where during that time most of their fans being younger

[@Drp_br_]

Definitely one of the most influencial horror games in recent years and whole we do have a few VG-Themed Horror icons in the game already with Pyramid Head and Nemesis, it definitely would be amazing to see an Indie get in on that action too (or at the very least a unique idea like what Springtrap is).

There is two versions of springtrap, and that could be his ability. There is Animatronic Springtrap, and Glitchtrap, a coded version of Springtrap from Help wanted, they could use them both to create an unique ability.

[@winterinmyheart]

I was in my late 20's when fnaf came out and I'm 35 now - I've been in both fandoms since both games came out. I know I would be super stoked to have Springtrap in dbd. I think because so many kids were and are in fnaf, people see fnaf as being very kid friendly and meant for children, but the actual lore really isn't? There just happens to be children in the fanbase, like with every series.

[@GojiraFan25]

The pieces are coming together. 1. Generators are in security breach that you have to turn on. This literally gives BHVR a model for generators in a FNAF map. 2. Security Breach is on Epic, and DBD is too now. With a common distributor this puts the two games in close proximity. 3. Dataminers and content creators suggested for DBD’s 6th anniversary the 6 will be shaped as Springtrap’s head, with the body being his head and the top being his ears. Very exciting time for FNAF fans

[@urdeadnotbigsuprise7439]

They can just turn Springtrap's head to left and you get a 6 pretty easily.

[@Taygon45]

I wanna add one thing. Like The Pig's little game machine to get the helmet off or the clock to get out of Freddy's dream, there could be a wind up box somewhere on the map that summons the Puppet and she temporarily stops or clears up the animatronics. Making them either deactivate for a period of time or turn on Afton like the spirits want. It would take time like it does in the second game and make noise but its progress slowly goes down if the survivor leaves it and a different survivor can pick up where the other left off.

[@thyprodigymasterofthievery4295]

Hear me out. His secondary power(kinda) is scattered springlock suits around the map. When he downs a survivor he can stuff them in the suit. If the other survivors don’t get them out in time, the spring locks will snap shut.

[@yazidefirenze]

[@dom7753]

As long as he doesn't look like a cartoon character it's a go for me.

[@Glitchrat_YT]

I could imagine that he could have a similar power like pyramid head, instead of hooking he could put the survivors inside a springlock suit like springbonnie, the survivors would need to succed a bit difficult skillchecks so they dont breath or move to much inside the springlock suit, or else they die, there would be an option to save the survivors. It would be the exact same thing as unhooking but longer with a different animation for the springlock triggering one after the other to free the survivor out of the suit, if they dont rescue them in time, they get springlocked… the map would be fazbear frights as a building and an outside area, like for an example the parking lots and a small forest around, like we all know from other dbd maps with one or more buildings around the map, most likely in the middle

[@matttale7918]

I’d imagine if Springtrap was added he would probably build up agony by hitting and downing survivors, and once his agony builds up he could have some sort of ability similar to spirits where he could travel around the map while leaving a husk behind, with the difference being that he is at least somewhat visible as a shadowy spectre. while in this form he could jump scare a survivor or possess an animatronic somewhere on the map, which can charge at survivors and stuff downed survs into itself, acting as an alternative to hooks similar to cages. Jump-scaring survivors would give them oblivious for 60 seconds and reveal their location. The agony meter will go down quicker when not inside an animatronic, forcing the killer to make the decision between either jumpscaring a survivor, possession, or returning back to the main body. The Shadow would be faster than Springtraps base speed to compensate.

i strongly disagree with all the security breach stuff, if they add springtrap they should base it on fnaf 3 instead of the SB animatronics they should use the phantom animatronics and have them be similar to doctors madness but if you look at them for too long you get jumpscared then springtrap either gets an audio cue from the jumpscare or maybe it would even let him know where they are more precisely like when they walk on pyramid heads ground stuff and the map should be fnaf 3 NOT the pizzaplex, the pizzaplex is just too bright and happy looking for a dbd map, unless they made it run down and abandoned or something.

[@DarthZ01]

Springtrap could have an ability where several empty suits spawn around the map and instead of hooking someone he can stuff them into the suit. While in the suit any action they take including moving (though moving will be less effective than m1 actions) will slowly fill up a meter and if the meter is filled all the way they die similar to a pig trap. The only way to escape is through doing a series of difficult skill checks yourself, with failures filling your meter partially. Or have allies help you out and do the skill checks like healing, if your ally fails it does not fill your meter but it does cause you to scream due to something in the suit tripping. So the safest way out is to have an ally, but you can attempt to escape on your own at very high risk. Much like being hooked. If someone is escapes the suit spring-trap can reset it and use it again, but if someone dies in a suit then it is permanently deactivated as you can't untangle their mangled corpse. To help with the suits being randomly placed, while not being directly observed they will wander around the map and have a preference for standing near unrepaired generators and exit gates. Their footsteps will also sound like springtrap's footsteps to Spook survivors that hear them walking nearby. He can also have a secondary ability for jump scaring. Basically he pretends to be one of his empty suits, he gains undetectable and takes on a limp pose like the suits. He can then press a button to leap out of his stance with a very loud noise and if he collides with a Survivor during this leap they get instantly grabbed and picked up. The fact that the suits wander around helps with this ability since you can never really know if that suit is the killer or one that just happened to wander nearby. As a morbid little Easter egg, suits containing dead survivors will still wander and have little animations like glitching out or watching other survivors as they walk by.

[@slickbroly]

People asked for Springtrap a very long time for DbD so I think it's time for BHVR to listen to us, also fun fact, Springtrap DOES have helpers in the FNaF 3 franchise, the Phantom animatronics: the Phantom animatronics can lead the Night guard into a no oxygen state when they jumpscare the player, the player can't see where Springtrap is, the lights starts going on and off, but the solution you'll have to resolve is that you need to activate the ventilation system so you can recover your oxygen, that is, the exhaustion

Honestly, I think he'd be a cool addition. I'm not a FNAF player, but I can appreciate the impact the game had on the indie horror community. I'm pretty much fine with any license you want to talk about, but the chapters that I personally want to see are Bendy and the Ink Machine and Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World. Re:Zero isn't an anime on BHVR's radar, but it is a horror genre anime with tons of terrifying moments and gruesome deaths. There is plenty of potential in it, with Subaru and Emelia as the Survivors and Petelgeuse, Elsa or Satella as the Killer. My personal pick is Petelgeuse.

If Fazbear's Fright gets added to the game, and I think it should, I think this should be the first map with an interactable gimmick. If you go to the Security Room, you can toggle cameras and see where on the map things are. If a survivor interacts furthur with the camera in a specific area, a loud noise notification is played for the killer in that area. If the killer interacts with the security monitor, terror radius music is played over the intercoms of every area, masking their approach. Either ability is on a cooldown after being used.
