Freddy bug/exploit that has existed since 3.1.0 still works as of 4.7.2
and honestly im tired of reporting it again at this point but here goes once again since its a bug that people can abuse to gain an advantage
platform pc
bug: The power gauge starts full and takes too long to empty completely at the start of a match
backlash from the bug existing: there is a window at the start of every single match while playing as freddy where you can use your teleport right at the start of the match, either to teleport directly to whatever gen that was directly in los of your spawn with good timing or more easily mash the button and flair your camera to catch a gen even though most likely you will either get a gen that you don't want or cancel your power
how to reproduce, when loading into a match right as you gain camera control you have around 0.5 second window where your power bar starts full before draining completely so during that window simply spin your camera like a mad man and mash your teleport bind, and 9 times out of 10 you will start the match with only a 10 seconds (or less with addons) cooldown before you can teleport instead of the normal 60 seconds
This bug is a gateway to a simple but strong exploit
Potential fixes,
have his power gauge normally start empty to it doesn't need to be drained so it isn't usable
if it needs to start with some power in the gauge the have it start halfway before draining that way it isn't usable
if it needs to start at full power then have it drain a second or two before the player gains control so it drains before its usable
