9.0.0 | Five Nights at Freddy's
Content
New Killer - The Animatronic
KILLER POWER: FAZBEAR'S FRIGHT
- The Animatronic lived to kill, even when his mechanical costume became his tomb.
SPECIAL ABILITY: FIRE AXE
- The Animatronic is armed with a Fire Axe that he can throw at Survivors. If the Axe hits a Survivor, the weapon becomes embedded in them, leaving the Survivor vulnerable. Survivors must remove the Axe before they can be healed.
MAP FEATURE: SECURITY SYSTEM
- At the start of the trial, 7 Security Doors are spawned randomly throughout the map. These doors can be accessed by both Survivors and The Animatronic.
- Each Security Door has a Camera attached to it. Interacting with the Door gives the Survivor access to the Camera View, allowing the Survivor to cycle through every Camera in the map, travel to the Door they are currently looking through, and potentially reveal The Animatronic's aura to the team.
- Using the Cameras and Doors too often will deplete the limited battery power available, forcing Survivors to wait until the system reboots. The Animatronic may travel between Security Doors with or without battery power.
- If The Animatronic enters a Security Door, they may choose to exit from any other Door in the map. Moving to a Door already in use by a Survivor will cause The Animatronic to grab that Survivor.
New Killer Perks
Help Wanted:
- When you damage a Generator, it becomes Compromised. Only one Generator can be Compromised at a time.
- 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 80% progress regress at a rate of 80/90/100% of gate opening speed.
- While they are regressing, Survivors see the exit gate lights flicker randomly.
New Map - Freddy Fazbear's Pizza
- The rotting brainchild of a sadistic murderer still stands over the grassy plains. A place of joy for some, and unspeakable terror for others. Do not let the bright colors and parlor tricks deceive you; many have died within these walls, and many more will die still.
Quality of Life Improvements
AFK Crow System Update
- Survivors are considered AFK when not interacting within the last 10 seconds.
- While AFK, Survivors accrue AFK points, during which crows gradually begin spawning above the Survivor, beginning with 1 and capping at 3.
- AFK points increase more slowly while moving or while in proximity to the Killer.
- After 90 seconds, the Survivor reaches 3 crows and Loud Noises trigger at regular intervals.
- Additionally, the Survivor loses collision with other players for 10 seconds.
- Completing interactions removes AFK points.
- Crows are removed as AFK points decrease.
- This system is disabled when the Hatch spawns or when End Game Collapse is triggered by any means.
Bloodweb Spending Improvements
- Added an Auto Bloodweb button available after prestiging any one character for the first time, enabling players to automatically progress to a selected character level, Bloodpoints permitting.
- Removed the following pop-ups across all other characters after they have been shown for the first time:
- “The Bloodweb” introductory pop-up
- “Unpredictability” pop-up
- Perk slot unlocks
Disconnection Penalties
- Disconnection Penalties are now based on your last 20 matches played.
- Each disconnect in this set of 20 matches counts as a disconnection penalty point.
- Disconnection penalty points decrease as you play matches without disconnecting (previously decayed at the rate of 1 point per day).
Gamma Setting
- Upon launch, new gamma calibration popup will be presented to all players.
- This visual setting can be accessed at all times via the Settings menu, under the Graphics tab.
"Going Next" Prevention
- Added a system to detect Survivors who intentionally die early in the match.
- When a Survivor is determined to be doing this, they receive a disconnection penalty and lose one full grade.
- The Attempt Unhook ability is now only available in the following circumstances:
- Two Survivors remain in the Trial.
- A Survivor's Luck is increased with an Offering.
- A Survivor has equipped the Slippery Meat or Up the Ante perk.
- When more than two Survivors remain, they may struggle while on a hook, but with no chance of escape or penalty for failure.
- Letting two struggle skill checks pass without any input will no longer instantly kill you.
- The Abandoned score event (given to Survivors when a teammate disconnects) is now also granted when a Survivor gives up via this system.
- Increased the Abandoned score event to 2,000 Bloodpoints (was 600).
Mori Update
- Near the end of a Trial, the Killer can now activate a Mori when 2 Survivors are alive and the following conditions occur simultaneously (up from 1 Survivor alive):
- 1 Survivor is Hooked and in the Struggle Phase
- 1 Survivor is in the Dying State
- When the above criteria are met, starting a Mori on a Survivor will now immediately start the Sacrifice of remaining Hooked Survivors in the Struggle Phase.
- Dev note: The change means that you do not need to wait for the hooked Survivor to be Sacrificed to be able to trigger a Mori. Performing a Mori with a single Survivor remaining will continue to function as it did before.
Offerings Updates
- All Realm/Map offerings now grant a flat 20% chance to be sent the associated Realm/Map.
- Duplicate Realm & Map offerings no longer stack.
- Most gameplay-altering offerings are now treated as secret during the loading screen reveal.
Spawn Rules
- Survivors now spawn within 12m of each other by default, when possible.
- Survivors now spawn on the same floor as each other by default, when possible.
- The Survivor offering, Shroud of Binding, has been replaced with a new offering, the Shroud of Separation. Its new effect causes Survivors to spawn apart from one another.
- Any owned Shrouds of Binding are converted to Shrouds of Separation.
- The Killer offering, Shroud of Separation, has been replaced with a new offering, the Shroud of Vanishing. Its new effect causes all Survivor spawn offerings to be rejected by The Entity.
- Any owned Shrouds of Separation are converted to Shrouds of Vanishing.
Spectator Mode
- Increased spectator slots in Custom Game to 5.
- Hotkeys have been assigned in Spectator Mode to make changing between players easier.
- Looping between players using the top bar while in Spectator Mode can now be done via hotkey.
- Added controller support for the above improvements.
Voiceover Language Setting
- "Voice Language" is a new setting added under the General tab.
- French can now be chosen for voiceovers on select characters:
- Sable Ward, Gabriel Soma, The Good Guy, The Good Gal, Ellen Ripley & Rain are now available.
Performance
- Improved optimization at game launch to reduce instances of stuttering in-game.

I really don't quite get why some perks like Babysitter and Unbound seem to have been nerfed from the ptb again. Other than that these seem like good changes. Can't wait to play Vecna with these fantastic buffs he is getting, and it's good to see the Artist feedback got considered as well.

Please make Freddy's hat basekit to make springtrap more distinct from huntress

Big L for AFK Crow system. Many perks will die for that. And good luck finding HEX totems without getting this AFK penalty ;)
21 -
In the PTB, Artist had nearly 22 bugs while on live servers, she has around 15 bugs that ruin the experience. There is no mentioning in the patch notes that her bugs got fixed. When can we expect the fixes for these bugs?
Why can you increase the sounds of the Were-Elk skin for Huntress in one patch but not the ones for survivors? Ace, Ada, and especially Orela are pay to win characters while Jeff is a pay to lose character. We telling you for years that this is not fair and still haven't received any information about it.
During the PTB, many players gave the feedback that the Shroud of Separation is way too powerful because one survivor has to use it to give every survivor a big advantage and the killer a huge disadvantage. Killers are now forced to use their Shroud offering every match. We told you the best solution would be that only the user will be separated from the other ones when they use it but not everyone. Why did you ignore the feedback that offerings should not have such an impact on the game.

"Increased Daily Quest Blood Point rewards (2500 → 5000)"
Any chance we could get the 30k per daily again? 15k total isn't much incentive to load in tbh
17 -
These two perks (as well as Batteries Included) saw their Haste values buffed alongside Steady Pulse, and what we saw over the last update cycle was that in cases where they were used, the increased speed burst they gave was a little too powerful for how easy they were to trigger. We've returned them to their pre-Steady Pulse Haste values, but are always keeping an eye on the performance of perks like this (and player feedback!) to consider future adjustments.
-13 -
No changes for the new AFK system? Are you serious?
21 -
OK sorry I thought these were buffs from the ptb. My mistake. Still kind of disappointed to see them nerfed considering none of them seemed to be meta.
8 -
Please reconsider the babysitter change. The 15% made going for the person off hook a not ideal choice and incentivized going for the unhooker instead. Now with the 10% haste it’s back to the obvious choice of going for the unhooked survivor.
15 -
This is a system we'll be keeping a close eye on over the coming days and weeks. While it can seem intimidating when broken out in bullet points, it's quite forgiving in practice during matches. Specifically, if you're moving around and finding yourself in and out of the Terror Radius, you should have ample time to do things like finding Hex Totems.
Of course, if you encounter specific scenarios in-game where you end up with AFK crows during the course of regular play, please flag them to us so we can keep the team informed!
-11 -
It's funny because few guys find soo many wrong things about this AFK system and give so much feedback :c

Hello, could you tell me if the team fixed the issue of killers' object spawns being affected by chests?I didn't see any of this in the patch note.

So Haywire is useless now, lol.
Here's to all of us fools that thought we might get a new endgame meta.

Could you please add the Plague vomit bug into the known issues pile, too?
It's incredibly grating.

Where is the website were we can see our stats?

Hey there! When it comes to prioritizing bug fixes, it can often be a delicate balance where tough choices have to be made, balancing how much time it takes to reproduce and fix a given bug against its relative impact to the wider community. While I can't provide a timeline for when certain Artist bugs will be resolved, I can confidently say that the team is aware of and have been looking into a number of Artist bugs.
As for the Shroud of Separation, this is a topic the team's been closely following and will continue to monitor. Sometimes, there are cases where a change looks dominant in theory, but doesn't end up having the same oomph in practice. This is what we saw on the PTB with the Shroud. BUT! That's not to say that's the end of the story. We'll be keeping a close eye on feedback as players dig into these offerings on the Live servers and get a feel for how they're impacting the game at a wider scale.

To be completely ######### honest you guys need to stop randomly nerfing perks that don't need nerfing like Haywire and Babysitter. Just stop nerfing survivors in general while tunneling is so strong.

Seems like feedback from PTB was overlooked at all.

I'm extremely concerned about this Disconnection Punishment (because let's face it, it is a punishment). Back in 2020, I was told by BHVR themselves that their system cannot tell the difference between an intentional Disconnect and one caused by a crash or someone's wifi disconnecting during the match.
So how will this system work? You couldn't test it in PTB to begin with, and **I** had to point that out to your community manager before the PTB even came out! Yikes!
If your system cannot tell the difference six years later, I have no hope for this system actually working as intended. People's wifi goes out, sometimes they have to leave to do something (life happens), the game itself disconnects you from the servers, etc. There's far too many variables outside of DC'ing out of one's volition to just leave a match because they want to or my favorite reason recently by a killer, "I was bored".
And no -- "getting better wifi" or "get a better console/PC" is not an answer. That's highly out of touch and very inequitable to suggest unless you're going to be paying for people's services.

If your terrible internet is ruining games often enough to the point where the penalty affects you then the penalty is working as intended. I don't care why you disconnect, you are ruining the game for four other people and if your internet is constantly dying you shouldn't be playing PvP online games.

Echoing what I shared in another thread, I'd love to some insight into why this nerf occurred.
We found that in the hands of the right Killers on the PTB, Haywire could be used to lock down the end game. While we've made the decision to nerf it for the time being, we're evaluating improvements to it for the future.

The doctor tome challenges are still bugged and can't be completed. It's the ones that say increase survivor madness to tier 1 (and tier 3) in a single trial.

Let me guess, Singularity and Springtrap, maybe even Twins.

The Disconnected Penalty sounds really concerning because there are number of factors that make this rule ineffective especially those who get accidentally DC'ed on their end, a system crash, or something to continue to find out the problem but get punished by that.
The Mori update is also quite concerning cause from the way I saw the PTB from streams and people talking about it and it's still not in the updated notes of the patch released. What if people have unbreakable, soul guard, plot twist or in the area of Boon: Exponential? The Killer can still mori you from those circumstances?? It's a strategy that is gonna be taken out because of this new updated Mori system, Like let's say I'm going for the save for the hooked survivor as the only survivor left alive standing but I got down by Hillbilly Chainsaw, I have unbreakable + soul guard and the killer is waiting for the hooked survivor to die so they can mori my dying body but I have the play to save the survivor. It's a plot twist in the end to sacrifice myself to save the hooked survivor so they can get out. But now that's gonna be bypass quickly to this updated Mori.
I like the Lich changes tho, good w.
Did anybody mention to the Devs that the Legion is bugged by not receiving movement speed penalty for ending Feral Frenzy from the PTB?

I'm sorry but this new AFK system is horrible. Are you saying that if I have a slugged teammate and I need to hide and try to get around a patrolling killer, I get a crow? So if I'm stealthy, I get crow? No. Remove this system and rework this again.

This is really neat. Are they going to add more options for stats down the road to this?
I want know things like how many people did I kill by condemn moring someone by Sadako’s Curse :)

Quick question, recently your team had acknowledged that haste can be problematic, so it was decided to remove haste stacking and buff multiple haste perks so they are better standalone. After player feedback, yall decided to cancel the implementation of preventing haste standalone. However, you did not bring back those buffed haste perks to their initial values. What we now have is an even worst state of not only still stackable haste perks but they maintained their haste buffs that were only there due to haste that was going to be non-stackable. Now we uave haste stacking and haste perks juiced up where haste is even more problematic than it was before. Yall had identified haste can be problematic, so why keep haste buffed? I see here in these patch notes that you have nerfed a few haste perks back to their initial values as I would have initially expected, but what about the rest of the haste perks that were buffed in expectation that haste would no longer be stackable? Excessive haste just breaks the balance of the game on both sides.

What makes the doors connect? Im a bit confused. is it the door you are currently teleporting from connect to the one you teleport to, but the one you teleported to stays connected to the one it already was?

Sounds like you like to hide all game instead of playing.

Mandy had mentioned on the feedback forum that this update would address the issue of Killer Object spawns conflicting with Chests, but I don't see this noted in the Patch Notes. Was this addressed? And if so how?

I beg you Devs to reconsider and rework the shroud offerings.
I feel that with time we will came back to the same fight of Map Offerings vs Sac Wards, now with Shroud of Separation vs Shroud of Vanishing
Aside from that, great patch!!

The team's always looking for ways this could be improved in the future, so we'll be gathering feedback and suggestions to share with them!

Heavily disagree with the batteries included, unbound, machine learning, and babysitter nerf all of those 3 killer perks stem away from the gen defense or aura reveal build that most people bring while these perks revolve around chase oriented builds. If you want killer players to be using different or new perks instead of the same things over and over you gotta stop nerfing new perks that actually differ from the usual meta. As for babysitter I think it should just be at a solid middle ground of 12% where it's not too fast but not too slow either.

To confirm, are you referring to the perks that had their Haste values buffed alongside Steady Pulse? If so, it's worth noting that 3 of these - Batteries Included, Unbound, and Babysitter - have had their Haste values reduced alongside today's update. This is to account for cases where we were seeing this speed burst performing a little too strongly, given how easy or consistent they are to trigger.

It was indeed addressed in today's update, but didn't quite make it into the patch notes. With this change, Killer Objects will spawn before Chests during the procedural generation of maps.

That is my problem. Currently, you should focus on the soundbug because this feels so awful and is so sad that such a big release gets ruin by an insane bug. However, Artist is bottom five of pickrate and I am afraid that her bugs will have a low priority and we have to deal with them for the next few month, which just ruins the experience (e.g. Sadako has still her invisible duration bug for nearly two years, Knight's stun while drawing patrol was also for nearly two years in the game). She is also really difficult to play and with these bugs, "newer" players will quickly drop her.
About the Shroud offering: It's not just about the theory. It is just about the gamedesign that one offering has such a big impact on a match and decide how difficult a match can be. We had to deal with map offerings for so many years and now dealing with another unhealthy offering is just awful. There is no other PvP game where players can change a match so much by just dropping a simple offering. You also said that Unbound was too strong for how easy it is to use even though it was already a niche pick, so why is an offering with such a big impact okay that takes zero effort from the user? Why is one thing okay but the other not?
Speaking of Unbound: Getting a hit and then vaulting a window within 30 seconds is not really easy to do, especially when it's an already map dependent perk that was only used by weaker killers. In addition, some killers also used a faster vaulting speed perk like Bamboozle to get more value. So, is a requierement of hitting and then vaulting + using a secondary perk really too easy to use? You also used that explanation for nerfing Pop (finding, hitting, downing, hooking, and then finding and kicking a gen with good progress within 45 seconds was also too use for you). If yes, shouldn't we nerf other perks as well like for example Lithe or Sprint Brust because vaulting something or pressing a button is not really skillful or takes a lot of effort. Same for Vigil, just having a perk equipped that counters so much status effects for free as well as your teammates, seems also too easy to use. Spirit's Dired Cherry Blossom add-on or Plague's Iri Seal is also really easy to use - you have to do nothing special to get big value that also counters usual counterplay. Where are you draw the line? Why is Unbound easy to use and too powerful but the mentioned perks/add-ons are fine?

Why did you make map offerings completely useless?!
20% is nothing and at this point just remove the useless junk from the bloodweb!
Make them 50% or at least 33% and give us the offering back if it doesn‘t work.
I tested it and tried it 10 times to get the map once. This is so stupid!

How happy! I hope it stays that way. Map offerings shouldn't even exist.

There shouldn‘t be useless features in a game.

Fully agree, so we are spending bps for useless map offerings

I'm sad about Babysitter. survivors needed that perk.
but hey, my empathic connections FINALLY here in its full glory! thanks bhvr I've waited years for this

List of some bugs I've encountered or heard about currently in the game:
• The Houndmaster has missing voicelines that should trigger upon a stun.
• The Houndmaster's Houndsense goes away once a survivor is unhooked or dies.
• The Houndmaster's face rig is broken during a mori.
• The Houndmaster's Dog gets stuck on map geometry and on ledges.
• The audio for cancelling Plague's power plays on every use of her power, cancelled or used normally.
• The audio is reversed/wrong on the new map.
• Spirit sees yellow objects in a glowing red while Phasing.
• The anti-hiding solution seems to trigger during chases and while a survivor is hooked.
• Using Shoulder the Burden in multiple games triggers the DC penalty. Similarly, getting hard tunneled out triggers the DC penalty too.
• While playing as Houndmaster on the new map, I started to randomly stutter, making walking look choppy and slow. No idea how this triggered and it fixed itself in an unknown way too.6 -
I can confirm the stuttering when playing Houndmaster. It felt like I moved at 5fps. I cannot explain how it happens because everything felt normal and then suddenly hello choppy and slow walking speed.
The Houndsense bug is also still in the game.
• The audio is reversed/wrong on the new map.
the developers are already aware of the issue!

Then delete them entirely? Not sure why this is complicated. At least then we can get more BP offerings. This game already has a major problem with there being an enormous amount of useless junk that nobody uses. In their current state no one is going to bring them once they realize how bad they are. What purpose do they serve?
