Having seen a thread regarding a possible rework of Freddy's addons, I figured I'd throw my ideas into the campfire as a sacrifice to the entity.:P (Maybe the entity will accept my sacrifices and put them into his rework...XD)


Common Addons:

Wool Shirt:

A small boy's orange and yellow striped shirt. Identified with a sewn name tag to "Jesse".

  • Slightly reduces the Survivor's movement speed while inside the dreamworld(3%)

Sheep Block:

A white and blue wooden block depicting two woolly Lambs grazing and the letter "S".

  • Freddy Appears slightly less often during the dream transition.
  • Slightly reduces vaulting speed while in dream world. Adds 0.3 seconds to all survivor vault times.


Kid's Drawing:

An unattributed drawing clearly crafted by a young child.

  • Slightly increases dreamworld transition time. Time to enter dreamworld increased by 0.5 seconds.
  • Survivor is afflicted with Blindness for 5 seconds after entering the dreamworld.

Garden Rake:

A small claw rake, a must have tool for any accomplished gardener.

  • Slightly increases movement speed after successfully putting a Survivor into the Dream World.
  • Recuperate slightly faster from missed attacks. The cool-down of missed attacks is reduced by 5%.

Uncommon Addons:

Outdoor Rope:

Sturdy outdoor rope, handy to tie up anything.

  • Renders the Survivor unable to be woken up from the dreamworld for 30 seconds. Failed skillchecks will not wake the Survivor nor can other survivors wake them up until 30 seconds have past.

Nancy's Sketch:

A crude and bold sketch made with Fusain, signed by Nancy H.

  • Moderately increases the dreamworld transition time. Time to enter dreamworld increased by 1.5 seconds.
  • Survivor is afflicted with Blindness for 15 seconds after entering the dreamworld.

Green Dress:

A little girl's green dress with a silky white ribbon.

  • Considerably reduces the Survivors movement speed while inside the dreamworld.(5%)
  • Survivor vaulting speed is slightly increased. Reduces all survivor vaulting times by 0.3 seconds.

Cat Block:

A white and purple wooden block depicting a sleeping Cat and the letter "C".

  • Freddy appears far less often during the dream transition.
  • Moderately reduces Survivor vaulting speed. Increases all survivor vaulting times by 0.5 seconds.

Prototype Claws:

A home-made tool to facilitate bush trimming.

  • Moderately increases movement speed after successfully putting a Survivor into the Dream World.

Rare Addons:

  • Survivor's Skillcheck chances are slightly increased.

  • Freddy rarely appears during the dream transition.
  • Considerably reduces Survivor vaulting speed. Increases all survivor vaulting times by 0.7 seconds.

Swing Chains:

Rusty, but sturdy chains used to securely attach a swing seat.

  • Survivors are temporarily locked into a first person view for 10 seconds after entering the dreamworld a second time and all times afterward.
  • While locked into the first person view, the survivor's cone of vision is increased by 10%.

Blue Dress:

A little girl's pale blue dress with white lace which's front is ruined by large cuts.

  • Tremendously reduces the Survivors movement speed while inside the dreamworld.(7%)
  • Survivor vaulting speed is moderately increased. Reduces all survivor vaulting times by 0.5 seconds.

Very Rare Addons:

Pill Bottle:

An empty pill bottle which once contained a medicine called "Zoneral".

  • Renders the Survivor unable to be woken up from the dreamworld once inside.
  • Tremendously increases the dream transition time. Time to enter the dreamworld increased by 10 seconds.(If the survivor manages to fail a skillcheck before they enter the dreamworld, they will not enter it.)
  • Only 2 Survivors can be in the dreamworld at one time. If a 3rd survivor is put to sleep another survivor at random is released from the dreamworld except for your current obsession.

Paint Thinner:

A tin of a highly volatile and inflammable material.

  • Tremendously increases movement speed after successfully putting a Survivor into the Dream World.
  • Recuperate considerably faster from missed attacks. The cool-down of missed attacks is reduced by 15%.

  • Tremendously increases the dreamworld transition time. Time to enter dreamworld increased by 4.5 seconds.
  • Survivor is afflicted with Blindness for the entire time they are inside the dreamworld.

"Z" Block:

A deeply scratched and burnt wooden block which's only recognisable feature is the letter "Z".

  • Freddy never appears during the dream transition.
  • Tremendously reduces Survivor vaulting speed. Increases all survivor vaulting times by 1.0 seconds

Red Paint Brush:

A large paint brush, wet with crimson paint.

  • Survivors do not hear the children singing when Freddy is near them.
  • Slightly reduces movement speed.
  • Tremendously reduces the Dream Transition. Time to fall asleep reduced by 3 seconds.

Black Box:

A black cardboard box filled with photographs.

  • Grants the ability to kill injured or healthy Survivors who have been inside the dreamworld for more than 60 seconds.
  • You become Obsessed with one survivor.
  • You are unable to kill your obsession no matter how long they are inside the dreamworld.


This is my extensive idea for a Freddy Rework. It makes him far more powerful and gives him an edge against survivors so they are far less likely to able to abuse his weakness of being forced to put them into the dreamworld first before he can hurt them. ;)


Edit: Upon rereading this, i realized the movement speed debuffs were OP as hell they have been reduced to 3,5, and 7% respectively for balance reasons.

Edit 2: Added balancing effect to the Pill Bottle Addon since if left alone, Freddy could potentially put all survivors in the dreamworld with no way out which is OP.
