Fresh off the Reddit Q&A

We're also gonna get a roadmap with planned changes! W!

Finally!
Please, PLEASE let it be the changes he actually needs.

My dream is that we get old Freddy back with qol changes. I mained him back in the day and he always felt like such a unique Killer to play, just the gamr environment and meta at the time made him useless
8 -
I really hope these will be good. Freddy has so much potential to be good, they just need to do the right steps.

I was hoping you'd see this, king.

Really excited to hear about the Freddy update! His isn't even strictly a power issue, though it's also that. Like… there are killers that are weak but fun to play. Freddy has nothing. His kit is so empty and everything he has, someone else does better. Here's hoping he's getting more than number buffs. Him being able to use both snares and pallets at once would be fun, but I'm also hoping for new things that would make the dream world more of a threat than it currently is.

Big W lads, viva la Freddy rework!

I hope Freddy loses the ability to spam 99% teleports every few seconds, because that is by far the most annoying thing for survivors that he does.
1 -
We're in the same boat, my friend. It has been five years, a very long wait, but this might be it.
Maybe we are getting our killer back, after all this time.
So do i, my friend. It was never right for Freddy, once the most unique killer in the game, to remain in his current state for so long.
And I thank you for sharing it here, my dear friend!
Your main is also in the radar, as we knew he would. Any expectations?
5 -
I just hope they listen to the community. When you read people's suggestions for how Mikey should be changed nobody is looking for a rework of him. They just want buffs to his existing kit, and the tombstone add ons nuked of course.
That's my hope/expectation. They've captured the essence of his character with his power, it just needs updating to put him in a more comfortable spot.
5 -
I mean… can you really fault him? The fake teleport spooking survivors off gens and potentially into his approach is like, one of the only things Freddy has going for him. Man's kit is so watered down.

Oh sweet Jesus

My mains! So happy about this! Thanks for sharing!

@GeneralV You were the first person I thought of reading this. As a fellow huge fan of Freddy, I am so excited to see what they do for him. Let's hope they make him decently viable!
2 -
Welcome to my world, #########!
We Freddy-Mains highly recommended an update for the King of all Slashers out there! Finally the goal seems to come closer to us!@GeneralV is it possible that we finally can win our endless fight for Freddy? We should make the PTB together to create an awesome feedback for Peanits and the devs.

Do I hear a need for rework ideas?
0 -
Actually GeneralV and myself already suggested a lot of different rework-ideas. Will be very interesting to see what they have in store.
While we wait, enjoy this awesome theme I found on youtube (Fan-Made):2 -
More feedback never hurts, but I imagine if they already have an update planned for Freddy, they have a design they're going forward with and want to test. Ballparking ideas seems more suited for Myers, who's on the radar but probably doesn't have a clear direction yet.
Though I will say this. Freddy's licenseholders are notoriously difficult and I know we have the remake instead of the OG… but if any killer in this game needs voicelines, any of them, it's him. Please. Somehow.

I hope the changes are more than just making Freddy stronger. Making pallets and snares basekit isn't enough to make him fun to play.
I want a Freddy where it takes him longer to get survivors into the dream world. But when he does, he can insta-kill survivors, similar to Myer's Tombstone Piece. He might end up similar to Sadako, but it would be accurate to his lore.
0 -
Hopefully it's not a revert back to old freddy in any way, shape or form.
0 -
I'm hoping for OG Freddy with tweaks and improvements. There's nothing fun or original with Dream Snare/Pallet Freddy. It could be S tier and it would still be boring and unthematic. Hope they leave that Freddy behind.
0 -
But the Dream Projection with using Fake-Teleports is a unique thing that I would miss if we go entirely back to OG-Freddy.
For me, OG-Freddy without Aurareading, but with the Teleport seems fine. In addition, in Dream Transition survivors should become Incapacitated, so they cannot finish gens in your face while you look at them.Im VERY curious to see what they will do with Freddy. VERY CURIOUS.
0 -
The fake teleports just need a much higher cooldown. Being able to fake teleport is fine, but it’s miserable to play against when fake teleports are being spammed every few seconds on cooldown.
0 -
The aurareading was THE component that made it so interesting. That's nearly the entire reason for going back to OG. It made him a macro killer with juggling the team in the 1v4. If you remove that he's entirely no longer a macro killer, it just makes him another anti loop micro focused killer like the other DOZEN we have already with a different splash of paint on it. No uniqueness.
Incapacitated on transition does sound like a good fix for the old issues that version had.
0 -
Thats how the combo with Dead Mans Switch works and its the only fun thing he has currently (for me).
0 -
Yea I played the old version 5 times or so in an old version with 2 other people. Never played him cause I am part of the game since 2021. If thats the case, it wouldnt be good to remove that component.
Lets wait und see what the devs have in store.1 -
Pulling for you my friend! You've been beating the Frederick drum longer and louder than anyone!!
3 -
we cannot lose hope.
2 -
So much delicious hope in this thread.
The entity is feeding well tonight.
4 -
I'm praying they make Freddy cool again… PLEASE.
5 -
I'm both exited and scared for what the changes to Freddy will be lol.
0 -
LETS GOOOO
1 -
Freddy will finally be himself again 😭
2 -
They already told us about it in previous AMAs. Nothing new.
0 -
Can't wait to see what they bring to the table for these reworks. Both of them need it.
1 -
: ( distance future.
I hope they dont make easier to play. Stronger, yes.
They keep making killers stronger while being easier to use.
0 -
Yes it is something new. We had no idea when we might expect them. Now we have some kind of time frame.
1 -
At least both of them are not a killer who can't be weaker… I guess

Good to see you back my fellow Dream Deamon! I can't wait to see what they do!

I can't speak for Freddy though I'd love to play a reworked one, Freddy is such a fun and unique slasher character and we need more representation for him in the Fog. I wanna like him but his kit is so time-consuming and weak. Buff the numbers and speed, and he could be great.
For Myers… my hope is he gets some serious number buffs, maybe some addons made partial basekit, and the Tombstone addons HEAVILY reworked. His whole thing is built around Obsession so maybe even make him more threatening TO the Obsession. Oh and make it so he doesn't run out of stalk, why does he even have that? Perhaps even give him a basekit mori for one person if you fulfill some requirement, or only on the Obsession, so he still has a bit of that thematic feel that Tombstone provided without having him be nigh on overpowered with it. He shouldn't be "just a weaker Ghostface". This is the friggin' BOOGEYMAN we're talking about, he should be powerful, strong, unstoppable, and SCARY to go against.

Long time no see! I immediately thought of you when I read the response. I’m so glad to see that you dropped by 😊
Excited to see what happens to Freddy!
1 -
I see.
I must admit I don't want to see the Tombstone add-ons nuked, but other than that I agree with the community's opinion here. Myers really doesn't need a full rework, just some buffs.
I'm hoping for decent changes, my friend, I really am. Freddy has always deserved better than to be left to rot for so long.
@GeneralV is it possible that we finally can win our endless fight for Freddy?
I sincerely hope so, my dear friend! It has been 5 long years of waiting, and I'd like to finish this journey with a victory, if possible.
Whatever happens, I'll be here as soon as the changes are released in the PTB.
We won't, my friend. We won't.
Thank you, my dear friend! Freddy IS the very reason why I joined the Forums in the first place. The reason why I insisted on Old Freddy's return whenever I could.
And it seems this long journey is going to end soon. For better or worse, I'll be here when it happens.
That is what we are all hoping for, my friend!
Good to see you to, my fellow Freddy main. Our long, LONG wait is finally coming to an end.
3 -
This sounds like Freddy should be receiving something soon and we'll hopefully find out when it is when the roadmap releases.
I hope Myers gets something sooner rather than later. Freddy was said to be 'on the radar' in the first AMA over a year ago. So now that Myers is getting placed 'on the radar', I hope that doesn't mean having to wait another year or two for changes :(
1 -
Good to see ya, my friend! Indeed I haven't been here much, that update with the rubber banding made the game literally unplayable for me, and during the anniversary I was playing Elden Ring's outstanding DLC.
But it seems Freddy is getting a change, and I must be here for that! It has been 5 long years, hard to believe this journey of mine for Freddy might end soon.
