Give us an option to play Old Freddy

The Old Snares and the Add-on Pill Bottle were removed in this PTB. A lot of fun add-ons got replaced by boring ones. My request is to give us 2 add-ons that reflect Old Freddy.

PTB Blue Dress

In the PTB there is a meme-addon called Blue Dress, which gives you an old version of Snares. However, you cannot trap anymore. You have only one of them and it disappears in 8 seconds. This add-on is neither fun nor useful. Give this add-on 8 dream snares and 8 dream pallets which work the same way as Freddy 2.0 (current version).

Old Pill Bottle

In the PTB this add-on's old effect was removed and replaced with faster sleep. It used to be full to partial invisibility depending on distance. It pains me to see it being removed. This add-on was weak but fun to use. Combine New Black Box with New Class Photo into one add-on and create a new iridescent add-on. This add-on has new stats: 1. decreases the Lullaby radius to 16 meters. 2. decreases the full invisibility range to 16 meters for awake survivors. 3. decreases the terror radius to 16 meters. 4. Removes Dream Snares and Dream Pallets.

    Why would anyone want to play with the old Freddy? Only if they liked to suffer. The new dream snare is much more effective, and that pill addon was horrible, because it didn't affect your terror radius at all, so the survivor knew where you were anyway. And I don't think reworking the addon like this would be a good idea, because new players already have difficulty understanding how the dream world works.That would only complicate things further.

    yeah agree on this. old pill bottle was great. it had a fun ability of bringing old freddy back in some form. Sucks to see it get replaced by "sleep faster"

    You have old Freddy back in some instances, Dream snares are on a 5 second cooldown, the Hindered is less than before, survivors can wake up from every alarm clock, teleport cooldown can't be reduced like old Freddy currently by keeping survivors in the dreamworld by slugging them since they wake up if you down them or just using sketch and the masterpiece add-on which can give you a 9 second teleport cooldown, teleport can't be canceled at all, Dream pallets are visible to survivors now, erupt is extremely hard to get a hit with since it has a 1,5 second delay and only a 3 meter radius, Freddy can be stunned by his own dream pallets, Clown has a better hindered effect (15%) against Freddy's 12 % with a 5 second cooldown (how is that a buff?), any alarm clock can be used by a survivor now, the wake up interaction is always 5 seconds, Black Box is not going to work since when you down survivors now it wakes them up, Red Paint Brush makes it take longer for survivors to fall asleep. Where are the buffs here? Except the ability to teleport to healing survivors but why would you heal in the dreamworld to begin with?

    I think people agree, that Freddy needs changes from Live and PTB. Freddy has a better chase power now, that is a good thing. However, the trap playstyle and fun add-ons are gone. You cannot trap with the snares anymore or flank survivors with Pill Bottle. I think some players liked the older versions of Freddy more.

    2 add-ons that bring Freddy 1.0 and 2.0 back in some way, would make all Freddy players happy and create a middle ground. Even if they are weaker than PTB Freddy.

    I do not want Pill Bottle to go back to its previous state, because it is too weak. If my proposed iridescent add-on is in the game, it would make Freddy feel like Freddy 1.0 if used with the new Red Paint Brush (aura reading). It would be better if Freddy could be fully invisible to awake Survivors in some, shape or form.

    Because he felt thematic. Being able to hit awake survivors doesnt make sense to freddy… He does not live in the mortal plane, he is a dream-demon who can only do what he does within the dream. Only by pulling survivors in, can he kill.
