    I believe he has the same standard movement speed UNLESS you use one of his powerful addons (I forget which one), and his power makes t so that it doesn’t help him in a chase at all

    he is as loopable as 90% of the killer.
    The only killer that aren't suceptible to looping are killer that have power that actually do something to help against it unlike freddy power that barely do anything to begin with.

    Most are vulnurable to looping, only Nurse, Clown, Hag and Trapper can do something about it. Everyone else has to eat them.

    If you get looped with Freddy, you're playing him wrong. He's perfect for breaking the chase and coming back when survivors don't expect it.

    Especially with Insidious 3, go around a corner once they break line of sight, wait a short while and surprise them.

    Freddy is probably the only Killer who can use insidious somewhat aggressively, it also helps if a sleeping survivor is within your TR.

    Be warned that some survivors will wait at pallets till the end of days so you might wanna go before it backfires.

    He's not as bad as Leatherface tho.

    At least Freddy is short.

    I use M&A and let them wait at the pallet. When i see they go to a gen or stop for healing, i come back. Going for anything else in the meantime.

    There is always the clutch failed self care skill check after the pallet drop that happen on occasion too.

    Lol, most killers gets looped so idk about the title. Freddy can juggle his targets due to his power, run enduring/bamboozle if it's an issue or late game sweep classphoto, remember me, noed if it's bad. Quick sleep bamboozle ia good too. Tag, then vault to block, strike.

    I mean, only  1/3 of the killers are only able to counter looping.(Nurse, Huntress, Clown, and Hag)
