Dead by Daylight's New Nightmare | 8.5.0 PTB Feedback



Read more Dead by Daylight ➜ https://deadbydaylight.mgn.gg

The Freddy rework is here on the PTB, and it’s (generally) great! There’s definitely still some work to be done to get him in the state he needs to be, but all around this is one of DBD’s best reworks to date. What a start to 2025!

  1. its funny. this rework feels more like the freddy we know and love. rather then the reboot freddy. between the explosive pallets. teleporting to injured people. it feels very much like the joke cracking freddy that we know and love. and the snare works aswell. just feels like mr jokes getting serious. it just feels like well. classic freddy. we need a robert englund freddy skin

  2. Everyone's saying BHVR cooked with this rework.. That makes me feel hope about Skully's rework..

    People who miss her (me included) might be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel

  3. Honestly, I'd have been surprised if the rework made Freddy MORE boring than before. My only real complaint is the Dream Snares being changed to another midrange projectile is….well, exceptionally predictable and 'safe'. But the Dream Pallet change is pretty dang cool and I like it. Just needs a bit of polishing up.

    Should make the stun shorter

    And make them less noticeable.

    The fact that when you are awake you can see the red glow from across the map.

    Also you have no penalty for just slamming all the pallets even when awake.

  5. Why would i use my power to put someone to sleep with a power that has a 5 second cooldown when i could just hit someone to get them into the dream world instead? 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 or by slugging them since they wake up if you down them, 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 short 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. Current Freddy's base teleport is 45 seconds and it has a 15% per each survivor in the dreamworld so that's 60 % a cooldown reduction making his teleport be 18 seconds if everybody is asleep and if you are using the Nancy's Masterpiece and Sketch it's 20 % more so that would be an 80 % cooldown reduction so that's an 9 second teleport cooldown if they are all asleep. People really need to read what they did instead of just going with the notion that this is a "buffed" version of Freddy. Where are the buffs here? Except the ability to teleport to healing survivors, teleport to every single gen on map and teleport to exit gates but why in god's name would you heal in the dreamworld when you are going for a slugged survivor when you can just use an alam clock to get sleep immunity for 30 seconds? My biggest issue that i'm wondering is what is the danger of being in the Dreamworld besides him teleporting to healing survivors and the Oblivious status effect with a lullaby. I genuinely wanna know.

  6. Asleep survivors shouldn't get the visual effect for fake pallets. That's a given. Dream pallets also shouldn't stun freddy, they're his creation in his world, why does he get cucked by them? As it stands i think pallets have been nerfed because of how situational they are, a survivor dropping a fake pallet in chase right now almost guarantees a hit anyway, this doesn't guarantee a hit and can screw freddy over

  7. With Freddy’s rework, i really hope Merchant can get her smash hit too. I want her to be fun for both sides, and strong to play. Maybe not as good as nurse, but still a good killer. Fredy is now, so…let’s hope

  8. my only hope now is that they can SOMEHOW make a deal with the license holders to give freddy voice lines in game

    if any killer should be talking shit to survivors its freddy wishful thinking i know but heres hoping

  9. The problem with merchant isn't her power anymore since 3 genning is pretty much killed. It's the winning players that just hate her on principal alone and a prime example on why removing DC penalties didn't really work. Complain about the dev all you want put the community is just as bad if not worse at times

  10. Idk if they won't add it because of license issues but I was really hoping hed get his own chase music and voice lines. Even if its Jackie Freddy, it would have been cool to get voicelines for him

  11. My only problem now is really that it doesn't have much to do with Freddy Krueger. His first version still remains the one that felt like playing the Nightmare, now he pretty much feels like any other killer with a mid-range power but with a teleport.And while now people are healing in the dream world, I can tell you in a month nobody is going to be healing in the dream world or waking up before getting injured, just like people don't cleanse against plague exept low levels (and reworked Freddy is still a noob stomper).
