Freddy's Immunities and Strategies Against Him

[Dalton Xander]

Hey people of the fog. I just wanted to start a discussion on the strategies that do and do not work against Mr. Krueger. In doing this, hopefully it will help some more Survivors survive against this new threat that has arrisen.

First off, I highly suggest that while going up against Freddy, four perks should be used:

1. Bond - So that if you get transitioned into the dream state and Freddy does not hit you, finding teamates to quickly wake up will be easy.

2. Kindred - Gen reparing at any given chance is MANDATORY with Freddy. Having teamates see where eachother are and choosing which one saves you is precious in that more time can be spent on gens.

3. We'll Make It - WMI is crucial for me and others because it gives the chance to completely heal right after an unhook. That way if Freddy is close he'll have to spend extra time once again inducing sleep and then chasing one of you to a hopefully safe area.

4. Self Care - While seeming like an obvious choice, Self Care actually helps immensly against Freddy. While sleeping, your debuffs are MASSIVE and the only way to get awake is either find a teamate (in which all can be in the dream state too) or use Self Care to fail a skillcheck to wake up. It's quick, easy and saves potentially lost gen progression.

With all this being said, no matter what perks you use, there should be some things of note:

1. Flashlights, as a bug result, do not work on Freddy so I've been told. I have not tested this, but be aware.

2. Blood Amber Add on attached to a key does NOT reveal Freddy's Aura while awake.

3. Freddy's lulluby indicating his presence is NOT precise. The louder it is, does NOT mean he is next to you. His lulluby seems to indicate that he is in fact furthest away from you when loudest. That, or again it could be the result of a bug. I have indeed tested this out.

Finally, with that off my chest, I hope I helped a few people at least in understanding what can be done to help counter him slightly. Freddy is a killer. And these suggestions are not cure alls. And so experiences are likely differing. However I feel and have experienced that these are the best ways to help you and your fellow fog members survive.

I encourage others to also contribute to this thread things I have not found out yet or may have forgotten in my time of getting wrecked alot today. :p

See you out there people. Whether it be taking one for the team, or taking it all.

I'll add that Technician is good against him too. In the game I just finished, Technician 1 allowed me to wake up twice by failing skill checks but gave him no alerts.

Really? That sounds very useful! I'll make sure to test it out myself later on. Still, generator progress is so precious with Krueger. I feel that I might rather take a self care failed check over lost progress on a gen. :c

In the few games ive played, I have blinded freddy Both while im awake and he is carrying a survivor, resulting in the player being saved, and while in the sleep state with him chasing me after a pallet stun.

it does not work against him.

Flashlights are working just fine.

as a killer I have been blinded by flashlight as freddy when the other person wasn't in the sleep mode when I was carrying someone else its just harder because he is invisible
