Best Freddy Build?

[The Terminator]

Sadly, I'm a P3 Freddy, and I want answers to which build is the best for him
So far I have Agitation, Brutal Strength, Devour Hope, and Nurses, none of which atm is tier 3

[Rasalas]

There's a simple formula you can follow, not saying it'll work for everyone but it always does for me.

Go to the loadout screen, now go back to the character selection screen and select literally any other Killer.

Best Freddy Build ever.

[Senpai Copper-san]

With how bad he currently is his own perks are pretty much the best for him. All late game focus. BBQ and chili is a GREAT mod for him however, since you need to constantly keep putting survivors into sleep, and it's the best for continual sight.

BBQ is decent for putting other people to sleep since it helps find them, Nurse's Calling is also good, so is Remember Me and NOED. If you need time you can swap BBQ or Nurse's for Ruin, but there's not that much that's good on him.

bbq - remember me - noed - m&a

Strongly disaggree.

Fire Up is useless. I'm not using some hyperbole description here when I say that, I mean it actually, literally does nothing at all.
See here, someone went through the trouble of demonstrating why:

Blood Warden is so extremely situational you basically have to get the Stars to Align and Cthulhu to wake up for it to actually get into effect and for you to gain any benefit from it.

Remember Me is, again, so extremely situational and dependent on the Obsession not making it to the end of the match and going away with at least 5 hits (which require multiple chases and it may cost you 2-4 gens just to get those hits and potentially nothing else).
What you get in return is a slight delay that you won't notice because Survivors have more powerful and ubiquitous tools with which to delay you.

By the time you get that one hook after the exit gates are powered, both gates will be open and the Survivors will still get away because by the time you'll reach them, the exit gates will either be unlocked again or they'll just waste your time until they do.

Nurses calling could be a lot better on Freddy if waking someone up didn't take literally 2 seconds..............

Of course I didn't mean Fire Up. That should go without saying. Rember me and Blood Warden aren't A tier but on Freddy they work... a little. Nothing really helps him, and it's nice to have a reward for having an obession survivor. They get DS and no penalty if you don't have an obession perk so might as well when you're playing Cripple I mean Freddy.

I have to disagree here in regards to Remember Me. That one is a genuinely great perk overall and can extend game time by a lot since being in chases and hitting people is exactly what you want to do in the first place, also Freddy can extend the door time to 75 seconds with it and no addons, and several minutes with addons. It's practically another, quicker game that can happen at the end and if you have NOED you can make some really good playes.

I'd say that you kinda need Remember Me and NOED on Freddy.

The other perks can just be your preferences

The point of Nurse's is to find them after they've woken up/are unhooked/are healed off the ground, not just when you're looking for them in a chase since you can just see their aura's when they're sleeping.

If they're nearby and you can't see them NC will be invaluable. Once they wake up you're gonna have a hard time finding them. NC will extend your chasing potential.

Keep in mind they wake up once they're hooked and healed off the ground. NC helps a lot here too, not just in extending chases.

I've never gotten to use it, so I only knew about the healing. Not sure if waking up from sleep counts as healing, but since snapping someone out of madness does I just assumed.

Freddys best build hands down is BBQ NOED RUIN and REMEMBER ME with the Z BLOCK and UNICORN BLOCK.

Not really, his addons that slow down action speed stack with Remember Me and the sleep debuff, they need to be on the exit gates for minutes to open them in those cases whereas the blocks still allow them to find pallets and loop you.
