He can passively put Survivors to sleep, set traps, teleport to objectives, and even avoid being stunned by Pallets. As a Killer, Freddy has some of the most complicated mechanics in Dead By Daylight. According to Dead By Daylight lore, Freddy returned to Springwood after being attacked and killed by angry parents and continued to terrorize Quentin in his dreams.
He is based on the 2010 remake version of the iconic slasher. Many famous monsters and villains from popular horror media have featured as Killers across various DLC chapters in Dead By Daylight, including Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street. In Dead By Daylight, Freddy Krueger is given the nickname 'The Nightmare' and comes with the Chapter VI: A Nightmare on Elm Street DLC.
