Best Springtrap Animatronic Perk Builds in Dead By Daylight
Springtrap has arrived in Dead By Daylight, and brings three unique perks with him. Coming straight from Five Nights At Freddy’s, Springtrap, known in DBD as The Animatronic, will benefit from some gnarly perk builds to complement his power, and we have a few Springtrap perk builds to recommend.

InDead By Daylight, Springtrap’s power utilizes a fire axe that he can throw at Survivors and grab for a jumpscare. Every Springtrap game has a Security System features where seven doors are dotted around the map, used by both The Animatronic and the Survivors.
Each door has a camera from which Survivors can spy on and reveal the Killer’s location. Springtrap can move quickly through the map using these security doors, and he can also grab any Survivor moving through the Security System.
With these powers in mind, we have curated a few Springtrap perk builds to help you find and chase down Survivors.
The Animatronic Springtrap comes with three unique teachable perks that can be added to any perk build:
AsPhantom Fearis an aura-reading perk, it would be good to support it using other aura perks. Of course, the perks you choose depend on what Killers you have unlocked, but we love Barbeque & Chilli from The Cannibal (Bubba), A Nurse’s Calling from The Nurse, and Iron Grasp, a general perk available to all Killers. Iron Grasp helps you keep a hold of those pesky Survivors as you carry them to the hook, while BBQ grants you the ability to see the auras of other Survivors after you hook their teammate. When they heal each other, A Nurse’s Calling will show their positions, and Phantom Fear will help you keep track of each one as they enter your radius.
Help Wantedis a generator-based perk, so we have created a specific Springtrap perk build to support it. First up, we recommend Brutal Strength, a general perk available to all Killers, to speed up your gen-kicking. Next, Overcharge, a Doctor perk, reduces the generator progress and gives the Survivor a difficult skill check, which, if failed, reduces progress further and alerts you to their failure. Finally, we would add Trail of Torment, an Executioner perk, that grants you the Undetectable status, hiding your Terror Radius from the unsuspecting Survivors.
Haywireis an end-game perk, and a good addition to a surprise end-game Sprintrap perk build that will slow Survivors trying to escape. No Way Out helps slow down the opening of the Exit Gates, as does Remember Me. As long as you have been active in injuring and hooking Survivors through the game, these two will make opening the gates very difficult. If they do manage to get the gates open, you can try to hook a Survivor before they all leave and activate Blood Warden, blocking their exit completely.
That’s all we have for the best Animatronic Springtrap perk builds in Dead By Daylight. For more DBD fun, why notcheck out all Ken Kaneki perks and powers.
