The arrival of Springtrap in Dead by Daylight has introduced a new dimension of terror, especially for those unfamiliar with the game. To obtain this formidable character, known as The Animatronic, players must acquire specific content. This guide outlines the necessary steps.

Acquiring Springtrap in Dead By Daylight

Owners of the base game seeking to control this mechanical nightmare must purchase the Five Nights at Freddy’s expansion. Accessible through digital storefronts like PlayStation Network or Xbox Marketplace, this add-on typically retails for around $5. For players preferring direct acquisition, in-game currency offers an alternative route.

Obtaining Auric Cells

Navigate to the character selection menu and choose Springtrap to view the premium currency requirement. Selecting the purchase option reveals available Auric Cell bundles through platform-specific transactions. While 500 Cells ($5) suffices for unlocking, investing in the full expansion provides better cost efficiency.

• Sensory Overload: Trigger visual alerts when observed within proximity, revealing victim positions.
• Exit Gate Disruption: Automatic regression of final objectives accompanied by chaotic visual effects during repairs.
