Is it worth using BBQ on Pyramid Head?

Is it? I am asking because I am worried I won't get all 4 survivors on a hook for the first time. Because I can cage them.

    Of course, hook related perks on him are still good, just a little less effective on him. Just remember that playing to p head's strengths of cages is great. However, if you want more BP, then I suggest using Doctor with bbq, beast of prey, infectious, and STBFL. With survivor pudding or BPS of course.

    I understand what you mean. But, I don't want to play a killer that I find unpleasant only because I'm hungry for BP. I main Pyramid Head and that's why I still want to play him while being able to earn tons of BP.

    Thank you! Also, what do you think of my future build for Pyramid Head? BBQ, Tinkerer, Hex: Ruin and what do you think should be the 4th perk?

    It could be the meta undying if you want, or something like infectious.

    Undying: I feel like I don't need to explain why you should use this, but use it if you want.

    Infectious fright: I say this is a good p head perk because you can use it to better decide when to cage a survivor. If 1 survivor screams, it is best to cage. If 2 scream, you can probably cage and waste time if you can find the 3rd survivor somehow or guess where they are (far away from where the cage will take the survivor), and if you hear 3 screams somehow you can send a survivor to a cage and get good value out of it. It is also great in general and pairs very well with M&A.

    I don't want to use the Hex: Ruin and Undying meta because of how boring it is. I just feel bad for the survivors. I like the idea of having Infectious Fright as the 4th perk, how do you feel about I'm All Ears?

    My build on Pyramid head uses BBQ and Infectious Fright. If Infectious triggers on a down it is almost always a good idea to cage in lieu of slugging to keep the pressure going. However if it doesn't trigger, then I am more inclined to hook someone to find people and so that the others have to run to unhook them.

    I also like bloodpoints as well, that might be the real reason I insist on hooking people at least once.
