The "Hoarder" playstyle of Pinhead has been nerfed

- Addons relating to increasing solving time of the box have been nerfed.

- More importantly, chain hunts won't interrupt survivors while they are solving the box.

I think this is a good change personally. Having the chain hunts interrupt you even when trying to solve the box was unfair. Plus they didn't change Hoarder at all so it is still a good perk for Pinhead. Although the change to the addons might make them useless now.

    I wouldn't really say it nerfed hoarder. The situation where hoarder did anything was if a survivor picked up the box near you and then tried to leave to a different area. Since solving it immediately and on the spot doesn't give much time to react to the hoarder notification.

    Very good change. I'd like to see Franklin's/Hoarder not interact with trial-related items like Nemesis vaccines or Pinhead's box, but that might be tricky to code.

    Well before this PTB you could be interrupted by chain hunts, giving more time for the killer to reach you. Not anymore though.

    I still say Hoarder is a good perk to run on Pinhead though, but now it is not going to be as meta.
