Nerf Pyramid Head
I know it’s only been a day so I’m already ready for some salt but In my opinion I think Pyramid Head needs a nerf even though half the posts on here are asking for buffs. I’m specifically speaking of his power of sending survivors to cages. His cage doesn’t count as a hook but it’s considered a hook stage, so with that being said no perks will work when you get out of the cage such as DS, borrowed time. I’ve already went against a few pyramid heads that instantly run to the cage so that way they can down and hook the survivor who just got unhooked from the cage. What’s the fun in that? I’ve already seen a post on here that said he can actually stand right in front of a caged survivor and it won’t give the option for anyone else to unhook and I actually hope that’s a bug and not intended. Don’t get me wrong I actually love his ranged attack but the whole cage thing is ridiculous. People say you can dodge the trails by crouching over them but he can leave trails around a loop or a tile during a chase so it will be difficult to avoid it. I just hope the devs look into this and see how unfair it can be if you get a Pyramid Head that wants to play like a jerk for no reason.

If they did anything to it for these tunneling situations it should just be change it so the killer cant see where the cage is and just get a notification that they have been unhooked instead.

If you don't want caged don't walk in the barbed wire. Yeah that's right, stop on top of it and let yourself get hit. If you're wounded he has to hook you. If you're not wounded use your speed boost to get away from him in the direction you came. Lucky you: You know where all the pallets you just passed are. PH is B-tier killer bruh, just wait until you get a Nurse that slams your whole team because they're just that good.

Nerf survivors.

That would be a good idea tbh I’m all for it.
2 -
Also no perks that works for hooking won't work at the killer side to, so no more locker spaming noises while being protected by a ds addapt to a new play style.
9 -
I think he kind of sucks so far. If im in a camping mood ill play bubba. Who knows though maybe hell grow on me. His power is pretty hard to use honestly. You just have to avoid the torment. Do that and hes an m1 killer

This is what I don't understand and I submitted my Feedback during the PTB.
Don't allow Pyramid Head to see where the cages are, what's the purpose of this? All survivor perks to avoid tunneling are useless against him because of the Cage Mechanic, which I think is great! It's so great! BUT why does he need to see them? It makes no sense.
And I'm playing as him all day! I've been playing as him and it makes no sense!
7 -
Exactly, if unhooking perks won’t work then at least make it so that he has to find the cage instead of him being able to see it immediately and directly head towards it.
2 -
I don't think Pyramid Head needs a nerf in general but I do agree that the cage mechanics are weird. The caged survivor shows up about as far on a map as possible from the killer though so if your survivor friends fail to get there before the killer can camp then I don't know what to tell you. I really don't like that WGLF doesn't get tokens when you uncage survivors though. I'm good with BT or DS not working on caged survivors but WGLF just gives bonus bloodpoints. Good luck getting 4 WGLF tokens against Pyramid Head.

You remind me of someone who wants killers to chase them with roses in pink sunglasses. PH is stupidly weak aside from his cages, which will never work if people don't hit his power. The only way his power works is in a chase and even then, move to the next loop; problem solved.
0 -
”move to the next loop” you say, but forgot that half the maps got nerfed which means the almost all maps have massive dead zones unless you’re in an indoor map like the game which has crap tons of pallets.
1 -
I'm an avid DS supporter, and I don't mind that DS or BT don't work with the cages, believe me.
I am against him knowing where the cages are, killers will abuse this mechanic. This is the main reason I'm avoiding survivor for the next few weeks until the Pyramid Head fad dies down a bit.
3 -
Honestly yes take the hit if you have to crouch on barbed wire. Sure you go down quick but now you have your ds. Better yet leave the pallet when he starts his trail. I’m sorry but you need to adapt to the new play style with him like other killers like nurse and spirit. Also just like all killers whether they camp or not, do gens since this killer is nowhere near nurse and he’s not even bubba camping “strong”.
2 -
I’ve been playing him all day...want to know how many times I’ve smacked someone fresh off the cage? 2. Why did this happen? I was actively chasing someone and they decided to run me right to the cage and make a pit stop to uncage. I ignored the poor sod who had the worst teammate ever of course in both cases, but all the same, I don’t think it solves the problem you’re trying to solve. Idiots are going to alruism lemming even if they have to astral project to do it.
6 -
There should be a buffer period where he can't see the cages. Like maybe 20 seconds or something. Then you can rush a cage save before he can get over there to camp, but if you wait too long he can still camp/tunnel the cage.
1 -
Lol hes worse than plague
0 -
Insta-saves are only if you happen to be on other side of the map when teammate is sent to it, otherwise it's a race. All but a couple of my matches PH was where the caged survivor had been only moments after they had been saved. PH tunnels because knows DS isn't an issue and injured survivor is easy down. Removing aura will lessen this - PH will know survivor is across map but won't know exact location. Can have notification sound when survivor is saved.
1 -
I don't think it's a good idea. It makes the uncaging and healing very, very safe.
0 -
So those killers predicted that'd there be braunless instant unhooks ir just happened to run into the uncaged survivor.
Both cases are preventable by playing smarter.
1 -
He isnt OP, you dont know how to play against him
1 -
Lol. Playing solo, on rank 4 on xbox. All the randoms getting tormented. BT, we`ll make it and kind of the we are gonna life forever are completely useless.
I can see, that the 100% abusing swf swats are getting a deserved debuff. But its just not worth taking BT or we`ll make it with me when playing solo, although it wasnt a abused perk, it was simply often enough anti tunnel or a good safe in the EGC.
Problem is, my perk gets deactivated because a stranger from around the world ######### up. The perks have gone from top tier to useless now, until i play in a swf. Or the killer isnt played in 100% of my matches.
4 -
Yeah, playing solo against PH is pretty miserable, he’s a big nerf to a lot of the perks that help you survive solo queue. I think I’m taking a long break from playing survivor.
4 -
The only change he needs is his chase music for the survivors PoV... its a real torment hearing this.
0 -
You do realise that PH won't work well with pretty much any of the meta perks on killer as well. I guess survivors are so used to second chance perks that when a killer counters it, they can't play.
3 -
Done.
13 -
That's pretty much the operating procedure from most Pyramid Heads I see. They cage someone, then race straight across the map to it in order to tunnel free and clear. Most of the time they get there before survivors can.
2 -
If a Survivor cant get to the opposite side of the map in the time someone who is Tormented is downed and sent there then you sat on your ass next to the Killer the whole time
0 -
Again a solo problem you wouldn't understand.
1 -
ah, that moment their crutch perks stop working.
9 -
They work against every other killer, almost got suckered in and bought pyramid head because no DS was very tempting but then I remembered: There's still alot of second chance cheese and he might also get nerfed.
1 -
Plague is incredible in the right hands.
4 -
PH gets no BBQ or PGTW from it too. My guess is that you always run hook related second chances like DS and BT. That's your problem yknow.
1 -
Being “worse than Plague” is nothing to be ashamed of because Plague is a super strong killer in the right hands. I don’t see how people don’t recognize that she’s able to snowball super easily with her corruption. She is just as good at snowballing as Oni is.
3 -
I'll take the trade off of BBQ and Pop if it negates all the second chance perks you have to fight through. Plenty of games I cage someone and turn around and see a surv trying to camp the hook and save the second I turn my back. Glad they fixed the mechanic for a change for at least one killer.
0 -
exactly that. I have been tired of swf. This killer is going to make a balance
1 -
Imao 😂😂😂😂
1 -
I like PH, also I didn't know you could bodyblock cages because I don't run to them. A surv in a cage hopefully means that another one is running for the save while I check out generators. That's what his healing perk is for I suppose, so when they're uncaged and a surv screams from healing so far away. I'll get accused of tunneling sometimes, but in my defense, that's because the surv I'm chasing runs straight to the aurv that was just unhooked, and why would I Not hit them again... Lol
0 -
I'm really enjoying the houdini build (Lithe, Quick and Quiet, Dance with Me, and Iron Will) against him. He wants to camp pallets and vaults. Bait out his power while dodging it, then fast vault over a pallet or through a window and disappear into thin air.
1 -
Gotta agree wityh ya. This killer seems built to get tons of value from playstyles that people hate such as camping and tunneling. I've yet to encounter an executioner who strays more than 24m from a hooked/caged survivor.
2 -
Abusing a mechanic isn't the same as mindlessly picking up a survivor while tunneling them off hook knowing there's an obsession then bitching about it on the forums.
1 -
Ugh, another of these posts.
1: Cages don't activate hook based perks. Good, It changes up the Meta and makes him a very interesting and fun killer. Because it's a two way street, when he cages someone the survivor can't use DS or Borrowed, but the killer can't use Pop or BBQ. Run different perks that won't be effected by hooks.
2: If PH is running too caged people once he cages them, don't go too the caged person. It's no different then if the killer is camping a hook, do gens and force his hand.
He doesn't need any nerfs, if anything his ranged attack needs a buff. It's so bad and it only works for mindgames at loops. If it was less predictable he'd be a truly great killer.
0 -
The only thing which is disgusting is the fact he can stand in front of the cage and block it. But it's power is totally fine. You survivors rely way too much on DS and BT. Learn to safely unhook instead of doing it in front of him
0 -
Every single PH I've played against has been a camper/tunneler. It's getting hard to rank past 5 now. Also, remember to crouch across his markings and they won't affect you.
1 -
I love it!! XD
1 -
My point exactly.
0 -
Yup same.
0 -
Holy sht just enough look he is balanced plus the people tunneling with him are just crap but at the same time those who aren't should not have to suffer these complaints looks he fine and need no nerfs I have wrecked r1 ph and r1 survivors so he is equally balanced enough already ok hes fine plus if he needs nerfing then let's address some things that also need nerf like remove meat tree and killer shack and also remove half the pallet loops on every map there seems fair yeah see I can ruin peoples enjoyment too so stop ruining everyone elses
1 -
You’re literally stupid. First of all you should check how to spell correctly, second of all, you say remove loops and remove meat tree and killer shack but have you forgotten that half the maps had their infinites removed? Also almost every map has massive dead zones since that nerf. Sorry, you just sound stupid.
0 -
Just leave him ok the poor guy has only had a day and already hes being judged himself I think hes perfect the way he is ok no nerfs because your to sht and need a ds a swf team and a brain dead loop up your as 24/7 because thats what a little pussy you are but at the same time no buffs because his range attack atleast needs to be dogable and fair if it's like huntress hatchets then jesus you will never miss
0 -
Yeah well dont be a whiny btch then ok and second your the ######### talking sht
