Pyramid Head: The Ultimate Scumbag
Why would they EVER make a killer that bypasses all hooking mechanics and perks.
Idk if y'all remember nurse bypassing walls and pallets, but she's still the strongest killer to date despite her being the first killer to ever be released after base game lol.
Pyramid heads all around are being extra scummy without a care in the world of any punishment for it. Easiest tunnels of their life. And why not. What's to stop them. Morals? Lmao.
I thought I hated deathslinger but holy frick dude... Bad DLC ontop of bad DLC, ontop of a mountain of bugs that won't be fixed. 🥴
EDIT taken from a comment by @kingovbattle :
"The way he is now removes everything that survivors have to buy extra time: Pallets-useless, Vaulting-useless, Flashlights (saves)-useless, Toolbox sabotage-useless.
The cages are also broken. They should be treated as hooks, otherwise it completely makes these perks useless: Decisive Strike, Borrowed Time, Well Make It, Aftercare, Babysitter, Breakdown, Camaraderie, Deliverance, Kindred, No One Left Behind, Off the Record, Second Wind, Slippery Meat, and We’re Going to Live Forever.
Also is you consider that you get sent straight to cage (and not picked up) it also eliminates The chance to wiggle free or flashlight saved (as stated earlier), but also the perks: Boil Over, Breakout, and Saboteur."
For everybody asking what perks he removes just with his cages. It isn't just DS or BT lol.

Awwwwww.... can't fall back on the classic Decisive Strike crutch anymore?
What a shame...

Doctor counters stealth and Plague counters healing. What's your point?
78 -
I don't use decisive.
6 -
I hope you don't see stealth and healing are as big as generic chasing and hooking mechanics lol. Stealth and healing are choices for gameplay. I don't stealth or care to be healed. I don't entirely have a choice about running from a killer or being hooked by one. That's the whole point of the game. My point is exactly what I posted. Maybe read it again if you're confused.
1 -
Yeah people will get tunneled for a bit until they learn that there is a an easy counter, do gens. Just like every other killer and this strategy is even better since he needs to travel all the way to the other side of the map which gives extra time to finish that last gen.
12 -
What a fun strategy though. Just rush to get the game done so maybe you can get a more fun, interactive killer next game.
17 -
You act like every game is against a scummy tunneler, they exist sure, i only see them 1 out of 10 games. And by the way today PH population already went down at least for me so yeah rush then try again.
28 -
Pyramid head is fine. I find it actually funny a lot of people get caged because it is general time consuming tonput down the trails during the chase. OR you are Just lucky as a killer that the survivor walks over Them. I dont really care a lot about the trails i Just place them when i am patrolling and if the survivor steps on Them i am also fine with it but i only use the cage on good circumstances.
Hell i run bbq and pop on my pyramid head it is obvious i dont use the cage often😂
8 -
Exactly, yeah this topic will get old pretty quickly once survivors realize that this strat is no really that broken and they will comeback to whin about the facecamping insidious bubbas that wont leave the basement.
4 -
You take away Borrowed Time and DS for literally 2 days and survivors are already going craaazyyyy.
38 -
Because you take away BT and DS for two days and killers go tunnel crazy lol. So, yes. Why do you think those perks ever became meta? Because that's how a majority of killers played. It became a necessity. ######### think my guy.
17 -
Yeah i tried to play killer but I'd lose people because they would literally run past me and I'd hear not a thing but see seemingly random scratch marks.
3 -
If you get tunneled and die there's literally only 2 options:
1. You can't tank for #########. If you're able to take aggro then either the killer lets you go or your team gets all gens done. Period.
2. Your team is bad. No way around it.
1 -
Hahaha yeap, they introduced literally the least optimal killer to tunnel with but no since it takes away bt and ds survivors get like "but i cant loop so i need my 55th chance perk to survive" .
9 -
It really isn't that hard to get people to walk through your stuff lol. Just place it through a pallet or in front of the window they wanna loop and GG. If they run somewhere else to avoid it it's not like you get a penalty like clown does when refilling bottles. It really isn't that hard or time consuming.
1 -
Or if I get tunneled it's because right after I get sent to the hook, he goes straight for my cage, and does his little ranged attack on me and my teammate. Then cages me again lol. Sorry I can't tank that very well. 🙄
1 -
There are a bunch of perks that revolve around unhooking or being hooked, not just BT and DS. You also lose the chance to wiggle free, hook sabotaging, body blocking, and flashlight saves. Hooks are a MAJOR part of a match, removing them wasn't very well thought out.
3 -
Perks from both sides are affected. If you're unable to use BT and DS, PH is unable to use Pop, BBQ, etc.
2 -
Exactly thats why smart players using PH will still use hooks for BBQ maybe even pop and will smartly know when to send survivors to the cage, the non hook works for both sides and only the top PH players will mix things up to get the upperhand.
3 -
Imma take the liberty of quoting myself cause you didn't even bother to read what I said. Nice one.
"2. Your team is bad"
Plus, you were already caught the first time so... You didn't tank too well did ya?
I wanna comment on a different argument you posted which is "it's not hard to make them fall into it, just put some on a tile they want to loop."
See just how close minded your arguments are? You can't think of ANYTHING to do to counter a killer than just loop loop loop, if you hear him putting his trails and run to a different tile you gain so much distance, but all this thread has just been you exposing yourself and why you can't adapt to different play styles.
3 -
Exactly. People act like killers don’t play like jerks now a days.
6 -
Nope, everyones knows that jerks exist, you just think that every killer is one.
9 -
That's what I mean with doing it while i am patrolling the gens, when i patrol i places trails on those places. But i dont waste my time DURING a chase. Like why waste time going for a second loop because you want the Guy to be tormented if you can end it the first loop. And then hook the person to get pop and BBQ. I only use cages on circumstances you want to slug as other killers, otherwise use the torment for the mini mori.
0 -
You say killers like every killer is playing PH. There's one killer than can counter DS and BT. He's far from op and countering DS isn't that big of a deal. Less and less people have been using it recently anyways. If BHVR doesn't release killers and perks that will shake up the meta the game will get old and stale. ######### think my guy
4 -
This. And the jerks are on both sides.
5 -
Its almost as if the Killer is playing like how a killer would be.
6 -
Why don't all hook perks apply to cages. If the cage takes away a hook state its basically a hook.
5 -
Thats the point of the cage, if makes it so every perk works then you would have and easy instant hook and also easy BBQ and easy Pop it would basically give extra advantages to the killer and i dont think survivors would be so cool with that.
0 -
How would BBQ and Pop give extra advantages?
2 -
If you don't use Ds then why are you complaining you can't use it
5 -
Exactly I run Deliverance in solos which is most of my issue cause I run an entire perk that can only be used once and that's totally denied lol. But BT is another big issue. I don't care for DS.
1 -
Honestly the only thing that really needs to be done to pyramid head is make it so he can't see the cages. This combined with the fact that it teleports halfway across the map would mean that caging people would be a time Saver but it also has its own risk and benefits
3 -
They wouldnt, the extra advantages are that you get instant BBQ after a down and not just BBQ, it can synergize very well with other perks too, Devour Hope for instance, Huntress lullaby, Make your choice. I personally wouldnt mind but as i said survivors will probably see as huge advantage. I can already see the post about it.
1 -
Yeah I can definitely see how hook perks could give advantages now.
1 -
"You got caught the first time" okay so am I meant to run a killer for 5 gens? I thought that was unbalanced?
PH doesn't have much of a downfall for placing his trail lol. I can dip just like any killer but if im on bloodlodge I can't just lose him. I can make distance, but again, with his constant upsides for his powers, there's no punishment for using it. He can be right behind me if I leave.
Pardon me for looping killers as a survivor lmao.
2 -
I am fine with the content that they've already got and had. What's ruining the game are all the bugs they won't fix but instead keep multiplying. If this is their way of changing the meta by just making a bunch of perks useless then I guess good job. Just remove em.
1 -
You keep missing the point, the perks arent the advantages, the instant factor is, you save the time to go to the hook, that plus having information from BBQ could easily prevent a gen from being done, and as we know this game is all about time. I will say it one more time i personally would love that a cage act as hook, PH would instantly jump to top tier. Imagine downing a survivor a knowing where to go next right away. Yeah that doesnt sound like an advantage at all.
0 -
I think it's a waste to do it any time out of chase because if you're not around, why wouldn't they just crouch over it? Why wouldn't you take an extra loop to get them tormented? If you get them tormented right before you down them then they go to cages and you can bypass every hook and unhook perk. BT, DS, deliverances, even Kobes. That's a lot of upsides lol.
0 -
I would be okay with that. Seems fair. Give me my deliverance and you can have BBQ and Pop. I honestly don't care. It's no different than now. Would just stop flashlight saves at that point.
0 -
Or even have a delay to him seeing where they spawn. Doesn't Plague have a brief pause after someone cleanses to see which pool it was? Or am I mistaken.
0 -
Nice that we can agree with something, but if you dont see how that would make PH stronger then i dont know what to tell you.
0 -
My post was not me complaining about not being able to us DS lol. Maybe read it again.
0 -
He still has the ability currently to hook them if he desires. So it wouldn't change him in that aspect really. Not enough to be that big of a deal.
0 -
Ok I read it again and legit the first line of the post is
"Why would they EVER make a killer that bypasses all hooking mechanics and perks"
0 -
Just beat him to the cage what's so hard about that?
0 -
Okay and? So the only hooking mechanic and perk is DS? Lmao. Should probably learn a bit more about DBD. 🤔
0 -
That's usually because shows plague where to get corrupt Purge pyramid head doesn't really need to go by the cage if you've manages to find it on his own that's fine but outside of that he doesn't need to to bull horn rush to the area

Cage tunnelers is a real thing. So I agree the mechanic needs to be changed.
You can kill a survivor in under a minute easily.

"Why would they EVER make a killer that bypasses all hooking mechanics and perks"
You put an s at the end of perk meaning your talking about multiple perks but now all of a sudden DS isn't one of those multiple hook perks your talking about?
Please tell me which multiple hook perks you were talking about
