Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

    It's been more than fine so far.

    Not fantastic map pressure, but not bad.

    That anti loop ability alone makes him a very solid killer.

    Yet to face a great one, and yet to die against one after the first day.

    The longer hes out the easier it gets to avoid his line attack and even abuse it to extend the chase hugely for 1 missed attack, it's just like death slinger..a few of us saw he was mediocre from day 1 but nobody wanted to listen till they realized why we said that..already high rank survivors pretty much rarely get hit outside animation locks..could use either improved controls or a slightly better line attack

    Pros:

    • Pyramid Head can save a lot of time using his cages and Final Judgement.
    • By using the trails around a loop (especially at a pallet), he can force a difficult situation.
    • His ranged attack can pass through walls.
    • DS and BT? Never heard of them.

    Cons:

    • To save time Pyramid Head NEEDS to get Survivors tormented. Which can be really hard outside of a loop.
    • Punishment is heavily telegraphed and gives a giant warning sign to dodge. Granted, it requires very quick reactions, but still.
    • The cages are too easy to get Survivors out of if you don't play like a sweaty, campy tryhard. They're hardly ever worth it.
    • Pyramid Head has no real map control.

    I think Pyramid Head is a decent Killer, but the difficulty of playing him will probably push players away. I know if I wasn't trying to level every character in the game up, I would have given up after the first day. After playing him for a bit, he's definitely strong, but his powers are very situational.
