This chapter is nearly perfect for me

The look, the voice lines, the mori and even the power are all amazing and fit pinhead. By far the best done liscene yet I still feel his power becomes weak due to insta break on the environment and you.

The fact it can be instantly destroyed by a wall makes it worse than clown and then you destroy the hooks pursuing the survivor just adds extra salt.

Few tweaks and I think it's a perfect chapter, hows everyone else feel?

    From the very first look he seems kinda weak but otherwise its tons of fun for both sides.

    Hoping for some tweaks.

    Well having a close look it's due to how easily the hooks break on the environment and pinhead himself. Tweaks to that and he could be pretty deadly at most loops. But appearance wise etc best chapter so far

    Yeah i think nerfing the fang addon a bit and increasing how hard it is to break the chains will push him into a perfect realm for me

    Pinheads power definitely needs some tweaks but overall it’s a really cool concept and the animations and all about the character is great and fits well

    I feel that the animation for the mori needs a little something more. I am not sure what, maybe the survivor needs to struggle against the chains a little more? It just feels a little too fast.

    I only played against him (not gonna go in the Queue for 30 minutes to play with a Level 1-Killer), and for me, he is very boring to play against. Not the same like Spirit or Deathslinger, he just seems lacking. I dont know how exactly to describe it, but I have 0 enjoyment when playing against him.

    Maybe it is more fun playing him, but I will wait on this one until he is at the Live Servers. His power seems alright out of the Killer perspective and he is pretty creative. But overall, not my chapter this time.

    The tons of bugs too?

    He's gonna be abused. Even if the cube is a good idea, I just think its gonna be abused by competent survivors that will use this tool to relocate the killer.

    Feels weak to me.

    This chapter is a big dissapointment to be honest. Its so lack luster with very little effort. where's a new survivor, perk reworks, new map, map reworks? meh.

    I agree. VERY close to the source material in terms of Aesthetic, Voiceover, Powers and Lore.

    I actually quite enjoyed both playing as and against him. The thing I like about him too is that he doesn't feel like a cookie-cutter character. There are lots of things happening while one survivor is being chased. Something that I personally believe is a problem with other killers.

    Even though I don't know much about him, seeing him in DBD peeked my interest into researching him. I can definitely say someone did their homework and it gives me hope that more killers will be introduced with unique mechanics like he was.

    This is my favorite horror franchise ever, and they did justice to Pinhead. His animations, effects, and all the extras in there are superbly done. I've only watched some gameplay so far, I'll wait to play him when he goes live, but he is fantastic as far as the looks and animations go. 100% very good job so far BHVR.

    His power, give it a couple months of live play. I think he can be oppressive if he can put some pressure on the Survivors and keep them moving. There's a lot of potential for reducing chase time in his kit. It will most likely be tweaked before it goes live, but the only thing I could see that hurts him is how easy it is to break the chains. Everything else looked solid, and quite appropriate to his character.

    Overall... though it pains me to admit it... nice one BHVR. Already sold on it, just fix those bugs even if they're pretty amusing.
