Question for Killer Mains - PinHead Chapter

Do you guys think PinHead will be a hard killer to learn or go up against? Watching the ptb on twitch and youtube and he looks kinda difficult to play as his main power looks like his chains. Curious to know how it will be playing him and going against him as a survivor

    I think on ptb he was bad. Very hard with low reward. I hope he has changes when he releases.

    He looks bad but his perks look good. It takes a ton of time to go into the power, launch the glyph, chain someone, and then actually walk over to them. And it barely looked like the chains even really slow them? Most survivors were not slowed down by the chains enough for me to think it’s actually a good chase power. And god forbid if you miss because then the chase is just over entirely.

    Clown nails someone with a bottle and it slows even more, doesn’t slow him or make him lose distance.

    I guess he has some tiny built in slowdown but I’ve already seen videos of people just holding the box all game no problem.

    He can use the power for scouting but then again who really cares? It doesn’t matter if you know the locations of survivors you can’t down them quickly.

    Seemed high skill/low reward on PTB. Hopefully they make some sensible changes to him. Not sure how they saw the issue with the Twins and Victor being held hostage and then put Pinhead on PTB with survivors able to hold the Lament Configuration to completely deny the chain hunt. Kind of a ridiculous oversight that they hopefully correct before he goes live.

    Nah, not at all. He reminds me of old mini games from Rayman 2 & 3. Rocket Glove. I really love the way we have to aim chains.

    Hard in DbD, just means complicated to play. Its rather simple in my opinion, but you need to get very good at possessed chain hitting.

    Perks are great too and Im very interested in the future of Scourge Hook Perks.

    But you also need to keep in mind that BHVR has taken up the idea to release a killer as strong as they have to be, and then buff up as they observe. So you need to wait a long time to see the real final form of Pinhead.

    It doesn't matter. I just came back from the future and already saw the "PINHEAD OP PLS NERF" posts

    I think that if they would make you open the portal and chain go directly to the survivor like chain hunt does it could be bery good but right now is low reward/high skill.
