    There annoying yes. But he's fun to play as. He's just as annoying as clown movement bein restricted is very annoying.

    If your main concern is the game crashing then you should post this in the bug reporting thread. If your concerns are the chains then the best work around is making distance, and watching for when he uses it. It's not hard to move left or right and dodge them, on top of that, you can use the environment to break chains even faster.

    Also if this isnt about the chains the killer controls and the chain hunts try to find the lament configuration it'll help the chains go away

    I had my first match against him today (I didn't mess with the PTB this time). I enjoyed facing him. I liked the sound work on the chains and felt that there was a satisfying, tangible sensation to being snatched by them as well as breaking them. They DO come a bit too rapidly - I had to break free of like three of them just to open a single chest - but they add to the tension and help to make the character unique (as well as true to his style). I might get sick of him eventually, yes, but I like the design and enjoyed my first match with him (which we won).

    Playing against Pinhead isn't like playing against any other killer. If people are already ragequitting against him then they're petulant babies.

    He reminds me of Clown. Super spammy power that doesn't really do nothing. Not even mentioning the box thing is super anti-solo queue.

    With your entire team disconnecting then yeah your pretty much screwed unless you find the hatch. As far as the chain hunt you need to solve the cube, but it's pretty pointless to solve it if you have no teammates to distract him. Could be just a one-off.

    Really annoying, especially if your team ignores the box for the entire game. I still do like playing against him, idk about playing as him though. For the last two killers, I never really tried to play them because their playstyle doesn't interest me.

    The chains are only annoying when the survivors allow the chain hunt to harass them. Knowing when to solve the box is helpful - if Pinhead is in chase, get to a safe looping tile and solve the box in case he teleports or solve it when he picks up a survivor to hook them. I see one too many survivors solving the box out in the open or in a non safe area. I don't know if survivors aren't thinking about if he teleports... they just solve le cube.

    I've also used the cube to lure Pinhead to me from a survivor on death hook that he's chasing if I can spare another hook. Ya gotta be smart with le cube to wield it.

    Sometimes you get so caught up multitasking in a match, and you forget about the box. Once a chain hunt is activated, does any one have advice on how to solve without being interrupted by the chains? I think it’s stupid that the progress resets every time, since a chain grabs you every two seconds and you can’t solve and dodge. Very frustrating.

    i was trying to get too the box every time i did the light disappeared but it was my first match so maybe i need more experience no idea where the box is meant to be i couldnt hear any noise to suggest it was near by so ive no clue .... yeah the chains grabbing me every 2 seconds without the box was annoying so i cant imagine how it was trying to solve the puzzle lol

    I think he's fine overall. He just feels like another flavor of the same killers we've been getting. Anti-chase with an extra gameplay mechanic. Doesn't add anything too interesting to gameplay because of that, but he's not terrible or anything.
