Pinhead and the box. One of the most aggravating things in the game.
Teammate being chased runs past the box. Pinhead sees it and pauses to do it initiating the chain hunt. I immediately run to the new box while the chain hunt is going. However, I cannot do the GD box because the chain hunt begun by the box being completed by Pinhead is preventing me from doing the box. No matter where i move, how many times I break chains and go to a new spot, the chain hunt keeps stopping me from doing the box. The killer has time to down the teammate, hook him and eventually teleports to me because I can’t do the GD box. How stupid is this? After a night of tunnelling, god awful matchmaking and nurse slaughters, this was the last straw. Thanks for the fun devs.

I really think if you start solving the box, any chains that are directed at you are destroyed. Then also make it so if you start solving the box you have to complete it unless interrupted by Pinhead. That way it can't be abused so you just solve a little bit to keep the chains off you and it doesn't make you want to rage quit over something basically luck based.

The chains spawns in groups of three so if you dodge the three you should have enough time to solve the box.

Chains happen in waves
3 chains per wave, dodge 3 and then you have time to do the box
Bhvr should really make a tooltip for that. People are used being told what to do instead of figuring it out

I swear that the waves either reset or just don't end sometimes.
Either way, it's dumb that it isn't explained anywhere.

If PH is using increased solve time addons you won't have enough time to solve the cube between chain waves. They really just need to make it so chains don't interrupt you from solving, but make it so PH hitting you with his power does.

Yeah.
Especially seeing how you won't face pinhead multiple times in a row usually so figuring this stuff out on your own is hard

From what I understand dodging a chain spawns a new one? Maybe that's only if u break it on the environment I don't remember

He’s my least favorite killer to go against. I’d rather go against Wraith and Legion, and I hate those two a lot.

So i don't know 100% how it exactly works but bassicaly it wilp attempt to spawn 3 chains in short succession followed by a moment where no chains spawn
Any chain that break of the enviroment spawns another chain so you want to avoid that
If you dodge the 3 chains you should have enough time to solve the box. If you get hit by the third one you most likely won't have time and you should prepare to dodge the next wave
I hope it helps, i don't see many pinheads so i don't really have it down to a science or anything

Outside of PH finding the box himself, you can do the box before the chain hunt starts to side step the whole getting chained while solving issue
What I try to do is at the start, I will do 1 of 2 things:
1) I assume the PH has lethal and as such will fake running toward where the 'box' is so he the killer might think I'm headed straight for it
2) Alternatively, If I see him close to where the box is - I try to take his attention/aggro

Good morning and thanks for the thoughts. Those chains usually do spawn in threes. But for some reason last night after I broke the last and tried to solve they came back before I could get going again. I broke them and moved into nearby nooks to start over and it just kept happening. I completely agree with the post that the chains should not spawn on the person doing the box. It’s unnecessary. Have a good one all…

Another killer that crushes solo queue players but is weak against SWF's. Totally a good and fun design to verse.

You are wrong. Base duration is 6. With both addons, it’s 9 (+2 and +1). After 3 waves of chains, there’s a break for 12 seconds.
