Not a Bug · Last Updated

Pyramid Heads cages do not activate any perks either for the Killer or the Survivor. They count as a "hook state" for the purpose of the hook rule that sacrifices Survivors.

    This isn't a bug, cages intentionally are not treated as hooks for the purposes of perks on either side.

    With the recent update, they did change it so that you get the basekit BT from cages now, but that's it.

    Then by that logic, I shouldn't have gotten a hook state. Plus basekit BT is useless. Had the killer hit me with his ability, I would have been on hook stage 2 already.

    Not trying to argue with you but I don't see how that logic, even if the devs never implemented it, is sound and fair.

    Plus, they don't go through the forums looking at everything posted. If it wasn't for the amount of bug reports on Last Stand or Blood Rush, or the fact that popular streamers made videos of them, then those perks wouldn't have been killswitched. And with the latest update, I've been going against the Executioner at least 1 every 5 matches. And yeah, this was the first time I noticed Dead Hard didn't activate. Probably because I don't always use it. But still, being caged should count if it counts as a hook stage.

    Its treated as a hook state, but neither roles can trigger perks off of cages. Thats their gimmick

    I get it. But now with it being easier to inflict torment and be caged, they should really look at how cages work because that's one perk that will be used less, especially for me.

    Executioner doesn't have a very high pickrate, and hes the only person who can inflict stages without giving perks. You should be fine to use dh still, even if theres better alternatives. Also its not any easier to get tormented than it was in the previous patch, all thats changed is his trail lifetime
