dowsey i'm really not all that into pronouns and stuff
but one thing i know is that pinhead is male not only based on his lore but also on the films, so why do you refer to him as "them"? anyways good vid, as a pin main i can really only agree with you!
edit: okay you switch between them and him, lol, i'm confused haha
Who has a desire to play the old dynamic version of DBD 1.9.3, type in YouTube there is a video for installation and is online in the game
To be honest I think right now the best way to use him, is if you have an engineers fang which allows you to injure survivors with your hook, and the pillar to make chain hunt happen faster, and then your set.
Good review, only compliant is that I want background game-play about some of what your explaining so I can feel more engaged with the vid. Also it'd be entertaining to watch you play
Caught several of these games. Amazing how in depth you are and astute. Thanks Dowsey!
Hey DOWSEY I have a pinhead build you should try. Hex undying, hex ruin, hex haunted grounds and deadlock.
I can’t be the only one triggered by “The Pinhead”! I love your content Dowsey but it’s “The Cenobite” or “Pinhead”! 😹
My main concern with him (other than the outright bugs) is that I can't see a justification for Pinhead counting as part of the "environment" for breaking chains. Either he should be able to walk through his own chains without penalty, or an Impaling Wire effect needs to be added to his base kit (*only* if the chain is broken by Pinhead moving through it).
Franklin's is fun on Pinhead cause you get a free box search if you find the one holding it. Plus, it disables items for ages if you play it right.
I tend to use pinhead like huntress and use my chain when a survivor is about to drop a pallet or vault. It's easy to get chains that way
Show gameplay while talking no one wants to just watch you talk for 10 minutes
There's 1 thing that nobody seems to mention or even realize for pinhead. It's simply using your power like a camera and checking on gens that are far away or on another floor without wasting time going there. And if there is someone there, you can waste time by chaining them, making it impossible for them to do the gen for a few seconds while you go over there.
Hes okay just wish i could actually swing at people
idk if im just a good killer but pin head is so fun and strong I shut loops down instantly in iridescent ranks the only time i loose if if I'm going against a swif
So basically, u use nurse power to go to a location and fire a deathslinger style chain that is controlled like a flying hillbilly. All of which has black screens between the actions requiring the user to reorient themselves several times and then you get to chase them again.
REMEMBER, during this entire time, you are standing in the same spot, gens are being done, and the survivor is running. If you miss, its a massive loss. If you hit, you almost gain nothing compared to the difficulty of the power.
No thankyou, ill keep shooting them at window as deathslinger for a hit. Just a gunshot, and im on mouse and keyboard.
Pinhead is my favorite horror film killer, his power is dogshit.
Early on at 3:20, the amount of effort vs reward is what you’re looking for, I genuinely like the pin head as a design, however his efficiency is much worse than other killers.
Chain breaks need to purely come from survivors holding m1. No environment or pinhead breaks
I am a low tier rank 1 killer with about 40 days played collectively on the game so about 600hrs during the start of sbb I broke my own pr win streak at 28 games won in a row. My previous was 17 with Myers. I personally think that even with all his bugs/issues with power he is incredibly strong and his utility with the right perks can be incredible. His power is refreshing and unique he can be incredibly powerful I guarantee it by the time all of the bugs and patches come into play he will be at least a top 5 killer. If you hook someone while a chain hunt is active you can legitimately snowball and absolutely clap teams, he’s a high risk high reward killer as base, with addons I’d compare him to a peak huntress.
I honestly just have a lot of trouble hitting people with his chains and even when they do get chained they just break free almost right away so it almost feels not worth it to even hit a possessed chain on survivor
No he isn’t lnao. Go play nemesis or the original dbd phead if you actually want to have a good character
Wait this isnt a otz video
I like The Pinhead
The problem is if they make pinhead too strong he becomes pay to win as he can only be purchased with money so if they make him on par with nurse and spirit there would most likely be huge outcry from the community
Changes to pinboy that should happen:
-Make it so pinguy cant break his own chains
-Make it so pindudes power is skill based, the farther his chain travels, the harder they are to break.
-Finally, make it so chains take like half a second to break from the environment and nerf impaling wire to compensate.
This would make his power more consistent, more skill based, and allows survivors to make plays against pinheads power more often, while also making that addon feel less oppressive and game changing.
Instead of using play thing I used death bound Scourge hook
Pretty sure the comments section here would have pinhead massively OP if they were in control of things. Playing survivor against pinhead is a true freakin nightmare – chain hunts are becoming the bane of my existence. Even if you 'win' as a survivor his passive is just so annoying and the whole experience is a drag.
Pinhead is male.
Using the portal to chain a survivor often feels like a waste of time since Pinhead has to stand still for the entire duration. I wish you could just skip the portal and shoot a chain straight out of Pinheads position by tapping the power button.
From my experience, pinhead is an amazing killer. I'm prestige 3 on him on Xbox so I've played a decent bit as him. I tend to have a lot of fun playing as him and I usually do pretty good with him. Obviously some games I'll get absolutely destroyed but that's alright lol. But he is definitely my favorite killer. The pressure he applies to open the box is awesome. The long ranged chain attacks are awesome. All of his animations are awesome. His chatter skin is super cool, it being a licensed skin of a different character and having its own "voice lines" is pretty revolutionary. Also Pinhead actually being able to talk in general is pretty cool because a good portion of the killers and survivors just make noises. Overall he's an amazing killed imo.
it would be cool if they made a killer that you couldnt three sixty, like their lunge attack is a spin attack or something. maybe it could be like an aoe blood explosion type thing.
