  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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).

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.
