Cooking Conundrum: Unleashing the Best Build for Texas Chain Saw Massacre

Players looking to take on the role of the villain in Texas Chain Saw Massacre may initially underestimate Cook. His slender physique and damaged broomstick handle might elicit laughter from others. However, when it comes to the pursuit and brutal assault of victims, Cook outperforms everyone else.

By making strategic build choices, Cook can deliver powerful blows akin to Leatherface. What's more, Cook possesses the advantage of being less noisy compared to Leatherface and possesses the ability to track enemies across vast distances on the map. For those who wish to meticulously track down every victim in Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Cook is an essential member of the team.

Skill Tree

Cook possesses unique advantages that make him the most formidable character in the game. Fortunately, he does not rely on chance encounters to obtain these advantages. By skillfully navigating the path, consisting of two right turns, followed by a left turn, and finally choosing either direction at the last crossroads, Cook acquires all three perks.

Additionally, this path grants an impressive total of 33 attribute points to allocate. This ensures that adversaries cannot withstand more than a few of Cook's strikes and face an exceedingly challenging task of escaping his clutches. Opting for the right route on the skill tree solidifies his status as one of the most outstanding family members.

Perks

Vial-ent

Big Swings

Prey Dive

Grandpa Ability: Brutew Strength

Vial-ent and Big Swings are damage boosts. Using Big Swings depletes stamina per swing, but it's worthwhile to maximize the number of swings. After collecting blood, employ Cook's Seek ability to target victims that are exposed, dealing additional damage. If no victims are found, proceed to feed Grandpa.

Prey Dive sets Cook apart from Leatherface, elevating him to a superior position. When Cook identifies a victim, his stamina generation increases, enabling him to cover more ground while running. Being slender enough to squeeze through narrow openings, he can unexpectedly pursue adversaries that other members of the family cannot.

Attributes

Savagery: +15

Endurance: +18

To effectively eliminate the most valuable targets at once, players should prioritize maximizing Cook's Savagery attribute. This attribute quantifies the overall damage inflicted and, when fully upgraded, will grant Cook the same level of damage as any other character in the game.

As for Cook's Blood Harvesting attribute, it is already satisfactory and will sufficiently satisfy Grandpa's needs. Therefore, players should allocate the remaining attribute points towards enhancing Endurance. This will enable Cook to relentlessly pursue victims and engage in more frequent attacks. Additionally, with his Seek ability, increased Endurance will allow Cook to swiftly approach the location of a sound made by a victim.

Ability Modifiers

Level 1: Quicker Recharge Rate

Level 2: Quicker Recharge Rate

Level 3: Enhance Highlight Duration

The objective of Cook's ability is to reach a point where he can swiftly locate the noise before it escapes. By investing in two levels of Quicker Recharge Rate, Cook gains the ability to utilize this skill more frequently, enabling him to consistently monitor his surroundings.

The Highlight Duration at level three is a significant enhancement. This is especially beneficial when dealing with mobile victims who tend to move quickly. When playing alongside friends, Cook's remarkable ability to detect sounds and promptly reach the victim's whereabouts, while effortlessly keeping track of their escape attempts, is sure to leave teammates impressed.
