Highlights
The family members in Texas Chain Saw Massacre have a significant advantage in chasing down victims and controlling escape routes.
Victims wearing headphones can easily avoid Leatherface, who is ironically the weakest of all the iconic characters. On the other hand, family members such as Hitchhiker and Cook possess exceptional abilities that allow them to efficiently lock down areas and locate victims.
In Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the merciless family members hold the advantage as they can quickly end most pursuits within minutes. Proficient in understanding the maps and layouts, they effectively restrict all escape routes while also making additional detours to hunt down their prey.
Certain family members further strengthen this advantage, demonstrating why they are formidable adversaries. However, other characters in Texas Chain Saw Massacre inadvertently relinquish this upper hand, enabling their victims to escape due to their lesser skills and abilities.
5 Leatherface
Savagery | 40 |
Blood Harvesting | 13 |
Endurance | 35 |
Ability: Maim
Regrettably, the game's most renowned character happens to be the least powerful. Not only is he ineffective at ensuring Grandpa's nourishment, but he only serves a purpose in pursuing victims. However, his slow pace and loud demeanor make it effortless for potential victims to evade him simply by wearing headphones.
His ability, Maim, is frequently utilized to forcibly enter doors, even though this process is time-consuming and fails to acknowledge the benefit of keeping victims confined. Opening doors generates noticeable noise, which is a significant disadvantage. To make matters worse, Leatherface is a mandatory character in every game, thus it is advisable to become accustomed to playing as him, just like any other regular family member.
4 Sissy
Savagery | 10 |
Blood Harvesting | 35 |
Endurance | 25 |
Ability: Bane
Sissy, similar to Leatherface, creates a commotion while running around. Although her melody is beautiful, it is only slightly less disruptive than the sound of Leatherface's chainsaw. Therefore, be prepared for potential victims to easily evade Sissy's pursuit. Bane empowers Sissy to contaminate items that victims come across, yet this strategy presents three significant problems.
Firstly, one of the game's weakest victims, Ana, is completely immune to poison. Secondly, most victims tend to acquire the necessary tools early on, rendering the act of poisoning multiple tools largely ineffective and a waste of time. Lastly, the poison inflicts damage on characters, but it rarely proves fatal, ultimately necessitating a face-to-face confrontation to administer the decisive blow.
3 Johnny
Savagery | 30 |
Blood Harvesting | 16 |
Endurance | 30 |
Ability: Hunt
Johnny's effectiveness reaches its peak when he is in close proximity to his targets. While engaging in a friendly game, it is advisable to assign Johnny a general area to operate within. Once he reaches that designated spot, Johnny can utilize his exceptional tracking skill, known as the Hunt ability, to locate his victims. Attempts to flee or conceal themselves are futile since Johnny possesses the ability to track their every move.
2 Hitchhiker
Savagery | 15 |
Blood Harvesting | 22 |
Endurance | 28 |
Ability: Trap
Hitchhiker emerges as an invaluable asset to the team once players master the layout of the map, owing to his exceptional Trap ability. By strategically laying traps in key areas, Hitchhiker can effectively control multiple sections through which victims are compelled to pass. Once the trap is triggered, he effortlessly eliminates any unfortunate target without encountering any resistance.
1 Cook
Savagery | 35 |
Blood Harvesting | 25 |
Endurance | 10 |
Ability: Seek
Cook possesses the best ability, known as Seek, among all the family members. This remarkable ability enables Cook to pinpoint the location of enemies from any part of the map. Although his Endurance is relatively low, it is not a major concern since he always manages to catch his victims off guard. Additionally, Cook's elevated level of Savagery ensures that he can swiftly defeat his opponents with just a few powerful strikes, eliminating the need for prolonged battles. Even if Cook finds himself injured, players utilizing his character can easily relay enemy locations to their teammates for effective teamwork.
The highly anticipated Texas Chain Saw Massacre is now accessible for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
