Unleashing the Ultimate Sonny: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Best Build Guide

When players are caught cheating in video games, they usually employ hacks that grant them the ability to locate opponents on the map. This cheating strategy would also undermine the gameplay experience in a game like Texas Chain Saw Massacre. However, Sonny possesses a unique build that closely emulates hacking the map.

Despite having remarkably high Strength and Endurance attributes, Sonny's special ability, Heightened Sense, enables him to maintain a safe distance from opponents in Texas Chain Saw Massacre. With a skilled group and the appropriate build, he can effectively ensure the safety of his team by keeping them away from harm.

Skill Tree

Sonny requires a specialized build tree to optimize his abilities. Initially, he may not be the most advantageous choice, but by obtaining specific perks from the skill tree, he can enhance his abilities.

To achieve this, Sonny should first proceed right twice and then left twice at the branching points. This not only allows him to acquire the necessary perks but also grants him a substantial 28 attribute points. Given his less-than-ideal default attributes, this extra gain will aid in refining his character.

Perks

Meter Reader

Radar Detector

Tae Kwon Door

When engaging in friendly matches, these three advantages reign supreme. The Meter Reader and Radar Detection abilities consistently reveal the whereabouts of all rival participants, enabling Sonny to constantly track opponents even when his own power is on cooldown.

Tae Kwon Door proves to be a game-changer for Sonny. With its exceptional ability to detect enemy locations accurately, Sonny can swiftly burst through closed doors, temporarily removing a family member from the game for a significant duration. This ample time allows Sonny to skillfully pick a lock or potentially make an escape, while the helpless family member can only watch from the sidelines.

Attributes

Proficiency: +25

Stealth: +3

Although Sonny possesses notable strengths in terms of both strength and endurance, it is advisable to refrain from allocating additional resources towards their improvement. Sonny's remarkably low toughness renders engaging in combat unwise, making the strength attribute largely redundant. Similarly, considering Sonny's default endurance level of 35, he is already capable of running extensive distances without succumbing to fatigue, thus diminishing the need for further investment in this area.

The main concern revolves around proficiency, as it enables Sonny to interact with objects efficiently. Sonny is the only individual who can ensure safety while interacting with objects, but it is crucial to minimize the amount of time spent on these interactions for this to be effective. The most ideal approach is for family members to patrol between doors, and if Sonny isn't fast enough, he may not even notice their arrival.

Ability Modifiers

Level 1: Shorter Cooldown

Level 2: Shorter Cooldown

Level 3: Quicker Recharge Rate

Sonny's ability becomes even more powerful when he is able to use it frequently. By reaching the first two levels in the Shorter Cooldown stack, the recharge rate is reduced by three full seconds. This means that Sonny's Heightened Senses are always in the process of recharging.

To further enhance the ability, aim for the level three modifier, Quicker Recharge Rate, which will increase the ability recharge rate by 100%. This combination allows Sonny to recharge his ability frequently and rapidly, ensuring that he can use it whenever he requires it.

Texas Chain Saw Massacre is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
