Unveiling the Ultimate Build for Hitchhikers in Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Players should consider experimenting with the various characters in Texas Chain Saw Massacre before attempting to use Hitchhiker. In order to utilize his ability, Trap, effectively, players must have knowledge of the main entrances and exits. Since his Savagery attribute is quite low, players will need to rely on strategic trap placements in order to maximize his potential.

The great news is that the rewards for using Hitchhiker can be substantial. Players can place traps early on and then focus on taking care of generators, feeding Grandpa, and providing support to the attacking family members. Those who are skilled in Texas Chain Saw Massacre highly appreciate the advantages that Hitchhiker brings to the team with the right strategy.

Skill Tree

Start by heading straight at the first branch of the skill tree, then take three consecutive right turns. This strategy will enable Hitchhiker to acquire two out of the three necessary perks for optimal success. To obtain the third perk, Dinner Bell, locate it within a random skill node. If players complete the skill tree without obtaining Dinner Bell, they can reset their skills at no cost and attempt again until they acquire this perk.

Aside from the perks, following this route will make Hitchhiker a valuable member of the family, as it will grant him 32 attribute points. This path allows him to effectively utilize his unique strengths, and it will help teammates understand his role within the family.

Perks

Dinner Bell

Tracker Tagged

Blood Banker

Grandpa Ability - Always In Sync

The Dinner Bell ability is specifically designed for the Hitchhiker, allowing him to easily locate and chase down victims while also gaining a burst of stamina. Although his attacks may not cause significant damage, the Hitchhiker can still eliminate formidable targets while they are trapped.

As the Hitchhiker's attacks may not always be powerful, the Tracker Tagged ability ensures that his allies are informed by highlighting any individual he targets. This synergizes perfectly with the optimal Leatherface build or another family member who can inflict substantial damage to a vulnerable opponent.

Attributes

Endurance: +22

Blood Harvesting: +10

There is no point in enhancing Savagery to make Hitchiker's melee attacks more significant, so it's preferable to leave that attribute as it is. Prioritizing the increase in Endurance is a wise initial move since Hitchiker will need to constantly move between traps and feeding Grandpa.

Furthermore, Blood Harvesting is highly beneficial for Hitchiker. It not only provides more blood for feeding Grandpa, but also grants additional blood when attacking victims. Even if Hitchhiker's attacks do not result in the target's death, he will still have enough blood from the encounter to assist the team and complete the task.

Ability Modifiers

Level 1: Increase Escape Difficulty

Level 2: Increase Escape Difficulty

Level 3: Audible Disturbance for All Family Members

The initial two levels, aimed at intensifying the challenge of escape, effectively restrict the movement of the victims until the Hitchhiker can intervene. When trapped, a victim becomes incredibly vulnerable and easily susceptible to being eliminated, irrespective of the strength or capability of their family members.

That's why All Family See Noise is ideal for playing with friends or strangers. When a trap is triggered, not only will Hitchhiker be alerted, but everyone else will be too. Although Hitchhiker may not deal massive damage, the rest of the family can swiftly take out anyone ensnared in Hitchhiker's traps.

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