Pinhead's Summons of Pain brings forth a nasty chain that guides its way towards the Survivor, decreases their movement speed and enables them to leave through the exit gates. The Hex Perks work well together by basically dominating in map control and revealing the aura's of Survivors. Pinhead's Summons of Pain chain and the Hex's clutch assists in granting the Killers' with the locations of the Survivors, leads to a one-hitter-quitter Killer build situation.

    • After a generator is repaired, Deadlock blocks the generator with the most progress for 30 seconds. It's aura will glow white.
  • Hex: Haunted Ground (Spirit Perk)

My big bro is my Gaming Sensei & he's had me gaming since '92! My love for writing came shortly after that, so this gig is pretty dope! I'm a nut for any & all things that have been touched with a bit of 90's nostalgia and I'm a Certified Waifu for some good Anime^-^ The Witcher, COD, Halo, Assassin's Creed and Rick and Morty are just a few of my favorite things... Dragon Ball Z, too!
