As a surprise for fans of the series, Dead by Daylight development company Behaviour Interactive has revealed that the next chapter of Dead by Daylightwill feature Pinhead from the hit horror seriesHellraiser. In the guide below, we cover everything there is to know about Pinhead, this chapter’s terrifying new Killer.
Special Abilities
Like all Killers in Dead by Daylight, Pinhead brings his own special brew of torture with his special abilities and perks. He has two special abilities:Summons of PainandLament Configuration, both of which are explained below.
Summons of Pain
This ability allows The Cenobite (Pinhead) to summon forth a chain from a gateway that he created. This is a possessed chain that the player can guide towards a Survivor to ensnare them. Once trapped, a Survivor’s speed is slowed, they receive the Incapacited status effect, and they cannot leave through the Exit Gates. Pinhead can summon additional chains to further slow the Survivor. The chains break if any solid object moves through them, including characters.
Lament Configuration
The Lament Configuration is an object on the map that helps Pinhead in pursuing Survivors. If it is left alone, the Lament Configuration initiates a Chain Hunt, which is when chains are summoned automatically to attack Survivors. If a Survivor picks up a Lament Configuration, they suffer from the Oblivious status effect, Chains will periodically attack them, and Pinhead will see them and be able to teleport to them. They must solve it to drop the device.
If The Cenobite picks up the Lament Configuration, a Chain Hunt starts, and all survivors will be attacked by chains and reveal their location when they scream.
