Its a bit dated, but this is still one of the best guides to get you started with Pyramid Head.
His best perk, by far, is I am all Ears. Combo this with Lethal Pursuer and you already got half a build. Lethal lets you get into the thick of it right from the get go, and I am all Ears is THE essential Pyramid Head perk that allows you to anticipate survivor movement through walls and LOS blockers. It won't always translate into hits, but it really helps you a lot to get a feel for survivors movement. Eventually you will learn how to anticipate panic moves in a straight line and get some sick skill shots at shack or through jungle gym walls, but till then, I am all Ears will get you covored.
Basically all close range aura reading perks are golden, for a while I used Monitor&Abuse in combo with Nurses Calling and got fun pot shots at healing survivors who thought that I was still miles away. Awakened Awareness is also very good on Pyramid Head. Yeah, you need to down a survivor first, but then while hooking, you will very often see someone hiding nearby and get a free hit against a sitting duck.
Same goes for Nowhere to Hide, but survivors are kinda expecting it at this point, so the value of AA is that you didn't kick a gen prior and the survivor might be at ease in their hiding spot.
Add-ons wise there isn't much to say: the double range add-ons are his best ones, and frankly the only ones worth playing. Everything else is "nice to have, I guess", but rarely will dictate how you play. The +20s Trails sound okayish on paper, but in praxis will do nothing of worth 90% of the time. His iri-add-ons are some of the worth iris in the entire game and the increased killer instinct duration ones are barely noticable at the best at times. The two purple books are niche and fun to use every now and then, but too inconsistent in their effect. But Pyramid Heads base kit is so strong that he can do with just range add-ons.
His own perks are rather meh for the most part. Forced Penance was fun in the past, but nowadays with MFT and the "stay injured"-meta, most survivors couldn't care less for 80s of unbroken. Trail of Torment can be fun to build around and can lead to a lot of unexpected jump scare hits, but even after its buff it can countered within 2 frames of a survivors attention, while you are hit with a 60s cool down, and that I find very frustrating. Lastly, Deathbound is one of the worst info perk in the game. Its effect would be fun if you could also see the aura of the survivors for some significant time and thuss hunt them down while they are oblivious, but as it stands, its very lackluster and niche.
Pyramid Head is rather hard to master and in the beginning you will miss A LOT of skill shots and find his ability very frustrating, but once it clicks and you get a feel for it, you can be a real menance. Oh and one easy tactic: when a survivor is running straight at a pallet, just lower your sword, 99% of the time you won't get a hit, so don't shoot, but also 99% of the time that survivor won't drop that pallet for fear of getting hit while in animation lock. All animation locked actions are your friend, btw, so its sometimes advisable to not kick unsafe pallets, as they can turn into quite the death traps for the survivors.
My 2 year old Pyramid Head guide still being mentioned brings me great joy.

I mean dbd does change every 3 weeks you either have the release of a new chapter / midchapter or the ptb for an upcoming one. Id like more changes too but its just not gonna happen
consider that id like more than 2 perk changes, one of which wasn't even a perk rework. we've got "new content" in the midchapter in the form of an event that got boring after the 3rd sweatfest, and yet another rift. great.
its just so engaging isnt it

Like it or not the game is mostly a casual playerbase constant fast changes would probably not be appreciated by the casual side of the player base
idk when i play games casually (a la paladins and dbd) constant small tweaks makes the game a lot more enjoyable and refreshing than coming back after like a 3 week break because i was busy and everything is identical

@bjorksnas said:
Even if they could sometimes seemingly small changes have big impacts remember when they increased boil over from 75% to 100% and it was hell on console players. Sure small numbers changes works fine on a lot of simple perks but small changes have big impacts
so then revert the changes in the next hotfix or disable some really broken things. give us some more pizazz than tiny number changes every 3 months

Do you think the servers they use are having a hard time with the additional players for the event?
The event peak players (on steam) is roughly 60k so far, 4k more than a random day in August and 27k less than anniversary. If BHVR managed to undercut those numbers somehow for their biggest event of the year...
No, actually, I won't even be surprised. I've become so apathetic towards these things atp I'll probably just shrug and move on

It’s licensed so probably just going to be auric cells but it’s kinda a tricky one because bhvr does own it so maybe shards
I can honestly see them being able to take a Crypt TV approach and making it available for shards too.

So since the puddles are so small and have almost no effect, they're virtually useless then. So then what about the Clown?
Clown is able to slow a survivor down, including their acceleration, making it substantially harder to fast vault and instead will medium vault in many situations where a fast vault is other possible.

I kind of wished they made this optional, though I know I'm in the minority. The chapters may have increased in price with the inclusion of a cosmetic, but if buying separately it'll now cost more - 1080 auric cells/$15AU for the cosmetic alone. It'd be nice if they had the chapter alone for sale, as well as the chapter with a cosmetic for the few bucks extra.
I'm in this camp. I prefer getting the cheaper DLCs without outfits but I know some people preferred the slightly more expensive ones with the outfits included, so having the choice would be the best of both worlds.

Honestly, i don´t get the idea behind twitch drops. You get a skin if you "watch" instead of playing yourself.
Do people really watch twitch for several hours? Or are they only muting the channel and setting it to 160p while they play?
Even better, I normally set it to watch right as I'm leaving to go do something, mute my speakers and just dip

Also something else they announced at the start of the stream, chapter packs are going away. So future DLCs are going back to the old format. Pleasantly surprised by this.
That's in there, don't worry.

I'd argue that having low floor high ceiling killers (wesker) as well as high floor astronomical ceiling killers (meatball Larry) both help to compliment each other in terms of design and if every killer was piss easy to pick up while also being strong enough to reliably and consistently 4k the game would be very boring indeed.

From September 15th to September 26th (11 days), I managed to progress 48 tiers, while working at least half of those days, preparing to return to Uni, and playing other games. I'd argue that it realistically isn't that grindy (anymore), especially since they increased the Fragments gained via challenges, completing Tome levels, and decreased XP needed per Fragment from 800 to 500.
I wouldn't complain if they made it even easier, but they have to have some challenge there, or else people will easily reach Tier 85 and stop playing until the next major content drop. Plus, I'd argue there's certainly better things to prioritise resources into right now, such as the long-awaited reworks to Twins, Myers, and Freddy; map rebalancing; perk changes; and serious add-on changes. Every change has an opportunity cost, where the resources to make that change could've been better spent elsewhere, and I'd much rather they focus on making those changes instead.
-
I feel like it's a bit of both, really. EMPs are too strong and Overclock, while good, could use some minor QOL changes to make it feel more worthwhile to use your power. But I could easily be wrong, so I'd rather BHVR take it slow and simply nerf EMPs to start with (they can no longer fully self print), then follow it up by buffing Overclock if it isn't enough.

To mourn the loss of the German DBD accounts (DACH) on Twitter and Instagram (from Friday 17:00 CET), use code "DANKE" for 200k bloodpoints.
Honestly will be missed, the social media manager(s) for these accounts were always on it with retweeting fanart and content and gave out so many free DLCs.
Funnily enough, this also lines up with DBD Mobile being removed from Austrian stores this morning due to lootboxes.

Oh, apparently the Korean account is going too. Code "GAMSAHABNIDA" for another 200k.

That would cost BHVR a reasonably good amount of time and resources to implement a free progression reward tiers into the game just for players to complain from their Entitlement Chair that the rewards for their "hard work" aren't good enough.
Consider that this probably should've been done before the Prestige Overhaul was implemented

I agree limited time available cosmetics are bad and predatory.
i don’t see why people think that justifies other FOMO mechanics.
P100 might not be so unusual or rare and is achievable, but it is a heavy time investment and while I am for example playing already way too much i don’t have a character close to p100 at all and I don’t see it as something needing a special reward other than having the P100 icon and possibly something for the upcoming playercards.
otherwise instead bring more rewards for p10-p20 which is at least achievable for many. Stuff like blood overlay for other than default outfits, maybe other overlays as well
Just have a special reward for every 10 prestiges. Even if it's just some bonus BP or Iridescent Shards, an "Iridescent" charm at P30 60 and 90 which is a glimmering shiny charm of a perk, or something.
