Below is a list of the abilities and perks of Pinhead in Dead By Daylight, which you have at your disposal when playing as the twisted cenobite.
“You induce a mental suffering by crushing any hope of escape.”
Once a generator has been repaired by the players, ‘The Entity’ blocks the generator with the most progress for 20 seconds.
A white aura is visible around the generator during this period.
“You are the bringer of sweet pain.”
At the beginning of the round up to a maximum of 4 random hooks (though less is possible) become changed into scourge hooks.
The scourge hook auras are visible in white.
Any Survivor unhooked from a scourge hook suffers from the ‘Hemorrhage and Mangled’ status until they are fully healed. When a Survivor is first healed, they have a 7% penalty to repairing and healing actions until they are next injured.
“A hex that toys with a victim’s suffering.”
When you first hook a particular Survivor, they become Cursed. The survivor then suffers from the Oblivious status until the hex is cleansed.
Hex: Plaything activates on a Dull Totem. The totem aura is revealed to the Cursed Survivor within a range of 24 meters.
For 90 seconds, the only person who can cleanse the totem is the cursed Survivor themselves.
