You don’t really have to camp the hook, just get to it before the team does. Ideally you are finding it just a few seconds before they do so you move the cage as far from them as possible, and now they have you to deal with. It can be useful-specifically on maps like Midwich and RPD, since there isn’t a direct route across the map.
Caged Survivors will always spawn the furthest away from the Executioner. So both sides can guess where it will spawn depending on where the Survivor was downed and caged.
@@Seymour927 still helpful quite often. Also, his power can go down steps but never up. You can crouch through his trail. If you step in his trail he gets killer instinct for a bit.
Survivors don't need to guess. They see where they go. Which makes no sense because it's Pyramidhead's special hook power and acts like a hook, but all it does is screw him over if only survivors see the aura cuz the game is just blatantly survivor sided. Never bother with cages. Keep them tormented by hooking them and then do the quick Mori when they're on death hook.
I mean it's plenty survivor sided enough that you can see the cage aura and PH can't, the fact that his own power can just gimp him from strategy. He has to guess where it is. You don't. Just be faster and save asap.
Its about 8 meters iirc, its just far enough that you can bypass all hook perks and endurance and camp it for a few second if someone is gonna uncage un your face
Pyramid head main here you can also be really mean and camp the cage if it's in a corner as long as your far enough away it won't move , making it easy to proxy camp and get double hits at cages another useful tip is that you can fire down virtually any vertical surface as long as your at the top of said surface , not on it ' on TOP if it ALSO you can hit surviors on an elevated surface if the spikes that come from the punishment of the damnned are tall enough to reach them for example the house of pain on badham .
@Justsomedude111 lethal , dead lock , discordance and the final perk depending how you play could be either I'm all ears , nurses calling , stbfl or corrupt if you really wanna be sure early game goes well
it's actually better to cage first, as they don't gain any protection from being removed from a cage and you can get someone to death hook very quickly without worrying about otr, DS or anything else that triggers like deli
but that applies for second hook too. It's probably better to cage 2nd if you are tunneling since death hook is so easy to get once they get saved from 2nd stage cage.
@@shnitzel9052I'm a crazy good PH main, and I can confirm that it's better to cage first hook. Trail placement is important to get as many tormented survivors as possible, and just denying perks like we'll make it, otr, dead hard, deliverance, resurgence, etc. is just way too important for PHs pressure. Always cage, it's never worse than hooking(unless you're running pain res or pop, for some reason).
I’ve been playing this game since Myers was added and even following every killer I still didn’t know about the cage teleport really useful info thanks
Been playing dbd for a few months now with phead as my main & That shit happened to me last night I was pissed. I never find the cages, though I never look for them because theres no aura so i didnt bother. I had no Idea about the mechanic at all.
- always leave a trail if a survivor is looping you - try to anticipate when a survivor vaults a window or pallet and use the ranged attack for free hits - aura-reading perks work especially well on pyramid head since you can attack through walls
Soooo about the first part: kind of It is sometimes better to hook first and then cage because if you know where the cage will be, then it’s a free tunnel (which is unfortunately the trade off of bot having as much value from most regression perks). He’s unironically only B-A tier solely because he is very good at tunneling and that’s it Something people don’t know is Pyramid Head’s PoTD sometimes has a faster animation. No Pyramid Head main so far knows what causes it, but it happens. He also has a flick tied to DPI which can cause you to 180°+ flick…unfortunately his power is pretty slow, the actual damage hitboxes are kind of slow, he suffers a massive slowdown when charging the power, and the range isn’t fantastic. You’re better off faking the ranged attacks most of the time
that cage thing sounds really useful update: i got pyramid head and 90% of the time the survivors get to the cage before me because it sends them on the other side of the map instantly after using it update 2: ive almost completely stopped using cages unless they got downed under a pallet and i know they have power struggle or a teammate nearby or their team has flashlights. players would rather get hit or go down than get infected, so i almost never get anyone with it
Idk the first one I would keep them tormented until 3 hook if possible. Great for snow balling with the final. It is op is everyone is tormented and in a three gen. Never run out of hooks
Executioner has an addon which applys bleeding on torment status, so if you torment someone he is just sloppy butchered for the rest of the game if you dont cage often. Easy interrupt healing and make them lose progress and waste time
@@04Y only your culture and religion here is trash, aHmad. Double range is overrated, survs have too much time to dodge because the longer the shot the slowest it is. Oblivious addon and iri for undetected from trails are same good as this addon for bleeding effect
I think what they should do. Is make it to where if the killer is within 8 meters from a hook for more than 6 seconds. The timer on the hook stops COMPLETELY, and only resumes once the killer steps away from the hook, from at least 10 meters, for more than 5 seconds
@@ninjakilzombie3442 Yes, I completely agree! I'm shocked that this isn't a think yet because dbd has a big camping problem and it would make the game so much better.
@@ninjakilzombie3442 let’s be honest. Stop rubbing straight to unhook before the killer can leave. Don’t farm then whine. It should be progressive depending in how close, how long, and how often they’re camping. Don’t forget that toxic teams bring it upon themselves. I have 1700 escapes and 1400 kills.
First one is wrong, being rescued from a cage removes tormented. In my opinion you should do cage first, then hook, giving it time for tormented again towards the end
Honestly it should be like the dc penalty. Worse the more they do it. The longer, more often they do it the slower the hook timer. It’s running the game. And I have 1400 kills
The way i play around it is to avoid flashlight saves or time wasting. If i down someone tormented and i know i have time to hook i'll hook so next time if i'm in a hurry to protect a gen i just cage them and move on
@@scorpx3790 Oh okay. I can get the idea, but I don't think it's very optimal. Better save time now rather than later, especially if you manage to torment the same survivor again. The only time I don't cage (and that should have been tip #4) is when gens are done, because the cage could spawn close to the exit gates.
@@victorjozek5384 sure but if you have multiplr survivors tormented you just gave a free cleanse. Unless you remember the hook stages and the only other tormented is on death hook so you could "fish" him out... i don't see why not keeping the tormented till when hooking isn't convenient. Tbh tho i'm not a PH main but i like using him so i don't knoe the most optimal ways of using his cages
@@scorpx3790 I guess it depends on the playstyle. I usually torment survivors when I chase them so I always just get one torment at a time. But now that I think of it, if I ever get a tormented survivor down right next to a hook, I would indeed use the hook and not waste the cage.
I thought if ur in a cage and pyramid head finds u he could insta kill u I never seen it happen but I remember when I first started someone told me that
I don't see the point in waiting to cage someone unless you're hooking in a strategically advantageous spot or to get value from some hook related perk. It always saves time to cage, prevents saves, denies hook perks making it easy to tunnel someone out, and the survivor can always get tormented again or might even get rid of it if they rescue someone else who is caged if you opted to hook rather than cage them.
If they are tormented and you hook them they stay tormented unless they rescue someone from a cage. Second time round cage them quickly. Gives great mid game pressure.
Pyramid heads power sucks It shouldn't have such a short last time and also get auto disappeared just because they're using it in a smart way on a objective like that basically makes it useless
My fear is when the things movies or games when its rusty or like too violent and so many blood and organs is already scares me when i sleep im like thinking its real so i gotta think a tree so i dont get scared

Combine blindness perks to make it hell for them. Hex Third Seal screws the whole team over struggling to find their teammates
So in their attempt to stop camping, they made a countermeasure to stop camping, which created a strategy that utilizes camping...
F***ing brilliant.
That cage tp stuff would be useful.... If I could even find the cages in the 1st place.
The cage shift kinda dope, ngl
Thank you for the tip, pyramid head is the killer imma get next
Only issue is though is that cage teleportation can and likely will be seem as camping anyway
I mean, if youre near a Cage and a surv is going to rescue just stay far enough to avoid the teleport and get a doble hit
Also if u press the attack button while doing trail u will make a wave
That last tip is quite unknown. I use it alot and ot brings alot of anger
oh shit that 3rd one is intense
I’ve been wondering. Do the cages have the basekit BT effect? Cause usually cages ignore most hook mechanics
and yet they cant make hooks re-locate when there's a Bubba camping...
I wouldn't use the cage because that gets rid of torment,just hook them then u can execute them
Lol had a trail in front of the door as the last survivor and the moment he walked away for the other door I was out lol
