Anytime you play as a Victim inTexas Chain Saw Massacre, you have the choice of using three Perks. Not all are available to you, you’ll need to unlock them using the skill tree. Each perk earns you unique abilities, and sometimes upgrades your attributes. The best perks are the ones that gives you useful skills, which is what we’ll be examining in this list. Here are 10 of the best Victim Perks ranked inTexas Chain Saw Massacre.
Texas Chain Saw Massacre: 10 best Victim Perks, ranked tier list
S-tier Victim Perks inTexas Chain Saw Massacre
Some of the most important Perks inTexas Chain Saw Massacrehave to do with your survivability.Choose Flightis a must-have for characters like Julie (check out ourJulie buildguide to learn more), whose main ability has to do with sprinting away from the Family. With this Perk, yourStamina bar completely refreshes once depleted. At level one, it has a single charge, and for each level up to level three it gets an additional charge. That means you can sprint for an incredibly long time!
What Doesn’t Kill Youis a Toughness Perk whichreplenishes your health from avoiding taking damagefor the next 15 seconds after a melee attack. It’ll reward you with 50% health at level one, at by level three it reaches a whopping 100%. The last one in the S-tier isNo Sell, another Toughness Perk. If you get hit by a Family member, this Perk willlessen the damage you take. It has the same amount of charges as your Perk level, and by level three, you can take 80% less damage. Both these Perks mesh well with Ana and Leland, who are some of the strongest Victims in the game.
A-tier Victim Perks inTexas Chain Saw Massacre
In the Proficiency category, Efficient Locksmith and Intuition are great A-tier Victim Perks. You’ll have achance to not consume your Unlock Toolafter using it withEfficient Locksmith, going from 20-40% over three levels. I find this extremely useful with someone like Connie, who specializes in lockpicking.Intuitionis also great for players who often have a tough time finding key items. If you’re holding a valve or fuse, theplace you can use the key item is highlightedfor a good amount of seconds (40-100 seconds over three levels).
Otherwise,Choose Fightis a perfect Perk for a Strength-based build. Anysneak attacks or close encounters stun Family members longer; it lasts for 2 seconds at level one, 3.5 at level two, and 5 at level three. Finally,Bounce Back Betteris vital if you rely on healing items often. Theamount of healing you get is increasedquite a bit. When you heal yourself or you’re getting healed,the items are 25% more effective, then 40% at level three. I often find the healing items don’t work as well as I’d like, making this a high-tier Perk.
B-tier Victim Perks inTexas Chain Saw Massacre
Finally, Sanguine Shadow and Overlooked are the best B-tier Stealth Victim Perks.Sanguine Shadowallows you togain back health slowly if you sit in shadowsor hiding spots, but only if you drop below 30% health. At least by level three, it can work if you drop to 60% health, and it even heals you more per second.Overlookedis a great Perk that willhighlight all Family members for five secondswhen Grandpa’s Sonar ability is activated. The charges increase all the way to seven by level three. Someone like Sonny would work well with this Perk, since his main ability has to do with sensing the Family’s locations.
Also, we can’t forget aboutEmpowered, which is a decent Endurance Perk.After you survive a close encounter, you regain some health(50 at level three) andearn back a percentage of your max stamina(90% at level three). Because it aids both your health and stamina, this Perk is definitely worthwhile. It’s also buffed pretty nicely at its highest level.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacreis available onSteam.
