Texas Chain Saw Massacre Update
The latest update of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre brings exciting changes and new content to the game. Released on June 11, this update introduces two new characters, Maria Flores and Hands, expanding the gameplay for both Victims and Family members. Each character is priced at $9.99 USD individually or $17.99 USD for the bundle, offering fresh opportunities for players to strategize and enjoy unique abilities like Maria's “Sweet Talk” and Hands‘ expertise in setting traps.
In addition to new characters, significant adjustments have been made to the skill tree, replacing Random Nodes with dedicated perks for a more streamlined experience. Fixes to perks such as ‚Wait a Second‘ and ‚Back for Blood‘ ensure smoother gameplay and improved mechanics. This update underscores the developers‘ commitment to enhancing the asymmetrical multiplayer horror experience of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, providing players with new tools and enhancements to either escape as a victim or hunt as a family member.
Texas Chain Saw Massacre Adds Characters and Brings Skill Tree Rework in New Update
The latest update introduces two new characters, Maria Flores and Hands. Players can purchase these characters individually for $9.99 each or as a bundle for $17.99. Additionally, the Leland Outfit Pack II is available for $4.99.
Besides new content, this update focuses on a significant rework of the Skill Tree system. The developers have removed Random Nodes from every character's Skill Tree and replaced them with dedicated perks. This change aims to reduce the frustration players experienced from repeated respecs to get the desired perks. Importantly, while the nodes have been eliminated, the levels of the players‘ perks will remain unaffected.
The update also brings adjustments to two specific perks: „Wait a Second“ and „Back For Blood“. The „Wait a Second“ perk now functions correctly, ensuring that victims entangled in barbed wire must wait for a specific duration before removing it, with the assistance of fellow victims enabling immediate removal. For the „Back For Blood“ perk, the issue of health not being regained when attacking Grandpa has been fixed.
Changes in Skill Trees
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Removed Random Nodes | Random Nodes in all Skill Trees are replaced with dedicated perks. Players will find that character skill trees have been respecced, but perk levels remain unchanged. |
| Fixed ‘Wait a Second’ Perk | Previously, the perk didn't work due to an issue triggered during Nancy’s barbed wire animation. Now, the perk ensures victims wait a specific time before barbed wire removal, with the possibility of immediate removal by fellow victims. |
| Fixed ‘Back for Blood’ Perk | Addressed the problem where health wasn't regained when attacking Grandpa. The perk now decreases Family bond further and restores health on sneak attacks. |
