Quick Links
Aside from Leatherface and Grandpa, there is one other Family member who makes their return from the original 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Texas Chain Saw Massacre film. Nubbins Sawyer, also known as The Hitchhiker, is꧂ just as terrifying and clever as his film counterpart. The Hitchhiker relies on his traps to ensnare Victims and claim victory for the Family.
By equ꧂ipping the proper perks and abilities, you can turn the Hitchhiker into a lethal hunter capable of chasing down any Victim. Like Sissy, the Hitchhiker can also squeeze through tight spaces to continue pursuing Victims. Constant use of this attribute allows you to never give up the chase.
Hitchhiker Strengths And Weaknesses
The Hitchhiker's best stat is his Endurance at 28 points. This stat determines how big his stamina bar is and how quickly he will recover stamina once the bar is fully depleted. Luckily, this means the Hitchhiker can chase for a while before becoming fatigued.
His second-best stat is Blood Harvesting at 22 points. Blood Harvesting affects how much blood you can carry and how much blood you accumulate from hurting Victims or collecting blood from buckets. It's best to leave blood harvesting to better-suited Family members like the Cook and Sissy.
Lastly, the Hitchhiker's worst stat is Savagery at only 15 points. Savagery dictates how much damage you'll do to Victims. You'll need to carefully manage your stamina since it'll take a lot of hits for the Hitchhiker to kill someone.
Hitchhiker Ability And Unique Perks
As an expert in the macabre, the Hitchhiker can create traps from ribs and wire. After pressing the ability button, you can choose a location for each trap. You'll be granted three traps to place around the map, you can retrieve a trap at 🔯any time by return𒐪ing to its location and picking it up.
Victims who step into a trap will become stuck and will need to free themselves. Othe𝐆r debilitating effects can occur depending on how you level up💦 the Trap ability.

How To Play As Hitchhiker
As soon as the match starts, you should find a nearby exit and head there. Secure the exit by turning on the car battery and placing one of your traps nearby.
Traps should go on important locations that Victims need to interact with to escape. This can be near car batteries, right in front of the lock on exit gates, in front of fuses, or in front of Valve handles. This ensures that Victims will need to disable your traps before they can escape, which buys the Family more time.
Be sure to remember where you put your traps. You'll be notified if a trap successfully ensnares someone, but you won't be notified of the Victim's location.
When you do find a Victim, you'll have the necessary means to pursue them for a long time. If a Victim with high endurance keeps running in circles to slow you down, place a trap down to lay down pressure on them. Once a Victim is trapped, let your stamina recharge before attacking.
If a trap has gone a long time without either being destroyed or capturing a Victim, you should consider moving it. If you've trapped an exit, it's likely that Victims have given up on that exit and have decid♉ed to trꦐy their luck on another escape.
Best Builds For Hitchhiker
Upgrade the trap ability to obtain the ability that lets all Family members see an ensnared Victim. This ability gives your stronger Family members the opportunity to quickly eliminate a survivor. You'll be granted more time to patrol the area and search for other Victims.
As for Perks, consider the Hitchhiker's unique perk Wire Frame. This perk lets you end chases faster when Victims try to evade you through wall gaps and crawl spaces. While they think they're creating distance, you'll quickly gain on them.
