Also as for cosmetics, his P3 for sure. His Blight was kinda disappointing, I like the Cheese Knife but not the helmet and the body makes me so uncomfortable, and the Torment is just very meh... at least he's shirtless?
guess ill need to get i'm all ears then, lets hope it comes in the shrine soon
P3 all the way.
As for builds, I used to run bbq, corrupt, pop and Im all ears as above, but lately I started experimenting with other perks.
Like Monitor and abuse, Nurses calling, Deadlock with ruin and also some Pentimento with Plaything.
I am a BP slave so BBQ is in every build even tho you can cage people. However survivors use to evade trail like its lava or something so you get plenty of hooks even if you dont have any hook perks so it works
Throw out all existing Add Ons and make a new set from the ground up. They're all trash currently. The only ones anybody uses are the shockwave range up, and those just train you to think you can hit further than you can normally. Totally useless purples and iridescents across the board. I just Prestiged him and didn't mind losing a whole ton of addons in the process because I wasn't going to get any benefit from them anyway.
I was using BBQ for the BP, but he's, like, the one killer who doesn't get the full bonus of BBQ due to the cage mechanic, so I don't use it anymore. Mostly just tracking (whispers, tinkerer) and slow down (ruin). Pop's out too, due to the cage thing. I'm All Ears has a good argument, except the survivors can see your shockwave path due to the absurd Warning Light that goes through terrain, so everybody just moves out of the way anyway, so I don't like it.
My casual go-to Pyramid Head build is:
- BBQ
- Monitor & Abuse
- Nurse's Calling
- Scourge Hook: Pain res
BBQ is just a, quality of life perk because of the extra blood points and could be easily swapped out for something else. M&A is awesome on a somewhat ranged killer and it combos extremely well with nurse's calling, giving you tons of downs via wall hacks, often hitting two survs at a time.
The scourge hooks are my new, favorite killer perk and even though PyHead has his cages I only use those when there is no scourge hook around or I need to keep the pressure going.
Can't help with perks and add-ons, since they're always randomized anyway, but I have learnt how to use Obsidian Goblet pretty well to my advantage, so that's currently a favourite of mine. Any add-on that keeps Rites of Judgement for longer I also like.
As for skin, Prestige 3 all the way.
I really like his Blighted outfit, but there's no way I'm spending 16 bucks for it (nzd), so I settle with the P3
For a build I just run anything, I believe right now I've got on Corrupt, Deadlock, Brutal Strength and I'm All Ears.
My build?
My fav skin has to be the P3
Brutal?!
Yup, people like to pre-drop against Pyramid alot, also it just feels nice to have.
I'm not too interested in really optimizing my builds anyways so as long as it works, it gets the job done.
I've not been playing too frequently, but I like Thrilling Tremors, Starstruck, Agitation, and Distressing.
In terms of addons I'd like to see:
Not a main, but my go to build for Pyramid Head is:
Hex: Ruin
Amazing regression perk, especially with a killer that can end chases pretty quickly. Yeah, sure it can go early in the game but I don't personally mind that.
Save the Best for Last
Pyramid Head is a killer that has decent flexibility on when he wants to use his basic attack, meaning he can save stacks easily. A very nice perk to have.
Corrupt Intervention
Another amazing slowdown perk, can't really go wrong with this one.
Infectious Fright
Great information for snowballing and in general, along with the fact that having info on who's nearby lets you use your cages to their maximum potential. If I see 3 people in my Terror Radius, that's a no brainer, they're getting the cage.
My favourite skin has to be the Corrupted. The barbed wire and razor blades look so cool, and plus, he's shirtless :P
I just use the + potd Range addons tbh, everything else is kinda wack.
A few builds i use on him:
1st - Block thy Progress
Corrupt - Buys some time to trail some pallets / shack and doorways
Pop - Seeing as i only cage if i can chase another survivor immediately or to avoid possible DS or Deliverance or Flashlight Swf's. Might as well get some gen regression value.
Thrilling Tremors - Tells where to use Pop or spread my pressure more on that side of the map.
Infectious Fright / Deadlock - Depends on what get's brought into the match item wise.
2nd - Hexy Beast
Hex:Pentimento - I love this perk, when it gets used.
Pop - Standard
Hex:Plaything - Try to force a pentimento play or increase my odds of sneaking a potd hit on oblivious survivors sitting on gens.
Discordance - Most survivors spawn together, early pressure and useful throughout.
3rd - Hook City ######### / 2nd build variation
Dying Light - Reduced speed, i'll take it.
Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance - Gen regression and where to apply pressure.
Hex: Pentimento - Combined with dying light is absolutely brutal.
Hex:Plaything - Again forcing a pentimento or oblivious play.
Corrupted skin ftw.
Hey there!
I don't go for slowdown but rather my personal preferences: (Don't use this build if you're new with him as it's mostly tracking)
1. Monitor and Abuse (reduces your TR, therefore possibly reuducing the distance Survivors get because they don't hear you to early.
2. Whispers (To basically find my first chase as fast as possible, helps midgame sometimes and helps after closing the hatch.
3. BBQ and Chili: Blood points an once again, tracking.
4. Infectious Fright: Again, info. I don't slug with it unless I have to.
As for Add-ons.. yeah there so many great Add-ons. (I am joking)
I mainly use range + power duration, double range or no Add-ons.
Those would be:
- Burning Man Photograph
- Wax Doll
- Black Strap
- Tablet of the Oppressor
- Spearhead
- Copper Ring
Obsidian Goblet
Ultra Rare Rights of Judgement add-on
”Forgive me for waking you, but without you, I can’t go on” - James Sunderland
How does this sound?
I am amazed that people run Pop so much... Why? Its so weird on pphead.
I run BBQ but just for the BP, usually get like 2-3 tokens. Sometimes I run No way out, because2-3 tokens is enough for it to be worth it
Deadlock. OP
Corrupt or Ruin
Old-school version can be Run Undying, Tinkerer and +1. Then again, deadlock is incredibly strong
Skin: P3 all the way
Honestly, I think Pyramid Head has one of the best, if not THE best, P3 outfit in the game.
It's bloodsoaked and stained through and through, you can clearly see it on the weapon, and the helmet looks grimy and caked on the soot and rust of ages.
Let any puny survivor know that you didn't just shell out some quick money, but that you mean business and have a true passion for slaughter, executions and the punishment is the dammed.
Build
Ruin
Corrupt
Im All Ears
STBFL
Outfit:Prestige 3
Add-ons:None
I'm trying to go off Karu's guide for perks but I don’t have divine intervention yet so right now its just BBQ, IAE, POP, M&A. As far as skins go, I like his corrupted look the best.
I would never prestige any killer as there is just too much to spend points on if you play all killers. I did buy one of the PH skins in the store though. I really enjoy him.
As others have mentioned nurses, monitor, and sloppy can lead to double downs through walls.
I made all these in less than an hour :)

My current build with him is
My favourite skin is his P3 skin (still waiting on more unlinked cosmetic pieces - though I doubt it's going to happen.)
My favourite add ons are all his POTD range add ons.
I've yet to have a Pryamid Head match with James Sunderland in it...
I've been having fun with Scourge Hook Pain Res/Hex:Plaything/Starstruck/Deadlock even though they all have negative synergy with each other but that discordance adds to the appeal.
Starstruck forces people off generators near you. Plaything makes survivors have a secondary objective after getting hooked (and after first hook they're going to the cage if a scourge isn't nearby). They also have to make a choice between getting their totem and being vulnerable to starstruck again or not be aware of the Pyramid Head sneaking up on them. Deadlock is just guaranteed slowdown. Scourge hook pain resonance is there to get some opportunistic gen regression.
You can also pair it with the obsidian goblet iri to surprise anyone trying to go for a bodyblock/flashlight save by drawing the line of torment on whoever you're picking up and walking them through it.
I haven't seen you Pyramid Heads in forever...
probably because i barely play the game rn
Well there are many other Pyramid Head mains out there.
there's like 12 in total we're almost as rare as twins mains
I'm surprised people are getting a lot of value out of i'm all ears tbh, never known a survivor to stand still long enough or directly run into a potd predicted a couple of metres in front of their forward momentum directly after a rushed vault.
oh i defo get value from it (i dont have many clips saved so please forgive the fact the first one is ancient)
Twins mains are a myth.
i say no more on the subject
