Pinhead ruins gaming experience

[味味Aパイコーチキン麺]

The killer stood on top of the Cube on purpose

Make it impossible for survivors to take the Cube

Some sites even promote this way

deliberately wasting game time

I want to know, is this malicious way of playing allowed?

Hes not holding the game hostage, just making it slow af.

Maybe report for AFK, but other than that, not really

With that strategy, Pinhead will usually stay on the cube

Pinhead's Chain Hunt interrupts generators, but do not regress them.

The only thing you can do is remove chains then keep working gens.

His entire strategy is about you going to him, so don't.

Hope that helps if you ever meet another cube guarding Pinhead

As others have said, it's about being annoying and nothing more.

It's basically just forcing you to play with a 50% repair speed debuff because you either have to dodge or remove the hooks every few seconds, which is an annoyance at worst. That's not to say that it isn't bad sportsmanship, but it's not in the same ballpark as things like 3 genning because you aren't being prevented from repairing generators in any way.

talk less do gens more

It is a legit strategy, but also very easy to counter. All you need is 2 or more survivors do gen tgt, and the remain survivors run around those who are repairing, so the chain cannot affect those 2.

Killer being afk is the most easiest situation for survivor tbh.

The one time I attempted this, I only got 1 kill because someone tried to break my hex right next to my box.

Otherwise they bodyblocked chains and did gens.

I don't really consider this malicious or game breaking/hostage taking. Delaying and possibly boring yes but meh. Plus it's not like it happens every pinhead game.

What does the cube do? Only played against him once.

"If left to its own devices, the Lament Configuration eventually initiates a Chain Hunt.
During a Chain Hunt, the Lament Configuration continuously summons Chains that pursue and attempt to bind every Survivor, until any Survivor picks up the Lament Configuration, which ends the Chain Hunt.

The Cenobite can pick up the Lament Configuration himself, which will immediately start a Chain Hunt.
Additionally, all Survivors are instantly bound by Chains, causing them to scream and reveal their respective locations."

Activates Chain Hunt if Pinhead himself grabs it, which causes chains to constantly attach to Survivors, preventing almost any actions until the chains are broken.
But if a Survivor gets the box, they can solve it before Chain Hunt activates, so the box is gone for a short time, then it re-appears, setting the time before Chain Hunt on again.
You can still solve it when Chain Hunt is active, but it is preferable to solve it before then.

Pinhead is awful even when played 'correctly' anyway.
