Can someone explain how Hellraiser works?

[Anarch]

I haven't touched this game in years, and chains would keep spawning infinitely and hooking onto me the entire match, I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing and how to even do gens when this interrupts me every 5 seconds.

Thanks, but I really just cant do gens at all until I find it? That seems kinda crazy

There's a timer before the global hunt kicks off, where the survivors can play normally. Only one survivor needs to resolve the cube, and it resets the timer and stops the hunt if it's active for the entire team

Definitely harder to co-ordinate as a solo, but the HUD's "what're my teamates doing" section can help show you if somebody's going for the box or working a gen / being chased

Okay, I got the feeling the entire team had no idea what to do because the MMR probably threw me in with a bunch of noobs just like me, only 1 gen was finished.

He has passive global pressure, but his actual Power in a chase is garbage to balance it out; he has to slow down while charging a portal, release it at the right time to have LOS to a Survivor who has likely rounded several corners, manually aim a chain that comes out of it to hit a Survivor instead of breaking in midair on a scenery object, and then walk over to the slightly slowed Survivor to land an M1 before they break every chain using the scenery, vault, or drop a pallet.

The box can be solved while someone else is in a chase or being hooked. You can also hold the box hostage to keep him chasing you instead of protecting gens (Chain Hunt stops while the box is held). Even if he downs the person holding the box, it starts a very short Chain Hunt that stops on its own after a bit.

On paper, Chain Hunt sounds broken since it could theoretically slow gens to a crawl; in practice, it's not a threat and neither is his chase Power.

Only problem is a lot of killers exploit the teleport to the cube and 1 shot the survivor doing the cube even if its perfectly done. Its the main reason no one clicks the box.
