Chains are a good ability to cripple survivors and make your hunt easier, but they are not the only weapon of Pinhead. If you are somehow familiar with Hellraiser then you know about the Lament Configuration. This artifact is a part of the Chain Hunt mechanic which makes chains harassing survivors. All players see the aura of the Configuration and they are able to pick it up. If you do this you will get the oblivious status and chains are going to pursue you. In order to escape, you need to solve the puzzle but this will mark you for Pinhead and he will be able to teleport to you.

This killer can’t see the Configuration, but in case he picked it up, Chain Hunt starts immediately by chaining all the players. Also, Chain Hunt will be started in case you are not solving the Lament Configuration. If you play as Pinhead, try to chase survivors and wait until they try to find the Configuration to stop Chain Hunt. When someone picked up the puzzle, you can get it by killing the one who did it and get an advantage. Following this strategy should bring you victory. Good luck in your further matches.
