As is now customary, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre fans will be receiving Halloween-themed cosmetics pack on October 22nd to go with the recently-released Rush Week game mode. Developer Gun Interactive also took the opportunity to explain some recent changes that were applied to the game’s grapple system.
With the Halloween Pack, players can deck out the Sorority Girls in a festive batch of new outfits: witch, cowgirl, nun, devil or kitty. At the outset of each match, you can choose which cosmetic you want and it will equip to whichever Sorority Girl you spawn in as, as each of these individual cosmetics works for all of the Sorority Girls.
Despite the Halloween Pack being released for the Rush Week game mode, it is not included with the Texas Chain Saw Massacre Content Pass. Interested players will have the opportunity to purchase the Halloween Pack from their preferred platform’s storefront at $4.99 USD.
Meanwhile, the Gun team also recently published a new post on their Community Hub regarding the grapple system. According to Gun Interactive Brand Manager Matt Shotcha, the rework is aimed to make the close encounter mechanic feel more natural. “We wanted the one hit kill removed, because that didn’t feel fair if a Victim had full health to be one shot by a Family member jumping in. The flip side is, it doesn’t feel fair to be Hands or Johnny and lose a close encounter to Connie. So with that in mind, we felt this made sense for the characters size, attributes, etc.
Now when you enter a close encounter to fight back against the Family, you’ll be doing so from a more informed position on how risky that just might be, and whether or not you might want to avoid that encounter or jump in on the attack.”
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is out now on PC via Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
