The Cook in Texas Chain Saw Massacre might not seem menacing, but he's extremely efficient at tracking survivors down and maiming them using several quickly-timed attacks. However, The Cook is even stronger when players ensure that his loadout includes the best perks and attributes for this character. You'll want to pay special attention to your skill tree when choosing perks for The Cook. Here are the best builds for The Cook in Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Best Cook Build In Texas Chain Saw Massacre
There are many different playstyles that one can take on with any Slaughter Family member in Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Cook is no different; your perks will dictate how you play the game, so it's important to choose ones that highlight your strengths or make up for your weaknesses.
Best Perks For The Cook
- Best: Prey Drive
Prey Drive is The Cook's unique perk, and it's his best. It increases the Stamina recharge rate. However, it only activates after spotting a Victim. This ensures that once you spot a Victim, you're able to close in on them at a rapid rate.
- Strong: Big Swings, Swinging For The Fences, Vial-ent
Big Swings and Vial-ent increase The Cook's damage, making up for one of his weaknesses. While he can attack rapidly, his attacks don't do much damage, so you'll want to increase it in any way possible.
Swinging For The Fences is strong since it reduces how much Stamina your melee attacks consume, allowing you to keep up with your attacks and ideally take down Victims. The Cook can use all additional stamina he can get when it comes to attacking Victims, making this an excellent pick.
Best Attributes For The Cook
- Harvesting, Endurance
The Cook is an excellent Harvester by default, able to collect lots of blood from buckets and effectively feed Grandpa. In fact, he can easily level Grandpa up to level one with just one good blood run. Leveling up this ability will make him even more efficient, allowing players to level up Grandpa effortlessly throughout the match.
Increasing The Cook's Endurance can help him upkeep attacks on Victims, much like how you'll want to enhance his Stamina with his perks.
Cook Skill Tree
The Cook is excellent at tracking down Victims, and, by advancing in his skill tree, you can even share the information you gain with your ability with other family members. Combined with an increased detection range, The Cook's skill tree abilities can enhance his powers further.
- Level One: Reduce Ability Drain
- Reduces ability drain by 30%.
- Level Two: Increase Detection Range
- Victim detection range is increased by 20%.
- Level Three: All Family See Noise
- All Victims marked are seen by the entire family.
Those are all the best builds for The Cook in Texas Chain Saw Massacre. While these builds are powerful, you may want mix-and-match perks to see what builds align well with your playstyle and preferred Slaughter family member.
