Texas Chain Saw Massacre: How to Change Characters

Summary

Players can switch between Family members or Victims to determine their preferred playstyle in every match.

Texas Chain Saw Massacre features iconic characters from the popular '70s slasher series as Victims and Family members. All characters in Texas Chain Saw Massacre have unique skill trees, perk load-outs, and character attributes that create a chaotic match-up. Players can switch between Family members or Victims to determine who they like playing in every match.

However, there must be four different Victims and three Family members for a match to start. Since two players can't select the same character, they may wonder if they are stuck if they start a match as someone they don't want to play. This guide has everything Texas Chain Saw Massacre players need to know to change characters.

How to Change Characters in Texas Chain Saw Massacre

Whenever Texas Chain Saw Massacre first opens up, players can watch a short introductory video or skip straight to the Play menu. The Play menu is where they'll pick whether they want to be a Family member or a Victim in a solo match or start/join a lobby. Once the match loads, players will be assigned a random character to start with.

There are five total Family members and Victims to choose between. Players can switch out their characters by going to the Character tab on the main menu. If their desired character is chosen by someone else, players can request a trade. If that doesn't yield good results, they can always load a new match or wait until the next one.

While players can play a match with any of the Victims, Leatherface must be selected as one of the three chosen Family members to start the match. Additionally, the leftover Victim will feature in the opening cut scene for Family members.

Victim Character Attributes

When selecting a Victim to play as in Texas Chain Saw Massacre, players want to keep a few things in mind. Certain Victims fare better against specific Family members, and most of the Victims thrive in different ways.

Sonny has one of the best Endurance stats, so running away is his strong point, but his Stealth is severely lacking. Leland's Stealth is also low, but he is by far the strongest character and can knock down and stun the Family members easily. Each Victim also has their own special ability to assist them and teammates during matches. While Connie has low Endurance and Strength, her special ability, Focused, allows her to pick a lock without needing an Unlock Tool.

See below for a full list of the victims and their starting attributes:

Victim	Toughness	Endurance	Strength	Proficiency	Stealth
Ana	35	25	30	20	20
Connie	20	25	15	35	30
Julie	25	30	15	21	35
Leland	20	30	40	25	10
Sonny	15	35	35	25	15

Family Member Attributes

The Family member's attributes are designed to help them be the best team of killers they can be. Of course, Leatherface is the best at dealing damage, but there are Family members who pair well with him and help make up for some of his flaws.

Leatherface is known for his brutality and not his stealth. There are many crawl spaces and holes players can use to evade him unless they're playing as Sissy or Johnny. They are also the only Family members who can crouch down and sneak up on Victims. The Hitchhiker is known for his Traps which contain and highlight Victims whenever they come across one.
