When players are caught cheating in video games, they are often using a hack that allows them to see opponents on the map. This would indeed ruin a game likeTexas Chain Saw Massacreas well, but Sonny has a build that can come very close to what would be considered hacking the map.

Although he’s got some of the highest Strength and Endurance attributes, Sonny’s ability, Heightened Sense, allows him to stay safely away from opponents inTexas Chain Saw Massacre. With a good group and the right build, he can keep his team safely away from danger.
Skill Tree
The build tree for Sonny is particularly focused since he has some very specific perks that he needs to pick up. Sonny isn’t one ofthe better victim choicesuntil he gets to enhance his abilities with specific perks from the skill tree.

Go right twice and then left twice at the branches. In addition to picking up the proper perks, this will also give Sonny access to a healthy 28 attribute points. Since his default attributes are less than ideal, this extra pickup will help him round out his character.
Perks
Whenplaying with friends, these three perks dominate. Meter Reader and Radar Detection will both frequently highlight all opposing family members, allowing Sonny to still get a location from opponents even when his ability is on cooldown.
Tae Kwon Door is a game-saver for Sonny. Since he can accurately know where enemies are, he can bash open a door when somebody closes in and take that family member out of the match for a huge chunk of time. With the right build, this is enough time to pick a lock or even escape while the family member can only helplessly watch.
Attributes
Strength and Endurance may be Sonny’s features attributes but it’s wise to avoid investing in them further. Sonny’s ultra-low Toughness means he should not be fighting, so the Strength score is not useful. Endurance is useful when making a break for it but, at a default of 35, Sonny can already run almost anywhere without getting tired.

The biggest issue is proficiency which will let Sonny interact with objects quicker. Sonny is the only victim who can guarantee safety while interacting with an object but will have to cut down on that interaction time as much as possible for this to take effect.The best family memberswill patrol between doors and, if Sonny isn’t quick enough, even he won’t see them coming.
Ability Modifiers
The icing on the cake is unleashing Sonny to use his ability frequently. The first two levels in Shorter Cooldown stack, reducing the recharge rate by a full three seconds. This makes Heightened Senses in a constant state of recharging.
For the level three modifier, go for Quicker Recharge Rate to increase the ability recharge rate by 100%. With this combination, the ability will be recharging frequently and quickly, allowing Sonny to use the ability anytime he needs it.
Texas Chain Saw Massacreis available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
