Perks can be equipped and changed every match. They are not all available at first and must be unlocked through gaining experience each time players use a Family member. Family member perks are a great way to maintain control of the situation by hindering Victims or increasing Family members' abilities and violence. So, players can use this guide to learn about all the best perks for Family members in theTexas Chain Saw Massacregame.
Fired Up
Losing stamina is one of the biggesthindrances for Family members. Some Victims are quick or can run for a long time, but Fired Up will help by reducing the time it takes for stamina to regenerate. At Level Three, regeneration time is reduced by a significant 90%.

The quicker recovery time allows Family members to take down a Victim trying to give them the slip, especially if they’ve been hit enough times to stun them. Family members with weak endurance get more chances to complete a kill without using gimmicks such as poison or traps.
Serrated
Serrated is a Savagery perk, meaning that it affects the damage output a Family member is capable of. Savagery depends on the Family member and their go-to abilities; for example,Leatherface has a high Savagerywhile Cook’s is lower.
Serrated makes it to where Victims of the perk holder take extra damage every time they are hit for a certain amount of time. Victims like Leland, who can soak up much damage, no longer have the advantage.
Surgical
Surgical is more of a support role perk. Throughout the match, Family members willneed to feed Grandpablood to wake him up so that he can use his sonar ability. This ability highlights all moving Victims when it is active. To activate it, Family members must collect blood and give it to him when hungry.

Surgical makes it so that Family members get more blood when attacking Victims. Family members earn blood with each hit they manage to land, and at Level Three, Surgical gives them 100% more blood during these attacks.
Universal Donor
Another blood-related perk is Universal Donor. At the beginning of a match, all killers that aren’t Leatherface spawn upstairs. Since they don’t get access to Victims for blood until they escape the Basement, there isanother way to collect it. There are buckets full of blood all around the map upstairs.
Universal Donor increases the blood output from these buckets. Level Three Universal Donor adds a 40% blood increase to buckets. As long as players feed Grandpa continuously and revisit the buckets after their cool-down period, they will level him up quickly.
Down the Rabbit Hole
Down the Rabbit Hole challenges eventhe most elusive Victims. There are several places around the map, including crawl spaces, containers, and wells that Family members can’t use. Wells leads back down to the Basement and makes for a quick exit whenever a Family member has a Victim trapped.
Down the Rabbit Hole will highlight all Victims who use a well for a certain amount of time. Level Three highlights them for 17 seconds, giving Family members plenty of time to meet and corner them downstairs.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacreis available for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
