Hailing from the bible of Kim Henkel, Hands is a distant cousin to the Slaughter Family. The talented Robert Mukes (House of a 1000 Corpses) brings this 7ft tall, nearly 350 lbs, to life. Armed with a hammer and electronic traps, Robert makes Hands a force to be reckoned with.

While Hands is a drag racing legend in Texas, what residents in town don’t know is that he’s got a dark, violent, and gruesome nature. He’s the type of man who gets into grisly altercations at sleazy, run-down biker hangouts. During one of these fights, Hands beats a man to death, rips his face off, and proceeds to wear it as some kind of sick joke. This comes as no surprise as Hands is massive, extremely powerful, and can and will kill you with his bare hands in minutes.

After that altercation, Uncle Hands gives this human “mask” trophy to Leatherface, inadvertently creating a lifelong obsession for the kid.

“Being able to work with Kim Henkel to bring his original vision of Hands to life from his character bible has been both gratifying and amazing. Honoring authenticity and adding more layers to the lore of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has been a dream come true. I hope players will find him as terrifying and brutal as I do.”
- Ronnie Hobbs, Creative Director, Gun Interactive

Aside from wielding a hammer, players will find Hands to be a great asset to any Family team composition. Hands specializes in locking down areas, such as using his homemade electro traps to booby trap barricades, crawlspaces, and other metal objects.

Since Hands knows the ins and outs of machines, his Ripstall ability can be used to physically rip out valves and fuses, as well as being able to start the generator or battery quickly. If all else fails, Hands can use his body to take on a defensive stance. Anyone silly enough to approach him runs the risk of being knocked down by a well-timed barge.

“I am so excited for folks to see what I brought to the table with Hands. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of my all time favorite horror movies. I first saw it at 12 years old and thought it was a documentary because it felt so real. It’s amazing that I now get to work with an IP that means so much to me. With Kane Hodder doing stunt coordination, I had a blast mo-capping Hands as I used his hammer to bash Victims upside the head”
- Robert Mukes, Actor

Hands will be arriving to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on June 11th, 2024.

The following notes are for our upcoming, May 14th, 2024 patch. It’s scheduled to begin rolling out on console and PC at roughly 8AM EDT.

Tomorrow’s update includes Nancy’s House - Night which will introduce storms on maps. Players can expect to see storms on all other maps soon. For the time being, Nancy’s House - Night will be the first glimpse of what’s to come.

“We are working on weather for TX. Thunder, rain, etc. You'll get a first glimpse of our work with this map. You can see the storm in the distance. Future maps will have rain with some intense storms. This is not a dynamic weather system, but a bespoke one for each map.”
- Wes Keltner, CEO/ President, Gun Interactive

A new outfit for Johnny and Nancy will be available for $2.99 USD separately or $4.99 USD bundled.



Our team has been looking into making lobbies run smoother for all players. We have made some adjustments here, turned a few knobs there, and continue to work on our system. While we continue to look into providing a better lobby experience for our players, we are introducing a critical change to this system.

For this patch, we will be applying a three (3) minute timeout to players who

• Choose to leave a public lobby on purpose after prompted with an exit pop up
  
• Disconnect from the server while in a public lobby
  
• Close out of the game while in a public lobby (i.e. Alt- F4)
  

For further details, you can read about our Lobby Changes in full here.

• We have fixed an issue where no amount of Endurance Attribute Points on Nancy altered her melee attack stamina usage
  
• Endurance now works properly on Nancy
  

Fixed: Boon and Bone Scraps

• We have fixed the issue where using Boon to silence Nugget would deplete a bone scrap in a player's inventory

• We fixed an issue where Virginia’s Boon could be used to bypass animations from Leatherface’s overhead attack or Nancy’s Barbed Wire
