Welcome to the trophy guide for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This can also be considered a walkthrough and may be used for PlayStation 4, 5, Xbox One, Series X and Steam. Achievements for Steam and Xbox are in almost all cases the same as the PlayStation 4/5 Trophies. A roadmap is provided in the stages below.
Follow us on Twitter for the latest news and giveaways. Feel free to join our Discord server if you have questions.
Note: 1. The time to platinum will vary on a number of factors like a player’s own skills, use of microphones to communicate with teammates, other players staying connected to the game even through kill animations, etc.
2. This guide is based on the base game up to Patch 3 (Sept. 13, 2023). The developers have modified the balancing, XP amounts, and other issues that have arose through the release of the game and it will continue to evolve as deemed necessary.
Welcome to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Take on the role of one of the notorious Slaughter family, or their victims, in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a third-person asymmetrical horror experience based on the groundbreaking and iconic 1974 horror film. As a Victim you must use your wits and stealth to stay out of the Family’s reach and find the tools you need to lead to your eventual freedom. Slaughter Family players must seek out, track down, and stop their guests from escaping. Players of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre can finally find out if they have what it takes to survive. Experience the mad and macabre for yourself in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Stage 1 – Play Online Public Matches to Rank Up to Level 50.
You will need to complete a minimum of 74 matches, but you will more than likely need to play significantly more than that. You can also earn XP in Public Matches and will need to earn a total of 589,000 XP to reach Level 50. In the process you will need to rank up all of the Victims to a minimum of Player Level 5. Certain Family and Victim characters will need to be fully ranked up however, as there are certain trophies attributed to only one specific character.
Stage 2 – Boost Trophies
The vast majority of trophies can be attained by playing Private Matches with a minimum of 4 people to the maximum of 7 people. Some trophies will be extremely hard to obtain if you do not boost as they require very specific things to occur, and these do not unfortunately happen in normal game play in Public Matches.
Forever Texas
Get all Trophies
Congratulations on your shiny new bloody platinum!
Texas Through and Through
Reach level 5 with all characters.
You will need to level up the Victim characters to a minimum of level 5.
Totally Texas
Reach Player Level 50.
You will need to play Public Matches to earn XP and rank up to Player Level 50.
You can earn XP as either Family or Victims. For the Family you will earn XP by: killing Victims, destroying obstacles, setting traps, collecting blood, using poison, placing locks, using the Family members’ special skill to track Victims, etc.
For the Victims to earn XP they can: Loot items (bone scrap or tools), killing chickens, healing other Victims, stabbing grandpa, sunning Family members, winning close encounters with Family members, cutting down noise makers, unlocking doors, opening escapes (fuse, pressure valve, car battery, or generator escapes), escaping the match, staying longer in a match, being the last to escape a match, more Victims that escape with you escaping,
Lone Star
Reach level 5 with a single character.
You will need to level up any character to level 5.
Mine All Mine
Execute all four victims in a single match.
As a Family Member, you will need to kill all four Victims in one match.
Makin’ Grandpa Proud
Achieve a perfect family win (killing all victims) on each map.
You will need to play all 3 maps in the game (Family Farm, Gas Station, and Slaughter Yard). On each of these maps you will need the Family to kill all of the Victims without any escaping.
Now it’s my turn
Sneak attack all family members in a single match.
Any of the Victims can use a bone scrap and sneak behind a Family member to stab and stun them, however some characters like Leland and Ana have a better skill set for completing this task.
Escape Artists
Achieve a perfect victim win (all victims escape) on each map.
You will need all of the Victims to escape on all three maps at least once. For a Victim to escape they do not need to necessarily open up the escape if the exit is available to take as long as they escape the map. An exit will be highlighted in yellow when it is open. Remember that the Fusebox and Valve Exits can be reopened by flipping or turning the valve again to open the exit, however, the Family Members will be aware of when this happens. The Fusebox exit will say open about 30 – 45 seconds. The Valve exit will need the pressure to build, and when it reaches the correct amount, it will open this exit. The car battery exit or the generator exit will have a green light on when it is open, it too can be reopened by turning the car battery or generator off again to reuse the exit if it was reset by the Family.
Fixer
During a single match stop the generator, fix the fusebox and open the pressure valve.
You will need to stop the generator by kicking it, obtain the fuse, insert/repair the fusebox, obtain the pressure valve and place it on the pressure tank/turn on. The location of the fuse, fusebox, pressure valve, and pressure tank will be randomly located on any of the maps. However, the Slaughterhouse is the only map with the pressure tank in the Basement area of this map which may make this an easier map to complete this trophy on. The Family Farm is a little more difficult to achieve this trophy on as you will need to pass through the House’s main and second floor.
The Lucky One?
Escape 100 times.
You will need to escape a minimum of 100 times from the match. Any combination of escape exits and maps can be used to make up this total.
Tread Softly
Avoid being detected by Grandpa for a whole match.
Grandpa will awake at the start of the game when the noise level gets too high, a Victim unlocks a Basement Door, or the Family members feed Grandpa enough blood. Whenever Grandpa is fed more blood, his ability will increase (range and frequency), however, you will be warned before he uses his ability with an on screen warning. This means that the Victim needs to stop moving to avoid detection by Grandpa. You will need to escape before Grandpa reaches his maximum level of 5 during a match, because at this level you will be detected no matter if you are moving or not.
Behind the Curtain
Get your first unlockable.
As you play Public Matches and gain XP, you will naturally unlock the extras that are the behind the scenes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie franchise, alternate costumes for your characters, and nostalgia.
Our Hero
Shoulder barge and stun 10 family members.
You will need to play as Leland, as his special ability is to be able to shoulder barge the Family members. You can level up this ability to level 3 as it is his special ability.
Don’t Touch
Poison 15 victim pickups (Unlock Tool, Bone Scraps, health bottle).
As Sissy, you can use your poison on the Unlock Tool boxes, Bone Scrap piles, Health Bottles, Fuses, and the Pressure Valve. You will need to apply the poison to any combination of these items for a total of 15 times. Sissy can get more poison from her Flower Stations that are scattered across a map, they are typically near the Unlock Tool Boxes.
Powder Burns
Confuse two or more victims simultaneously.
As Sissy, you can use your poison to blow (shown as a green cloud) it at the Victims. You will need to have two Victims get affected by your poison so they will need to be in close proximity to each other. This is easily done when a group of Victims is going through a tighter area like the stairs or crawl space that you have blown poison towards. Another way is to use an open exit (like the Fusebox or Valve) when many Victims may be trying to escape before the exit closes. If you have Sissy blow poison right near the exit, the Victims will have to pass through the green poison cloud and be affected.
All Knowing
Track all family members in a single match.
Playing as Sonny, his special ability is that he is able to see the location of the family members (like a sonar) by sounds through the map level. When his ability is activated, you will need to use the camera to look around to locate all the family members within the map, once you have done this you will earn this trophy.
You Spelt Champion Wrong
As a family member kill a victim in under 30 seconds from the start of a match.
You will need to play as Leatherface and kill a Victim in under 30 seconds once you have started a match. It’s highly recommended to earn this through a boosting session where the Victims can go directly to where Leatherface is located at the beginning of the game.

They are:
1. Fusebox exit in Basement of the House.

4. Generator exit in the front where you go left down the road.
5. Generator exit in the front where you go right down the road.
Running, Jumping, Climbing Trees
Spent first points in the unlock tree.
As you play matches, you will earn XP for completing various tasks. You can then use this to upgrade a character’s skill tree and unlock new perks to improve your character. You can unlock skills for a character in the Main Menu > Customization or within the Lobby after selecting your character. The first time you use a point, you will earn this trophy.

4. Generator exit in the docking yard.
The Saw is Family
Reach family bond to maximum and keep it there for the whole match.
You will need to constantly feed Grandpa blood from the harvest reservoirs located randomly around the map. You can use your Family Power to reveal where they are while also seeing other important items in the map. You should also equip perks for your character that allow you to collect more blood from the harvest reservoirs and from Victims. You will collect blood when you have hit Victims and killed them. When your blood level is full, it will highlight Grandpa’s location. You should immediately feed Grandpa to allow his level to increase and allow your character to collect more blood again. The blood reservoirs will replenish over time and allow you to collect more blood multiple times. The faster the characters feed blood to Grandpa the quicker he will reach maximum level 5. Eventually at Grandpa’s maximum level the Victims will have no place to hide and they will be revealed no matter if they are moving or not. You need to also prevent the Victims from stabbing Grandpa as this will break the leveling up of Grandpa for some time and allow the Victims to move around and possibly escape more easily. At the end of the match if Grandpa’s level is at maximum you will earn this trophy.
Dog Will Hunt
As Leatherface destroy 10 objects with your chainsaw (barricades, crawl space, door).
As Leatherface, you are the only character who can destroy objects in the game. These objects that he can destroy are: barricades, some crawl spaces, and doors. Leatherface can use his chainsaw to eliminate any of these objects, but while doing so he can be stabbed by the Victims and the object will not be destroyed.
Executioner
Perform the Gutted Like a Deer, Clobbered, Sliced Meat, Sticky End and Killing Tease executions as Leatherface, Cook, Hitchhiker, Johnny and Sissy.
Each of the Family members has a default type of execution that they perform and you only need to do one for each character.
The default execution is as follows:
1. Leatherface – Gutted Like a Deer
2. Cook – Clobbered
3. Hitchhiker – Sliced MEat
4. Johnny – Sticky End
5. Sissy – Killing Tease
Nowhere left to Hide
As a victim hide in a freezer, locker, wardrobe, trunk, and car trunk.
Through each map there may be a few freezers, lockers, wardrobes, trunks, and car trunks. The freezers are usually in the Basement or the main floor of the House, or in the Slaughterhouse building. Lockers can be in the Basement and various buildings. The wardrobes can be in the Basement, main or second level of the House, or even in some buildings. The car trunks are any car that is scattered throughout the map and they are typically close to a road exit. You only need to hide in each of the 5 types at least once. When you hide, if you wait too long your character will burst out of the hiding place and make noise.
Doing Well
Jump down a well 10 times in total.
All maps will have 4 wells in them and the locations are always in the same places. You only need to jump down a well for a total of 10 times. When you do jump down a well, you will lose health, could need to recover if your health is too low, or possibly die if your health is very low. Jumping down wells is also a good way to save time so that you get to an exit, find items (Unlocking Tool, Bone Shard, etc.), bypassing locked doors, or avoiding the Family members.
Respec
Respec a characters unlock tree after reaching maximum level.
For any character that you have reached maximum level 10 in their skill tree, you can choose to respec the skill tree. Upon respecing the skill tree, you will earn this trophy. You will get back all the skill points and will be able to explore any new perks that you have not used before or repick any that you previously obtained.
Hung up on you
Execute 10 victims in total on gallows as Leatherface.
As Leatherface you are the only Family Member who can pick up any Victim that has been wounded enough that they are recovering or dying while laying on the ground. There are 3 gallows on each map and the easiest to locate are on the Family House map. If a Victim jumps out the second floor window, they will automatically be laying on the ground afterwards so that it is an easy pick up for Leatherface to get them and take them to a highlighted yellow gallows. This trophy is more difficult to do in Public Matches as more Family members are trying to just execute a Family member. Therefore, it is recommended to earn this trophy in a Private Match where you can boost 3 of the gallows executions during one match.
I’m comin’ for ya
As Hitchhiker use one sidle, bolthole and ladder in a single match.
During one match, you will need to be playing as Hitchhiker. You will need to use any open crawl spaces where you move sideways or underneath to enter another area. Also, use a ladder to go between the ground level and Basement/Tunnels on the map.
Undetectable
Use the Ultimate Escape ability at level 3 to reduce stamina consumption and become immune to detection 5 times.
Playing as Julie, you will need to level up her special ability. This will take many matches to gain enough XP for her special ability so that it gets maxed out at a level 3. Once it is at level 3, then you only need to use it a total of 5 times thereafter and earn this trophy. This fully upgraded ability will allow Julie to escape detection from almost any situation where the Family use their special abilities against the Victims.
Bring it on
Win 4 close encounters as a victim in total.
Playing as any Victim, you will need to obtain a Bone Shard and then when you are close to any Family member, excluding Leatherface, you can initiate to Counter them when prompted. You will need to press X repeatedly to defend yourself and win the close encounter with the Family member.
Perking Up
Start a match with a fully levelled up ability and three level 3 perks equipped.
You will need to fully level up any character so that their special ability is at level 3 and that the 3 equipped perks are also at level 3. This means that you will have to play many Public Matches to level up them up fully.
Welcome to the Family
Execute your first victim.
As any Family Member, kill your first Victim to earn this trophy.
Serial Killer
Execute 100 victims in total.
You will need to accumulate a total of 100 executions for your own playthroughs of the game. This is not the number of kills shown under Progression tab, as the Kills and Execution numbers can be different due to the players that get killed not staying connected to the match during the animation of the kill. See the pictures below.
He was the greatest ever.
Feed Grandpa 10 times in total.
As a Family Member, you can collect blood from the Blood Reservoirs and by attacking/killing Victims. When your Blood level is full, Grandpa will be highlighted yellow so know that you need to empty your blood and feed Grandpa. You do not need to wait for your Blood level to be full in order to feed Grandpa, but there is an animation involved and this will allow more time for the Victims to be gaining time on their escapes. After feeding Grandpa 10 times you will earn this trophy.
First Blood
Execute the first victim in a match.
As a Family Member, be the first during a match to kill a Victim to earn this trophy.
Get Outta There

As a Family Member you will need to kill a Victim within 10 metres of any exit in any map.
Last Victim Standing
As last victim standing, survive for 3 minutes and escape in a single match.
During a match, playing as a Victim you will need to be the last one that has either not escaped or been killed during the match. You will need to stay in the match at least 3 more minutes and then eventually escape during this match.
Shhhhh
As a victim escape a level without making any noise from collecting objects, traps, chickens, bone charms, doors.
Playing as a Victim you will need to be as quiet as possible. You can never make any noises as indicated on your noise meter when obtaining any Unlock Tools, Bone Shards, etc., so its recommended that you do minimal of any of these activities and let the other Victims get items. Let them open Basement doors and escape exits. The Basement door will always more noise whenever opened so have another Victim do this for you. Also, avoid the Bone Charms, Chickens, and Traps by letting the other Victims take care of them for you.
Git back here
Win 4 close encounters as family members in total.
As any Family Member other than Leatherface, you can come into close proximity of a Victim and they can initiate a close encounter with you. You will need to press X repeatedly and win this battle so that you kill them during this close encounter.
Can’t Keep Me Out
Successfully barge open a total of 10 latched doors.
As any player, other than Leatherface, you can barge open latched doors. Some characters are better at breaking open these latched doors than others, too. An easy location to farm these is in the Basement as a Victim where you can latch doors and then go through crawl spaces, then barge open these doors. However, barging open a latched door will create noise, so be on the lookout as to who is around you at the time of doing these.
Fighting Back
Successfully perform 3 sneak attacks against family members in total.
As a Victim, you can obtain a Bone Shard from a Bone Pile. You can then sneak behind a Family member and attack them with the Bone Shard. These 3 sneak attacks can all be done in one match or across many matches.
Team Player
Heal 4 teammates in total.
Throughout any map there will be Health Bottles that a Victim can collect. You will then need to use this when you are near another Victim (states “Heal a Friend”) on them. It is easy to do this while the other Victim is searching for a Tool or unlocking a locked door/gate. Do this a total of 4 times either during one match or across many matches.
Be like Sally
Escape down the driveway after jumping out of the family house front window.
Playing as a Victim on the Family House map, you will need to jump through the front window of the house. Some Victims may need to recover if their Health is too low which could allow the Family members to find you more quickly and kill you. The generator will need to be off so that the green light near the end of the driveway exit is open. It Is best to attempt this when you hear the generator turn off and the front road exit is open. You may want to have a Health Bottle in your inventory just in case you need it. Once you jump out the window you will need to go towards the road and escape either to the right or to the left.
Fully Focused
Use the focus ability to unlock 10 doors in total.
Playing as Connie, her special ability allows her to open locks very quickly when she activates it. You can level up her special ability the more you use it.

Safe and Secure
Add extra locks to 10 doors in total.
Playing as Cook, you can put up to 3 locks on doors that are not Basement doors per match. You will need to do this a total of 10 times to earn this trophy.
I hear you
Successfully spot 10 victims in total.
Playing as Cook, you can activate his special ability to hear noises from Victims and use it to locate and highlight a Victim in red. A Victim will know that they have been tagged by Cook. This will make it much easier for the Family to track down this highlighted Victim to kill. You will only need to spot a total of 10 Victims through your matches. If the generator is on and Cook is near it, it will interfere with his special ability.
I got one!
Catch a total of 5 victims in traps.
Playing as the Hitchhiker, he is able to set a total of 3 traps per match. It is best to place the traps where the Victims will have to go like near a Fusebox, locked door, the landing at the top of ladders, the landing at the top of stairs, crawl spaces, or even in grassy areas frequented by the Victims. You will need to catch a total of 5 Victims in his traps to earn this trophy.
Purge
Using the Pain is Nothing ability purge 4 poison effects.
Playing as Ana, her special ability will allow her to negate the effects of poison that Sissy can have on picked up Poisoned Items and clouds of the green poison. You will need to activate her special ability after being affected by the poison. Sometimes it is easy to run through the lingering green poison clouds once you know Sissy and the other Family members are not around so that you can earn these more quickly without worrying about the Family members harming Ana. You will need to use this ability at least 4 times to purge the effects being poisoned.
Can’t hide from me
Analyze 5 victim footprints in total.
Playing as Johnny, he has the special ability to find, analyze, and track any Victim’s footprints. The Victim will know that Johnny has found their footprints and may be tracking them down.

What WILL be Left of You?
Play 74 public matches.
