Leatherface is one of the members of The Slaughter Family who will hunt down and kill the Victims.
Lore[]
"Leatherface is who he wears, altering his image and personality to suit the occasion. And while he may fill a variety of roles around the house, there's no doubt he's the butcher of the Family. Suffering from acromegaly, Leatherface has a massive, hulking frame that's almost as terrifying as his homemade masks crafted from human skin. Wielding a chainsaw, he can use his Maim ability to dismember Victims, or saw and bash through bolted doors and obstacles in his path. He may lack maneuverability, but his high Endurance and Savagery make him a walking nightmare."
Not much is known about Leatherface's early life, but several key details paint a disturbing picture of his history. It is confirmed that he has at least three brothers and was born with a disability that rendered him unable to speak, further isolating him from the world.
When Leatherface was still young, his uncle, Hands, gave him his first human "mask" after ripping the face off a biker. This act inadvertently sparked a lifelong obsession with masks, which became a defining characteristic of Leatherface.
At some point, Leatherface likely worked in the now-abandoned slaughterhouse alongside other members of his family, as mentioned by his brother, Hitchhiker, in the original 1974 film. This experience likely helped Leatherface become somewhat skilled with a sledgehammer, a tool he may have learned to use under Grandpa's guidance.
However, Leatherface's true weapon of choice is the chainsaw, which he wields with terrifying efficiency. The chainsaw has become so integral to his identity that it’s as much a part of him as his own family—it is the only tool he has ever known.
Leatherface also serves as the family's butcher, often tasked with killing anyone unfortunate enough to wander onto the Slaughter Family's property. This is evident during the events of the original 1974 movie, as well as the more recent events of the game, when Maria Flores accidentally stumbles onto the family’s land.
As Maria’s friends come searching for her weeks later, Leatherface, alongside the rest of the family, works to prevent them from escaping, ensuring their fate mirrors that of the countless victims before them.

Trivia[]
- Leatherface is modeled after the character of the same name from the 1974 film portrayed by Gunnar Hansen.
- A common misconception among the community is that his name in the game is "Bubba Sawyer". This is incorrect, as it wasn't until the 1986 film (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2) that he was given that name. The video game also does not have the rights or license to the second film, making it so that this name also can not be used. This makes his name just "Leatherface" in this game.
- Leatherface is motion captured by Kane Hodder, the same stuntman for Leatherface in Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, Hodder was given the role after Gun Media approached him with the offer due to Gunner's passing in 2015 as an effort to honor the role they both portrayed for the Character and as they were great long-time friends.
- Leatherface is recognized as the first slasher in the Horror Genre namely the Slasher Sub-Genre, with Michael Myers being the 2nd, and Jason Voorhees being the 3rd.
- During a livestream in late 2023, the developers stated they would consider giving Leatherface an option to use a sledge hammer, like in the movie, when his chainsaw is off. An unused perk related to this ability was discovered by data miners in early 2024 confirmed this was being worked on at some point, but latter dropped due to unknown reasons because it was never released. [1]
- Truck Stick: You can trigger a knockdown on victims while attacking with your chainsaw off. Cools down after (time) seconds.
- All of Leatherface’s sounds were made by Lex Lang. Lex Lang is a well known figure in voice acting. Aside from being the iconic Crash Bandicoot villain Dr. Neo Cortex and Blue Dragon in the anime, Lex is Suguru Geto from Jujutsu Kaisen, Candlemaker in DC's Doom Patrol on Max, The Doorman in Curious George, Poe Dameron in Star Wars Battlefront 2, and Ecliptor from Power Rangers in Space.[2]
- Leatherface's "prestine" Chainsaw from the free day 1 dlc chainsaw skins pack says Hansen, a reference to Gunnar Hansen who played Leatherface in the original film.
- The chainsaw gas cover is labeled Hansen 245A, as the gas cover on the chainsaw was Poulan 245A with the body being the the Poulan 306A.
- Gunnar Hansen confirmed that Leatherface's chainsaw was a Poulan 306a with a 245a gas cover
