A query regarding Dredge's Lockers

Hey all,

I wanted to get some insight into an issue I've noticed on odd occasion over the years while playing Dredge, and whether it's a bug, a feature, or a sign of cheating. Normally when I charge Reign of Darkness, I can see the auras of all the lockers on the map, whether locked or not, even those that are paired together and both are locked.

A situation I have encountered a few times over the years is I'll charge Reign of Darkness, look around, and notice what appears to be locker deadzones. My reaction in the moment is to grumble to myself about BHVR needing to improve the locker spawns, but continue playing the match all the same. However, I sometimes encounter that when walking to those supposed deadzones there are in fact lockers there, usually locked, and oftentimes near key objectives like exit gates or generators that are part of a 3-gen. The most recent example happened in a match last month on Rotten Fields.

So what is this? A bug regarding Dredge's ability to see valid lockers? Some as-of-yet undisclosed feature to Reign of Darkness that's not even mentioned in the official DbD wiki? Or evidence that one of the survivors in the lobby was using a subtle cheat to prevent me from being able to teleport to important areas?

    I always assumed there was some kind of range or cap to how many lockers are shown but knowing the game, it's more than likely a bug
