Finally seen Iron Maiden for its true purpose

... And I was the victim. Was downstairs in the house in Haddenfield playing a bit of locker roulette with the killer, he opened 2 of the lockers, but wanted to open them all, so I bolted and was surprised to see exposed effect and one shot downed..

I actually was not gutted as glad someone finally got proper use of perk, rather than a fast reload huntress perk. 
Any others got use of iron maiden this way?

    the perk is useless. smart survivors will go into a locker in the start of the match to heck if there's iron maiden.

    I agree it's useless but was happy to see it actually work as intended. Lol

    Rescued someone from basement, expected the killer to have a quick look and not check lockers, I exited and said f*** when I got exposed, surprising wraith

    Its got to be worth it on doc right??

    Even if the only effect is to stop them going in the lockers.

    Not really. By the time a survivor leaves the locker the killer is typically too far away to have it matter. I mean any perk can be situationally useful but with Doc you give up a lot for it. Consider a Doc with the capability to run Distressing and heartbeat effects such as Coulrophobia and Unnerving. Would Iron Maiden be better than Overwhelming Presence or Sloppy Butcher? What about NOED?

    I agree and devs can't realize this problem.

    They keep giving killers situational perks but killers don't have enough perk slots for these kind of perks. Mad grit and Iron maiden are useful perks surely but I don't have a slot for them. Unlike killers, survivors can use many useful situational builds without getting affected too much. One can equip borrowed time for saves, the other one can equip detective's hunch for hex perks and the other one might equip healing perks for faster heals etc.

    Devs need to realize that killers have to use perks that affect the whole game like enduring, bamboozle, brutal strength, spirit fury, BBQ etc.

    These kind of perks are wasted opportunities for better perks imo.

    I find Iron Maiden to work very well in basement builds. There always seems to be at least one person that doesn't leave when a survivor is saved. This makes it far less time consuming to check lockers and then when somebody leaves after you leave you can just go back and down them. Put them back in the basement and rinse and repeat.

    Maybe you can mindgame with Iron Maiden + Insidious LOL.

    Walk away 20 meters, then stand still. If they walk out of locker, they're good as dead.

    The thing is, Iron Maiden's true purpose is not the Exposed effect. Its the notification itself.

    When I think the iron maiden perk, I would love "bring your daughter to the slaughter" being played when a female survivor is being brought to a hook lol
