Do All Lockers Cause Blindness Now?

I keep getting blindness when hiding in lockers and I just watched a video where someone got blindness hiding in a locker but they didnt show the end screen killer's perks. I went against a leigon using Iron Maiden once and that made sense. But then I had 2 plagues who didn't have IM know where I was exactly even though I went in outside their TR and FOV and I got blindness.

Is there some kinda new bug that tells killers when someone's in a locker even if they don't have IM? Am I the only one experiencing this or did those Plagues just have some good luck?

    No, blindness now gets applied to you when you go in any locker. Before you could just sit in a locker and use Object of Obsession and the killer wouldn't be able to see you. This was the fix.

    Yes, all lockers cause blindness since it's only fair that the killer can't read your aura at the cost of you being unable to read any auras.

    All lockers make you blind. Blame CWF abusing OoO when lockers got buffed.

    This is an intended change for al lockers. After they made it so that hiding in them prevents others from seeing your aura, they added this to balance it out. You cannot see auras while inside (aka Blindness effect).

    As for those games, if you meant that those Killers found you while you were inside of those lockers, Iron Maiden does not work like that. It notifies the Killer when you exit the locker, not when you enter it. There is no perk that gives you that information other than properly timed aura reading that showed them you going inside the locker.

    There is also the fact that if you are infected and go inside the locker, said locker will turn green as if Plague had puked on it. So, that is another thing that could have happened.

    ...Leaving aside locker hides that wont work because they are predictable.

    Thanks guys!

    Locker hides do work! You just gotta not try to end chases too suddenly (mindfk the killeer a couple times first) or avoid a chase near a generator with them if the locker is in such a convenient spot. At least that's my rule. Tbh though I was playing on the plagues map fo the leigon and plagues and those were my first times on her map so I dunno yet till I play killer there which lockers are the most predictable.

    Lockers are amazing, and anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. They're the ultimate hiding spot because nobody searches them.
