Are there cheats that allow killers to see survivors in lockers?
Maybe its just pure luck, I have disregard it when I first started, but now knowing the game quite well, I don't understand how these two games against legion and they find me in a locker instantly even when I have full health and they are coming from a far enough distant that they can't see me go in. They didn't even hesitate or look around the area, just straight up walk to the locker and open it or even right after they hit someone then walk to the locker.

Are they using Feral Frenzy when they find you? Killer Instinct is not an aura, so it works in lockers.

Yep, hitting in Frenzy is the reason for this. I love doing this because it's something most people don't expect.

Legion can see the beating heart (it's called "killer instinct") of any survivor within their terror radius while using frenzy (Legion's power).
Lockers only block auras, not your beating heart. That's why Legion can see you inside lockers after hitting someone using their frenzy power.
If you see someone got hit with frenzy which is indicated by the orange bar below their names and you're inside the terror radius just run away in a perfectly straight line.

Its their Feral Frenzy effect, this effect is given to The Legion when they hit someone when FF is active. Once they hit someone, it gives them a semi-accurate notification that alerts The Legion where other Survivors are nearby.
This is why he finds you in lockers when he hits someone first before coming to you, its because you're giving off a notification when hes in Feral Frenzy mode. He can only see this notification once he hits someone first during the powers activation, he can't see it when he just activated it.
Edit: The Notification FF gives when Legion hits someone with his power isn't a aura, its a notification, my bad.

Others already explained above. It's always been like that. Before the nerf it was OP. But now after the legion nerf, it's manageable. FF seeing you in lockers was the only OP aspect that has no counterplay that was not nerfed. with the other nerfs, the locker viewing is manageable.

PS, in general, you should pretty much never use lockers versus Huntress or legion. fyi. Except if it is just to block BBQ, then it's understandable. Otherwise it's pretty foolish, since legion can see you, and huntress visits lockers so often.

It's technically not an aura. If it were an aura, you wouldn't see them in lockers.

Its a type of aura, a sub-aura. Tbh, it could be a notification honestly. Like how people fail skill-checks or fast vault, etc.
It's really a unique thing that only Legion has. I call it, the "Spider web aura effect" but saying that above is a mouthful lmao.

It's misleading to categorize it as an aura because it doesn't work like one, that's all.
Calling it a notification would be a good description.
I just call it heartbeat, since it acts like it.

I'll fix it above, since you're right that its not technically a aura.

I do like the fact that it was introduced with Legion, because boy does it work, especially with Susie's mask.

Exactly, it helps a lot with grabbing Survivors out of lockers, and in-general FF chain-stabbing. Without it, it'd be really hard to chain-stab Survivors.

Yep. I like that mechanic a lot. Wouldn't want it changed, with exception being maybe on corn maps. XP

Either way, its a good effect to help with FF.

Absolutely. They have the components for a good killer there, it's just a shame they messed up the execution and response to it.
