Survivor Opinion: Is Dredge “Oh Boy!” or “DC”?

He's fine-ish. Only issues I've had is when they chill out in a locker next to hook. And the fact I can't see ######### on certain naturally darker maps. Same applies as playing as him, on certain maps, darkness does jack diddly. Super limited by locker spawns on maps like Coldwind or Swamp.

Yup, I'm the same. I'm already bad at looping, Nightfall just makes me want to sit in a locker for its duration.

I think people that complain about nightfall are overreacting. I was easily able to make it to tiles while being basically blinded just because I took 2 seconds to look around me before nightfall started.

I like him. I think he’s in a pretty good spot right now. Nightfall doesn’t bother me, it’s useful but I don’t find it annoying to go against.

As a killer, I love him- but not sure how I would react as a survivor. With increased BP during the event, I can run the purple that gives you two free nightfalls (and the green that extends nightfall for 20 seconds) every single match (plus corrupt and other gen slowdowns). I have to imagine that spending half the match in Nightfall is super annoying, even when it doesn’t cause an actual medical issue.

I have really bad vision issues too. I love the idea of a killer who can suddenly make things dark and you have to try and find a generator, another surviver, or even try and be stealth until nightfall is over. What I found helps is that I always have Bond regardless of what map it is, so if the map is darker and I'm facing a Dredge, that helps me see where everyone is and I can get to a generator. I definitely understand why nightfall can be a problem for poorly sighted pepple or people with other medical conditions though. I wouldn't be able to face 10 Dredge's at once.

I have Windows of opportunity, so I'll add that on my more worse eye days. And I'm a console player, so I can't use any filters other than the ones on my TV. I don't mind having 1 Aura reading perk that takes up my perk slots. Bond is more helpful because I can see what everyone is doing too, so nightfall is at least countered in that way for me. :)

"can't use any filters" - that's your problem lol.

My eyes are old but they work "ok". Funny enough having slightly blurry vision can actually help you see motion better. I am glad there are some perks that make the game work for you.

It's funny you say that because SC, SC and IW are getting completely gutted (my other perk is SB). That's the perks I have used for 6 years. I'm probably going to retire survivor when the changes go live. I dont like moving my camera behind me as I run forward - that's what I use SC for. When you have been using it as long as I have you know exactly what the killer is doing by how your cat flickers.

I'm probably not going to play killer either because I predict it will be even worse than it is now. At least right now we have very strong generator defense perks.

I completely understand. A lot of people with visual and hearing disabilities have mentioned SC being the best perk for them. Another perk did the same thing where if you were staring at the killer, you would get a visual and auditory warning. With SC, of course I do agree that having it light up on stealth killers defeats the purpose of stealth killers in that they're not supposed to be seen, but to make it line of sight only for every killer makes things more complicated. I do hope they make some adjustments to the SC rework for those in the community who need it to be able to play.

Automatic suicide so I don't get DC penalty. I've got sensory issues that make the screaming of Nightfall unbearable to manage so I have to turn off sound because it's so loud. I've got colorblindness issues which when combined with the darkness make an already dark and hard to play game basically impossible. Ormond is maybe the only map it's tolerable on. Playing the game without sound or image isn't scary, it's that thing where you handed your little brother an unplugged controller so he felt like he was playing too. Except the controller is plugged in, you just can't use it.

Do the colorblind filters in the options menu help? For me I also remembered that I'm glad nightfall doesn't last all match, because the screaming would bother me in a sensory way too. It's good to see a lot of the community who have these issues speak out about it. It's a shame that you have to get out of the game quickly as soon as you know that you're facing a Dredge though.

He's easy to win against and interesting to verse, what's not to like?

to me it's "sigh at least it'll be over quickly"

Nightfall is really annoying. This could get some changes.

Otherwise, I am fine with playing against Dredge.

You can walk into the remnant to destroy it. But again use your best judgememt as his ability to teleport back to it means its a bit of a mindgame. I do advise looping tiles together as opposed to sticking around one but watch out if you do it too often the dredge player will catch on and fake using the remnant.

Fun to play and go against. I just bought the dredge recently and he's just such a breath of fresh air for killer gameplay. Just a really solid kit all around and it feels good to play, at least to me. You can have some really fun builds that make survivors feel that on-edge horror feeling, which is an area this game really needed again. I've just been meme'ing for the last of the event, and one fun build that has entertained me is Knockout, Plaything, Corrupt, and Third Seal with nightfall buildup addons.

I have Misophonia and the woman screaming and moaning causes me to have a panic attack so yes, I can definitely say that I hate playing against The Dredge. Remove the nightfall sounds and he's a treat to play against, except they're not going to remove the most likely, so I have to rely on my friends talking over the game audio anytime we go in nightfall. And since soloq doesn't allow me to do that, I have to blast music in my ears over my game audio to not hear it.

If it only did like one scream, and just the echo the moaning here and there, I'd have no problem, but because it's repetitively it gets to me.
