I haven't been playing since December because of personal PC Issues that caused DbD to run at an inconsistently fluctuating 10-30fps when before it ran at a solid 80-100 FPS, which I just fixed at 11 pm yesterday (turns out it was a bad Ram Dimm/stick/whatever you call it), so I was REALLY looking forward to getting in and playing the new killer, and enjoying the ones I loved playing such as Doc, Plague, and... Dredge...

WTAF? Why is Dredge of all killers Kill switched? "You shouldn't a done that, he's just a boy, poor little feller"

    I can tell you what I believe it is. I ran into a bug with him on patch day. First nightfall he became completely invisible after teleporting to a locker. Was looking right in the direction of the sound, it got so loud he had to be standing on me. I let go of the totem I was booning and whap, hit by a killer I still could not see. I couldn't see him again until he teleported to a new locker. Pretty sure invisible Dredge was not in the character's design intentions.

    He had a bug that made him invisible. Hopefully he'll be fixed soon, but knowing behaviour, probably not.

    So... they finally made Dredge scary, but unintentionally.

    Sigh, kinda sad I missed out on playing Dredge while this bug was fresh. j/k

    Seriously though, yeah, I can totally see why Dredge was kill switched now. Just like how Demogorgon, Hag, or GF was when they had a similar bug (GF was particularly nasty). Having an invisible killer isn't fun for survivors and removes so many mind games that it's practically cheating.

    Still though, It's always been my Opinion that Dredge was done dirty by his 20m directional audio. I wouldn't mind it so much if it remained directional in normal mode, but switched to omnidirectional (like Freddy or Huntress) during Nightfall. To me that's the only thing keeping Dredge from being a truly scary killer... ok, so no, that's not fully right, there's also the RNG locker problem! Still, just giving Dredge omnidirectional sound during Nightfall wouldn't break the game, and just make Dredge a much more scary IMO. They can work on the RNG locker issue later 😋

    Thanx for the explanation guys, and a quick explanation at that. Because of you, I just looked up a vid on YT that showcases it. Admittedly, I probably should've looked there first before making an ass of myself with this post, but y'know, often times when something goes wrong in this game, these forums are the first to know about it.

    Thank you again for responding and helping me understand that the devs aren't just picking on my boy/girl/thing Dredge.
