Skeletons in the Closet
I'm wondering something, about survivors. We have icon indicators now for almost everything with interactions with this and that doing much like when Gens and the progress are worked on, or such as when a survivor is interacting with a chest, or messing with a Killer's item, Totem Hex or Blessing a Totem. When they're being carried and then hooked or slugged. But one aspect of the game is dealing with survivors who deny they hide in lockers all trial. When will we actually get THAT indicator. A simple icon of a locker a survivor is in (not that it needs to show which one exactly) that shows they were hiding all that time. Settling arguements when confronted about the deed. WOULD anybody actually care for such an idea?

I don't think it would be necessary for solving an argument, but may be a nice thing just to know what your teammates are doing so you can react accordingly.

So long as we get a different icon for when a survivor is in a locker with Head On equipped and charged so I stop getting sandbagged for trying to save their asses during a chase I'm all for it (and Inner Strength too ig)

Thats an excellent addition to this, i didnt even think of Head On. I simple wish to know if a mate (since i solo q) is in a locker, while i die on hook unneccessarily 😖

Or better yet just show us what perks other survivors have like they do in mobile T-T

This won’t happen because it’ll cause survivors to lobby dodge as much as killers do, if not more.

I would actually like the locker to glow yellow (not aura yellow but a pretty sparkly yellow) when someone with Head On has it active. It’ll be hard to notice an icon when in chase.

Off topic, Skeletons in the Closet would be an amazing name for a perk

I've been trolled when using locker perks (ie Built to Last, Inner Strength, Head On) before. I actually avoid using them for that reason. I feel like this would exacerbate the issue and just cause fights in endgame.

You might be up to something there. When I first skimmed this topic I thought "yeah, that would be useful", but I am pretty sure that the peeps at BHVRs also thought and discussed about something like this and they also had second thoughts about endgame or trolls and survivors in lockers.
That being said, a lot of perks could actually use some indicator ... like Steves Cameradry, if that one would show an icon or something, even soloQ survivors could do a little drivebye and waste a proxy camping killers time, but right basically never gets value with soloQ players.

Like @Nazzzak said, it would likely lead to more trolling. The HUD is meant to allow survivors to potentially work together, not as a way to access the way the other survivors played. They could add something to the HUD where a survivor was in a locker and something was happening (i.e. Head On), though I doubt they'd do something like when there are lot more major additions to do.

I once watched a Feng immediately get into a locker the very instant the trail started. Why? She was doing her "adept" (needless to say, she didn't get it).
Players this shameless won't give a hoot about your icon. I for one don't care if anyone sees me cleansing a dull totem for the easy BP instead of getting on the next generator (I'm still a decent teammate, I promise).
Also, you can tell if someone is in a locker by their missing aura while you're on the hook. You bet I'm hiding in there till you die if we're the last two alive and I think the Billy's got BBQ & Chili. What would an icon achieve in this situation? It's not going to stop anyone from getting into a locker if they want to.

I'm sorry but if there's a survivor out there who'd lobby dodge at a perk build I'm not sure I'd want to be matched up with them in the first place.
Unless the perks in question are Weaving Spiders/No Mither, those two can rot.

We also do not have a visual for doing Glyphs either, it would be nice.

Tbf if I see someone running Distortion + Self-care with no other ways to increase healing speed I'm not sure I'd want to play either

Ig it's just my perspective cause that honestly sounds hilarious to me. Imagine being in a Solo Q Squad watching a Feng with Deadline + Autodidact get matched with a Skillcheck Doctor
