All I want for Christmas is for locker perks to work with Dredge's power
Title. It's extremely selfish, but I would love it if Ultimate Weapon, Darkness Revealed, and Iron Maiden all worked with Dredge entering/exiting lockers.
"But wouldn't it be super OP if Dredge could see you near a locker any time he exited one? Doesn't that make Lavalier Microphone useless?"
-Someone, probably
Lavalier gives you total aura reading after your third locker teleport, so it's already basically useless unless you're scaring people with the secondary locker-slam effect. Darkness Revealed would be at best situationally useful, given that the aura read isn't very strong unless you're on Midwich(Which is already Dredge's best map). So unless you manually enter a locker(An action that requires easy access to a locker and a several-second animation), you gain no more benefit than you would by running lavalier and teleporting three times.
"Iron maiden making you exit lockers faster would completely destroy any form of counterplay with locking lockers!"
-Person who has seen Dredge once in the last 2 months
Untrue. Iron Maiden would halve the lock breaking from 2.25 seconds to 1.12 seconds, yes, but this is a complete sacrifice of a perk slot that could go to gen regression, chase perks, BBQ and chili, half of Furtive Friends, etc., etc.. It's a sacrifice of a perk slot that ultimately mitigates very little. If your chase from a generator is determined by the difference of 1.12 seconds, that's a Survivor fault. It would also alleviate the need for Dredge players to run only Haddie's Calendar non-stop, which is basically required to play Dredge unless you like fighting the urge to pull your teeth out with a set of rusty pliers.
"I have Ultimate Weapon PTSD!"
-Survivor who has Ultimate Weapon PTSD
I'm sorry for your loss.
Ultimate Weapon would be the least beneficial of all these perks to run on Dredge if they activated on locker exit/entry - If you're exiting the locker, you already know that survivors are nearby. That's why you exited the locker in the first place. Never mind that its worth is rendered moot in Nightfall, when you have no terror radius to begin with. Which is a real shame, because Blindness as a status effect is severely underrated.
