Iron Maiden should notify you when a survivor enters a locker and give the locker a yellow aura

That is all.

    So you'd rather Iron Maiden stay worthless forever?

    The idea of the perk isn't to make locker hiding useless for survivors, but incetivize locker searching as killer. Iron maiden helps when there are 2 lockers and you have to make a 50/50. When you check the first locker, the survivor jumps out and suffers from exposed and with the additional 50% search speed, it makes it possible to catch that survivors afterwards and down them in one hit.

    It also helps counter Head On and people who avoid BBQ aura with lockers.

    That is so, so situational. And not situational as in "This perk only works on certain maps" but "This perk only works on very specific locations on some maps while survivors are using certain perks not used often in a way that's easy to counter already". No perk should be that situational. And if they are, they should be better at handling the situation. I almost never have to search lockers mid-chase, so why would I ever run this? And once people realize you have it, they just wont enter lockers. So it will only work once per survivor (if the incredibly rare situation comes up), and if they are on comms, it will only work once total. Very weak.

    Most bad perks are situational. Doesn't mean we need to make lockers useless in a match just because of one perk. I agree the perk isn't good but this isn't the right way to buff it.

    So it should functionally eliminate the use of lockers?

    So youre making iron maiden similar way the perk discordance yeah no that makes alot of survivors perk useless like head on quick and quiet etc the only change that i make for iron maiden its 6s of aura reading only if the survivor gets out the locker and 30s of expose status effect and the speed by searching on lockers will be the same
