"with hands and teeth and never once did they look up to see heir kind and charismatic shepherd smiling down upon them with eyes that were cold, bleak and without pity."

Could someone please fix the typo: "heir" to "their." Thank you very much. 71.187.7.224 15:24, 20 May 2022 (UTC)R_a_s_p_b_e_r_r_y

About breaking locks on lockers

I'm not comfortable enough to just edit this in but I wanted to suggest an addition to the section Power: Reign of Darkness >> Special Interaction: Locking Lockers. I am fairly certain that, when the Dredge breaks a lock on a locker from the outside, it is considered an "Obstructed Hit". Adding this information would clarify why perks like Save the Best for Last, Unrelenting and Mad Grit have no effect on the cooldown. With the former - and the current phrasing just calling it a Basic Attack - one could assume breaking a lock is a "successful basic attack" which would make it seem like Save the Best for Last would apply, while the latter two explicitly state in their respective Trivia section that they won't work with Obstructed Hits. The Power Trivia section could also list the cooldown of the lock breaking attack: As an Obstructed Attack it takes 1.5 seconds (according to the Attacks article and my own measurements). I may be forgetting one but I think Dredge is also the only Killer to actually use Obstructed Hits as an intentional, beneficial part of their power - might be a neat trivia fact. -- Rannoch (talk) 13:38, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

While I agree in parts, I don't with the assessment that hitting a Locker could be mistaken as a successful Basic Attack has not understood the mechanics properly. A Basic Attack just means that it is an M1 attack not performed using the Killer's power. That alone also has no bearing on whichever cool-down will apply, that is solely determined by what the attack will hit. Did it hit a Survivor? --> successful. Did it hit a prop/obstacle? --> obstructed. Did it hit nothing at all? --> missed. Doc (talk) 14:47, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
I agree with your categorization; my thinking was to be clear for exactly those people that do not understand the term/mechanic properly yet. "Successful" might be ambiguous for them in this context as the attack achieved what it was meant to achieve: breaking the lock. But your edit now clarifies this beautifully, so thank you! -- Rannoch (talk) 16:56, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
