All Lockers spawn with an open latch on their door that Survivors can interact with to close it and lock the door.
Locked Lockers cannot be entered by Survivors and take priority when The Dredge teleports to them.

The Dredge can also break the lock from the outside by hitting it with a Basic Attack.

The fill rate is accelerated whenever The Dredge uses its Power and when Survivors are injured or hooked:
- Teleporting to the Remnant grants +10 Charges.

- Hiding inside a Locker grants +6 c/s.
- Each injured Survivor grants a stack-able +1 c/s, up to a maximum of +4 c/s.
