"Like a dark thought, The Dredge is difficult to shake.
And when night falls, it is nearly impossible."


SPECIAL ABILITY: DELUGE OF FEAR
The Dredge starts the Trial with 3 Tokens.

Press and hold the Power button to activate The Gloaming while leaving a Remnant behind:

  • Reduces its Movement speed to 3.8 m/s.

  • Removes the ability to attack or interact with Survivors or interact with Props.



SPECIAL LOCOMOTION: THE GLOAMING
While roaming the environment in this state, the AurasIconHelp aurasIconHelp aurasIconHelp auras of all LockersIconHelp lockersIconHelp lockersIconHelp lockers are revealed to The Dredge

Press the Secondary Power button to consume -1 Token and teleport into any Locker at a speed of 19 m/s.
Press it again while inside a Locker to teleport into another Locker until all Tokens are consumed.

Press the Attack button to cancel The Gloaming and instantly return to the Remnant, if it is still available.
The Remnant is removed after the first teleport or when a Survivor collides with it.

The Gloaming has a cool-down of 10 seconds during Daytime and 4 seconds during Nightfall.

SPECIAL INTERACTION: HIDING INSIDE LOCKERS
After teleporting to a Locker The Dredge sits inside it and can observe the environment outside.
While there is no time limit to this, nearby Survivors will hear a warning sound after 8 seconds have elapsed.

Press the Interaction button to exit the Locker.

If The Dredge teleports into a Locker already occupied by a Survivor, it will trap the Survivor and emerge from the Locker carrying them.
This also happens when a Survivor interacts with a Locker in any way that is already occupied by The Dredge.

SPECIAL INTERACTION: LOCKING LOCKERS
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 takes 2.25 seconds to open a Locked Locker from the inside, making a lot of noise in the process.
Once The Dredge emerges from a Locked Locker, its lock is broken permanently.
The Dredge can also break the lock from the outside by hitting it with a Basic Attack.

SPECIAL AFFLICTION: NIGHTFALL
The Nightfall Meter fills passively at a rate of +0.25 c/s during Daytime.
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.

  • Hooking a Survivor or injuring them with a Basic Attack grants +20 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.


Once the Nightfall Meter is full at 300 Charges, Nightfall begins and lasts for 60 seconds, forcing Survivors to navigate the environment in near-total darkness while The Dredge benefits from clearer vision and several effects:
  • Grants the UndetectableIconStatusEffects undetectableIconStatusEffects undetectableIconStatusEffects undetectable Status Effect.

  • Increases its Teleporation speed to 38 m/s.

  • Reduces the Cool-down duration of The Gloaming to 4 seconds.

  • Survivors trigger Killer Instinct within 16 metres of Lockers occupied by The Dredge or The Remnant upon returning to it.
