Dredge Perks

The Dredge perks are very helpful with keeping up with survivors after injuring them and Darkness Revealed is a very powerful perk with the powers the Dredge uses, which is the next thing to note when playing the Dredge.

Reign of Darkness

The first part of the Dredge’s Reign of Darkness power is to understand how to teleport. The Dredge can use the ability button to teleport to any locker it is looking at and leave behind a remnant. The Dredge can then teleport back to the remnant, teleport to another locker on the map by consuming a power token, or can exit the locker.

The Nightfall ability in the Reign of Darkness power will be one of your best weapons against survivors. The Nightfall meter will rise anytime you injure a survivor, hook a survivor, or teleport. Once the meter is full, Nightfall automatically activates, plunging survivors into complete darkness with only the Dredge visible. Use this ability to quickly teleport between lockers and chase survivors without them able to see anything.
