What is "dull" key? Anyone would can help me ?

[JokeOnYou]

I found in a box but I dont know how can I use this...

Edit: thanks for answers. Also, what is "black lock" ?

[Versusia]

You can use it to unlock the locked escape hatch aka "trapdoor"
It spawns under specific circumstances however.
The key by itself has a much smaller charge of only 5 seconds (compared to 30 of the Skeleton's Key) but other then that it's completely identical.

What do you mean by small charge? My Claudette survivor has gotten addons mentioning a key I was clueless. I am brand new.

Normally you use a key to open the hatch, since normally it only opens when there's one person left alive and a certain number of generators are powered. But the dull key doesn't. Instead, you put addons on the dull key, and only then does it do something. The addons can be pretty good, like seeing the killer's aura in a 32m range. Hold M2 to use the addons you've put on. Doing so uses some of the key, like how healing with a medkit uses it.

Oh so if you have the key and find the hatch, you can just instantly escape? Thats cool I didn't know a bit about that, none of the streamers I researched mentioned it. So it spawns randomly in the chests?

Sorta'. Dull keys do not open the hatch. Only skeleton keys, the more rare version, do.

Dull keys were added because people had buttloads of skeleton key addons, but couldn't use them because skeleton keys are so rare and powerful. Basically dull keys allow you to use the key addons without being able to open the hatch.

But yes, all the key types will spawn in chests randomly.

And also it will appear in your bloodweb...

Well since I am new and have yet to last more then 5 minutes vs a killer I might need to look out for these things. Thanks for the helpful info.

Just Have Fun guys

I beg your pardon, but Dull Keys DO open hatch. The violet ones.
The Broken Keys do not, the green ones.

Skeleton Key and Dull Key opens the hatch, Broken key does not open it.

Dull key is the purple one and I can confirm it opens hatches. I did this a couple days ago. I think you have it confused with the Broken Key, which is green

Note that Dull Key is listed on this page as being able to open the black lock (hatch)
