Is Iron Maiden any good as a general perk?

[😎Astran😾]

For example, I play mostly Spirit and Plague - can they use Iron Maiden effectively?

[Ugy Boogie]

It is very situational. Mostly used on killers who interact with lockers anyway, like Huntress and Trickster, for faster reloads.

[Nareth Erakian]

As said above, very useful for reloading.
Other than that, only on lower MMR when some people actualy hide in the locker. Besides that, it would only come in handy if some people go for locker-jukes, but usually they only do them when they're already hurt, so that won't make a difference either.

[RamboRusina]

It's pretty much only for Huntress with iri hatchets and maybe doc(since survivors can avoid blast with locker). Generally speaking not worth a perk slot at all.

[Evil Minіоn]

I found it surprisingly useful when I did Adept Legion but that was mostly because of stupid survivors thinking I couldn't track them in lockers.

It also helps with Head On builds and Blendettes who hide away and wait for hatch. But most of the time it comes in handy is in a "win more" situation. Other perks do more for you.

[Mewo]

It's only good on some killers, most commonly Trickster and Huntress. I imagine it could be okay on Artist seeing as people dodge her crows with lockers sometimes...

[lukois <3 m4rdin]

it's a pretty good counter to hiding from bbq and people getting flashbangs imo

[Boon: Bong Rip]

I use it on hillnilly sometimes (I have terrible perks from my tree so far) and I catch people who try to dodge the saw via lockers semi often. Really dependent on who you're facing and who you play as

Also works on Doctor. People hide in lockers if they think a Static Blast is coming.

[Illaoi Bot]

good for: huntress, trickster=faster reload

also good for : bubba and doc bec surv hide there to dodge your power


but good doesnt mean "good" with people sweating theyr ass of there are simply better perks to take if you start using iron maiden you soon will feel like your build has a huge hole in it which could be filled with better information,slowdown or lategame perks

[Null Winter]

Always good: Huntress and Trickster, for the faster reload

Sometimes good: Doctor and Nemesis

Gambling: Seeing a Jane or SWF Squad in the lobby and guessing they want to troll with Head-On

Lockers are the only way to block Doc's shocks and getting in a locker instantly breaks the pursuit AI of Nemmy's zombies. Doc is an M1 Killer anyways, so a source of Exposed with no cooldown that makes Survivors choose between two bad situations is extra valuable for him. For Nemesis, the scream on exiting will attract the zombie they were trying to get stuck in a corner and occasionally let you skip the triple whip.
