Dredge counter?

[SevenDeadlySins]

What are ways you guys successfully play against him? I just got back after taking another much needed break from this game. But I feel like the two matches I have had against him were just impossible to do. He is very fast, im guessing to counter pallet stuff... but at the same time if he places his teleport ability on the other side it takes pallets out of the game completely. The one we had caught up super fast to the point I questioned hacking, but clearly thats just his movement... no? So I wonder how people deal with him as a solo survivor.

you can counter the teleport ability by going through the black fog he leaves behind. also you can lock the lockers so when he'll teleport to it he'll take time to break the lock. also just try not to get injured since it builds up nightfall fast of course it's hard when u play solo que but that's just how the game is

Yeah I know about the locker bit, its funny because I still see people hiding in the lockers and him just insta getting them. I didnt realize the mist part so that might help a bit, though admittedly they teleport to it pretty fast so I dont think speed wise id make it before them.

also i forgot to mention im a killer main so im saying all that from killers perspective. when you see dredge charging a teleport if you see a different loop near just go there. the killer will lose some time cuz they were setting up a mind game and cuz charging teleport slows you down a bit so yeah just hold w when you can. also if you see dredge chasing other survivors you can help by destroying the mist.

Dredge isn't really know to be a speedy chaser, so it might have been hacking for all that we know. Teleportation to lockers saves time moving around the map and accomplish killer tasks quicker. On some maps it might also be useful to cut chases shorter. It's more about efficiency in that sense.

For survivors holding W is already enough of a counter. If you look behind yourself whilst being chased even better. At palette loops dredge is a fairly basic M1 killer, except for a little mind gaming with his ability. In these cases just keep running and forget about the loop to play it safe.

Trust me few things are more frustrating for a dredge player than teleporting after a hook and seeing the next survivor running off in the distance. Game awareness is key against him.

often survivors lock 2 lockers next to each other. that makes no sense. if dredge joins he can open the other one after the port. if you lock just one. you can lock the other and you delay his port to the same spot another time. hope that helps. as soemoene already meantioned. its hard in solo q. if tehre is a mate that will lock the other one too. its gg

Biggest thing about extending the chase with a Dredge has already been said earlier, but repetition is fun.

While looping him, if you see him leave behind the foggy mess, that's the cue to run to the next loop, the remnant makes continuing to stay at that loop dangerous, and the Dredge slows down a bit while the shadow's out there. Take that slowdown time to book it

As an occasional Dredge player? The best way to counter him is to get the lockers to spawn in such a way that half of his kit is nonfunctional :')
