Explanation

Slasher's Jumpscare causes Survivors INSIDE of lockers to scream. (Not Survivors getting into/out of a locker. Fully inside of a locker.)
Nothing else in this entire game causes Survivors to scream while within a locker. Jumpscare shouldn't be doing this either.
Jumpscare is buggy and inconsistent at the best of times, but this is a very basic mechanic that has long since been in the game. Lockers can and will block screaming from: Doctor's shock attacks, Friends trying to switch Obsessions, Ultimate Weapon, Infectious Fright, Phantom Fear, and many, many more sources. Jumpscare is supposed to function the same way, but doesn't.
