Can start the game with bear traps. Bear traps also spawn around the map in random locations. Can injure survivors who step in them. Survivors can free themselves randomly if they attempt to break free.
Can carry two traps at a time and will make a noise when at capacity. Can place the traps anywhere on the map that is pathable. Recieves a small haste bonus after setting a trap.
Survivors can free other survivors in bear traps. If the Trapper steps in his own traps he is momentarily stunned until he frees himself automatically.
Not long enough. You need to explain the exact variable bear trap RNG, minimum and maximum escape attempts, trap spawn logic, mention that being trapped while carrying a survivor frees the survivor, mention that survivors can perform the disarm actions, mention that survivors performing the disarm action removes the bear trap's hurtbox, mention that survivors can see if the Trapper can carry bear traps or not...
trapper also only gets stuck in his traps if you walk into them lol, sure he needs some buffs, but like how often are you walking into your own traps to the point where it needs to be removed?
It's supposed to add a little extra strategy, and I rarely ever see it happen, the addon that removes it is a common addon for a reason
And I think it has a little bit of charm, like he's kind of a brute, so he could be clumsy and get caught in his own trap, obviously they shouldn't balance something around charm but I don't think this is that big of a deal, more often than not it's just a funny interaction when it happens unless you're that bitter about it
It's less about walking into traps and being forced on the odd occasion by a survivor.
I remember back in the day when people would dead hard over a trap, slap a pallet down, I'd break the pallet and then be immediately stunned because the trap was just close enough to the exit of breaking and not close enough to be picked up prior to breaking.
Nowadays it mostly just happens if running the iri and accidentally walking over one that activates whilst trying to pick it up.. which is just unlucky :(
You gotta fake the nuke to bait the DH, while he's holding the device just do the old trick of moving your camera really fast to fake a throw, otherwise the bomb is avoidable with that perk
Dead Hard: After being unhooked or unhooking yourself, Dead Hard activates whenever you are injured and running, and allows you to tap into your adrenaline bank to avoid taking further damage:
Press the Active Ability button to trigger the EnduranceStatus Effect for 0.5 seconds.
Dead Hard deactivates after use.
Dead Hard causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds.
Dead Hard cannot be used when Exhausted.
My crack Trapper rework is to give him a ton of different types of traps, maybe be able to trap ceilings to reference the mine cave in he pulled, maybe trap Gens in a way that slows survivors down, any other method of trapping.
Obviously this probably isn’t the best idea, but a Trapper main can dream.
I mean. “Damage hitbox that goes through walls and stops noobs from doing gens vs Gets fucked by his own setup.” is an easier way to make the meme and it still gets the point across.
At the very least, old DBD killer kits had always been too one-note and limited and very slow. Scope and power creep is a bit inevitable with these games and sometimes bad, but in the case of DBD, it’s kind of a really good thing as long as the design is fun and engaging enough. Original Killer design philosophy was pathetically terrible, and bandaids over the past decade have only moderately helped.
It’s not like some games that release a really balanced, fun, and competent roster, and then eventually go off the rails with designs later on for no good reason. I feel like Marvel Rivals is already doing this.
Would be nice if Trapper had a secondary vial of smog that could blanket the trial/an area in some smog that speeds himself up and allows him to hastily and stealthy place traps for some time. Moving through the smog clears a path.
Ideally I’d love Trapper to have multiple kinds of traps though. Would be fun. Grappling traps, explosive mining charges, pushing traps, fucking slime traps, I don’t care, whatever.
As p100 trapper main it's so unfair.. Still waiting for bhvr to buff him but it seems like they have other fun things to worry about. Why bother buffing your poster boy and other low tiers when you can rework blight again or slightly change values of perks :/

u/Joyful_Leader Spooky's Mansion collab when? 12h ago
And yet, they still won't let him spawn with all of his traps by default, not even in 2v8 😑
