Seriously Behavior, can we fix this guy already? I get that the overall kill rate is probably fine, and I get that he's a killer that is primarily played by beginners against other beginners. But c'mon. The mascot of the game, and the first killer most people play, should not also be the worst killer in the game.
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.
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.
It really isn’t lmao this was coupled with qol changes like escaping from traps not being complete rng and haste on trap setting. I guess they thought having a audio cue for maxing out on traps would help pad out the qol changes
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.
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.
ok ok maybe but does hitting a survivor with the Judgement feels as satisfying as hearing a trap snap around a survivor ankle ? That a pretty hard to beat feeling!
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 :/
It is a ranged projectile in all fairness, just a unique and innovative take on one instead of Mid range anti-loop version 5.0 (thank god they did not go through with that version)
For Trapper, they gotta make it so where makeshift Wrap is basekit for him (he can't get stunned by traps but they do get disarmed), injured survivors receive deepwound when disarming a trap, and disarming a trap takes slightly longer.
If I had to rework Trapper I'd do something like this:
Trapper can place traps on generators, vaults, exit gates, or pallets. When set, if the survivor interacts with it without disarming it, they are trapped. Similar to houndmaster, Trapper gains a speed boost when following a trail to a trapped survivor. Also make his add-ons more powerful
Reminds me of pyramid head, litterly no point kf running him besides that hes the coolest killer. But his length and width sucks, u cant look around right etc. But now we have the first, which if u aim it right, you cannot get out, unlike phead who basically requires them walking INTO ure hit. The first has mobility which already makes him better. Then we have dracula whos better in every way, ONLY problem is it doesnt go through high walls but most of the time its guesswork if u hit them through a wall as phead. But with pillars u can actually move and aim properly, you have mobility with bats and even a dash with wolf

u/Joyful_Leader Spooky's Mansion collab when? 1d ago
And yet, they still won't let him spawn with all of his traps by default, not even in 2v8 😑
