Thoughts on Trappers buff?

Good or not good enough? Could the trapper sack with 10 traps on hand be problematic? Still the worst killer in the game?

I'm going to try him out but playing killer these days I tend to start the game for it only to change my mind and play survivor as always. But Trapper is my all time favorite so hope the buff takes him out of the worst killer position..but doubt it.

Basement Trapper is probably still the best strategy? And I can't see the need for 2 more traps for it and the haste seems situational? So yeah idk.

    I think it's better than most people are giving it credit for.

    It can be pretty silly at loops if you run the add-on that lets you step in your own traps.

    I sadly couldn't test it yet (and won't be able to for a while) but I think this is pretty impactful overall. 10 traps, haste after setting up a trap and traps spawning closer to gens won't make him the best killer in the game but could go up a few placements on the tier list.

    It will definitely make him better than Myers (without Tombstone Piece) and Freddy. Maybe even stronger than Clown? But that is a bit of a stretch.

    Good. Definitely good. It's not everything that Trapper needs, he's still a flawed and weak killer, but it definitely elevates him pretty noticeably and that shouldn't be overlooked.

    Basement Trapper is probably still going to be the best strategy but, let's face it, putting survivors in the basement and trying to camp it is pretty strong as a tactic for almost any killer. What this does is better enable him to be aggressive and mobile, which is a positive. Try using the green setting speed addon and the Coffee Grounds if you haven't already, it's kinda nuts.
