The Trapper (rework) I like to see

Barin

The Trapper is seen as weak, and the traps are too based on luck. He will only be seen on some skill levels. I want to make the trapper more consistent while still making him more fun to play and against.

What is the problem?

• Too territorial (basement/hooks)
• Too much luck is involved
• Too much time is required to use the traps

What is the goal?

• To make Trapper stronger and more involved
• To make Trapper more consistent
• To make Trials fast-paced

Trapper - Rework

Change

• Changed the functionality of placing Bear Traps (see Bear Traps below)
• Changed how Traps interact with Survivors (see Bear Traps below)
• Changed the way to retrieve Bear Traps (see Bear Traps below)
• Switched the luck-based mechanic when survivors try to free themselves from traps, to disarm the trap
• Disarming a trap has a 33% chance of failing, up to 3 attempts maximum

Bear Traps

• Removed the normal way to set Traps
• Gain the ability to throw Traps instead (4 meter range)
• The wind-up and throw duration is 0.5 seconds
• If the trap touches the ground, the trap is automatically armed after 5 seconds
• If the trap touches the survivor by any means, they become injured
• If the trap touches the survivor while they are injured, they become hindered for 30 seconds (5%)
• The trap is automatically removed if a survivor is hit by a Bear Trap
• The lost traps can be retrieved by going to the lockers
• If there are more than 8 traps placed, the first trap will be automatically destroyed.

Buffs

• The Trapper starts with all 8 Bear Traps (was 2)
• The Trapper can walk over Traps
• Increased darkness of the Traps

Nerfs

• Traps will not trigger while crouching
• Removed Haste after setting traps
• Increased the minimum distance between traps to 8 meters (was 1.5)
• Decreased the time to disarm a trap to 2 seconds (was 3.5)
• Added a cooldown of 5 seconds after setting a trap

Hopefully, this makes Trapper more fun and less frustrating. Thank you for reading.
