Traps under pallets query

Knotty1985 · March 22

As a survivor I noticed during a game today that no matter how close I got to the trap only the "drop pallet" option would appear so I was unable to disarm the trap. I don't recall this being an issue before and didn't see anything mentioned about it among the patch notes (or via search) so wondered if this is being noticed by others. While its got its good points for killers, that paired with the addon that downs a survivor on release of a trap is pretty OP.

It could be one time glitch sometimes there has been issues where the trap is not the same spot on all instances. Like when you play this game there is six instances game server, killer and four survivors all having their instances of how the match is. Some rare situations there can be something that causes some reason your instance get unsynched with the others so for you the trap is there for another its meter the other way. Like one of the most common one to see this kind of thing happening is with pallets. Sometimes in very rare instances the server might think that pallet was not dropped but on the client side on the person it did drop. So now when that survivor goes near the pallet and walks into it they will glitch through it or the others can just move through it with no problem.

So most likely your issue was one of these kind of instances where the data gets mismatched. This would need some testing to find out but as you seem to be only one so far recently to bring this kind of problem in the spotlight it at least is not the most known bug if it indeed is a bug.
