Trapper Guide pls
Hello, can someone help me to understand how to play the trapper?
I feel punished for picking him.
He can only carry one trap (I usually play Hag 10 Traps .)
I have to patrol all the gens and walk across half of the map to pick up a trap.
What is your experience with him and what advice would you give, without being reliant on add ons?

I agree that the trapper needs a buff, carrying only one trap is painful. I usually use the faster setting time and bags add-ons when playing him. Always put your traps in tall grass, unless you are trying some kind of mind game, try to trap near pallets or in some places you think they might go to. Try to lure them to go towards your traps, for example if your trap is on your left try to go towards the right of the survivor so they might go that way, it doesn't always work but sometimes it does. Trapper is very underpowered and needs some buffs.
If you have more question even about other killers you can ask me

You feel punished for picking himbecause you are.
He is one of the weakest killers.If you can bring someone to the basement and trap up the place really good, then you can make sth happen (assuming the survivors are overaltruistic)

I usually manage to get 4ks with him, but the traps are usually pretty useless, I can maybe catch one or two in them during a match but that's it. Sometimes I do get crushed tho.

4k with trapper means that the survivors were bad.
You even admit it, the traps are useless and he is a M1 solely.He needs a rework as desperately as freddy, since the SWF introduction he simply is not viable anymore

I agree completely. I think that to make him a little better so that he doesn't feel as frustrating it would be enough to let him carry at least 2 traps as a base and have more traps on the map, this would be fine by me until they come up with a decent rework

Thank you for your comments and tips!
My fear, that he requires add-ons has come true.
The concept is nice and he is the posterboy for DBD, sadly he is not viable without add-ons.
I would love to play him more, but there are better m1 killers out there and with the genrushing meta I simply don't find the time to wander around the map and collect traps, sorry a trap.0 -

I agree, his invisibility is much more intuitive to use and fun to control the map, because new player have troubles to see his shimmer.
I also like how his add-ons enables you to play differently.
Be fast with windstorm or use all-seeing and there is no more hiding ect.
With trapper I feel forced to use add-ons only to be able to play him conveniently.
Maybe I am just spoiled with the Hag and her 10 traps, but I really like the fantasy to outsmart the survivors by planning ahead and cutting their escape path off. Unfortunately in this fast paste game-meta this is no longer viable.
I would love to use the trappers trap more offensively instead of solely camping the basement or some specific choke point.
3-5 Traps would feels amazing!
And maybe some faster pick up or rearming traps on the ground.
Right now, if you already have a trap on you and you would like to rearm one other, you have to put your trap down, pick the trap, that you would like to rearm, up, place the trap at the exact same point, go back to your initial trap and pick it up again.
That are 4 animations! 2s per animation you already used 8s solely to rearm a trap!

Always use a bag add on.
Get creative with trapping loops. Don't put them just on pallets.
Learn to make survivors go where you want them to.
