My last two matches on ps4 I placed traps after the gate was open but the survivors were still out in fields. I. E, not the doorway. Both times said players ran out the door with traps still on their heads, escapings to freedom. Am I doing something wrong? Do the traps have to be placed before the countdown?

I'm still just a baby pig but its hard to get any points if I cant work my trap things lol.

    traps must be placed before the last gen pops. putting a trap on their head when the exit gates are open wont kill them.

    Oooh gotcha. Thanks for answering. :) I figured it had to be me doing something wrong but for the life of me I couldnt figure out what.

    Traps get activated each time a generator is finished. So once all generators are finished, any leftover traps You have become useless.

    It used to be a thing, that traps would automatically activate when You put them on survivors when all generators are finished, but I think they removed that mechanic when they introduced Endgame Collapse, as it made Pig's endgame too strong, I think?

    And about running out of the door, trap will only explode when it's active. If it's unactive, survivors are free to run out.

    Yeah, they disabled the Endgame traps. Just gotta be more aggressive with them now to slow down the early game instead.
