Im sorry but....
We are against a trapper and you get hooked in the basement, more likely then not, i am not coming to get you.
If you are in the basement and someone steps in a trap around the basement, you can be certain I am not coming to get you.
If i am in the basement against a trapper, i expect you to leave me be. I will hang and struggle for the maximum amount of time possible so you can work towards escaping.

That should be expected. Trapper gets a lot of power from basement. If I'm in basement please just do gens and leave. 1 death is better then 4.
(Unless they are not camping then maybe).

Snip snap, the trapper's back! And now your whole team's six feet under!
Seriously though, unless the trapper is carrying 3 traps at the time of the hooking, it's pretty safe to go for the rescue. I'm fairly certain that each basement needs at least 3 traps to lock down. One open pathway is all it takes to make every bit of effort worthless.

I'll try for a basement save unless the killer is sticking around the area too close. Had a couple teammates RAGE at me for being the worst teammate ever for not going for a basement unhook against a Freddy who was camping the basement. (By which I mean he was staying in the basement on the stairs). It's their own fault for all 3 of them getting into the basement to begin with TBH. It's pretty clear he was going for basement plays too.

I've had people get mad at me for not going for saves against Bubba or NOED Killers basement camping. Like no, I rather not feed them the 4K! Trapper wise it depends on how much he is guarding and how good he is. Some Trappers can get overrun if all 3 are undoing his traps and making him lose control of the spot.

I almost did that today in a basement trapper match during egc but took the risk. I have BT and everything so I went in for the save and even though he was downed in the end because of a trap, I don't give up easily. I will always risk it for a good teammate!

Badham Preschool only needs 2 for the main building basement

A good trapper going for basement has the basement trapped before they ever hook anyone there, or trap after someone goes for the save (When they think it's safe coming back).

Oh yeah, you can put one on the stairs and one at the junction

I can't count the number of times I trap up around the basement at start of match and survivors just snowball what should've been 0k because I put no pressure on them to 4k because they want to loop by basement and then try to rush basement before I leave it even though all but 1 exit from where I entered is trapped. 😂 If it's Trapper avoid the basement, figure out somewhere else to loop.

The game that inspired this post, 1 gen popped. He is chasing someone else. I start 2nd gen. Don't even know who killer is yet. First down into the basement after stepping in trap at shack. Had a bad feeling about it so stated on gen to feel out the situation.
Maybe 15 seconds after the hook someone else steps in a trap. And 5 seconds after that a 3rd is trapped. He slugged one under the pallet so i make my way thinking maybe i can at least pallet save. But my bright red cosmetic is not stealth ready and he sees me.
Gets a hit i run and fish out a medkit with pharmacy. He closes hatch instantly and traps both gates. Game over in about 4 minutes.

I usually have kindred on in solo Qs, so I base my judgment on the situation on that perk, wish it was basekit.

100% agree with this thread but the main thing I got out of it was I need to play more basement Trapper! xD

I will still try for the save, if you can get a team mate to help it's doable even from the basement....especially with things like BT, DS etc
But I tend to run a fairly altruistic build at the moment so I've been making some riskier saves, some have paid off and some haven't - but that's the fun of it I guess.

Bloody coil that's what I wanted you to do

Depends on the killer location. But yeah if the trapper is proxy camping the basement you dig your own grave and giving killer even more kills is not smart.
But be ready to be called antimate lol.

Can an exception be made if Kindred is blatantly showing the Trapper setting Traps so you know roughly where to avoid stepping?

Hag, Trapper, Leatherface. If you get basement hooked against these killers you're dead.
If I see a teammate get downed because they tried to go for a basement rescue I just run down there and get myself killed so I can get a good match.

I won a game against potato red ranks the other day as Trapper using a single trap at the basement (I'm rank 12). I had one trap outside of the window so when two people would go in to rescue they all leave the shack in different directions, and I catch one of them. Grab them, put them in the basement, move the trap so whatever intel they hooked person gives is no longer valid.
Trap someone else thinking the trap was still at the window, rinse, repeat. Sometimes I leave the trap in the same place because they caught on that I was moving it, and then they get caught because they think I moved it.
I also trapped a few nearby windows and pallets so if someone does manage to get past my shack trap they get caught in a different one
Sometimes it's better to be a dick and leave someone to die, haha :D

Can say that i've only ever lost a single basement game, that was against a decent swf team, against randoms, its almost a guaranteed win once the survivors fall for it, which most do.

Omg guys a mod visited the board!

This is why the devs think the balance is fine and why kill rates are high.........
They need to remove all kills after the 5th gen from their stats.
