These are good QoL changes, but I feel like it won't make much of a difference in terms of strength.
I've been saying for years that the trapper's real problem is how easily survivors can nullify his power in a matter of seconds. It doesn't matter if he starts the game with all the traps or if he has 50 traps because it's very easy to disarm them and it doesn't require any type of skill.
One solution I proposed is that Bloody coil should be basekit and work in a different way. the traps should have a risk when disarming them, I think it could be a difficult skillcheck like overcharge.
If the survivor fails the skill check, he is injured and is trapped for 1 or 2 seconds with an animation as if his hand had been trapped due to a mistake but if he completes it successfully, the trap is disabled for the trapper for 20-30s, this way the basement strategy and the strategy of locking down some areas do not become so oppressive if the survivor manages to get it right.

He'll have his time to shine in 2v8 I feel especially if it becomes a mainstay like they say. I still think he is a good killer, he just has niche strengths. If you homogenise him to just be a chase killer, then… what's the point, he'll just be man with machete, not the trapper.
I think Demo is onto something, maybe like the mimics that Vecna has, it would work well with his base perk unnerving presence etc.
I do like the idea of being able to set traps from a distance with a CD however, but it could be a huge issue where you activate a trap at will when someone runs over one they just disarmed, it'd feel awful to play against.1 -
Traps should not be darker but rather more camouflaged, also a few of those feel quite annoying, basekit in combination with addon 10 second time to disable a trap? Jesus that's a long time... Basement trapper unbeatable xD

i agree, but i think it is better to just put iri stone. it set traps up passively for trapper and if a trap is disabled, the add-on can reset it over time.

Reading everything here, the ideas I really like:
- Starting with an extra couple of traps at the start of the map over the his carry limit. This helps him get going at tne start of the trial.
- Difficult skillcheck when disabling the trap woth a wound on failure. Bloody Coil always wounds still, but also adds deep wound when it fails.
This seems like a couple of really nice changes for Trapper.

I was thinking about it and yeah it would make him much better.
