Question about the Trapper

just a quick question:
why does the Trapper hold his weapon in his left hand while standing in the menu, but he's holding it in his right hand when ingame?

    My guess is so that you can see the weapon in the menu. I never noticed that though!

    This.

    The only killers exempt from this is the Hag and Freddy.

    I don’t know but when I imagine it, it seems strange

    Possibly because slashing requires less dexterity than placing a beartrap, so he uses his right hand in the lobby since he doesn't carry traps, but he uses his left hand in-game since he has to get busy with his other hand.

    Every killer appears left handed at the menu screen (I think?). Just to make em look cooler I guess

    Secretly, The Trapper is an Octopus coming from the dangerous entity seas.

    actually its just The Trapper and The Huntress. Everyone else holds it in their right hand. And since Huntress always carrys her axe with both Hands, there is not much of an difference ingame. The Trapper is the only one, who holds the weapon left in the menu, but on thee right side ingame.

    alright. with the new chapter they changed it, so he's actually holding it in his right hand now :)
