This will make TRAPPER an at least A tier.

He should carry 2 base traps (+1 on the map).

He should get the traps from lockers (at the base, it will be a nice animation), just like huntress gets her hatchets.


Very simple, right ?

    he should just start with all his traps in hand and have 10 by default.

    maybe add a logwood dye to his basekit.

    there you go, he saves massive amounts of time in the early game and also can spread his setup over the map a lot better.


    i dont know where this locker idea came from, but i personally dislike it. on some maps, lockers are ridiculously hard to get to, which would cripple him. also, by adding a locker opening, trap grabbing and then locker closing animation to him, that would take a lot more time than just picking it up - i mean, with the locker idea he'd also have to walk to a certain spot on the map to get his traps.

    @Mister_xD What about making him able to set a trap without picking it up ? This would be extremelly nice especially with the traps that are already in a good spot.

    yes, that also sounds good, but when he can carry all traps at once, that wouldnt be very necessary tbh, since he could always just pick it up and replace it immediately.

    the whole idea of resetting traps came from when wanting to reset a trap at a good location, but you were full on traps, so you had to put one down, pick the other one up, set that trap and then pick the other one back up, which was a huuuge time waster.

    Just a lot of minor QoL stuff could be added to the trapper, bam he's viable, and the most important one is a couple more traps in hand at the start. I don't see a need to add lockers in though, the traps are plentiful enough.

    Truth is, he can be an excellent killer, but people need to invest more time into him than most other killers to squeeze that extra bit out.

    I think his traps should start scatered across the map as nlit is now, only already armed.

    I appreciate the attention for my trappy boi lol. I don’t think he should get traps at lockers, but I do agree that something should be done. My best guess would be to just have him start out holding all his traps so he doesn’t waste the early game away. He’d still have to pick them back up wherever he left them, but as is he’s practically not even in the game the first few minutes. If he needs more, then we can discuss it, but I think that would be a good stepping stone.
