Good Trapper Build?

With the butchering of Ruin I feel that Trapper will have much more pressure than before in future matches. What perks do you suggest for the upcoming patch.

I was thinking of using NOED and just trapping a well hidden dull totem to guarantee that it activates. I was also thinking Blood Warden would be the cherry on top.

Ill definitely want Whispers so I could know which door that the survivors will be near. I’ll probably have to start trapping the doors with multiple traps at the start of the match gens will pop faster. What should I use for my fourth perk?

    Haunted Grounds or Remember Me considering what you are going for.

    Yea, those are good suggestions. I think haunted grounds could lessen their guard after they cleanse it, making them think that totems aren’t as important anymore.

    Dont forget that just because you trap a dull totem, doesnt mean THATS the totem its gonna spawn at. The NOED could just as easily spawn at a totem right next to the last gen they do.

    the Trapper build I do the best with is this:

    Corrupt Intervention - to give yourself setup time at the beginning of the match

    Ruin (old) - wont have use after the nerf is live

    Huntress Lullaby - to give Ruin a lesser chance of being cleansed first, and also good for tracking if it says up

    BBQ - tracking


    EDIT: you could use Devour Hope or NOED instead of Ruin, otherwise this is my build every day.

    I’ll be using NOED instead of Ruin, I want to see the survivors running around like headless chickens, only to get caught in traps, so Corrupt Intervention May be a must have.

    Would be nice if Trapper started with a base of three traps, and his bag add on would be standard.

    Haunted grounds depends what skill you have and goes great with whispers or bitter murmur.. Depends what addons you have.. Whispers are great for placing traps if you hear whisper don't place trap because surv can see you..

    As a trapper you don't wanna chase like crazy he has zero gen pressure so you need to state a place and defend gens.. Place traps on clutch spots in high grass around loops etc.. Always keep 1 trap in hand so you can instra kill loop.. If surv is looping you tex to pretend placing trap it almost always works because surv just rum out of loop ..

    Go with corrupt intervention, pop,surge and whatever you want.. But great perks for him are stbfl, whispers bbq for points,thrilling tremors which gives you nice survailance with blocking gens..

    But be wary thrilling tremors in ptb or maybe in live servers are bugged little and pop don't work with surge which is again bug..

    @Almo any chance for checking this nasty bug? If you have active pop and surge activates pop is automatically wasted..

    For placing traps you don't wanna place traps in whole map thats common mistake just im your territory.. And start placing traps under exit door switches nearly at the end of match..

    If you wanna watch best trappers check om twitch ostdarva and entitylefthand hra trapper main only

    Devour Hope, STBFL, Brutal Strength, and BBQ is my go to Trapper build. For addons Padded Jaws is a must to get the most out of STBFL, and I like to run one of the Trapper Bag addons for easier set up time.

    My mean Trapper perk build: NOED, Franklin's, Blood Warden, and Remember Me. Trap exit gates. Tunnel obsession. Hit everyone trapped. Trap dropped items.

    AvisDeene Member Posts: 2,396

    Oh my goodness, I didn’t think about trapping items! Who do I need to level up so I could unlock Franklins?

  • AAAAA

    Leatherface. Just don't put the bear trap right on top of the item or it'll be too obvious; put it where they would approach from or where they would go after grabbing it.

    Np! Franklin's is also really good with The Hag btw

  • AvisDeene
    AvisDeene Member Posts: 2,396

    I really hate the Hags point of view, but I’m going to give her a good shot after the nerf of Ruin. At least after I buy a lot of her add ons that let me teleport to any trap at any time.

    It’s going to be hard playing Killers that don’t have fast map traversal.

    franklins actually is not that great perk.. yes I know sometimes its good because surv wants their swetty toll boxes back, but from arsenal perks its weak and there are generally better options..

    yeah most of the trapper addons are sadly totally useless. so you like always wants to go with satchel.. then you have addon which darkens traps that is second best addon from trapper.and third one is for speed


    ultra and purple addons are fun to use but nothing crazy becasue they are too much situational and some of them colide with stbfl for example.. but they are fun to use :D

    I'd recommend Corrupt Intervention, seeing as Trapper is such a territorial killer and also removes 3 gens for the beginning of the match. Whispers is good for the reason mentioned, and so you know if a survivor is watching you place a trap or not. Bloodwarden I'm not too sure about, since if you get everybody quickly with NOED you won't have to worry about using it. Bloodwarden would be a good back up tho incase NOED gets cleansed or doesn't activate.

    yeah blood warden is for end game build and : if you want end game build : fire up, blood warden, noed, remember me.. but watch out most people will think that you ruin noed.. one of the best hexes for him is devour hope its so good ..

    brutal strenght is good too if you want to commin to more chases

    and thats all basically what is left for you are meme and funny builds with nemesis and stuff like that, but dont play those builds if you are beginner, or new trapper player.


    oh and one tip sometimes its good to place trap when pallet is down.. thats instacatch :) and for hitting surv into trap its hard to learn but best strategy is lure survivors into your traps..

    You should use Corrupt, which is the better Ruin and really valuable on Trapper.

    My Trapper Build:

    Corrupt Intervention-->early Slowdown and preparation Time

    Save the Best for Last-->Stacks are quite good to get with Trapper and the Obsession can be grabbed out of a Trap

    PGTW-->Slowdown, but I am thinking about replacing it with Brutal Strength or Whispers (to know if people are nearby who might see me placing a Trap)

    Enduring-->my go to chase Perk, so I can simply eat Pallets

    Add Ons are usually a Bag and Tar Bottles or Setting Speed.

    But if you want to see a really good Trapper, you can either watch Otzdarva or TheEntityLeftHand.

    Corrupt is better than current live Ruin. The only reason you should be running current live Ruin over Corrupt is if you don't have it.

    The Trapper is losing nothing with the Ruin change.
