Why do Trapper's traps give notification to survivors about his addons?
I know for sure the purple Honing Stone (if you free yourself you are in dying state) gives the survivor an icon indicator when they step on it on the lower left next to their perk icons. So what usually happens is the trapped survivor usually won't try to escape if a teammate is relatively nearby to rescue them.
Im not sure about the Bloody Coil addon (when you disarm you are injured), if it gives you an indicator when you are attempting to disarm the trap.
It wasn't like this before. It was a surprise factor as to whether is safe or not to free yourself from a trap, or whether disabling a trap will injure you. This icon indicator happened patch 5.3.0 when trapper was buffed to be able to carry 2 traps by default which was a much needed buff.

Nah, Honing Stone always worked like that. Bloody Coil is the exact opposite, as far as I know - it used to show survivors you had it by having the disarm action bar be red, but now it doesn't do that anymore.
