Pig box search numbers, how do they work with add-ons?

So, with 4 traps you get guaranteed 12 searches, that was added to pig to buff her consistency and nerf the AFK pig playstyle.

But, just curious, does anyone know how it works when you have more or less than 4 traps, what happens if you have 2, 3, 5 or 6 traps. Are the values random or do they also have fixed search values?

    I believe it scales to an average of 3 attempts per trap, which is then pooled between them.

    So if you have three traps, then you get 9 attempts in total, with whatever permutations allow for those traps to have either 1, 2, 3 or 4 attempts each.

    Two traps = 6, five = 15, and six = 18.

    Effectively, this makes increasing and reducing the number of traps less impactful, as fewer traps = more consistent search numbers (with two traps basically being a 50/50 between 3/3 or 2/4) and more traps = less consistent (six traps allowing for multiple one/two-shot removals).

    ALWAYS 3 attempts per trap.

    With 5 traps, the survivors need 15 searches in total.

    If they did give her chase music and a menu theme they would probably nerf her along with it. Because people dont know pig have different chase theme which means they are disadvantaged

    Regarding the Pig's 5-Box update:

    When we implemented this, we added another alteration to the key system, which was not announced. We didn't wish to call attention to it due to its complexity, but in light of the community response to the Five-Box update, we'd like to clarify that the Pig's update in this release is not a nerf.

    At the start of a match, The Pig begins with three "searches" per trap, or 12 searches in a normal game. Each time she places a trap, a number of the remaining searches is chosen, from one to four. This is how many searches it will take the Survivor to remove the trap.

    If all four traps are removed, it is guaranteed that all 12 searches will be used. As an example, we could have the following possible number of searches for the removal of the four traps in a game:

    2, 2, 4, 4

    4, 3, 4, 1

    3, 3, 4, 2

    etc.

    In the event that addons adjust the number of traps, so is adjusted the number of searches. So with Amanda's Letter, she has two traps and six searches.

    Before the update, it took an average of 2.5 searches to remove a trap, for an average of ten searches to remove all four traps in a match. We have increased the average from 2.5 to three, so that's a buff. Also, we have completely removed the worst case scenarios of four or 16 searches to remove the traps, so Pig's performance will be far less prone to RNG weirdness.
