How The Trapper Can be Better!

in Feedback and Suggestions

This is just a series of changes I believe would turn Trapper into a very good Killer without making him more complex to play and allows him to retain his ease of use for beginning players.

The idea of this following change list is to give The Trapper what he needs in order to function better in the game, without making him feel like he's unnecessarily complex or making him overbearing.

Power: Bear Traps

Spawning

  • Quality of Life: Bear Traps now spawn more consistently around certain windows or pallets rather than being completely scattered around the Trial.
  • Quality of Life: Bear Traps now attempt to spawn as close to The Trapper as possible while retaining this new spawn system.

Capacity

  • Buff: The Trapper no longer has a limit to the carrying capacity of Bear Traps.

Setting

  • Buff: Resetting any trap on the ground now takes 1.5 seconds.
    • 0.5 seconds to crouch.
    • 0.6 seconds to reset the trap.
    • 0.4 seconds to stand back up.

Escape Attempts

  • Change: Capturing a Survivor in a Bear Trap no longer has them attempt an escape through luck. Instead, captured Survivors must now attempt to escape over a period of time.
    • Attempting an escape alone takes between 7 to 20 seconds depending on The Trapper's range.
    • Attempting an escape produces Skill Checks that must be completed in order to continue. These Skill Checks contain Great Skill Checks that increase progression speed.
      • These Skill Checks are identical in appearance to the Wiggle Skill Check.
  • When a Survivor is injured, the time it takes to escape a Bear Trap by yourself is increased to 12 to 20 seconds depending on The Trapper's range.

Disarming

  • Buff: There is now a 1 second grace window that prevents Bear Traps from snagging The Trapper when a Survivor interrupts the disarming action.
