Don’t let anyone fool you, Trapper is super good, if you play him correctly. You just have to place your traps in highly pathed areas. Learn which ways are most frequently traveled and lay traps accordingly. The only Gen defense I use is Thrilling tremors, and I really only use that to see whose working on gens. I could run trapper perkless and still do well. Gotta get the extra trap bags for sure though.
Trap placement, I avoid windows at the start, wait until later to place at a window.
Thank you for the tip on windows

There's already been a lot of great advice thus far, and if I may, add a bit myself. Not entirely perks or loadouts, but something that helped me immensely with Trapper, a killer that used to be my hands-down least favorite, and is now my go-to killer.
As survivors get better at higher ranks, you'll definitely have matches where you'll feel the pressure that you need to immediately chase them down as soon as you can move. My advise is don't be afraid to take a little time and set up, even go a little out of the way to pick a trap up or set it up somewhere (might even find a survivor while doing so!). Even if a gen pops while doing so, don't panic, these traps may very well be the difference in catching a survivor later on (can speak from experience both as killer and survivor on that one lol). The bag add-ons definitely help you get more used to this, and after a while you may be comfortable running a loadout without them as well!
Thank you, the pressure does get to me earlier in the match at times when gens are popping. I'll try staying calm.

Something nobody else has said so far:
Once you start going against better survivors you want to place traps in the grass around loops/windows instead of directly under a pallet.
Trapper is widely regarded as one of the worst killers partially because he spends a lot of time setting traps which may or may not pay out. This is why you want to hide traps so survivors won't just run past them and take a hit instead of going down instantly or disarm them (one survivor disarming a trap is a big net loss of your time because 1 second for them is like 4 seconds for you).
If you have to you can even place traps around large buildings survivors run you around to get to real loops. Potentially being unpredictable is one of the only things Trapper has going.
Thank you alot I'll look for good spots in the grass

3 gen setup, is when you find the closest gens together and try to put traps around the perimeter.
Thank you again just found out the number of gens that spawn is always the same

You find 3 gens very close to each other and put a web of traps in that area, it makes it very difficult for the survivors to finish the last generator. The trick is to not chase survivors when they try to lead you out of this area, and to not let them finish any of these gens even at the cost of the others. Usually if you're going to do this you want to run. pop goes the weasel. If you do go this route prepare for salt, survivors find killers that stick to a 3 gen to be highly annoying
Thank you for your advise I'll try it

TheEntityLeftHand is an experienced Trapper main, check him on Twitch. Otzdarva also considers himself a Trapper main (although he plays all killers) and he has some guides on him on Youtube.
Thank you, I'll check out both of them

Go to YouTube and check out otzdarva. He was a trapper main for a long time and is a great teacher when learning killers.
Thank you, I'll check him out tonight

I tend to place traps in areas were I know survivors will jump over, and or walk around, or while in chases. I usually place my traps to create a three gen set up. so around a certain area. As the match tends to go on, I will place traps on generators or choke points in certain maps such stairs and thing like that. Not to trap survivors but to alert me know if they disarm my traps. So I can go. But mind you if it's vs a SWF my way of playing may not work.
Thank you again, I'll try this out. But can I ask what's a 3 gen set up?

Honestly with trapper you don't really play him as regular killer, you have to lockdown areas with your trap. You don't go looking for people, you have to wait for people to come to your area. But I get what you mean, in red ranks survivors are usually a lot smarter and will loop you infinitely, and disarm any traps you put.
Thank you for your input, do you put alot of traps in one area? Like 2 or 4?

Yep, it's common for killers to rank up too quickly, then have difficulty getting back down to the rank they feel they should be at.
It's because there's a sudden leap in player skill around the purple/red ranks, which changes the game from being killer sided, to survivor sided.
You won't do well in red ranks unless you play a strong killer (Trapper isn't one of them) and take a lot of gen defence perks (which you don't have there).
I am generalising of course, but statistically speaking, you'll be facing better survivors at that rank who know how to play with killers.
The perks you have on are widely regarded as 'crutch perks'. Bitter Murmur aids you when you fail (a gen pops), NOED is a back up for when you really fail (all gens are done), Agitation shouldn't be necessary most of the time, and Deer Stalker is for when you lose a downed survivor which also shouldn't really happen. They all scream "I am having trouble" so yeah, you definitely shouldn't be at rank 5 yet.
If you're happy losing a lot of games, just power through and take it as an opportunity to learn and get better. Otherwise you can try to de-rank. Your best strategy to win games at that level is to try to use the basement as much as possible, but if you want to translate over to other killers then you can't rely on the basement all the time.
Thank you for the advise
