The Trapper

A killer guide by laughing_whales

The power

I don't play Dead by Daylight. I just make the website. But I've seen this guy, and I'm fairly confident about him.

The Trapper puts bear traps on the ground and waits for people to step in them. That's the whole plan. He's the only killer whose strategy I could explain to my grandmother.

My understanding is you spend the start of the match putting traps down and the rest of the match stepping in your own traps. Maybe that second part is just me.

Tips

Put the traps where people walk. Not where people don't walk.
Grass hides traps. Remember which grass.
If you step in your own trap, pretend it was on purpose.
Carry more traps. More traps, more problems. For them.
