The Lethal Obsession Mission

[bigbadvuk]

How do you deal with booby traps which kill your entire team out of nowhere - is there any way to detect traps and defuse them or do i need to pray before opening each doors?

[Kong the Conqueror]

First, you need to identify the booby trap by using the mirror gun to detect and find booby traps, both you and the swat AI can do it. To defuse booby traps, if you saw the bomb through a mirror gun, which is usually placed below the doorframe. You can peek the door and defuse the bomb with your multi-tool or command one of your squadmates to do it. Also, don't rush through that mission and take it one step at a time.

You can also use the breaching shotgun from a distance to kick the door open and set them of beforehand

note: dont do this on missions where civilians might be behind the door + boobytraps

Thank you guys.

Mirror gun exists. If you ask your team to check behind the door and then there's a trap, the command will acknowledge it so your team won't opening the door accidentaly.

Edit: Kong already explained it all above so this is just a TL;DR.

if you dont have a mirror gun, just look at the right side of the door to open it ajar, you should be able to see the wire running across the floor, then from there just disable it

Agree, this can work too if you and your team don't have it.

Mirror gun or peek the door, your SWAT AI teammates can spot a trap by peeking or mirroring too and will inform you. You can disarm it or they can do it themselves.

Ignore the guy who said breaching shotgun, troll or dummy, call it.

Breaching Shotgun works from range (or at least it used to) so this can work if you're far away. Same with C2.

Oh, C2 breach wiped out my team this morning, but optiwand works fine.
Thumbs up

Always peek the doors in those kind of missions.
