BEAR TRAPS?

[TobiasJupiter]

So i think the idea of bear traps is awesome, but i just recently stepped on one inside a building, and it broke my feet...... now when you go to inventory it doesn't say anything is broken but i can' t stand, i can onlly crawl in prone. So these leads me to my concern... atleast make it so people can crawl prone threw door ways... at the moment im stuck in this room, in this building, and can't make my way out the door to go make a sling..... that is all :)

i just had my first bear trap experience the other... found it in someone's tent that i found, after looting the tent of supplies, i took and hid the trap in some cross directly in front of the tent entrance haha.

then the server reset and it disappeared (haha damn it)

I set a bear trap up last night that still makes me giggle when I think about it. I cross my fingers and hope that someone both stumbles on it and shares their experience on the forums.

I would set bear traps up w/o pants on! Just set one and it hit me and ruined everything below the waist!

Bear traps and landmines are dumb. Just troll fuel.

Bear traps ok, I can understand, but land mines need to GO. Shouldn't be able to run through Kamyshovo and leave with 7 landmines.......

i love to set up the beartraps just inside of doorways and close the doors... most people will just run inside without watching where they step. i then go back and check my traps periodicly and harvest my catch :)

I'm still not sure if mines blow up in my face because of the lag or because being damaged makes them explode when you activate it.

[Judge Lazar]

When you place the mine on the ground and activate it you have 3 seconds to run away. It will say something like "The mine will be armed in 3 seconds" down in the bottom left.

BE CAREFUL. From what I experimented zombies DO NOT set them off. I had a zombie run past a mine like 10 times and it never went off. Then a player came along, got within a few feet of it and before I could say "NO DONT DO THAT" it exploded and killed us both.

Which leads me to another gripe, the kill radius is INSANELY large. I was decently far from the mine, far enough that I would have felt safe throwing a grenade. Land mines should only have enough power to kill the person who steps on it and MAYBE wound anyone within 20-30 feet. They are much to powerful as is, you can wipe a whole squad with one mine, and that is dumb.

No no, there's something really wrong with mines. Sometimes, it seems the trap radius is like 10m. I always back away as far as I can until the option to ''Activate the mine'' dissapears, then I move a little bit forward to make sure I'm as far as possible and it still blows up in my face. I was able to do it successfully about 3 times out of 5 I'd say.
