Bear traps are broken!
When using a bear trap on a dino it deteriorates at a somewhat quick pace, and the dino attacks it to destroy it faster.

Bear traps that trigger on a human deteriorate at the VERY slow rate of one health every 5 seconds and CANNOT BE HARMED. They have 100 health so 500 seconds of immobility.

Tried hitting it with a metal pick, a pike, and shooting it with a Xbow. Since it was single player I activated fly and moved away thinking maybe it was positioning that was preventing me from damaging it. Nope. Still took no damage from my weapons.

As it is these are more OP than tranqs. PLEASE make them take damage from attack, even from fists.

Take damage? Yes.

From fist? No.

I think they should be nerfed against players and buffed against dinos.

let me punch something made of metal and damage it, let add the behmoth gate to the list of things we can punch and hurt

Lets make it so Dodos drop metal while we are at it.

In the interest of balance and fun, they should take damage from fists. Probably just 1 damage per swing, and the player would take damage like punching a wall but at least they wouldn't be trapped for OVER EIGHT MINUTES.

If you´re trapped, place a sleeping bag (you´ve hopefully brought with you) next to you, eat your poop so you die, respawn. Won´t that work?

I seem to be in the minority in my belief that bear traps shouldn't be game breaking.

They can be broken out of.

They are easy to spot most of the time.

They have friendly-fire.


Seem balanced to me.
