about the pigs traps...
why would they make the timer activate only after a gen has been poped and on top of that it takes 2.5 minutes for the trap to go off after the timer has been set? why not just make the timer activate immediately after putting the trap? 2.5 minutes is plenty of time. survivors can pop all teh gens in like 3 minutes....

they dont want killers to actually be a threat

You forgot the part where survivors can see the boxes auras

One dev commented that the RBT were not intended to be instant killers or killing survivors but instead stall the game, "Sorry, no 1 push button win." I'll have to find it.

The point of the traps is to apply pressure and keep survivors off generators. If the timer started immediately, there would be no reason for non-trapped survivors to stop working on gens. 2.5 minutes is plenty of time... because the trap isn't actually supposed to kill you, it's just supposed to keep you away from the actual objective long enough for the killer to hook and sacrifice as usual.

The traps were not made for Killing Survivor. I dont think we will ever make a Power that directly kill a Survivor. No Win button sorry. If a Survivor dies by a trap is mostly because he wasted too much time or took too much chance.

The real intention of the Trap is to make Survivor take more time which give Killer more time to get them.

i would agree with you if traps werent so easy to disarm. i've watched a lot of matches on xbox where the survivors almost always get the key from the first box they search on top of being able to see all the boxes on the map + there's no point on not working on a gen while someone's trapped cuz if the trapped survivor is being tunneled, slugged or hooked the traps timer stops and the killer is just wasting time while other survivors can work on gens almost like camping but if he isnt tunneled, slugged or hooked he can easily find the key without having to wait on gen poping. its just too situational

This is exactly. What. I. Predicted.

And I also correctly predicted bloodlust would punish non-loopers and not affect loopers at all.

Hire me, Dev team.

I think her best bet is to not defend the puzzle boxes, she would be hurting herself in possibly getting one kill and ignoring the other 3 survivors. There is no way she can defend all 4 puzzle boxes and pressure other survivors.

Best bet is to just leave that RBT survivor alone so they can waste time saving themselves and focus on active prey. That one survivor has a death wish so I would just consider that survivor dead for now and move on.

Maybe then just hook the rest instead of the RBT survivor? So one is possibly screwed but the 3 remaining must work out a way to save each other and do gens as she hooks them all. If the one survivor gets the RBT off then trap someone new but only one? Idk the strategy yet.

It's not always so easy to disarm. The keys are randomly distributed at the beginning of the match, so survivors who find it first try are just getting lucky. Add in the fact that the killer might still be around, forcing a survivor to stop searching the nearest box, and you'll have some survivors wearing a trap for a pretty decent length of time

idk man i've watched this streamer play ALOT of matches and like 95% of the survivors get it first try the streamer which is a survivor main with 2800 hours even said so himself. idk man this might be a glitch on xbox or something

By the 2800 hours comment, I assume you're watching the same person that I am (Diatech) and most of the games I've been actively paying attention to had survivors usually finding the key on the 3rd or 4th try.
