How do reverse bear traps work?

[Liber-Tea Enjoyer]

Do you have to get to a specific box and do a successfull skill check, or is it just a skillcheck at any box? can survivors see all the boxes all the time? Muchos Gracias

They say " Specific Box" but all the videos available say otherwise.

Boxes are highly visible at all times, like if you can't find a box you're blind.

When a Reverse Bear Trap is placed on your head the timer won't begin until a generator is completed. Afterwards you have roughly 2 minutes to locate a Jigsaw Box. There are 4 by default and only one of them has the key you need to unlock the RBT. You need to go through about 20 seconds of skillchecks to see if it is the correct JS box. If not the puppet will laugh at you and you'll need to locate another one. Jigsaw boxes show aura and the timer disables during chase, on hook or in dying state.

Will add more info in a bit.

Survivors can see the boxes when they're trapped, when you get to a box you have a chance of getting a key from it, however that chance looks a hell of a lot higher than 1 in 5.

Do slugged survivors on the ground with a RBT on their head far far away from the killer have the timer go down or does it pause when they are in the dying state, I forgot.

It stops completely. Being a chase stops it, being on a hook stops it, being downed stops it.

I play mostly killer, so when I play wurvivor I don't want to get super surprised

Lame, I was theory crafting a slug build using bear traps to kill everyone :sad

Yeah sadly the traps really don't look like they're meant for actually killing the survivors, just slowing them down a little.

I guess technicaly the real jigsaw never truly wants people to die in his traps, but, this killer did set up traps that were impossible to escape from. I realize the devs don't really want a guarenteed mori kind of thing going on, but two and a half minutes is way too long considering the timer stops so often and easily.

I have a feeling you wanna save the bear traps until 1-2 generators left

maybe throw out just one for early pressure, keep people from popping too early

Honestly as a killer main, and using the pig, I have never once gotten a kill with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RBT they always get the right box first try every time.

Never once... the dlc barely dropped... have patience or think of better strats for when to pop em with RBT

I feel that the point of RBT is to delay and distract. They don't really do anything except force people to run around doing nothing of value, and making them predictable so can further ambush them at boxes which have more skill checks than gens making people easier to sneak up on.
