Best places to put traps?

[day]

I put them behind windows, near pallet jungle gyms, and in tall grass, yet nobody ever gets caught in them.

Random locations always work best for me, the better survivors always know to look in the strategic spots. They can know where I am going to put them if I don't know where i am going to put them.

Those are the best spots. Put them tight against pallet loop obstacles in tall grass too.

Traps kinda take some luck too, good placement won't always guarantee traps unfortunately.

[Motivation]

Trapper is kind of meh right now. Only spots even really worth trapping are the infinite spots. I say the rest pretty much just waste time and there is a very low chance people are going to run into them.

Yeah that's pretty good advice I guess.

For me placing traps between pallets and "rooms" with only one Window worked very well for me... a important point are your hunting skills you can chase them into traps... and of course u need a bit of luck... i avoid the tall grass most Surv's find them...

Window traps are good.
Pallet traps are good if you place em right.

If youre gonna put a trap next to a pallet, it should be hidden in grass, if you can see the trap, its gonna be useless.

Trap pallets by trapping the side of the tile, where survivors will around when looping it or after they dropped the pallet. That always works for me.

Always trap hunters shack by either placing a trap outside directly in front of the window, or by a corner left or right to the window.

Don't trap windows or pallets, trap the bushes NEAR windows or pallets that people will loop through. I almost always get at least 2 people in my traps when I play trapper because of this.

You should still trap windows with grass next to them imo.
Like the silo with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ (for the killer) window open. I just double trap it by placing a trap on both sides.
♥♥♥♥ that window. Everytime a survivor vaults that, my PTSD triggers.

I always trap in grass or dark spots works wonders

Best way to know where is best to put traps is to play as survivor. Put them in places you think they'll go during a chase, but don't put them anywhere to obvious or they'll just get disabled. Put them in common walk routes to generators or in-between areas, but never out in the open. The little spikey plants and leafy ferns are the best places to put traps because they're near impossible to see - plus, putting them on the very edge of the grass is less predictable than putting them in the middle.

Any spot where it's popular to pallet loop or vault.
Other than that, grass. Tall grass is preferred.

[Roald]

Put them along the outside walls of jungle gyms, not just under the pallets. Imagine the loop a survivor will do around a pallet and place the trap somewhere in the path they'll take.

Don't put them immediately next to generators in tall grass. Think about the possible paths a survivor can take if they see you coming, move it a bit further up that path.

Set up traps for the late game too. Choose generators you want to defend and place traps logically so that as the game progresses you're narrowing the playing field for survivors.

I mean, personally I always precheck that window against trappers specifically for that reason and I assume others do as well.

yeah but the thing is, when I play survivor, I know most of the potential trap spots, because I play trapper a lot, so atleast have the trap be useful in a chase, by entirely blocking the window.

i like to place them in high chase areas, or even in places where you would not think they would be. A lot of survivors will hang around the back wall areas or around the small walled areas. When you go to chase, they will usually run in these areas.
