Bear trap

The Bear Trap is an item that can be placed to cause significant damage to anybody who steps on it. It is used by the Scoundrel default mercenary.

= Overview = Once placed, the trap remains where it is indefinitely until triggered and features a small trap icon above it to alert friendly players. Damage dealt is based on the victims leg armor:

If a player survives the damage, they are knocked onto their backs for a moment, leaving them vulnerable. After being placed, a new bear trap can be acquired by interacting with a Resupply Box.

 * Damage dealt is halved for the trap owner and teammates, regardless of whether the Friendly perk is used or not.
 * Can be equipped by Peasants.
 * You can only have a max of 4 beartraps active at the same time.
