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.
Alt Mode: N/A
