traps

Not sure if this has been suggested I'm sure it has so just bear with me.

grenade+rope+tin can=grenade trap

shotgun+rope+door/doorway=shotgun trap

nail+shotgun shell=mine(bury it in the ground step on it)

you could also have non lethal alarms just substitute the grenade for flares.

i know the mod had some of these i don't see why we can't and I'm sure they are working on them if not i hope so.

if anyone else has other ideas of traps please post them I'm curious what we can come up with.

ability to take rope or a tarp or something and make a net, lay it on forest floor and set it up so when stepped on the person is trapped in a new suspended in the air. stererotypicial movie scene.

I'm sorry to inform you, but jamming a nail into a shotgun shell does not in fact create a mine.

Why not bear traps as well? That would be an amazing addition.

Seeing as there's bears and all now.

Still, insta-kill traps like grenades would be really annoying. They'd have to be visible to the careful player.

Some good alarm 'traps' could be to shattered glass on hard ground could act as a good early warning system.

Some traps I could see are small traps used for hunting small animals such as Rabbits and Chickens. I think somewhere in the game files or even mentioned by a dev prior that Snares for small animals might be a possibility by finding wire and some wooden sticks.

I wouldn't rule out Grenade Traps completely, personally I would think that in order to make a grenade trap you'd have to rig a door or place a tripwire across an open door. If it's a tripwire, using something like a rope is easily gonna be fairly noticeable while wire or fishing line is a better bet for a tripwire. For booby trapping a door, perhaps allow the grenade safety lever to make a loud ping when a player opens a door, at least signify that the door is infact boobytrapped.

 

Early warning systems are always nice, perhaps tying a trip wire to a road flare, Flashbang or even a Smoke Grenade are ideal warning systems/distractions?

As a landmine no, this wouldn't work, any shot would just be directed further into the ground if done so. HOWEVER, it does bring out an element for an old trap called a Spring Gun. Best example I could show is in Metro 2033

 

Simply put, it's a shot shell, loaded into a small pipe, attached with a spring, a firing pin (such as a nail) and attached to a wire or piece of string, once trigged, it fires a shot into an unsuspecting victim and depending on the height, determines how much damage is inflicted.

.... these aren't the kind of traps I hoped for

I'm not too fond of these either, I like the more traditional traps, such as snares for example, nothing that really kills, more just traps or something along those lines.

Well not a mine but it'll do about the same thing which is blow your foot off. By the way your avatar annoys me for some reason not trying to flame just saying.

I think most folks don't like the idea of a lot of these traps cause they know the hot-loot spots and mil-loot areas would be filled to the brim with them and you are right that's the point. And as for them being insta-kill I would rather them maim or incapacitate but killing is good too, hell a 7.62 can insta-kill hell most of the guns in the game can so why not a improvised trap.in a guerilla style survival scenario like we are playing in there would be a lot of traps.https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQZeweN8QEFSTos2LmtmZ5K8lIfXhHaWlATF0xJ4akyfvJ9YrpGnw https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQRXl8WA0vx1v5wdZimlmemZGiHpr9FCBvyxG28rIXmqJKNKLS_

  (I'm not too well informed, so bare with me) How exactly would pushing a nail into a shotgun shell blow your foot off? Oh, and why does my avatar annoy you? :P
