Bear Traps : Do they exist?

[Shadow Man 142]

The danger comes from the traps remaining in place after they are removed. One of my clanmates broke his legs after placing one and moving it. It still existed in the first place, it was only invisible.

I imagine some trolls in Cherno or Elektro could have a good time with that...

:o Could this be whats really happening with all the broken legs in doorways etc?? Its the phantom bear trap.... man.

I found one in this necro post.

So, I've been playing pretty much constantly (6 hours each evening) since 1.7.2 got released. I've not seen or had a leg broken by a bear trap yet. I'm guessing they would be found in Farm loot points, I've been to a lot of the big (high) farm loots but yet to see one..

Anyone else had any experience with a trap yet? Post some screenshots? Tell us where you found it etc.

Cheers all.

yes you mainly find in barns found quite a few they are pretty much useless now . tbh they havent been that great since added :lol: one of the bugs with em was you could put em down pick back up but they would stay there but invisible :rolleyes: :lol: found this out a few times by mistake from setting my own traps lol . so if you ever run and magically broke your leg this maybe have been the cause and not the hacker you screamed out loud :P

heres me messing with my bear traps :lol:
