Remove Traps from bases

Attachment 5254

Ok so as you can see in this pic GETS are using traps to defend there base. Now we all know GETS needs 20 people to take 1 base, but this is just omg. Covering the door and 5 of them spamming traps and 10 noobs killing you with meeles. This trap "strategy" is getting out of hand and gangs are relying on it to secure bases.Basing has come to this and securing a base is becoming on who is more cheap and scrubby. Now most of you will say it is used only at pz which is primarily true, But ive seen it be used at other bases such as mafia doors, gz halls, bh at times with the 2 doors leading into the halls. Basing has become were its not skill anymore just cheapness. To make this stop we must remove traps from bases. It ll only make everyone life easier. Please have this happen. Goodluck basing peeps :)

Post your thoughts on this.

Or just make it so traps cannot be close to doors in bases, that way people can get in without getting murdered the second they walk in. However I'm not sure how they'll do that. Yes traps are meant for the purpose of stalling players, but I do agree that it should be dealt with somehow.

They are classifying it as "Basing equipment" and thinking it used to stall players as you said. When its really being used as a kill weapon and highly effective when you have a lot of them.

It's annoying also when there was a trap recently set and you get shot and get trapped by an invisible one...

This! The glitch is sooo annoying! Why dont we use this glitch to an advantage. Traps have a 50% chance of trapping you and a 50% chance of not and letting you go. This actually might fix the problem and the glitch.

They are great if used properly but that use is really just gey. The only use of them I condone really is for a guy who's running in and out of doors so they can be killed or for flag rushers. Ways to solve this would be making it so they can't be placed within a certain distance of eachother and within a certain distance of a door. They might as well either do that or just nerf them like they did crates, crates used to be insane because there weren't any explosives they couldn't be picked up and the fastest melee was a machete now they're completely useless.

I think the best nerf would be that you have like a 50% chance of getting trapped or not. Less than that if they're generous enough

Then traps are useless.
There's still this skateboard trap glitch where you equip a skateboard and it allows you to not get trapped but take damage a bit from them.
Which is also useless but good way to avoid those trap craps.
If there's a 50% chance to trap.
Then era fortknox shall lose business in selling those stuff with its stuff going nerfing.

You dont even base much to understand why traps should be nerfed they would still have a chance of trapping but it cant be 100% cause thats to op and people can just spam them all around away from door keeping you away from vault. If its 50% you may be lucky and be able to break through. Keep in mind you still have to dodge the people shooting at u. It'll make defending and attacking even.

People in maelstrom actually have ranks like "trapper"

I don't base but at least I experienced what basic and all this are before you do.

I suppose I'm partially to blame for how many trappers there are. I bought traps a long time ago (maybe like August idk) and I kept placing them in wrong spots. So I had an idea what if we can move traps so I feedbacked it, then snk pmed me asking if they just reduced the price would that work so I said yes not thinking of the long term and now we are here today and it's an issue.

Traps are overpowered when coupled with all these overpowered melees. I think that 50% idea could work and should at least be trialled.

Traps are annoying in spar too.base as well.but it shouldn't be NERFED or banned from basing cause that's overdoing it....instead we should come up with other ideas like implementing a way to disable traps!so it's not definite to step on them:)

I know im just saying like I havent seen you really base much in the last 3 months to understand how people are using them to do this. The last 3-6 months is were traps were being used as a highly effective base weapon.

Basing to me is ridiculously boring.
I rather PK/spar than gaining base hours.
I have know people like using traps on door entrances, some melee can destroy a trap by chance.
If you've tried.

Thats another thing. Guns can destroy traps but meeles cant? Wierd.

Another problem is when the traps in past an entrance but in a place that as soon as you enter the room you are stuck and killed by armies of melees.

Yup thats what we were talking about

Lol, I only use traps to kill streaker lmao, I dont base so idk how bad it is

The ability to destroy traps with only a few melee or gun hits would be nice, maybe 3-5 hits, instead of unloading a whole clip just to take out one trap like it is now. Also Mystic's idea about removing traps from doors would be great. That way, you can enter a room and actually have the chance to destroy a trap.

I think the door thing that mystic thing would be awesome, but I also think the traps itself needs a nerf. 50% chance of getting trapped would be more legit. Atleast they can not just lay traps all around the room and you have to dodge all of them.

Shoot pbp into trap 3-4 times and trap with disappear.

Not if they spamming them on a door

but then a whole gang will be in a circle in the door

I didn't even know you could destroy traps with guns .-.

I would like if the timer for how long your held in a bear trap was shortened because it is ridiculous imo right now.
