You can defend yourself - the trapper does no damage itself, you can still fire your weapon, just makes it harder. It also has to be tuned - the time , reload, range, etc.
These are the kind of things that will really only be effective depending on the person building them, as far as placement. From a short distance you can destroy them easily, but place in an ambush area in conjunction with maybe 1-2 other players makes it a feasible defense. It will require vigilance as well, a trapper might work once, but if no one is actively playing off it, the trapper will get destroyed.
"especially if that hinderance doesnt come through another players ability "
Just in case it wasn't clear these are placed by other players. The players skill doesn't come into play with the actual function of the trapper, but also stated before , the players skill will come in placement of the trapper. Does that make sense?
Those shots arent from a release map - it's a test map that has varying degrees of light/dark and a mishmash of areas to test items, gameplay, features, etc. I'll post some brighter shots next time. It might also be that my monitor is turned up brighter than most?
