Traps are explosive devices placed on the ground. They are useable by Protransers and types with some focus on ranged combat (Ranger, Fortegunner, Fighgunner, Guntecher). The Protranser gets a damage bonus when using traps, and will be the only class capable of using the most powerful traps in the game upon their future release. These items are a popular method of delivering potent status effects to enemies that would otherwise resist.

Usage

Traps are held in the third pane of the inventory window with other consumables and are bound to the item palette. When selected however, they take up your currently wielded weapon. The primary attack button is used to plant traps. Regular traps explode after roughly two seconds while G traps remain indefinitely until detonated via the secondary attack button. Multiple G traps may be planted in which case using the detonator causes all set traps to explode simultaneously. Changing weaponry while traps are still out in play cause all active traps to be removed from the board without detonation, resulting in a lost trap. Regular traps are capable of effecting a single target only but tend to do larger initial damage but have weaker status effects. G traps can effect as many as four targets simultaneously with weaker base damage but stronger status effects. G traps are also capable of effecting multiple hit boxes on large monsters simultaneously, resulting in larger damage in such situations. Traps always hit if a target is caught within the area of effect, if the trap has a status effect tied to it, it will deliver it unerringly unless the enemy is completely immune. All traps are capable of charging the SUV bar.

EX Traps

EX traps are a holdable trap which either ignites (burn trap EX) or erupts into a frozen geyser (freeze trap EX). available only to protransers, these traps do little damage but affects for aproximately 10-15 seconds depending on your protranser level, although little is known at the moment about EX traps the following information is based on the damages I've notice
