Battle Royale

• Trap Master Rework
  • Before the rework, Trap Master’s triggering range displays as a straight line, making it difficult to use in outdoor combat. Once the trap is triggered it deals damage immediately, leaving the players with lack of counterplay.
  • After the rework, the Trap Master’s triggering range now displays as a sphere. Enemies entering the sphere will be slowed. Being inside the sphere for a period of time will trigger the trap causing it to deal explosive damage. Players can disassemble the trap to cancel movement debuff and prevent the explosion.
