Information[]

Traps, introduced with Publish 27, are devices that can be placed on the ground outside cities and then either remotely detonated or (for PvP only) set off by proximity detection of an enemy, depending on which type is bought. These traps can only be purchased from faction recruiters in exchange for faction points, and come in packs of 5.

The following classes have special abilities to do with traps:

• Spies
  • Can hide their own traps

  • Can disarm hostile traps

Detonation Mechanisms[]

Remote Detonation[]

Cost per pack of 5: 375 FP

When these traps are placed down, they leave a detonation device in your inventory. On using this device, the trap will be detonated as long as you are within range.

Proximity Detonation[]

Cost per pack of 5: 150 FP

These traps can be triggered by PvP enemies only. They can be placed with three different proximity settings, which are:

• 1 Meter
• 5 Meters
• 10 Meters

This setting can be changed by using the "Set Trigger Distance" option on the trap's radial menu before setting it down. This setting stays the same for the whole stack unless it is changed again.
