Gameplay tips
Don't waste time setting traps: place two or three at most and start chasing early (ideally with Corrupt Intervention) so you apply pressure as soon as possible.
Place traps at loops in front of or behind the pallet — never in the middle — or off to one side, so even if they drop the pallet they still walk into the trap.
Play and hook inside your trap zone: survivors keep walking through it over and over and go down far more easily.
