The Trapper is Dead by Daylight’s first and most iconic killer, often considered the game’s “classic” introduction to killer gameplay. His power lies in placing bear traps around the map to control loops, choke points, and high-traffic areas. Experienced Trapper players use traps to restrict survivor movement and force mistakes, turning safe pallets and windows into deadly zones. While his early game can feel slow due to setup time, a well-prepared Trapper can completely dominate the mid-to-late game through strong map control and punishing positioning.
