"The Traps skill governs the player's ability to find and remove of traps. The skill also has an impact on the player's ability to handle timed explosives properly. This excludes grenades, as they are handled under the Throwing skill. "

Usage

The higher your Traps skill, the more damage you do with when setting off Dynamite, Plastic Explosives or use the Inferno Armor explosive belt.

As said in the description, this does not affect the damage done with Throwing weapons. Also, the higher your Traps skill, the less likely you are to set off a trap, such as bear traps which often spawn near footlockers, when attempting to disable it.

Note: Maximum Traps skill is 150. You can make it higher with learning books which continues to increase the damage of Inferno Armor and explosives.

Note Explosives do 645% damage at 150 Traps.

Types of traps

Bear Traps

• 20-60 dmg with high chance of crippling legs.
• Can be very dangerous if you don't see them as it is easy to walk over several at a time. They appear as you approach them, based on your Perception.
• Usually found in random city encounters around a locked footlocker.

Land Mines

• Much higher damage
• These do explosive damage and also have a very high chance of crippling legs.
• Exceptionally common in level 1+2 of Infinity mines.
