Destroying traps

OK, so I played this game again for the first time in a couple of weeks (too busy to play) and nearly every time I place a trap, the FT just walks up to it and shoots it - this is long after it’s been set. I looked at the patch notes but it only says about how they’re destructible while being set.
Any way of knowing how they can do this? When I play as FT I can’t seem to see them at all :/

It’s a perk you get at later levels can’t remember the name

It’s breakable entirely now fireteam is busted

Not set. Activated. Like they can’t be destroyed after they catch a fireteam member, forcing them to hold interact to free themselves. To compensate, you get more traps and they are nearly invisible.

If you lower your music you will hear them. Once you hear them you can see the visual arc they create, sort of a distorted lens affect. You don’t need the perk to detect them, just good ears and pay attention to your environment.

True. In the heat of battle or a chase, they can be useful enough.

Ahhh I see. So, I layed a few on a rooftop and I’m guessing maybe because they were bunched together the distortion effect was maybe intensified?

It depends. I have my music all the way down and you can’t hear them if its action going on, like people shooting, AI shooting, predator shooting.

I guess it varies from person to person. I am a musician and professional audio engineer so, I kinda have my ear trained for subtle details in sounds. My eyesight on the other hand, is poor.

Well in that case I’m crewed. My ears are not trained for anything and my eyes sight is just as poor :)
I’ve set up an appointment this week to get me some glasses prescription.
