BullSh** using a trap is never a guarantee that it will work and if you underestimate FT you will waste one as you only get three.
As a Predator you dont just throw down a trap and hope for the best FT can escape even worse you might find AI falling into that trap.
Using Traps effectively the set up is a must if you can place a trap down and force FT to head in that direction and they get caught than your trap was set and executed with skill.
What is skill less is aimlessly shooting at anything that moves not paying attention and getting caught in a trap you dont see thats skill less. you dont like the trap? I dont like the bomb defuser I dont like having to deal with 4 Dutch characters plus AI in the game I could go on and on about the disadvantages the Predator does have but I will limit my response to your Topic, stay alert and you wont get caught in traps
