Crossroads

The Holdout Point

The Tower Point

Getting Kills

The map sections will be presented in order of which maps beartraps are most effective on to which maps beartraps are least effective on.I think Crossroads is the only Frontlines gamemode map that deserves its own section because it is just so easy to use beartraps on this map. Playing beartraps on the old Crosssroads map is what initially inspired me to make my original guide.You should always play on the red team because it is easier to kill blue players using these strategies based on the direction that they spawn from relative to where you will be camping.When playing on crossroads, the most important thing to know is where you will be the safest. You will mainly be focusing on the Holdout point however you can play around the tower as well. At the Holdout point, it is the safest to stand on what I like to call the Safety Corner: This location allows you to be on the point at all times (which will get you a ton of points) while also being elevated and out of direct view from the enemies who come through. There is a danger zone when sitting in the safety corner and that is the staircase right behind you: You wont often be attacked from this angle unless the enemy team is getting really frustrated with you and is out for blood. Just watch behind you and keep your weapon ready to stab enemies that try to jump down on top of you from here. This image shows the best locations to place your traps in while camping in the safety corner. The numbers show which spots you should prioritize based on the number of traps you have available to to you. You can only have four bear traps active at a time but there is a fifth location there in case you want to change things up a little and put a trap somewhere more unexpected. Since it is most likely that you will have two sets of traps in your loadout, you will need to refill from the supply box once in order to get all four of your traps placed.The Tower is a much more risky locaiton to use beartraps at and will result in less kills as it does not have as much foot-traffic going through it. However, if the Holdout is taken and you want to use beartraps to defend the Tower, there is still a lot that you can do to be useful. The Tower does not have a safe location to stand like the Holdout does so your best bet is to use yourself as bait in the inside of the tower for enemies coming and trying to take it over. This image shows again the best trap placements while defending the Tower as well as the priority for placing your traps. Make sure to be careful of horses when refilling your trap supply while defending the Tower.When an enemy encounters a location where you have traps placed, you have a few different options in order to kill them.1) You can let them walk into your traps. This will result in them dying either instantly or falling over. If they fall over you can give them a single friendly stab to finish them off.2) You can stand on the other side of your traps and act as bait, distracting their view from the trap placed on the ground in front of them.1) This is where having a long range weapon comes in handy. You can position yourself with the trap between you and the enemy and take stabs at them until they accidentally walk into the trap or you kill them with your weapon.2) If they notice the traps but don't notice you standing nearby you can sneak attack them. You will get the opportunity to do this more often than you think because enemies will see the trap and instantly start trying to hit it in order to disarm it without checking to make sure there are no enemies nearby first. While they are trying to disarm your trap is the best time to hit them.Making them to panic may cause them to walk into one of the traps or you might just be able to do enough damage to kill them.3) Use the billhook to yoink them into a trap.
