Trivia
- Chemical Trap also staggers the Killer if the Trapped Pallet is broken by The Entity.
- This occurs, for example, when triggering Spirit Fury
.
- It does not, however, do so if it is broken by a Guard from The Knight
.
- The trap will trigger but remain without effect.
- A Trapped Pallet can be reset to its upright position by using Any Means Necessary
.
- The Trap will remain active and continue showing its Aura to Survivors.
- Chemical Trap can only slow the Killer, not Survivors.
- If the Trapped Pallet is broken because of a Survivor interacting with it (i.e. while Dissolution
is active), Chemical Trap will still trigger, but not apply any penalty to the Survivor.
- Chemical Trap can stack its Movement Speed penalty with other slow-down effects (i.e. Champion of Light
).
