Greetings All !

I've encountered a couple of fellow scouts briefly... who seemed to be able to draw / throw a trap VERY quickly.

How?

Is there some way to set it so that ... say... if you have 15 Wire Mesh traps on-hand, you can set up a button on the control bar to throw that trap all the time?

I need to beef up my trapping skills. I've let my rifle take care of way more beasties than I probably should have, so far.

Thanks!

You can drag your created traps up onto your hotkey bar. When you select them it will toss one. You can also set up a macro to throw as many traps as you want. When I was leveling trapping, I had a macro set to throw all of my different traps and then do a bunch of headshots.

So, if I understand you correctly, even though I have 4 icons of Wire Mesh Trap in my inventory (for example)... and each one is actually 5 traps.... if I drag just ONE of these icons onto the hotkey bar... the system will know enough that if I click that icon a dozen times, it will empty the first set of 5, the second set of 5, and then two more... without me having to do anything other than click that button. Right?

Just checking, since I was under the impression that the hotkey bar wasn't exactly "smart" about these sort of things.

Thanks!

It's not that smart. If you have, like you said, 4 sets of wire mesh traps in your inventory, each with 5 uses, then you would have to drag each set up individually after they are gone. It is smart enough to know that if you click the same set on the bar 5 times, it will throw all 5 of them. You then just have to drag up another set to replace it. Hope that helps.

Ah, I see. Well that's something of a pain.

<sigh> Oh well, guess I'll have to do it that way.

Thanks!!
