Bear Trap

The is a Throwing gadget introduced in the 19.1.0 update.
== Appearance ==
The trap has a grey/red body with a set of white spikes around the edges, and a grey pressure plate in the middle. It is connected by a black chain that is buried beneath the surface.
==Performance==
When an enemy steps near the trap, the trap will snag onto the enemy's leg for 6 seconds. The player cannot move more than 5 steps, or jump a small height before they are held back. When an enemy reaches the radius' limit, they will start to take damage. 
After resisting and trap by moving beyond the maximum radius for 3 seconds, or by jumping 3 times continuously, the enemy will break free of the trap but take a significant amount of damage. The same result will happen when they attempt to rocket jump or fly off using the Jetpack or Demon Stone.
== Strategy ==
=== Tips ===
* Put it near your spawn so enemies will avoid spawn-killing you and your teammates.
* Deploy the trap somewhere where it is difficult to see, such as around corners, granted your opponent hasn't appeared yet.
* This trap is very effective when placed near the flag stand in Flag Capture, as the flag bearer cannot escape the flag room.
* Use this if there's a portal, that way if someone goes in the portal they will get trapped.
* Try placing this in a highly used footpath and wait for an enemy to walk into the trap, then finish them off with a shotgun or a Heavy weapon.
* This is useful for countering highly mobile players and rocket jumpers.
=== Counters ===
* When thrown, it lies flat on any surface, making it hard to see if you are not paying attention, so be careful about where the trap is.
* One can easily jump over the trap due to its small hitbox.
* Make sure to destroy the trap as fast as possible to prevent other teammates from activating it.
* If caught, keep on moving to break through the trap.
** Rocket jump or equip the Jetpack to escape at the cost of receiving massive damage.
** If low on health however, trying to escape will inflict a self-damage penalty. It's better to let yourself get killed than to commit suicide.
* Pets (except those who can fly) are useful for cannon fodder for the trap.
== Trivia ==
* It is the first gadget and item to feature the Entrapment attribute.
